The Case of The Copper Fingers!!!! That was the very first Wimsey I ever read. I was instantly hooked. Yes, he is marvelous. My very favorite Wimsey is The Nine Tailors.What an incredible book.
: If you've seen Nero Wolfe series it's funny at
: times. The episode "Murder is
: Corny" is funny.
:
: I like Lord Peter Wimsey, is so casual and
: non-threatening that most criminals over
: look him before it's tolate. I especially
: like the short story where it turns out the
: woman had been eletroplated and added to a
: couch to hide her body. I admit it's
: grusome, but it surprises the hell out of
: you.
:
:
: Moving on...
:
: The reason I added pictures of his parents,
: in the video game they are actually his aunt
: and uncle, is because your doing Holmes
: seeing Hugh's past.
:
: Hugh's mother is an american. His father
: lived part of life traveling around the U.S.
: with his father, brother and sister. So Jack
: Holmes is americanized, for our convence.
:
: The realatives they are expecting are his
: younger brother and his family. His sister
: is dead and Jack's father has alienated
: himself from the rest of the family. Jack's
: mother is coming, she's divorced from Jack's
: father.
:
: You don't have to add all that. I'm just
: explaining to you the family situation so
: you know who to add and leave out.

: He doesn't sound like a very interesting
: character. Is he a dedtective, or what? The
: mystery genre produces some of the oddest
: characters. Have you ever heard of Sexton
: Blake? That guy, I don't know how he ever
: solved anything, he was so goofy. He got
: caught nearly every five minutes! lol

: It's both in book form and a television
: series
: through A&E. I believe the series occurs
: some time through late 30's or early 40's to
: the 50's. Nero Wolfe is fat, doesn't like
: leaving his home known as the brown stone
: and loves gourme cooking. Raises orchids in
: a rooftop hothouse.
:
: He has a chef called Fritz and assistant he
: gathers evidance and interveiws witnesses
: called Archie Goodwin. Archie is also very
: popular with woman and handie with a gun.
: Archie loves to dance and has more then a
: few dance partners. He lives at the brown
: stone with Nero Wolfe.

: I can guess where Irene came from. lol I
: think
: I've heard of Nero Wolfe, but I've never
: read anything of his.
:
: --Previous Message--
: Yes, their are few others from there.
: Character like Weapons Expert Irene Hudson
: and Officer Brian Wolfe.
:
: Personally I think they just wanted to add
: the name Wolfe because of idea proposed that
: Nero Wolfe, a character created by Rex
: Stout, was infact either the son of Sherlock
: Holmes or the more likely Mycroft Holmes.

: Whoa! Those are awesome pix. Are those from
: that game too?
: --Previous Message--
: That way will be just fine.
:
:
: Linda and Jack Holmes, I added the one with
: Jack postrate because I only have two
: pictures of him. Though it looks like Hugh
: laid out.

: That is going to be so sad....
:
: We can write it that way, but what I had
: actually meant was that I would write the
: flashbacks that Hugh was having (which will
: be Holmes') & you could do the
: flashbacks that Holmes would have (which
: would be Hughs). That might be better so
: that our character styles woudn't get mixed
: up. We could do it either way.

: Mmm... I should probably give you an outline
: since we were talking about my writing
: Holmes's flash back and you writing Hugh's.
:
: Hugh's family is at the sussex cottage that
: Holmes had retired to almost a century ago
: for Christmas. As always they are the first
: ones there and have a few days till a few of
: the other realatives. It's the morning, Jack
: Holmes has left for the village to pick up
: some presents sent for through the post.
:
: Hugh is at the cottage with his mother. Just
: finished violin practic, talks to his mother
: who has just finished making a few cupcakes.
: She made extra for Hugh's friend Dan who
: Hugh met that last two times they came out
: to sussex. Hugh leaves with two cup cakes
: after giving his mother a note for his
: father about how he believes his friend Dan
: who he saw just the other day is being abuse
: by his father. Hugh then leaves to met Dan
: at a bridge over an extremely old, man made
: aquaduct that leads out to the ocean.
:
: Dan, I would suggest has brown hair and
: eyes. Also he's older then Hugh. Is a
: scapegoat for local children. His fahter has
: hit him in the past, claiming and filing
: reports in the past claiming that Dan has
: been fighting with unknown local boys. Dan
: unfortunately believes that his father does
: what he does out of love because his mother
: was no good and killed herself one winter
: five years ago. Dan has misguided love for
: his father dispite the way he's being
: treated.
:
: So when Hugh confronts Dan about what his
: father is doing and possible police
: envolvement Dan attacks him.
:
: I was thinking, Dan hits Hugh by surprise
: causing Hugh fall down the small bridge the
: snow covered grass, close to the steap side
: of the aquaduct. Dan is attacking Hugh again
: when Hugh bashs Dan in the side of the head
: with a rock as hard has he can.
:
: Dan goes over in the aquaduct and Hugh tries
: to save him. Forced to shore by the cold
: Hugh struggles out of the aquaduct back to
: home. He makes it back just before sucomes
: to the cold.
:
: When he wakes he tells the adults that Dan
: and him were playing/wrestling on the
: snowcover ground when Dan fellover the side
: with Hugh tumbling after him. He tells them
: that he couldn't find Dan.

: Sounds good to me. What else did you have in
: mind?
:
: --Previous Message--
: Yeah, we could do that.
:

: Or maybe not even an entire scene, but more
: like a series of disconnected shots....then
: that might prove to be exceedingly difficult
: to write...lol

: If you like we could have a flash forward to
: a
: scene in a future case where one of them is
: in trouble or the other one is caring for
: the other, being the other is injured.

: Hmmm...no I think that about does it. Now
: are
: we doing more than one or just their
: childhood ones?

: Looks like we caught the french connection.
:
: Okay... Sounds good...

: Is there anything else you would like to add
: about the flash back?
