Mary Poppins: Other: Day Trip
While she had all the symptoms, Mary would not admit to being driven to distraction while she worked out just what she and Sherlock should do for their promised day trip. It was not daydreaming and it certainly was not just fanciful imagining of just what sort of adventures they could have. With children, the air was thick with magic and all the world was just teeming with adventures to be had. But Sherlock had been so sweet with all of his attention and enthusiasm with the chemistry set, and she wanted to do something really special for him.
Besides, he was oh-so-serious and mature. There was a bit of mischievous appeal in the chance to see him off-kilter and showing him something really new.
After the fresh-fallen snow in the city park, Mary knew just what she was going to do. Sure enough, a day later there was an igloo in the park made by mittened hands and an afternoon of perfect pleasure. It's a truth that, where there are children and clean, soft snow, eventually, there would be igloos. The spirit of adventure that led ot endless treehouses and pillow forts on rainy days left Margate a perfectly lopsided but lovingly made igloo.
It would suit what Mary had in mind perfectly.
She had left him a note to meet her that afternoon in the park and to bring only himself.
Maybe he wouldn't come. Maybe he had a case to find or an experiment to watch, and he wouldn't be able to get away. But Mary believed he'd be here, so she sat on the park bench with her fingers curled into her lap and watched the clouds swirling overhead.
[Mostly for Holmes, but before they go on their day trip, anyone can find her hanging out on the park bench.]
