The Master Blackmailer fic
I've just seen The Master Blackmailer with Jeremy Brett and Edward Hardwicke. I rather liked what they did with the Charles Augustus Milverton story.
After Lady Swinstead kills Milverton, Holmes picked up something from the floor that must have been left behind by her.
I found myself wondering what Lady Swinstead did after offing Milverton. Did she jump at every knock on the door expecting Scotland Yard? Especially if she later realized that she'd left something behind at the crime scene? Or did she await their arrival calmly and find herself surprised that they never showed up?
Did Holmes return the item to her or let her know it had been destroyed?
Also, Aggie... (was that the name of the servant girl to whom Holmes/Escott the plumber was engaged?) I had this wild image of Aggie attempting to sue Holmes/Escott for breach of promise. (I want to say I remember that a woman could sue for breach of promise if her fiancee broke off the engagement.)
And I rather liked Aggie. I thought she'd make a *goood* wife for Holmes. (People were generally expected to get married back then.) What happened to her after Milverton's death? Could she go back to 'the rival' after Escott?
Did Lottie view choosing Colonel Dorking as a fiancee a mistake? Or breaking off the engagement as a mistake? Or not noticing her fiancee had liked men as a mistake?
What happens to Lillie in a year's time when she's out on the street, now that she's betrayed Lady Eva's trust?
So I'm looking for any fic about the characters after Milverton's death. Lottie, Lady Swinstead, Lillie and Aggie preferred. (I will also take Lady Eva fic.)
Thanks in advance.
