Illyria stared into the mist.  “The view is spectacular.”

“Brings back memories,” Spike said.

“Oh?  Good ones, I hope.”

“Not hardly.  Lost a colleague last time I was here – hundred and eighteen years ago today – and the bloody git who staked him escaped.”

“Escaped?  From you?”

“James stationed me ‘way the Hell up there.”  Spike waved toward the clifftop behind them. “Git scarpered before I could get down.”

Illyria frowned.  “That sounds . . . familiar.  Have you told the story before?”

Spike snorted.  “No – bloody Conan Doyle did.  Got it all wrong, mind.”

“I see,” Illyria said, still admiring the Reichenbach Falls.
