My bff sent me this on the first when they found a Five Orange Pips illustration-

Absolutely obsessed with learning that a ‘pip’ is ‘an easily countable handful of items’. Like seeds in an orange or dots on dominoes and dice. I think its such a cheerful word!! may you all have a handful of good things today

lmao this is so funny, esp since I can totally picture holmes being like “please ask me about the time with the woman. I want to talk about her So Much she’s so cool— Oh. you want to talk about your own thing :( okay”

Just look at how much fury Holmes suporesses when he hears of the fate of John Openshaw

(Link along with the image)

Only just realised the god damn orange-yeet moment is on the cover of my copy of random Holmes stories from 1902.

Ironically, the title of the collection is “Five orange pips” 🍊
