OMGGG, detective felis makes it Christmas for me yet again! <333 Thank you so much!
Speaking of which...
If Mildred is Holmes, you're clearly Poirot.
Ahaha, given the icon I've been using around these parts, I'll go with "AU!Holmes". ;)
Well, since I never got into Holmes but love Poirot, you can be Holmes and I'll be Poirot. Deal? :D
Aw, thanks! I have to say, I'm genuinely amazed that there's so much to find online in the first place! We are really lucky that way.
We are! I'm going to play my "I'm getting old" card and say that in MY day when I first got into 18th century history, in 1998-2001, there were no scanned books, no Google translate (Altavista Babelfish sucked), no Google maps, no Google drive, no Wikipedia, none of it! There was Brian Tompsett's royal genealogy site (which I'm sad was taken down recently), a forum where I managed to exchange messages with an actualfax adult historian (I was a high schooler, a fact which I was at pains to conceal) about the Jacobites, aaaand...that was most of the extent of my internet usage for historical research!
If there had to be a global pandemic during my lifetime, I'm glad it was after the internet took off.
