Writing Prompt: Words, words, words

Making notes on manuscriptI was re-watching Sherlock episode The Blind Banker a few days ago (what else can a fan do while still waiting for Season 3?), so I thought we’d have another go using the prompt Sherlock’s Word Hunt. This time, the book in question is the quirky and delightful The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. (The ninth word on page 70 was actually ‘the’ so I went with the next word instead.)

Here are your three words; use them in a scene, poem, or story.

  • affairs
  • one
  • validity
