Problems that aren't important...
What is it about having four characters in a scene that makes it so much harder than three? Three is fine. Three is good. Everyone gets to talk and no one is left out. But you add in just one more person and all of it a sudden it's "where's ____? He was here a few paragraphs ago? Did he wander off again? I told you to use the buddy system. ___? You get back here this instant, mister, or I swear to God I will turn this whole story right around and we're all going home! No one will get a plotline!"
Sigh.
Sigh.

At the moment I've fudged a little by having Poirot and Sherlock arguing in French, so John and Hatings can't understand them, so I don't need to worry about them joining in the conversation. Also keeping both pairs across the room from each other so the other can't hear what they're saying. I'm also having Lestrade guide the convo a little by purposely asking what everyone thinks. One day they will all need to speak though, and on that day I will cry softly into my keyboard....

Haha! Instilling a language barrier! That's actually a rather brilliant loophole.
My ability to cheat knows no bounds. But I figured that Sherlock's thought processes would be 'I deduce this man is Belgian, it is a statistical likelihood that he speaks French, I will speak in French to him', only really fast because he's Sherlock and his brain works quicker than crazy glue.

Dude, that is a brilliant invention. Fangirl Tear Gutters. I'm calling up the Home Shopping Network as we speak...
