Description
“Confound it, girl! Look out!” He cried, slightly panicked and with reflexes he did not knew he still possessed, jumped and pulled her back to the sidewalk, just as a human cart was about to squash the child. The effort proved to be a bit too great for him though, for a moment later, both he and the girl he now held came tumbling down. "__________________________________

Overall
Vision
Originality
Technique
Impact
Vision: The view is of a wintry scene out on the edge of the pavement. Upon a first glance, one would assume that something bad happened, or almost happened, that makes them look the way they do. Both Basil and Olivia are all right, but are obviously interacting with one in another due to the incident they had just gone through. 5.0
Originality: Rescuing someone is nothing new, but here, this was done from a story that hasn't been done before, and for that I give it full marks. 5.0
Technique: I've always loved the effects of the title and chapter number as if they too were decorated for the scene. I feel like I'm out there on that street with the two, so she succeeded in putting her viewer right into the action. 5.0
Impact: Lots of anger is radiating off of Basil here while sorrow and confusion are coming from poor Olivia. I can't feel much warmth between the two because of their current emotions. However, there is also a feeling of protection coming from Basil. He has her in a strong grip, not wanting to see any harm come her way, and for that I adore their positions quite a bit. Even though he's not happy here, how he's holding her tells me she's in very good hands. 5.0

I read the whole fan fic and it is so lovely! I love the part where basil gave her the glass of milk and honey. It showed the fatherly side of basil, was a nice touch, and was soooo cute! adorbs

I had to critique this one, but I just noticed Olivia's eye is teardrop-shaped, almost like a Precious Moments little girl. Poor thing looks so sad in Basil's arms. You can't blame him for being angry, but at least she's safe with him. This is a favorite of mine too, I can agree with you on that!

And I love you for it!
You always leave the best critiques - and I thank you for it so very much!
But still, isn't it a bit ironic how the safest place for her to be right now is right in the hands of the "coldest" mouse in all of London? Fate has a very strange sense of humor in my stories, it seems.

You're welcome!
Aww, I try and say whatever comes to mind! True, Basil can have a very cold layer on the outside, but inside, he's a warm and caring mouse! If he were too cold with no warmth within, Olivia would sense it and not want to go near him. She picks up on him having a soft side, he just prefers to keep that part hidden as much as he can!

Thank you so much
"Little big sad puppy-dog eyes" are always hard to get... but Olivia is a pro at that so I bet be practicing if I'll ever hope to get her in character

Aw! Olivia looks so adorable in this. I must her! And Basil...
so priceless. I loved when she said that she was fast enough to get what was left of Basil's cane. Which I still cannot picture in my mind.
This whole chapter made me laugh when it came to the interaction between those two. It was too cute. I can understand why you like this one too much. It's too precious!

Nether could Basil as a matter of fact And it's not like he's one to lack imagination
Seems I have quite a twisted sense of humor, no?

just finished reading this chapter. The irony of how fate works. Had to laugh when Olivia started bawling when Basil asked for his cane.

Yes - Fate is a cruel mistress... one which I never wish to anger.
And as for the record, I loves writing that part

I'm just in love with Olivia's face. She seems a bit of confused and concerned, while Basil looks so pissed... I wonder why. XD
Lovely!
