Mrs. Hudson. I won't go in, not while he's got a gun in his hand. You don't have to. Give me the paper. What'll I do when you leave, doctor? He'll have the whole house down. He just needs another case. That's all. Couldn't you have a longer engagement? I smell gunpowder. It's not right, you know, not in a domestic environment.

A Mr. Lewis is seeking... There's only one case that intrigues me at present: The curious case of Mrs. Hudson, the absentee landlady. I've been studying her comings and goings. They appear most sinister. Tea, Mr. Holmes? Is it poisoned, nanny? There's enough of that in you already. Don't touch. Everything is in its proper place... as per usual, nanny.

Holmes, as your doctor... - He'll be as right as a trivet in no time. - As your friend... you've been in this room for 2 weeks. I insist, you have to get out. There's nothing of interest for me out there, on earth, at all. - You're free this evening? - Absolutely. - Dinner? The Royale? - Wonderful. My favorite. Mary's coming. - Not available. - You're meeting her, Holmes. Have you proposed yet? - No, I haven't found the right ring. - Then it's not official. It's happening, whether you like it or not. 8:30, the Royale. Wear a jacket. You wear a jacket.
