QUOTES FROM Geraldine James CHARACTERS
Sherlock Holmes says: 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.
Mrs. Hudson says: Tea, Mr. Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes says: Is it poisoned, Nanny?
Mrs. Hudson says: There's enough of that in you already.
Mrs. Hudson says: [turning to Dr. John Watson] Doctor, you must get him to a sanitorium! For the past month, he's taken nothing but coffee, tobacco, and cocoa leaves. He never sleeps! I hear multiple voices, as if he's rehearsing a play.
Sherlock Holmes says: Don't you have a goat that needs worming?
Mrs. Hudson says: Ah, yes. Such fun. What would I do without you?
Sherlock Holmes says: Why are you here?
Dr. John Watson says: I'm getting married. Tomorrow.
Sherlock Holmes says: Ah! Embrace me!
