‘Dr Watson, I’m not sure I can do this—‘

‘It’s all right Mrs Hudson. It is simple sewing and you’re an excellent seamstress. I’ll talk you through each step of the way.’

‘Are you sure you cannot—‘

‘Not left-handed, no. Just make sure— Ow!

‘This is a horrible idea. I’ve made it worse.’

‘You’re doing fine… just make sure… you get… all the shards out… first…’

‘Doctor! Stay with me!’

mMmm fine… bleeding’s slowed… Now you must… hhnnnng

‘Wait! What’s next?! Don’t you dare faint!’

Srrry… load my revolver… and shoot… whoever comes… to break... down the door…’

A landlady's job is never done!
There's an increase in the rent coming.
Thanks!

If only she'd known when she took on her two lodgers!

For better or for worse, Mrs Hudson is in the thick of it now. I think she admires her lodgers very much.
Thanks!

Yikes! Let's just hope it won't be Holmes breaking down the door looking for Watson!

Thanks!

This sounds ominous...hope either Holmes or Scotland Yarders won't be long in coming to their aid!

Holmes has a key, and Scotland Yard will identify themselves... or else there will be a BIG problem!
Thanks!

Mrs Hudson might protest, but I have a feeling she likes a bit of excitement. Of course, she is also very devoted to her lodgers.
Thanks!
