The Empty House

[prof_pangaea]

Holmes: "My next call was on the admirable Mrs. Hudson."
Watson: [incredulous] "With no warning? You just walked up and rang the doorbell?"
Holmes: "Ah... yes, I'm afraid I did. And in answer to your next question: Violent Hysterics."
Watson: "She, ah, *ahem*, she didn't faint, then?"
Holmes: "She does have remarkable self-control. For a woman."

Lestrade: [warmly] "It's been a pleasure to work with you again, Mr. Holmes."
Holmes: "Thank you Lestrade. Somewhat to my surprise I have to say that the pleasure has been mutual."

Holmes: *chuckles softly*
Watson: "Holmes?"
Holmes: "I was just recalling the first time we stood here together.
Watson: "Yes, the well-remembered door."
Holmes: "A Scandal in Bohemia."
Watson: "I thought you didn't bother with 'worthless rubbish'."
Holmes: [softly] "Mm. Quite right, quite right."
