Quotes
-
Mrs. Hudson : And I noticed you published another of your stories, Dr. Watson.
Dr. John Watson : Yes. Did you enjoy it?
Mrs. Hudson : No.
Dr. John Watson : Oh?
Mrs. Hudson : I never enjoy them.
Dr. John Watson : Why not?
Mrs. Hudson : Well, I never say anything do I? According to you, I just show people up the stairs and serve you breakfast.
Dr. John Watson : Well, within the narrative, that is, broadly speaking, your function.
Mrs. Hudson : My *what*?
Sherlock Holmes : Don't feel singled out, Mrs Hudson. I'm hardly in the dog one.
Dr. John Watson : The dog one?
Mrs. Hudson : I'm your landlady, not a plot device.
Dr. John Watson : D'you mean 'The Hound of the Baskervilles'?
-
Dr. John Watson : Good Lord.
Sherlock Holmes : [shouting to Mrs. Hudson who is downstairs] Mrs Hudson, there is a woman in my sitting room. Is it intentional?
Mrs. Hudson : [replying from downstairs] She's a client, said you were out, insisted on waiting.
Dr. John Watson : Would you, uh... care to sit down?
Sherlock Holmes : Didn't you ask her what she wanted?
Mrs. Hudson : You ask her!
Sherlock Holmes : Why didn't YOU ask her?
Mrs. Hudson : How could I, what with me not talking and everything?
Sherlock Holmes : Oh.
Sherlock Holmes : [to Dr. Watson] For god's sake, give her some lines, she's perfectly capable of starving us.
-
DI Lestrade : [talking about Sherlock] He said, "There's only one suspect," and then he just walks away and now he won't explain.
Mrs. Hudson : Which is strange, because he likes that bit.
DI Lestrade : Said it's so simple I could solve it.
Mrs. Hudson : I'm sure he was exaggerating.
-
Mrs. Hudson : And you make the rooms so drab and dingy.
Dr. John Watson : Oh, blame it on the illustrator. He's out of control. I've had to grow this moustache just so that people would recognize me.
-
Mrs. Hudson : Mr. Holmes. I do wish you'd let me know when you're planning to come home.
Sherlock Holmes : I hardly knew myself Mrs. Hudson. That's the trouble with dismembered country squires. They're notoriously difficult to schedule.

[Sherlock has been sitting on the floor not moving for two days]
DI Lestrade : What's he doing, do you think?
Mrs. Hudson : He says he's waiting.
DI Lestrade : For what?
Mrs. Hudson : The devil. I wouldn't be surprised. We get all sorts here.
-
DI Lestrade : There's still reporters outside.
Mrs. Hudson : They've been there all the time. I can't get rid of them. I've been rushed off my feet making tea.
DI Lestrade : Why do you make them tea?
Mrs. Hudson : I don't know. I just sort of do.
