The cab draws up in front of 221B. The front door opens
and MRS. HUDSON, a plump, motherly woman in her fifties,
wearing an apron, hurries down the steps. She greets
Holmes and Watson warmly as they alight. The cabbie starts to unload their luggage. As Holmes,
Watson and Mrs. Hudson proceed inside, CAMERA TRAVELS UP
THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING, past the number 221B, to the
bay window on the second floor.
MRS. HUDSON: I do wish you’d give me a little more
warning when you come home unexpected. I
would have roasted a goose – and had
some flowers for you.
HOLMES: My dear Mrs. Hudson – criminals are as
unpredictable as head-colds. You never
quite know when you’re going to catch
one.
(later)
WATSON: Blame it on the illustrator.
Please let me breathe
