Sherlock Holmes: Sometimes you must dangle your feet in the water in order to attract the sharks.
Eudoria Holmes: Try to be excited, not disappointed at the possibilities of something new.
Edith: You haven't any hope of understanding any of this. You do know that?
Sherlock Holmes: Educate me as to why.
Edith: Because you don't know what it is to be without power. Politics doesn't interest you. Why?
Sherlock Holmes: Because it's fatally boring.
Edith: Because you have no
interest in changing a world that suits you so well.
Enola Holmes: Why did you never write?
Sherlock Holmes: Would you have cared for my letters?
Enola Holmes: I have kept every clipping of every case of yours I could ever find.
Sherlock Holmes: That's flattering.
Enola Holmes: And, yet, it took our mother's disappearance to bring you
home.
Enola Holmes: She was not an ordinary mother. She didn't teach me to string seashells or practice my embroidery. We did different things. Reading, science, sports, all sorts of exercise - both physical and mental. Mother said we were free to do anything at Ferndell... and be anyone.
Enola Holmes: She wouldn't like you in here. This is her private space.
Sherlock Holmes: Tell me, she at least saw that you had an education? She valued education.
Enola Holmes: She taught me herself. She made me read every book in Ferndell Hall's library. Shakespeare, Locke, and the encyclopedia, and Thackeray, and the essays of
Mary Wollstonecraft. And I did it on my own account. For my own learning. Which, Mother said, was the best way to become a young... woman.
Eudoria Holmes: Paint your own picture, Enola. Don't be thrown off course by other people. Especially men!
Enola Holmes: You tickle me, Viscount Tewkesbury, you magnificent marquess of blooming Basilwether. You're a cleverer boy than I perhaps gave you credit for.
Sherlock Holmes: You know, last I remember of you, you were quite a timid little thing. You had a pine cone wrapped in wool, dragged it with you everywhere you went - calling it Dash. Someone told you that Queen Victoria had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Dash, and you decided you wanted the same. We could never persuade you to put any trousers on. Your bottom was always
bare. I think that's all the memories I have.
Enola Holmes: Thank you. If you could now forget them all.
Enola Holmes: I've come here because I've grown to like you more in your absence and because, as it turns out, your life is still in danger.
Tewkesbury: What has made you like me more?
[Tewkesbury picks up a flower from his stall]
Enola Holmes: Really? That is your question? Not 'who is trying to kill me'?
[Tewkesbury
hands a flower to Enola]
