Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : Sometimes you must dangle your feet in the water in order to attract the sharks.

• 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.

• Sherlock Holmes : [as a police officer tries to stop him from walking through Scotland Yard]  Don't be ridiculous.

• Sherlock Holmes : The choice is always yours. Whatever society may claim, it can't control you.

• 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 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.

• Sherlock Holmes : Look for what's there, not what you want to be there.

• Sherlock Holmes : You're being emotional. It's understandable, but unnecessary.

• 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.

• Sherlock Holmes : Now, please put the teapot down. In your hands it is a mighty weapon.

  [Edith puts the teapot on the table] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Thank you.

• Sherlock Holmes : Enola.

  Mycroft Holmes : My God. Look at you. You're in such a mess.

• Enola Holmes : No! Please don't do this to me. Let me remain happy. I am happy here.

  Mycroft Holmes : You are a young woman now, Enola. You need an education.

  Enola Holmes : Test me on anything you think I need to know in order to be sufficient for this world.

  Mycroft Holmes : If she taught you so well you wouldn't be standing in your undergarments in front of me, would you? You have no hope of making a husband in your current state.

  Enola Holmes : I don't want a husband!

  Mycroft Holmes : And that is another thing you need to have educated out of you.

  [Enola kneels beside Sherlock] 

  Enola Holmes : Sherlock. Don't let him do this to me.

  Sherlock Holmes : You are his ward.

  Enola Holmes : Make me yours. Guide me. Teach me. For him, I am a nuisance. For you...

  Sherlock Holmes : Enola. I'm sorry. It's out of my hands.
