Quotes
-
Enola Holmes : When looking to travel incognito, it's safest to travel as a widow. People are always anxious to avoid conversation about death. Widows scare them. And there's no better disguise than fear.
-
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]
-
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 : 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.
-
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 don't need friends. I have my own company.

Enola Holmes : Now, where to begin? The first thing you need to know is that my mother named me Enola.
-
The Dowager : England's true glory is what is. Do you see?
[Enola looks around at the forest in awe]
Enola Holmes : I can see much beauty.
The Dowager : Very sensible answer.
-
Enola Holmes : I don't know what she wanted me to be.
-
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.
-
Enola Holmes : And yet, facts don't destract from hope.
