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.
Edith: If you want to stay in London, be tough... be tough! Live the life. But don't do it because you're looking for someone. Do it because you're looking for yourself.
Sherlock Holmes: Sometimes you must dangle your feet in the water in order to attract the sharks.
