โฆ Synopsis
One frosty winter morning, deep in the vaults of Cox & Co. at Charing Cross, a battered biscuit tin is discovered ... Inside are the diaries of that longsuffering resident of 221b Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes' landlady, the unflappable Mrs Hudson. She presents her portrait of life with the great detective and his ever-faithful companion with relish, mustard and no small amount of dropped eaves. Mysterious visitors, disappearances, shouts and bangs -- life below stairs at 221b is often silly, slapstick and sentimental in equal measure. These diaries offer an affectionate and hilarious sketch of a remarkably enterprising Victorian female.;Cover; Title Page; Dedication; Contents; Acknowledgements; Preface; Mrs Hudson's biography by Oliver Philpott; I: The very worst tenant in London 1881-90; 1881; Philpott's photo corner; 1882; 1883; 1884; 1885; 1886; 1887; 1888; 1889; 1890; II: Mrs Hudson's hiatus 1891-94; 1891; Mrs Hudson's hiatus by Oliver Philpott; III: The landlady returns 1894-1903; 1894; 1895; 1896; 1897; 1898; 1899; 1900; 1901; 1902; 1903; IV: Life after Holmes 1904-11; 1904; 1906; 1907; 1910; V: The east wind comes 1912-14; 1912; 1914; Index; Advertisement; Copyright.
