ENGR - Turns

Habit is a strange thing. It used to be that when a client would rouse Mrs. Hudson, she retorted on me, and I in my turn woke Watson.

Now he lives apart, a married man. But no sooner had a patient roused him with a strange tale, than he bundled the man into a cab and came to rouse me.

Nice little Speckled Band reference! Love it. Made me think of Granada's nifty version (http://fuckyeahgranadaholmes.tumblr.com/post/34507490325/mrs-hudson-has-been-roused-she-retorted-on-me) of that scene.

I couldn't resist the reference, although Holmes was already awake when Watson arrived. (And hey, great GIF!)

Thank you!
