I have never been very fond of snakes and our latest nocturnal adventures have not endeared them to me either.  I am not alone in my dislike, Holmes relating of the tale caused the housemaid to break two more teacups.  Dr Roylott should have chosen to bring home a mongoose instead.  Which reminds me, I am meeting Inspector Lestrade tomorrow.

We would never accuse the snake of being a bad fellow. However the doctor was suddenly confronted by something he wasn't fond of and his reaction is understandable.

Mrs Hudson is not fond of Mr Holmes trailing muddy footmarks up the stairs, and her reaction when he suddenly appeared in front of her dripping all over the carpet was rather more extreme.
