“Madam is mistaken.  Our milk is as it comes from the cows.  It is of the highest quality.”

“Your milk is watered down.”

“We never do this.”

“You stop at the canal and fill a bucket with water which you then add to your milk.”

“No we don’t.”

“So how else do you account for the trout in the milk?”

Uh, oh! What a fun little take on an odd line! :)

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

I had to look up the origin of the line because it seemed so strange and yet it clearly meant something to Holmes.

Interesting! I wondered what that line meant...

[thesmallhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seemed such a strange thing for Holmes to say, that I had to look into it.
