Summary: There’s only so many uninvited and unannounced visitors a landlady can take.

***

When the cab-driver broke the window I called it an accident.

When the squire strode up the stairs and bent my good poker I took it for mere coincidence.

Stampeding brats, frightened fugitives, hired louts have changed my mind.

When the professor fainted on the bearskin I had my own two hired louts drag him away over Mr. Holmes’ protestations.

Love that title ^__^

And I don't know why that final image amuses me so much ^___^ Good on you, Mrs. Hudson. Poor Dr. Huxtable though ^___^

Crisis, schmisis. Some people still believe in STANDARDS, thank you.

Christ, the fact she has her own 'bouncers' is sort of horrible and hilarious. And triple kudos for the pun in the title.

If I had the kind of visitors to my lodging that Mr. Holmes attracts, I'd get some hired muscle too.

There is indeed only so much a landlady can put up with.

There are protocols to follow, Dr. Huxtable, crisis or no, or this empire will fall.

That...I would love to have witnessed:-)

I can see Holmes following the muscly louts down the stairs, trying in vain to raise an objection.

Good for you, Mrs Hudson.

SOME people need to learn to respect entryway protocol.
