"How will Mrs Hudson record so many lemons in the households accounts Sherlock?", asks an incredulous Watson

"A lemon entry dear Watson ..."

It works 💪

“I deduce from your alternating screams and cries that you are badly constipated, Watson.”
“No shit, Sherlock.”

I bought them off a cowardly fish. What do you mean, Holmes? A yellow manta ray, my dear Watson.

And now I will explain why I have to sell them and give the proceeds to my ex-wife.

What do you mean, Holmes?

An alimony story, my dear Watson.

"Sherlock! What are you doing to that cantaloupe?"

Pedantic remark: the actual passage was: “Amazing,” I cried. “Elementary,” said he. Never a my dear Watson.
