She was the screenwriter for A Room with a View and Howards End, among many others. One thing that I didn't know before was that, of the celebrated producers of both films, Ismael Merchant and James Ivory, neither was a Brit. Merchant was born in India and Ivory was an American. Fancy that!

Oh, dear! She just had a story published in The New Yorker. :(

There is hope: Series 3 of Sherlock is filming! http://cultfix.co.uk/sherlock-filming-pics-the-empty-hearse-22068.htm
Jeff Wrangler:
I was reminded last night of all the Sherlock Holmes incarnations. I was watching a show where a woman who was suspected of witchcraft demonstrated that things she knew about people that she could not possibly know came from her "powers" of observation: She could tell that someone worked at shearing sheep from the condition of his hands, and because "he reeks of mutton." ;D (She was also an accomplished herbalist.)
Front-Ranger:
Personally, I would say he "reeks of lanolin". Mutton doesn't smell really until after it's butchered.

They probably meant to imply that he smelled like a sheep, but I just quoted the dialog as it was.
