Mrs Hudson answered the knock on the door, rolling pin in hand and a furious expression on her face.

“I’m sorry to trouble you, madam,” the constable said.  “We’ve had a report that one of those Suffragette women came in here.”

“Do I look like someone who would allow such a person entrance?” Mrs Hudson demanded.

“No, madam.  I’ll leave you to your baking.”

Mrs Hudson returned to her kitchen.  “It’s all right, Violet,” she said, “he’s gone.  Another constable who hasn’t learnt that appearances can be deceptive.  But I suggest you leave by the back door to be safe.”

Yay for Mrs. Hudson!

And lol at the constable who not only doesn't realize appearances can be deceiving but also expects a woman who roomed Sherlock Holmes for years would be of a terribly "respectable" persuasion ;)
