Thanks for your thoughts, radiogaga80, very helpful.
So the call about Mrs Hudson was set up by Sherlock, rather than by Moriarty... I didn't know the canon reference, but that makes things clearer.
I'm not entirely convinced that Holmes really does care about people under the gruff exterior (that seems a bit of a cliche to me). But I guess those who are more familiar with the canon can say if it is indeed the case, regardless of my preferences.
And yes, I am indeed the Alys Scarlet who used to run the Ray Winstone website. In fact, it's still online, preserved in aspic, but I don't have time to update it any more. :-)
