Only a woman. Only a woman? That's a bit of an insult! Or am I being too sensitive?
Too sensitive.

It doesn't mean all women would ask that.
Stop looking and observe.

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?
