Funnily enough, book Sherlock would have been quite pleased with Enola's Marriage and would have never told her off for turning into a lady because that had always essentially been what he had wanted her to be. Marry a lord? How fortunate! Exactly what he'd wanted for her.
Sherlock Holmes is no feminist and would have been very satisfied with Enola both not being alone (and therefore safer) and her being easier to find (and her finally acting like a lady and doing what a reasonable woman of good upbringing is made to do.)
He had wanted to lock her in a boarding school, had wanted her to be taught how to be a lady and had definitely not wanted her to follow in his footsteps. Funny how the movie kind of showed the opposite of all that.
Oh also, Enola would have NEVER, never walked away from her mother. She would have been over the moon for seeing her, she wouldn't walk away because she was "absent for far too long". She would be conflicted, her feelings would be complicated. But she wouldn't turn away.
