Several female parts, including the key Mrs. Hilda Courtney, but none of them speak to each other at any point.

Hilda talks to Evelyn Clifford at her gift shop, ostensibly to buy a gift for her daughter, but really to acquire a music box that Evelyn has bought at auction, as part of Hilda's criminal scheme. A man is only mentioned at the end, as Sherlock Holmes has already purchased the box.
