• [last lines] 

  Dr. Watson : You have helped a remarkable woman, Holmes. And a formidable man.

  Sherlock Holmes : And if, as seems not unlikely, they should join forces?

  Dr. Watson : Naturally I would wish them well.

  Sherlock Holmes : Hmph. Magnanimous of you, Watson.

• Sherlock Holmes : It is a thankless business, Watson. I can discover facts, but I cannot change them.

• Sherlock Holmes : There is little to share, but we'll discuss it after you've consumed those two hard-boiled eggs with which our temporary cook has favoured us. Their condition may not be unconnected with the copy of 'The Family Herald' which I observed yesterday on the hall table. Even so trivial a matter as cooking an egg demands an attention which is incompatible with the love romance in that excellent periodical.

• Sherlock Holmes : I must confess that the case would seem to be a very black one against her if it were not for one thing.

  Dr. Watson : What is that?

  Sherlock Holmes : The finding of the pistol in her wardrobe.

  Dr. Watson : That seems to be the most damning incident of all.

• Sherlock Holmes : I'm falling into your involved habit of telling a story backward.
