Arthur Conan Doyle
The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes
(Martin Laredo Publishers Sept. 7, 2017)
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
“Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting.”
“Never trust to general impressions, my boy, but concentrate yourself upon details.”
“As a rule, the more bizarre a thing is the less mysterious it proves to be. It is your commonplace, featureless crimes which are really puzzling, just as a commonplace face is the most difficult to identify.”
―
“Come, Watson, come!" he cried. The game is afoot.”
“To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen.... And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.”
