Sherlock Holmes

Well, what do you say, Mr. Sherlock Holmes?

An interesting subject for research.

I'll concede that Ignatius Donnelly and others have proved almost beyond doubt that William Shakespeare of Stratford-on-Avon did not write the plays, but I greatly doubt that Lord Bacon did.

I may devote my leisure and later years to some investigation on the subject, but in the meanwhile, Mr. Grotem, I'm afraid I'm much too busy to undertake such an assignment.

Thank you, Miss Farrison, but as I told your uncle, I'm a busy man.

Good evening to you.

Goodbye.

Then am I to assume that I must continue the case alone?

He's in desperate danger.

What?

I'm only afraid I may be too late to save him.

But we have just spoken to the man.

Oh, no.

Did neither of you notice the traces of fresh loam on the boots of that supposedly paralyzed man?

Gentlemen, I fear the agony column has led us to murder.

As Holmes said... Gentlemen, I fear the agony column has led us to murder.

There was fresh earth on the soles of his boots, you say?

Distinct traces.

Proving that the man in the wheelchair was not paralyzed.

And the real Quilter may have been killed, eh?
