Sherlock Holmes

But there is my wife at home.

I must think of her naturally.

You're thinking of her a trifle late, aren't you, old man?

So you can see there might be unpleasant results if Rufu were to... Rufu of Maximus?

You know her?

We're not unacquainted with a young person, eh, Holmes?

From my rather brief acquaintance with her, I think the matter may be settled rather simply.

Ah, I shall be happy if you will handle the affair.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please?

The Seadwenco, whom we're all very happy to welcome here this evening, will now give us the pleasure of his incomparable music.

Oh, papa.

I say, Holmes, did you notice that girl who just passed, the one wearing just those little, little thingamajigs?

Quite.

I also noticed, Watson, that backstage at Maxim seems to be one place where you not only see, but also observe very closely.

Good evening.

Oh, I'm afraid not, Mademoiselle.

Mademoiselle Foufou, it was only because I thought the gentleman we have agreed to refer to as Mr. Edwards was at least as culpable as you that I persuaded the French police not to prosecute you in that matter of his mother's jewels.

The charge is still pending, mademoiselle, and that a word from me could be followed up.

I also happen to know that the Marsovian embassy is most curious regarding the attraction which brings Prince Danilo so frequently to Paris.

That also does not concern me at the moment.
