THE BULBOURS HEADED 'PENANG-LAWYER' IS GENERALLY THE MOST POPULAR 

STICK WITH COUNTRY DOCTORS-

*** Page 7 ***

IT MAY BE THAT YOU ARE NOT YOURSELF LUMINOUS, BUT YOU ARE A CONDUCTOR 

OF LIGHT

*** Page 7 ***

SOME PEOPLE WITHOUT PROCESSING GENIUS HAVE A REMARKABLE POWER OF 

STIMULATING IT.

*** Page 9 ***

IT WAS THE DRAMATIC MOMENT OF FATE, WHEN YOU HEAR A STEP UPON THE STAIR 

WHICH IS WALKING INTO YOUR LIFE AND YOU KNOW NOT WHETHER FOR GOOD OR ILL.

*** Page 10 ***

"A PICKER UP OF SHELLS ON THE SHORE OF THE GREAT UNKNOWN OCEAN", I 

THINK HE SAID.

*** Page 11 ***

HE WAS OBVIOUSLY ACQUAINTED WITH THE VERY LATEST PARIS PAPERS ON 

SYSTEMS OF CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION 

*** Page 12 ***

IT WOULD BE A POOR EXPERT WHO COULD NOT GIVE THE DATE OF A DOCUMENT 

WITHIN A DECADE OT SO. YOU MAY POSSIBLY HAVE READ MY MANUSCRIPT UPON 

THE SUBJECT

*** Page 14 ***

THIS WAS OBVIOUSLY A CASE WHICH PRESENTED SOME FEATURES OF INTEREST.  

I HAD OBSERVED SOME NEWSPAPER COMMENT AT THE TIME, BIT I WAS 

EXCEEDINGLY PREOCUPIED BY THAT LITTLE AFFAIR OF THE VATICAN CAMEOS, AND 

IN MY ANXIETY TO OBLIGE THE POPE I LOST TOUCH WITH SEVERAL INTERESTING

ENGLISH CASES.


*** Page 52 ***


I HAVE HITHERTO CONFINED MY INVESTIGATIONS TO THIS WORLD. IN A 

MODEST WAY I HAVE COMBATED EVIL, BUT TO TAKE ON THE FATHER OF EVIL 

HIMSELF SEEMED TOO AMBITIOUS A TASK


*** Page 54 ***


A DEVIL WITH PURELY LOCAL POWERS LIKE A PARISH REGISTRY, WOULD BE 

TOO INCONCEIVABLE A THING

*** Page 54 ***

SECLUSION AND SOLITUDE ARE VERY NECESSARY IN THOSE HOURS OF INTENSE 

CONCENTRATION WHEN I MUST WEIGH EVERY PARTICLE OF EVIDENCE, CONSTRUCT 

ALTERNATIVE THEORIES, BALANCE ONE AGAINST THE OTHER, AND MAKE UP MY 

MIND AS TO WHICH POINTS ARE ESSENTIAL AND WHICH IMMATERIAL

*** Page 54 ***

THERE IS A DELIGHTFUL FRESHNESS ABOUT YOU , WATSON WHICH MAKES IT A 

PLEASURE TO EXERCISE ANY SMALL POWERS WHICH I POSSESS AT YOUR EXPENSE

*** Page 55 ***

THE WORLD IS FULL OF OBVIOUS THINGS WHICH NOBODY BY ANY CHANCE OBSERVES.

*** Page 55 ***

EDWARD STAMFORD, OF COURSE. STAMFORD WAS YOUR FRIEND WHO INTRODUCED US

*** Page 55 ***

THE DEVIL'S AGENTS MAY BE OF FLESH AND BLOOD

OR WARNING HIM OF THE DANGER

*** Page 15 ***

THROUGH THE SUPRA-ORBITAL CREST, THE FACIAL ANGLE, THE MAXILLARY CURVE

*** Page 17 ***

SIR HENRY WAS RIGHT TO BRING THIS "TRIFLE" TO MY ATTENTION. I HAD ASKED 

FOR ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE ORDINARY ROUTINE, HOWEVER FOOLISH THE INCIDENT 

MAY SEEM

*** Page 18 ***

IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE FIERY TEMPER OF THE BASKERVILLES WAS NOT EXTINCT 

IN THIS THEIR LAST REPRESENTATIVE

*** Page 19 ***

WATSON, WATSON, IF YOU AN HONEST MAN, YOU WILL RECORD THIS ALSO AND

SET IT AGAINST MY SUCCESS.

*** Page 20 ***

THOUGH I HAD NOT THEN MADE UP MY MIND WHETHER IT WAS A BENEVOLENT OR A 

MALEVOLENT AGENCY WHICH WAS IN TOUCH WITH US, I WAS CONCIOUS, CONCIOUS 

ALWAYS OF POWER AND DESIGN

*** Page 20 ***

THE LAD HAD SHOWN MORE ABILITY DURING THAT INVESTIGATION

*** Page 29 ***

A STAKE FOR WHICH A MAN MIGHT WELL PLAY A DESPERATE GAME

*** Page 30 ***

AT THAT INSTANT, ONE OF THE MOST REVERED NAMES IN ENGLAND WAS BEING 

BESMIRCHED BY A BLACKMAILER AND ONLY I COULD STOP A DISASTROUS SCANDEL

*** Page 31 ***

WOULD THAT ALL OUR DIFFICULTIES VANISH SO EASILY 

*** Page 32 ***

THERE IS NOTHING MORE STIULATING THAN A CASE WHERE EVERYTHING GOES 

AGAINST YOU

*** Page 32 ***

JOHN CLAYTON, 3 TURPEY STREET, THE BOROUGH, CAB OUT OF SHIPLEY'S YARD 

NEAR WATERLOO STATION

*** Page 33 ***

A TOUCH, WATSON, AN UNDENIABLE TOUCH! I FELT A FOIL AS QUICK AND SUPPLE 

AS MY OWN

*** Page 34 ***

THIS TIME WE HAD GOT A FOEMAN WHO WAS WORTHY OF OUR STEEL

*** Sep29 ********************************************************************

*** Page 01 ***

I DID NOT WISH TO BIAS YOUR MIND BY SUGGESTING MY OWN THEORIES ON SUSPICIONS

*** Page 3 ***

MORTIMER WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT SIR CHARLES'S HEAD WAS OF A VERY RARE 

TYPE - HALF GAELIC, HALF IVERNIAN

*** Page 6 ***

ON ACCOUNT OF THE PECULIAR FEROCITY OF THE CRIME AND THE WANTON BRUTALITY 

WHICH HAD MARKED ALL THE ACTIONS OF THE ASSASIN.

*** Sep30 ********************************************************************

*** Page 2 ***

THE CABMAN HAD DESCRIBED A SOMEWHAT SHORTER MAN, BUT SUCH AN IMPRESSION 

MIGHT EASILY HAVE BEEN ERRONEOUS

*** Oct13 ********************************************************************

*** Page 12 ***

I CONGRATULATE YOU AGAIN, MY DEAR WATSON. YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT ME AS AN 

AGENT. I NEVER REGRETTED THE CONFIDENCE WHICH I SHOWED IN YOU WHEN I SENT 

YOU DOWN TO DEVONSHIRE

*** Page 16 ***

YOU FACED, INDEED, THAT HOUR OF DARKNESS IN WHICH THE POWER OF EVIL IS 

EXALTED

*** Oct17 ********************************************************************

*** Page 3 ***

YOU HAVE NOT LIVED FOR YEARS WITH ME FOR NOTHING

*** Oct18 ********************************************************************

*** Page 9 ***

FRANKLAND V.  MORLAND COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.  COST FRANKLAND 200,

BUT HE GOT HIS VERDICT

*** Page 10 ***

HE INTENDED THAT THE CASE OF FRANKLAND V. REGINA SHOULD BRING THE MATTER 

BEFORE THE ATTENTION OF THE PUBLIC

*** Page 19 ***

I FEAR, WATSON THAT I COULD NOT UNDERTAKE TO RECOGNISE YOUR FOOTPRINT AMID 

ALL THE FOOTPRINTS OF THE WORLD. IF YOU SERIOUSLY DESIRE TO DECEIVE ME, 

YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR TOBACCONIST

*** Page 19 ***

HAD YOU KNOWN, YOU WOULD HAVE WISHED TO TELL ME SOMETHING, OR IN YOUR 

KINDNESS YOU WOULD HAVE BROUGHT ME OUT SOME COMFORT OR OTHER, AND SO AN 

UNNECESSARY RISK WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN

*** Page 27 ***

IT WAS THE GREATEST BLOW WHICH HAD BEFALLEN ME IN MY CAREER

*** Page 28 ***

THE TRAGEDY WAS STILL BLACK ENOUGH, BUT THIS MAN HAD AT LAST DESERVED 

DEATH BY THE LAWS OF HIS COUNTRY

*** Page 28 ***

THE MORE FORMIDABLE OF THE TWO DIFFICULTIES

*** Page 30 ***

I TOLD YOU IN LONDON THAT WE HAVE NEVER HAD A FOEMAN MORE WORTHY OF OUR 

STEEL

*** Page 31 ***

MY DEAR WATSON YOU WERE BORN TO BE A MAN OF ACTION. YOUR INSTINCT ALWAYS 

TO DO SOMETHING ENERGETIC

*** Page 32 ***

SUFFICIENT FOR TOMORROW IS THE EVIL THEREOF

*** Page 33 ***

WATSON'S REPORTS ARE MOST INCRIMINATING DOCUMENTS

*** Page 34 ***

WATSON WON'T ALLOW THAT I KNOW ANYTHING OF ART, BUT THAT IS MERE JEALOUSY 

BECAUSE OUR VIEWS UPON THE SUBJECT DIFFER

*** Page 36 ***

MY EYES HAVE BEEN TRAINED TO EXAMINE FACES AND NOT THEIR TRIMMINGS. IT IS 

THE FIRST QUALITY OF A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOR THAT HE SHOULD SEE THROUGH A 

DISGUISE

*** Oct19 ********************************************************************

*** Page 1 ***

HE WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE PINED AWAY AT THE DOOR OF MY HUT, AS A BOY DOES 

AT HIS MASTER'S GRAVE

*** Page 6 ***

IN THAT CASE THE COINCIDENCE MUST INDEED HAVE BEN AN EXTRAORDINARY ONE

*** Page 8 ***

LESTRADE IS THE BEST OF THE PROFESSIONALS, I THINK, AND I BELIEVED WE 

SHOULD NEED HIS ASSISTANCE.
