Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


I had expected to see Sherlock Holmes impatient under this
rambling and inconsequential narrative, but, on the contrary, he
had listened with the greatest concentration of attention.


"Your own little income," he asked, "does it come out of the
business?"


"Oh, no, sir. It is quite separate and was left me by my uncle
Ned in Auckland. It is in New Zealand stock, paying 4 1/2 per
cent. Two thousand five hundred pounds was the amount, but I can
only touch the interest."
