Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


One night--it was in June, '89--there came a ring to my bell,
about the hour when a man gives his first yawn and glances at the
clock. I sat up in my chair, and my wife laid her needle-work
down in her lap and made a little face of disappointment.


"A patient!" said she. "You'll have to go out."


I groaned, for I was newly come back from a weary day.


We heard the door open, a few hurried words, and then quick steps
upon the linoleum. Our own door flew open, and a lady, clad in
some dark-coloured stuff, with a black veil, entered the room.
