Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


One morning, at a little before seven o'clock, I was awakened by
the maid tapping at the door to announce that two men had come
from Paddington and were waiting in the consulting-room. I
dressed hurriedly, for I knew by experience that railway cases
were seldom trivial, and hastened downstairs. As I descended, my
old ally, the guard, came out of the room and closed the door
tightly behind him.


"I've got him here," he whispered, jerking his thumb over his
shoulder; "he's all right."
