Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


"Oh, my night could not be called monotonous," said he, and
laughed. He laughed very heartily, with a high, ringing note,
leaning back in his chair and shaking his sides. All my medical
instincts rose up against that laugh.


"Stop it!" I cried; "pull yourself together!" and I poured out
some water from a caraffe.


It was useless, however. He was off in one of those hysterical
outbursts which come upon a strong nature when some great crisis
is over and gone. Presently he came to himself once more, very
weary and pale-looking.
