Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


"'Mr. Hatherley?' said he, with something of a German accent.
'You have been recommended to me, Mr. Hatherley, as being a man
who is not only proficient in his profession but is also discreet
and capable of preserving a secret.'


"I bowed, feeling as flattered as any young man would at such an
address. 'May I ask who it was who gave me so good a character?'


"'Well, perhaps it is better that I should not tell you that just
at this moment. I have it from the same source that you are both
an orphan and a bachelor and are residing alone in London.'
