Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


"'I would go,' said she, trying hard, as it seemed to me, to
speak calmly; 'I would go. I should not stay here. There is no
good for you to do.'


"'But, madam,' said I, 'I have not yet done what I came for. I
cannot possibly leave until I have seen the machine.'


"'It is not worth your while to wait,' she went on. 'You can pass
through the door; no one hinders.' And then, seeing that I smiled
and shook my head, she suddenly threw aside her constraint and
made a step forward, with her hands wrung together. 'For the love
of Heaven!' she whispered, 'get away from here before it is too
late!'
