Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

appeared in all the papers about a year ago. Listen to this:
'Lost, on the 9th inst., Mr. Jeremiah Hayling, aged
twenty-six, a hydraulic engineer. Left his lodgings at ten
o'clock at night, and has not been heard of since. Was
dressed in,' etc., etc. Ha! That represents the last time that
the colonel needed to have his machine overhauled, I fancy."


"Good heavens!" cried my patient. "Then that explains what the
girl said."
