Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : Mrs. Hudson, do you think you could bring this young lady a hot cup of coffee, for I observe you are shivering.

  Helen Stoner : It is not cold which makes me shiver.

  Sherlock Holmes : What, then?

  Helen Stoner : It is fear, Mr. Holmes. It is terror!

  Sherlock Holmes : Well, you must not fear. We shall set matters right; have no doubt.

• Sherlock Holmes : You have come by train, I see, this morning.

  Helen Stoner : You know me, then?

  Sherlock Holmes : No, but I observe the second half of a return ticket in the palm of your left glove. You started early, but you had a drive in a dog-cart, along heavy roads, before you reached the station. There is no mystery, my dear lady: the left arm of your jacket is spattered with mud in no less than seven places, the marks are fresh. There is no vehicle save a dog-cart which throws up mud in that particular way, and then only when you sit on the left-hand side of the driver.

  Helen Stoner : You are perfectly correct.

• Sherlock Holmes : Miss Stoner, it is very essential that you absolutely follow my advice in every respect. Your life may depend on it.

  Helen Stoner : I assure you that I'm in your hands.
