Doyle, Arthur Conan

"The Memoirs Of Sherlock Holmes"

"Come out into the sunshine!"


? ? ? ? "No, thank you, Joseph. I have a slight headache and this room is deliciously cool and soothing."


? ? ? ? "What do you propose now, Mr. Holmes?" asked our client.


? ? ? ? "Well, in investigating this minor affair we must not lose sight of our main inquiry. It would be a very great help to me if you would come up to London with us."


? ? ? ? "At once?"


? ? ? ? "Well, as soon as you conveniently can. Say in an hour."


? ? ? ? "I feel quite strong enough, if I can really be of any help."


? ? ? ? "The greatest possible."


? ? ? ? "Perhaps you would like me to stay there to-night?"


? ? ? ? "I was just going to propose it."


? ? ? ? "Then, if my friend of the night comes to revisit me, he will find the bird flown. We are all in your hands, Mr. Holmes, and you must tell us exactly what you would like done. Perhaps you would prefer that Joseph came with us so as to look after me?"


? ? ? ? "Oh, no, my friend Watson is a medical man, you know, and he'll look after you. We'll have our lunch here, if you will permit us, and then we shall all three set off for town together.
