Quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“An anomaly which often struck me in the character of my friend Sherlock Holmes was that, although in his methods of thought he was the neatest and most methodical of mankind, and although also he affected a certain quiet primness of dress, he was none the less in his personal habits one of the most untidy men that ever drove a fellow-lodger to distraction.”
The Musgrave Ritual

Quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“If it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper ‘Norbury’ in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you.”
The Yellow Face

Lure of the Hypnogourd

I had to arrange for cable after I moved. I use cable internet, of course, and I had signed up for cable TV. Digital cable, even, because I already had the box. I’ve had the service for a while now and I have come to what is, for me, a surprising conclusion: I don’t watch a lot of television.
 
There are shows I’m disappointed to miss, of course, but I don’t tend to watch those at home. When I’m here, if the television is on, it’s usually providing background noise while I’m on the computer. Really, I have music and the radio for that. I’m trying to figure out why I got the TV hooked up in the first place.
 
I think it was just sort of expected. I don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t have cable anymore. Television is such a part of our lives, it didn’t really seem to be something with any doubt to it.
 

Without watching it, however, I’m giving a company money for a wasted service. I think instead, I’ll call and cancel. I’m not dissatisfied with it; I’ve just come to accept that I’m a gamer, and I just don’t watch TV anymore.

Quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“‘I am sure, Mr. Holmes, that we are very much indebted to you for having cleared the matter up.  I wish I knew how you reached your results.’

‘I reached this one,’ said my friend, ‘by sitting upon five pillows and consuming an ounce of shag.’”

Quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late.  And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honourable title of the woman.”

Quote from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

“A fitting windup to an extremely interesting case.  There is nothing at all new to me in the latter part of your narrative except that you brought your own rope.  That I did not know.”
