Insp. Lestrade : And that's Alfred Brunton's shoe.
Sherlock Holmes : Fits perfectly, Inspector.
Insp. Lestrade : Uh-huh.
Sherlock Holmes : But the fact that these prints were made by Brunton's shoes doesn't prove that Brunton's feet were in them.
Insp. Lestrade : Why not? Where should Brunton's feet be if not in his own shoes?
Dr. John H. Watson : Well, they're not in them now, are they?
