• Sherlock Holmes : I think you should go to Viena yourself, Mycroft.

  Mycroft Holmes : Come, Sherlock, you very well know that I am not the man to run here and there, to cross-question witnesses, to lie on my face with a lens to my eye, no! The preservation of the civilized world is at stake, and you, and you alone can save it.
