• Sherlock Holmes : My card.

  Professor Presbury : Two hundred and twenty-one *B*. Hardly an address to inspire confidence.

  Sherlock Holmes : Well, I've never sought to inspire confidence in others; I have quite enough of my own.

  Professor Presbury : You may inform the Secretary of the Royal Society that I have entitled my Michaelmas lecture 'Darwin's Fundamental Error'.

  Jack Bennett : That'll raise a few hackles, sir.

  Professor Presbury : Will it not.

• Professor Presbury : My assistant had no authority to engage you in this matter; kindly enquire into it no further. Should you persist, I shall have no hesitation in calling the police. Lestrade of the yard is well known to me, so beware.

  Sherlock Holmes : I would hesitate in calling Lestrade, Professor, if you wish to have the mystery solved.
