"This is, you know, the BBC can´t wait, and get some puzzles..." "A place where a lady have no business." "Where a man can have his dreams undisturbed." "Not, you´ve make a mistake." "Mind your own business, and no harm will come to you." "¡Come, go and no return!" "I remember absolutely be absorved by it, because I read all the stories, and I thought Douglas Wilmer not any the best look alike." "But they also follow the plot lines that Conan Doyle had writen." "I percieved, for instance, that you live in Kent." "That your house is not far from the railway station." "And that you left home before luncheon." "¿But how did you know that?"
