I tell you, Watson, this time we have got a foeman who is worthy of our steel.

I've been checkmated in London.

I can only wish you better luck in Devonshire.

But I'm not easy in my mind about it." "About what ?" "About sending you.

It's an ugly business, Watson, an ugly dangerous business, and the more I see of it the less I like it.
Yes, my dear fellow, you may laugh, but I give you my word that I shall be very glad to have you back safe and sound in Baker Street once more.".
