Please forget the words I said, which have no application whatever to you." "But I can't forget them, Miss Stapleton," said I."I am Sir Henry's friend, and his welfare is a very close concern of mine.
Tell me why it was that you were so eager that Sir Henry should return to London." "A woman's whim, Dr.Watson.When you know me better you will understand that I cannot always give reasons for what I say or do." "No, no.

I remember the thrill in your voice.

I remember the look in your eyes.

Please, please, be frank with me, Miss Stapleton, for ever since I have been here I have been conscious of shadows all round me.
