Arthur Conan Doyle Quotes

As He Spoke, He Whipped A Tape Measure And A Large Round Magnifying Glass From His Pocket. With These Two Implements He Trotted Noiselessly About The Room, Sometimes Stopping, Occasionally Kneeling, And Once Lying Flat Upon His Face ... As I Watched Him I Was Irresistibly Reminded Of A Pure-blooded Well-trained Foxhound As It Dashes Backwards And Forwards Through The Covert, Whining In Its Eagerness, Until It Comes Across The Lost Scent. For Twenty Minutes Or More He Continued His Researches, Measuring With The Most Exact Care The Distance Between Marks Which Were Entirely Invisible To Me, And Occasionally Applying His Tape To The Walls In An Equally Incomprehensible Manner.
