Sherlock Holmes in Washington

Sherlock Holmes: I shall write a monograph someday on the noxious habit of accumulating useless trivia.

Sherlock Holmes: This is a great contry, Watson. Dr John H. Watson: It certainly is, my dear fellow. Sherlock Holmes: Look. Up there ahead. The Capitol - the very heart of this democracy. Dr John H. Watson: Democracy - the only hope for the future, eh, Holmes? Sherlock Holmes: It is not given for us to peer into the mysteries of the future. But in the days to come, the British and American people for their own safety and the good of all will walk together in majesty and in justice and in peace. Dr John H. Watson: That's magnificent. I quite agree with you. Sherlock Holmes: Not with me. With Mr Winston Churchill. I was quoting from the speech he made not long ago in that very building.

Sherlock Holmes: I assure you that Dr Watson is the very soul of discretion.

Dr John H. Watson: It's clear as mud to me.
