"I followed you."
"I saw no one."
"That is what you may expect to see when I follow you." 

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Devil's Foot

"When I Follow You"

by Yanxi Chen

"I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it."

-- Sherlock Holmes, A Study In Scarlet

"A Little Empty Attic"

by Fenix Falls and Yanxi Chen

"My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation. That is why I have chosen my own particular profession, or rather created it, for I am the only one in the world."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four

"The Only One in the World"

by Diana Kim

"It was easier to know it than to explain why I know it. If you were asked to prove that two and two made four, you might find some difficulty, and yet you are quite sure of the fact."

-- Sherlock Holmes, A Study In Scarlet

"Two and Two Made Four"

by Diana Kim

"What a lovely thing a rose is! There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as religion. It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner. Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers. All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance. But this rose is an extra. Its smell and its color are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it. It is only goodness which gives extras, and so I say again that we have much to hope from the flowers.”

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Naval Treaty

"What A Lovely Thing"

by Yanxi Chen

"Which is it to-day," I asked, "morphine or cocaine?"
He raised his eyes languidly from the old black-letter volume which he had opened.
“It is cocaine," he said, "a seven-per-cent solution. Would you care to try it?"

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four

"Seven-Per-Cent Solution"

by Yanxi Chen


"Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable."

-- Sherlock Holmes, A Case of Identity

"Flying Over London"

by Yanxi Chen

"...it is stupidity rather than courage to refuse to recognize danger when it is close upon you."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Final Problem

"Close Upon You"

by Yanxi Chen

"When one tries to rise above Nature one is liable to fall below it. The highest type of man may revert to the animal if he leaves the straight road of destiny."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Creeping Man

"Rise Above Nature"

by Yanxi Chen

"The lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Copper Beeches

"A More Dreadful Record of Sin

by Fenix Falls

"Watson here will tell you that I never can resist a touch of the dramatic."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Naval Treaty

"A Touch of the Dramatic"

by Fenix Falls and Diana Kim

"A complex mind. All great criminals have that."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Illustrious Client

"A Complex Mind"

by Yanxi Chen

"It is a capital mistake to theorize in advance of the facts."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Adventure of the Second Stain

"In Advance of the Facts"

by Fenix Falls

"...the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Five Orange Pips

"One Link In A Series"

by Fenix Falls

"It was worth a wound; it was worth many wounds; to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation."

-- John Watson, The Three Garridebs

"A Glimpse of a Great Heart"

by Yanxi Chen

"In solving a problem of this sort, the grand thing is to be able to reason backward. That is a very useful accomplishment, and a very easy one, but people do not practise it much. In the everyday affairs of life it is more useful to reason forward, and so the other comes to be neglected. There are fifty who can reason synthetically for one who can reason analytically."

-- Sherlock Holmes, A Study In Scarlet

"Reason Backward"

by Diana Kim

"What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence," returned my companion, bitterly. "The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done?" 

-- Sherlock Holmes, A Study In Scarlet

"A Matter Of No Consequence"

by Yanxi Chen

"When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet

"However Improbable"

by Yanxi Chen

“There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started..."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Greek Interpreter

"The Diogenes Club"

by Diana Kim

"A client is to me a mere unit, a factor in a problem. The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of Four

"The Emotional Qualities"

by Ido Strauss

"You know my method. It is founded upon the observation of trifles."

-- Sherlock Holmes, The Boscombe Valley Mystery
