List of Sentences: Lo dije en Londres, Watson, y lo repito ahora: nunca hemos contrubuido a acabar con un hombre tan peligroso como el que aquí yace.

-Veamos, Watson, a qué conclusión llega?

De algún sitio en el corazón de aquella masa blanca que seguía deslizándose llegó hasta nosotros un tambolireo ligero y continuo. La niebla estaba a cincuenta metros de nuestro escondite y los tres contemplábamos sin saber que horror estaba a punto de brotar de sus entrañas.
