sign of four key quotes Flashcards
sinewy forearm and wrist
all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture marks
my mind..
rebels at stagnation
automaton..
a calculating machine… inhuman at times
you are a wronged women
and shall have justice
mary’s sensitive face
was composed but pale
with a weak leg
and a weaker banking account
he thought..
our night’s work might be a serious one
staring brick buildings…
the monster tentacles which the giant city was throwing out into the country
reached a…
questionable and forbidding neighbourhood
mud coloured clouds
drooped sadly over the muddy streets
it looked as out of place
as a diamond of the first water in a setting of brass
an oasis of art…
in the howling desert of south london
wild cruel eyes…
and an expression of concentrated malevolence
wound through
desolate grounds to a huge clump of house
in a horrible smile..
a fixed and unnatural grin… more jarring to the nerves that any scowl or contortion
holmes’ beady eyes
gleaming and deep set like those of a bird
simple as the case seems now…
there may be something deeper underlying it
jones was red faced…
burly and with a pair of small twinkling eyes
looked keenly out…
from between swollen and puffy pouches
she had borne trouble..
with a calm face
might mary look upon me…
as a mere vulgar fortune seeker?
this agra treasure…
intervened like an impassable barrier between us
in rushed…
a dozen dirty and ragged little street arabs
naturally hideous…
having large, misshapen heads, small fierce eyes and distorted features
the furnaces roared…
and the powerful engines whizzed and clanked like a great metallic heart
at the bottom of the thames…
lie the bones of that strange visitor to our shored
whoever had lost a treasure..
i knew that night that i had gained one
there still remains the cocaine bottle…
and he stretched his long white hand up for it
when you have eliminated the impossible…
whatever remains, however improbable must be the truth
detection is..
or ought to be an exact science and should be treated in the same cold and unemotional manner
