Sherlock Quote by Michael R. Hicks
““When you have eliminated the impossible,” he heard Melissa say through the intercom, “whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Sherlock Holmes said that.” “I never would have figured you for a fan of Arthur Conan Doyle,” Jack said. “I didn’t read it,” she said with a trace of exasperation. “It was on TV.””
