The Holmes of the Baker Street

Doyle: “The man who hired me never told me his name.”
Holmes: “What did he look like?”
Doyle: “Tall, nice clothes, a gentleman.”
Holmes: “And where did you meet him?”
Doyle: “Backstage at the playhouse. He came to see me.”
Holmes: “What colour was his hair?”
Doyle: “I don’t remember. He was wearing a hat. A grey one.”
Holmes: “And his shoes?”
Doyle: “Brown, I think.”
Holmes: “You’re lying, Miss Doyle.”
Doyle: “About his shoes?”
Holmes: “About everything.”
