As families tended to use the same names, I have an idea for a book about how Sherlock & Mycroft's grandparents met. Whether it gets written or not remains to be seen.(less)

Quotes by Margaret Walsh  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I very much doubt that such uncanny entities as might be invoked by a curse need to bind their victims with rope.”
Margaret Walsh, Sherlock Holmes and the Curse of Neb-Heka-Ra

“But I learned something else that night. That Doctor John H. Watson has the most deceptive appearance of all. An iron resolve and a great heart in the body of a gentle and unassuming man.”
Margaret Walsh, Sherlock Holmes: Tales From The Stranger's Room - Volume 3

“This is less the intricate weavings of an arachnid, Mr. Holmes, as a ball of wool after a kitten has finished with it," said Lestrade, with some asperity.”
Margaret Walsh, Sherlock Holmes and the Molly-Boy Murders

“We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.”
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

“Phryne was getting out of the car. Dot closed her eyes. Miss Fisher was about to happen to someone again.”
Kerry Greenwood, Dead Man's Chest

“I mused for a few moments on the question of which was worse, to lead a life so boring that you are easily enchanted, or a life so full of stimulus that you are easily bored.”
Bill Bryson, Lost Continent: Travels In Small-Town America

“Sherlock: If the occasional pile of clutter offends you, by all means move it.
John: Last time I tried that I was bitten by a large spider you appeared to be using as a bookmark.”
Guy Adams, Sherlock: The Casebook

“You can't treat royalty like people with normal perverted desires.”
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Caroline Thank you, Margy, for the friend-vite! Looking forward to good book chats with you!

Me too. I love discussing books. :D


Margaret The recommendations on here puzzle & amuse me sometimes. Good Reads just recommended a book on the history of Alexandria, because I had read a book on swearing!
