Madam Simza Heron: The wagon is too slow. Can't you ride?
Dr. John Watson: It's not that he can't ride... How is it you put it, Holmes?

Factual errors: When Holmes entered Mr. Moriarty's office to get an inscription, there is a chessboard on the desk, with all pieces at their starting squares. White's King and Queen starting position is wrong. White Queen should be on white square, opposing the black Queen on the other rank. See more »Quotes
