# Quote — Arthur Conan Doyle, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

> "Of course I remembered him," said I as I laid down the letter. "Big Bob Ferguson, the finest three-quarter Richmond ever had. He was always a good-natured chap. It's like him to be so concerned over a friend's case."
>
> Holmes looked at me thoughtfully and shook his head. "I never get your limits, Watson," said he. "There are unexplored possibilities about you. Take a wire down, like a good fellow. 'Will examine your case with pleasure.'"
>
> --"Your case!"
>
> --"We must not let him think that this agency is a home for the weak-minded."
