There was one little sallow, rat-faced, dark-eyed fellow.
"A well-known detective. He got himself into a fog recently over a forgery case, and that was what brought him here.” (Sherlock Holmes)
(Lestrade) lean and ferret-like as ever, was standing by the doorway, and greeted my companion and myself.

Sherlock Holmes - Character Illustrations
31/07/08 17:23 Filed in: Character Illustrations
As to my companion, neither the country nor the sea presented the slightest attraction to him. He loved to lie in the very centre of five millions of people, with his filaments stretching out and running through them, responsive to every little rumour or suspicion of unsolved crime. Appreciation of nature found no place among his many gifts, and his only change was when he turned his mind from the evil-doer of the town to track down his brother of the country.

“Well, I have a trade of my own. I suppose I am the only one in the world. I’m a consulting detective, if you can understand what that is. Here in London we have lots of government detectives and lots of private ones. When these fellows are at fault, they come to me, and I manage to put them on the right scent."
