"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.

Letter from Lord St. Simon
MY DEAR MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES:
“Lord Backwater tells me that I may place implicit reliance upon your judgment and discretion. I have determined, therefore, to call upon you and to consult you in reference to the very painful event which has occurred in connection with my wedding. Mr. Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, is acting already in the matter, but he assures me that he sees no objection to your cooperation, and that he even thinks that it might be of some assistance. I will call at four o’clock in the afternoon, and, should you have any other engagement at that time, I hope that you will postpone it, as this matter is of paramount importance.
“Yours faithfully,
“ST. SIMON.
