Sherlock: “When a woman thinks her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing which she values the most. It is a perfectly overpowering impulse, and I have more than once taken advantage of it…A married woman grabs at her baby; an unmarried one reaches for her jewel-box. Now it was clear to me that our lady of to-day had nothing in the house more precious to her than what we are in quest of. She would rush to secure it.” — A Scandal in Bohemia
God, I need more Sherlock in my life.
