Of course, she misinterpreted my meaning entirely.
Constable Clark
Naturally, sir.
Sherlock Holmes

Constable Clark
Faith runs right over reason, sir.
Sherlock Holmes
Indeed. And chamber maids were once such a liberal breed.
Constable Clark
My wife's a chamber maid, sir. [pause] Anyhow, it's a good thing she was offended, sir. Otherwise we'd never have found you. The Inspector's been over to Baker Street himself twice this morning, sir.
Sherlock Holmes
Ah, yes.
Constable Clark
[Another pause]
Just joking about the wife, sir.
