As to where I am... I was, admittedly, lost for a moment between Charing Cross and Holborn. But I was saved by the bread shop on Saffron Hill... the only baker to use a certain French glaze on their loaves... a Brittany sage. The carriage forked left, then right, a telltale bump over the Fleet Conduit. And as to who you are, that took every ounce of my not inconsiderable experience. The letters on your desk are addressed to Sir Thomas Rotheram. Lord Chief Justice, tha'd be your official title. Who you really are is, of course, another matter entirely. Judging by the sacred ox on your ring... you're the head of the Temple of the Four Orders... in whose headquarters we now sit... on the northwest corner of St. James's Square, I think. As to the mystery, the only mystery is why you bothered to blindfold me at all. Yes, well, standard procedure, I suppose.

They're practically interesting. Be as skeptical as you like. But our secret systems have steered the world towards good for centuries. The danger is they can also be used for more nefarious purposes. What some call the dark arts, or practical magic. We know you don't believe in magic, Mr. Holmes. We don't expect you to share our faith... merely our fears. Fear is the more infectious condition. In this instance... fear of your own child.

- Yes. - You're feeling sensitive. I'm not sensitive. What you need is a rest. My brother, Mycroft, has a small estate near Chichester. Beautiful grounds. There's a folly. We can throw a lamb on the spit. We? Holmes, if I were to go to the country, it would be with my future wife. - Well, certainly, if we must... - No, not you. Mary and I. - You are not... - What, invited? Why would I not be invited to my brother's country home? Now you're not making any sense. You're not human. John Watson?

Now, please tell me you have answers. All in good time, Lestrade. "All in good time"? Is this some parlor game where we guess what you're thinking? I've got a public in frenzy out there. If you don't fill me in... I'll have you in there playing Victoria and Albert quicker than a bookie's runner.

There's one thing you've failed to deduce from the watch. Really? I think not. The time. I have to get back, Holmes. Taking tea with the in-laws. - Reckon your future, sir? - Absolutely not. - No, thank you. - You need to hear what I have to tell. We have no need of your lucky heather, gypsy woman. Even if it's to do with Mary?

And precisely the reason you can't find a suitable ring. Do you have my money? You are terrified of a life without the thrill of the macabre. - Do you have my cut from the fight? - Admit it. - Give me my money! Holmes. - Admit it! I see.

It does make a considerable difference to me... having someone with me on whom I can thoroughly rely. Well, you can rely on me for exactly 10 minutes.

The area you're looking for is Nine Elms. I wondered. Do you remember where I put the Lords Register of members' interests? It's on the stepladder.
