I hans ögon står hon högt över sina medsystrar – hon fördunklar alla och en var av hela sitt kön. Jag tror ej, att han för Irene Adler erfarit någon slags känsla, liknande kärlek; alla känslor och sinnesrörelser – kärlek i synnerhet – voro främmande för hans kalla, bestämda och utomordentligt väl avvägda karaktär."
