“It takes more energy to find the words to describe poems than almost anything I can think of, except of course for trying to find the damn words to write one. ”
Robert Newman

“Did he say anything about your mother?”
“No. I don’t think he saw her when he looked in. He just saw you.”
“Well, I suppose we should be thankful for small blessings.”
“Oh, there you are,” said Verna as she was bowed out of Worthington’s by the man in the frock coat. “Have you been here long?”
“No, just a few minutes,” said Andrew.
“Why didn’t you come in?”
Andrew glanced at Sara. “We didn’t mind waiting outside,” he said.
“I think that what we’re faced with,” said Wyatt, “is an excess of discretion, which, while unnecessary, does have its charm. But that’s enough of that.”
Robert Newman, The Case of the Murdered Players

“Except to Mrs. Harker. And just a few minutes ago you were urging me to help her.” “But that was before you were asked to help put a stop to the bombings. I confess that your reasoning baffles me.” “Not for the first time, Watson. And probably not for the last.”
Robert Newman, The Case of the Baker Street Irregular
