Untold Story
- Mary Morstan came to Sherlock Holmes because he once enabled her employer, Mrs. Cecil Forrester, to unravel a little domestic complication. (SIGN, 209)
'I have come to you, Mr. Holmes,' she said, 'because you once enabled my employer, Mrs. Cecil Forrester, to unravel a little domestic complication. She was much impressed by your kindness and skill.' 'Mrs. Cecil Forrester,' he repeated, thoughtfully. 'I believe that I was of some slight service to her. The case, however, as I remember it, was a very simple one.' - Holmes / Mary Morstan
