"And Miss Sutherland?" "If I tell her she will not believe me. You may remember the old Persian saying, 'There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatcheth a delusion from a woman. There is as much sense in Hafiz as in Horace, and as much knowledge of the world." A Scandal in Bohemia To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman.
