- Mr. Silchester: How can you possibly know what is close to my heart?
- Alice: The subject is honey, sir, for which I believe you have an inordinate taste.
- Mr. Silchester: [Nervously] But you wish me to go there?
- Mr. Mycroft: My dear Mr. Silchester, the safest place for a prospective victim is on the threshold of his would-be murderer.
- Mr. Silchester: Alice, my requirements are a fortnight's supply of honey, not the establishment of friendship with a bee-keeper!
- Mr. Silchester: How am I expected to procure honey if every bee-keeper in the district goes out of business?
