Quotes 

• Dr. Grimesby Roylott : You scoundrel, sir. I've heard of you before! You are Holmes the meddler, Holmes the busybody, Holmes the Scotland Yard Jack-in-office!

  Sherlock Holmes : [short burst of laughter]  Your conversation really is most entertaining. If you would close the door, on your way out, as there is a decided draught.

  Dr. Grimesby Roylott : I shall go when I have had my say: don't you dare to meddle in my affairs!

  [He seizes the poker from the fireplace and bends it into a "u" with his bare hands] 

  Dr. Grimesby Roylott : I am a dangerous man to fall foul of.

• Dr. Grimesby Roylott : Which one of you is Holmes?

  Sherlock Holmes : My name, sir, but you have the advantage of me.

• [first lines] 

  Thorne : [chasing a boy]  Come here, lad.

  Dr. Grimesby Roylott : What are you doing on my property?

  Thorne : Come to claim back what's rightfully mine, sir. That thieving young rascal made off with some horseshoes and a bag of nails from my smithy.

  Dr. Grimesby Roylott : Where is your proof?

  Thorne : The proof is I'll find 'em there. Now, I don't want to be forced to call the police.

  Dr. Grimesby Roylott : These people are guests of mine, but you are trespassing, Mister Thorne.

  Thorne : I'm not frightened of you, Doctor.

  Dr. Grimesby Roylott : Get off my land!
