Fragment din roman:

"Holmes se ridica in capul oaselor pe canapea si l-am vazut miscandu-se asemenea cuiva care are nevoie de aer. O servitoare se grabi sa deschida larg geamul, moment in care Holmes ridica bratul. Era semnalul asteptat, astfel ca eu am azvarlit explozibilul inauntru si am dat imediat alarma de incendiu. Abia am rostit cuvantul si intreaga multime de spectatori, mai bine sau mai prost imbracati, domni, servitoare sau grajdari, s-a unit intr-un strigat general. Nori grosi de fum au umplut sufrageria si au inceput sa iasa pe fereastra. Am zarit vag miscarea unor siluete dezorientate si, cateva secunde mai tarziu, am auzit vocea lui Holmes asigurandu-i pe toti ca a fost o alarma falsa. Mi-am croit drum prin multimea care striga si astfel am ajuns la capatul strazii. Zece minute mai tarziu, m-am bucurat sa-mi revad prietenul si, astfel, sa putem scapa din acel vacarm. Holmes mergea grabit si in tacere pana am iesit intr-una din strazile linistite care dadeau in Edgeware Road.

Holmes had sat up upon the couch, and I saw him motion like a man who is in need of air. A maid rushed across and threw open the window. At the same instant I saw him raise his hand and at the signal I tossed my rocket into the room with a cry of "Fire!" The word was no sooner out of my mouth than the whole crowd of spectators, well dressed and ill — gentlemen, ostlers, and servant-maids — joined in a general shriek of "Fire!" Thick clouds of smoke curled through the room and out at the open window. I caught a glimpse of rushing figures, and a moment later the voice of Holmes from within assuring them that it was a false alarm. Slipping through the shouting crowd I made my way to the corner of the street, and in ten minutes was rejoiced to find my frien-d's arm in mine, and to get away from the scene of uproar. He walked swiftly and in silence for some few minutes until we had turned down one of the quiet streets which lead towards the Edgeware Road. "
