‘I’m not going to tell you much more of the case, Doctor. You know a conjurer gets no credit once he has explained his trick; and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.’
‘I shall never do that,’ I answered; ‘you have brought detection as near an exact science as as it will ever be brought in this world.’
My companion flushed up with pleasure at my words, and the earnest way in which I uttered them. I had already observed that he was as sensitive to flattery on the score of his art as any girl could be of her beauty.
— from ‘A Study in Scarlet’ by Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle
