Arthur Conan Doyle Quote

I understand you have already managed several delicate cases of this sort, sir, though I presume that they were hardly from the same class of society''No, I am descending.''I beg pardon?''My last client of the sort was a King.''Oh really! I had no idea. And which king?''The King of Scandinavia''What! Had he lost his wife?''You can understand, said Holmes suavely, 'that I extend to the affairs of my other clients the same secrecy which I promise to you in yours.
