Sentences with LESTRADE (5)
The conduct of the criminal investigation has been left in the experienced hands of Inspector Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, who is following up the clues with his accustomed energy and sagacity.” Sherlock Holmes listened with closed eyes and fingertips together to this remarkable account.
Holmes, it is difficult for me to refuse you anything, for you have been of use to the force once or twice in the past, and we owe you a good turn at Scotland Yard,” said Lestrade.
Lestrade had learned by more experiences than he would care to acknowledge that that brain could cut through that which was impenetrable to him.
Granting that his whole journey was occupied in drawing up the will, then the train was an express, only stopping once between Norwood and London Bridge.” Lestrade began to laugh.
Enter the tramp! He seizes a stick, which he observes there, kills Oldacre, and departs after burning the body.” “Why should the tramp burn the body?” “For the matter of that, why should McFarlane?” “To hide some evidence.” “Possibly the tramp wanted to hide that any murder at all had been committed.” “And why did the tramp take nothing?” “Because they were papers that he could not negotiate.” Lestrade shook his head, though it seemed to me that his manner was less absolutely assured than before.
Quotes with LESTRADE (3)

Inside lay a beautiful silver cigarette case monogrammed with Holmes's initials, underneath which ran the words, "With the Respects of Scotland Yard, November 1888." Sherlock Holmes sat with his lips parted, but no sound emerged." Thank you," he managed at length.
I assure you, my good Lestrade, that I have an excellent reason for everything that I do.
All my instincts are one way, and all the facts are the other, and I much fear that British juries have not yet attained that pitch of intelligence when they will give the preference to my theories over Lestrade's facts.
