-->'''Watson:''' "I know, I know: prevarication finds no place in my many talents." (wicked grin) "I beg to differ, O Brilliant Detective — I managed to work my way into Moriarty's own organisation."

** So is the conversation between Lestrade, Gregson, and Morton during the Culverton Smith investigation. ("Lestrade, are you finally breaking under pressure? Truly?")
** After Patterson takes Watson down to the mortuary, Lestrade and Gregson have a wry, brief exchange. [[WordOfGod The author admitted that the conversation was to provide a breather in an otherwise difficult-to-read chapter.]]
** The narrative looking through Lestrade's point-of-view tends to be ''very'' dry.
* Wiggins has really grown up to be a serious DeadpanSnarker.
** "That's a question as loaded as Dr. Watson's service revolver, Inspector."
