I don't trust him.

Only a fool would trust Professor Moriarty, the Napoleon of Crime!

Quick, Watson, the game is afoot!

That's so cute how Holmes and Moriarty discover their love for one another just before they fall off the cliff, hugging like a zen master eating the strawberry between the tiger and the final plummet.

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

It's a Baritsu move.

It's a Baritsu move.

From the link:

Why did Holmes refer to baritsu rather than Bartitsu?

Because pulp writers back then loved to make up eclectic-sounding stuff, like all the fun HP Lovecraft and R.E. Howard had sharing Cthulu characters and myths and such.

I've been re-reading SH on my PDA on my transit to work for the last little while. Good stuff.
