“I have a trade of my own. I suppose I am the only one in the world. I’m a consulting detective, if you can understand what that is. Here in London we have lots of Government detectives and lots of private ones. When these fellows are at fault they come to me, and I manage to put them on the right scent.”
- A Study in Scarlet“Well, [Mycroft’s] position is unique. He has made it for himself. There has never been anything like it before, nor will be again. He has the tidiest and most orderly brain, with the greatest capacity for storing facts, of any man living. The same great powers which I have turned to the detection of crime he has used for this particular business. The conclusions of every department are passed to him, and he is the central exchange, the clearinghouse, which makes out the balance. All other men are specialists, but his specialism is omniscience.”
- The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington PlansOur boys, always having to be unique. Inventing their own jobs, the only ones the world will ever see.
I also love how they basically do the exact same work, only in different fields.

We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief?
