Quotes 

• Colonel Cavanaugh : By now Mr. Holmes has no doubt exchanged his violin for a harp.

  Mrs. Hilda Courtney : Oh, well, assuming that Heaven is his destination.

• Colonel Cavanaugh : [remarking on the poison gas]  That little attachment, my dear Mr. Holmes, contains the deadly fluid known as monosulfide. The Germans use it with gratifying results in removing their undesirables.

• Colonel Cavanaugh : [to a handcuffed Holmes, who is hanging from a beam]  You find yourself like Muhammad's coffin, Mr. Holmes, suspended between Heaven and Earth.

• Hamid : [angrily, after Cavanaugh has grabbed a book of poems from him inscribed by Mrs. Courtney]  Some day you'll go too far.

  Colonel Cavanaugh : Reaching for a star, you fool.

  Hamid : Yet a fool may touch a star, Colonel Cavanaugh, if he reaches high enough.

  Colonel Cavanaugh : But not possess it as you would.
