From Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventure of Silver Blaze, perhaps the most archetypal exchange in the entire Canon:
:"Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?"
:"To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time."
:"The dog did nothing in the night-time."
:"That was the curious incident," remarked Sherlock Holmes.
