Still famous enough to be misquoted, still petty enough to reply.
I created a detective so memorable he made my other achievements look like side quests.
Arthur, creating one unforgettable detective is how a writer gets mugged by his own character.
Agatha, at least Sherlock solved things. Your suspects spend dinner weaponizing politeness.
Both of you made logic famous and forgot mood was already standing in the hallway.
Poe, mood is not a clue. It is what happens when a clue refuses sunlight.
A side quest is only insulting when it sells fewer tickets than the detective.
People love logic until it points directly at their very expensive nonsense.
Arthur, people love logic until it stops flattering them.
Agatha, nonsense is expensive because vanity keeps financing it.
Logic is terribly rude. It enters a room and undresses confidence.
Oscar, confidence usually confesses before the second cup of tea.
The clue is never the problem. The problem is the ego trying to negotiate it.
