SH: Silver Blaze

Right anatomy was never an option!!!

For 's "Your favourite scene in canon" Contest.
It is hard to say which scene is my favourite, because when you have 60 stories abuot a man like Holmes combined with Doyle's writing style... Well, let me say there are a Hell lot of scenes to choose from.
However, I decided for the following scene of the story "Silver Blaze", because I think it is so damn clever! Everytime I read it, I start giggling, because it is, well, clever and so obvious. Apart from that, "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" sounds great.
(And I read a book with this title, which was pretty good as well, although not SH related.)

JFYI: Holmes looks pretty young here- That's simply because of the fact that canon!/book!Holmes is during the majority of the stories in his mid 30s. (His birthday is most likely the 6th January 1854, and "Silver Blaze" takes place in October 1888. So, yeah. 34 years- That's my man! )
I DON'T DENY THAT IN MY OPINION MICHAEL F* FASSBENDER WOULD MAKE A PERFECT YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES!!! #LIFE RUINER

Characters: Inspector Gregory, Watson, Holmes
Scene:
<sub>"I must say that I am rather disappointed in our London consultant," said Colonel Ross, bluntly, as my friend left the room. "I do not see that we are any further than when he came."
"At least you have his assurance that your horse will run," said I.
"Yes, I have his assurance," said the Colonel, with a shrug of his shoulders. "I should prefer to have the horse."
I was about to make some reply in defence of my friend when he entered the room again.
"Now, gentlemen," said he, "I am quite ready for Tavistock."
As we stepped into the carriage one of the stable-lads held the door open for us. A sudden idea seemed to occur to Holmes, for he leaned forward and touched the lad upon the sleeve.
"You have a few sheep in the paddock," he said. "Who attends to them?"
"I do, sir."
"Have you noticed anything amiss with them of late?"
"Well, sir, not of much account; but three of them have gone lame, sir."
I could see that Holmes was extremely pleased, for he chuckled and rubbed his hands together.
"A long shot, Watson; a very long shot," said he, pinching my arm. "Gregory, let me recommend to your attention this singular epidemic among the sheep. Drive on, coachman!"
Colonel Ross still wore an expression which showed the poor opinion which he had formed of my companion's ability, but I saw by the Inspector's face that his attention had been keenly aroused.
"You consider that to be important?" he asked.
"Exceedingly so."
--> "Is there any 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.
