Quotes
-
Auguste Dupin : [awakened while playing chess] Oh, dear!
[clears his throat and looks at the board]
Auguste Dupin : Did I miss that? Am I losing my concentration as well as everything else?
[laughs]
Claire Dupin : You were asleep, Father?
Auguste Dupin : That's no excuse for incompetence. I used to be able to sleep and think at the same time.
[laughs ironically and then adds introspectively]
Auguste Dupin : I was famous for it.
