I've got some information. What do you want to know about? And, for that matter, why? [Not that he thinks Holmes has some ulterior motive, so much as he's not going to just hand out info without getting some context.]

Agent Kay has asked me to look into the sources that Miss Young has been utilising for parts; it is likely she is not working alone.

I put together a list of components for each trap. The parts I suspect she got from the Barge are marked with an asterisk. That's about the extent of my recordkeeping on her.

Do you know the fate of her contraptions?

Miss me already?

It became prudent to ensure that you were not approaching some semblance of death.

You are aware that I have been released from the infirmary and you are, in fact, standing at the door to my cabin, yes?

These facts had not escaped my attention. Are you familiar with Monsieur Clapet?
