.oOOo.

Before I had fully answered the door, a bear in man’s clothing pushed into the sitting room. He took one look at the wooden crate situated there.

‘You found my apatosaurus femur!’ he exclaimed, with his native Ayrshire accent. ‘Holmes, you are a genius!’

At this point, he sprang across the room and shook Holmes by the hand, and I do mean that literally. Holmes masked his grimace with a forced smile. ‘My pleasure, Professor Challenger. It was a tricky…’

‘Oh, I care not for the details! Results are all that matter!’ With that, he shouldered the crate and departed.

.oOOo.

Thanks! I TOTALLY stole that line from the 2016 remake of "The Magnificent Seven", and when I looked up Doyle's description of Professor Challenger, I immediately pictured Brian Blessed.
