A frase é resultado das adaptações dos roteiristas dos programas de rádio, de televisão e de cinema do famoso detetive. Também o boné e a capa xadrex foram iventados depois, não estão no texto original.

Vocabulary:

Drawing large conclusions from smallest observations = tirar grandes conclusões a partir de um pequeno detalhe.

Skillful = habilidoso, engenhoso.
