Quotes 

• Lady Diana Swinstead : On my knees, I beg you... I implore you to show mercy.

  Charles Augustus Milverton : I'm not in the business of mercy, madam.

• Charles Augustus Milverton : And yet here I find you, Mr. Holmes - a man of sense - boggling at terms when the whole future and honor of your client is at stake. You surprise me. You do, really.

• Doctor Watson : Surely, it would be better for you to take the substantial sum we offer than to ruin this young woman's career, which can profit you in no way.

  Charles Augustus Milverton : There, you're mistaken. An exposure would profit me indirectly to a considerable degree. I have eight or ten similar cases maturing. Ah, if it is circulated that I have made a severe example of Lady Eva, I shall find the rest much more open to reason. Do you see my point?
