Prosecuting Barrister:
"A consulting criminal."

Sherlock Holmes:
Yes.

Prosecuting Barrister:
Your words. Can you expand on that answer?

Sherlock Holmes:
James Moriarty is for hire.

Prosecuting Barrister:
A tradesman?

Sherlock Holmes:
Yes.

Prosecuting Barrister:
But not the sort who'd fix your heating?

Sherlock Holmes:
No, the sort who'd plant a bomb or stage an assassination, but I'm sure he'd make a pretty decent job of your boiler.

Prosecuting Barrister:
Would you describe him as...

Sherlock Holmes:
Leading.

Prosecuting Barrister:
What?

Sherlock Holmes:
Can't do that. You're leading the witness. He'll object and the judge will uphold.

Judge:
Mr Holmes!

Sherlock Holmes:
Ask me how. How would I describe him? What opinion have I formed of him? Do they not teach you this?
