“I knew how to use a dictionary, and if I was going to be spending time around Nero Wolfe, I would have to buy one."-Archie Goodwin in Archie Meets Nero Wolfe”
Robert Goldsborough, Archie Meets Nero Wolfe: A Prequel to Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe Mysteries

“I learned as much from the newspaper reports on Mr. Childress’s death,” Wolfe replied dryly. “My current schedule does not allow for the reading of detective fiction, let alone its so-called continuation by a second author.”
Robert Goldsborough, The Missing Chapter

“Madam, hatred has become your handmaiden.”
Robert Goldsborough, Murder in E Minor
