SHERLOCK: The wedding. You knew about the wedding; more importantly, you’d seen a wedding invitation. Now barely a hundred people had seen that invitation. The Mayfly Man only saw five women. For one person to be in both groups… could be a coincidence.

MYCROFT: Oh, Sherlock. What do we say about coincidence?

SHERLOCK: The universe is rarely so lazy.

MYCROFT: So, the balance of probability is …?

SHERLOCK: Someone went to great lengths to find out something about this wedding.

MYCROFT: What great lengths?

SHERLOCK: They lied, assumed false identities.

MYCROFT: Which suggests …?

SHERLOCK: Criminal intent.

MYCROFT: Also suggests …?

SHERLOCK: Intelligence, planning.

MYCROFT: Clearly. But more importantly …?

SHERLOCK: The Mayfly Man.
