Leonard Goldberg, in the voice of Joanna Blalock (the daughter of Sherlock Holmes*):

Greed has no end. It is like a bottomless well that cannot be filled. And at time the wealthiest are the worst offenders.

Goldberg, Leonard, The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes (New York: Minotaur, 2017), p. 252.

*Purported daughter.

William S. Baring-Gould proved conclusively that Nero Wolfe was the son of Sherlock Holmes, conceived in circumstances incompatible with the story of Joanna Blalock. Nevertheless, Goldberg’s pastiche is still a ripping good yarn.
