Ellery and Richard Queen are both great detectives. Also, do Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji qualify as proper detectives?

Yup. _ _ _ / e _ _ _ t _ _ / h _ _ / _ _ _ _ / t i _ e s / _ i _ / h e / _ _ _ _ / _ _ t / _ _ / t h e / _ i _ _ _ _?

Yes. _ _ _ / e _ _ _ t _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / t i _ e s / _ i _ / _ e / _ _ _ _ / _ _ t / _ _ / t _ e / _ i _ _ _ _?

Yes. _ _ _ / e _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ i _ e s / _ i _ / _ e / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ e / _ i _ _ _ _?

Here is a new one, then: _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _?

"I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof."?

R?

A?

Is there an "e"?

Yes, that is quite true.

Yes, that is probably true. Thank you very much.

That is probably a good idea.

Thank you for your help. Bakerstreet Irregular, I think we are talking at cross-purposes.

Sounds probable. Come to think of it, one of our princesses is named "Benedikte", which may explain the name's popularity in my country.

Yes, it is pronounced with four syllables. Have you not? That is strange, considering the religious roots of the name.

"Benedict" certainly is a somewhat rare name, but a female form of the name - Benedicte/Benedikte - is not uncommon in my country.
