"The Adventure of the Abbey Grange" is the only work in the Sherlock Holmes Canon in which Holmes says, "The game is afoot", a phrase which has become strongly associated with the character due to its frequent use in adaptations of Sherlock Holmes stories to other media. The story has been adapted for radio and television.
