B maybe?
-----------------------------------
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

My next guess is M. Because even with two words completed this isn't ringing a bell.

Re: Sherlock Quotes Hangman
The phrase is not pretty much catchy, so I guess it is a bit tricky
TWO / _ E _ R _ , ELEVEN / MONTH _ / _ N _ / _ O _ R / _ _ _ _ .
Incorrect: B

Edit:
Just saw Little Weed's comment now.
You are correct! Well done!
