I
would gladly barge in this address, and nothing would please me more
than being greeted by a man in his trademark deerstalker cap, pipe
and cape-backed overcoat. He would then proceed to tell me (although
never having met me before that day) what I did for a living, and
probably deduce why I was there to see him. I would be surprised,
yes, but that would not be unanticipated, for I would be talking to
none other than Sherlock Holmes, perhaps the greatest detective ever
created in English literature.
