Acrostic
Surely never surpassed in brilliance, in genius,
He is the consummate detective, the epitome. Largely self-
Educated in haemoglobin, tobacco ash, plaster of paris, the agony
column, and innumerable histories of sensational crime, this acute
Reasoner yet
Loves wry humor, good friendship, strong smoke, fine dining, and the
truly
Outré to complement the recherche. He is the product of art in
the blood--and theatre, and music, and philosophy. . .
Case after case he pursues to relieve the commonplace dullness of
existence, whether his client be a scandalous
King or a beautiful young Violet.

&

Just an average, modest,
Ordinary citizen of England, whom
His friend would hardly accuse of being observant or original
Nevertheless, in heart, in loyalty, in honesty and strength of
character, he remains an ever-chivalrous, and quiet,

Hero.

In a smart, ache, tingle,
Lizzie went her way;
Knew not was it night or day;
Sprang up the bank, tore through the furze,
Threaded copse and dingle,
And heard her penny jingle
Bouncing in her purse, --
Its bounce was music to her ear.
She ran and ran
As if she feared some goblin man
Dogged her with gibe or curse
Or something worse:

(The goblin market- Christina Rosetti)
