| First Sentence: |
"My dear fellow," said Sherlock Holmes, as we sat on either side of the fire in his lodgings at Baker Street, "life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man can invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at a queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to most outre results, it would make all fiction, with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions, most stale and unprofitable." (The People's Home Journal (Lupton) edition) |
| Last Sentence: |
"If I tell her she will not believe me. You may remember the old Persian saying, 'There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a delusion from a woman.' There is much sense in Hafiz as in Horance, and as much knowledge of the world." (The People's Home Journal (Lupton) edition) |
