Dipping into The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes as a break from Dragon Kings' Souls. Read The Adventure of the Yellow Face, which is simultaneously 'GO! Conan Doyle' and 'Oh Conan Doyle NO' ie amazingly advanced for its period (or a good fifty years after its period, if not more) and still oh dear oh dear oh dear.

Which is indeed a Neat Trick.
