Leonard Goldberg, in the voice of Joanna Blalock (the daughter of Sherlock Holmes*):

Greed has no end. It is like a bottomless well that cannot be filled. And at time the wealthiest are the worst offenders.

Goldberg, Leonard, The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes (New York: Minotaur, 2017), p. 252.


_______________

*Purported daughter.

William S. Baring-Gould proved conclusively that Nero Wolfe was the son of Sherlock Holmes, conceived in circumstances incompatible with the story of Joanna Blalock. Nevertheless, Goldberg’s pastiche is still a ripping good yarn.

David Hamblin (as the Englishman):

London is quite the melting pot these days, . . . except of course, everyone refuses to melt. Is man meant to live separately, as all the bloodletting around the world would lead us to believe, or is man meant to melt?

All politicians’ children sit on the floor. There was a picture of Reedy (a politician in the story–ed.) and his family grouped around him on the floor.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
