"To

the

man

who

loves

art

for

its

own

sake,"

remarked

Sherlock

Holmes,

tossing

aside

the

advertisement

sheet

of

The

Daily

Telegraph,

"it

is

frequently

in

its

least

important

and

lowliest

manifestations

that

the

keenest

pleasure

is

to

be

derived.

It

is

pleasant

to

me

to

observe,

Watson,

that

you

have

so

far

grasped

this

truth

that

in

these

little

records

of

our

cases

which

you

have

been

good

enough

to

draw

up,

and,

I

am

bound

to

say,

occasionally

to

embellish,

you

have

given

prominence

not

so

much

to

the

many

causes

celebres

and

sensational

trials

in

which

I

have

figured

but

rather

to

those

incidents

which

may

have

been

trivial

in

themselves,

but

which

have

given

room

for

those

faculties

of

deduction

and

of

logical

synthesis

which

I

have

made

my

special

province."
