“I do try to emulate Mr Holmes,” Stanley Hopkins said dolefully to me one evening as we sat before the fire.  Holmes was currently out pursuing an investigation.  “Even though Esme tells me she likes me just as I am.”  He blushed, even though they are now engaged he still colours when he mentions her name.

“Holmes has many attributes that are worth copying,” I replied, “but I do not think Esme is marrying you for any of those.  Indeed, I doubt they provide a good basis for marriage.”

The arrival of Holmes smelling strongly of fish confirmed my opinion.
