‘Watson, could you read this and give me your opinion,’ said Sherlock Holmes as he handed me a slim monograph entitled “The Dynamics of an Asteroid”.
The item in question had been published two years prior by The Oxford University Press.
‘James Moriarty, of Durham University? I’ve never heard of him. Should I have? This isn’t stuff of the Strand. It’s academic,’ I settled in to read the introduction. ‘Well beyond my ken. Why do you want my opinion?’
‘The solar system is your department.’
‘I thought the fair sex was my department.’
‘You, my dear fellow, can have both!’
.oOOo.
