• light-hearted
• a novel in 3
volumes

13. “Emma has been meaning to read more ever since
she was twelve years old. I have seen a great many
lists of her drawing up at various times of books that
she meant to read regularly through—and very good
lists they were—very well chosen, and very neatly
arranged—sometimes alphabetically, and
sometimes by some other rule. The list she drew up
when only fourteen—I remember thinking it did her
judgment so much credit, that I preserved it some
time; and I dare say she may have made out a very
good list now. But I have done with expecting any
course of steady reading from Emma. She will never
submit to any thing requiring industry and patience,
and a subjection of the fancy to the understanding.”

15. ‘The Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes’ by Arthur Conan Doyle
• detective
• witty
• full of twists and
turns
• a collection of
short stories

16. “To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I
have seldom heard him mention her under any other
name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates
the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any
emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions,
and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold,
precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take
it, the most perfect reasoning and observing
machine that the world has seen.... And yet there
was but one woman to him, and that woman was the
late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable
memory.”
