Holmes had received a telegram while we sat at our lunch, and he had scribbled a reply. He made no remark, but the matter remained in his thoughts, for he stood in front of the fire afterwards with a thoughtful face, smoking his pipe, and casting an occasional glance at the message. Suddenly he turned upon me with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. \"I suppose, Watson, we must look upon you as a man of letters,\" said he. \"How do you define the word 'grotesque'?\" \"Strange-remarkable,\" I suggested. He shook his head at my definition. \"There is surely something more than that,\" said he; \"some underlying suggestion of the tragic and the terrible. If you cast your mind back to some of those narratives with which you have afflicted a long-suffering public, you will recognize how often the grotesque has deepened into the criminal. Think of that little affair of the red-headed men. That was grotesque enough in the outset, and yet it ended in a desperate attempt at robbery. Or, again, there was that most grotesque affair of the five orange pips, which let straight to a murderous conspiracy. The word puts me on the alert.\"  ...]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Conan Doyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1484816684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781484816684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.08d","brand":"Arthur Conan Doyle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489271795967,"sku":"9781484816684","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4ad0494-fb50-4872-ab18-4191cdadd1d8.jpg?v=1736953064","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/his-last-bow-arthur-conan-doyle-9781484816684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
