whose cab he had engaged. When he was about to pay his fare, the cabman said:
“If you please, sir, I should prefer a ticket to your lecture.”
Conan Doyle laughed. “Tell me,” he said, how you knew who I was and I’ll give
you tickets for your whole family.”
“Thank you, sir,” was the answer. “On the side of your travelling-bag is your
name – Conan Doyle.”
