daughter voice mind
The words given voice inside the mind are not always clear, however; they can be gentle and elliptical, what the prophets call the bat qol, the daughter of the voice of God, she who speaks in whispers and half-seen images.
worry mind mysterious
However, the mind has an amazing ability to continue worrying away at a problem all on its own, so that when the "Eureka!" comes it is as mysterious as if it were God speaking.
mind insult argument
Using insult instead of argument is the sign of a small mind.
great holmes interested kids less mary number russell sherlock
I have been very interested in the number of kids who have read the Sherlock Holmes books after reading the Mary Russell books. That's great. That's more or less how I rediscovered the Holmes books.
holmes sherlock whenever
Whenever I go to England, I'm on pilgrimage. I walk the countryside around Eastbourne because that's where Sherlock Holmes retired.
inn later slept
I slept in the bedroom used by Sabine Baring-Gould's wife when I was researching 'The Moor,' and later the Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor.
madness
Eccentricty had flowered into madness.
library made reader
Libraries made me - as a reader, as a writer, and as a human being.

Pride is a sweetmeat, to be savoured in small pieces; it makes for a poor feast.

The period after the First World War was an extremely different time, so that Sherlock Holmes would have been a different person following 1918 than he was during the Victorian era.

In silent films, quite complex plots are built around action, setting, and the actors gestures and facial expressions, with a very few storyboards to nail down specific plot points.
aversion machinery exception
Blogs are the main exception I make in my aversion to complex machinery.
thinking knowing people
I think very few people are completely normal really, deep down in their private lives. It all depends on a combination of circumstances. If all the various cosmic thingummys fuse at the same moment, and the right spark is struck, there's no knowing what one mightn't do.
assumption possibility careless
Only the careless leave a possibility unattended due to assumptions.
