A funny story circulated recently about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. Doyle clearly told of a time when he climbed into a    1    in Paris. Before he could    2     a word, the driver turned to him and asked, “Where can I     3     you, Mr. Doyle?”

Doyle was    4    . He asked the driver if he had ever seen him before.

“No, sir,” the driver responded. “I have    5    seen you before.” Then he    6    : “This morning’s paper had a story about you being on     7     in Marseilles. This is the taxi stand where people who return from Marseilles always arrive. Your    8    color tells me you have been on vacation. The    9     spot on your right index finger suggests to me that you are a  writer. Your clothing is very English, and not French.    10    up all those pieces of information, I    11    that you are Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.”

“This is truly amazing!” the writer    12    with excitement. “You are very like my    13    creation, Sherlock Holmes!”

 “There’s one other thing,” the driver said.

 “What’s that?”

 “Your    14     is on the front of your suitcase.”
