"Our ignorance can be divided into problems and mysteries. When we face a problem, we may not know its solution, but we have insight, increasing knowledge, and an inkling of what we are looking for.

The heavier the lashing of the rain and the ghastlier the details, the better the flavour seems to be." - Dorothy L. Sayers

Since Collins, the best heroes of English detective fiction have been, like Sergeant Cuff, fallible.

What if one were up there, drifting about among suns and feeling the tails of comets fan one's forehead! How small the earth was and how puny the people; a Norway of two million provincial souls and a mortgage bank to help feed them! What was life worth at such a rate? You elbowed yourself ahead in the sweat of your face for a few mortal years, only to perish all the same, all the same!
