Shadows Over Baker Street ed. Michael Reeves and John Pelan

"My dear Lestrade. Please give me some credit for having a brain. The corpse is obviously not that of a man -- the colour of his blood, the number of limbs, the eyes, the position of the face -- all these things bespeak the blood royal ... I would hazard he is an heir, perhaps -- no, second to the throne -- in one of the German principalities."
..."This is Prince Franz Drago of Bohemia. He was here in Albion as a guest of Her Majesty Victoria. Here for a holiday and a change of air ..."
"For the theatres, the whores and the gambling tables, you mean." ('A Study in Emerald', Neil Gaiman: p.8)
