The word “carbuncle” is rarely used in modern Britain. It did receive a boost in popularity a few decades ago when Prince Charles, in a much-quoted remark, referred to an extension to the National Gallery in London as a “monstrous carbuncle.” Online dictionaries suggest the sole meaning of the word is that of a boil or a pustule, but I have an old paper dictionary that provides an additional meaning of “red precious stone (formerly of many kinds e.g., ruby; now garnet cut in boss shape)”. Mar 1, 245pm ~~ This 1893 piece by Conan Doyle is set at a time when Londoners were moving out of the city and into newly built suburb tracts. Two elderly maiden ladies have had to sell their last bit of open land, directly across from their house. Now it has been developed with three homes that will share a common tennis court. Naturally the maiden ladies peep out the window to see what type of neighbors they will be dealing with, but we mostly focus on those neighbors during the story. Doyle was a staunch supporter of compulsory vaccination and wrote several articles advocating the practice and denouncing the views of anti-vaccinators. [31] [32]

Doyle is often referred to as "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle" or "Conan Doyle", implying that "Conan" is part of a compound surname rather than a middle name. His baptism entry in the register of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh, gives "Arthur Ignatius Conan" as his given names and "Doyle" as his surname. It also names Michael Conan as his godfather. [1] The catalogues of the British Library and the Library of Congress treat "Doyle" alone as his surname. [2]a b Wingett, Matt (2016). Conan Doyle and the Mysterious World of Light, 1887–1920.

Beyond the City is a perfectly enjoyable if undercooked read, over before it had really begun. Mrs. Westmascott was by far the best thing about it, short-skirted, drinking and smoking away like a harbinger of the 1960's. While living in Southsea, the seaside resort near Portsmouth, Doyle played football as a goalkeeper for Portsmouth Association Football Club, an amateur side, under the pseudonym A. C. Smith. [47]
