Quotation from: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Written by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle


"The man who wrote it was presumably well to do," I remarked,
endeavouring to imitate my companion's processes. "Such paper
could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly
strong and stiff."


"Peculiar--that is the very word," said Holmes. "It is not an
English paper at all. Hold it up to the light."


I did so, and saw a large "E" with a small "g," a "P," and a
large "G" with a small "t" woven into the texture of the paper.
