The Daily Mail (Brisbane) (10 january 1921, p. 6)

Arthur Conan Doyle seems to be once again most popularly referred to as Dr. Doyle, at least, so I gather from the press notices:

When Doyle, the writer, first essayed

The literary Moil

Scarce any name at all he made—

Just Arthur Conan Doyle

But as success his efforts crowned,

Rewarding splendid toil,

His name expanded at a bound

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Now that his work, be what it may

Is in the occult coil,

His other title gets some play—

He's Dr. Conan Doyle.
