=== The Mazarin Stone (1921) ===

* [[Dr. Watson]] was welcomed by the fresh and smiling face of Billy the young but very wise and tactful page, who had helped a little to fill up the gap of loneliness and isolation which surrounded the saturnine figure of the great detective ([[MAZA]] {{refcanon|MAZA|3}}).

* Billy managed the curtain and revealed the [[Sherlock Holmes]] effigy ([[MAZA]] {{refcanon|MAZA|45}}).
