<br />
[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]], speaking at the Stoll Film Company's dinner at the Trocadero, complained that some readers confused the personality of the author with that of the principal character he created.<br />
<br />
<q>"An attack made on me some years ago attributed to me, in clever doggerel, [[Sherlock Holmes]]' 'vices of self-conceit and self-complacency,'"</q> said [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur]], <q>"and I replied with the following:—</q><br />
<br />
: <q>"Pray master this, my esteemed commentator.</q><br />
: <q>That the created is not the creator.</q><br />
: <q>Just grasp this fact with your cerebral tentacle.</q><br />
: <q>That the doll and its maker are never identical."</q><br />
<br />
[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir Arthur]] said that after-lecturing in New York he read in the papers that "As the author advanced to deliver his lecture a thrill of disappointment ran through the assembly." The audience had expected to see a cadaverous-looking person with marks of cocaine injections all over him.<br />
