 Pontefract Recollections of Frank Holmes
When my grandfather, Richard Holmes, the historian, came to Pontefract from Worcester in 1862, and took over a printing and stationery business which had been established in 1787, he found the premises – house at the front over the shop, works up the yard at the back – were next door but one to Gillygate.
Grandma Holmes, by the way, used to tell with pride of an occasion when she went to Birmingham to satisfy herself as to her son’s circumstances.
Those from Baghill, having walked up the hill to the town were greeted by numerous wagonettes with raucous drivers shouting "course way six" – an expression I heard a great many times before I discovered it to be an invitation to race goers to ride to the course for a fee of sixpence.

 Cambridge Sketches - Doctor Holmes (by Frank Preston Stearns)
Holmes did not come before the public until years after her death; and then perhaps it might not have happened but for James Russell Lowell and the Atlantic.
Doctor Holmes was always liberally inclined, and ready to welcome such social and political improvements as time might bring; but he never joined any of the liberal or reformatory movements of his time.
Doctor Holmes ridiculed phrenology as an attempt to estimate the money in a safe by the knobs on the outside, but he evidently was a believer in physiognomy, and he exemplified this in his own case.

 Reason magazine -- May 1998
According to Frank, Holmes chose the "strategy" of "claiming that his love of the lowbrow article in question [string-laden pop] is as heartfelt and genuine and un-ironic as that felt for it by the demographic for whom it was originally made."
Vaughn remembers talking with Frank when he accompanied the band for three days of touring but says she had no idea that irony would be a central theme of the story.
Frank's point, he says, was not that Holmes didn't like Yum-Yum's kind of music but that any intelligent person must have a relationship with popular culture that is multi-leveled: Someone who collects Elvis kitsch might not really like Elvis; but obviously, on some level, he feels an attraction.

Colonel Holmes was credited with shooting down the Betty that crashed offshore, but controversy erupted about which of his fellow pilots, Rex Barber or Tom Lanphier, shot down the Betty carrying Yamamoto.

 Gold Fingers: Frank Holmes captures the glitter of precious metals through stocks, not commodities.
Holmes expects them to climb to $500 in the near term, perhaps reaching $1,000 an ounce by the end of the decade.
Holmes prefers investing in stocks to investing in commodities directly since there are bigger price moves and greater leverage.
Holmes made a major bet on copper-gold companies last year because "China was consuming huge amounts of commodities to build highways and skyscrapers." It was a smart move on his part: Gold went from $300 to $454 in 2004, while copper more than doubled in price from $0.65 to $1.40.

If Frank's take on this genre is new to you, I might mention that Frank's Holmes, although quite true to Conan Doyle's original, is more like Doc Savage and The Shadow in relying heavily on a small core of highly specialized assistants--- in this novel, one of them is the legendary safe cracker Jimmy Valentine!
