Nostromo?

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The character Jack Croker seems an interesting reflection (a simplified and purified one) of Giovanni Battista Fidanza, the eponymous Nostromo of Joseph Conrad’s novel, also of 1904. I don’t know which appeared first.

Has anyone commented on this? Was the character just one familiar in maritime stories of the era? Rt3368 (talk) 21:41, 29 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

The game is afoot.

There's no mention in this article nor does a google search reveal that the source of the Holmes quote of the Shakespeare quote, "The game is afoot" comes from this Holmes story. Wikiuser847843636 (talk) 20:50, 28 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
