OneThe girl was standing in the middle of the cobbled marketplace. She had been there for hours whilst the busy market bustled around her.

FOREWORD
FOR MANY years Salvador Dali has been telling us about the diary he is in the habit of keeping. Though tempted at first to call it My Re-Secret Life, as a sequel to The Secret Life of Salvador Dali by Salvador Dali, he has chosen to go on calling it Diary of a Genius, the more apt title...
ForewordThe Hound of the Baskervilles is, I suppose, the most widely remembered of all Conan Doyle's accounts of Holmes and Watson at work.

ONESometimes I think about how odd it would be to catch a glimpse of the future, a quick view of events lying in store for us at some undisclosed date.
