? Mentioned in ? References in classic literature
 
With his typical face, clean shaven on lip and chin, with a firm mouth, a strong jaw, a steady eye, and two little white fluffs of whiskers, he could never be taken for anything but what he was, a high-class British medical consultant of the age of fifty, or perhaps just a year or two older.
Having an English job to do, they took into partnership, as any foreign criminal could do, this great consultant in crime.
He is a lecturer and a consultant, but he does not care for general practice, which distracts him from his literary work.
