...maternity which makes her approve of 1) an African baby in a bag, 2) a hippopotababy waddling after its mother, 3) a small shaggy ape which seems to be an orphan.

The final test of her imperturbability comes when she is kidnapped by a yodeling athlete in a loin cloth who swings her up to his nest...

...Sherlock Holmes, that perhaps saved the life of an innocent woman, were described by Dr. Magrath. During a drinking party in the town of Mansfield, a man by the name of Cobb was found mortally wounded from the discharge of a shot-gun in his cellar. Cobb did not die at once, but lived to write in a legible hand "Emily did it," on the back of an envelop which he had taken from his pocket.
