Answer:

Billy.

Explanation:

The name of the young boy employed by Sherlock Holmes as a page boy was Billy. He plays just a minor character in the Sherlock Holmes series.

The character of Billy can be seen most prominently in the stories "Valley of Fear", "The Problem of Thor Bridge", "The Mazarin Stone" where he even played a significant role in the arrest of the villain. He plays a much more significant character/ role in three plays by the author Arthur Conan Doyle. The three plays on Sherlock Holmes are "Sherlock Holmes, A Drama in Four Acts", "The Stonor Case" and "The Crown Diamond". He also appears in "The Painful Predicament of Sherlock Holmes", a spoof about Sherlock Holmes by William Giillette.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

D. Marlow, back in the city, finds the daily lives and concerns of his fellow citizens to be petty.

Explanation:

Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" centers around the character of Marlow who had gone to the African continent to meet Kurtz. This whole plot revolves around the occurrences of the journey.

The above passage is from the third part of the book where Marlow had returned back to Europe. He had no clear memory of how he got back but he is also not appreciative of the European people and their worries. He exclaims that this city looks like a tombstone, filled with "<em>people hurrying through the streets to filch a little money from each other, to devour their infamous cookery, to gulp their unwholesome beer, to dream their insignificant and silly dreams</em>". To him, their daily lives and concerns are so petty as compared to the things he had experienced and seen with his very own eyes.
