That is, words or phrases that might seem odd yet vaguely familiar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For instance, when Watson needs to educate himself on the finer points of Chinese pottery in "The Illustrious Client," he tells us</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“I drove to the London Library in St. James’s Square, put the matter to my friend Lomax, the sub-librarian, and departed to my rooms with a goodly volume under my arm.”</div></blockquote></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Lest you think that a sublibrarian is a person of letters attending to the reading needs of those in the navy, the matter is made clear to us via Donald Redmond in <i>A Study in Sources</i>:</div><blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">“A sub-librarian in English parlance is the deputy head, in fact the active operating head of a library... [The London Library] was then one of the few major libraries where a member could ask the staff a question such as Watson's and receive the immediate, thorough assistance he did.”</div></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So that means when we hear of "Arthur Charpentier, sub-lieutenant in Her Majesty’s navy" in <i>A Study in Scarlet</i>, he was a deputy lieutenant.
