 MG> What do these numbers refer to (175/405, etc.)?
The first set of numbers refers to the page I'm on, the second to the total
number of pages in the book.  It's a shorthand way of saying how far I am in
the book, in case someone wants to ask me something about the work.
So far, I'm finding the book interesting--don't know for sure whether it's
the plot or Holmes or perhaps both.
I jumped the book ahead of Wilkie Collins' THE WOMAN IN WHITE because I
discovered that the mystery bookstore has a mystery book discussion group
that meets monthly.  The next meeting is Jan. 12 and this is the book.  I
thought I would attend to see what it's like.  The book for February is the
sequel.

Think I once read something similar to this.
