However, Holmes is generally more positive about Lestrade in later stories. In "The Adventure of the Cardboard Box", Holmes remarks that Lestrade's tenacity "has brought him to the top at Scotland Yard".

Poster drawing for "Piano Study" On them followed other calendars, other title - pages, other covers, and posters. One advertising a piano course was a charcoal drawing of a demurely attentive boy and girl. Another for a linen sale set forth, in an admirable combination of a few colors, a mother in a white morning robe buttoning her little girl's starched frock beside an open bureau drawer wherein piles of embroidered garments could be seen. The two dainty figures were in themselves winning, but gathered artistic force from the child's carroty tresses against the pink-striped wall- paper, the flowered tester and hangings, the rich red brown of the old mahogany furniture.

Ludlow, Fitz Hugh The Heart of the Continent 1870, p. 309 He couldn’t believe that a pair of co-wives “could sit there so demurely looking at their own and each other's babies without jumping up to tear each other's hair and scratch each other's eyes out... It would have relieved my mind... to have seen that happy family clawing each other like tigers.”Ludlow, Fitz Hugh “First Impressions of Mormondom” The Golden Era 20 March 1864 His impressions of the Mormons came when Utah was seen by many of his readers back home as rebellious and dangerous as those states in the Confederacy, with which the Union was then involved in the American Civil War.

When Priam sends Paris to Greece in a 14th-century work, Priam is dressed in the mold of Charlemagne, and Paris is dressed demurely, but in Greece, he adopts the flashier style, with multicolored clothing and fashionable shoes, cut in lattice-work—signs of a seducer in the era. Historical figures reappeared, reworked, in romance. The entire Matter of France derived from known figures, and suffered somewhat because their descendants had an interest in the tales that were told of their ancestors, unlike the Matter of Britain. Richard Coeur de Lion reappeared in romance, endowed with a fairy mother who arrived in a ship with silk sails and departed when forced to behold the sacrament, bare-handed combat with a lion, magical rings, and prophetic dreams.

Both Squier's older fans and the music press reacted demurely to the Squier-Steinman team up, but since Squier admired Steinman's work on Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell - which he had described as "the most passionate and exciting rock record of our time" - and Steinman himself was willing to work again with a rock band, Squier stuck with him. Steinman showed great enthusiasm for the project and he got well along with Squier and his band, despite his role in the studio being significantly smaller than usually. The resulting album was a departure from Squier's typical guitar-heavy hard rock into a more keyboard oriented style, with hints of Steinman's wagnerian producing approach. At the time Signs of Life finally arrived in late July 1984, Squier was at the very peak of his career.
