Read the excerpt from “The Red-Headed League.”

Sherlock Holmes had sprung out and seized the man by the collar. The other dived down the hole, and I heard the sound of tearing cloth as Jones clutched at his pant leg. The light flashed upon the barrel of a revolver, but Holmes’s hunting crop came down on the man’s wrist, and the pistol clinked upon the stone floor.
“It’s no use, John Clay,” said Holmes blandly. “You have no chance at all.”
“So I see,” the other answered coolly. “I fancy that my pal is all right, though I see you have got his coat-tails.”
“Inspector Jones has three men waiting for him at the door,” said Holmes.
“Oh, indeed? You seem to have thought of everything. I must compliment you.”
“And I you,” Holmes answered. “Your red-headed idea was very clever.”

Read the excerpt from the common sense of bicycling: bicycling for ladies. the bicycle is capable of such high speed that there is a strong temptation to ride so fast as to cause over exertion or excessive perspiration. on the other hand some people ride too slow, causing a zigzag and uncertain movement. while exercising reasonable caution, be a fearless rider. when you come to a steep hill, if the road is clear, let it go as fast as it will. if you rid yourself of that ghost of fear, coasting is one of the greatest delights of cycling. which is the best paraphrase of the text?
