Trivia

The texture for the Western Literature variation of the book, showcasing the excerpt

• The Western Literature variation of the book features an excerpt from A Study in Scarlet, a detective novel by Arthur Conan Doyle. It contains the following text:

"[...]me it had nothing but misfortune and disaster. I was removed from my brigade and attached to the Berkshires, with whom I served at the fatal battle of Maiwand. There I was struck on the shoulder by a Jezail bullet, which shattered the bone and grazed the subclavian artery. I should have fallen into the hands of the murderous Ghazis had it not been for the devotion and courage shown by Murray, my orderly, who threw me across a pack-horse, and succeeded in bringing me safely to the British lines."
