I will endeavour to show that, though heredity and habit based on memory go about in different dresses, yet if we catch them separately for they are never seen together and strip them there is not a mole nor strawberry-mark nor trick nor leer of the one, but we find it in the other also. What are the moles and strawberry-marks of habitual action, or actions remembered and thus repeated?
Greenleaf went directly to Easelmann's room, opened the door, and spread his arms. "Have you a strawberry-mark?" he shouted. "No." "Then you are my long-lost brother! Come to my arms!" Easelmann laughed long and loudly. "Forgive my nonsense, Easelmann. I know I am beside myself and ready for any extravagance, I am so full of joy.
Then, with a merry smile, the young stranger holds out his hand to John Bull, and exclaims, "Behold, here is my arm! I bare it before your eyes, and here it is it is the strawberry-mark; come to my bosom, I am your long-lost brother." It was an incalculable service which Irving rendered in renewing a common feeling between England and America.
But I saw at once that he was of my height, five feet four and a half. He had black hair, worn off by his hat. So have and have not I. He stooped in walking. So do I. His hands were large, and mine. And choicest gift of Fate in all he had, not "a strawberry-mark on his left arm," but a cut from a juvenile brickbat over his right eye, slightly affecting the play of that eyebrow.

So stunned were my senses by the extraordinary events, that, had he cried out, "Come to my arms, my long-lost brother!" or were a strawberry-mark actually found, I could not have been surprised. As it was, his frenzied tugs at the lapel of my coat threatened its immediate destruction, and my spinal column ached under his demoniac slaps on the back, before I gasped out my congratulations.
And to this day a sudden change from gloom to exhilaration is a popular and effective incident as when, at the end of a melodrama, the handcuffs are transferred from the wrists of the virtuous naval lieutenant to those of the wicked baronet, and, through the disclosure of a strawberry-mark on his left arm, the lieutenant is recognized as the long-lost heir to a dukedom and £50,000 a year.
Antony said nothing, and Bill went on happily to himself, "I perceive from the strawberry-mark on your shirt-front that you had strawberries for dessert. Holmes, you astonish me. Tut, tut, you know my methods. Where is the tobacco? The tobacco is in the Persian slipper. Can I leave my practice for a week? I can." Antony smiled and went on smoking.
