I had Sherlock Holmes in mind, but I just checked and the word he actually used was _diggings_, not _digs_. I’ll pass on the DQ. Rupert of Hentzau , in the novel of that name (the sequel to _The Prisoner of Zenda_). Harry Potter, who wasn’t a gypsy, grew up in Surrey. Heathcliff (_Wuthering Heights_) was a gypsy - or at least looked like one - and did grow up in Yorkshire. DQ: Story set in what at the time was a contemporary setting? ---

Previous IQs: Were you a child physician on TV? - Yes, Doogie Howser. Did you play that character? - Yes, NPH. Have you played an unctuous personal assistant, a gambler and a top national security official? - Don’t think Mark Harmon has done all of these roles. I was thinking of Philip Seymour Hoffman, in _The Big Lebowski, Hard Eight_ and _A Most Wanted Man_. DQ: First appeared in a novel or short story? IQs: Did you admit to using the same history essay over and over? Did Jim Carrey mock the actor who played you? Did you ask your country to look after your mistress, but it didn’t? ---
