so i saw that Supreme Court Refuses Appeal, 50 Sherlock Holmes Works Officially in Public Domain

and so thus: existential detective novels.

SAMPLE OUTPUT:

"Young lady in question very well. Tender mother nature wished to see him when she graciously brought him." said Inspector Holmes to Dr. Watson with a light hint of sassiness.

Watson orders takeout from the pizza place and sighs as he considers: "He does it once or sometimes twice a day?"

"Hardware company. his knees were drawn up his head hung at a dreadful." said Dr. Watson to Inspector Holmes with no regard for their surroundings.

"Mr. might go into the hallway in front of them from eight oclock till eleven in the. On loathing and so i > inwardly attributed the same feeling to everyone." said Inspector Holmes to Dr. Watson with an urgent plea to stop global warming.

Starts with a 4gram markov chain made out of a few sherlock holmes novels + a mix of Sartre, Dostoevsky, and Kafka. Progressively degrades down to a 1gram chain by the end.

Those are hard-coded as part of the connective-tissue. The quotes are markov'd; the rest is templated.
