Changed line(s) 120 (click to see context) from:
* HardboiledDetective: Lestrade, despite being an Inspector of Scotland Yard rather than a private eye, fits this trope. He has permission to carry a gun, is quite cynical, solves mysteries through dogged persistence (in a "workmanlike way", to use his words), wears clothing that are cut slightly too big for him (to allow ease of movement in a sudden fight). His NiceHat is a bowler rather than a fedora, though.
