He takes my mind from better things." His mother responded, "You won't! You can't! You mustn't!".[31] In an attempt to deflect publishers' demands for more Holmes stories, he raised his price to a level intended to discourage them, but found they were willing to pay even the large sums he asked.[29] As a result, he became one of the best-paid authors of his time."
Source-wikipediaI had to supress my laughter when I read the above part. Poor man, though I'm glad he continued sherlock xD

I had also heard that even after offering a large sum Doyle refused to write more SH stories. But when an editor of a magazine infuriated him by saying that Doyle was no more capable of continuing SH series, he took it as a challenge and wrote The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
