"Pearls Are A Nuisance" first appeared in Dime Detective,
April, 1939. Its first appearance in a collection was in
1945's Five Sinister Characters.
"Trouble Is My Business" first appeared in Dime Detective,
August, 1939. Its first collection appearance was also in
Five Sinister Characters in 1945.
"The Pencil" is harder. It first appeared, as "Marlowe Takes
on The Syndicate," in five issues of The London Daily Mail
running from 4/6/59 to 4/10/59. Its first appearance as "The
Pencil" was its inclusion in the collection The Smell of Fear
(1965), which was followed three months later by its first
magazine appearance (using that title) in the 9/65 issue of
Argosy. The story has also appeared as "Philip Marlowe's Last
Case" (Ellery Queen MM, 1/62) and "Wrong Pigeon" (Manhunt,
2/69).
