<s> DECEIT ACCORDING TO HIM WAS AN IMPOSSIBILITY IN THE CASE OF ONE TRAINED TO OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS </s>
<s> HIS CONCLUSIONS WERE AS INFALLIBLE AS SO MANY PROPOSITIONS OF EUCLID </s>
<s> SO STARTLING WOULD HIS RESULTS APPEAR TO THE UNINITIATED THAT UNTIL THEY LEARNED THE PROCESSES BY WHICH HE HAD ARRIVED AT THEM THEY MIGHT WELL CONSIDER HIM AS A NECROMANCER </s>
<s> FROM A DROP OF WATER SAID THE WRITER A LOGICIAN COULD INFER THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ATLANTIC OR A NIAGARA WITHOUT HAVING SEEN OR HEARD OF ONE OR THE OTHER </s>
<s> SO ALL LIFE IS A GREAT CHAIN THE NATURE OF WHICH IS KNOWN WHENEVER WE ARE SHOWN A SINGLE LINK OF IT </s>
<s> LIKE ALL OTHER ARTS THE SCIENCE OF DEDUCTION AND ANALYSIS IS ONE WHICH CAN ONLY BE ACQUIRED BY LONG AND PATIENT STUDY NOR IS LIFE LONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW ANY MORTAL TO ATTAIN THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PERFECTION IN IT </s>
<s> BEFORE TURNING TO THOSE MORAL AND MENTAL ASPECTS OF THE MATTER WHICH PRESENT THE GREATEST DIFFICULTIES LET THE INQUIRER BEGIN BY MASTERING MORE ELEMENTARY PROBLEMS </s>
<s> LET HIM ON MEETING A FELLOW MORTAL LEARN AT A GLANCE TO DISTINGUISH THE HISTORY OF THE MAN AND THE TRADE OR PROFESSION TO WHICH HE BELONGS </s>
<s> PUERILE AS SUCH AN EXERCISE MAY SEEM IT SHARPENS THE FACULTIES OF OBSERVATION AND TEACHES ONE WHERE TO LOOK AND WHAT TO LOOK FOR </s>
<s> BY A MAN'S FINGER NAILS BY HIS COAT SLEEVE BY HIS BOOTS BY HIS TROUSER KNEES BY THE CALLOSITIES OF HIS FOREFINGER AND THUMB BY HIS EXPRESSION BY HIS SHIRTCUFFS BY EACH OF THESE THINGS A MAN'S CALLING IS PLAINLY REVEALED </s>

<s> WHAT IS IT ASKED SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>
<s> WHY THIS ARTICLE I SAID POINTING AT IT WITH MY EGGSPOON AS I SAT DOWN TO MY BREAKFAST </s>
<s> I SEE THAT YOU HAVE READ IT SINCE YOU HAVE MARKED IT </s>
<s> I DON'T DENY THAT IT IS SMARTLY WRITTEN </s>
<s> IT IRRITATES ME THOUGH </s>
<s> IT IS EVIDENTLY THE THEORY OF SOME ARMCHAIR LOUNGER WHO EVOLVES ALL THESE NEAT LITTLE PARADOXES IN THE SECLUSION OF HIS OWN STUDY </s>
<s> IT IS NOT PRACTICAL </s>
<s> I SHOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM CLAPPED DOWN IN A THIRD CLASS CARRIAGE ON THE UNDERGROUND AND ASKED TO GIVE THE TRADES OF ALL HIS FELLOW TRAVELLERS </s>
<s> I WOULD LAY A THOUSAND TO ONE AGAINST HIM QUOTE </s>
<s> YOU WOULD LOSE YOUR MONEY HOLMES REMARKED CALMLY </s>
<s> AS FOR THE ARTICLE I WROTE IT MYSELF </s>
<s> YOU </s>
<s> YES I HAVE A TURN BOTH FOR OBSERVATION AND FOR DEDUCTION </s>
<s> THE THEORIES WHICH I HAVE EXPRESSED THERE AND WHICH APPEAR TO YOU TO BE SO CHIMERICAL ARE REALLY EXTREMELY PRACTICAL SO PRACTICAL THAT I DEPEND UPON THEM FOR MY BREAD AND CHEESE </s>
<s> QUOTE AND HOW QUOTE </s>
<s> I ASKED INVOLUNTARILY </s>
<s> WELL I HAVE A TRADE OF MY OWN </s>
<s> I SUPPOSE I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD </s>
<s> I'M A CONSULTING DETECTIVE IF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT IS </s>
<s> HERE IN LONDON WE HAVE LOTS OF GOVERNMENT DETECTIVES AND LOTS OF PRIVATE ONES </s>
<s> WHEN THESE FELLOWS ARE AT FAULT THEY COME TO ME AND I MANAGE TO PUT THEM ON THE RIGHT SCENT </s>
<s> THEY LAY ALL THE EVIDENCE BEFORE ME AND I AM GENERALLY ABLE BY THE HELP OF MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY OF CRIME TO SET THEM STRAIGHT </s>
<s> THERE IS A STRONG FAMILY RESEMBLANCE ABOUT MISDEEDS AND IF YOU HAVE ALL THE DETAILS OF A THOUSAND AT YOUR FINGER ENDS IT IS ODD IF YOU CAN'T UNRAVEL THE THOUSAND AND FIRST </s>
<s> LESTRADE IS A WELL KNOWN DETECTIVE </s>
<s> HE GOT HIMSELF INTO A FOG RECENTLY OVER A FORGERY CASE AND THAT WAS WHAT BROUGHT HIM HERE </s>
<s> AND THESE OTHER PEOPLE </s>
<s> THEY ARE MOSTLY SENT ON BY PRIVATE INQUIRY AGENCIES </s>
<s> THEY ARE ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE IN TROUBLE ABOUT SOMETHING AND WANT A LITTLE ENLIGHTENING </s>
<s> I LISTEN TO THEIR STORY THEY LISTEN TO MY COMMENTS AND THEN I POCKET MY FEE </s>
<s> QUOTE BUT DO YOU MEAN TO SAY QUOTE I SAID QUOTE THAT WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR ROOM YOU CAN UNRAVEL SOME KNOT WHICH OTHER MEN CAN MAKE NOTHING OF ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SEEN EVERY DETAIL FOR THEMSELVES QUOTE </s>
<s> QUITE SO. L. HAVE A KIND OF INTUITION THAT WAY </s>
<s> NOW AND AGAIN A CASE TURNS UP WHICH IS A LITTLE MORE COMPLEX </s>
<s> THEN I HAVE TO BUSTLE ABOUT AND SEE THINGS WITH MY OWN EYES </s>
<s> YOU SEE I HAVE A LOT OF SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE WHICH I APPLY TO THE PROBLEM AND WHICH FACILITATES MATTERS WONDERFULLY </s>
<s> THOSE RULES OF DEDUCTION LAID DOWN IN THAT ARTICLE WHICH AROUSED YOUR SCORN ARE INVALUABLE TO ME IN PRACTICAL WORK </s>
<s> OBSERVATION WITH ME IS SECOND NATURE </s>
<s> YOU APPEARED TO BE SURPRISED WHEN I TOLD YOU ON OUR FIRST MEETING THAT YOU HAD COME FROM AFGHANISTAN </s>
<s> YOU WERE TOLD NO DOUBT </s>
<s> NOTHING OF THE SORT </s>
<s> I KNEW YOU CAME FROM AFGHANISTAN </s>
<s> FROM LONG HABIT THE TRAIN OF THOUGHTS RAN SO SWIFTLY THROUGH MY MIND THAT I ARRIVED AT THE CONCLUSION WITHOUT BEING CONSCIOUS OF INTERMEDIATE STEPS </s>
<s> THERE WERE SUCH STEPS HOWEVER </s>
<s> THE TRAIN OF REASONING RAN HERE IS A GENTLEMAN OF A MEDICAL TYPE BUT WITH THE AIR OF A MILITARY MAN </s>
<s> CLEARLY AN ARMY DOCTOR THEN </s>
<s> HE HAS JUST COME FROM THE TROPICS FOR HIS FACE IS DARK AND THAT IS NOT THE NATURAL TINT OF HIS SKIN FOR HIS WRISTS ARE FAIR </s>
<s> HE HAS UNDERGONE HARDSHIP AND SICKNESS AS HIS HAGGARD FACE SAYS CLEARLY </s>
<s> HIS LEFT ARM HAS BEEN INJURED </s>
<s> HE HOLDS IT IN A STIFF AND UNNATURAL MANNER </s>
<s> WHERE IN THE TROPICS COULD AN ENGLISH ARMY DOCTOR HAVE SEEN MUCH HARDSHIP AND GOT HIS ARM WOUNDED </s>
<s> CLEARLY IN AFGHANISTAN </s>
<s> THE WHOLE TRAIN OF THOUGHT DID NOT OCCUPY A SECOND </s>
<s> I THEN REMARKED THAT YOU CAME FROM AFGHANISTAN AND YOU WERE ASTONISHED </s>
<s> QUOTE IT IS SIMPLE ENOUGH AS YOU EXPLAIN IT QUOTE I SAID SMILING </s>
<s> YOU REMIND ME OF EDGAR ALLAN POE'S DUPIN </s>
<s> I HAD NO IDEA THAT SUCH INDIVIDUALS DID EXIST OUTSIDE OF STORIES </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES ROSE AND LIT HIS PIPE </s>
<s> NO DOUBT YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE COMPLIMENTING ME IN COMPARING ME TO DUPIN HE OBSERVED </s>
<s> NOW IN MY OPINION DUPIN WAS A VERY INFERIOR FELLOW </s>
<s> THAT TRICK OF HIS OF BREAKING IN ON HIS FRIENDS' THOUGHTS WITH AN APROPOS REMARK AFTER A QUARTER OF AN HOUR'S SILENCE IS REALLY VERY SHOWY AND SUPERFICIAL </s>
<s> HE HAD SOME ANALYTICAL GENIUS NO DOUBT BUT HE WAS BY NO MEANS SUCH A PHENOMENON AS POE APPEARED TO IMAGINE </s>
<s> QUOTE HAVE YOU READ GABORIAU'S WORKS QUOTE </s>
<s> I ASKED </s>
<s> DOES LECOQ COME UP TO YOUR IDEA OF A DETECTIVE </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES SNIFFED SARDONICALLY </s>
<s> LECOQ WAS A MISERABLE BUNGLER HE SAID IN AN ANGRY VOICE HE HAD ONLY ONE THING TO RECOMMEND HIM AND THAT WAS HIS ENERGY </s>
<s> THAT BOOK MADE ME POSITIVELY ILL </s>
<s> THE QUESTION WAS HOW TO IDENTIFY AN UNKNOWN PRISONER </s>
<s> I COULD HAVE DONE IT IN TWENTY FOUR HOURS </s>
<s> LECOQ TOOK SIX MONTHS OR SO </s>
<s> IT MIGHT BE MADE A TEXTBOOK FOR DETECTIVES TO TEACH THEM WHAT TO AVOID </s>
<s> I FELT RATHER INDIGNANT AT HAVING TWO CHARACTERS WHOM I HAD ADMIRED TREATED IN THIS CAVALIER STYLE </s>
<s> I WALKED OVER TO THE WINDOW AND STOOD LOOKING OUT INTO THE BUSY STREET </s>
<s> THIS FELLOW MAY BE VERY CLEVER I SAID TO MYSELF BUT HE IS CERTAINLY VERY CONCEITED </s>
<s> THERE ARE NO CRIMES AND NO CRIMINALS IN THESE DAYS HE SAID QUERULOUSLY </s>
<s> QUOTE WHAT IS THE USE OF HAVING BRAINS IN OUR PROFESSION </s>
<s> I KNOW WELL THAT I HAVE IT IN ME TO MAKE MY NAME FAMOUS </s>
<s> NO MAN LIVES OR HAS EVER LIVED WHO HAS BROUGHT THE SAME AMOUNT OF STUDY AND OF NATURAL TALENT TO THE DETECTION OF CRIME WHICH I HAVE DONE </s>
<s> AND WHAT IS THE RESULT </s>
<s> THERE IS NO CRIME TO DETECT OR AT MOST SOME BUNGLING VILLAINY WITH A MOTIVE SO TRANSPARENT THAT EVEN A SCOTLAND YARD OFFICIAL CAN SEE THROUGH IT </s>
<s> I WAS STILL ANNOYED AT HIS BUMPTIOUS STYLE OF CONVERSATION </s>
<s> I THOUGHT IT BEST TO CHANGE THE TOPIC </s>
<s> I WONDER WHAT THAT FELLOW IS LOOKING FOR </s>
<s> I ASKED POINTING TO A STALWART PLAINLY DRESSED INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS WALKING SLOWLY DOWN THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET LOOKING ANXIOUSLY AT THE NUMBERS </s>
<s> HE HAD A LARGE BLUE ENVELOPE IN HIS HAND AND WAS EVIDENTLY THE BEARER OF A MESSAGE </s>
<s> YOU MEAN THE RETIRED SERGEANT OF MARINES SAID SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>
<s> BRAG AND BOUNCE THOUGHT I TO MYSELF </s>
<s> HE KNOWS THAT I CANNOT VERIFY HIS GUESS </s>
<s> THE THOUGHT HAD HARDLY PASSED THROUGH MY MIND WHEN THE MAN WHOM WE WERE WATCHING CAUGHT SIGHT OF THE NUMBER ON OUR DOOR AND RAN RAPIDLY ACROSS THE ROADWAY </s>
<s> WE HEARD A LOUD KNOCK A DEEP VOICE BELOW AND HEAVY STEPS ASCENDING THE STAIR </s>
<s> QUOTE FOR MR. SHERLOCK HOLMES QUOTE HE SAID STEPPING INTO THE ROOM AND HANDING MY FRIEND THE LETTER </s>
<s> HERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY OF TAKING THE CONCEIT OUT OF HIM </s>
<s> HE LITTLE THOUGHT OF THIS WHEN HE MADE THAT RANDOM SHOT </s>
<s> MAY I ASK MY LAD I SAID IN THE BLANDEST VOICE WHAT YOUR TRADE MAY BE </s>
<s> COMMISSIONAIRE SIR HE SAID GRUFFLY </s>
<s> UNIFORM AWAY FOR REPAIRS </s>
<s> AND YOU WERE </s>
<s> I ASKED WITH A SLIGHTLY MALICIOUS GLANCE AT MY COMPANION </s>
<s> A SERGEANT SIR ROYAL MARINE LIGHT INFANTRY SIR </s>
<s> NO ANSWER </s>
<s> RIGHT SIR QUOTE </s>
<s> HE CLICKED HIS HEELS TOGETHER RAISED HIS HAND IN SALUTE AND WAS GONE </s>
<s> CHAPTER THREE THE LAURISTON GARDEN MYSTERY </s>
<s> I CONFESS THAT I WAS CONSIDERABLY STARTLED BY THIS FRESH PROOF OF THE PRACTICAL NATURE OF MY COMPANION'S THEORIES </s>
<s> MY RESPECT FOR HIS POWERS OF ANALYSIS INCREASED WONDROUSLY </s>
<s> THERE STILL REMAINED SOME LURKING SUSPICION IN MY MIND HOWEVER THAT THE WHOLE THING WAS A PREARRANGED EPISODE INTENDED TO DAZZLE ME THOUGH WHAT EARTHLY OBJECT HE COULD HAVE IN TAKING ME IN WAS PAST MY COMPREHENSION </s>
<s> WHEN I LOOKED AT HIM HE HAD FINISHED READING THE NOTE AND HIS EYES HAD ASSUMED THE VACANT LACKLUSTRE EXPRESSION WHICH SHOWED MENTAL ABSTRACTION </s>
<s> HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU DEDUCE THAT </s>
<s> I ASKED </s>
<s> DEDUCE WHAT SAID HE PETULANTLY </s>
<s> WHY THAT HE WAS A RETIRED SERGEANT OF MARINES </s>
<s> I HAVE NO TIME FOR TRIFLES HE ANSWERED BRUSQUELY THEN WITH A SMILE EXCUSE MY RUDENESS </s>
<s> YOU BROKE THE THREAD OF MY THOUGHTS BUT PERHAPS IT IS AS WELL </s>
<s> SO YOU ACTUALLY WERE NOT ABLE TO SEE THAT THAT MAN WAS A SERGEANT OF MARINES </s>
<s> QUOTE NO INDEED QUOTE </s>
<s> IT WAS EASIER TO KNOW IT THAN TO EXPLAIN WHY I KNOW IT </s>
<s> IF YOU WERE ASKED TO PROVE THAT TWO AND TWO MADE FOUR YOU MIGHT FIND SOME DIFFICULTY AND YET YOU ARE QUITE SURE OF THE FACT </s>
<s> EVEN ACROSS THE STREET I COULD SEE A GREAT BLUE ANCHOR TATTOOED ON THE BACK OF THE FELLOW'S HAND </s>
<s> THAT SMACKED OF THE SEA </s>
<s> HE HAD A MILITARY CARRIAGE HOWEVER AND REGULATION SIDE WHISKERS </s>
<s> THERE WE HAVE THE MARINE </s>
<s> HE WAS A MAN WITH SOME AMOUNT OF SELF IMPORTANCE AND A CERTAIN AIR OF COMMAND </s>
<s> YOU MUST HAVE OBSERVED THE WAY IN WHICH HE HELD HIS HEAD AND SWUNG HIS CANE </s>
<s> A STEADY RESPECTABLE MIDDLE AGED MAN TOO ON THE FACE OF HIM ALL FACTS WHICH LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT HE HAD BEEN A SERGEANT </s>
<s> WONDERFUL </s>
<s> I EJACULATED </s>
<s> COMMONPLACE SAID HOLMES THOUGH I THOUGHT FROM HIS EXPRESSION THAT HE WAS PLEASED AT MY EVIDENT SURPRISE AND ADMIRATION </s>
<s> I SAID JUST NOW THAT THERE WERE NO CRIMINALS </s>
<s> IT APPEARS THAT I AM WRONG LOOK AT THIS QUOTE </s>
