Before
turning
to
those
moral
and
mental
aspects
of
the
matter
which
present
the
greatest
difficulties
,
let
the
enquirer
begin
by
mastering
more
elementary
problems
.
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
.
Puerile
as
such
an
exercise
may
seem
,
it
sharpens
the
faculties
of
observation
,
and
teaches
one
where
to
look
and
what
to
look
for
.
By
a
man
's
finger
nails
,
by
his
coat-sleeve
,
by
his
boot
,
by
his
trouser
knees
,
by
the
callosities
of
his
forefinger
and
thumb
,
by
his
expression
,
by
his
shirt
cuffs
--
by
each
of
these
things
a
man
's
calling
is
plainly
revealed
.
That
all
united
should
fail
to
enlighten
the
competent
enquirer
in
any
case
is
almost
inconceivable
.
"
"
What
ineffable
twaddle
!
"
I
cried
,
slapping
the
magazine
down
on
the
table
,
"
I
never
read
such
rubbish
in
my
life
.
"
"
What
is
it
?
"
asked
Sherlock
Holmes
.
"
Why
,
this
article
,
"
I
said
,
pointing
at
it
with
my
egg
spoon
as
I
sat
down
to
my
breakfast
.
"
I
see
that
you
have
read
it
since
you
have
marked
it
.
I
do
n't
deny
that
it
is
smartly
written
.
It
irritates
me
though
.
It
is
evidently
the
theory
of
some
arm-chair
lounger
who
evolves
all
these
neat
little
paradoxes
in
the
seclusion
of
his
own
study
.
It
is
not
practical
.
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
.
I
would
lay
a
thousand
to
one
against
him
.
"
"
You
would
lose
your
money
,
"
Sherlock
Holmes
remarked
calmly
.
"
As
for
the
article
I
wrote
it
myself
.
"
"
You
!
"
"
Yes
,
I
have
a
turn
both
for
observation
and
for
deduction
.
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
.
"
"
And
how
?
"
I
asked
involuntarily
.
"
Well
,
I
have
a
trade
of
my
own
.
I
suppose
I
am
the
only
one
in
the
world
.
I
'm
a
consulting
detective
,
if
you
can
understand
what
that
is
.
Here
in
London
we
have
lots
of
Government
detectives
and
lots
of
private
ones
.
When
these
fellows
are
at
fault
they
come
to
me
,
and
I
manage
to
put
them
on
the
right
scent
.
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
.
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
ca
n't
unravel
the
thousand
and
first
.
Lestrade
is
a
well-known
detective
.
He
got
himself
into
a
fog
recently
over
a
forgery
case
,
and
that
was
what
brought
him
here
.
