My
companion
smiled
an
enigmatical
smile
.
"
That
's
just
his
little
peculiarity
,
"
he
said
.
"
A
good
many
people
have
wanted
to
know
how
he
finds
things
out
.
"
"
Oh
!
a
mystery
is
it
?
"
I
cried
,
rubbing
my
hands
.
"
This
is
very
piquant
.
I
am
much
obliged
to
you
for
bringing
us
together
.
'
The
proper
study
of
mankind
is
man
,
'
you
know
.
"
"
You
must
study
him
,
then
,
"
Stamford
said
,
as
he
bade
me
good-bye
.
"
You
'll
find
him
a
knotty
problem
,
though
.
I
'll
wager
he
learns
more
about
you
than
you
about
him
.
Good-bye
.
"
"
Good-bye
,
"
I
answered
,
and
strolled
on
to
my
hotel
,
considerably
interested
in
my
new
acquaintance
.
We
met
next
day
as
he
had
arranged
,
and
inspected
the
rooms
at
No.
221B
,
5
Baker
Street
,
of
which
he
had
spoken
at
our
meeting
.
They
consisted
of
a
couple
of
comfortable
bed-rooms
and
a
single
large
airy
sitting-room
,
cheerfully
furnished
,
and
illuminated
by
two
broad
windows
.
So
desirable
in
every
way
were
the
apartments
,
and
so
moderate
did
the
terms
seem
when
divided
between
us
,
that
the
bargain
was
concluded
upon
the
spot
,
and
we
at
once
entered
into
possession
.
That
very
evening
I
moved
my
things
round
from
the
hotel
,
and
on
the
following
morning
Sherlock
Holmes
followed
me
with
several
boxes
and
portmanteaus
.
For
a
day
or
two
we
were
busily
employed
in
unpacking
and
laying
out
our
property
to
the
best
advantage
.
That
done
,
we
gradually
began
to
settle
down
and
to
accommodate
ourselves
to
our
new
surroundings
.
Holmes
was
certainly
not
a
difficult
man
to
live
with
.
He
was
quiet
in
his
ways
,
and
his
habits
were
regular
.
It
was
rare
for
him
to
be
up
after
ten
at
night
,
and
he
had
invariably
breakfasted
and
gone
out
before
I
rose
in
the
morning
.
Sometimes
he
spent
his
day
at
the
chemical
laboratory
,
sometimes
in
the
dissecting-rooms
,
and
occasionally
in
long
walks
,
which
appeared
to
take
him
into
the
lowest
portions
of
the
City
.
Nothing
could
exceed
his
energy
when
the
working
fit
was
upon
him
;
but
now
and
again
a
reaction
would
seize
him
,
and
for
days
on
end
he
would
lie
upon
the
sofa
in
the
sitting-room
,
hardly
uttering
a
word
or
moving
a
muscle
from
morning
to
night
.
On
these
occasions
I
have
noticed
such
a
dreamy
,
vacant
expression
in
his
eyes
,
that
I
might
have
suspected
him
of
being
addicted
to
the
use
of
some
narcotic
,
had
not
the
temperance
and
cleanliness
of
his
whole
life
forbidden
such
a
notion
.
As
the
weeks
went
by
,
my
interest
in
him
and
my
curiosity
as
to
his
aims
in
life
,
gradually
deepened
and
increased
.
His
very
person
and
appearance
were
such
as
to
strike
the
attention
of
the
most
casual
observer
.
In
height
he
was
rather
over
six
feet
,
and
so
excessively
lean
that
he
seemed
to
be
considerably
taller
.
His
eyes
were
sharp
and
piercing
,
save
during
those
intervals
of
torpor
to
which
I
have
alluded
;
and
his
thin
,
hawk-like
nose
gave
his
whole
expression
an
air
of
alertness
and
decision
.
His
chin
,
too
,
had
the
prominence
and
squareness
which
mark
the
man
of
determination
.
His
hands
were
invariably
blotted
with
ink
and
stained
with
chemicals
,
yet
he
was
possessed
of
extraordinary
delicacy
of
touch
,
as
I
frequently
had
occasion
to
observe
when
I
watched
him
manipulating
his
fragile
philosophical
instruments
.
The
reader
may
set
me
down
as
a
hopeless
busybody
,
when
I
confess
how
much
this
man
stimulated
my
curiosity
,
and
how
often
I
endeavoured
to
break
through
the
reticence
which
he
showed
on
all
that
concerned
himself
.
Before
pronouncing
judgment
,
however
,
be
it
remembered
,
how
objectless
was
my
life
,
and
how
little
there
was
to
engage
my
attention
.
My
health
forbade
me
from
venturing
out
unless
the
weather
was
exceptionally
genial
,
and
I
had
no
friends
who
would
call
upon
me
and
break
the
monotony
of
my
daily
existence
.
Under
these
circumstances
,
I
eagerly
hailed
the
little
mystery
which
hung
around
my
companion
,
and
spent
much
of
my
time
in
endeavouring
to
unravel
it
.
