Hound of the Baskervilles

1
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes
,
who
was
usually
very
late
in
the
mornings
,
save
upon
those
not
infrequent
occasions
when
he
was
up
all
night
,
was
seated
at
the
breakfast
table
.
I
stood
upon
the
hearth-rug
and
picked
up
the
stick
which
our
visitor
had
left
behind
him
the
night
before
.
It
was
a
fine
,
thick
piece
of
wood
,
bulbous-headed
,
of
the
sort
which
is
known
as
a
"
Penang
lawyer
.
"
Just
under
the
head
was
a
broad
silver
band
nearly
an
inch
across
.
"
To
James
Mortimer
,
M.
R.
C.
S.
,
from
his
friends
of
the
C.
C.
H.
,
"
was
engraved
upon
it
,
with
the
date
"
1884
.
"
It
was
just
such
a
stick
as
the
old-fashioned
family
practitioner
used
to
carry
--
dignified
,
solid
,
and
reassuring
.

"
Well
,
Watson
,
what
do
you
make
of
it
?
"

Holmes
was
sitting
with
his
back
to
me
,
and
I
had
given
him
no
sign
of
my
occupation
.

How
did
you
know
what
I
was
doing
?
I
believe
you
have
eyes
in
the
back
of
your
head
.
"
5
"
I
have
,
at
least
,
a
well-polished
,
silver-plated
coffee-pot
in
front
of
me
,
"
said
he
.
"
But
,
tell
me
,
Watson
,
what
do
you
make
of
our
visitor
's
stick
?
Since
we
have
been
so
unfortunate
as
to
miss
him
and
have
no
notion
of
his
errand
,
this
accidental
souvenir
becomes
of
importance
.
Let
me
hear
you
reconstruct
the
man
by
an
examination
of
it
.
"

"
I
think
,
"
said
I
,
following
as
far
as
I
could
the
methods
of
my
companion
,
"
that
Dr.
Mortimer
is
a
successful
,
elderly
medical
man
,
well-esteemed
since
those
who
know
him
give
him
this
mark
of
their
appreciation
.
"
7
"
Good
!
"
said
Holmes
.
"
Excellent
!

"
I
think
also
that
the
probability
is
in
favour
of
his
being
a
country
practitioner
who
does
a
great
deal
of
his
visiting
on
foot
.
"
9
"
Why
so
?
"
10
"
Because
this
stick
,
though
originally
a
very
handsome
one
has
been
so
knocked
about
that
I
can
hardly
imagine
a
town
practitioner
carrying
it
.
The
thick-iron
ferrule
is
worn
down
,
so
it
is
evident
that
he
has
done
a
great
amount
of
walking
with
it
.
