I
had
never
heard
of
the
institution
,
and
my
face
must
have
proclaimed
as
much
,
for
Sherlock
Homes
pulled
out
his
watch
.
"
The
Diogenes
Club
is
the
queerest
club
in
London
,
and
Mycroft
one
of
the
queerest
men
.
He
's
always
there
from
quarter
to
five
to
twenty
to
eight
.
It
's
six
now
,
so
if
you
care
for
a
stroll
this
beautiful
evening
I
shall
be
very
happy
to
introduce
you
to
two
curiosities
.
"
Five
minutes
later
we
were
in
the
street
,
walking
towards
Regent
's
Circus
.
"
You
wonder
,
"
said
my
companion
,
"
why
it
is
that
Mycroft
does
not
use
his
powers
for
detective
work
.
He
is
incapable
of
it
.
"
"
But
I
thought
you
said
--
"
"
I
said
that
he
was
my
superior
in
observation
and
deduction
.
If
the
art
of
the
detective
began
and
ended
in
reasoning
from
an
armchair
,
my
brother
would
be
the
greatest
criminal
agent
that
ever
lived
.
But
he
has
no
ambition
and
no
energy
.
He
will
not
even
go
out
of
his
way
to
verify
his
own
solutions
,
and
would
rather
be
considered
wrong
than
take
the
trouble
to
prove
himself
right
.
Again
and
again
I
have
taken
a
problem
to
him
,
and
have
received
an
explanation
which
has
afterwards
proved
to
be
the
correct
one
.
And
yet
he
was
absolutely
incapable
of
working
out
the
practical
points
which
must
be
gone
into
before
a
case
could
be
laid
before
a
judge
or
jury
.
"
"
It
is
not
his
profession
,
then
?
"
"
By
no
means
.
What
is
to
me
a
means
of
livelihood
is
to
him
the
merest
hobby
of
a
dilettante
.
He
has
an
extraordinary
faculty
for
figures
,
and
audits
the
books
in
some
of
the
government
departments
.
Mycroft
lodges
in
Pall
Mall
,
and
he
walks
round
the
corner
into
Whitehall
every
morning
and
back
every
evening
.
From
year
's
end
to
year
'
s
end
he
takes
no
other
exercise
,
and
is
seen
nowhere
else
,
except
only
in
the
Diogenes
Club
,
which
is
just
opposite
his
rooms
.
"
"
I
can
not
recall
the
name
.
