Very
likely
not
.
There
are
many
men
in
London
,
you
know
,
who
,
some
from
shyness
,
some
from
misanthropy
,
have
no
wish
for
the
company
of
their
fellows
.
Yet
they
are
not
averse
to
comfortable
chairs
and
the
latest
periodicals
.
It
is
for
the
convenience
of
these
that
the
Diogenes
Club
was
started
,
and
it
now
contains
the
most
unsociable
and
unclubable
men
in
town
.
No
member
is
permitted
to
take
the
least
notice
of
any
other
one
.
Save
in
the
Stranger
's
Room
,
no
talking
is
,
under
any
circumstances
,
allowed
,
and
three
offences
,
if
brought
to
the
notice
of
the
committee
,
render
the
talker
liable
to
expulsion
.
My
brother
was
one
of
the
founders
,
and
I
have
myself
found
it
a
very
soothing
atmosphere
.
"
We
had
reached
Pall
Mall
as
we
talked
,
and
were
walking
down
it
from
the
St.
James
's
end
.
Sherlock
Holmes
stopped
at
a
door
some
little
distance
from
the
Carlton
,
and
,
cautioning
me
not
to
speak
,
he
led
the
way
into
the
hall
.
Through
the
glass
panelling
I
caught
a
glimpse
of
a
large
and
luxurious
room
,
in
which
a
considerable
number
of
men
were
sitting
about
and
reading
papers
,
each
in
his
own
little
nook
.
Holmes
showed
me
into
a
small
chamber
which
looked
out
into
Pall
Mall
,
and
then
,
leaving
me
for
a
minute
,
he
came
back
with
a
companion
whom
I
knew
could
only
be
his
brother
.
Mycroft
Holmes
was
a
much
larger
and
stouter
man
than
Sherlock
.
His
body
was
absolutely
corpulent
,
but
his
face
,
though
massive
,
had
preserved
something
of
the
sharpness
of
expression
which
was
so
remarkable
in
that
of
his
brother
.
His
eyes
,
which
were
of
a
peculiarly
light
,
watery
gray
,
seemed
to
always
retain
that
far-away
,
introspective
look
which
I
had
only
observed
in
Sherlock
's
when
he
was
exerting
his
full
powers
.
"
I
am
glad
to
meet
you
,
sir
,
"
said
he
,
putting
out
a
broad
,
fat
hand
like
the
flipper
of
a
seal
.
"
I
hear
of
Sherlock
everywhere
since
you
became
his
chronicler
.
By
the
way
,
Sherlock
,
I
expected
to
see
you
round
last
week
to
consult
me
over
that
Manor
House
case
.
I
thought
you
might
be
a
little
out
of
your
depth
.
"
"
No
,
I
solved
it
,
"
said
my
friend
,
smiling
.
"
It
was
Adams
,
of
course
.
"
"
Yes
,
it
was
Adams
.
"
"
I
was
sure
of
it
from
the
first
.
"
The
two
sat
down
together
in
the
bow-window
of
the
club
.
"
To
anyone
who
wishes
to
study
mankind
this
is
the
spot
,
"
said
Mycroft
.
"
Look
at
the
magnificent
types
!
Look
at
these
two
men
who
are
coming
towards
us
,
for
example
.
"
"
The
billiard-marker
and
the
other
?
