He
did
not
seem
offended
.
On
the
contrary
,
he
put
his
finger
-
tips
together
and
leaned
his
elbows
on
the
arms
of
his
chair
,
like
one
who
has
a
relish
for
conversation
.
“
My
mind
,
”
he
said
,
“
rebels
at
stagnation
.
Give
me
problems
,
give
me
work
,
give
me
the
most
abstruse
cryptogram
or
the
most
intricate
analysis
,
and
I
am
in
my
own
proper
atmosphere
.
I
can
dispense
then
with
artificial
stimulants
.
But
I
abhor
the
dull
routine
of
existence
.
I
crave
for
mental
exaltation
.
That
is
why
I
have
chosen
my
own
particular
profession
,
—
or
rather
created
it
,
for
I
am
the
only
one
in
the
world
.
”
“
The
only
unofficial
detective
?
”
I
said
,
raising
my
eyebrows
.
“
The
only
unofficial
consulting
detective
,
”
he
answered
.
“
I
am
the
last
and
highest
court
of
appeal
in
detection
.
When
Gregson
or
Lestrade
or
Athelney
Jones
are
out
of
their
depths
—
which
,
by
the
way
,
is
their
normal
state
—
the
matter
is
laid
before
me
.
I
examine
the
data
,
as
an
expert
,
and
pronounce
a
specialist
’
s
opinion
.
I
claim
no
credit
in
such
cases
.
My
name
figures
in
no
newspaper
.
The
work
itself
,
the
pleasure
of
finding
a
field
for
my
peculiar
powers
,
is
my
highest
reward
.
But
you
have
yourself
had
some
experience
of
my
methods
of
work
in
the
Jefferson
Hope
case
.
”
“
Yes
,
indeed
,
”
said
I
,
cordially
.
“
I
was
never
so
struck
by
anything
in
my
life
.
I
even
embodied
it
in
a
small
brochure
with
the
somewhat
fantastic
title
of
‘
A
Study
in
Scarlet
.
’
”
He
shook
his
head
sadly
.
“
I
glanced
over
it
,
”
said
he
.
“
Honestly
,
I
cannot
congratulate
you
upon
it
.
Detection
is
,
or
ought
to
be
,
an
exact
science
,
and
should
be
treated
in
the
same
cold
and
unemotional
manner
.
You
have
attempted
to
tinge
it
with
romanticism
,
which
produces
much
the
same
effect
as
if
you
worked
a
love
-
story
or
an
elopement
into
the
fifth
proposition
of
Euclid
.
”
“
But
the
romance
was
there
,
”
I
remonstrated
.
“
I
could
not
tamper
with
the
facts
.
”
“
Some
facts
should
be
suppressed
,
or
at
least
a
just
sense
of
proportion
should
be
observed
in
treating
them
.
The
only
point
in
the
case
which
deserved
mention
was
the
curious
analytical
reasoning
from
effects
to
causes
by
which
I
succeeded
in
unraveling
it
.
