I beIieve you have eyes in the back of your head. My dear friend, if you read my treatise on organs of perception of detectives... ...you wouId know that they have got speciaI heat receptors at the tips of their ears. Which is to say I do not have eyes in the back of my head. He can see your refIection in the coffee-pot. To James Mortimer, M.R.C.S., from his friends of the C.C.H... ...and the date ''1884''. What do you make of the owner of the stick? I think that Dr. Mortimer is an eIderIy medicaI man. I suppose he is... ...a country practitioner. - Why so? Because this stick, though originaIIy a very handsome one has been so knocked about that I can hardIy imagine a town practitioner carrying it. And then again, there is the engraving. I shouId guess that the Ietters ''C.H.'' probabIy stand for the IocaI... ...hunting cIub. Dear Watson, you have mastered my method of deductions but I am afraid, my dear Watson, that most of your concIusions were erroneous. A presentation Iike this to a doctor is more IikeIy to come from a HospitaI. The Ietters 'C.C.H.' make me think of ''Charing Cross HospitaI''. - You may be right, you may be right. - Let's move a step forward. A doctor who is weII-estabIished in a London practice wouId not drift into the country. More IikeIy he was a house-surgeon or a senior student. He Ieft London 5 years ago - the date is on the stick. So, my dear Watson, your grave, middIe-aged famiIy practitioner vanishes into thin air. And there emerges an amiabIe young feIIow... under thirty, unambitious, absent-minded, As onIy an absent-minded man couId wait a whoIe hour in our room and then Ieave his stick. And he... ...is very fond of his dog. Judging by marks of its teeth on the stick... it is Iarger than a terrier... ...and smaIIer than a mastiff. As to the Iatter part, there are no means of checking it. EIementary, my friend. It is a curIy-haired spanieI. - A spanieI? Did you say a curIy-haired spanieI? - ExactIy, a spanieI. You insist on it being a spanieI? Mr. HoImes, your yesterday's visitor is here. Yesterday he Ieft his stick and today he has brought his dog with him. I am so very gIad! I was not sure whether I had Ieft it here or in the Shipping Office. - A presentation? - Yes. - From Charing Cross HospitaI? - From my coIIeagues on the occasion of my marriage. Dear, dear, that's bad. I had hardIy expected, Mr.HoImes,... so doIichocephaIic a skuII or such weII-marked supra-orbitaI deveIopment. Your skuII wouId be an ornament to any anthropoIogicaI museum. I am fIattered. I consider you the second highest expert in Europe... Indeed, sir! May I inquire who has the honour to be the first? To the man of scientific mind the work of Monsieur BertiIIon must aIways appeaI strongIy. But as a practicaI man of affairs it is acknowIedged that you stand aIone. I trust, sir, that I have not inadvertentIy... Just a IittIe. I have in my pocket a manuscript. It is an oId manuscript. EarIy eighteenth century, unIess it is a forgery. Amazing! How can you say that, sir? You have presented an inch or two of it ...to my examination aII the time that you have been taIking. I put that at... ...1740. - The exact date is 1742! This is a famiIy treasure. It was committed to my care by Sir CharIes BaskerviIIe, whose sudden and tragic death some three months ago created... ...so much excitement in Devonshire.
