Summary: Never play golf with a man named Doc.

“…the conversation … had roamed…from golf clubs to the causes of the change in the obliquity of the ecliptic…”

For ten minutes I expounded on the benefits of the nine versus the five iron, the countries that produced hardwoods that made the best mashies, which terrains were best handled by which device.

Holmes, who had scarce been able to contribute two words to that topic, changed the subject so rapidly that I hid my smile at his poorly-hidden pique.

Watson was trying to ask Holmes a question.

(“Why..?”)

But Holmes was thinking.

(“Can I ask..?”)

And then experimenting.



Just before supper, Watson made one last attempt.

“Holmes!”

“Watson!” Holmes jumped. “Didn’t hear you arrive home.”

Watson sighed. “I wanted to ask: why haven’t you joined the Diogenes Club?”

Holmes frowned. “But I like socialising with you in the evenings.”
