Author's Notes: ...the long cherry-wood pipe which was wont to replace his clay when he was in a disputatious rather than a meditative mood…



Instructions for Mrs. Hudson


Smoking the clay pipe: he is thinking. Disturb as little as possible.

Smoking the cherry-wood: in disputatious mood. Do not make eye contact. Do not enter into arguments about the Semitic language of the ancient Chaldeans.

Smoking the meerschaum: evacuate entire building immediately. Telegraph me thereafter.


Good luck. Stay calm. I will be back on Tuesday.
