CHAPTER IL

We met next day as he had ar
ranged, and inspected the rooms at
No. 221B Baker street, of which he had
spoken at our meeting. They con-
sisted of couple of comfortable bed
rooms and a single large. airy sitting
room, cheerfully furnished, and il
Illuminated by two broad windows. So
desirable in every way were the apart
ments, and so moderate did the terms
seem when divided between us, that
the bargain was concluded upon the
spot, and we at once entered into pos
session. That very evening | moved
my things round from the hotel, and
on the following morning Sherlock
Holmes followed me with several
boxes and portmanteaus. For day or
two we were busily employed in un-
packing and laying out our property
to the best advantage. That done, we
gradually began to settle down and to
accommodate ourselves to our new sur
roundings.
Holmes was certainly not difficult
man to live with. He was quiet in his
ways and his habits were regular. 1t
was rare for him to be up after ten at
night, and he had invariably break
tasted and gone out before rose in
the morning. Sometimes he spent his
day at the chemical laboratory, some
times in the dissecting- and oc-
casionally in long walks, which ap-
peared to take him into the lowest por-
tions of the city. Nothing could ex-
cced his energy when the working fit
was upon him. but now and again n re-
action wonld seize him and for days
on end he would lie upon the sofa in
the sittinT-room, hardly uttering a
word or moving muscle from morn
ing to night. On these occasions
