VTTE 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 consisted of a couple
of comfortable bedrooms and a single,
large, airy sitting-room, cheerfulls
furnished, and Illuminated by two
broad windows. So desirable in every
way were the apartments, and so mod
crate did the terms seem when divided
between us, that the bargain was con
cluded upon the spot, and we at once
entered into possession. That very
evening 1 moved my things round from
the hotel, and on the following morn
ing Sherlock Holmes followed me with
several boxes and portmanteaus. For
a day or two we were busily employed
in unpacking and laying out our prop
erty to the best advantage. That
done. we gradually began to settle
down to accommodate ourselves to our
new surroundings.
Holmes was certainly not a 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 10 at
night, and he had Invariably break

energy when the working At was upon
