I was reclining in a cane-backed chair at the moment, and my protruded 3 feet had attracted his ever-active attention.,“English, ” I answered in some surprise. “I got them at Latimer's, in Oxford 4 Street.”,Holmes smiled with an expression of weary patience.,“The bath!” he said; “the bath! Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article? ”,“By the way, Holmes,” I added, “I have no doubt the connection between my boots and a Turkish bath is a perfectly 6 self-evident one to a logical mind, and yet I should be obliged to you if you would indicate it.”,“The train of reasoning is not very obscure, Watson, ” said Holmes with a mischievous 8 twinkle. “It belongs to the same elementary class of deduction 9 which I should illustrate 10 if I were to ask you who shared your cab in your drive this morning.”,“I don't admit that a fresh illustration is an explanation,” said I with some asperity 11.,“Bravo, Watson!
