As I passed the well-remembered door, I wished to see Sherlock Holmes again. I wanted to know how he was using his extraordinary powers. I looked up and saw that there was light in his rooms. I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a silhoutte against the curtain. He was pacing the room swiftly, with his hands clasped behind him. I was familiar with his moods and habits. The way he was pacing told me something clearly. He was at his work again. I rang the bell and was shown up to his chamber.

With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair. Then he stood before the fire, and looked me over in his singular fashion. “Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.” “Seven,” I answered. “Indeed, I should have thought a little more. And you have started practising again, I observe. You did not tell me that you planned to do so.” “Then, how do you know?”

How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?” “My dear Holmes,” said I, “This is too much. People would think you do it by magic. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a mess, but after that I changed my clothes. I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane – it is not possible to improve or correct her; my wife has given her notice. But how did you work it out?”

That means someone has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole to remove dried mud from it. It tells me two things – that you had to go out in bad weather and your servant handles your shoes in a clumsy and careless manner.

I must be dull indeed if all this did not tell me that you are practising as a doctor again.”

I feel that I could also have guessed it. But every time I am baffled till you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”

The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.” “Frequently.” “How often?”

I don’t know.” Quite so. You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed.

The mathematics they knew was advanced, even by today’s standards. You may have heard the names of Aryabhatta and Bhaskaracharya. Bhaskaracharya lived in the 12 th century. He wrote ‘Leelavati’ a book that teaches arithmetic through interesting examples are written in the form of verses! ‘Leelavati’ was used for centuries, as a textbook of mathematics in many parts of India.
