Capítulo 2, Página 3
“How,
in
the
name
of
good-fortune,
did
you
know
all
that,
Mr.
Holmes?”
he
asked.
“How
did
you
know,
for
example,
that
I
did
manual
labour.
It’s
as
true
as
gospel,
for
I
began
as
a
ship’s
carpenter.”
“Your
hands,
my
dear
sir.
Your
right
hand
is
quite
a
size
larger
than
your
left.
You
have
worked
with
it,
and
the
muscles
are
more
developed.”
“Well,
the
snuff,
then,
and
the
Freemasonry?”
“I
won’t
insult
your
intelligence
by
telling
you
how
I
read
that,
especially
as,
rather
against
the
strict
rules
of
your
order,
you
use
an
arc-and-compass
breastpin.”
“Ah,
of
course,
I
forgot
that.
But
the
writing?”
“What
else
can
be
indicated
by
that
right
cuff
so
very
shiny
for
five
inches,
and
the
left
one
with
the
smooth
patch
near
the
elbow
where
you
rest
it
upon
the
desk?”
“Well,
but
China?”
“The
fish
that
you
have
tattooed
immediately
above
your
right
wrist
could
only
have
been
done
in
China.
I
have
made
a
small
study
of
tattoo
marks
and
have
even
contributed
to
the
literature
of
the
subject.
That
trick
of
staining
the
fishes’
scales
of
a
delicate
pink
is
quite
peculiar
to
China.
When,
in
addition,
I
see
a
Chinese
coin
hanging
from
your
watch-chain,
the
matter
becomes
even
more
simple.”
