“I
can
see
nothing,”
said
I,
handing
it
back
to
my
friend.
“On
the
contrary,
Watson,
you
can
see
everything.
You
fail,
however,
to
reason
from
what
you
see.
You
are
too
timid
in
drawing
your
inferences.”
“Then,
pray
tell
me
what
it
is
that
you
can
infer
from
this
hat?”
He
picked
it
up
and
gazed
at
it
in
the
peculiar
introspective
fashion
which
was
characteristic
of
him.
“It
is
perhaps
less
suggestive
than
it
might
have
been,”
he
remarked,
“and
yet
there
are
a
few
inferences
which
are
very
distinct,
and
a
few
others
which
represent
at
least
a
strong
balance
of
probability.
That
the
man
was
highly
intellectual
is
of
course
obvious
upon
the
face
of
it,
and
also
that
he
was
fairly
well-to-do
within
the
last
three
years,
although
he
has
now
fallen
upon
evil
days.
He
had
foresight,
but
has
less
now
than
formerly,
pointing
to
a
moral
retrogression,
which,
when
taken
with
the
decline
of
his
fortunes,
seems
to
indicate
some
evil
influence,
probably
drink,
at
work
upon
him.
This
may
account
also
for
the
obvious
fact
that
his
wife
has
ceased
to
love
him.”
“My
dear
Holmes!”
“He
has,
however,
retained
some
degree
of
self-respect,”
he
continued,
disregarding
my
remonstrance.
“He
is
a
man
who
leads
a
sedentary
life,
goes
out
little,
is
out
of
training
entirely,
is
middle-aged,
has
grizzled
hair
which
he
has
had
cut
within
the
last
few
days,
and
which
he
anoints
with
lime-cream.
These
are
the
more
patent
facts
which
are
to
be
deduced
from
his
hat.
Also,
by
the
way,
that
it
is
extremely
improbable
that
he
has
gas
laid
on
in
his
house.”
“You
are
certainly
joking,
Holmes.”
“Not
in
the
least.
Is
it
possible
that
even
now,
when
I
give
you
these
results,
you
are
unable
to
see
how
they
are
attained?”
