The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes·4
About This Novel
Shortly after I married, I bought a medical practice in Paddington from old Mr. Farquhar. The business of old Farquhar's clinic was very prosperous for a period of time, but due to his old age, poor energy, and suffering from a disease, the number of people coming to his clinic gradually decreased. This is because people naturally abide by a principle: a doctor must be healthy before he can cure a patient; if he cannot cure his own disease, people will naturally not believe in his medical skills. Therefore, the worse my senior's health, the less his income. When I bought the practice, his income had dropped from £1,200 a year to just over £300. However, I am quite confident in my vigorous body in my prime, and firmly believe that within a few years, the business of this clinic will be as prosperous as ever.
