“Come along, Doctor,” he (Holmes) said, “we shall go and look him up. I’ll tell you one thing which may help you in the case,” he continued, turning to the two detectives. “There has been murder done, and the murderer was a man. He was more than six feet high,was in the prime of life, had small feet for his height....”
