"
But why Turkish?
asked Mr. Sherlock Holmes, gazing fixedly at my boots. I was reclining in a cane-backed chair at the moment, and my protruded feet had attracted his ever-active attention.
English,
I answered in some surprise. I got them at Latimer's, in Oxford Street.
Holmes smiled with an expression of weary patience.
The bath!
he said; the bath! Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating home-made article?
"Because for the last few days I have been feeling rheumatic and old. A Turkish bath is what we call an alterative in medicine--a fresh starting-point, a cleanser of the system.
