Question

Rapid reader: The Hound of the Bask
What observations did Holmes make upon Dr. Mortimer's stick?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Holmes examines the stick himself, and concludes that Mortimer received the stick as a gift from a hospital, rather than from a hunting club. He deduces that Mortimer was a student at this hospital, not a physician, and that he must therefore be young, not old.
