45763    'No mention of that local hunt, Watson,' said Holmes, with a mischievous smile, 'but a country doctor, as you very astutely observed.
45764    I think that I am fairly justified in my inferences.
45765    As to the adjectives, I said, if I remember right, amiable, unambitious, and absent-minded.
45766    It is my experience that it is only an amiable man in this world who receives testimonials, only an unambitious one who abandons a London career for the country, and only an absent-minded one who leaves his stick and not his visiting-card after waiting an hour in your room.'
45767    'And the dog?'
45768    'Has been in the habit of carrying this stick behind his master.
45769    Being a heavy stick the dog has held it tightly by the middle, and the marks of his teeth are very plainly visible.
45770    The dog's jaw, as shown in the space between these marks, is too broad in my opinion for a terrier and not broad enough for a mastiff.
45771    It may have been - yes, by Jove, it is a curly-haired spaniel.'
45772    He had risen and paced the room as he spoke.
45773    Now he halted in the recess of the window.
