MR.HOLMES PRETENDS TO BE LOST AND ASK THE WAY FROM MR.WILSON ASSISTANT SPAULDING ? WHAT OTHER ODD THINGS DOES HE DO IN FRONT OF MR.WILSON PLACE OF BUSINESS AND WHY ?
From the text:
Three gilt balls and a brown board with “JABEZ WILSON” in white letters, upon a corner house, announced the place where our redheaded client carried on his business. Sherlock Holmes stopped in front of it with his head on one side and looked it all over, with his eyes shining brightly between puckered lids. Then he walked slowly up the street, and then down again to the corner, still looking keenly at the houses. Finally he returned to the pawnbroker's, and, having thumped vigorously upon the pavement with his stick two or three times, he went up to the door and knocked. It was instantly opened by a bright-looking, clean-shaven young fellow, who asked him to step in.
