He doesn't look like much. Is he truly the Detective they say he was?
Success
Even ghosts aren't yet departed
[...] It's clearly an effort [...] But as he takes you in, [...] his eyes narrow, and he looks.
"Why,
[formal address], it's not difficult to get the measure of you." [...]
He turns his attention to your hands. [...]
[...] "Well, you're certainly perspicacious, if you've found me. [...]"Description summary:

| Second Paragraph | |
|---|---|
| Wiki note: No second paragraph. | |
| ? | |
| "You live in some old attic room, no doubt." | |
| "You live at the generosity of someone kindhearted. And easily manipulated, no doubt." | |
| "You live somewhere high. Draughty." | |
| "You live somewhere insalubrious. A dormitory, perhaps? Or flophouse?" He eyes your clothes warily, as if nervous of fleas. | |
| "Is that mud round your ankles? You live somewhere where the fungus thrives." | |
| ? | |
| "Your living situation is somewhat... fractious? Somewhere insalubrious." | |
| He takes a deep breath. "Mmm. Books. You keep many at your home? Ah, but surely even you wouldn't keep that many. A shop, then?" | |
| "You keep a respectable address. That much is obvious." | |
| He takes a deep breath. "Mmm, zee water. The smell gets into the clothing, no matter what you do. You live, then, on a boat?" | |
| "You appreciate your privacy, no matter what that might mean for your comfort." | |
| "You live somewhere warm." He chuckles to himself. "And cold, come to mention it. They must make for strange neighbours." | |
| "You live among... eclectic company." | |
| "You keep rooms off a shop. Premises, really – and leased yourself." | |
| "You live at the centre of it all. That's where you choose to put yourself." |
| Third Paragraph | |
|---|---|
| None | "You have no work, at the moment. Perhaps that's why you have come here." |
| "You're passionate about something. Enough to be spurred to habitual action." | |
| "You know how to use your hands. You're not too particular about it, either." | |
| "You carry a weapon. Perhaps a professional adornment?" | |
| "You have a way with words. One that favours you, time after time." | |
| "Are those ink-stains I see? The pen must never stray far from your hand." | |
| His gaze shifts up to meet your eyes. "Yes, always looking, aren't you? Always looking." | |
| "Would you be offended if I suggested you were a thug?" | |
| "Are those ink-stains I see? The pen must never be far from your hand." | |
| "Keep those where I can see them, if you would. You look to have rather light fingers." | |
| ? | |
| ? | |
| He seems a little surprised. "You have a vocation, then. Teaching is it?" | |
| ? | |
| He blanches a little, then relaxes. "No, I don't think I am on your list today, am I?" | |
| His gaze shifts up to meet your eyes. Then he looks away, and says nothing for a while. | |
| He makes an amused sound. "So, mirrors are your business, are they?" | |
