Junior partner of Graham & McFarlane, of 426 Gresham Buildings, London.
A wild-eyed and frantic young man, pale, dishevelled, and palpitating, burst into the room. He was flaxen-haired and handsome, in a washed-out negative fashion, with frightened blue eyes, and a clean-shaven face, with a weak, sensitive mouth. His age may have been about twenty-seven, his dress and bearing that of a gentleman. From the pocket of his light summer overcoat protruded the bundle of endorsed papers which proclaimed his profession.

“I assure you that, beyond the obvious facts that you are a bachelor, a solicitor, a Freemason, and an asthmatic, I know nothing whatever about you.” (Sherlock Holmes)
