 I told you, on our first meeting, that you had come from Afghanistan.” “You were told, no doubt.” “Nothing of the sort. I _knew_ you came from Afghanistan. From long habit the train of thoughts ran so swiftly through my mind, that I arrived at the conclusion without being conscious of intermediate steps. There were such steps, however. The train of reasoning ran, ‘Here is a gentleman of a medical type, but with the air of a military man. Clearly an army doctor, then. He has just come from the tropics, for his face is dark, and that is not the natural tint of his skin, for his wrists are fair. He has undergone hardship and sickness, as his haggard face says clearly. His left arm has been injured. He holds it in a stiff and unnatural manner. Where in the tropics could an English army doctor have seen much hardship and got his arm wounded? Clearly in Afghanistan.’ The whole train of thought did not occupy a second. I then remarked that you came from Afghanistan, and you were astonished.” URE YOU APPEARED TO BE SURPRISED WHEN I TOLD YOU ON OUR FIRST MEETING THAT YOU WERE COME FROM AFGHANISTAN YOU WERE TOLD NO DOUBT NOTHING OF THE SORT I KNEW YOU CAME FROM AFGHANISTAN FROM LONG HABIT THE TRAIN OF THOUGHTS RAN SO SWIFTLY THROUGH MY MIND THAT I ARRIVED AT THE CONCLUSION WITHOUT BEING CONSCIOUS OF INTERMEDIATE STEPS THERE WERE SUCH STEPS HOWEVER THE TRAIN OF REASONING RAN HERE IS A GENTLEMAN OF A MEDICAL TYPE BUT WITH THE AIR OF A MILITARY MAN CLEARLY AN ARMY DOCTOR THEN HE HAS JUST COME FROM THE TROPICS FOR HIS FACE IS DARK AND THAT IS NOT THE NATURAL TINT OF HIS SKIN FOR HIS WRISTS ARE FAIR HE HAS UNDERGONE HARDSHIP AND SICKNESS AS HIS HAGGARD FACE SAYS CLEARLY HIS LEFT ARM HAS BEEN INJURED HE HOLDS IT IN A STIFF AND UNNATURAL MANNER WHERE IN THE TROPICS COULD AN ENGLISH ARMY DOCTOR HAVE SEEN MUCH HARDSHIP AND GOT HIS ARM WOUNDED CLEARLY IN AFGHANISTAN THE WHOLE TRAIN OF THOUGHT DID NOT OCCUPY A SECOND I THEN REMARKED THAT YOU CAME FROM AFGHANISTAN AND YOU WERE ASTONISHED
