The Man With the Twisted Lip Sherlock Holmes

by Arthur Conan Doyle

Overview

�My God! It�s Watson,� said he. He was in a pitiable state of reaction, with every nerve in a twitter. �I say, Watson, what o�clock is it?�
�Nearly eleven.�
�Of what day?�
�Of Friday, June 19th.�
�Good heavens! I thought it was Wednesday. It is Wednesday. What d�you want to frighten a chap for?� He sank his face onto his arms and began to sob in a high treble key.
�I tell you that it is Friday, man. Your wife has been waiting this two days for you. You should be ashamed of yourself!�
�So I am. But you�ve got mixed, Watson, for I have only been here a few hours, three pipes, four pipes�I forget how many. But I�ll go home with you. I wouldn�t frighten Kate�poor little Kate. Give me your hand! Have you a cab?�
