Representaion In Pursuance Of Books The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans (Sherlock Holmes Chronicles #17)
In the third week of November, in the year 1895, a dense yellow fog settled down upon London. From the Monday to the Thursday I doubt whether it was ever possible from our windows in Baker Street to see the loom of the opposite houses. The first day Holmes had spent in cross-indexing his huge book of references. The second and third had been patiently occupied upon a subject which he had recently made his hobby--the music of the Middle Ages. But when, for the fourth time, after pushing back our chairs from breakfast we saw the greasy, heavy brown swirl still drifting past us and condensing in oily drops upon the window-panes, my comrade's impatient and active nature could endure this drab existence no longer. He paced restlessly about our sitting-room in a fever of suppressed energy, biting his nails, tapping the furniture, and chafing against inaction. "Nothing of interest in the paper, Watson?" he said. I was aware that by anything of interest, Holmes meant anything of criminal interest. There was the news of a revolution, of a possible war, and of an impending change of government; but these did not come within the horizon of my companion. I could see nothing recorded in the shape of crime which was not commonplace and futile. Holmes groaned and resumed his restless meanderings. "The London criminal is certainly a dull fellow," said he in the querulous voice of the sportsman whose game has failed him. "Look out this window, Watson. See how the figures loom up, are dimly seen, and then blend once more into the cloud-bank. The thief or the murderer could roam London on such a day as the tiger does the jungle, unseen until he pounces, and then evident only to his victimSpecify Books During The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans (Sherlock Holmes Chronicles #17)

London is foggy, and Sherlock Holmes is bored. And very unsatisfied by the fact that nothing interesting happens. "The London criminal is certainly a dull fellow," said he, "Look out of this window, Watson. See how the figures loom up, are dimly seen, and then blend once more into the cloud-bank. The thief or the murderer could roam London on such a day as the tiger does the jungle, unseen until he pounces, and then evident only to his victim.""There have," said I, "been numerous petty thefts."I like this Sherlock mystery. There is this line-- "You can write me down an ass this time, Watson," said he. "This was not the bird that I was looking for." So you can imagine my excitement that I had correctly guessed whodunnit!
Holmess brother, Mycroft, has come about some missing secret submarine plans. The three missing pages of the plans could enable one of Englands enemies to build the submarine and use it against her. It is up to the Great Detective to solve the murder, retrieve the missing plans and ensure Englands future defense.

Found it rather boring. Of interest was
Early in this story, Holmes mentions two names that he designated as villains, but that he also seems to respect skill-wise. I also learned more about Mycroft Holmes here.
Another fun Sherlock Holmes tale with a good insight, from Sherlock, into his brother Mycroft's nature.
Exhalant book, i really enjoyed reading this book. The English and German were very good quality.
