"By a man's fingernails, by his coat-sleeve, by his boots, by his trouser-knee, by the calluses of his forefinger and thumb, by his expression, by his shirt-cuffs, by his movements---by each of these things a man's calling is plainly revealed. That all united should fail to enlighten the competent enquirer in any case is almost inconceivable. "
Sherlock Holmes, 1892
