		Mycroft's confidence in the presence of his brother is borne out by SP placing him in the same pose as he placed Holmes in his moment of triumph in "The Resident Patient," standing straight with hands lightly clasped behind his back and seems almost about to offer a smile at his brother's naiveté.
		Mycroft had willfully passed by Holmes and Watson in a hansom in order to preempt this position so he could speak to Sherlock as if he were the true proprietor of the lodging and esteem his brother held and Sherlock the supplicant to Mycroft's knowledge.

	Sherlockian.Net: Mycroft Holmes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Mycroft Holmes appears as a character in two of the Holmes stories: "The Greek Interpreter" and "The Bruce-Partington Plans".
		Holmes tells Watson that Mycroft is "seven years my senior" (older by seven years), and brilliant in observation and deduction, but so lazy -- and fat, it turns out -- that he seldom moves from his accustomed cycle: his rooms, his office in a government building, and the Diogenes Club.
		Many Sherlockians have interpreted this passage, and the role played by Mycroft in bringing the Bruce-Partington scandal to his brother's attention, to mean that Mycroft was an early and important member of the British intelligence establishment.

		Damien March is a 30-something man who slogs through news wire reports on the night shift at the BBC in London, surrounded by younger and more ambitious men.
		The manuscript tells the story of Mycroft Holmes, the brother of Sherlock alluded to in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's stories.
		While the dull clue-hunt takes far too much precedence over the potentially disturbing, larger implications of Damien's life, such as it has been, Marcel Theroux's writing is smooth and the relations and dialogue between family members uncomfortably realistic.
