	Diogenes of Sinope [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Diogenes’ sense of shamelessness is best seen in the context of Cynicism in general.
		For Diogenes, each individual should either allow reason to guide her conduct, or, like an animal, she will need to be lead by a leash; reason guides one away from mistakes and toward the best way in which to live life.
		Diogenes is a harsh critic of Plato, regularly disparaging Plato’s metaphysical pursuits and thereby signaling a clear break from primarily theoretical ethics.

	Watson's Wives
		Clubs suggested in such a role have been the Athenaeum (intelligient folk, no doubt, but hardly Mycrort's style), the Travellers' (true, its members did not speak to one another, but the name alone points out why Mycroft did not fit in), the Unionist (too topical), and the Playboy Club of London (heresy!).
		Brother Mycroft, as a founder, and well known to the members of the club as well, probably had the unpleasant experience of being on that committee at the time his brother was kicked out of the Diogenes.
		In keeping with the club's policy of enforced group hermitage, the location was undoubtedly changed from time to time as members' relatives, spouses, and other unwanted visitors (including vengeful ex-members) learned its address.

	www.WilliamArthurs.com: Nineteenth Century West End Clubs
		Clubs did develop in the counties, but they were, with rare exceptions, never to attain the status of the London clubs.
		Clubs were all male establishments in an age in which women from the same class as clubmen were virtually deified; placed on pedestals and forced to play out a role, half child, half imbecile.
		Club wine-cellars were, in many instances, exceptional both in their variety and in the cheapness of the cost of wine to members.

	Diogenes of Sinope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diogenes "the Cynic", Greek philosopher, was born in Sinope (in modern day Sinop, Turkey) about 412 BC (according to other sources 399 BC), and died in 323 BC at Corinth.
		Attracted by the ascetic teaching of Antisthenes, a student of Socrates, Diogenes became his pupil, despite the brutality with which he was received, and rapidly surpassed his master both in reputation and in the austerity of his life.
		Diogenes maintained that all the artificial growths of society were incompatible with happiness and that morality implies a return to the simplicity of nature.

		It seems that Varley wanted the Tarot to be a 'key' for the Diogenes' occult operations, but the elderly Blake, realizing that the Diogenes represented the ``chartered'' forces of the establishment, got Palmer to disperse the cards.
		After all this confusion, it fell to Disraeli to put the Diogenes back together, which he did with the assistance of Mycroft Holmes.
		Information passed by me to Monro proved early on (1886) that there was a leak; certain criminal elements were able to act upon the information and the fact that I had it, and what is more did so extremely rapidly.

	Chapter The Greek Interpreter of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle
		I had come to believe that he was an orphan with no relatives living, but one day, to my very great surprise, he began to talk to me about his brother.
		It was after tea on a summer evening, and the conversation, which had roamed in a desultory, spasmodic fashion from golf clubs to the causes of the change in the obliquity of the ecliptic, came round at last to the question of atavism and hereditary aptitudes.
		‘The Diogenes Club is the queerest club in London, and Mycroft, one of the queerest men.

	The Diogenes Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Diogenes Club is a fictional gentleman's club created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and featured in several Sherlock Holmes stories, most notably "The Greek Interpreter".
		It seems to have been named after Diogenes the Cynic (although this is never expanded upon in the original stories) and was co-founded by Sherlock's indolent older brother, Mycroft Holmes.
		Although there is no hint in the original Sherlock Holmes Canon that the Diogenes Club is anything but what it seems to be, several later writers have developed and made use of the idea that the club was founded as a front for the British secret service.

		Mycroft, we are informed, was a founder of the Diogenes Club, a private club that worked very hard at remaining very private.
		Diogenes was, of course, the traveler seeking an honest man by the light of his lantern, a traveler seeking light.
		The Travellers' Club, a club for traveling men seeking light, was, in reality, a Masonic Lodge wherein the Brothers Holmes and Brother John Watson sat regularly with the leading men in British government.

		In essence, the Diogenes Club, like most intelligence organisations before it, can be seen as an instrument of the crown, rather than the state.
		He decided the Diogenes Club, with its hand-picked semi-autonomous agents, and lack of Government pressure (or indeed knowledge) should continue.
		However, he had recently discovered that the Circus was even more corrupt than he'd always suspected (he had resigned twice on matters of principle) and much of the organisation was in disarray, owing to the events that revealed this, the exposure of the biggest double agent scandal since the 1930s.

	The Man from the Diogenes Club by Kim Newman - Official sffworld.com review
		It concerns itself with Richard Jeperson, psychic investigator for The Diogenes Club, a top secret government agency — as put in the book ‘the least publicised of Britain’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies’ — whose role is non-political, yet designed to solve all those unusual cases the normal forces of justice are incapable of solving.
		Aiding Richard in his work is Fred Regent, a policeman assigned to the club and his lovely assistant and Emma-Peel-like, Vanessa, with a mysterious past.
		Swellhead, for example, though at first glance a James Bondian pastiche, works on another level as it also deals sympathetically with the political disinterest in and closure of the Club, the semiretirement of Richard as well as a passing on of responsibility from Richard and his colleagues to a new generation.

	This Just In...News from The Agony Column
		With his encyclopedic mind, it was certain that Newman would advance The Diogenes Club to the present day, and equally certain that a member of that august institution would step forth to do no less than save the world, repeatedly.
		Because Mycroft is eventually revealed to play a key role in the British government, the Diogenes Club has been often used by later writers as a sort of stand-in for the British Secret Service.
		And if 'The Man From the Diogenes Club' swings from the sixties and seventies, you can be certain that the eighties and beyond are beckoning.

	McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Closing Time
		Old ones, and mock-old, with elderly sofas and crackling fireplaces, newspapers, and traditions of speech or of silence, and new clubs, the Groucho and its many knock-offs, where actors and journalists go to be seen, to drink, to enjoy their glowering solitude, or even to talk.
		It was a place to go once the pubs closed, that was all it ever was, and despite Nora's doomed attempts to serve food or even to send out a cheery monthly newsletter to all her club's members reminding them that the club now served food, that was all it would ever be.
		Most of the people drinking there were men, although women passed through from time to time, and Nora had recently acquired a glamourous permanent fixture in the shape of a deputy, a blonde Polish emigree who called everybody "darlink" and who helped herself to drinks whenever she got behind the bar.

		In The Man from the Diogenes Club the glossary is at the back of the book, which isn’t quite as convenient, but it is very necessary so I’m pleased Monkey Brain elected to include it.
