The door opens and Ricoletti enters.  He walks with the aid of a cane, as a result of his  severe club foot (meaning his foot is turned out and we walks on the inside of his foot).  Someone would have to be blind not to notice his condition.


Ricoletti: Mr. Sherlock Holmes?  I have a heard you have remarkable powers of observation and deduction.  What can you deduce about me?


Holmes: You own a printing press.  You run a successful business, but you are unsatisfied with your workers.


Ricoletti: Very good, Mr. Holmes, but there are two things about me that you did not observe!


Holmes: And what would those be?


Ricoletti: First, I have a club foot. And second, I have an abominable wife! You could kill her.  I would pay you a great deal of money.


Holmes: My dear Mr. Ricoletti.  I am a detective.  I solve crimes.  I don’t commit them.
