ammunition boots were the standard footwear in the british army ,
so the job status-- might be that he held a high position in the british army cos he had an authoritative look

ananth_patri

evey one feels so abt the job but not LAMPARD.......Well then we must look for other alternatives may be somethin in connection with his sunbaked skin and his dark complection....He must be a murderer someone of tht negative role cause he tries tio cover his person by the boots.....may be the millitary personal wont have a dark complection in BRITAN???huh??

LAMPARD

Guyz,i need you to be more specific about the job.Anyone can say he was in the army.But detectives know beyond that(dats y dey are detectives

).
No,answers regarding family is incomplete or wrong.
Should i give the answer??

ananth_patri

also lighter skin on the brow also indicates tht he was camoflaugin for sometime...covering his face or somethin which made tht part of his body not to tan .............I dont know whether i am wonderin off the real prospective ......

ananth_patri

ok if u say he was in the detective agency he must be a grey hound detective or somethin then???

anchitsaini

His job-Royal artillery,served in India.
Points in favour-Expression of authority.
-Sun baked skin(since he was british and he had sun-baked skin,it was obvious that he was not serving in england.Where else could he had served but in India!!).
-He had simple stride(indication that he was not in cavalry).
-Lighter skin on side of brow(indication that he was wearing a cap or something which further indicates that he may be in the artillery).
-His small height(indicates he was not sapper[refer to wiki for meaning]).
-His being a little overweight(indication of stand-and-deliver kinda job).

Status of job-Very recently retired.
Points in favour-Was still wearing his ammunition boots.
-Was still tanned(indicates that he had recently returned from India).

Family-Lost his wife recently in childbed.Has two children.
Points in favour-His mourning shows he has lost someone very dear and that too,recently.
-The fact that he is doing his own shopping looks as though it were his wife.
-He has been buying things for his children(There is rattle which shows one of them is very young.Thus,the wife probably died in childbed.The fact that he has a picture book shows that there is another child.)

This deduction was done by Sherlock Holmes along with his brother Mycroft...so,this was extremely difficult for any of us...but still,nice try by all...(the mystery wasnt copy pasted...took it from a sherlock holmes book...had to separate the entire story from this part of it...

From the given description of a man,identify whatever you can about the man.
Details-1)Untidy attire.
2)Sheaf of legal papers
3)A watch which had a sign on it which depicted a square and a set of compasses joined together.
4)Your Boss says,"As soon as he entered the room,he started breathing a bit heavily."
There are 4 things that you can deduce.I want all of them with proper reasoning.
Standard-medium.
Go for it...
