I've been listening to "The Sign of the Four" on audiobook, and I had a thought. Do you think this quote applies to Vintage Sheldon?
"My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. But I abhor the dull routine of existence. I crave for mental exaltation."
I'm not sure he "abhors the dull routine of existence", since he has routines of his own making that he relies on, and he enjoys a lot of simple activities and simple foods and such. But...what do you think? Does Vintage Sheldon "crave for mental exaltation"?
