To the Red-headed League:
...All red-headed men who are sound in body and mind, and above the age of twenty-one years, are eligible.
{Later}
...Then, again, I have heard it is no use your applying if your hair is light red, or dark red, or anything but real bright, blazing, fiery red.
As a young man I qualified and would have applied for a position in this league. However I no longer qualify, and as an old man will have to re-read this one as I haven't quite pieced together how Holmes solves this riddle. :lol:
