He thought about what his brother had said, about him taking up a career in banking. He honestly couldn't see that happening. He wasn't going to go into the Civil Service, like his brother, either, and he certainly wasn't going to join the Army like his father. But what did that leave? Going back to sea? Setting up a trading company and importing foodstuffs and silk from China?
It suddenly occurred to him that the past few days, when he had been set a series of problems to solve and had pretty much solved them all, had been some of the best fun he'd had for ages. He liked solving problems. It satisfied an itch inside his brain. He had particularly liked seeing the expressions on the faces of von Webenau, Herr Holtzbrink, and Count Shucalow when he explained on his own brother's face when Mycroft had seen the cardboard model of the tower. It had been a thrill, and he wanted to see if he could get that thrill again. The problem was that he didn't see how he could make that into a career. The closest he could come to it would be joining the police force, but he really didn't see himself in uniform, and his experience of the police, albeit limited do far, was that they turned up at the scene of a crime, said some things that were already obvious to everyone, and arrested the nearest suspicious-looking men.
