The Diogenes Club was really very famous. After John had been here once he had done a little digging. The point of it was that there was to be no speaking whatsoever in any public area and even in private areas, it was discouraged. All of the important men on business and government were allowed to sit in peace without having to worry about deal making. Or nagging families that wanted the time they did not normally have. John thought the idea of the Diogenes Club was a good one. But sexist and perhaps an obvious sign that they should cut back on back room dealings and be a better, humanist country.
He did clear his throat twice on the way back to Mycroft's office, if only to see the old men grouse and rustle their papers. It amused him.
Back with Mycroft, John didn't bother to sit.
"Next time just call me. None of the public phones have power but you have my number, Mycroft. Do you have eyes on him?" John didn't like to be initially forthcoming.
