Homes Holmes came from a class of moneyed people who did not have to 'work' for a living. As he was a restless person who needed to 'do' something, he set out to solve crimes. However, if he didn't find an interesting case he indulged in opium dens, cocaine, science experiments & violin playing. Holmes older brother,Mycroft,was (by his own words) too lazy to do anything.
