What was the first Sherlock Holmes story published in The Strand Magazine?

A Sherlock Holmes story titled 'The Adventure of the Cardboard Box' was contained in The Strand Magazine (January 1893); however, it was subsequently banned (by Conan Doyle himself) until 1917 though it did appear in unauthorized American books before that time. The reason given for the ban was the elicit (for the Victorian era) adultery portrayed in the story. When it did reappear it was, and still is, typically placed in the collected short stories titled 'His Last Bow' rather than in its original order in 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.' Another anomaly in this tale is that the so-called mind-reading incident at the beginning of the story was transplanted to 'The Resident Patient,' and it remains in both stories (American version only).

Did Sherlock Holmes ever have a girlfriend?

He was engaged to Charles Augustus Milverton's housemaid. At the end of 'The Adventure of the Copper Beeches,' Watson writes "As to Miss Violet Hunter, my friend Holmes, rather to my disappointment, manifested no further interest in her when once she had ceased to be the centre of one of his problems." Holmes does not show any sign that he had a girlfriend before he met Watson. Most of the time he has a suspicious air towards women based on the fact that he states more then once that you can't trust them. Some of the film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes show that he does, like Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) and the latest Sherlock Holmes film staring Robert Downey Jr. (2009) In the 2009 film, a character called Irene Adler is added to the story to be the romantic interest for Holmes. This character was taken from one of Conan Doyle's short stories called A Scandal in Bohemia. In that story Holmes ventures in a disguise to Irene's home in search of an important photograph. The story is interesting and Irene's character is memorable because of the fact that she ends up being the only woman ever to outwit Holmes. As it turns out Holmes is impressed by the lady and keeps a photograph of her in memory of the case. Although a lot of people over the years exaggerate upon Irene Adler and Holmes, in the original story there is nothing to suspect a romantic relationship ever happening. In the story Irene marryies a man and leaves England. This character was never fully brought up again in any of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Save only by name.
