If you every read the story, you should recall about a ventilator so small that a rat might not be able to pass through it, the dummy bell rope that was hooked onto the ventilator, and the bed which was clamped down to the floor. The bell rope could also lay on top of the pillow. These are some of the clues that led to the conclusion of the mystery in ''The Speckled Band''.

What style are Sherlock Holmes stories?

Most of the Sherlock Holmes stories are written in descriptive style. For instance, many stories contain historical fiction (based on actual history), and the actions of the protagonist, Sherlock Holmes, are described in detail. However, many parts of the stories are in narrative style, and mostly when a client is narrating the details of the case. Also, the two short stories written in third person and the two stories written by Sherlock Holmes are mostly narratives. The two styles may, at times, also be mixed together.


How does Sherlock Holmes treat Dr Watson?

Holmes treats Watson like he would treat any other person. Although Watson isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch, Holmes treats him very well. For instance, in the beginning of the book Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles Watson proposes evidence/clues about a "walking stick" that they found in Holmes den. Watson's clues are way off. Holmes (who already knew who's walking stick it was, and who also knew that every one of the clues that Watson proposed was indeed incorrect) did not say a word to him. So that tells you that Holmes is very good to Watson.

Show the character sketch of Sherlock Holmes in The Speckled Band?

In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," Helen Stoner's twin sister, Julia, dies from an unknown cause shortly before being married. Helen, also engaged to be married, worries about her own safety and takes her case to Sherlock Holmes. Using his powers of observation, intelligence, and perseverance, Holmes races to find the murderer. Out of Sherlock Holmes' many talents, observation is the most influential to each of his cases. Helen stares in astonishment as Holmes correctly states that the mud on her jacket sleeve came from riding in a dogcart. Then, upon examining Helen's bedroom, he is the first to realize the wire to the call bell is a fake. Without this important skill, neither Sherlock Holmes nor his crime-solving would be the same. In each of Sherlock Holmes' adventures one thing is proven: no matter how many dead-ends he happens to bumps into, Holmes will never give up. His dedication perseverance when doing something he loves shines throughout each story; he is even willing to get right down on the ground in search of clues. Even a late night excursion to Stoke Moran is not too much for Holmes.As long as he has his faithful associate, Watson, to keep him company no case is ever abandoned. Holmes' mixture of talents would not be complete without his extreme intelligence. Using logical reasoning, he successfully deduces that Dr. Roylott, Helen and Julia's step-father, killed Julia in order to keep the inheritance saved for her. Holmes even has an explanation for the bell wire connected to the ventilator. Roylott uses it as a bridge for his swamp adder to get into the neighboring bedroom, hoping that it will eventually bite Helen. Holmes always puts each piece of the puzzle in its proper place. This case ends happily for Helen, who lives on to be married. It does not, however, end on the same note for Dr. Roylott. The antagonist ultimately gets what he deserves. As for Sherlock Holmes, neither poisonous snakes nor wild baboons will ever keep him off a case.
