Did Sherlock Holmes ever say- elementary my dear Watson?
Sherlock HolmesThis is a common misconception, actually. Not once did Sherlock say these words.In the story The Crooked Man, Holmes says: "Elementary," and he often addresses Dr. Watson as, "My dear Watson." Personally, I believe that this quote probably came from one of the early plays or episodes of Sherlock Holmes, and so now everyone naturally associates it with him. (Just a theory, though.)
What is a quote to show Irene Adler outsmarted Holmes?
Here is the last paragraph from 'A Scandal in Bohemia':__And that was how a great scandal threatened to affect the kingdom of Bohemia, and how the best plans of Mr. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by a woman's wit. He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honourable title of the woman.In 'The Five Orange Pips' Holmes says:__"I have been beaten four times - three times by men and once by a woman."

What was the game according to Sherlock Holmes?
This is an easy one! Sherlock Holmes was such a smart mastermind detective that he considered each case similar to "a game". It was so easy for him! I'm guessing you're referring to the quote "Come, Watson, come! The game is afoot. Not a word! Into your clothes and come!" I love that quote! But anyway, yeah Holmes considered the mystery and the chase--the final point of suspense--as a game, a dangerous game in which he also won. Lol this is random but--I also like this quote, because it applies to me when I'm writing my books and so is helpful as well as funny-- "Cut out the poetry, Watson." ---Susan
Is guy riches character of Sherlock Holmes is his latest move more like his real character in books?
The Holmes in the new movie is not at all like the real Sherlock Holmes! To quote a critic (that I happen to agree with) he is like Rambo quoting poetry.

The cook/house keeper was Mrs. Hudson ------ Mrs. Turner in 'A Scandal in Bohemia.' In 'The Problem of Thor Bridge,' we find the following quote from Sherlock Holmes: ". . . when you have consumed the two hard-boiled eggs with which our new cook has favoured us." [the NEW cook is unnamed, however]

What does Sherlock Holmes think is more important than imagination?
I think the closest thing to an answer for that question is this quote from 'The Red-Headed League': "... for strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination."
Where does Sherlock Holmes quote that the hound of the Baskervilles is the hardest case he has faced?
a few pages into chapter 5 (in my book it is page 60) he says "Well, I dont profess to understand it yet ............ I am not sure that of all the five hundred cases of capital importance which I have handled there is one which cuts so deep."
