Sherlock Holmes

Conan Doyle never says

Fulfilled - maybe, maybe not. He certainly built a reputation and benefited financially from Holmes`existence, but the fact that he tried to kill him off at Reichenbach Falls because he wanted to concentrate on his historical novels indicates that he had grown weary of Holmes and his cases.

he is not going to worry about it

"And also with the result of causing it to turn upon its master at the other side. Some of the blows of my cane came home, and roused its snakish temper, so that it flew upon the first person it saw. In this way I am no doubt indirectly responsible for Dr. Grimesby Roylott's death, and I cannot say that it is likely to weigh very heavily upon my conscience."

Sherlock Holmes never married. But he was certainly respectful of Irene Adler's abilities and admired her. Holmes "never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer." Holmes preferred a life of pure intellect, devoid of emotion. As to Irene Adler -- the only woman to beat Holmes -- he would never use her name and referred to her only as "The woman". She married Godfrey Norton with Holmes in disguise as a witness.in the second movie "the game of shadows" she dies as professor James kills her when he thinks that she can be of no use to him

The Times (London) though he often read the Daily Telegraph or the Standard among many others.

The editors were also the original publishers of the stories. The first two novellas were published by Wark, Locke, and Company and Lippincott's Magazine, respectively. For the later stories, there was often one in the UK and one in the US. In the UK, The Strand Magazine edited one version while various magazines edited another version of the stories in the US.

Holmes is extremely interested in "all that is bizarre" or unusual. The nature of this case and its clues are definitely unique, so the interest of Holmes and Watson is peaked. ...

Conan Doyles' hero detective wears a deerstalker.
While Holmes wore a Deerstalker in one story, he was equally inclined to top hats and, in disguise, even sailor's caps.

*Additional Note: Holmes' so-called "classic look" of the deerstalker cap and Inverness capecoat were strictly for traveling and country wear. The famous deerstalker is even referred to as a "cloth traveling cap." While in London, where Holmes spent most of his time, he carried himself as a gentleman, and could usually be found in a top hat and coat while about town.

Dr. Watson is called upon late at night by a female friend of his wife. Her husband has been absent for several days and, as he is an opium addict, she is sure he has been indulging in a lengthy drug binge in a dangerous East End opium den. Frantic with worry, she seeks Dr. Watson's help in fetching him home. Watson does this, but he also finds his friend Sherlock Holmes in the den, disguised as an old man, trying to extract information about a new case from the addicts in the den.

Mr. Neville St. Clair, a respectable and punctual country businessman, has disappeared. Making the matter even more mysterious is that Mrs. St. Clair is quite sure that she saw her husband at a second-floor window of the opium den, in Upper Swandam Lane, a rather rough part of town near the docks. He withdrew into the window immediately, and Mrs. St. Clair is quite sure that there was something very wrong.

Naturally, she tries to enter the building, but her way was blocked by the opium den's owner, a Lascar. She quickly fetches the police, but they cannot find Mr. St. Clair. The room, in whose window she saw her husband, is that of a dirty, disfigured beggar, well known to the police, by the name of Hugh Boone. The police are about to put this report down a mistake of some kind when Mrs. St. Clair spots and identifies a box of wooden bricks that her husband said he would buy for their son. A further search turns up some of her husband's clothes. Later, his coat, with the pockets full of several pounds' worth of pennies and halfpennies, is found in the Thames just below the building.

The beggar is arrested and locked up at the police station, and Holmes initially is quite convinced that Mr. St. Clair has been the unfortunate victim of murder. However, several days after Mr. St. Clair's disappearance, his wife receives a letter in his own writing. The arrival of this letter forces Holmes to reconsider his conclusions, leading him eventually to an extraordinary solution. Taking a bath sponge to the police station in a Gladstone bag, Holmes washes Boone's still-dirty face, causing his face to be revealed - the face of Neville St. Clair! Upon Mr. St. Clair's immediate confession, this solves the mystery, and also creates a few problems.

It seems that Mr. St. Clair has been leading a double life, one of respectability, and the other as a beggar. In his youth, he had been an actor before becoming a newspaper reporter. In order to research an article, he had disguised himself as a beggar for a short time, during which he earned a very large amount of money. Later in his life, he returned to the street to beg for several days in order to pay a large debt. Given a choice between his newspaper salary and his high beggar earnings, he eventually became a professional beggar. His takings were large enough that he was able to establish himself as a country gentleman, marry well, and begin a respectable family. His wife never knew what he did for a living, and Holmes agrees to preserve Mr. St. Clair's secret as long as no more is heard of Hugh Boone.

The story is unique among Holmes stories in two ways: when the mystery is resolved, it turns out that no crime has been committed and there is no villain; and unlike other stories, Holmes (or in fact, Doyle) does not explain how he solved the mystery, and leaves it to the intelligent reader to work out (the clue is fairly enough given in the story).

Well, according to some, Conan Doyle got the name Holmes from Oliver Wendell Holmes and the name Sherlock from a famous violinist. There are many different guesses on how Sherlock Holmes was named, but this is the one I think is true.

I believe you are referring to the case Holmes termed "that little affair of the Vatican cameos" he was involved in at the time of Sir Charles Baskerville's death. In that case, Holmes probably went to the Vatican; otherwise, I am not sure to what you are referring.

Lord Blackwood had a clip on his noose that shifted the weight to his waist and took a mixture of ancient herbs to give himself the appearance of being dead. The herbs momentarily stop one's pulse from being felt. The limestone outside of Lord Blackwood's grave wasn't shattered by supernatural force. Instead, it was shattered beforehand, and glued together by the honeycomb substance Holmes and Watson saw while going through the redheaded dwarf's quarters.

'The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place' was published in The Strand Magazine' in April 1927, and then it was included in 'The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes' later that same year. It was the last Sherlock Holmes story written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

"[Dr Roylott] went out to Calcutta, where, by his professional skill and his force of character, he established a large practice. In a fit of anger, however, caused by some robberies which had been perpetrated in the house, he beat his native butler to death, and narrowly escaped a capital sentence. As it was, he suffered a long term of imprisonment, and afterwards returned to England a morose and disappointed man." -- Helen Stoner, 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band'
