Sherlock Holmes

Rectal thermometer is the only way that I know of.

Sherlock Holmes came from a rich family. "My ancestors were country squires, who appear to have led much the same life as is natural to their class." Country squires meant landowners, hence "old money". He was well educated, as one can tell from his speech, and his uncaring attitude towards money speaks of a life where he never wanted for anything he might've truly needed.

As far as who lived next door to him (such as in 220 Baker Street), it is not mentioned in the canonical stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Only does it say that he lives in a boarding house with two others - the first being Mrs. Hudson, the landlady, who lives on the lower (ground) floor and cooks and cleans the house, and the other being (naturally) Dr. John Watson, whose bedroom is on the third (second) floor. Holmes' room is on the second (first floor) as well as the men's shared sitting room.

The only other I can think of is Madame Tussaud's, which opened on the Baker Street Bazaar in 1835.

Inspector G Lestrade who appears in 13 of the Sherlock Holmes adventures and was named after a friend of Conan Doyle from his days at the University of Edinburgh, a medical student by the name of Joseph Alexandre Lestrade.

Sherlock Holmes did indeed. Sher standed for Sure and Lock because he solved cases so if you put it together he was sure to solve and unlock the case. And Holmes because he is very comforting as a home is to anyone.

He is an educated man who is thoughtful, trust worthy, brave and compassionate.

John Burges Watson (b.1803 near Kingston in Surrey, d. 1881) was an architect. His best-known design was the Duck House in St James' Park, built for the Ornithological Society of London in 1840.

The climax is when the lurid spark of a lantern shone through the newly opened crack in the flagstones of the bank vault floor then a white, womanly hand appeared in the opening and withdrew as suddenly as it had appeared. Next two men climbed out of the hole, and Holmes sprung out and seized one of the intruders by the collar.

The story starts when a man drops dead in the moors. A beggar tries to rob him. Holmes is told of an almost identical murder. They follow Mortimor and Henry Baskerville out so that nothing happens to him. Holmes and Watson find a man pointing a gun in a nearby cab and warn Henry. Watson and Henry later go out to the moors when they see a butler that looks like the gunman in the cab. He has a candle and is waving it about. Watson asks him of his actions. The butler disappears. They see a distant light that looks like a candle. They go out to the moors and find a lit candle in a stone cave. The beggar in the beginning of the story is spying on them.

Dr John Watson.

The novels and short stories were written from 1886 until 1927.

Professor James Moriarty is a fictional character and the archenemy of the detective Sherlock Holmes in the fiction of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Widely considered to be the first true example of a supervillain, Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmes as the "Napoleon of Crime" and he is also the primary antagonist of the the entire franchise. Doyle lifted the phrase from a real Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth, a real life model for Moriarty.
Professor Moriarty was Sherlock Holmes' nemesis. The only enemy that he could not beat. They were described as equals in skill and wits.

It was during a major social change in Britain while Britain itself was becoming a world economic power and growing suburbs- plus a growing crime rate.

it has changed through media and technology!

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is the author of this novel.

He was the dead uncle of Sir Henry Baskerville. Sir Henry had been living in Canada, and he had been summoned to London as he was to inherit the Baskerville estate valued at 740 thousand pounds (well over 10 million pounds today).

Because, Sherlock is like the expert at solving crimes.

Dr. Mortimer was one of the principle players in "The Hound of the Baskervilles", whose walking stick was found and shown to Holmes, who was able to deduce much about the man before seeing him. Mortimer needed help with addressing "The Baskerville Curse". :}

Professor James Moriarty. a retired mathematics professor, Holmes refers to him as "the Napoleon of crime." In the case, "The Final Problem" found in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, Holmes takes on this criminal mastermind in a battle of wits and physical prowess that ultimately ends in the apparent death of both in Reichenbach Falls.
