1. Holmes invites his client to tell his story "omitting no detail, however slight."
2. He goes to the scene of the crime and looks around for clues, such as footprints, cigar ashes, displaced objects, dust patterns (in "Black Peter", Holmes noted that a rectangular object had been removed from a shelf because he noticed a dust free patch on the shelf.)
3. He asks questions and interviews people he believes have some interest in the case (the victim's or suspect's family, employers, landladies). Sometimes he gets Watson or one of the street kids to do the legwork.
4. He analyzes the data he has found, trying to put it into a pattern. In other words, he thinks. He usually smokes his pipe during that time, and asks Watson to keep silent or come back later.
5. He tries out his conclusions, confronts the villain and closes the case.

What is Sherlock Holmes home in London use for today?
The fictional character's address has become a museum to Sherlock Holmes and matches the description of the apartment from the books.
There was not a 221b Baker Street until recent years. The numbers on Baker Street only went to 85 during the time the Conan Doyle stories were written.
What is Sherlock Holmes email address?
There are only two stories indicating there is a telephone at 221b Baker Street with no mention of a phone number.
In 'The Adventure of the Three Garridebs' Holmes calls Nathan Garrideb to setup an interview at Garrideb's home.
In 'The Adventure of the Retired Colourman' Holmes says, "Thanks to the telephone and the help of the Yard, I can usually get my essentials without leaving this room."
Both of these stories are late in Holmes' career, so it is likely the phone was a late addition.

First of all, there is no "spectral" or specter or ghost in the story, and she used the term "speckled band" because that is what she thought she saw.

What was Sherlock Holmes like as a person?
Sherlock Holmes is very cynical. He's very clever and observant, of course. He's a loner, and he is never interested in women (the only one he was slightly interested in was Irene Adler). But he's also very brave and is willing to "rough it" in order to get a job done. He doesn't really sympathize with his clients. If he ever makes a mistake or loses a client, he berates himself greatly. He's very conceited and vain, but he still admits that his older brother, Mycroft Holmes, is more observant than he, though he himself is more energetic.
Personally I believe he has Aspergers. This carries an area of high operancy, like incredible intelligence in an area, such as clear observation and great ability to see connections the rest of us don't. Or great at maths, or music etc. They tend to be loners or have few friends and live by rules and the drive to complete tasks. There are other bits of the spectrum that apply to his personality too explaining his behaviours and intelligence.
What is the story of Mr Sherlock Holmes?
A fictional character created by the famous writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is a consulting detective/sleuth who solves cases simply with the power of observation and deduction. The reason people are drawn to this particular character is probably because he was the unlikely detective, a cocaine addicted man with an obsession for studying crime.

Yes. He was based on a criminal called Adam Worth, who operated in America and Britain. He was arrested for robbery for 7 years, but once he got out, stole some really expensive stuff in London (Diamonds, I think!)

What is a misleading detail in the story the red headed league?
I think the misleading detail in this case is the Red Headed League itself. The league was only formed to lure Jabez Wilson into doing the fake 'work'. Wilson would have got his post even if he was bald because the sole point of creating the league was to remove him from his shop from ten a.m. to two p.m. every day. However it is important to note that Wilson was not the target but the unwitting facilitator to the attempted crime. This story uses one of Conan Doyle's favourite motifs of the decoy. For similar stories where a character is decoyed from their usual environment to facilitate a crime see 'The Stockbroker's Clerk'; 'The Naval Treaty'; 'The Second Stain'; 'The Three Garridebs' and arguably 'The Copper Beeches'.

He deduces that it was a warning, and a friendly warning, by someone who wished to remain anonymous. It was rushed due to fear of discovery and carried in the pocket until such time as it could be mailed. He also knew that most of the words were cut out of The Times (London), and the other words were printed to conceal the sender. We learn at the end of the story that he detected a hint of perfume on the letter, which indicated a female sender.

What is the main idea for chapter 5 in the hound of the baskervilles?
1. A hugely entertaining and totally absorbing book which covers a further twelve of Sherlock Holmes' investigations originally published in The Strand magazine.
Holmes adventures are to me fascinating, revealing as they do the dark underbelly of Victorian society and many of them would create lurid headlines were they to actually occur today, even Holmes himself is not free from scandal when he is revealed by Watson to be of all things, a cocaine addict in A Scandal in Bohemia.
2. From his battle of the sexes with the resourceful adventuress Miss Irene Adler in, A Scandal in Bohemia, to his foiling of the criminal intentions of the "fourth smartest man in London" in the truly bizarre and at times comical, The Red-Headed League, Holmes is called upon to use his extraordinary powers of deduction and his ability to observe when others merely see, in a battle of wits against as varied and as determined a bunch of criminals as ever stepped outside the law.
3. At the chapters , as my firend mentions more likely short stories , they have a problem on the first of the each one and then holmes ussually based on mind and accompany with watson solves the problems .As you probably know Holmes character us comes out of Doyle's himself teacher Doctor josef bell . and between the 59 shorts stories the supporters call this as the best serie .

What was Sherlock Holmes education like?
By his own account, Sherlock Holmes attended university for two years, meaning he had a more than adequate education. The details of his education apart from that are not included in the canon, however, apart from Holmes' statement that his area of study was different from most of the other students.
(My personal theory is that he studied chemistry at Oxford, which is more of a history/English school, as opposed to Cambridge, known for maths and science, but that's just me.)
