Sherlock Holmes

"he refused to associate himself with any investigation which did not tend towards the unusual, and even the fantastic." -- 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band

At times he wanted to, but he was always convinced not to. Watson never published any of these cases because it would make for a boring story wouldn't it?

Never, it does not appear anywhere in the stories.

Her younger brother, Selden the Notting Hill murderer, has recently escaped from Princetown prison, and he is living upon the moor. He dies upon the moor soon after Watson discovers Holmes' hideout.

'Oh, my God! Helen! It was the band! The speckled band!'

Mystery

he waited for Roylott's next attack

he is vafraid to draw attention to himself

By my count, Sherlock Holmes said that phrase 88 times in 35 of the 60 stories, and he wrote it as a salutation for a letter three more times. The list of stories would indeed be a long one.

By the way, Holmes only said the word 'elementary' six times, and he wrote it twice though he never said: "Elementary, my dear Watson."

Holmes and Dr. Grimesby Roylott

to confuse someone or be confused :-P I'm 12 and i only know that thanks to Sherlock Holmes.

Dr Joseph Bell (1837 - 1911) was Professor of Clinical Surgery at Edinburgh University

If you mean in 'The Musgrave Ritual', they found ". . . a linen bag, which contained within it a mass of old rusted and discoloured metal and several dull-coloured pieces of pebble or glass."

It is not possible to work out what the equations are.

They were met by Perkins, the groom, at the train station who tells all of them the escape of Selden, the Notting Hill murderer. Next they were met at the Hall by the Barrymores who informed Sir Henry that they wished to leave his service at his earliest convenience.

Wilson learned that the tenant at No. 4, Pope's Court (the offices of the Red-headed League) was a solicitor known to the landlord as William Morris (not Duncan Ross) who had just moved out and gave a false forwarding address.

Sherlock Holmes asked the exceptional Miss Violet Hunter to lock Mrs. Toller in the wine cellar. He wanted time to explore the premises, and he evidently did not believe Mrs. Toller could be trusted.

Pumba :)

'The Red-Headed League' probably took place in 1890, and the gold sovereign was equivalent to 1 British pound at that time, which, in turn, was worth about $4 US. Inflation would make the sovereign's buying power about $100 in today's money.

No one else was looking

Both are early archetypal characters which created the 'ratiocinitive detective. These authors are widely believed to have created the detective figure and crime fiction genre which has led to film noir, femme fatal, gangster movies and modern shows such as CSI.

As for charecteristics:

Rationality/Logic

Huge Intelligence

Social Isolation

Tact

Use of deduction to solve mysteries

Both have a close companion (Watson + the unnamed narrator)

Gentleman

Morality

I guess it was in 1881

"Sir Charles, as is well known, made large sums of money in South African speculation." This sentence is taken from the Devon Country Chronicle dated June 14th in the year of the story (whenever that may be).

A carbuncle. Usually it's red.
