Sherlock Holmes

The snake's master/trainer set out a saucer of milk to lure the snake back into the safe after it went into the adjoining room.

The man himself? NO

He was imagined and created in fiction by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a doctor and (to make ends meet) writer.

Doyle learned to medically examine patients and observe them from Dr. Joseph Bell, who did some observations on his patients like Holmes.

Many agree (as Doyle said himself) that Bell was the inspiration to Doyle to create Holmes.

He could indeed be expressive. Remember him grinning more and more as that guy called him a busy-body among other things? However, if you mean "made into a cartoon", then, certainly. Check out Sherlock Holmes cartoons, Sherlock Hound (anime), Sherlock in the 22nd century and others. There are also animated characters very much like him. Jimmy Kudo/Conan Edogawa, L of Death Note and The Great Mouse Detective (Disney) based on the children's book series Basil of Baker Street come to mind.

Following is Watson's explanation from the beginning of chapter 8:

"From this point onwards I will follow the course of events by transcribing my own letters to Mr Sherlock Holmes which lie before me on the table. One page is missing, but otherwise they are exactly as written, and show my feelings and suspicions of the moment more accurately than my memory, clear as it is upon these tragic events, can possibly do."

Then at the beginning of chapter 11 Watson writes:

"The extract from my private diary which forms the last chapter has brought my narrative up to the 18th of October, a time when these strange events began to move swiftly towards their terrible conclusion. The incidents of the next few days are indelibly graven upon my recollection, and I can tell them without reference to the notes made at the time."

The term yeoman has had several meanings throughout history (particularly in the military); however, in the context below, it means a land-owner or farmer. The same word occurs in 'The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire' with a similar definition yet the term 'yeomanry' is used by Holmes in 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' with the military designation.

"It chanced that this Hugo came to love (if, indeed, so dark a passion may be known under so bright a name) the daughter of a yeoman who held lands near the Baskerville estate." -- from the Baskerville family document entrusted to Dr. Mortimer

if you were "smart" and read ed the first letter in every paragraph you'll find the answer

1.care towards the society

'To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'

"I only caught a glimpse of her at the moment, but she was a lovely woman, with a face that a man might die for." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'

'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.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'

"I have been beaten four times - three times by men and once by a woman." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Five Orange Pips'

That would be either Athelney Jones in 'The Sign of Four' or Peter Jones in 'The Red-Headed League though there are indications they are one and the same.

In many versions of Sherlock Holmes (including the original stories), Watson served in the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80) while in the BBC TV series 'Sherlock,' the war is known as Operation Enduring Freedom (begun in 2001).

An educational and interactive pastiche titled 'Dominoes Two Sherlock Holmes: The Norwood Mystery' was adapted by Jeremy Page based upon the Sherlock Holmes short story 'The Adventure of the Norwood Builder' written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Julia Stoner. "Julia went there at Christmas two years ago, and met there a half-pay Major of Marines, to whom she became engaged." -- Helen Stoner, 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band'

Sir Henry Baskerville himself raises the issue of the missing boot at the hotel.

Sherlock Holmes speaks to Watson as if he was Sherlock's student. But then again Watson really is his student--he follows him around on his cases and learns from him by watching him use his deductive reasoning and observation skills. Hardly ever will you find a scenario where Sherlock speaks kindly or with feeling towards Watson. Watson even described him once as an "unfeeling robot set to solve crimes and shun the monotony of life." But of few of the quotes in which a little of Sherlock's inner self shines through include the following:

-"Come, friend Watson, the curtain rings up for the last act."

-"Watson, if it should ever strike you that I am getting a little over-confident in my powers, or giving less pains to a case than it deserves, kindly whisper `Norbury` in my ear, and I shall be infinitely obliged to you."

-"[Watson and I] also have our diplomatic secrets."

-"This is my dear friend and associate, Doctor Watson--the sole of discretion, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself."

-"If you had killed Watson, you would not have made it out of this room alive."

Nothing was stolen because Sherlock Holmes stopped the robbery, but I will answer the question: "How many pounds were stored in the bank vault in 'The Red-Headed League'?"

This is a difficult question to answer because the French Napoleon gold coin comes in a variety of denominations. Assuming the coins were 20 Francs (by far the most common at the time) they would equal the gold content of about 23,800 British Sovereign gold coins or about 23,800 British pounds. The equivalent buying power would be well over 2,000,000 British pounds today.

If you are asking about the weight in American pounds, the thirty thousand 20 Francs coins would weigh about 425 American pounds without the storage crates.

The last sentence in the story reads as follows:

"Of the woman [Rachel Howells] nothing was ever heard, and the probability is that she got away out of England, and carried herself, and the memory of her crime, to some land beyond the seas." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Musgrave Ritual'

A: Study in Scarlet.

Hugh Boone is "The Man with the Twisted Lip" in the story by Arthur Conan Doyle.

It is in the short story¨"The Final Problem," which can be found in the book 'The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.'

No, he comes back in the episode " Cryptid vs. Cryptid"

The "author" of the original books was an Arthur -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But there are several of his characters that he gave the name to:

1. Arthur Charpentier, sub-lieutenant in Her Majesty's Navy, arrested for the murder of Enoch J. Drebber and his secretary, Joseph Stangerson, but later cleared

2. Captain Arthur Morstan, deceased father of Mary Morstan-Watson

3. Arthur Holder, son of Alexander Holder, keeper of the Beryl Coronet

4. Arthur Harry Pinner, employer of Hall Pycroft in 'The Stock-Broker's Clerk'

5. Arthur, the Lord Saltire, son of the Duke of Holdernesse who was kidnapped from the Priory School

6. Arthur H. Staunton, the rising forger

7. Arthur Willaby, one of the two Willaby brothers of the Scowrers in 'The Valley of Fear'

8. Arthur Cadogan West, deceased fiance of Violet Westbury in 'The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans'

Two years

He was not based on Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. The surname helped Arthur Doyle pick Sherlock's own, as he was a patriot and loyal supporter of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

The credit for Holmes's "creation" belonged to Doyle's old tutor, Dr. Joseph Bell.
