Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes hat von 1881 an eine private Dedektei geführt.

In 'A Study in Scarlet,' after leaving Utah in the United States and doing quite a bit of traveling, both Enoch Drebber and Joseph Stangerson were staying at a boarding-house in Camberwell, which is a district of London south of the Thames River.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the following description by Watson:

His very person and appearance were such as to strike the attention of the most casual observer. In height he was rather over six feet, and so excessively lean that he seemed to be considerably taller. His eyes were sharp and piercing, save during those intervals of torpor to which I have alluded; and his thin, hawk-like nose gave his whole expression an air of alertness and decision. His chin, too, had the prominence and squareness which mark the man of determination. His hands were invariably blotted with ink and stained with chemicals, yet he was possessed of extraordinary delicacy of touch, as I frequently had occasion to observe when I watched him manipulating his fragile philosophical instruments.

He was played by many different people in movies.

Holmes and Watson are following Sir Henry Baskerville and Dr Mortimer into Oxford Street and so down Regent Street when Holmes spots a mysterious bearded figure sitting in a hansom cab on the other side of the street who abruptly flees when Holmes attempts to confront him.

Sherlock Holmes.

It signifies a story of Sherlock Holmes in which the so called Speckled Band are the last words of a dying lady. It is later uncovered that the speckled band is a fatal snake which was used by the villian to attack his victims.

She wanted to consult Sherlock Holmes to ask whether or not she should accept a situation as governess. Holmes initially thought his practice was degenerating into an agency for trivial matters, but he was soon proven to be in error.

Mordecai Smith was the owner of the Aurora, the boat in which Jonathan Small and Tonga tried to escape in 'The Sign of Four.'

Sinister, eerie, unnatural, ghostly, supernatural.

Sound cool huh!? Best Wishes in reading the book!

Sherlock Holmes was not the type to believe in the supernatural so his faith in anything would not be unquestioning. There is a line in The Adventure of the Gloria Scott where, while he is telling a story about his friend Victor Trevor, Holmes said he had been on his way to chapel when Trevor's dog bit his ankle. Therefore, one can assume he was of a Christian background of some sort. One could also make an argument that he was more of an athiest but had to study religious things in case of a case involving religion. There have been stories, though, of him being of other religions but those are fan created.

They typically took a Hansom Cab. It was a single horse, could hold two people and the driver stood/sat behind and above the passengers who were sort of protected by sides and a roof.

Holmes's birthday is generally accepted as January 6th 1854, this date is not actually recorded in Sir Arthur's documents and he is believed to be British.

There is no mention of Sherlock Holmes' birthplace in any of Conan Doyle's writings. We only know that Holmes came "up to London," which means he moved to London from elsewhere.

'I have come to you, Mr Holmes,' she said, 'because you once enabled my employer, Mrs Cecil Forrester, to unravel a little domestic complication. She was much impressed by your kindness and skill.'

tension is created when the hound is chasing after the litte girl. and when a spectre is staalking the kiler of the girl.

In The Hound of the Baskervilles, I do not believe that Holmes ever gave credence to the theory that the hound was supernatural or imaginary. When Sir Henry Baskerville lost his new boot then regained it while losing an old boot, this instructive incident proved conclusively to Holmes that the hound was real.

Hercules Poirot is a character in some Agatha Christie books. When he solves crimes, he uses the method of thinking or using his little gray cells.

No, he doesn't. He's been up against the hound of Bakervilles; Watson mentioned something about a giant rat of Sumatra, but that's pretty much all when it comes to big animals

There were no connections between the two. Remember that Jack the Ripper was real and Sherlock Holmes was a fictitious character. There have been a couple of attempts to merge the two and there is at least one movie that connects the two.

John Clay aka Vincent Spaulding. Archie aka Duncan Ross, aka William Morris, etc. By the way, from the description in the story only the former actually entered the room (bank vault).

How did Holmes use the knowledge that Mr.wilson's assistant liked photography to solve the case.

Doctor John H. Watson returned to england from Afghanistan after being shot in the left shoulder. He spends his pension a little unwisely and has to seek a flatmate in order to stay in London. Luckily, he runs into his old aquaintance Stamford who knows a man who also needs a flatmate. He explains that the man is eccentric and introduces the two in a laboratory in St. Bartholomew's hospital. The two agree to be flatmates and it isn't long before the good doctor gets to aid the only Consulting Detective in the world on one of his many cases.

No sister in the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but there is a young adult pastiche book series by Nancy Springer with Sherlock Holmes' younger sister Enola.
