A Scandal in Bohemia

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centredinterests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”
“Seven!” I answered.
“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.”
“Then, how do you know?”
“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?”
“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.”
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.
“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant bootslitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.”
I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. “When I hear you give your reasons,” I remarked, “the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”
“Quite so,” he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.”
“Frequently.”
“How often?”
“Well, some hundreds of times.”
“Then how many are there?”
“How many? I don’t know.”
“Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.” He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. “It came by the last post,” said he. “Read it aloud.”
The note was undated, and without either signature or address.
* * *
“There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o’clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.
* * *
“This is indeed a mystery,” I remarked. “What do you imagine that it means?”
“I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?”
I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.
“The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,” I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion’s processes. “Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.”
“Peculiar—that is the very word,” said Holmes. “It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.”
I did so, and saw a large “E” with a small “g,” a “P,” and a large “G” with a small “t” woven into the texture of the paper.
“What do you make of that?” asked Holmes.
“The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.”
“Not at all. The ‘G’ with the small ‘t’ stands for ‘Gesellschaft,’ which is the German for ‘Company.’ It is a customary contraction like our ‘Co.’ ‘P,’ of course, stands for ‘Papier.’ Now for the ‘Eg.’ Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.” He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. “Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. ‘Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.’ Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?” His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.
“The paper was made in Bohemia,” I said.
“Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—‘This account of you we have from all quarters received.’ A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.”
As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses’ hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.
“A pair, by the sound,” said he. “Yes,” he continued, glancing out of the window. “A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There’s money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.”
“I think that I had better go, Holmes.”
“Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.”
“But your client—”
“Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.”
A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
“Come in!” said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.
“You had my note?” he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. “I told you that I would call.” He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.
“Pray take a seat,” said Holmes. “This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?”
“You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.”
I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. “It is both, or none,” said he. “You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.”
The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. “Then I must begin,” said he, “by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.”
“I promise,” said Holmes.
“And I.”
“You will excuse this mask,” continued our strange visitor. “The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.”
“I was aware of it,” said Holmes drily.
“The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.”
“I was also aware of that,” murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.
Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.
“If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,” he remarked, “I should be better able to advise you.”
The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. “You are right,” he cried; “I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?”
“Why, indeed?” murmured Holmes. “Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.”
“But you can understand,” said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, “you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.”
“Then, pray consult,” said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.
“The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.”
“Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,” murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.
“Let me see!” said Holmes. “Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.”
“Precisely so. But how—”
“Was there a secret marriage?”
“None.”
“No legal papers or certificates?”
“None.”
“Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?”
“There is the writing.”
“Pooh, pooh! Forgery.”
“My private note-paper.”
“Stolen.”
“My own seal.”
“Imitated.”
“My photograph.”
“Bought.”
“We were both in the photograph.”
“Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.”
“I was mad—insane.”
“You have compromised yourself seriously.”
“I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.”
“It must be recovered.”
“We have tried and failed.”
“Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.”
“She will not sell.”
“Stolen, then.”
“Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.”
“No sign of it?”
“Absolutely none.”
Holmes laughed. “It is quite a pretty little problem,” said he.
“But a very serious one to me,” returned the King reproachfully.
“Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?”
“To ruin me.”
“But how?”
“I am about to be married.”
“So I have heard.”
“To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.”
“And Irene Adler?”
“Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.”
“You are sure that she has not sent it yet?”
“I am sure.”
“And why?”
“Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.”
“Oh, then we have three days yet,” said Holmes with a yawn. “That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?”
“Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.”
“Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.”
“Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.”
“Then, as to money?”
“You have carte blanche.”
“Absolutely?”
“I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.”
“And for present expenses?”
The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
“There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,” he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
“And Mademoiselle’s address?” he asked.
“Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John’s Wood.”
Holmes took a note of it. “One other question,” said he. “Was the photograph a cabinet?”
“It was.”
“Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,” he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. “If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o’clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.”

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.

I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness ofthe drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.

“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”

“Seven!” I answered.

“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.”

“Then, how do you know?”

“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?”

“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.”

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant bootslitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.”

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. “When I hear you give your reasons,” I remarked, “the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”

“Quite so,” he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.”

“Frequently.”

“How often?”

“Well, some hundreds of times.”

“Then how many are there?”

“How many? I don’t know.”

“Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.” He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. “It came by the last post,” said he. “Read it aloud.”

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

* * *

“There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o’clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.

* * *

“This is indeed a mystery,” I remarked. “What do you imagine that it means?”
“I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?”

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

“The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,” I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion’s processes. “Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.”

“Peculiar—that is the very word,” said Holmes. “It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.”

I did so, and saw a large “E” with a small “g,” a “P,” and a large “G” with a small “t” woven into the texture of the paper.

“What do you make of that?” asked Holmes.

“The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.”

“Not at all. The ‘G’ with the small ‘t’ stands for ‘Gesellschaft,’ which is the German for ‘Company.’ It is a customary contraction like our ‘Co.’ ‘P,’ of course, stands for ‘Papier.’ Now for the ‘Eg.’ Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.” He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. “Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. ‘Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.’ Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?” His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.

“The paper was made in Bohemia,” I said.

“Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—‘This account of you we have from all quarters received.’ A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.”

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses’ hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

“A pair, by the sound,” said he. “Yes,” he continued, glancing out of the window. “A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There’s money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.”

“I think that I had better go, Holmes.”

“Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.”

“But your client—”

“Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.”

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
“Come in!” said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.

“You had my note?” he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. “I told you that I would call.” He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.

“Pray take a seat,” said Holmes. “This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?”

“You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.”

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. “It is both, or none,” said he. “You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.”

The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. “Then I must begin,” said he, “by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.”

“I promise,” said Holmes.

“And I.”

“You will excuse this mask,” continued our strange visitor. “The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.”
“I was aware of it,” said Holmes drily.

“The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.”

“I was also aware of that,” murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.

“If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,” he remarked, “I should be better able to advise you.”

The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. “You are right,” he cried; “I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?”

“Why, indeed?” murmured Holmes. “Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.”

“But you can understand,” said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, “you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.”

“Then, pray consult,” said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

“The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.”

“Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,” murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.

“Let me see!” said Holmes. “Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.”

“Precisely so. But how—”

“Was there a secret marriage?”

“None.”

“No legal papers or certificates?”

“None.”
“Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?”

“There is the writing.”

“Pooh, pooh! Forgery.”

“My private note-paper.”

“Stolen.”

“My own seal.”

“Imitated.”

“My photograph.”

“Bought.”

“We were both in the photograph.”

“Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.”

“I was mad—insane.”

“You have compromised yourself seriously.”

“I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.”

“It must be recovered.”

“We have tried and failed.”

“Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.”

“She will not sell.”

“Stolen, then.”

“Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.”

“No sign of it?”

“Absolutely none.”

Holmes laughed. “It is quite a pretty little problem,” said he.

“But a very serious one to me,” returned the King reproachfully.

“Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?”

“To ruin me.”

“But how?”

“I am about to be married.”

“So I have heard.”

“To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.”

“And Irene Adler?”

“Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.”

“You are sure that she has not sent it yet?”

“I am sure.”

“And why?”
“Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.”

“Oh, then we have three days yet,” said Holmes with a yawn. “That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?”

“Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.”

“Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.”

“Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.”

“Then, as to money?”

“You have carte blanche.”

“Absolutely?”

“I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.”

“And for present expenses?”

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
“There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,” he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
“And Mademoiselle’s address?” he asked.

“Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John’s Wood.”

Holmes took a note of it. “One other question,” said he. “Was the photograph a cabinet?”

“It was.”

“Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,” he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. “If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o’clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.”

A Scandal in Bohemia

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.

I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

\\\"My dear Holmes,\\\" said I, \\\"this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can't imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"It is simplicity itself,\\\" said he; \\\"my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant bootslitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.\\\"

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. \\\"When I hear you give your reasons,\\\" I remarked, \\\"the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.\\\"

\\\"Quite so,\\\" he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. \\\"You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.\\\"

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

\\\"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.\\\" He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. \\\"It came by the last post,\\\" said he. \\\"Read it aloud.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o'clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

\\\"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,\\\" I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion's processes. \\\"Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.\\\"

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"Not at all. The 'G' with the small 't' stands for 'Gesellschaft,' which is the German for 'Company.' It is a customary contraction like our 'Co.' 'P,' of course, stands for 'Papier.' Now for the 'Eg.' Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.\\\" He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. \\\"Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. 'Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.' Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?\\\" His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

\\\"Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.\\\"

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"A pair, by the sound,\\\" said he. \\\"Yes,\\\" he continued, glancing out of the window. \\\"A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There's money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.\\\"

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.

\\\"You had my note?\\\" he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. \\\"I told you that I would call.\\\" He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

\\\"You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. \\\"Then I must begin,\\\" said he, \\\"by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"You will excuse this mask,\\\" continued our strange visitor. \\\"The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.\\\"

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. \\\"You are right,\\\" he cried; \\\"I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?\\\"

\\\"Why, indeed?\\\" murmured Holmes. \\\"Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.\\\"

\\\"But you can understand,\\\" said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, \\\"you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,\\\" murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.

\\\"Let me see!\\\" said Holmes. \\\"Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Oh, then we have three days yet,\\\" said Holmes with a yawn. \\\"That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

\\\"Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,\\\" he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. \\\"If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.\\\"

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1859. Before starting his writing career, Doyle attended medical school, where he met the professor who would later inspire his most famous creation, Sherlock Holmes. A Study in Scarlet was Doyle's first novel; he would go on to write more than sixty stories featuring Sherlock Holmes. He died in England in 1930.

A Scandal in Bohemia

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

It was first published on October 14, 1892; Individual stories had been serialized in The Strand Magazine between July 1891 and June 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to the twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in the first-person narration from Watson's point of view. In general, the stories of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and attempt to correct, social injustices. Holmes is presented as offering a new and more just sense of justice. Stories were well received, and the Strand Magazine subscription numbers increased, prompting Doyle to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, \"A Scandal in Bohemia\", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being present only in this Doyle story, is a prominent character in Sherlock Holmes' modern adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories in this collection in his twelve favorite Sherlock Holmes stories, choosing \"The Adventure of the Speckled Band\" as his favorite in general.",[4587,4588],{"_224":5006,"_235":5008},{"_226":5007,"_228":229},"15.0",{"_226":5007,"_228":229},{"_224":5010,"_235":5011},{"_226":234,"_228":229},{"_226":234,"_228":229},{"_239":5013},[5014],{"_36":5015,"_60":5016,"_221":-5,"_62":5017,"_56":5018},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/49096882651376","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/345127732.jpg?v=1752068146",903,1356,{"_239":5020},[5021],{"_36":5022,"_192":5023},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/40746232316144",{"_36":5024,"_60":5016,"_221":-5,"_62":5017,"_56":5018},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/40776219459824",[5026],{"_252":253,"_4605":5027},[5028],{"_252":255,"_4608":5029,"_4616":-5},{"_230":8,"_243":-5,"_36":5030,"_192":5031,"_245":5032,"_247":5033,"_249":5034,"_256":5002,"_78":255,"_257":-5,"_4615":121},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47010319728880",{"_203":4740,"_36":5015,"_60":5016,"_221":-5,"_62":5017,"_56":5018},{"_226":5007,"_228":229},{"_78":4575,"_209":5002},[5035],{"_252":253,"_254":255},{"_230":8,"_243":-5,"_36":5030,"_192":5037,"_245":5038,"_247":5039,"_249":5040,"_256":5002,"_78":255,"_257":-5,"_4615":121},{"_203":4740,"_36":5015,"_60":5016,"_221":-5,"_62":5017,"_56":5018},{"_226":5007,"_228":229},{"_78":4575,"_209":5002},[5041],{"_252":253,"_254":255},[],{"_211":-5,"_78":-5},{"_254":5002},{"_254":4629},{"_254":4631},{"_254":5048},"2016-08-08T04:00:00Z",{"_254":4759},{"_254":5051},"330",{"_254":5053},"9.02",{"_254":5055},"5.98",{"_254":5057},"0.74",{"_254":4809},{"_254":4655},{"_254":4660},{"_254":4665},{"_254":4875},{"_254":4671},{"_254":4674},{"_4677":4678,"_254":4976},[5067,5068,5069,5070,5071,-5,5072,5073,5075,5076,5077,-5,-5,-5,5079,-5,-5,-5,-5,5080,5082,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,-5,5084,5085,-5,-5,-5],{"_265":266,"_267":298,"_254":4665},{"_265":266,"_267":4667,"_254":4875},{"_265":266,"_267":268,"_254":4687},{"_265":266,"_267":280,"_254":4809},{"_265":266,"_267":283,"_254":4809},{"_265":266,"_267":290,"_254":4984},{"_265":266,"_267":294,"_254":5074},"[{\"id\":\"8061819T\",\"type\":\"Fatbrain Author Description\",\"linkText\":\"Author Description\",\"typeId\":\"1102\",\"abbr\":\"FBA\",\"maxToDisplay\":\"1\",\"displayOrder\":\"1\",\"text\":\"Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, KStJ, DL (22 May 1859 - 7 July 1930) was a British writer best known for his detective fiction featuring the character Sherlock Holmes.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. After nine years in Jesuit schools, he went to Edinburgh University, receiving a degree in medicine in 1881. He then became an eye specialist in Southsea, with a distressing lack of success. Hoping to augment his income, he wrote his first story, A Study in Scarlet. His detective, Sherlock Holmes, was modeled in part after Dr. Joseph Bell of the Edinburgh Infirmary, a man with spectacular powers of observation, analysis, and inference. Conan Doyle may have been influenced also by his admiration for the neat plots of Gaboriau and for Poe’s detective, M. Dupin. After several rejections, the story was sold to a British publisher for £25, and thus was born the world’s best-known and most-loved fictional detective. Fifty-nine more Sherlock Holmes adventures followed. Once, wearying of Holmes, his creator killed him off, but was forced by popular demand to resurrect him. Sir Arthur—he had been knighted for this defense of the British cause in his The Great Boer War—became an ardent Spiritualist after the death of his son Kingsley, who had been wounded at the Somme in World War I. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in Sussex in 1930.\"}]",{"_265":266,"_267":4626,"_254":5090},{"_265":266,"_267":306,"_254":4629},{"_265":266,"_267":4705,"_254":4893},{"_265":266,"_267":302,"_254":4631},{"_265":266,"_267":4698,"_254":5175},"[\"Paperback\",\"Fiction\",\"Literary Fiction\",\"Literary Fiction -

A Scandal in Bohemia

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

By Arthur Conan Doyle

CHAPTER 1

A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer — excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.

One night — it was on the twentieth of March, 1888 — I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"It is simplicity itself,\\\" said he; \\\"my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.\\\"

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar — that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"Not at all. The 'G' with the small 't' stands for 'Gesellschaft,' which is the German for 'Company.' It is a customary contraction like our 'Co.' 'P,' of course, stands for 'Papier.' Now for the 'Eg.' Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.\\\" He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. \\\"Eglow, Eglonitz — here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country — in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. 'Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.' Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?\\\" His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

\\\"Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence — 'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.\\\"

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client —\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Let me see!\\\" said Holmes. \\\"Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto — hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw — yes! Retired from operatic stage — ha! Living in London — quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how —\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stoten.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad — insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

A Scandal in Bohemia

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.

I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness ofthe drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.

“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”

“Seven!” I answered.

“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.”

“Then, how do you know?”

“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?”

“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.”

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant bootslitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.”

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. “When I hear you give your reasons,” I remarked, “the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”

“Quite so,” he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.”

“Frequently.”

“How often?”

“Well, some hundreds of times.”

“Then how many are there?”

“How many? I don’t know.”

“Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.” He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. “It came by the last post,” said he. “Read it aloud.”

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

* * *

“There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o’clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.

* * *

“This is indeed a mystery,” I remarked. “What do you imagine that it means?”
“I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?”

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

“The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,” I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion’s processes. “Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.”

“Peculiar—that is the very word,” said Holmes. “It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.”

I did so, and saw a large “E” with a small “g,” a “P,” and a large “G” with a small “t” woven into the texture of the paper.

“What do you make of that?” asked Holmes.

“The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.”

“Not at all. The ‘G’ with the small ‘t’ stands for ‘Gesellschaft,’ which is the German for ‘Company.’ It is a customary contraction like our ‘Co.’ ‘P,’ of course, stands for ‘Papier.’ Now for the ‘Eg.’ Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.” He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. “Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. ‘Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.’ Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?” His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.

“The paper was made in Bohemia,” I said.

“Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—‘This account of you we have from all quarters received.’ A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.”

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses’ hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

“A pair, by the sound,” said he. “Yes,” he continued, glancing out of the window. “A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There’s money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.”

“I think that I had better go, Holmes.”

“Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.”

“But your client—”

“Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.”

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
“Come in!” said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.

“You had my note?” he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. “I told you that I would call.” He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.

“Pray take a seat,” said Holmes. “This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?”

“You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.”

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. “It is both, or none,” said he. “You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.”

The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. “Then I must begin,” said he, “by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.”

“I promise,” said Holmes.

“And I.”

“You will excuse this mask,” continued our strange visitor. “The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.”
“I was aware of it,” said Holmes drily.

“The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.”

“I was also aware of that,” murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.

“If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,” he remarked, “I should be better able to advise you.”

The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. “You are right,” he cried; “I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?”

“Why, indeed?” murmured Holmes. “Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.”

“But you can understand,” said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, “you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.”

“Then, pray consult,” said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

“The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.”

“Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,” murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.

“Let me see!” said Holmes. “Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.”

“Precisely so. But how—”

“Was there a secret marriage?”

“None.”

“No legal papers or certificates?”

“None.”
“Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?”

“There is the writing.”

“Pooh, pooh! Forgery.”

“My private note-paper.”

“Stolen.”

“My own seal.”

“Imitated.”

“My photograph.”

“Bought.”

“We were both in the photograph.”

“Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.”

“I was mad—insane.”

“You have compromised yourself seriously.”

“I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.”

“It must be recovered.”

“We have tried and failed.”

“Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.”

“She will not sell.”

“Stolen, then.”

“Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.”

“No sign of it?”

“Absolutely none.”

Holmes laughed. “It is quite a pretty little problem,” said he.

“But a very serious one to me,” returned the King reproachfully.

“Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?”

“To ruin me.”

“But how?”

“I am about to be married.”

“So I have heard.”

“To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.”

“And Irene Adler?”

“Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.”

“You are sure that she has not sent it yet?”

“I am sure.”

“And why?”
“Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.”

“Oh, then we have three days yet,” said Holmes with a yawn. “That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?”

“Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.”

“Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.”

“Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.”

“Then, as to money?”

“You have carte blanche.”

“Absolutely?”

“I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.”

“And for present expenses?”

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
“There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,” he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
“And Mademoiselle’s address?” he asked.

“Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John’s Wood.”

Holmes took a note of it. “One other question,” said he. “Was the photograph a cabinet?”

“It was.”

“Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,” he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. “If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o’clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.”

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

A Scandal in Bohemia

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh in 1859. After a rigorous Jesuit education, at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, he trained to be a doctor at Edinburgh University. Eventually he set up in medical practice in Southsea and, during the quiet periods between patients, he turned his hand to writing. Although Sherlock Holmes was Doyle's greatest creation, he believed his historical novels such as Micah Clarke and The White Company were of greater literary quality. He also created the irascible Professor Challenger in The Lost World and the comic French soldier Brigadier Gerard who appeared in a series of short stories. Doyle was knighted in 1902. Towards the end of his life he devoted much of his time to his belief in Spiritualism, using his writings as a means of providing funds to support his activities in this field. He died in 1930.\"}]",{"_265":266,"_267":4626,"_254":6921},{"_265":266,"_267":306,"_254":4629},{"_265":266,"_267":302,"_254":4631},{"_265":266,"_267":4698,"_254":7000},"[\"Fiction\",\"Literary Fiction\",\"Literature\",\"Literary Fiction -

A Scandal in Bohemia

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892, though the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. As with all but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories, those contained within The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are told by a first-person narrative from the point of view of Dr. Watson. In general, the stories in THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, 'A Scandal in Bohemia', includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking 'The Adventure of the Speckled Band' as his overall favourite.

Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes (Ad Classic Library Edition)","9781926606309","The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of the first twelve short stories based on the famous detective, including the cases of The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, and A Scandal in Bohemia. Holmes will need to use his various skills, including an aptitude for acting and disguise, tracking footprints, hand to hand combat, deciphering different types of tobacco ash, and knowledge of psychology to solve cases of blackmail, treachery and murder.

Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation,and forensic skills to solve difficult cases. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation. Similarly, by studying inanimate objects, he is able to make astonishingly detailed deductions about their owners. This mindset was a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, inspiring authors like Robert J. Sawyer, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.

I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness ofthe drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.

“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.”

“Seven!” I answered.

“Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.”

“Then, how do you know?”

“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?”

“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.”

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant bootslitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top-hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.”

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. “When I hear you give your reasons,” I remarked, “the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.”

“Quite so,” he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. “You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.”

“Frequently.”

“How often?”

“Well, some hundreds of times.”

“Then how many are there?”

“How many? I don’t know.”

“Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.” He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. “It came by the last post,” said he. “Read it aloud.”

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

* * *

“There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o’clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.

“This is indeed a mystery,” I remarked. “What do you imagine that it means?”
“I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?”

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

“The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,” I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion’s processes. “Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.”

“Peculiar—that is the very word,” said Holmes. “It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.”

I did so, and saw a large “E” with a small “g,” a “P,” and a large “G” with a small “t” woven into the texture of the paper.

“What do you make of that?” asked Holmes.

“The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.”

“Not at all. The ‘G’ with the small ‘t’ stands for ‘Gesellschaft,’ which is the German for ‘Company.’ It is a customary contraction like our ‘Co.’ ‘P,’ of course, stands for ‘Papier.’ Now for the ‘Eg.’ Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.” He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. “Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. ‘Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.’ Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?” His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.

“The paper was made in Bohemia,” I said.

“Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—‘This account of you we have from all quarters received.’ A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.”

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses’ hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

“A pair, by the sound,” said he. “Yes,” he continued, glancing out of the window. “A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There’s money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.”

“I think that I had better go, Holmes.”

“Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.”

“But your client—”

“Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.”

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
“Come in!” said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.

“You had my note?” he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. “I told you that I would call.” He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.

“Pray take a seat,” said Holmes. “This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?”

“You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.”

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. “It is both, or none,” said he. “You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.”

The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. “Then I must begin,” said he, “by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.”

“I promise,” said Holmes.

“And I.”

“You will excuse this mask,” continued our strange visitor. “The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.”
“I was aware of it,” said Holmes drily.

“The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.”

“I was also aware of that,” murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.

“If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,” he remarked, “I should be better able to advise you.”

The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. “You are right,” he cried; “I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?”

“Why, indeed?” murmured Holmes. “Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.”

“But you can understand,” said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, “you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.”

“Then, pray consult,” said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

“The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.”

“Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,” murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.

“Let me see!” said Holmes. “Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.”

“Precisely so. But how—”

“Was there a secret marriage?”

“None.”

“No legal papers or certificates?”

“None.”
“Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?”

“There is the writing.”

“Pooh, pooh! Forgery.”

“My private note-paper.”

“Stolen.”

“My own seal.”

“Imitated.”

“My photograph.”

“Bought.”

“We were both in the photograph.”

“Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.”

“I was mad—insane.”

“You have compromised yourself seriously.”

“I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.”

“It must be recovered.”

“We have tried and failed.”

“Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.”

“She will not sell.”

“Stolen, then.”

“Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.”

“No sign of it?”

“Absolutely none.”

Holmes laughed. “It is quite a pretty little problem,” said he.

“But a very serious one to me,” returned the King reproachfully.

“Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?”

“To ruin me.”

“But how?”

“I am about to be married.”

“So I have heard.”

“To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.”

“And Irene Adler?”

“Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.”

“You are sure that she has not sent it yet?”

“I am sure.”

“And why?”
“Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.”

“Oh, then we have three days yet,” said Holmes with a yawn. “That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?”

“Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.”

“Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.”

“Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.”

“Then, as to money?”

“You have carte blanche.”

“Absolutely?”

“I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.”

“And for present expenses?”

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
“There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,” he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
“And Mademoiselle’s address?” he asked.

“Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John’s Wood.”

Holmes took a note of it. “One other question,” said he. “Was the photograph a cabinet?”

“It was.”

“Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,” he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. “If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o’clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.”

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a British novelist and historian best known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. He also wrote historical novels, including \\\"The White Company, \\\" which he considered his favorite.

SIMON PREBBLES, a British-born performer of considerable talent and experience, has built a successful career that spans the Atlantic. As a stage and television actor he has played in everything from soaps to Shakespeare, but it is as a veteran narrator of some 275 audio book titles that he has made his mark since coming to the U.S. in 1990. \\\"Audiofile\\\" magazine has named him a 'Golden Voices' and in 2004 he was named \\\"Narrator of the Year\\\" by \\\" Publishers Weekly.

Aside from the Sherlock Holmes stories, he was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction.

Conan Doyle wrote four full length Sherlock Holmes novels: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Death.

Aside from the Sherlock Holmes stories, he was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction. Conan Doyle wrote four full length Sherlock Holmes novels: A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Death.

Born 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, now hailed as \\\"World City of Literature\\\". Medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, where he studied under Joseph Bell. His thesis on the effects of syphilis is available online.

Served as doctor on an Arctic whaler (photo). ACD lived in Southsea, Birmingham and elsewhere, and practised as a doctor briefly.
First short story published 1879 (not about Sherlock Holmes). The story \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\" was a startling success. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Lived for a time in Surrey, later at Crowborough, Sussex.

Author of more than 50 books, including historical novels (most famous The White Company -- a review), science fiction and other novels of Professor Challenger), domestic comedy, seafaring adventure, the comic adventures of Brigadier Gerard, the supernatural, poetry, military history, many other subjects. Bibliography from the Arthur Conan Doyle Society. He wrote the comic play 'Jane Annie' jointly with James Barrie, creator of Peter Pan.

In 1893, ACD \\\"killed\\\" Sherlock Holmes by reporting his apparent death in \\\"The Final Problem\\\", last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to devote time and attention to his \\\"more serious\\\" writings. Holmes was briefly brought back in The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1901, then revived in \\\"The Empty House\\\", 1903, and subsequent tales.

Knighted (\\\"Sir Arthur\\\") 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda (particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct) — and, some said, because of the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Constant writer of letters to the editor and crusader for social reforms. Of special interest: criminal justice (he took a personal role in the George Edalji and Oscar Slater cases), military strategy (though he never served in the armed forces), public health, sports (cricket, boxing, Olympics), divorce law reform, Belgian exploitation of the Congo, the Piltdown hoax. Twice ran unsuccessfully for Parliament. Visited Canada in 1914, when Lady Conan Doyle kept a diary that can be viewed online through technology from the Toronto Reference Library. (ACD also made Canadian visits in 1894, 1922, and 1923.)

Born 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, now hailed as \\\"World City of Literature\\\". Medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, where he studied under Joseph Bell. His thesis on the effects of syphilis is available online.

Served as doctor on an Arctic whaler (photo). ACD lived in Southsea, Birmingham and elsewhere, and practised as a doctor briefly.
First short story published 1879 (not about Sherlock Holmes). The story \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\" was a startling success. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Lived for a time in Surrey, later at Crowborough, Sussex.

Author of more than 50 books, including historical novels (most famous The White Company -- a review), science fiction and other novels of Professor Challenger), domestic comedy, seafaring adventure, the comic adventures of Brigadier Gerard, the supernatural, poetry, military history, many other subjects. Bibliography from the Arthur Conan Doyle Society. He wrote the comic play 'Jane Annie' jointly with James Barrie, creator of Peter Pan.

In 1893, ACD \\\"killed\\\" Sherlock Holmes by reporting his apparent death in \\\"The Final Problem\\\", last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to devote time and attention to his \\\"more serious\\\" writings. Holmes was briefly brought back in The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1901, then revived in \\\"The Empty House\\\", 1903, and subsequent tales.

Knighted (\\\"Sir Arthur\\\") 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda (particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct) — and, some said, because of the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Constant writer of letters to the editor and crusader for social reforms. Of special interest: criminal justice (he took a personal role in the George Edalji and Oscar Slater cases), military strategy (though he never served in the armed forces), public health, sports (cricket, boxing, Olympics), divorce law reform, Belgian exploitation of the Congo, the Piltdown hoax.

Born 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, now hailed as \\\"World City of Literature\\\". Medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, where he studied under Joseph Bell. His thesis on the effects of syphilis is available online.

Served as doctor on an Arctic whaler (photo). ACD lived in Southsea, Birmingham and elsewhere, and practised as a doctor briefly.
First short story published 1879 (not about Sherlock Holmes). The story \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\" was a startling success. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Lived for a time in Surrey, later at Crowborough, Sussex.

Author of more than 50 books, including historical novels (most famous The White Company -- a review), science fiction and other novels of Professor Challenger), domestic comedy, seafaring adventure, the comic adventures of Brigadier Gerard, the supernatural, poetry, military history, many other subjects. Bibliography from the Arthur Conan Doyle Society. He wrote the comic play 'Jane Annie' jointly with James Barrie, creator of Peter Pan.

In 1893, ACD \\\"killed\\\" Sherlock Holmes by reporting his apparent death in \\\"The Final Problem\\\", last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to devote time and attention to his \\\"more serious\\\" writings. Holmes was briefly brought back in The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1901, then revived in \\\"The Empty House\\\", 1903, and subsequent tales.

Knighted (\\\"Sir Arthur\\\") 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda (particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct) — and, some said, because of the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Constant writer of letters to the editor and crusader for social reforms. Of special interest: criminal justice (he took a personal role in the George Edalji and Oscar Slater cases), military strategy (though he never served in the armed forces), public health, sports (cricket, boxing, Olympics), divorce law reform, Belgian exploitation of the Congo, the Piltdown hoax. Twice ran unsuccessfully for Parliament. Visited Canada in 1914, when Lady Conan Doyle kept a diary that can be viewed online through technology from the Toronto Reference Library.

Born 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, now hailed as \\\"World City of Literature\\\". Medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, where he studied under Joseph Bell. His thesis on the effects of syphilis is available online.

Served as doctor on an Arctic whaler (photo). ACD lived in Southsea, Birmingham and elsewhere, and practised as a doctor briefly.
First short story published 1879 (not about Sherlock Holmes). The story \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\" was a startling success. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Lived for a time in Surrey, later at Crowborough, Sussex.

Author of more than 50 books, including historical novels (most famous The White Company -- a review), science fiction and other novels of Professor Challenger), domestic comedy, seafaring adventure, the comic adventures of Brigadier Gerard, the supernatural, poetry, military history, many other subjects. Bibliography from the Arthur Conan Doyle Society. He wrote the comic play 'Jane Annie' jointly with James Barrie, creator of Peter Pan.

In 1893, ACD \\\"killed\\\" Sherlock Holmes by reporting his apparent death in \\\"The Final Problem\\\", last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to devote time and attention to his \\\"more serious\\\" writings. Holmes was briefly brought back in The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1901, then revived in \\\"The Empty House\\\", 1903, and subsequent tales.

Knighted (\\\"Sir Arthur\\\") 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda (particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct) — and, some said, because of the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Constant writer of letters to the editor and crusader for social reforms. Of special interest: criminal justice (he took a personal role in the George Edalji and Oscar Slater cases), military strategy (though he never served in the armed forces), public health, sports (cricket, boxing, Olympics), divorce law reform, Belgian exploitation of the Congo, the Piltdown hoax. Twice ran unsuccessfully for Parliament. Visited Canada in 1914, when Lady Conan Doyle kept a diary that can be viewed online through technology from the Toronto Reference Library. (ACD also made Canadian visits in 1894, 1922, and 1923.)

Born 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, now hailed as \\\"World City of Literature\\\". Medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, where he studied under Joseph Bell. His thesis on the effects of syphilis is available online.

Served as doctor on an Arctic whaler (photo). ACD lived in Southsea, Birmingham and elsewhere, and practised as a doctor briefly.
First short story published 1879 (not about Sherlock Holmes). The story \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\" was a startling success. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Lived for a time in Surrey, later at Crowborough, Sussex.

Author of more than 50 books, including historical novels (most famous The White Company -- a review), science fiction and other novels of Professor Challenger), domestic comedy, seafaring adventure, the comic adventures of Brigadier Gerard, the supernatural, poetry, military history, many other subjects. Bibliography from the Arthur Conan Doyle Society. He wrote the comic play 'Jane Annie' jointly with James Barrie, creator of Peter Pan.

In 1893, ACD \\\"killed\\\" Sherlock Holmes by reporting his apparent death in \\\"The Final Problem\\\", last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to devote time and attention to his \\\"more serious\\\" writings. Holmes was briefly brought back in The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1901, then revived in \\\"The Empty House\\\", 1903, and subsequent tales.

Knighted (\\\"Sir Arthur\\\") 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda (particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct) — and, some said, because of the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Constant writer of letters to the editor and crusader for social reforms. Of special interest: criminal justice (he took a personal role in the George Edalji and Oscar Slater cases), military strategy (though he never served in the armed forces), public health, sports (cricket, boxing, Olympics), divorce law reform, Belgian exploitation of the Congo, the Piltdown hoax. Twice ran unsuccessfully for Parliament. Visited Canada in 1914, when Lady Conan Doyle kept a diary that can be viewed online through technology from the Toronto Reference Library. (ACD also made Canadian visits in 1894, 1922, and 1923.)

Born 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, now hailed as \\\"World City of Literature\\\". Medical degree from the University of Edinburgh, where he studied under Joseph Bell. His thesis on the effects of syphilis is available online.

Served as doctor on an Arctic whaler (photo). ACD lived in Southsea, Birmingham and elsewhere, and practised as a doctor briefly.
First short story published 1879 (not about Sherlock Holmes). The story \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\" was a startling success. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Lived for a time in Surrey, later at Crowborough, Sussex.

Author of more than 50 books, including historical novels (most famous The White Company -- a review), science fiction and other novels of Professor Challenger), domestic comedy, seafaring adventure, the comic adventures of Brigadier Gerard, the supernatural, poetry, military history, many other subjects. Bibliography from the Arthur Conan Doyle Society. He wrote the comic play 'Jane Annie' jointly with James Barrie, creator of Peter Pan.

In 1893, ACD \\\"killed\\\" Sherlock Holmes by reporting his apparent death in \\\"The Final Problem\\\", last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to devote time and attention to his \\\"more serious\\\" writings. Holmes was briefly brought back in The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1901, then revived in \\\"The Empty House\\\", 1903, and subsequent tales.

Knighted (\\\"Sir Arthur\\\") 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda (particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct) — and, some said, because of the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Constant writer of letters to the editor and crusader for social reforms. Of special interest: criminal justice (he took a personal role in the George Edalji and Oscar Slater cases), military strategy (though he never served in the armed forces), public health, sports (cricket, boxing, Olympics), divorce law reform, Belgian exploitation of the Congo, the Piltdown hoax.

Served as doctor on an Arctic whaler (photo). ACD lived in Southsea, Birmingham and elsewhere, and practised as a doctor briefly.
First short story published 1879 (not about Sherlock Holmes). The story \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\" was a startling success. His first novel, A Study in Scarlet, appeared in Beeton's Christmas Annual. Lived for a time in Surrey, later at Crowborough, Sussex.

Author of more than 50 books, including historical novels (most famous The White Company -- a review), science fiction and other novels of Professor Challenger), domestic comedy, seafaring adventure, the comic adventures of Brigadier Gerard, the supernatural, poetry, military history, many other subjects. Bibliography from the Arthur Conan Doyle Society. He wrote the comic play 'Jane Annie' jointly with James Barrie, creator of Peter Pan.

In 1893, ACD \\\"killed\\\" Sherlock Holmes by reporting his apparent death in \\\"The Final Problem\\\", last story of The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. He wanted to devote time and attention to his \\\"more serious\\\" writings. Holmes was briefly brought back in The Hound of the Baskervilles, 1901, then revived in \\\"The Empty House\\\", 1903, and subsequent tales.

Knighted (\\\"Sir Arthur\\\") 1902 for his work in Boer War propaganda (particularly the pamphlet The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct) — and, some said, because of the publication of The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Constant writer of letters to the editor and crusader for social reforms. Of special interest: criminal justice (he took a personal role in the George Edalji and Oscar Slater cases), military strategy (though he never served in the armed forces), public health, sports (cricket, boxing, Olympics), divorce law reform, Belgian exploitation of the Congo, the Piltdown hoax.

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective and illustrated by Sidney Paget and Josef Friedrich.

The book was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 for the occultism of its author, although the book shows few to no signs of such material. Later, the embargo was lifted.

Conan Doyle was a fervent advocate of justice and personally investigated two closed cases, which led to two men being exonerated of the crimes of which they were accused. The first case, in 1906, involved a shy half-British, half-Indian lawyer named George Edalji who had allegedly penned threatening letters and mutilated animals. Police were set on Edalji's conviction, even though the mutilations continued after their suspect was jailed.

The second case, that of Oscar Slater, a German Jew and gambling-den operator convicted of bludgeoning an 82-year-old woman in Glasgow in 1908, excited Conan Doyle's curiosity because of inconsistencies in the prosecution case and a general sense that Slater was not guilty. He ended up paying most of the costs for Slater's successful appeal in 1928.","200+ Illustrations!The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective and illustrated by Sidney Paget and Josef Friedrich.The book was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 for the occultism of its author, although the book shows few to no signs of such material.

Conan Doyle was friends for a time with Harry Houdini, the American magician who himself became a prominent opponent of the Spiritualist movement in the 1920s following the death of his beloved mother. Although Houdini insisted that Spiritualist mediums employed trickery (and consistently exposed them as frauds), Conan Doyle became convinced that Houdini himself possessed supernatural powers—a view expressed in Conan Doyle's The Edge of the Unknown. Houdini was apparently unable to convince Conan Doyle that his feats were simply illusions, leading to a bitter public falling out between the two.\"}]",{"_265":266,"_267":4626,"_254":10022},{"_265":266,"_267":306,"_254":208},{"_265":266,"_267":302,"_254":4631},{"_265":266,"_267":8626,"_254":3868},{"_265":266,"_267":4698,"_254":10099},"[\"Mystery & Thrillers\",\"Other Mystery Categories\",\"Traditional British Mysteries - Other\",\"Fiction\",\"Mystery & Detective - Other\",\"eBook & NOOK\",\"Mystery & Crime Short Stories\",\"Short Stories\",\"Short Story Collections\",\"Short Stories - Other\",\"Books\",\"Fiction Subjects\",\"Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction\",\"Fiction Classics - Other\",\"eBooks & NOOK\"]",{"_265":266,"_267":4701,"_254":10101},"[{\"categoryId\":\"2816044\",\"displayName\":\"Mystery & Thrillers\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"924479\",\"displayName\":\"Other Mystery Categories\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"1303076\",\"displayName\":\"Traditional British Mysteries - Other\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"3652453\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"1303073\",\"displayName\":\"Mystery & Detective - Other\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":true},{\"categoryId\":\"2796704\",\"displayName\":\"eBook & NOOK\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"554212\",\"displayName\":\"Mystery & Crime Short Stories\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2821887\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2916020\",\"displayName\":\"Short Stories\",\"displayWeight\":190,\"typeId\":81,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"890871\",\"displayName\":\"Short Story Collections\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"1305647\",\"displayName\":\"Short Stories - Other\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2796683\",\"displayName\":\"Books\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"914097\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction Subjects\",\"displayWeight\":190,\"typeId\":81,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"13\",\"displayName\":\"Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"1305485\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction Classics - Other\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2796685\",\"displayName\":\"eBooks & NOOK\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false}]",{"_265":266,"_267":8632,"_254":8633},{"_265":266,"_267":4632,"_254":10067},{"_265":266,"_267":4635,"_254":4637},{"_4708":10106},{"_36":10107,"_78":4803,"_4576":10108,"_209":10109,"_213":10110,"_211":10111,"_4581":4582,"_4583":4582,"_4585":10112,"_207":208,"_222":10113,"_231":10116,"_4596":10119,"_4599":10126,"_4602":10132,"_4617":10143,"_4623":10149,"_4472":10150,"_4626":10151,"_306":10152,"_302":10153,"_4632":10154,"_4635":10156,"_4638":-5,"_4639":-5,"_272":10157,"_4642":-5,"_56":-5,"_62":-5,"_4648":-5,"_4651":-5,"_4652":-5,"_283":10159,"_4546":10160,"_4656":-5,"_4657":-5,"_258":10161,"_4658":10162,"_4661":-5,"_4662":-5,"_4663":-5,"_298":10163,"_4666":-5,"_4667":10164,"_4669":10165,"_4672":10166,"_4675":10167,"_4680":-5,"_4681":10168,"_4682":-5,"_261":10170},"gid://shopify/Product/9240623448304","1.00 Books","2940016234267","Non illustrated

These are the first of the Sherlock Holmes short stories, originally published as single stories in the Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. The book was published in England on 14 October 1892 by George Newnes Ltd and in a US Edition on 15 October by Harper. The initial combined print run was 14,500 copies.

The 12 stories in this collection are:

\"A Scandal in Bohemia\"
\"The Adventure of the Red-Headed League\"
\"A Case of Identity\"
\"The Boscombe Valley Mystery\"
\"The Five Orange Pips\"
\"The Man with the Twisted Lip\"
\"The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle\"
\"The Adventure of the Speckled Band\"
\"The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb\"
\"The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor\"
\"The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet\"
\"The Adventure of the Copper Beeches\"

The book was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 for the occultism of its author, although the book shows few to no signs of such material. Later, the embargo was lifted.

In \"A Scandal in Bohemia\", while the currently married Dr. Watson is paying Holmes a visit, Holmes is called upon by a masked gentleman introducing himself as Count Von Kramm, an agent for a wealthy client. However, Holmes quickly deduces that he is in fact Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein and the hereditary King of Bohemia. The King admits this, tearing off his mask.

In \"The Adventure of the Red-Headed League\", Jabez Wilson, a London pawnbroker, comes to consult Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. While studying his client, both Holmes and Watson notice his red hair, which has a distinct flame-like hue. Wilson tells them that some weeks before his young assistant, Vincent Spaulding, urged him to respond to a newspaper want-ad offering work to only red-headed male applicants. The next morning, Wilson had waited in a long line of fellow red-headed men, was interviewed and was the only applicant hired, because none of the other applicants qualified; their red hair was either too dark or too bright, and did not match Wilson's unique flame color.

In \"A Case of Identity\", The story revolves around the case of Miss Mary Sutherland, a woman with a substantial income from the interest on a fund set up for her. She is engaged to a quiet Londoner who has recently disappeared. Sherlock Holmes's detective powers are barely challenged as this turns out to be quite an elementary case for him, much as it puzzles Watson.

In \"The Boscombe Valley Mystery\", Lestrade summons Holmes to a community in Herefordshire, where a local landowner has been murdered outdoors. The deceased's estranged son is strongly implicated. Holmes quickly determines that a mysterious third man may be responsible for the crime, unraveling a thread involving a secret criminal past, thwarted love, and blackmail.

In \"The Five Orange Pips\", A young Sussex gentleman named John Openshaw has a strange story: in 1869 his uncle Elias Openshaw had suddenly come back to England to settle on an estate at Horsham, West Sussex after living for years in the United States as a planter in Florida and serving as a Colonel in the Confederate Army.

In \"In the Man with the Twisted Lip\", Dr Watson is called upon late at night by a female friend of his wife. Her husband has been absent for several days and, as he is an opium addict, she is sure he has been indulging in a lengthy drug binge in a dangerous East End opium den. Frantic with worry, she seeks Dr. Watson's help in fetching him home. Watson does this, but he also finds his friend Sherlock Holmes in the den, disguised as an old man, trying to extract information about a new case from the addicts in the den.

In \"The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle\", Watson visits his friend Holmes at Christmas time and finds him contemplating a battered old hat, brought to him by the commissionaire Peterson after it and a Christmas goose had been dropped by a man in a scuffle with some street ruffians. Peterson takes the goose home to eat it, but comes back later with a carbuncle. His wife has found it in the bird's crop (stomach). Holmes makes some interesting deductions concerning the owner of the hat from simple observations of its condition, conclusions amply confirmed when an advertisement for the owner produces the man himself: Henry Baker.

In \"The Adventures of the Speckled Band\", A young woman named Helen Stoner consults the detective Sherlock Holmes about the suspicious death of her sister, Julia. One night, after conversing with her twin sister about her upcoming wedding day, Julia screamed and came to the hallway where Helen came out to see her, in Julia's dying words she said \"it was the band, the speckled band!\"","The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective and illustrated by Sidney Paget.These are the first of the Sherlock Holmes short stories, originally published as single stories in the Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892.

He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, plays, romances, poetry, non-fiction and historical novels.

Conan Doyle was involved in the campaign for the reform of the Congo Free State, led by journalist E. D. Morel and diplomat Roger Casement. During 1909 he wrote The Crime of the Congo, a long pamphlet in which he denounced the horrors in that country. He became acquainted with Morel and Casement, and it is possible that, together with Bertram Fletcher Robinson, they inspired several characters in the 1912 novel The Lost World.

In 1882 he joined former classmate George Turnavine Budd as his partner at a medical practice in Plymouth, but their relationship proved difficult, and Conan Doyle soon left to set up an independent practice. Arriving in Portsmouth in June of that year with less than £10 (£700 today) to his name, he set up a medical practice at 1 Bush Villas in Elm Grove, Southsea. The practice was initially not very successful. While waiting for patients, Conan Doyle began writing stories and composed his first novels, The Mystery of Cloomber, not published until 1888, and the unfinished Narrative of John Smith, which would go unpublished until 2011. He amassed a portfolio of short stories including \\\"The Captain of the Pole-Star\\\" and \\\"J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement\\\", both inspired by Doyle's time at sea.

Doyle struggled to find a publisher for his work. His first significant piece, A Study in Scarlet, was taken by Ward Lock & Co on 20 November 1886, giving Doyle £25 for all rights to the story. The piece appeared later that year in the Beeton's Christmas Annual and received good reviews in The Scotsman and the Glasgow Herald. The story featured the first appearance of Watson and Sherlock Holmes, partially modeled after his former university teacher Joseph Bell. Conan Doyle wrote to him, \\\"It is most certainly to you that I owe Sherlock Holmes. Round the center of deduction and inference and observation which I have heard you inculcate I have tried to build up a man.\\\"\"}]",{"_265":266,"_267":4626,"_254":10196},{"_265":266,"_267":306,"_254":208},{"_265":266,"_267":302,"_254":4631},{"_265":266,"_267":8626,"_254":3868},{"_265":266,"_267":4698,"_254":10270},"[\"Mystery & Thrillers\",\"Other Mystery Categories\",\"Traditional British Mysteries - Other\",\"Thrillers\",\"Crime Thrillers\",\"Crime Fiction\",\"Fiction\",\"eBook & NOOK\",\"Short Stories\",\"Short Story Collections\",\"Short Stories - Other\",\"Books\",\"Fiction Subjects\",\"Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction\",\"Fiction Classics - Other\",\"eBooks & NOOK\",\"Psychological Suspense\"]",{"_265":266,"_267":4701,"_254":10272},"[{\"categoryId\":\"2816044\",\"displayName\":\"Mystery & Thrillers\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"924479\",\"displayName\":\"Other Mystery Categories\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"1303076\",\"displayName\":\"Traditional British Mysteries - Other\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"244\",\"displayName\":\"Thrillers\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"677900\",\"displayName\":\"Crime Thrillers\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"924477\",\"displayName\":\"Crime Fiction\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"3652453\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2796704\",\"displayName\":\"eBook & NOOK\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2821887\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2916020\",\"displayName\":\"Short Stories\",\"displayWeight\":190,\"typeId\":81,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"890871\",\"displayName\":\"Short Story Collections\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"1305647\",\"displayName\":\"Short Stories - Other\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2796683\",\"displayName\":\"Books\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"914097\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction Subjects\",\"displayWeight\":190,\"typeId\":81,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"13\",\"displayName\":\"Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction\",\"displayWeight\":180,\"typeId\":82,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"1305485\",\"displayName\":\"Fiction Classics - Other\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"2796685\",\"displayName\":\"eBooks & NOOK\",\"displayWeight\":200,\"typeId\":128,\"isSignificant\":false},{\"categoryId\":\"276\",\"displayName\":\"Psychological Suspense\",\"displayWeight\":170,\"typeId\":83,\"isSignificant\":true}]",{"_265":266,"_267":8632,"_254":8633},{"_265":266,"_267":4632,"_254":10241},{"_265":266,"_267":4635,"_254":4759},{"_4708":10277},{"_36":10278,"_78":4803,"_4576":10279,"_209":10280,"_213":10281,"_211":10282,"_4581":4582,"_4583":4582,"_4585":10283,"_207":208,"_222":10284,"_231":10287,"_4596":10290,"_4599":10297,"_4602":10303,"_4617":10314,"_4623":10320,"_4472":10321,"_4626":10322,"_306":10323,"_302":10324,"_4632":10325,"_4635":10327,"_4638":-5,"_4639":-5,"_272":-5,"_4642":-5,"_56":-5,"_62":-5,"_4648":-5,"_4651":-5,"_4652":-5,"_283":10328,"_4546":10329,"_4656":-5,"_4657":-5,"_258":10330,"_4658":10331,"_4661":-5,"_4662":-5,"_4663":-5,"_298":10332,"_4666":-5,"_4667":10333,"_4669":10334,"_4672":10335,"_4675":10336,"_4680":-5,"_4681":10337,"_4682":-5,"_261":10339},"gid://shopify/Product/9240984355056","Lost Leaf Publications","2940016783802","This marvelous collection of mysteries carries readers back to a gas-lit era, when literature's greatest detective team lived on Baker Street.

This gripping collection includes many of the famous cases-and great strokes of brilliance-that made the legendary Sherlock Holmes one of fiction's most popular creations. With his devoted secretary, Dr. Watson, Holmes emerges from his smoke-filled rooms on Baker Street to grapple with the forces of treachery, intrigue, and evil in such cases as \"The Speckled Band,\" in which a terrified woman begs Holmes and Watson's help in solving the mystery surrounding her sister's death, and \"A Scandal in Bohemia,\" which portrays a European king blackmailed by his mistress. A spine-tingling treat for anyone who loves a classic whodunit, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes shows the inimitable detective at his best.

A Scandal in Bohemia

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.",[4587,4588],{"_224":10618,"_235":10619},{"_226":684,"_228":229},{"_226":684,"_228":229},{"_224":10621,"_235":10622},{"_226":234,"_228":229},{"_226":234,"_228":229},{"_239":10624},[10625],{"_36":10626,"_60":10627,"_221":-5,"_62":10628,"_56":10629},"gid://shopify/ProductImage/48223163744496","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0737/7593/9824/files/262443708.jpg?v=1747305305",933,1383,{"_239":10631},[10632],{"_36":10633,"_192":10634},"gid://shopify/MediaImage/39611198832880",{"_36":10635,"_60":10627,"_221":-5,"_62":10628,"_56":10629},"gid://shopify/ImageSource/39634007458032",[10637],{"_252":253,"_4605":10638},[10639],{"_252":255,"_4608":10640,"_4616":-5},{"_230":121,"_243":-5,"_36":10641,"_192":10642,"_245":10643,"_247":10644,"_249":10645,"_256":10614,"_78":255,"_257":-5,"_4615":8},"gid://shopify/ProductVariant/47073043284208",{"_203":4740,"_36":10626,"_60":10627,"_221":-5,"_62":10628,"_56":10629},{"_226":684,"_228":229},{"_78":4803,"_209":10614},[10646],{"_252":253,"_254":255},{"_230":121,"_243":-5,"_36":10641,"_192":10648,"_245":10649,"_247":10650,"_249":10651,"_256":10614,"_78":255,"_257":-5,"_4615":8},{"_203":4740,"_36":10626,"_60":10627,"_221":-5,"_62":10628,"_56":10629},{"_226":684,"_228":229},{"_78":4803,"_209":10614},[10652],{"_252":253,"_254":255},[],{"_211":-5,"_78":-5},{"_254":10614},{"_254":208},{"_254":4631},{"_254":10659},"2014-06-20T04:00:00Z",{"_254":4637},{"_254":10662},"2014-06-16T04:00:00Z",{"_254":208},{"_254":4655},{"_254":8596},{"_254":4660},{"_254":4873},{"_254":4004},{"_254":8603},{"_254":8605},{"_4677":4678,"_254":8780},{"_4677":5837,"_254":10673},"[{\"Key\":\"BrowseMinutes\",\"Value\":\"60\"},{\"Key\":\"DCVendorName\",\"Value\":\"Gloria Shepperd\"},{\"Key\":\"DigitalSampleCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"},{\"Key\":\"eGiftStatusCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"},{\"Key\":\"FileSize\",\"Value\":\"332030\"},{\"Key\":\"hasDRM\",\"Value\":\"0\"},{\"Key\":\"isBrowsable\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"isEnhanced\",\"Value\":\"0\"},{\"Key\":\"isLoanable\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"LoanDays\",\"Value\":\"14\"},{\"Key\":\"MaxLoans\",\"Value\":\"1\"},{\"Key\":\"SampleEAN\",\"Value\":\"2970149779236\"},{\"Key\":\"SoldBy\",\"Value\":\"Barnes & Noble\"},{\"Key\":\"vendorId\",\"Value\":\"PUB0094148\"},{\"Key\":\"WebReadCode\",\"Value\":\"Y\"}]",[10675,10676,10677,10678,10679,10680,10681,-5,10682,10683,-5,-5,-5,-5,10684,10685,-5,-5,-5,10686,10688,-5,-5,-5,-5,10690,-5,-5,-5,10691,10692,-5,-5,-5],{"_265":266,"_267":298,"_254":4873},{"_265":266,"_267":4667,"_254":4004},{"_265":266,"_267":268,"_254":4687},{"_265":266,"_267":280,"_254":208},{"_265":266,"_267":283,"_254":208},{"_265":266,"_267":286,"_254":158},{"_265":266,"_267":290,"_254":291},{"_265":266,"_267":4626,"_254":10614},{"_265":266,"_267":306,"_254":208},{"_265":266,"_267":302,"_254":4631},{"_265":266,"_267":8626,"_254":3868},{"_265":266,"_267":4698,"_254":10687},"[\"Fiction\",\"eBook & NOOK\",\"Books\",\"Fiction Subjects\",\"Literary Styles & Movements -

L. Burt Company, Publishers, 1920","2940157532420","The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892; the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.

In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, \"A Scandal in Bohemia\", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking \"The Adventure of the Speckled Band\" as his overall favourite.

This edition of the book contains the four original illustrations, rejuvenated, and six additional illustrations of London life that are unique to this edition of the book.","The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.

Book Excerpt

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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men’s motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high–power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.

I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home–centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.","A colonel receives five seeds in the mail--and dies within weeks.

A Scandal in Bohemia

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.

\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"

\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.

\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"

\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"

\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.

\\\"Frequently.\\\"

\\\"How often?\\\"

\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"

\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"

\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"

The note was undated, and without either signature or address.

• • •

\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"

I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.

\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"

I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.

\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.

\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"

\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.

As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.

\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"

\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"

\\\"But your client—\\\"

\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"

A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.

\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"

I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"

\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.

\\\"And I.\\\"

\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.

\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.

\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"

\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.

\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"

\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"

\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"

\\\"None.\\\"

\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"

\\\"There is the writing.\\\"

\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"

\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"

\\\"Stolen.\\\"

\\\"My own seal.\\\"

\\\"Imitated.\\\"

\\\"My photograph.\\\"

\\\"Bought.\\\"

\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"

\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"

\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"

\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"

\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"

\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"

\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"

\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"

\\\"She will not sell.\\\"

\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"

\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"

\\\"No sign of it?\\\"

\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"

Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.

\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.

\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"

\\\"To ruin me.\\\"

\\\"But how?\\\"

\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"

\\\"So I have heard.\\\"

\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"

\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"

\\\"I am sure.\\\"

\\\"And why?\\\"

\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"

\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"

\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"

\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"

\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"

\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"

\\\"Absolutely?\\\"

\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"

\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.

\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"

Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"

\\\"It was.\\\"

\\\"The original and immortal stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle¿\\\"

Sir John Gielgud stars as Sherlock Holmes with Sir Ralph Richardson as Dr. Watson. John's brother, Val Gielgud, the celebrated mystery author and producer, directs several episodes and co-stars in one of them... as Sherlock's brother! As a finishing touch, Orson Welles plays the evil Moriarty. The shows created by this very special team are possibly the greatest Sherlock Holmes radio programs ever produced. This set features all sixteen episodes in their most complete surviving examples - taken from what currently exists of the syndication masters.

Come hear tales of mystery and murder, espionage and intrigue, revenge and resolution in the gas-lit London of Queen Victoria, hansom cabs, and one brilliant Baker Street detective.

A Scandal in Bohemia
Chapter 1
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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week betweencocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"
\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.
\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"
\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"
\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"\\\"My dear Holmes,\\\" said I, \\\"this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can't imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.\\\"
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.\\\"It is simplicity itself,\\\" said he; \\\"my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.\\\"

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. \\\"When I hear you give your reasons,\\\" I remarked, \\\"the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.\\\"
\\\"Quite so,\\\" he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. \\\"You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.\\\"
\\\"Frequently.\\\"
\\\"How often?\\\"
\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"
\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"
\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"
\\\"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.\\\" He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. \\\"It came by the last post,\\\" said he. \\\"Read it aloud.\\\"
The note was undated, and without either signature or address.
• • •
\\\"There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o'clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.
• • •
\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"
\\\"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?\\\"
I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.
\\\"The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,\\\" I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion's processes. \\\"Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.\\\"
\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"
I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.
\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.
\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"
\\\"Not at all. The 'G' with the small 't' stands for 'Gesellschaft,' which is the German for 'Company.' It is a customary contraction like our 'Co.' 'P,' of course, stands for 'Papier.' Now for the 'Eg.' Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.\\\" He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. \\\"Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. 'Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.' Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?\\\" His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.
\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.
\\\"Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.\\\"
As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.
\\\"A pair, by the sound,\\\" said he. \\\"Yes,\\\" he continued, glancing out of the window. \\\"A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There's money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.\\\"
\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"
\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"
\\\"But your client—\\\"
\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"
A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.
\\\"You had my note?\\\" he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. \\\"I told you that I would call.\\\" He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.
\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"
\\\"You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.\\\"
I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"
The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. \\\"Then I must begin,\\\" said he, \\\"by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.\\\"
\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.
\\\"And I.\\\"
\\\"You will excuse this mask,\\\" continued our strange visitor. \\\"The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.\\\"
\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.
\\\"The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.
Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.
\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"
The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. \\\"You are right,\\\" he cried; \\\"I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?\\\"
\\\"Why, indeed?\\\" murmured Holmes. \\\"Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"But you can understand,\\\" said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, \\\"you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.\\\"
\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.
\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"
\\\"Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,\\\" murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.
\\\"Let me see!\\\" said Holmes. \\\"Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.\\\"
\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"
\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"
\\\"There is the writing.\\\"
\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"
\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"
\\\"Stolen.\\\"
\\\"My own seal.\\\"
\\\"Imitated.\\\"
\\\"My photograph.\\\"
\\\"Bought.\\\"
\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"
\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"
\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"
\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"
\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"
\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"
\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"
\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"
\\\"She will not sell.\\\"
\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"
\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"
\\\"No sign of it?\\\"
\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"
Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.
\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.
\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"
\\\"To ruin me.\\\"
\\\"But how?\\\"
\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"
\\\"So I have heard.\\\"
\\\"To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.\\\"
\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"
\\\"Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.\\\"
\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"
\\\"I am sure.\\\"
\\\"And why?\\\"
\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"
\\\"Oh, then we have three days yet,\\\" said Holmes with a yawn. \\\"That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?\\\"
\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"
\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"
\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"
\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"
\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"
\\\"Absolutely?\\\"
\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"
\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"
The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.
\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"
Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"
\\\"It was.\\\"
\\\"Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,\\\" he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. \\\"If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.\\\"

A Scandal in Bohemia
Chapter 1
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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week betweencocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland.

One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"
\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.
\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"
\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"
\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"\\\"My dear Holmes,\\\" said I, \\\"this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can't imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.\\\"
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.\\\"It is simplicity itself,\\\" said he; \\\"my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts.

A Scandal in Bohemia
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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer—excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home-centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week between cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well-remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.

He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.
\\\"It is simplicity itself,\\\" said he; \\\"my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it.

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. \\\"When I hear you give your reasons,\\\" I remarked, \\\"the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.\\\"
\\\"Quite so,\\\" he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. \\\"You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.\\\"
\\\"Frequently.\\\"
\\\"How often?\\\"
\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"
\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"
\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"
\\\"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.\\\" He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. \\\"It came by the last post,\\\" said he. \\\"Read it aloud.\\\"
The note was undated, and without either signature or address.
• • •
\\\"There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o'clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.
• • •
\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"
\\\"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?\\\"
I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.
\\\"The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,\\\" I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion's processes. \\\"Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.\\\"
\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"
I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.
\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.
\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"
\\\"Not at all. The 'G' with the small 't' stands for 'Gesellschaft,' which is the German for 'Company.' It is a customary contraction like our 'Co.' 'P,' of course, stands for 'Papier.' Now for the 'Eg.' Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.\\\" He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. \\\"Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. 'Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.' Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?\\\" His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.
\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.
\\\"Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.\\\"
As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.
\\\"A pair, by the sound,\\\" said he. \\\"Yes,\\\" he continued, glancing out of the window. \\\"A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There's money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.\\\"
\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"
\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"
\\\"But your client—\\\"
\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"
A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.
\\\"You had my note?\\\" he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. \\\"I told you that I would call.\\\" He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.
\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"
\\\"You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.\\\"
I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"
The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. \\\"Then I must begin,\\\" said he, \\\"by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.\\\"
\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.
\\\"And I.\\\"
\\\"You will excuse this mask,\\\" continued our strange visitor. \\\"The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.\\\"
\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.
\\\"The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.
Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.
\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"
The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. \\\"You are right,\\\" he cried; \\\"I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?\\\"
\\\"Why, indeed?\\\" murmured Holmes. \\\"Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"But you can understand,\\\" said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, \\\"you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.\\\"
\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.
\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"
\\\"Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,\\\" murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.
\\\"Let me see!\\\" said Holmes. \\\"Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.\\\"
\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"
\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"
\\\"There is the writing.\\\"
\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"
\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"
\\\"Stolen.\\\"
\\\"My own seal.\\\"
\\\"Imitated.\\\"
\\\"My photograph.\\\"
\\\"Bought.\\\"
\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"
\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"
\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"
\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"
\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"
\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"
\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"
\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"
\\\"She will not sell.\\\"
\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"
\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"
\\\"No sign of it?\\\"
\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"
Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.
\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.
\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"
\\\"To ruin me.\\\"
\\\"But how?\\\"
\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"
\\\"So I have heard.\\\"
\\\"To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.\\\"
\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"
\\\"Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.\\\"
\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"
\\\"I am sure.\\\"
\\\"And why?\\\"
\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"
\\\"Oh, then we have three days yet,\\\" said Holmes with a yawn. \\\"That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?\\\"
\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"
\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"
\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"
\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"
\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"
\\\"Absolutely?\\\"
\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"
\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"
The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.
\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"
Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"
\\\"It was.\\\"
\\\"Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,\\\" he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. \\\"If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.\\\"

A Scandal in Bohemia
Chapter 1
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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week betweencocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"
\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.
\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"
\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"
\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"\\\"My dear Holmes,\\\" said I, \\\"this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can't imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.\\\"
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.\\\"It is simplicity itself,\\\" said he; \\\"my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.\\\"

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. \\\"When I hear you give your reasons,\\\" I remarked, \\\"the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.\\\"
\\\"Quite so,\\\" he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. \\\"You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.\\\"
\\\"Frequently.\\\"
\\\"How often?\\\"
\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"
\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"
\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"
\\\"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.\\\" He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. \\\"It came by the last post,\\\" said he. \\\"Read it aloud.\\\"
The note was undated, and without either signature or address.
• • •
\\\"There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o'clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.
• • •
\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"
\\\"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?\\\"
I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.
\\\"The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,\\\" I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion's processes. \\\"Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.\\\"
\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"
I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.
\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.
\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"
\\\"Not at all. The 'G' with the small 't' stands for 'Gesellschaft,' which is the German for 'Company.' It is a customary contraction like our 'Co.' 'P,' of course, stands for 'Papier.' Now for the 'Eg.' Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.\\\" He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. \\\"Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. 'Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.' Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?\\\" His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.
\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.
\\\"Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.\\\"
As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.
\\\"A pair, by the sound,\\\" said he. \\\"Yes,\\\" he continued, glancing out of the window. \\\"A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There's money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.\\\"
\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"
\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"
\\\"But your client—\\\"
\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"
A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.
\\\"You had my note?\\\" he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. \\\"I told you that I would call.\\\" He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.
\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"
\\\"You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.\\\"
I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"
The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. \\\"Then I must begin,\\\" said he, \\\"by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.\\\"
\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.
\\\"And I.\\\"
\\\"You will excuse this mask,\\\" continued our strange visitor. \\\"The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.\\\"
\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.
\\\"The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.
Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.
\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"
The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. \\\"You are right,\\\" he cried; \\\"I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?\\\"
\\\"Why, indeed?\\\" murmured Holmes. \\\"Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"But you can understand,\\\" said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, \\\"you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.\\\"
\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.
\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"
\\\"Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,\\\" murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.
\\\"Let me see!\\\" said Holmes. \\\"Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.\\\"
\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"
\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"
\\\"There is the writing.\\\"
\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"
\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"
\\\"Stolen.\\\"
\\\"My own seal.\\\"
\\\"Imitated.\\\"
\\\"My photograph.\\\"
\\\"Bought.\\\"
\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"
\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"
\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"
\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"
\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"
\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"
\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"
\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"
\\\"She will not sell.\\\"
\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"
\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"
\\\"No sign of it?\\\"
\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"
Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.
\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.
\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"
\\\"To ruin me.\\\"
\\\"But how?\\\"
\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"
\\\"So I have heard.\\\"
\\\"To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.\\\"
\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"
\\\"Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.\\\"
\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"
\\\"I am sure.\\\"
\\\"And why?\\\"
\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"
\\\"Oh, then we have three days yet,\\\" said Holmes with a yawn. \\\"That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?\\\"
\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"
\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"
\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"
\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"
\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"
\\\"Absolutely?\\\"
\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"
\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"
The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.
\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"
Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"
\\\"It was.\\\"
\\\"Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,\\\" he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. \\\"If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.\\\"

Chapter 1
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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week betweencocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"
\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.
\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more. Just a trifle more, I fancy, Watson. And in practice again, I observe. You did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.\\\"
\\\"Then, how do you know?\\\"
\\\"I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?\\\"\\\"My dear Holmes,\\\" said I, \\\"this is too much. You would certainly have been burned, had you lived a few centuries ago. It is true that I had a country walk on Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I have changed my clothes I can't imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, and my wife has given her notice; but there, again, I fail to see how you work it out.\\\"
He chuckled to himself and rubbed his long, nervous hands together.\\\"It is simplicity itself,\\\" said he; \\\"my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe, just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts. Obviously they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scraped round the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey. As to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my rooms smelling of iodoform, with a black mark of nitrate of silver upon his right forefinger, and a bulge on the right side of his top hat to show where he has secreted his stethoscope, I must be dull, indeed, if I do not pronounce him to be an active member of the medical profession.\\\"

I could not help laughing at the ease with which he explained his process of deduction. \\\"When I hear you give your reasons,\\\" I remarked, \\\"the thing always appears to me to be so ridiculously simple that I could easily do it myself, though at each successive instance of your reasoning I am baffled until you explain your process. And yet I believe that my eyes are as good as yours.\\\"
\\\"Quite so,\\\" he answered, lighting a cigarette, and throwing himself down into an armchair. \\\"You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear. For example, you have frequently seen the steps which lead up from the hall to this room.\\\"
\\\"Frequently.\\\"
\\\"How often?\\\"
\\\"Well, some hundreds of times.\\\"
\\\"Then how many are there?\\\"
\\\"How many? I don't know.\\\"
\\\"Quite so! You have not observed. And yet you have seen. That is just my point. Now, I know that there are seventeen steps, because I have both seen and observed. By the way, since you are interested in these little problems, and since you are good enough to chronicle one or two of my trifling experiences, you may be interested in this.\\\" He threw over a sheet of thick, pink-tinted note-paper which had been lying open upon the table. \\\"It came by the last post,\\\" said he. \\\"Read it aloud.\\\"
The note was undated, and without either signature or address.
• • •
\\\"There will call upon you to-night, at a quarter to eight o'clock [it said], a gentleman who desires to consult you upon a matter of the very deepest moment. Your recent services to one of the royal houses of Europe have shown that you are one who may safely be trusted with matters which are of an importance which can hardly be exaggerated. This account of you we have from all quarters received. Be in your chamber then at that hour, and do not take it amiss if your visitor wear a mask.
• • •
\\\"This is indeed a mystery,\\\" I remarked. \\\"What do you imagine that it means?\\\"
\\\"I have no data yet. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. But the note itself. What do you deduce from it?\\\"
I carefully examined the writing, and the paper upon which it was written.
\\\"The man who wrote it was presumably well to do,\\\" I remarked, endeavouring to imitate my companion's processes. \\\"Such paper could not be bought under half a crown a packet. It is peculiarly strong and stiff.\\\"
\\\"Peculiar—that is the very word,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"It is not an English paper at all. Hold it up to the light.\\\"
I did so, and saw a large \\\"E\\\" with a small \\\"g,\\\" a \\\"P,\\\" and a large \\\"G\\\" with a small \\\"t\\\" woven into the texture of the paper.
\\\"What do you make of that?\\\" asked Holmes.
\\\"The name of the maker, no doubt; or his monogram, rather.\\\"
\\\"Not at all. The 'G' with the small 't' stands for 'Gesellschaft,' which is the German for 'Company.' It is a customary contraction like our 'Co.' 'P,' of course, stands for 'Papier.' Now for the 'Eg.' Let us glance at our Continental Gazetteer.\\\" He took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. \\\"Eglow, Eglonitz—here we are, Egria. It is in a German-speaking country—in Bohemia, not far from Carlsbad. 'Remarkable as being the scene of the death of Wallenstein, and for its numerous glass-factories and paper-mills.' Ha, ha, my boy, what do you make of that?\\\" His eyes sparkled, and he sent up a great blue triumphant cloud from his cigarette.
\\\"The paper was made in Bohemia,\\\" I said.
\\\"Precisely. And the man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence—'This account of you we have from all quarters received.' A Frenchman or Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs. It only remains, therefore, to discover what is wanted by this German who writes upon Bohemian paper and prefers wearing a mask to showing his face. And here he comes, if I am not mistaken, to resolve all our doubts.\\\"
As he spoke there was the sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell. Holmes whistled.
\\\"A pair, by the sound,\\\" said he. \\\"Yes,\\\" he continued, glancing out of the window. \\\"A nice little brougham and a pair of beauties. A hundred and fifty guineas apiece. There's money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else.\\\"
\\\"I think that I had better go, Holmes.\\\"
\\\"Not a bit, Doctor. Stay where you are. I am lost without my Boswell. And this promises to be interesting. It would be a pity to miss it.\\\"
\\\"But your client—\\\"
\\\"Never mind him. I may want your help, and so may he. Here he comes. Sit down in that armchair, Doctor, and give us your best attention.\\\"
A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs and in the passage, paused immediately outside the door. Then there was a loud and authoritative tap.
\\\"Come in!\\\" said Holmes.
A man entered who could hardly have been less than six feet six inches in height, with the chest and limbs of a Hercules. His dress was rich with a richness which would, in England, be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of astrakhan were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted coat, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with flame-coloured silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming beryl. Boots which extended halfway up his calves, and which were trimmed at the tops with rich brown fur, completed the impression of barbaric opulence which was suggested by his whole appearance. He carried a broad-brimmed hat in his hand, while he wore across the upper part of his face, extending down past the cheekbones, a black vizard mask, which he had apparently adjusted that very moment, for his hand was still raised to it as he entered. From the lower part of the face he appeared to be a man of strong character, with a thick, hanging lip, and a long, straight chin suggestive of resolution pushed to the length of obstinacy.
\\\"You had my note?\\\" he asked with a deep harsh voice and a strongly marked German accent. \\\"I told you that I would call.\\\" He looked from one to the other of us, as if uncertain which to address.
\\\"Pray take a seat,\\\" said Holmes. \\\"This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson, who is occasionally good enough to help me in my cases. Whom have I the honour to address?\\\"
\\\"You may address me as the Count Von Kramm, a Bohemian nobleman. I understand that this gentleman, your friend, is a man of honour and discretion, whom I may trust with a matter of the most extreme importance. If not, I should much prefer to communicate with you alone.\\\"
I rose to go, but Holmes caught me by the wrist and pushed me back into my chair. \\\"It is both, or none,\\\" said he. \\\"You may say before this gentleman anything which you may say to me.\\\"
The Count shrugged his broad shoulders. \\\"Then I must begin,\\\" said he, \\\"by binding you both to absolute secrecy for two years; at the end of that time the matter will be of no importance. At present it is not too much to say that it is not too much to say that it is of such weight it may have an influence upon European history.\\\"
\\\"I promise,\\\" said Holmes.
\\\"And I.\\\"
\\\"You will excuse this mask,\\\" continued our strange visitor. \\\"The august person who employs me wishes his agent to be unknown to you, and I may confess at once that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own.\\\"
\\\"I was aware of it,\\\" said Holmes drily.
\\\"The circumstances are of great delicacy, and every precaution has to be taken to quench what might grow to be an immense scandal and seriously compromise one of the reigning families of Europe. To speak plainly, the matter implicates the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"I was also aware of that,\\\" murmured Holmes, settling himself down in his armchair and closing his eyes.
Our visitor glanced with some apparent surprise at the languid, lounging figure of the man who had been no doubt depicted to him as the most incisive reasoner and most energetic agent in Europe. Holmes slowly reopened his eyes and looked impatiently at his gigantic client.
\\\"If your Majesty would condescend to state your case,\\\" he remarked, \\\"I should be better able to advise you.\\\"
The man sprang from his chair and paced up and down the room in uncontrollable agitation. Then, with a gesture of desperation, he tore the mask from his face and hurled it upon the ground. \\\"You are right,\\\" he cried; \\\"I am the King. Why should I attempt to conceal it?\\\"
\\\"Why, indeed?\\\" murmured Holmes. \\\"Your Majesty had not spoken before I was aware that I was addressing Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein, and hereditary King of Bohemia.\\\"
\\\"But you can understand,\\\" said our strange visitor, sitting down once more and passing his hand over his high white forehead, \\\"you can understand that I am not accustomed to doing such business in my own person. Yet the matter was so delicate that I could not confide it to an agent without putting myself in his power. I have come incognito from Prague for the purpose of consulting you.\\\"
\\\"Then, pray consult,\\\" said Holmes, shutting his eyes once more.
\\\"The facts are briefly these: Some five years ago, during a lengthy visit to Warsaw, I made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler. The name is no doubt familiar to you.\\\"
\\\"Kindly look her up in my index, Doctor,\\\" murmured Holmes without opening his eyes. For many years he had adopted a system of docketing all paragraphs concerning men and things, so that it was difficult to name a subject or a person on which he could not at once furnish information. In this case I found her biography sandwiched in between that of a Hebrew rabbi and that of a staff-commander who had written a monograph upon the deep-sea fishes.
\\\"Let me see!\\\" said Holmes. \\\"Hum! Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto—hum! La Scala, hum! Prima donna Imperial Opera of Warsaw—yes! Retired from operatic stage—ha! Living in London—quite so! Your Majesty, as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote her some compromising letters, and is now desirous of getting those letters back.\\\"
\\\"Precisely so. But how—\\\"
\\\"Was there a secret marriage?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"No legal papers or certificates?\\\"
\\\"None.\\\"
\\\"Then I fail to follow your Majesty. If this young person should produce her letters for blackmailing or other purposes, how is she to prove their authenticity?\\\"
\\\"There is the writing.\\\"
\\\"Pooh, pooh! Forgery.\\\"
\\\"My private note-paper.\\\"
\\\"Stolen.\\\"
\\\"My own seal.\\\"
\\\"Imitated.\\\"
\\\"My photograph.\\\"
\\\"Bought.\\\"
\\\"We were both in the photograph.\\\"
\\\"Oh, dear! That is very bad! Your Majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.\\\"
\\\"I was mad—insane.\\\"
\\\"You have compromised yourself seriously.\\\"
\\\"I was only Crown Prince then. I was young. I am but thirty now.\\\"
\\\"It must be recovered.\\\"
\\\"We have tried and failed.\\\"
\\\"Your Majesty must pay. It must be bought.\\\"
\\\"She will not sell.\\\"
\\\"Stolen, then.\\\"
\\\"Five attempts have been made. Twice burglars in my pay ransacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been waylaid. There has been no result.\\\"
\\\"No sign of it?\\\"
\\\"Absolutely none.\\\"
Holmes laughed. \\\"It is quite a pretty little problem,\\\" said he.
\\\"But a very serious one to me,\\\" returned the King reproachfully.
\\\"Very, indeed. And what does she propose to do with the photograph?\\\"
\\\"To ruin me.\\\"
\\\"But how?\\\"
\\\"I am about to be married.\\\"
\\\"So I have heard.\\\"
\\\"To Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. You may know the strict principles of her family. She is herself the very soul of delicacy. A shadow of a doubt as to my conduct would bring the matter to an end.\\\"
\\\"And Irene Adler?\\\"
\\\"Threatens to send them the photograph. And she will do it. I know that she will do it. You do not know her, but she has a soul of steel. She has the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men. Rather than I should marry another woman, there are no lengths to which she would not go—none.\\\"
\\\"You are sure that she has not sent it yet?\\\"
\\\"I am sure.\\\"
\\\"And why?\\\"
\\\"Because she has said that she would send it on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. That will be next Monday.\\\"
\\\"Oh, then we have three days yet,\\\" said Holmes with a yawn. \\\"That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?\\\"
\\\"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm.\\\"
\\\"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress.\\\"
\\\"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety.\\\"
\\\"Then, as to money?\\\"
\\\"You have carte blanche.\\\"
\\\"Absolutely?\\\"
\\\"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph.\\\"
\\\"And for present expenses?\\\"
The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.
\\\"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes,\\\" he said.
Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.
\\\"And Mademoiselle's address?\\\" he asked.
\\\"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood.\\\"
Holmes took a note of it. \\\"One other question,\\\" said he. \\\"Was the photograph a cabinet?\\\"
\\\"It was.\\\"
\\\"Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson,\\\" he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street. \\\"If you will be good enough to call to-morrow afternoon at three o'clock I should like to chat this little matter over with you.\\\"

It was first published on 14 October 1892; the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between July 1891 and June 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. The stories are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.
In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, \\\"A Scandal in Bohemia\\\", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking \\\"The Adventure of the Speckled Band\\\" as his overall favourite.

A Scandal in Bohemia
Chapter 1
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. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They were admirable things for the observer excellent for drawing the veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage had drifted us away from each other. My own complete happiness, and the home centred interests which rise up around the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my attention, while Holmes, who loathed every form of society with his whole Bohemian soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker Street, buried among his old books, and alternating from week to week betweencocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the drug and the fierce energy of his own keen nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by the study of crime, and occupied his immense faculties and extraordinary powers of observation in following out those clues, and clearing up those mysteries which had been abandoned as hopeless by the official police. From time to time I heard some vague account of his doings: of his summons to Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally of the mission which he had accomplished so delicately and successfully for the reigning family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his activity, however, which I merely shared with all the readers of the daily press, I knew little of my former friend and companion.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March, 1888—I was returning from a journey to a patient (for I had now returned to civil practice), when my way led me through Baker Street. As I passed the well remembered door, which must always be associated in my mind with my wooing, and with the dark incidents of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know how he was employing his extraordinary powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and, even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure pass twice in a dark silhouette against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest and his hands clasped behind him. To me, who knew his every mood and habit, his attitude and manner told their own story. He was at work again. He had risen out of his drug-created dreams and was hot upon the scent of some new problem. I rang the bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive. It seldom was; but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he waved me to an armchair, threw across his case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
\\\"Wedlock suits you,\\\" he remarked. \\\"I think, Watson, that you have put on seven and a half pounds since I saw you.\\\"
\\\"Seven!\\\" I answered.
\\\"Indeed, I should have thought a little more
