Research Paper On Sherlock Holmes

I was reviewing my notes of all the cases I have done in my eight years with Sherlock Holmes. I am inspired by his resolve to decipher mysteries to aid others without regard for wealth or fame. Many cases were strange, others ridiculous, quite a few were amusing and entertaining. The best of my recollection was my first case with Mr. Holmes. I was ecstatic about my new job; to shadow a detective, Holmes, the best detective of all of England. I find his skills, knowledge, and methods stupefying. I mused at the opportunity to assist Holmes solve a mystery and what particular crime it would be. Was it going to be a murder, a kidnapping, a robbery, a disappearance, my list was endless. My mind went wild over the possibilities. When at Sunday at

Stoner continued to cry. “That’s a lie. That’s what they all say!”
“Mrs. Stoner, I have only known Sherlock for some wee hours, but I assure you that Holmes is a man of his word.” Watson defended.
Back at Butler’s mansion we interviewed the people checking invitations and asked if anything seemed out of place. No one indicated any suspicious characters or behavior. However, one of the staff did implicate a young woman named Virginia Smith with incredibly big feet to which he thought was quite odd.

When Sherlock and I gave Mr. St. Claire a visit at his office, he was sitting and was very focused on his work. He stated that he was in his office cubicle all night. He did see James and asked him to do an

Claire confessed. “I owed this man Dr. Roylott money and he threatened that there will be consequences for the debt if I did not have the money by Friday.

I would become a pauper and I was expected to be the one who made the money for food, clothes, and the house. I borrowed money from Dr. Roylott, but with his abusive history, I realize that was not the best idea. I was not able to defray the debt. The only way I could get money was if I took someone for ransom. I sent James on an errand to distract him because he is very clever and could easily find out what I was up to. I could not allow James McCarthy to find out or I would not be able to execute the plan. I feigned a young lady so I could befriend Helen easier that way. I stole a dress and found a wig in the street. I adopted the name Virginia Smith for my female self. I was easily able to convince Helen to be friends with me and lured her into a walk where then I held her as hostage. I sent a man I found in the street to send a telegram notifying you about Helen. I apologize. It was a vile
