A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. 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 important 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 jive 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-centered interest which rise up round the man who first finds himself master of his own establishment were sufficient to absorb all my attention, and 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 Trepov murder, of his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the Atkinson brothers at Trincomaly, 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 share, with all the readers of the Daily Press, I knew little of my former friend and companion. One night it was on the 20th 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 Scarlett, 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 breast, 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 gasogyny in the corner. Then he stood before the fire, and looked me over in his singular, introspective fashion. "'Wedlock, suit 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 mass. 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. According to your practice, if a gentleman walks into my room smelling a video form 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 quite 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 we'll call upon you to-night at a quarter to eight o'clock, it's 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 words, at 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 C-O. P, of course, stands for Papier. No for the E-G. At his glance at our continental gazetteer, he took down a heavy brown volume from his shelves. Eglot, 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. 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 a sharp sound of horses' hoofs and grating wheels against the curb, followed by a sharp pull at the bell, Holmes whistled.  There's money in this case, Watson, if there is nothing else. I think that I had better go, Holmes.  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 arm-chair, 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, which was rich with a richness which would in England be looked upon as akin to bad taste. Heavy bands of Astercum were slashed across the sleeves and fronts of his double-breasted colt, while the deep blue cloak which was thrown over his shoulders was lined with a flame-colored silk and secured at the neck with a brooch which consisted of a single flaming barrel. 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 wizard 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 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 Count von Kram, 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 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 make him this at once, that the title by which I have just called myself is not exactly my own. I was aware of it, said Holmes, dryly. 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, a redditary king of Ohemia. 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 Bill Helm, Götzreich, Sigitzmond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Kasselfelstein, and a redditary 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 adventurous 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. Hmm. Born in New Jersey in the year 1858. Contralto. Hmm. Let's call ya. Hmm. Premedonna 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. Pufu. Forgery. My private note paper. Stolen. My own seal. Imitated. My photograph. But. 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 a 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 ran sacked her house. Once we diverted her luggage when she travelled. Twice she has been way-laid. 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. Two Clotilda Lothman, von Saxem 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 at, said Holmes with a yawn. That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to work 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 Kram. 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 the money. You have carte blanche. Absolutely. I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom 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 notebook and handed it to him. And Mademoiselle's address, he asked. His Breonnais Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood. Holmes took a note of it. One of the questions, 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 tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock, I should like to chat this little matter over with you. At three o'clock, precisely, I was at Baker Street, but Holmes had not yet returned. The landlady informed me that he had left the house shortly after eight o'clock in the morning. I sat down beside the fire, however, with the intention of awaiting him, however long he might be. I was already deeply interested in his inquiry, for though it was surrounded by none of the grim and strange features which were associated with the two crimes which I have already recorded, still the nature of the case and the exalted station of his client gave it a character of its own. Indeed, apart from the nature of the investigation, which my friend had on hand, there was something in his masterly grasp of a situation and his keen and sissy reasoning which made it a pleasure to me to study his system of work and to follow the quick, subtle methods by which he had disentangled the most inextricable mysteries. So accustomed was I to his invariable success that the very possibility of his failing had ceased to enter into my head. It was close upon four before the door opened and a drunken-looking groom, ill-camped and sight-whiskered with an inflamed face and disreputable clothes, walked into the room. Accustomed, as I was to my friend's amazing powers and the use of disguises, I had to look three times before I was certain that it was indeed he. With an odd he vanished into the bedroom. Whence he emerged in five minutes, tweed-suited and respectable, as of old, putting his hands into his pockets, he stretched out his legs in front of the fire and laughed heartily for some minutes. Well, really, he cried and then choked and laughed again until he was obliged to lie back, limp, and helpless in the chair. What is it? It's quite too funny. I am sure you could never guess how I employed my morning or what I ended by doing. I can't imagine. I suppose that you have been watching the habits and perhaps the house of Miss Irene Adler. Quite so, but the sequel was rather unusual. I will tell you, however. I left the house a little after eight o'clock this morning in the character of a groom out of work. There is a wonderful sympathy and freemasonry among horsey men. Be one of them, and you will know all that there is to know. I soon found Beyond Elodge. It is a Baiju villa, with a garden at the back, but built out in front right up to the road, two storeys, chub-blocked to the door, large sitting-room on the right side, well furnished with long windows almost to the floor, and those preposterous English window fasteners which a child could open. Behind there was nothing remarkable. I believe that the passage-window could be reached from the top of the coach-house. I walked round it and examined it closely from every point of view, but without noting anything else of interest. I then lounged down the street and found, as I expected, that there was a muse in a lane which runs down by one wall of the garden. I lent the Oslers a hand in rubbing down their horses, and received an exchange-tupence, a glass of half-and-half, two fills of shagged tobacco, and as much information as I could desire about Miss Adler to say nothing of half a dozen other people in the neighborhood in whom I was not in the least interested, but whose biographies I was compelled to listen to. And what of Irene Adler, I asked? Oh, she has turned all the men's heads down in that part. She is the daintiest thing under a bonnet on this planet. So say the serpentine muse to a man. She lives quietly, sings at concerts, drives out at five every day, and returns at seven sharp for dinner. Seldom goes out at other times, except when she sings, as only one male visitor, but a good deal of him. He is dark, handsome, and dashing. Never calls less than once a day, and often twice. He is a Mr. Godfrey Norton of the inner temple. See the advantages of a cab man as a confidant? They had driven him home a dozen times from serpentine muse and knew all about him. When I had listened to all they had to tell, I began to walk up and down near Breone Lodge once more and to think over my plan of campaign. This Godfrey Norton was evidently an important factor in the matter. He was a lawyer. That sounded ominous. What was the relation between them and what the object of his repeated visits? Was she his client, his friend, or his mistress? If the former, she had probably transferred the photograph to his keeping. If the latter it was less likely. On the issue of this question depended whether I should continue my work at Breone Lodge or turn my attention to the gentlemen's chambers in the temple. It was a delicate point and it widened the field of my inquiry. I fear that I bore you with these details, but I have to let you see my little difficulties if you are to understand the situation. I am following you closely," I answered. I was still balancing the matter in my mind when a handsome cab drove up to Breone Lodge and a gentleman sprang out. He was a remarkably handsome man, dark, aquiline, and mustache. Evidently the man of whom I had heard. He appeared to be in a great hurry, shouted to the cab man to wait, and brushed past the maid who opened the door with the arrow of a man who was thoroughly at home. He was in the house about half an hour and I could catch glimpses of him in the windows of the sitting-room, pacing up and down, talking excitedly, and waving his arms. Of her I could see nothing. Presently he emerged, looking even more flurry than before. As he stepped up to the cab he pulled a gold watch from his pocket and looked at it earnestly. Drive like the devil, he shouted, first to Gross and Hanky's in Regent Street and then to the church at St. Monica in the edgeware road, half a guinea if you do it in twenty minutes. Away they went and I was just wondering whether I should not dwell to follow them when up the lane came a neat little landow, the coachman with his coat only half buttoned, and his tie under his ear, while all the tags of his harness were sticking out of the buckle. I hadn't pulled up before she shot out of the hall door and into it. I only caught a glimpse of her at the moment, but she was a lovely woman with a face that a man might die for. The church at St. Monica John, she cried, and half a sovereign if you reach it in twenty minutes. This was quite too good to lose, Watson. I was just balancing whether I should run for it or whether I should perch behind her landow when a cab came through the street. The driver looked twice at such a shabby fare, but I jumped in before he could object. The church at St. Monica, said I, and half a sovereign if you reach it in twenty minutes. It was twenty-five minutes to twelve, and of course it was clear enough what was in the wind. My cabbie drove fast. I don't think I ever drove faster, but the others were there before us. The cab and the landow with their steaming horses were in front of the door when I arrived. I paid the man and hurried into the church. There was not a soul there, say the two whom I had followed and a surpliced clergyman, who seemed to be expostulating with them.  I lounged up the side aisle like any other idler who has dropped into a church. Suddenly, to my surprise, the three at the altar faced round to me, and Godfrey Norton came running as hard as he could towards me. Thank goodness, he cried. You'll do. Come, come. What then? I asked. Come, man, come. Only three minutes or it won't be legal. I was half dragged up to the altar, and before I knew where I was I found myself mumbling responses which were whispered in my ear and a vouching for things of which I knew nothing, and generally assisting in the secure tying up the madler, spinster, to Godfrey Norton, bachelor. It was all done in an instant, and there was the gentleman thanking me on the one side and the lady on the other, while the clergyman beamed on me in front. It was the most preposterous position in which I ever found myself in my life, and it was the thought of it that started me laughing just now. It seems that there had been some informality about their license, and the clergyman absolutely refused to marry them without a witness of some sort, and that my lucky appearance saved the bridegroom from having to sally out into the streets in search of a best man. The bride gave me a sovereign, and I mean to wear it on my watch chain in memory of the occasion. This is a very unexpected turn of affairs, said I, and what then? Well, I found my plans very seriously menaced. It looked as if the pair might take an immediate departure, and so necessitate very prompt and energetic measures on my part. At the church door, however, they separated, he driving back to the temple, and she to her own house. I shall drive out in the park at five as usual, she said, as she left him. I heard no more. They drove away in different directions, and I went off to make my own arrangements. Which are some cold beef and a glass of beer, he answered, ringing the bell. I have been too busy to think of food, and I am likely to be busier still this evening. By the way, doctor, I shall want your cooperation. I shall be delighted. You don't mind breaking the law? Not in the least. You're running a chance of arrest, not in a good cause. Oh, the cause is excellent, that I am your man. I was sure that I might rely on you. But what is it you wish? When Mrs. Turner has brought in the tray, I will make it clear to you. Now, he said, as he turned hungrily on the simple fare that our landlady had provided, I must discuss it while I eat, for I have not much time. It is nearly five now. In two hours we must be on the scene of action. Irene, or Madame, rather, returns from her drive at seven. We must be at Breone Lodge to meet her. And what then? You must leave that to me. I have already arranged what is to occur. There is only one point on which I must insist. You must not interfere. Come what may.  I am to be neutral. To do nothing whatever. There will probably be some small and pleasantness. Do not join in. It will end in my being conveyed into the house. Four or five minutes afterwards the sitting-room window will open. You are to station yourself close to that open window. Yes? You are to watch me, for I will be visible to you. Yes? And when I raise my hand, so, you will throw into the room what I give you to throw, and will at the same time raise the cry of fire. You quite follow me? Entirely. It is nothing very formidable, he said, taking a long cigar-shaped roll from his pocket. It is an ordinary plumber's smoke-rocket, fitted with a cap at either end to make it self-lighting. Your task is confined to that. When you raise your cry of fire, it will be taken up by quite a number of people. You may then walk to the end of the street, and I will rejoin you in ten minutes. I hope that I have made myself clear. I am to remain neutral, to get near the window, to watch you, and at the signal to throw in this object, then to raise the cry of fire, and to wait you at the corner of the street, precisely. Then you may entirely rely on me. That is excellent. I think perhaps it is almost time that I prepare for the new role I have to play. He disappeared into his bedroom, and returned in a few minutes in the character of an amiable and simple-minded, non-conformist clergyman. His broad black hat, his baggy trousers, his white tie, his sympathetic smile, and general look of peering and benevolent curiosity were such as Mr. John Hare alone could have equaled. It was not merely that Holmes changed his costume. His expression, his manner, his very soul seemed to vary with every fresh part that he assumed. The stage lost a fine actor, even as science lost an acute reasoner when he became a specialist in crime. It was a quarter past six when we left Baker Street, and it still wanted ten minutes to the hour when we found ourselves in Serpentine Avenue. It was already dusk, and the lamps were just being lighted as we paced up and down in front of Breone Lodge, waiting for the coming of its occupant. The house was just such as I had pictured it from Sherlock Holmes succinct description, but the locality appeared to be less private than I expected. On the contrary, for a small street in a quiet neighborhood, it was remarkably animated. There was a group of shabbily dressed men smoking and laughing in a corner, a scissors grinder with its wheel, two guardsmen who were flirting with a nurse girl, and several well-dressed young men who were lounging up and down with cigars in their mouths. You see, remarked Holmes, as we paced to and fro in front of the house, this marriage rather simplifies matters. The photograph becomes a double-edged weapon now. The chances are that she would be as averse to its being seen by Mr. Godfrey Norton as our client is to its coming to the eyes of his princess. Now the question is, where are we to find the photograph? Where, indeed. It is most unlikely that she carries it about with her. It is cabinet-size. Too large for easy concealment about a woman's dress. She knows that the king is capable of having her way laid and searched. Two attempts of the sort have already been made. We may take it then that she does not carry it about with her. Where, then?  There is that double possibility. But I am inclined to think neither. Women are naturally secretive, and they like to do their own secreting. Why should she hand it over to any one else? She could trust her own guardianship, but she could not tell what indirect or political influence might be brought to bear upon a business man. Besides, remember that she had resolved to use it within a few days. It must be where she can lay her hands upon it. It must be in her own house. But it has twice been burgled. Shaw! They did not know how to look. But how will you look? I will not look. What then? I will get her to show me. But she will refuse. She will not be able to. But I hear the rumble of wheels. It is her carriage. Now carry out my orders to the letter. As he spoke, the gleam of the side lights of a carriage came round the curve of the avenue. It was a smart little landow which rattled up to the door of Breone Lodge. As it pulled up one of the loafing men at the corner dashed forward to open the door in the hope of earning a copper, but was elbowed away by another loafer who had rushed up with the same intention. A fierce quarrel broke out which was increased by the two guardsmen who took sides with one of the loungers and by the silvers grinder who was equally hot upon the other side. A blow was struck, and in an instant the lady who had stepped from her carriage was the center of a little knot of flushed and struggling men who struck savagely at each other with their fists and sticks. Holmes dashed into the crowd to protect the lady, but just as he reached her he gave a cry and dropped to the ground with the blood running freely down his face. At his fall the guardsmen took to their heels in one direction and the loungers in the other while a number of better-dressed people who had watched the scuffle without taking part in it crowded in to help the lady and to attend to the injured man. Irene Adler, as I will still call her, had hurried up the steps, but she stood at the top with her superb figure outlined against the lights of the hall, looking back into the street. "'Is the poor gentleman much hurt?' she asked. "'He is dead,' cried several voices. "'No, no, there's life in him,' shouted another. "'But he'll be gone before we can get him to hospital. "'He's a brave fellow,' said a woman. "'They would have had the lady's purse "'and watch if it hadn't been for him. "'They were a gang and a rough one, too. "'Ah, he's breathing now. "'He can't lie on the street. "'May we bring him in, Barm?' "'Surely, bring him into the sitting-room. "'There is a comfortable sofa. "'This way, please.' Slowly and solemnly he was born into Breone Lodge and laid out in the principal room, while I still observed the proceedings from my post by the window. The lamps had been lit, but the blinds had not been drawn, so that I could see homes as they lay upon the couch. I do not know whether he was seized with compunction at that moment for the part he was playing, but I know that I never felt more heartily ashamed of myself in my life than when I saw the beautiful creature against whom I was conspiring, or the grace and kindliness with which she waited upon the injured man, and yet it would be the blackest treachery to Holmes to draw back now from the part which he had entrusted to me. I hardened my heart and took the smoke-rocket from under my ulster. After all, I thought we are not injuring her. We are but preventing her from injuring another. Holmes had sat up upon the couch, and I saw him motion like a man who was in need of air. A maid rushed across and threw open the window. At the same instant I saw him raise his hand, and at the signal I tossed my rocket into the room with a cry of fire. The word was no sooner out of my mouth than the whole crowd of spectators well-dressed and ill. Gentlemen, oslars, and servant-maids joined in a general streak of fire. Thick clouds of smoke curled through the room and out at the open window. I caught a glimpse of rushing figures, and a moment later the voice of Holmes from within assuring them that it was a false alarm. Slipping through the shouting crowd I made my way to the corner of the street, and in ten minutes was rejoiced to find my friend's arm in mine, and to get away from the scene of uproar. He walked swiftly and in silence for some few minutes until we had turned down one of the quiet streets which led towards the edge where rode. You did it very nicely, doctor, he remarked. Nothing could have been better. It is all right. You have the photograph? I know where it is, and how did you find out? She showed me as I told you she would. I am still in the dark. I do not wish to make a mystery," said he, laughing. The matter was perfectly simple. You, of course, saw that everyone in the street was an accomplice. They were all engaged for the evening. I gassed as much. Then when the row broke out I had a little moist red paint in the palm of my hand. I rushed forward, fell down, clapped my hand to my face, and became a piteous spectacle. It is an old trick that also I could fathom. Then they carried me in. She was bound to have me in. What else could she do? And into her sitting-room, which was the very room which I suspected. It lay between that and her bedroom, and I was determined to see which. They laid me on a couch. I motioned for air. I compelled to open the window, and you had your chance. How did that help you? It was all important. When a woman thinks that her house is on fire, her instinct is at once to rush to the thing which she values most. It is a perfectly overpowering impulse, and I have more than once taken advantage of it. In the case of the Darlington substitution scandal it was a views to me, and also in the Ornsworth castle business. A married woman grabs at her baby, an unmarried one reaches for her jewel box. Now it was clear to me that our lady of today had nothing in the house more precious to her than what we are in quest of. She would rush to secure it. The alarm of fire was admirably done. The smoke and shouting were enough to shake nerves of steel. She responded beautifully. The photograph is in a recess behind a sliding panel just above the right bell-pole. She was there in an instant, and I caught a glimpse of it as she half drew it out. When I cried out that it was a false alarm, she replaced it, glanced at the rocket, rushed from the room, and I have not seen her since. I rose and, making my excuses, escaped from the house. I hesitated whether to attempt to secure the photograph at once, but the coachman had come in, and as he was watching me narrowly it seemed safer to wait. A little over precipitance may ruin all, and now I asked, our quest is practically finished. I shall call with the king to-morrow and with you if you care to come with us. We will be shown into the sitting-room to wait for the lady, but it is probable that when she comes she may find neither us nor the photograph. It might be a satisfaction to His Majesty to regain it with his own hand. And when would you call? At eight in the morning. She will not be up, so that we shall have a clear field. Besides, we must be prompt, for this marriage may mean a complete change in her life and habits. I must wire to the king without delay. We had reached Baker Street and had stopped at the door. He was searching his pockets for the key when someone passing said, Good night, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. There were several people on the pavement at the time, but a greeting appeared to come from a slim youth in an ulster who had hurried by. I've heard that voice before, said Holmes staring down the dimly lit street. Now I wonder who the deuce that could have been. I slept at Baker Street that night, and we were engaged upon our toast and coffee in the morning when the king of Bohemia rushed into the room. You have really got it, he cried, grasping Sherlock Holmes by either shoulder and looking eagerly into his face. Not yet, but you have hopes? I have hopes. Then come, I am all impatient to be gone. We must have a cab. No, my brougham is waiting. Then that will simplify matters. We descended and started off once more for Briani Lodge. I renat...


Hey Psych2Goers, do you struggle to build deeper connections with others? Are you looking for ways to connect with people beyond the surface level? Today's video is sponsored by So Synced, a place that can match partners' personality types based on the 16 personalities model. You can access it by clicking the link below. Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video. Do you feel that your personality type is INFJ? The INFJ personality type stands for introversion, intuition, feeling, and judging. It's the rarest personality type and makes up only 1% of the total population. Because of this, INFJs usually feel like they're misunderstood by other personality types. Therefore, this video will be addressing 6 things only INFJs understand. 1. INFJs Always Care Do you find that you always care about those around you who need help? You will always care for people, to the point where you're willing to risk your own well-being in the process because of INFJ's strong sense of personal integrity and drive to help others. As such, you will frequently find yourself in situations where you choose to help others while sacrificing or neglecting something that you want to do.  However, people may take advantage of this personality trait and make you sacrifice yourself to satisfy their needs and wants. 2. Feeling Lonely In A Group Do you feel lonelier when you're with other people than when you're by yourself? This may sound contradictory, but it's one of the things that only INFJs will understand. Of course, it's important to understand the difference between lonely and alone. INFJs are known to be extremely intuitive and comfortable when they're alone because they're constantly self-reflecting. However, the same intuitive ability is what can make you constantly feel misunderstood, especially if you yourself cannot explain how you know something. This feeling of being misunderstood all the time when you're with a group of people is what makes you feel lonely in a group. 3. Self Sabotage Do you have the tendency to overthink things so much that you end up spoiling a happy moment? INFJs have the tendency to always dig deep past the surface level of things. This tendency can ruin happy moments for you since you'll often think that for every good thing, there should be something bad. This train of thought will eventually lead you to put down your own success and accomplishments. And the worst thing is that even the simplest and most innocent thoughts can spiral out of control and become a huge obstacle in the way of your happiness. We talked about the importance of your potential partner being attentive and remembering the little things, which is why SoSync could be the right app for you. They pair couples who have the right amount of similarities to get each other and just the right amount of differences to create that spark for deeper, meaningful dating. Upon taking the personality test, you discover your personality, such as INFJ, so thoughtful, or ENFP, so curious. Once you've mutually liked each other, you can start messaging. Here are what some people using the app have said. Lily, INFJ, said, I didn't expect to find love so fast. Our personality types will be tattooed on me somewhere. And Indy, ENFJ, said, matching people using personality types is such a simple and powerful concept. SoSync helped us find love. Even in this difficult time, you've really changed our lives. In fact, we're now married. Thank you. Make sure you check out the app in the description box below for more details. We encourage you to try it out and give yourself a chance to find deeper love. Number four, easily getting emotionally drained by others. How often do other people's feelings or emotions affect you? Because of your keen intuition and inner senses, you will often be very quick to pick up on the emotions and feelings of others. And end up adopting these emotions yourself. This personality trait makes you, as an INFJ, a very powerful counselor and advocate. Since you can easily understand and empathize with what other people are thinking. At the same time, though, this can be emotionally draining for you. Because of the huge amount of emotional stimulus you are processing, especially when you're hosting strong contrasting emotions. Number five, rarely opening up or feeling like you've revealed too much. How often do you express your feelings to other people? Well, due to the introvert trait that many INFJ types have, you tend to be very reserved when it comes to expressing your opinions and feelings. Additionally, you're used to being the one helping others out, so you try not to look vulnerable. Rather than opening up whenever you feel anger or frustration, you prefer to retreat from social contact and solve everything by yourself. However, once someone gets you to open up, you will suddenly feel like saying everything going on in your mind, and end up apologizing because you think that you're burdening them with your problems. And number six, inner guilt. Do you constantly go over a situation where you think you could have said something different? This is most likely due to the inner guilt that you, as an INFJ, constantly feel. When you send a message to your friends, your mind automatically makes you think that you're somehow bothering them. Or when you do something that you wanted to do, you might start feeling guilty because it meant that you didn't do something others wanted you to do. Even a brief conversation can leave you wondering if what you said was right. Whatever the situation is, there is always something in your mind that makes you feel guilty. Did you relate to and understand these signs? If you are an INFJ, you might constantly feel lonely and misunderstood because there aren't many others that can relate to these thoughts and feelings. But remember that you aren't alone. There's likely someone out there that can relate to the same struggles.

The heavens may fall rj barrett for the nicks derrick leo Speaking of narcos. Do you have to watch the original to know about narcos, mexico? No You don't there are there is a character that overlaps but But it almost there are a couple characters that overlap But no, you don't have to it's very It's very interesting and I think it just kind of highlights the Continuing struggle with this so-called war on drugs is pretty difficult To battle We got a ja marant right here on top. That's nice Chinese new year revolution but narcos is quite good if you're interested in in uh, south american politics and the impact of the drug tray on this hemisphere I think people will find narcos and narcos mexico very interesante and if you want to Try to brush up on your espanol You can watch without subtitles and see if you could follow and follow it Which you can't and then you just have to turn it on and Half listen and half watch the subtitles Which is better? I think the New year mafondo I I think the original two or three seasons of narcos based in columbia is better I think there's a little more narrative and it just doesn't follow um Just doesn't follow the pablo escobar cartel, but it also found follows like the Cali cart. I think he was medellin Pablo escobar and then it also follows tracks the the big wigs and the Cali cartel as well. So there's a bit more compelling storylines the the uh The narcos mexico storyline follows um felix miguel guillardo, I think Miguel and hel felix guillardo. So miguel felix Um, which just tracks him and it's really just there's brook lopez new year Which tracks him mostly over the two seasons, but it's a little frustrating because it's just like It's very formulaic.  All there's the gold Nice marcos all raptors two out of eight zack paul One that's bought in chronicles nine. I think the first one I've seen in person Out of this chinese new year version. There's lebron james new year Which is pretty nice as well But yeah, I mean I I think Miguel felix is still still in jail at the moment and His idea was hey if if i'm the if i'm the godfather if you will um If i'm the el padrino then There wouldn't be all these all this violence and problems and when after he was caught basically there was a huge uptick in violence there was a point where when where like They just traveled to tijuana was just I mean, I think you can still kind of go now, but But there there was a point in time where they were telling uc sandio students just don't even go down there anymore because of all the all the infighting that was happening so In a way, I mean we're talking about criminals here, you know bad people but In a way, he was right if there was just one person running everything Then there would be There'd be less problems. I I suppose That was his sort of so-called his criminal Vision, right? But it didn't now everybody's fighting and then that's a big issue Yeah, clear and present danger is a good is a good cartel movie too That's a good one. I mean you watch all these movies. There's there's just like so many So many layers of of how we screwed up policy as the as americans down in there Level of corruption that's there You know all that sort of stuff. It's really fascinating From a from a historical Perspective it's a living history. It's still happening to 149 Lonnie Walker relic Narcos great show though if you want to get a primer on On that nice mo bomba relic and autograph 25 ink and leather piece of the piece of the basketball And his autograph And the the absolute encased card is a encased elliakobu autograph And as for Ozarks McCarthy, I've I've not gotten into that yet. How many seasons has Ozark gone? To 149 I like television shows that have very short seasons. I want more like I feel like dramas mini series like Korea and japan or korea and japan. I think mexico they do a lot of these mini series There's red u jackson. So like you just Watch a handful of seasons and then it's done and then you don't have to but like lost is like a million seasons You know friends is a million seasons red u jackson goes to the pistons.
