The Speckled Band
'My name is Helen Stoner, "he began," and I live with my stepfather, Dr. Roylott Grimesby, "It's increasingly violent now, and has sometimes struggle with the townspeople. Everyone is afraid now, and flee when they see it. "When did he die?" asked Sherlock Holmes. He died two years ago, and that's why I'm here. I never met anybody in the country, but sometimes we have visited some of my relatives who live near London. There Julia met a young man who asked to marry her. "I was surprised." No, "I said. "Strange," he said. "Sometimes I hear a whistle, but do not know where it comes from. Why did not you hear?“ Are you sure about the whistle and the sound of metal falling? asked Holmes. "We must act quickly," Holmes said. "If we go to your house today, we can see these rooms? But her stepfather should not know."
A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA
"Well, he is a violent man. In India once got angry with her Indian servant and killed him! He had to go to jail for that, and then everything went back to England. Mother died in an accident eight years ago. So my stepfather have all your money, but if I marry or Julia, we should be paying ÂŁ 250 each year. " "And now lives with him in the country," Holmes said.-Yes, but stays at home and never see anyone, Mr. Holmes! Helen Stoner said. "It's increasingly violent now, and has sometimes struggle with the townspeople. Everyone is afraid now, and flee when they see it. And they are also afraid of their Indian wild animals freely running around the garden. A friend sends him in India. And animals are not the only ones in the wild garden, there are gypsies. My stepfather liked this savage people, and can come and go anywhere. Poor Julia and I had a life very unhappy. We had no servants. They were always because they were afraid of my stepfather, and we had to do all the housework. Julia was only thirty years old when he died, and his hair was already gray, like my hair now. Holmes left in the morning, but returned to lunch. Then we went by train to the city, and took a taxi to the house of Dr. Roylott. "You see," said Holmes-for me, "our friend Roylott dangerous girls need money because you only have ÂŁ 750 a year from his late wife.
The Five Orange Pips
In September 1887 my wife was visiting some relatives, so I was there with my old friend Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street. It was a windy night, storm and rain fell heavily outside. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Holmes stopped the young man for a minute. 'Tell me,' he said. "When did your uncle received a letter from India, and when he died? "The letter arrived on March 10, 1883, and died seven weeks later replied John Openshaw. 'Three days later, my poor father went to visit an old friend who lived a few miles away. But he never returned. Police said he was walking home in the dark when he fell from a hill. He was severely wounded and died shortly after. Decided it was an accident, but I do not remember. I thought it was murder, and I could not forget Five Orange Pips and strange letters to my uncle and my father. The young man showed us an envelope with K.K.K. In the back, and five seeds of small orange. "? You see 'he said." It comes from East London, and says: "Put the papers in the garden". Those are the words that were in the letter to my father. " Sherlock Holmes is a very smart detective, but can not do anything about the weather. Winter storms at sea that year were worse than ever, so never the star came to Georgia, and no one saw the captain and his men again. The murderers of John Openshaw did not receive the seeds, but in the end, death came to them .
