Sherlock Holmes
By. Jasmine Hong
I like detective stories very much. Between these books, I like the Sherlock Holmes the most. This book shows us 6 cases which Sherlock Holmes saw. I will introduce the case of the speckled band.
Dr. Grimesby Roylott is a very violent stepfather of Julia and Helen Stoner. Helen had come to Sherlock Holmes to talk about her twin sister who had just been engaged, Julia’s death which happened two years ago.. That night, Helen could not sleep, and she lay awake for hours. Suddenly, she heard Julia scream. At that moment, Helen heard a quiet whistle, followed by a loud clanging sound. Julia said to Helen about a speckled band, which Helen thought was just a band of people.
Two days ago, Helen also got engaged, and because of repairs, Helen had to sleep in her sister’s bedroom. Last night, Helen heard the whistle she heard two years ago.
Holmes and Watson went to Helen’s house, and discovered that a bell rope that doesn’t ring a bell and an air ventilator was put in at the same time. Holmes made Helen sleep in her own room, and he and Watson stayed in Julia’s room. This was the end of the case. Helen’s stepfather didn’t want to give money to his daughters and tried to kill them with a deadly snake called a Swamp Adder.
I think the stepfather is a very bad person, and it was fortunate that Helen asked for help to Holmes.
