More About The Adventure of the Priory School
Now, Watson," said he, "we have picked up two clues this morning. One is the bicycle with the Palmer tyre, and we see what that has led to. The other is the bicycle with the patched Dunlop. Before we start to investigate that, let us try to realize what we do know, so as to make the most of it, and to separate the essential from the accidental. Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adventure of the Priory School
I have mixed feelings about this short story. The characters are great, especially Holmes. The mystery is intriguing and challenging, with red herrings aplenty. The story is entertaining and engagingly told. But once the facts are revealed, they strain credulity a bit--the mastermind's scheme apparently relied upon the sentimental unwillingness... Nice story, but less engaging, yet the end was the most unpredictable.There were point of the story that had never been transcribed by, Arthur, like natural death of the teacher, and the surprising end of the relation of the Duke.Over and above everyone will certainly like it not only because of, Sherlock, but also because of and unpredictable... The ending was really unpredictable! I never would have guessed it. I liked how even Sherlock Holmes could not figure everything out, although he had solved most of it.
