Sherlock Holmes His Last Bow: The Adventure of the Dying Detective & The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax (p1096-1123)

In The Adventure of the Dying Detective, Holmes was dying of a rare Asian disease that he got at a case in Rotherhithe and Watson had just found out. When Watson visited him, Holmes told him to to go near him because he is contagious and to not get anyone to help him until he names that person at 6. At 6 Holmes told Watson to get Mr. Culvertion Smith. While he is leaving Watson also meets Inspector Morton and tells him what happened. So, when Watson went to Smith, he refused to go, but eventually he persuaded him and brought him to Holmes' apartment. Before he ended up in Holmes' room, Holmes told Watson to hide and listen to what happens. He was very harsh with Holmes and admitted that he had killed his nephew with the same disease. He also talked about the ivory box he sent Holmes with the disease in it. Then Holmes asked him to turn the gas on his lantern to full and when that happened, that signal called Inspector Morton to come in and he ended up arresting Smith. After that Watson went out of hiding. At the end Holmes was not really dying at all and Watson found out that it was all a plan to get Smith to confess to the murder he committed.

In The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax, Holmes told Watson to go to Lausanne to see why Lady Frances Carfax disappeared. When he went, Watson found out that she stayed at a Hotel for a couple of weeks and then left in a hurry. One witness said that there was a bearded man was bugging her and her maid quit. Later, Watson found out that she went to Germany to meet the Schlessinger's but when he got there he found that they had left three weeks before and that the bearded mad was also looking for her. So, Watson telegraphed Holmes about the case, and he wrote back asking about Mr. Schlessinger's left ear. After that, Watson went to France to see Miss. Carfax's former maid and found out that her wedding is why she quit. While they were talking, she pointed out the bearded man on the street and Watson was almost killed if it wasn't for a workman who broke up the fight between them. Then Watson found out that the workman was really Holmes and told him to go back to London with him. But before they left, Holmes found out that the bearded man (aka Philip Green) was looking to Miss Carfax to marry her. When they were in London again, Holmes believed that Miss Carfax was dead or jailed. After some investigating Holmes found out that Mr. Schlessinger had an old dead woman in a coffin in his home who is not Miss Carfax but his wife's nurse and the police had him go back home. The next day, Holmes went back and unscrewed the coffin lid and found Miss Carfax chloroformed because they wanted to steal her jewels. When they woke her up, the Schlessinger's had ran away.

Sherlock Holmes His Last Bow: The Adventure of the Red Circle & The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans (p.1059-1096)

In The Adventure of the Red Circle, a woman named Mrs. Warren went to Holmes with some questions about her lodger. He offered double her usual so she wouldn't ask questions and have his own rules. On the first night, he went home at 12 and they haven't seen him since. From the cigarette and matches Mrs. Warren brought Holmes, he found out that the lodger eats very little and doesn't receive messages or visitors. When Mrs. Warren ended up leaving, Holmes also said that this man does not want anyone to see him. He also believed that messages were being sent to the man through the paper and found where. After some time, Holmes had enough information to go the Mrs. Warren but before he did, she ended up going to his apartment saying that her husband was kidnapped and taken to Hampstead Heath and thrown on the road without knowing who did it. Holmes' explanation was that they confused her husband with the lodger but they found out soon. When Holmes does go to Mrs. Warren's house, he found that the lodger's house window was pointing at Howe Street. When Mrs Warren was getting the lodger lunch, Holmes then found out that it was a woman. Holmes also found that her and her lover were hiding from danger and looking for help because it was life or death. Later, Holmes and Watson were looking at signals the lodger was making with a lantern behind the window that said beware and danger. When they found that the signal was stopped, they ran to the house and found that Inspector Gregson and a US detective were there. They were there to get a killer whom was inside of the building. So, they went into the house and found the man killed in a fight. The woman was named Emilia Lucca and the killer was her husband. She was happy that he had died.

In The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans, Holmes' brother Mycroft showed up again and came to talk about missing submarine plans. Seven out of the ten pages were found with Arthur Cadogan but three were still missing. When the seven pages were found, Arthur was dead at underground tracks with his head crushed. When Holmes observed the tracks, he found out that Arthur was killed somewhere else. Later, he went to the man who was supposed to be in charge of the papers, Sir James Walter except found out that he had died too. His fiancee said that he was worried about something for the past week and was worried the secret would get out. Later, Holmes went to the office and Sidney said that he put the papers away himself in a safe. On his way back home, Holmes found another person named Hugo Oberstein because he left town when Arthur died. So, Holmes and Watson went to his house and found blood stains and smudged grime on the windows. Then they tried to get the thief to come, so they posted a code in the paper that he uses and he did end up coming. Colonel Valentine showed up and confessed to the plans but said that Oberstein killed Arthur.

Sherlock Holmes His Last Bow: The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge: Part 2 The Tiger of San Pedro & The Adventure of the Cardboard Box (p1031-1059)

In The Tiger of San Pedro, Watson and Holmes went to Wisteria Lodge with inspector Baynes and found out that the constable that was guarding the house saw a man that intruded and when he saw him, he chased him but the man got away. When they went inside the house, Holmes said that voodoo actions were happening. Later, while he was reading the newspaper, Holmes found out that Inspector Baynes arrested Garcia's cook, whom was also the man that intruded. Holmes did not agree that he was the murderer but Baynes didn't care. Later, Holmes became interested in the Henderson's. No one knew where they came from and they were rich while the husband was scared of something. Holmes also thought that the note from part 1 came from him and that Miss Burnet was the writer. After that, they found out that the Hendersons had left and tried to take Miss Burnet along. When she refused Mr. Henderson drugged her with opium. At the end, Holmes found out that Henerson was Inspector Baynes all along and also the Tiger of San Pedro. Miss Burnet was also proved to go along with the murder. So they ended up showing up in Madrid under new names and were murdered with the killers not caught.

In The Adventure of the Cardboard Box, an old woman named Miss Susan Cushing got a letter with two human ears in salt. So, Inspector Lesterade thought it was a prank by some medical students whom she evicted. But Holmes thought that an actual crime happened and said that the senders were looking for a sailing man. After some asking around and searching, Holmes found that the ears belong to Miss Cushing's dead sister and her husband. He also found out that the letter was supposed to go to Miss Cushing's other sister. It was supposed to go to her because of her husband Jim Browner. He is a sailor and Holmes got Lestrade to go and arrest him when his ship went to port.

My gallery response.

Loren Lau's "Gate" exhibits creative and extraterrestrial peak which promotes an imaginative feeling of the solar system from a different point of view. Lau created her image using the uncommon technique of spray paint. The positioning and sizes of the planets creates an idea of how small we as humans really are. The rocky arch acts as a window that allows the viewer to wonder what is really on the other side. Loren's vivid and colorful creativity attempts to stand out of the pieces of art around it. It is the piece de resistance of the gallery and should have been more recognized.

Sherlock Holmes His Last Bow: Part 1 The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge:The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles (p1019-1030)

This book is one of Doyle's short story books. Part one begins with a man named John Scott Eccles who went to Holmes' apartment to discuss something. But when he showed up, so did Inspector Gregson and Inspector Baynes. They wanted a statement from Eccles because a man who was killed the night before had a note saying that Eccles would be at his house. He had no idea that Garcia was killed and said that he was at his renting house and when he woke up, there were no servants or even Garcia in site. The last time he saw him was one o'clock the night before. Eccles also said that Garcia was being distracted by something and his mood became darker when a servant handed him a note. So, when he woke up the next day, he decided to leave and found out that his stay was payed for. Holmes deduced that Garcia set the clocks to get Eccles to sleep earlier so he thought it was one o'clock which was the time of Garcia's death. From all the information given, Holmes found out that the murderer lived next to Wisteria Lodge (where Eccles was staying) in a big house.

Sherlock Holmes The Valley of Fear Part 2 Epilogue (p1016-1018)

In the Epilogue a friend named Cecil Barker that Birdy made went to Holmes' apartment and told him that Birdy had been killed while they were going to South Africa. Barker had also gotten a telegram from Birdy's second wife that her husband has been lost overboard but nobody knew what happened. The Holmes said that he believed that Professor Moriarty had him killed and thats how part one and part two connected in this book.

I believe that Doyle wrote this book strangely and confused me a little wondering how and why he would write part two the way he did.....Well he is a Victorian Poet.........

Sherlock Holmes The Valley of Fear Part 2 The Scowerers Chapters 1-7 (p958-1016)

I am also going to summarize the entire Part 2 into one post because it is short. These chapters start in a train going to Vermissa Valley. Inside, a man named Mike Scanlan caught the attention of another person also riding who has a revolver. His name was John McMurdo and he was from Chicago and part of a "club" called the Eminent Order of Freemen. It was ironic that Mike was also part of that order. Later on the train, McMurdo argued with police men on the train and Scanlan told him to go and see Bodymaster McGinty at Jacob Shafter's boarding house once he reached town. At town, McMurdo fell in love with Jacob's daughter, Ettie Shafter but found out that she was already with another man of the "club". She also did love him back but was afraid what would happen if she broke her relationship with the other man named Ted Baldwin. After that, he went to the Bodymaster McGinty and said that he had made counterfeit money before he killed his partner and went to the coal mine region. McGinty liked what he heard and decided to keep him in the Order. Later, McGinty told Ettie that she could choose who she loved more because they were both from the same Order and McMurdo then did some criminal activities. When he returned he gave her a 6 month deadline to know the answer. After some time, the order got some intel that a detective agency was sending a man named Birdy Edwards to investigate their activities. So, McMurdo offered to lure him into his house while other members waited there. While they were waiting, McMurdo walked into his house and announced that he was Birdy and arrested them. Also, Ettie ended up getting married to him and they ran to California. People attempted to murder him several times but failed and soon his wife died of sickness. So, he went to England and married his second wife while asking Holmes what to do. Holmes' advice was to tell him to leave England

Sherlock Holmes The Valley of Fear Part 1 The Tragedy of Birlstone Chapters 4-7 (p922-958)

In chapters 4-7 Part 1 of this story is completed. I am summarizing all the chapters into the same paragraph because not as much happens in them and they are short. So, in these chapters, Holmes, Watson, and the inspector found a bloody footprint on the window still and from that they deduced that the killer had jumped through the window. The only problem was that they could not find anything outside the window or hear any stories about him. Later Holmes found out that one of John's dumbbells were missing which could mean that the murder took it. But Holmes had a hunch that it was in a moat next to the building and fished until he found it. He also discovered that it was weighing down clothes. So, he put everything back where it was and told Douglas' butler Barker that he was draining the moat for evidence and hid the rest of the night to find that he had taken the clothes. Then McDonald accused him of the murder but Mrs Douglas stopped him and pressed a button to open the fireplace. Behind that fireplace another man named John Douglas. He explained that he was part of a gang and they had the same brand which made them look so similar. He said that a man named Ted Baldwin was trying to kill him and they struggled until Baldwin accidently shot himself in the face. Barker was involved because Douglas needed his help to put his clothes on Baldwin to make it seem like he is dead and the clothes in the moat were Ted's.

Sherlock Holmes The Valley of Fear Part 1 The Tragedy of Birlstone Chapters 1-3 (p900-921)

In chapters 1-3, Holmes got a letter form an informant who's name is Fred Porlock. He is part of a criminal organisation and wrote the letter in numeric code. So, Holmes decoded it and it said that a man named John Douglas was about to be murdered. Then they contacted inspector MacDonald of Scotland Yard and he was amazed when he saw the letter because John Douglas had just been killed in Sussex. After that, MacDonald wanted to know who the man was that predicted the crime but Holmes did not know. All he does know is that he works for Professor Moriarty. So, all three of them decided to go to Sussex, meet inspector White Mason, and begin the investigation. Before the murder, the house had at least five people in it. There is also a moat around the house that is 2-3 feet deep. The body was very strange. He had a strange band on his hand with a circle and triangle inside it. He was shot in the head at close range and his wedding ring was missing. There was also a card next to his body that said VV 341?

The Hound of the Baskervilles Chapters 14-15 (p884-899)

In chapter 14 (The Hound of the Baskervilles), Watson and Holmes went quietly without being seen to Merripit House with Sir Henry and Mr. Stapleton there talking over coffee. Then Mr. Stapleton went to an outhouse and Sir Henry started walking home in the fog. Then Holmes and Watson heard the Hound but did not see it until it got out of the mist. When they did see it, it was a huge fire breathing beast which was described by the myth. So they shot it and it collapsed. They found out that the animal was a bloodhound-mastiff mix as big as a lion and covered with phosphorous so it would glow. Then they went back to the house and saw that Mrs. Stapleton was tied and gagged. When she woke up she told Holmes where her husband's hiding place was. But because the fog was too thick they just headed back to Baskerville Hall with Sir Henry. The next day they went to the spot but could not find Stapleton but they did find where he kept the hound and the phosphorous that scared Sir Charles to death.

In chapter 15 (A Retrospection), Holmes and Watson went back to London and retold what had happened to Henry and Mortimer. After being told, they decided to go on vacation to calm their nerves.

Tuesday Action List

Pharell Williams' Home's white balcony and manikin filled rooms introduce a complexity of unusual and 'rich' desires. His enormous mansion and unusual piano suggests a free willed life. The aqueous pool and diversified plants expresses Williams' pleasant architectural taste. The uniquely curved wooden stairs also creates an attractive feeling for it. The large 'Family Guy' pictures hanged on the wall implies his taste for Seth MacFarlane's work. Pharell's showing of the miniature sized red chair with a shape of human feet as the legs depicts a disturbing thought for the purchaser's imagination. His sticker infested suitcase reveals his taste for travel and exploration.

The Hound of the Baskervilles Chapters 10-13 (p851-884)

In chapter 10 (Extract from the Diary of Dr. Watson), Watson was wondering about the Hound and where it would live. Later Sir Henry was arguing with Barrymore about his brother Selden' crimes. But Barrymore said that he will not commit anymore crimes and will leave as soon as the first ship for South America came. So, Henry and Watson agreed and Barrymore told Watson that before he died, Sir Charles went to the gate to meet a woman and his wife discovered a letter with the initials LL about a late night meeting.

In chapter 11 (The Man on the Tor), Watson left Henry and went to go meet Laura Lyon (LL) and she admitted that Sir Charles supported her with money and that she wrote to him once or twice. When Watson wanted to know more she said that she wasn't very involved with him and that Stapleton told them about each other. She also said that the letter was for Sir Charles to get her out of a bad marriage and that she had got help from someone else now. So when Watson was going home he saw Mr Frankland and they had wine together. But while they were drinking, they saw a boy at the moor. So Watson left and tried to follow him and found his hut with a note that said that he had gone to Coombe Tracey. Then he heard footsteps around him and someone greeted him.

In chapter 12 (Death on the Moor) and chapter 13 (Fixing the Nets) Watson recognized the voice and quickly found out that it was Holmes. What he was curious about is how he found the hut. So he sad that he saw Wastsons cigarette brand on the floor. Holmes later told Watson that after some investigation, he found out the Stapleton seduced Laura Lyons and used her to lure Charles onto the moor to die. So they visited Laura again but while going there, someone screamed on the moor and the convict was there with Barrymore's clothes and thats why he was killed by Stapleton's dog. Then Stapleton came and asked who it was and found out who it was and explained why he was there. Stapleton invited him to come over. At the end of the chapter, Stapleton went home and Holmes and Watson went home. On their way, they were talking about what to do with Stapleton because he clearly looked guilty but Holmes said to wait to arrest him because there was no good proof for his conviction. Holmes also had a plan and told Sir Henry to have his dinner with Stapleton and not invite them. Later they went to Laura Lyon's home and told her what happened. Then Laura told the truth of what really happened. Stapleton offered to marry her if she got her divorce and he wrote Lura a letter and told her to miss the appointment scheduled and told her to not tell anyone.

The Hound of the Baskervilles Chapters 7-9 (p823-851)

In chapter 7 (The Stapletons of Merripit House), its the next morning and Watson and Sir Henry were talking about the crying they heard the other night and when they were saying that the butler was acting different. Later Watson went to the Barrymore residence to see if his telegraph was delivered and found that it was. But on his walk back a man named Mr. Stapleton was carrying a butterfly net and went up to Watson to walk with him back. During the walk Stapleton was trying to get Watson to talk about the case but he refused. While walking they also saw a stretch of quicksand where something that was a man or beast was being sucked up. They also saw a pony in the sand. After that, they heard a moan and the locals thought that it was the Hound of Baskervilles. When that happened, Stapleton chased a butterfly and went away for a while while his sister came out of nowhere and the chapter ended with Watson being very confused.

In chapter 8 (First Report of Dr. Watson) and 9 (Second Report of Dr. Watson), Watson announced that he would start to tell the story in letter form to Holmes. In these letters he goes to meet with a man named Mr. Frankland. He was interested in astronomy and had a telescope. Later, while he was sleeping, Watson woke up from the sound of footsteps and eventually heard a key turning. He did not try to solve the mystery but only left it to Holmes to find out from the letters. Later Watson theorized that Barrymore was having a relationship with another woman other than his wife and that would explain his wife's crying. So he stayed and watched to see if he would commit the act again. On the second night of the stakeout, Watson followed Barrymore to his window and found out that the Barrymore's were both feeding and housing Ms Barrymore's brother who is a convict. So, when Watson and Sir Henry were going back home they saw a figure in the distance and then it quickly disapeared.
