The story is about how Sherlock Holmes
works on the mysterious cases. The writer
wrote
the
story
of
Sherlock
Holmes
in
his
friend
’
s
friend
was
named
Watson.
Duke of Holderness was one
of the greatest and the richest men. But his
family was
not very happy. The Duchess
didn
’
t live with Duke. She
left Duke for Paris. However
his son
loved his mother and was very unhappy when his
mother left. Because of this,
the Duke
sent him to Dr Huxtable
’
s
school. But on the night of the 13th of May the
young Arthur disappeared. The Duke was
very worried. The Duke promised to offer
five thousand pounds for the news of
his son, and another one thousand pounds for
the name of his kidnapper.
Sherlock
Holmes
was
a
famous
detective
so
they
asked
Holmes
for
and Watson went to Dr
Huxtable’
s school. At the
same time they got the worse news
that
Heidgger, the German teacher was missing, too.
Holmes began to ask something
about the
boy and the German teacher. At last he determined
to
go off to the north
with
Dr Huxtable to find some answers to this mystery.
They
arrived
at
Dr
Huxtable
’
s
famous
school
in
the
northern
hills.
They
met
the
Duke. Holmes asked the
Duke something about the case. Then at once Holmes
began
to work carefully to investigate
the boy
’
s bedroom and the
German teacher
’
s room.
They
looked
at
the
ivy
on
the
wall
and
they
saw
the
footprints
under
the
German
teacher
’
s they
learned about nothing.
Holmes and Watson analysised the case
when Dr Huxtable brought the
boy
’
s hat.
Dr
Huxtable said that he found it at north of Ragged
Shaw,so they determined to walk
north,across the moor.
The
next day they moved slowly across the moor,
looking at
every centimeter of
mud. At last they found the track of a
bicycle. After assisting the track of a bicycle
Holmes knew the bicycle was not
Heidgger
’
s. Then he found
the right track. Suddenly
the track stopped. He found some blood.
Following the blood, he found much blood.
Behind a bush they saw a shoe and found
a body. But they still
couldn
’
t who is the
was
a
little
discouraged.
Holmes
said
every
mystery
had
an
answer.
They found tyre
again. However, the Palmer Tyre can tell them
nothing more, so they
must go back to
the Dunlop found the Dunlop track again and lost
it again.
They walked down to the
Chesterfiled road and along to the Green Man Inn.
Holmes
found something from
Hayes
’
s words, behaviors and
his horses when they arrived at
Hayes
’
s
house.
They
found
James
Wilder,
the
Duke
’
s
secretary
came
into
Hayes
’
s
house and Hayes escaped.
The next day the answers
were obvious. Holmes was surprised about the
answers. I
was
surprised,
too.
James
was
Duke
’
s
elder
son.
James
hated
Duchess
because
she
was
not
his
mother.
James
hated
Arthur
because
Arthur
had
everything
that
James
never
could
because
of
this,
Duke
sent
Author
to
Dr
Huxtable
’
s
school.
James asked Hayes
for help to catch Arthur. James made the most of
it that Arthur
missed his mother. He
cheated Arthur and let him go to the Green Man.
When Arthur
left the school, the German
teacher found him. It was Hayes who killed him
because
Hayes let his deed out. All the
mysteries were clear. Arthur and Duchess would
return
home. James was leaving for
Australia. Sherlock Holmes got twelve thousand
pounds
and began to work the next case.
The story was over.
Excellent episodes
1.
When
visitors
came
to
see
Sherlock
Holmes
in
Baker
Street,
they
often
did
surprising
things,
Sometimes
they
put
their
heads
in
their
hands
and
cried.
Sometimes they talked and talked, and
couldn
’
t stop. And sometimes
they just sat
there and
didn
’
t say a word. But
nobody was more surprising than Dr Huxtable.
