Sherlock was very keen on this man and the way the bride was describing him. And very much figured out what happened to him while they were talking.

To conclude, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is an interesting read. It includes many adventures alike and unalike. When I was reading it, it became a boring read as once you end an adventure you go straight into another. Without any break between the two. But I pushed through to finish the book so I can finish my projects. When I started the book it wasn’t as bad as when I ended.
