    Larson’s tone when describing Holmes’ background and his characteristics is an ambiguous tone because Holmes was perceived as charming, well looking, and genuine, but in reality everything was just an act, which covered his true identity. Holmes is not the handsome young man everyone thinks he is because according to previous pages, he left Mooers Fork without paying his lodging bill, which supports his true identity, a criminal. Especially now that Holmes is the new owner of the pharmacy, he does not need anything from Mrs. Holton, and therefore creates for her to disappear. Holmes is clearly responsible for the disappearance of Mrs. Holton because as neighbors ask for her, he changes a fraction of the story to explain her disappearance for…

    The readers are relieved of such a thought when the old bookseller visits Watson to sell books, but then reveals to be Holmes in disguise. Then, Holmes tells Watson that he faked his death and then went into hiding until the police have arrested Moriarty’s gang. By wearing a disguise and keeping a low profile, Holmes fooled the world and even Watson into believing he was dead. This use of disguises Holmes once again deceived the world and fed society false news of how Lestrade apprehended the last member of Moriarty’s gang. Holmes states that his involvement in the case is to be a secret, which leaves society still deeming Holmes dead. The people do not know that Lestrade did not arrest Moriarty’s last gang member, and that Holmes is…

    As Helen Stoner sits before him for her consultation he is observing everything and proves this by asking her if she took the train that morning. As she is shocked by his accurate theory Sherlock Holmes responds with, “I observe the second half of a return ticket in the palm of your left glove,” giving his client a glimpse of his observation process (Doyle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band 1). She goes on to explain her own theory of how she believes her sister has died of pure fear. However, Holmes is not quite satisfied with these results because she forgets to speak about her stepfather, “’he is a hard man,’ she said, ‘and perhaps he hardly knows his own strength,” as he notices her wrist displays an imprint of a hand (Doyle, The Adventure of the Speckled Band 5). In “The Blanched Soldier,” Sherlock demonstrates the same observation method as Mr. James Dodd sits before him for the interview. He begins to take some guesses about where Dodd is from by saying, “from South Africa, sir, I perceive,” “Imperial Yeomanry, I fancy,” “Middlesex Corps, no doubt,” all were accurate, giving James the same shock as Helen Stoner (Doyle, The Blanched Soldier 1). James did most of the investigation himself before meeting with Sherlock, while he trusted his every word he listened carefully…

    A glimpse of Holmes’ observant mind can be seen as early as the first chapter when Holmes and Dr. Watson are in their home office. Dr. Watson examines a cane that has been left behind by an unknown visitor. With his back turned to Watson and no prior knowledge of what he is doing Holmes asks what he thinks of the cane, completely surprised and caught off guard, Watson says that Holmes must “have eyes in the back of his head”. Holmes admits that he observed his actions through the reflection of the coffee maker. Another example occurs when he is examining the letter that was received by Sir Henry. From his close inspection he is able to conclude that the person who sent the letter is someone familiar with Sir Henry, and that the person is well educated.…
