    Yes! Sherlock Holmes sets both free! But for stealing a jewel and a goose? In my opinion‚ Sherlock Holmes positively made the wrong decision by letting Ryder and Catharine free. That means‚ Sherlock Holmes also broke the law! Sherlock should have never let them go‚ because no one never knows if Ryder and Catharine will commit another crime or not.

    Why Sherlock Holmes is Just as Original as C. Auguste Dupin After reading two famous amateur detective stories by Edgar Allan Poe and two by Arthur Conan Doyle‚ I found myself questioning the originality of Doyle’s stories as compared to Poe’s stories. The stories in question are "The Purloined Letter" and "Murders in the Rue Morgue" by Poe and "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" and "A Scandal in Bohemia" by Doyle.
