The Adventure of the Cardboard Box	Arthur Conan Doyle	14	['Jim Browner']	In choosing a few typical cases which illustrate the remarkable mental qualities of my friend, Sherlock Holmes, I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to select those which presented the minimum of sensationalism, while offering a fair field for his talents.

The Adventure of the Speckled Band	Arthur Conan Doyle	13	['Grimesby Roylott']	On glancing over my notes of the seventy odd cases in which I have during the last eight years studied the methods of my friend Sherlock Holmes, I find many tragic, some comic, a large number merely strange, but none commonplace; for, working as he did rather for the love of his art than for the acquirement of wealt...	null
The Adventure of the Empty House	Arthur Conan Doyle	18	['Sebastian Moran']	It was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Honourable Ronald Adair under most unusual and inexplicable circumstances.

The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton	Arthur Conan Doyle	17	['Charles Augustus Milverton']	It is years since the incidents of which I speak took place, and yet it is with diffidence that I allude to them.

The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place	Arthur Conan Doyle	17	['Robert Norberton']	Sherlock Holmes had been bending for a long time over a low-power microscope. Now he straightened himself up and looked round at me in triumph. "It is glue, Watson," said he. "Unquestionably it is glue. Have a look at these scattered objects in the field!" I stooped to the eyepiece and focused for my vision. "T...	null

Silver Blaze	Arthur Conan Doyle	14	['John Straker']	I am afraid, Watson, that I shall have to go,” said Holmes, as we sat down together to our breakfast one morning. “Go!

The Adventure of the Golden Pince-Nez	Arthur Conan Doyle	15	['Anna Coram']	When I look at the three massive manuscript volumes which contain our work for the year 1894, I confess that it is very difficult for me, out of such a wealth of material, to select the cases which are most interesting in themselves, and at the same time most conducive to a display of t...	null
