answers of the adventures of the speckled band (from text book of a magic place class 8)
Answers
Answer:
1)in a pitiable state of agitation…with restless, frightened eyes, like those of some hunted animal.” She, like most of Mr. Holmes's visitors, has a mystery to be solved—one that threatens her life.
2)Helen Stoner told Holmes that her stepfather was the last survivor of the old Saxon families in England. She told him about his trip to India and his marriage to her mother. Dr. Roylott went to India because of his imprisonment
3)At the end of the story, it is discovered that Julia was bitten by a venomous swamp adder, which Sir Grimesby Roylott trained to travel between his room and Julia's room whenever he blew a low whistle. Eventually, Julia accidentally provoked the venomous snake, which caused it to bite and kill her
4)Helen Stoner goes to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. ... Roylott told Helen Stoner to move into her sisters room. Next, the detectives devise a plan to figure out the truth behind Julia's death and later on discovers that Dr. Roylott used a snake to kill Julia and to try and kill Helen.
5)on the forth night she apparently had a set of candle and a box of matches near her bed so that she could strike a light if she heard the whistle.Helen tell holmes- in her right hand was found the charred stump of a match , and in her left a match - box
6)Holmes found that there was actually no need for repairs in Helen's own room. Since, the reapirs had begun, she had been using her sister's room and there, Holmes found that the bed was bolted to the floor.
7)The Night where Holmes and Watson spend in Helen's sister Julia's room was a terrifying one. Julia died in his own room and the killer killed her leaving no such clues at all. Still Holmes found the motive and way she was killed.
8)The gypsy band living there as well is just a red herring. When the snake comes into their room, Holmes realizes how the doctor used the snake to kill Julia. It was only Holmes's brute strength and fast deductive skills that saved them, as the snake came after them in the dark.
