describe what happened at Mortimer's family residence?
Answers
Answer:
Sherlock Holmes was advised a temporary disqualification from work. However, Not long after his arrival, a murder takes place and his assistance is needed. The sister of a Mr. Mortimer Tregennis has been discovered dead, with her two brothers sitting at the table, ''out of their senses.'' There is no sign of foul play. In fact, Mortimer had left them the previous evening ''shortly after ten o'clock...in excellent health and spirits.'' The next morning he walks back to the house only to find his sister dead. Based on the few details provided, Holmes indicates he has seldom encountered ''a case that presented a more singular problem.'' Going over the scene of the crime, Holmes finds little evidence. He does ask about the reason for a fire in the fireplace, but otherwise leaves with little to go on. He takes Watson on a walk and speaks only of ''celts, arrowheads, and shards.'' When they return to their residence, a Dr. Leon Sterndale waits for them. He is ''the great lion-hunter and explorer.'' Holmes questions him over his sudden appearance, but gets unsatisfactory responses from him. His inquisition is then interrupted by news of another death.
