Question

I want to know in the story of Sherlock Holmes—A Scandal of Bohemia, why did Sherlock Holmes call Irene Adler go?

Answer 1

Answer:

Watson concludes the story by noting that, since their meeting, Holmes always referred to Adler by the honourable title of "the woman." In the short story's opening paragraph, Watson calls her "the late Irene Adler," suggesting she is deceased.
