Answers
Answer:
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, first published on 14 October 1892. It contains the earliest short stories featuring the consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, which had been published in twelve monthly issues of The Strand Magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. The stories are collected in the same sequence, which is not supported by any fictional chronology. The only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson and all are related in first-person narrative from Watson's point of view.

Answer:
Dr. Watson visits Sherlock Holmes, who shows him a letter he has received asking for his assistance. The writer of the letter appears in disguise, but Holmes recognizes him as the King of Bohemia. The King explains that five years ago he became involved with Irene Adler; now that he is engaged to be married, he fears that she will use a photograph showing him and her together as blackmail against him. He pleads for Holmes to retrieve the photograph.
Learning that Adler has just married Godfrey Norton, a lawyer, in a quick and inconspicuous ceremony, Holmes concocts a plan to determine where she has hidden the photograph of the King. Pretending to have been injured in a fight in front of Adler, he gains entrance to her house; then, at his signal, Watson throws in a smoke-rocket and yells that there is a fire. In the confusion, Adler rushes to secure the photograph, as Holmes had surmised she would, inadvertently revealing its location to the detective. Holmes slips out and informs Watson of his victory.
However, when the two, along with the King, go to Adler's apartment to retrieve the photograph, they discover that it is gone and that Adler has left a photograph of herself and a note to Holmes explaining that she caught onto his plan and escaped with the treasured object. Holmes admits his defeat but keeps Adler's photo, while the King is satisfied that Adler will not use his photograph against him.
