I had seldom heard Holmes since I was married. And I took the job as a doctor again. One day, I went to my patient’s and I passed by the former residence—Becker Street. I dropped by Holmes. And he asked me to stay to help him. Then, the client, the king of Bohemia came and started his matter.
Irene Adler, who once made the acquaintance of the king and even took a photo of them two, threatened that if the king married Clotilde Lothman Von Saxe-Meningen, she would send them the photo. Holmes dressed up as a groom and heard something about Miss Adler. And unexpectedly he became the person who witnessed marriage of Miss Adler and Godfrey Norton. Then we got to Briony Lodge to carry out our plan.
Holmes dressed up as a clergyman. He compromised to be taken into the house by disguised to be hurt badly. I tossed my rocket into the room with a cry of “Fire!” and the place was disturbed. After ten minutes, we met each other. I was told that everyone in the street was an accomplice. They were all engaged. Holmes said he had seen where the photo was put when Miss was so worried that she had a look at it because of the “fire”. We planned to visit Miss Adler with the king the next day.
But a letter written by Miss Adler said that she had known our plan and he had left with her husband. We would not be able to get the photo. And she just wanted to keep herself safe by the photo. And the king was satisfied by the ending.
When I called upon Holmes, I was put into a case again. A red-headed man visited Holmes and showed the advertisement about recruiting a member of the League he said he had a pawnbroker and an employee who liked to be paid half the salary to work in the pawnbroker for he wanted to learn this business. The employee liked taking photos very much.
The red-headed man applied for the member of League and worked for eight weeks. What he did was just copying out the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Then the Red-headed League is dissolved.
Holmes and I started to investigate the case. We came to the Coburg Sauare and we shall be in time to stop it. Holmes asked the police to help to catch the criminal. Unexpectedly, the criminal was caught by us.
The assistant borrowed a tunnel leading to the City and Suburban Bank by enticing Mr. Willson to be absent for hours. Because there was 30,000 pounds in the cellar of the bank.
