Adventure 1. A S candal in Bohemia
I.
To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman.
I have seldom heard him mention her under
any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and
predominates the whole of her sex. It was not
that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene
Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly,
were abhorrent to his cold, precise but
admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it,
the most perfect reasoning and observing
machine that the world has seen, but as a lover
he would have placed himself in a false
position. He never spoke of the softer
passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They
were admirable things for the observer—
excellent for drawing the veil from men’s
motives and actions. But for the trained
reasoner to admit such intrusions into his
own delicate
and finely
adjusted
temperament was to introduce a distracting
factor which might throw a doubt upon all his
mental results. Grit in a sensitive instrument,
or a crack in one of his own high-power
lenses, would not be more disturbing than a
strong emotion in a nature such as his. And yet
there was but one woman to him, and that
woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious
and questionable memory.
I had seen little of Holmes lately. My marriage
had drifted us away from each other. My own

complete happiness, and the home-centred
interests which rise up around the man who
first finds himself master of his own
establishment, were sufficient to absorb all my
attention, while Holmes, who loathed every
form of society with his whole Bohemian
soul, remained in our lodgings in Baker
Street, buried among his old books, and
alternating from week to week between
cocaine and ambition, the drowsiness of the
drug, and the fierce energy of his own keen
nature. He was still, as ever, deeply attracted by
the study of crime, and occupied his
immense faculties and extraordinary powers
of observation in following out those clues,
and clearing up those mysteries which had
been abandoned as hopeless by the official
police. From time to time I heard some vague
account of his doings: of his summons to
Odessa in the case of the Trepoff murder, of
his clearing up of the singular tragedy of the
Atkinson brothers at Trincomalee, and finally
of the mission which he had accomplished so
delicately and successfully for the reigning
family of Holland. Beyond these signs of his
activity, however, which I merely shared with
all the readers of the daily press, I knew little
of my former friend and companion.
One night—it was on the twentieth of March,
1888—I was returning from a MRXUQH\ WR D
patient (for I had now returned to civil

Street. As I passed the well-remembered door,
which must always be associated in my mind
with my wooing, and with the dark incidents
of the Study in Scarlet, I was seized with a
keen desire to see Holmes again, and to know
how he was employing his extraordinary
powers. His rooms were brilliantly lit, and,
even as I looked up, I saw his tall, spare figure
pass twice in a dark silhouette against the
blind. He was pacing the room swiftly,
eagerly, with his head sunk upon his chest
and his hands clasped behind him. To me,
who knew his every mood and habit, his
attitude and manner told their own story. He
was at work again. He had risen out of his
drug-created dreams and was hot upon the
scent of some new problem. I rang the bell
and was shown up to the chamber which had
formerly been in part my own.
His manner was not effusive ,W VHOGRP ZDV
but he was glad, I think, to see me. With hardly
a word spoken, but with a kindly eye, he
waved me to an armchair, threw across his
case of cigars, and indicated a spirit case and a
gasogene in the corner. Then he stood before
the fire and looked me over in his singular
introspective fashion.
“Wedlock suits you,” he remarked. “I think,
Watson, that you have put on seven and a half
pounds since I saw you.”
“Seven!” I answered.
