A Conversation With Sherlock Holmes

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Holmes, I am enormously elated, how it all started, may I ask, though somewhat belated.” “I was working silently solving intricate murder cases, until Conan Doyle picked me up from many sleuth faces, narrated my exploits in words of my friend, Dr. Watson, and since then the limelight upon me was always on”. “You had been a private detective par excellence, what was your forte in the profession in essence?” “I believed in proficiency with careful observation, used common sense for the methodical deduction, in order to solve surely the manipulated mystery I applied logical reasoning, forensic science helped me, derived rational conclusion before the culprit was gone and I said to my friend, it’s elementary, dear Watson.” “You liked to spend time leisurely smoking pipe at home, you looked dispassionate, what energized you, Mr. Holmes?” “Whenever I got complex investigations so much hard to deal with like the ones given to me by the Scotland Yard, I was excited instantly if these were tough mystery ridden, discovered within simple evidences the vital clues hidden, I showed then intentionally the flair of my showmanship to impress observers my thinking line in me I used to keep.” “A legendary detective you had made yourself people see, you were considered an iconic character, do you agree?” “Solving mysteries for justice to the victims I strived to try, I was the only one doing this in the Victorian era gone by. I was happy receiving for my exciting job so much admiration, live content retired in a farm with beekeeping as occupation.” (Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) _________________ February 11, 2022 Contest : A Conversation With A Fictional Character Sponsored by : Natasha L Scragg
