I meant chapter 2 of A Study in Scarlet in the last update.

Finished all the short stories under 'Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.' Only the second last story left no impression. I'm rereading A Study in Scarlett and the third chapter is a favourite.

‘He curled himself up in his chair, with his thin knees drawn up to his hawk-like nose, and there he sat with his eyes closed ...’

Irene Adler has been introduced. Can't help but imagine her as Adjani in Nosferatu the Vampyre. If she left such an impression on Holmes then it's only fair I think of someone who left a deep impression on me.

Finished The Sign of the Four, that's two novels done. It was very good, I liked it much better than A Study in Scarlet. There are hundreds of pages of short stories now. Everything reads like a perfect play, surprisingly. It's very vivid and I love making a voice for each character.

Such a frustrating, well done story filled with mystique due to tragedy.

"A hundred times I have killed him in my sleep."

So freaking goooooooood
