A Scandal in Bohemia Chapter 2


So, this is a natural continuation of the short story A Scandal in Bohemia by Arthur Conan Doyle. Which places it third in the Sherlock series of Doyle.
This chapter takes place in two act structure.
First, we enter the room with Watson, who is waiting eagerly for Sherlock to come out of his rooms. Upon joining, Sherlock describes his morning adventures at Irene Adler "The women" home.
And time and again, we are amused by sheer abilities of Sherlock to play a disguise. The plan to trick the woman and getting the photos back is shared between the boys. And as usual until the end we are unable to guess the end and that is The crux of what defines the detective fiction.

Audience has all the information that the characters have but these are the results that define the intelligence of the detective.


So, the next part begins with Watson and Holmes reaching Brainy Lodge. Sherlock being disguised and Watson ready to act upon will of Sherlock. Things go as Sherlock had planned but seems all new to us, Audience.
And are introduced with one more character etiquette, this time it is, Watson. The deception planned by the protagonist Holmes involved Watson having to throw a smoke rocket into window and running screaming fire, but which was just smoke nothing else. Watson was finding it very difficult to pursue because it felt WRONG. It was looking unlawful to him when Sherlock had introduced the plan to him but upon reaching the door and doing it felt like felonious and dishonest. Here we see Watson in dilemma to put the projectile into the window or not. But as he had promised Sherlock and who was in middle of his plan. It was not possible for him to stop at this moment because it would rot the plan.
So even if he was thinking it was wrong, Watson had the courage to do it because he had promised Sherlock to do the part.

But eventually he convinced himself by conjecturing, it was like stealing from the thief itself. So, it doesn't makes the act that much illegal. And also there was no physical violence involved with the victim-Irene Adler.
And that ends the main act, then we are left with Sherlock and Watson going at speed to Baker Street. And Sherlock explains Watson the process of extracting the location of photos from Adlar.
The fact that in state of fear(a man or in this case The Women), goes to his most prizeful possessions could not had been used in a better manner.
And that fits the foundations of Sherlock as a detective and Coonan as a writer in himself.
Now what happens next will be seen in next and the last chapter of the story.

Good bye
