A scandal in Bohemia

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes : 

A Scandal in Bohemia - 

By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"What a Queen she would have made!"

Sherlock Holmes holds reason above all. He is abhorrent of all emotions, love in particular, and has no place for such gibe-worthy trifles. Yet, there has been one woman, The Woman, who for him, was the queen among the fairer sex. All other females frail in comparison to her. 

We read that after his marriage, Dr. Watson has moved from Baker street to his own quarters. Yet, one fateful day, there paths cross once again as the doctor passes from Baker street. Tempted to visit an old friend, Watson plunges himself into Holmes' adventure, as a friend - silent and reassuring, in one of the most delicate moments of his life.

This story is not of Holmes, but, of The Woman. Her uniqueness. Her intelligence. Her inviolate promises. Her silent seduction. She is the star here. The one who has something to offer Holmes; that which he had deemed unworthy of himself. 

An object of supreme importance, and of scandalous nature, threatens the Bohemian royalty and their rule over the kingdom. Such disaster can only be averted by the observant reasoner - Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who comes recommended from high places.

As many swords hang over Holmes, his easy solution is apt and precise. But, as we read deeper, a dark cloud looms in the darkness far away, "warning" of the impending storm. 

Love is in the air. Does Holmes catch it, or are his reasons enough to protect him?
