Holmes was originally a research laboratory researchers interested in chemical experiments. In a chance, the detection of a pile bizarre case, since known as the detectives. He has wisdom, superhuman brain, the eyes can observe the subtle events and extraordinary physical strength and martial arts. But proud people would lag behind. Holmes is also proud of error, in which case the window of the yellow face, his conclusion under the earlier, it failed.
I think, no matter who, can not be proud, proud people behind. Proud to make people careless, so you usually can perceive many things in your eyes disappear; many things in common seems handy, but often wrong. A lot of things very carefully as long as it will dry into, even if you never did. So do not be careless, not pride.
But pride does not mean lack of confidence. If Holmes has mastered many hands convincing evidence, do not dare action, do not they wasted it? Confidence is necessary. If you do not have confidence, then simple things can be done. Because you did not dare to try, no matter what, as long as the courage to try, is to be successful, otherwise it is not that chance.
Only careful with the courage to try to succeed. Not proud of but have confidence. If there is no confidence, nothing can be done successful.

As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.
Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.
