Extended reading read the introduction to sir Arthur konan oil and his short story the red headed league, then read the adapted excerpt from the short story the . red headed league. except con doll eighteen and nineteen thirty was a Scottish writer whose best known fictional character is the private detective. Sherlock comes. The detective has the habit of paying attention to the small list and seemingly insignificant details, which inevitably leads to i'm solving many mysterious crimes. The red headed league, narrated by home's friend, doctor son, tells the tale of a man with red hair who joins the club for red, just knowingly helps a crime take place. You see, Watson, he explained in the early hours of the morning, as we SAT over a glass of whisky, and so do in Baker street, IT was perfectly obvious from the first that the only possible object of this rather fantastic business of the advertisement of the red headed league and the copying of the n cycle pedia, must be to get Wilson, this not of a bright porn broker, out of the for a number of hours every day. IT was a curious way of managing IT, but really, IT would be difficult to suggest a Better way. The criminal case clever plan was most certainly inspired by the colour of his accomplishes hair. The four pounds a week was used to attract him. And what was IT to them who were playing for thousands, they put in the advertisement, one criminal has the temporary office, and the other one convinces the man to apply for IT. Together, they manage to secure his absence every morning in the week. From the time that I heard of the assistance having come for half wages, IT was obvious to me that he had some strong motive for securing the situation. But how could you guess what the motive was? The man's business was a small one, and there was nothing in his house which could account for such careful preparations and such expenses. IT must then be something out of the house. What could IT be? I thought of the assistance fun, this photography and his trick of vanishing into the seller. Then I made inquiries as to this mysterious assistant and found that I had to deal with one of the coolest and most daring criminals in london. He was doing something in the seller, something which took many hours a day for months on end. What would IT be once more? I could think of nothing except that he was digging a tunnel to some other building so far. I had got when we went to visit the scene of action. I surprised you by beating upon the pavement with my stick. I was establishing whether the seller stretched out in front or behind. IT was not in front. Then I ran the bell. And as I hoped, the assistant answered, I hardly looked at his face. His knees were what I wish to see. You must yourself have noticed how warn, wrinkled and stained they were. They were evidence of those hours of digging. The only remaining point was what they were digging for. I walked around the corner, saw a bank connected to our friend's property and felt that I had solved my problem when you drove home after the concert, I called upon scotland yard and the chairman of the bank directors with the result that you have seen. And how could you tell that they would make their attempt tonight? I asked. Well, when they closed their league offices, that was a mine that they cared no longer about mister Wilson's presence, in other words, that they had completed their tunnel. But IT was essential that they should use IT soon, as IT might be discovered, all the gold might be removed. Saturday would suit them Better than any other day, as I would give them two days for their escape. For all these reasons, I expected them to come tonight. You reasoned IT out beautifully. I exclaimed in genuine admiration. IT is so long a chain, and yet every link rings true. IT save me from bottom. He answered your ning. I already feel like closing in upon me. My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the routines of daily life. These little problems help me to do so, and you are a benefactor of society, said I. He shrugged his shoulders. Well, perhaps, after all, IT is of some little use, he remarked.
