The Adventure of the Red-Headed League

The Adventure of the Red-Headed League | Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir (CRT)

I had called upon my friend, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, one day in the autumn of last year and found him in deep conversation with a very stout, florid-faced, elderly gentleman with fiery red hair. #firstlinefridays @ShyBookOwl

Just finished this today because I'm super behind. I haven't said much about these because I feel like there's not much to say. But I am still reading along! #sherlocked #serialreader #readalong

jpmcwisemorgan I think we're all in different places! 8y

gossamerchild @jpmcwisemorgan that makes me feel better 😊 8y

Daisey I feel pretty much the same way. I'm enjoying the story, but there's not much to comment on with each one. 8y

Ok so here's my first #sherlocked question. If the man was elderly, why wasn't his hair gray? Just sayin'! #IJS

josie281 Good genes? 8y

jpmcwisemorgan Oh...this one is one of my favorite Sherlock stories. Just wait! 8y

Ole Trump family? 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Maybe Watson is ageist - and meant elderly compared to him? 🤔 8y

readinginthedark What's the definition of elderly at the time? My dad's in his mid-sixties and only has a few grey hairs. Still mostly brown! 8y

Pinkmeghan @josie281 hahaha I assume so! 8y

Pinkmeghan @jpmcwisemorgan I remember the concept of the story but I can't remember the ending for the life of me! I guess I'll just be surprised! 8y

Pinkmeghan @Ole ha no they specifically say in the story it's not dye or a toupee so I guess that clan is out of the running! 🤣 8y

Pinkmeghan @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I wonder? Maybe? 8y

Pinkmeghan @readinginthedark I wonder that too! 8y

mrsmarch I dunno, remember Uncles Jack and Ed? They never qualified as "fiery," but they never really lost being red-headed. 8y

Pinkmeghan @mrsmarch in the story though it's clearly stated that he has the brightest red head in the line of redheads waiting to interview! #conundrum 8y

Bookworm83 For a second there I read that as Holmes having red hair! That would have completely blown my image of him 😋 8y
