Most of the stories of this super-sleuth are narrated by his friend, [[Dr. Watson]]. [[Sherlock Holmes|Holmes]] is pictured as a sharp-featured man with uncanny powers of observation and deduction, and a glance or two and a few minutes&#039; serious thinking almost invariably put him on the track of the solution of any mystery he was probing.<br /> <br /> He would tell you a person&#039;s height from the length of his stride as indicated by footprints, or, in another case, by measuring the height from the ground of some writing on the wall [[Sherlock Holmes|Holmes]] pointing out that in writing on a wall a man would always write on a level with his eyes.<br /> <br /> Every one should read [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]]&#039;s stories of [[Sherlock Holmes]], not only because they are exceedingly interesting but because they teach us how to use our eyes and all the things that we can learn from what we see.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:Complete Works|Back to Complete Works]]<br /> * [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle|Back to Conan Doyle]]</div>
