A Scandal in Bohemia
Returning from his journey to a patient on the twentieth of March, 1888, Dr. Watson pays a visit to his friend Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street. Holmes is expecting a client who wants to consult him upon a matter of the very deepest moment.
A gentleman wearing a mask turns up, and he introduces himself as a Bohemian nobleman. He says that he came to prevent an immense scandal concerning the great House of Ormstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia. Holmes is already aware of it, and he also knows that the gentleman in disguise is, in reality, the Bohemian King himself. Realizing that it is futile to deceive Holmes, the Bohemian King takes off his mask and pronounces that he is the King.
His Majesty relates to them why he came incognito from Prague. He wants to recover the indiscreet photograph he had taken with Irene Adler when he was young. She has retired from the operatic stage and lives in London recently. He is to be married to a daughter of the King of Scandinavia, and Irene Adler threatened him that she would send them the photograph on the day when the betrothal was publicly proclaimed. The King knows that she will do it, as she would not tolerate being discarded by him so lightly.
The next day, impersonating as a drunken-looking groom, Holmes gathers information about Irene Adler. Holmes coincidentally engages himself as the best man in the marriage between Irene Adler and her lawyer, Mr. Godfrey Norton.
Once again, Holmes disguises himself as a nonconformist clergyman that evening. He succeeds in infiltrating into the house of Irene Alder employing a prearranged scuffle among loafers and a trick with a little moist red paint. Holmes makes a false alarm of fire with the assistance of Watson, which so scares Irene Adler that she inadvertently betrays where she had hidden the photograph.
Holmes thinks that the case is practically closed, and he intends to call on her with the King tomorrow and to regain the photograph.
When they reached Baker Street, Holmes searches his pocket for the key at the door. At this moment, a slim youth in an ulster passes by them bidding Holmes good night. The voice sounds familiar to Holmes, but he could not figure out who the youth might be.
When Holmes arrived at the door of Briony Lodge the next day with Watson and the King of Bohemia, he realizes that he is beaten by one of the most formidable antagonists in his career.
