Conan Doyle in “The Man with a Twisted Lip” shows Holmes and Watson in a different light. Watson at the beginning is by himself looking for a friend when he finds Holmes hiding out in an opium den he was investigating. Holmes then tells Watson of his investigation into the disappearance of Neville St. Clair. That night Holmes and Watson go to the home of the missing man and speak to his wife who has just received a letter from the perceived dead man. They spend the night at the house where Holmes stays up all night thinking about the mystery. The next day Holmes and Watson go to and see the only suspect in the crime, a dirty old beggar. Holmes then takes a bath sponge and washes off the beggar’s dirty face to reveal the face of Neville St.
