Sir Arthur Conan Doyle portrayed optimism for a young woman, Helen Stoner, as she attempted to determine the cause of her sister’s death in the novella, “The Adventure of the Speckled Band.” Helen was involuntarily courageous as she endured the death of her twin sister, Julia, in the year of 1881. In fact, the day she died was the eve of her wedding. After two years, the cause of her death was still undiscovered; although, numerous professionals strived to solve the catastrophic incident.

The holes where the snake had bit Julia would have been too little for human eyes to see; the doctors did not detect any signs of physical harm. The milk in the bowl on the dresser used to train the snake. Likewise, the chair from inside Dr. Roylott’s chamber was one he had stood upon much to reach the ventilator, which is why it presented a dilapidated look. Dr. Roylott would have stood upon the chair to place the snake in the false ventilator. It would slither to the other side, making its way down the ball pull, and onto the bed. When the snake was put into the safe, Dr. Roylott closed it making a metallic clang. However, when Sherlock Holmes thrashed at the snake, it caused it to turn the other way with a larger temper, killing Dr. Grimesby Roylott. This was a foul play mystery for the reason that true clues, false clues, or red herrings were used to attract and mislead the reader. From these clues, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were able to resolve the case; then, Helen Stoner would soon be married to her fiancé with whom she would live a content life. From the beginning, Sherlock Holmes revealed intense clues illuminating the grotesque and tragic ending of Julia Stoner’s death- a murder by her stepfather, Dr. Grimesby
