Holmes knew he had to find more data after Helen had shared her knowledge. He reassessed his position and was determined that the danger could not have come from the door or the window. Sherlock Holmes brought his attention to the fake ventilator and dummy bell pull. The bell pull and ventilator acted as a passageway to the bed that was clamped to the floor. Holmes came to the conclusion that the entry could have been for a snake since Dr. Roylott owned animals from India. The poison of the snake would not have been discovered by a test; the miniscule snake bite was scarcely noticeable. Sherlock thought of the milk which was used to train the snake. Additionally, he had examined the chair which looked particularly worn. The chair enabled Dr. Roylott to reach the ventilator. The safe, milk, and looped whipcord discarded any doubts Holmes had. He knew the metallic noise was caused by the safe door. Once he had heard the hissing sound, Sherlock turned on the light and struck the rope which drove the creature through the ventilator. The snake attacked the first person in sight, Dr. Roylott. This story was a foul play mystery because it included true facts about the mystery; some of the facts were red herrings. Red herrings are false clues that mislead readers while trying to solve a mystery. Some of the red herrings in the story included that the gypsies were involved in the death, the papers in the safe, and the coroner's conclusion of Julia's death. A happy mood swept into the story because Dr. Roylott died. Due to his death, people could live without feeling frightened of him. The tone was uplifting. Helen no longer had to fear of Dr. Roylott; she could become married and live happily. Sherlock Holmes successfully elucidated the case and felt he was not responsible for the death of Dr.
