III “The principal difficulty in your case….lay in the fact there being too much evidence. What was vital was overlaid and hidden by what was irrelevant.” “The Naval Treaty” from “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” Was he a strong or weak day master? He was born on a 庚 Geng metal day in the 巳 Snake month. The 巳 Snake month represented summer when fire was strong. His metal was not born in season.

Inside the 申 Monkey day, there was 庚 Geng metal. There was also some more庚 Geng metal in the 巳 Snake month. His metal had roots in both the 申 Monkey day and the 巳 Snake month. There was also earth in the 未Goat year to produce his metal. The metal may not have been born in season but due to the structure of the chart, the metal could be considered as fairly strong. There was a clash between the申 Monkey and the寅 Tiger. This clash could be interpreted to mean that one of the roots for his 庚 Geng metal day master had been taken away. But the申 Monkey was in the day pillar. His 庚 Geng metal day master was seated on the申 Monkey Earthly Branch. If the申 Monkey had been removed by the clash, then what Earthly Branch was there left for the day master? It was not logical for the庚 Geng metal day master to have no Earthly Branch under it. Therefore, it could also be argued that the clash had not taken away the申 …show more content…
Although there was wood in the寅 Tiger and the 未Goat, they did not form any combination of wood. When the wood was found in the 未Goat, the wood element was said to be in the tomb. If an element entered the tomb stage, it was considered as weak. Did he have a happy marriage? From the biographical details, we know that he was distressed when his first wife, Louise, became seriously sick in 1893 from tuberculosis. When the sickness became worse and the wife died, he was even more grief stricken. After that, he married for a second time, to a woman named Jean Leckie whom he had been friendly with during his wife’s lifetime. If a person did not enjoy a happy marriage, he would not have grieved when the wife became sick, and then passed away. If the experiences from the first marriage had been bitter, it was likely that the person might be more wary of re-marrying. Therefore, we could reasonably conclude that he enjoyed two happy marriages. Was it possible to deduce this from the chart? To a male metal day master, the wife was represented by wood because the metal controlled the wood. There was no wood in his 申 Monkey day or 巳 Snake month. These pillars represented the ages when he got married

A crime that reaches Sherlock Holmes is not just a broken law, but a mystery. Trivia locates patterns to form functional solutions, while Doyle creates a world of disguises, drugs, and intrigue, in which the answer is never the obvious or expected. The facts presented are not the definite, or even likely, conclusion. This is apparent in the story’s mystery, in which the wife of Neville St. Clair witnessed what appeared to be her husband’s murder, leading to the arrest of a beggar, Hugh Boone, who was found at the scene of the crime. However, Sherlock Holmes deduces that Boone and St. Clair are the same man, revealing that St. Clair had been commuting to the city to beg rather than work and had allowed his own arrest to protect his ruse.

Through this, she herself had stated she invented parts of the story to fill in the spaces. “I did my best through other sources from the period and place to discover the world they would have seen and the reactions they might have had. What I offer you here is in part of my invention, but held tightly by the voices of the past.” She partially invents aspects of the story for lack of evidence. For example, during the marriage or the original Martin Guerre and Bertrande before he leaves, they are unable to have child for several years.
