"Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Best of Sherlock Holmes" is a set of recounts about some of the most iconic cases that were solved by Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is obsessed with ascertaining the truth, and while his personality does not lend to partnership, he realizes that reliable alliances are crucial to his ability to uncover clues which he otherwise would not be able to obtain on his own.
In this one “A Scandal in Bohemia,” Holmes employs his most consistent partner, Dr. Watson. After entering Irene Adler’s house, he signals to Watson to drop in a smoke rocket through the window which allows him to determine Adler’s most prized possession which she reaches for when she believes a fire has started.
In “The Man with the Twisted Lip,” Watson finds that Holmes disguised in an opium den.
Something important to highlight is that Holmes understands that he cannot always form alliances with his detective identity and he must utilize disguises in order to gain the trust of others.
These are the alliances that are not always in a human form. In “The Adventure of Silver Blaze,” the case is broken open when Holmes realizes that the only reason the dog would not bark in the night is if the dog recognized the perpetrator, which immediately drastically narrows the suspect pool. In other cases, Holmes uses a hound in order to track scents.
Hope this helps.

The last four lines of the poem “God’s Grandeur” by Gerard Manley Hopkins, line 16 of the Canto 54 of Tennyson’s “In Memoriam” and the last line of Percy Bysshe Shelley focuses on the thought which is like each other. All the three poems at one point of time highlight the issue of rebirth which nature keeps hidden from our eyes. However, people should believe in nature’s process of bringing the beauty and brightness of the day back from the darkness of the night or the rebirth is yet to happen.
The poem “God’s Grandeur” speaks about the rotation of nature. It is through the rotation that the bright side of the day precedes the dark night. The poem speaks about the ‘rebirth’ which the humans are under the process of. The world for the poet is in an ‘embryo’ from where it must be reborn by breaking the hard-shell. The poem ends on a positive note, reflecting the process of rebirth which is yet to happen.
In the poem “In Memoriam,” Tennyson speaks about the nature of humans who themselves don’t know about their strength and capacity. Thus, they lament and cry in the dark without knowing about the bright daylight which stands next to the darkness.
Shelley’s “Ode to the West Wind” ends with a rhetorical question about the daylight which will be the predecessor of the dark night. She speaks about the beauty of nature which circulates and moves on. The speaker concludes by giving a message about the death and decay that a rebirth will always be the one following them.
