This is a specially adapted version of a Sherlock Holmes story for advanced students. Some of the specifically Victorian language has been changed, but it is close to the original. Try to understand the vocabulary in context. If that fails, some words in the text are underlined. A definition if these words is given below in English. If you still find the text difficult, try reading it first at the intermediate level.
Enjoy your reading.
