Nevertheless, Holmes took an interest in a Miss Irene Adler, whom he always referred to as 'the woman'. She was born in New Jersey in 1858 and outwitted him in the case of A Scandal in Bohemia.

Sherlock Holmes was "the most perfect
reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen", but he was not without

towards women, because he felt their influence a distraction to his work, so he would not
allow himself (as Watson did) to become swayed by their romantic allure.
