The Case of the Peasenhall Murder (post 2)

The investigation begins with the questioning of the people were near the scene of the crime. There's a little competition between Lestrade and Holmes. Lestrade and the Scotland Yard have already interrogated everyone, but Holmes believes that everyone has more to say. So, in the end Holmes does all the work and this shows how devoted he is to solving a crime. He says, "You see, my dear fellow? It seems they have not said all they have to say. I believe, Lestrade, this is another of our cases in which you and Scotland Yard will live to thank me for my assistance," (208). I guess Holmes does believe he is better than a group of detectives and it also shows his determination. He doesn't give and believes there is more evidence.

When Holmes and Watson examine the kitchen where Rose was murdered, Holmes like literally yells at Watson to get him to see the point. It seems like Watson is a burden to Holmes. Probably without Watson, Holmes might be quicker in solving a case. He seems to hold Holmes back.
