Download A Scandal in Bohemia: Sherlock Holmes AudioBook Free
While the currently committed Dr. Watson is paying Holmes a visit, a visitor comes, bringing out himself as Count Von Kramm, an agent for a wealthy customer. However, Holmes quickly deduces that he's in simple fact Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein and the hereditary King of Bohemia. Noticing Holmes has seen through his guise, the King admits this and tears off his face mask. It transpires that the King is to become involved to Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meiningen, a young Scandinavian princess. However, five years previous to the occurrences of the story he had a liaison with an American opera singer, Irene Adler, while she was serving a term as prima donna of the Imperial Opera of Warsaw, that has since that time retired to London. Fearful which should the firmly principled category of his fiancée observe this impropriety, the relationship would be called off, he had sought to get back letters and a photograph of Adler and himself mutually, which he had sent to her throughout their romantic relationship as a token. The King's realtors have tried to recuperate the photograph through sometimes forceful means, burglary, stealing her luggage, and waylaying her. An offer to pay for the photograph and words was also refused. With Adler threatening to send them to his future in-laws, which Von Ormstein presumes is to avoid him marrying any woman, he makes the incognito visit to Holmes to require his assist in locating and acquiring the photograph.
