Document Summary
Finality like a death sentence for roylott. Common for sherlock holmes: how is the corpse seen. On the table stood a dark lantern : narrative doesn"t give big picture with one sentence, we walk in with roylott sitting on chair and wearing dressing gown etc. Camera technique to make us look at specifics: strange headgear began to move. Don"t know what speckled band is at this moment: i took a step forward. In an instant his strange headgear began to move, and there reared itself from among his hair the squat diamond-shaped head and puffed neck of a loathsome serpent. What we thought was an inanimate object ends up being creepy. Conan doyle concerned with creating emotional effect in reader: it is a swamp adder . Snake a silent killer in this silent place. Holmes whispers and then cries (says loudly) Holmes position as the one who knows.
