The Red- headed League

My dear doctor, let's look, not talk. (p.42)

  I read The red- headed league which was written by Arthur Conan Doyle.
  One day an red- headed man visit Sherlock Holmes because he wants advice from Holmes. He is deceived by a group which is called The red- headed league. He works hard every day but suddenly the organization disappears. Holmes tries to solve the mystery. I think his powers of observation for the mystery is a highlight of this story.
  In this story the monetary unit of London appears and it is Pound. Yuka researched about it for literature circle. According to her, 1 Pound is 250,000- 500,000 yen now. The client of Holmes works to get 4 pound which is paid every week, so his salary becomes 1,000,000 yen now... I was so surprised to hear that.
