Chapters 13-15 Sherlock Holmes says that he and Dr. Watson have never met “a foreman more worthy of our steel” (p. 194) than Stapleton. Discuss why Stapleton is a worthy adversary for Holmes’ expert ability. Now that Stapleton has been identified as the murderer, examine clues from the story that foreshadow his guilt.
