Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, A Scandal in Bohemia (Bohemya'da Skandal) kisa oykusunu 25 Haziran 1891 tarihinde yayinladi.
"Holmes konusmaya devam ederken, bir at arabasinin borda feneri meydanin kosesini dondu. Kucuk, guzel bir at arabasi tingirdayarak Briony Konagi'nin kapisina yaklasiyordu. Araba durdugu sirada, sokagin kosesinde bos gezinen erkeklerden biri arabanin kapisini acip biraz para kazanmak umuduyla firladi; fakat, ayni dusunceyle kosmaya baslayan baska bir aylagin dirsek darbesiyle kenara savruldu. Baslayan sert tartisma, her biri bir aylagin tarafini tutan iki muhafizin, ardindan da her iki aylagi birden savunan bileyicinin karismasiyla iyice alevlendi. Bir yumruk atildi, derken arabadan inen hanımefendi bir anda, yuzu kipkirmizi olmus, mucadele eden, birbirlerine yumruklarla, sopalarla acimasizca vuran adamlarin ortasinda kaldi. Holmes hanimefendiyi korumak icin kalabaligin ortasina atildi; fakat ona ulasir ulasmaz bir ciglik atip yere dustu; yuzunden kan damliyordu."

"As he spoke the gleam of the side-lights of a carriage came round the curve of the avenue.It was a smart little landau which rattled up to the door of Briony Lodge. As it pulled up, one of the loafing men at the corner dashed forward to open the door in the hope of earning a copper, but was elbowed away by another loafer, who had rushed up with the same intention. A fierce quarrel broke out, which was increased by the two guardsmen, who took sides with one of the loungers, and by the scissorsgrinder, who was equally hot upon the other side. A blow was struck, and in an instant the lady, who had stepped from her carriage, was the centre of a little knot of flushed and struggling men, who struck savagely at each other with their fists and sticks. Holmes dashed into the crowd to protect the lady; but just as he reached her he gave a cry and dropped to the ground, with the blood running freely down his face."
