Irene Norton, née Adler, is a fictional character in the
Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. She was
featured in the short story "A Scandal in Bohemia", published in July
1891. She is one of the most notable female characters in the Sherlock
Holmes series, despite appearing Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook
PDF) di Joan Quinn in only one story.[1] In derivative works, she is
frequently used as a romantic interest for Holmes, a departure from
Doyle's novels, in which he harbors a platonic admiration for her wit
and cunning.
According to "A Scandal in Bohemia", Adler was born in New
Jersey in 1858. She had Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di
Joan Quinn a career in opera as a contralto, performing at La Scala in
Milan, Italy, and a term as prima donna in the Imperial Opera of Warsaw,
Poland, indicating that she was a talented singer. It was there that
she became the lover of Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand
Duke Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan Quinn of
Cassel-Felstein and King of Bohemia (then only the Crown
Prince),
who was staying in Warsaw for a period. The King describes her as "a
well-known adventuress" (a term widely used at the time in ambiguous
association with "courtesan"[2][3]) and also says that she had "the face
of the most Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan Quinn
beautiful of women and the mind of the most resolute of men". She also
claims to have been trained as an actress and "often" disguised herself
as a man to "take advantage of the freedom which it gives". The King
eventually returned to his court in Prague, while Adler, then Scarica
il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan Quinn in her late twenties,
retired from the opera stage and moved to London.
In 1888, the 30-year-old King intends to marry Clotilde
Lothman von Saxe-Meiningen, second daughter of the King of Scandinavia;
the marriage would be threatened if his prior relationship with Adler
were to come to light.
On 20 Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan
Quinn March, the King makes an incognito visit to Holmes in London. He
asks the famous detective to secure possession of
a previously taken
photograph depicting Adler and the King together. The King hired
burglars to attempt to retrieve it twice, had Adler herself waylaid, and
her luggage stolen, to no Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF)
di Joan Quinn avail. The King explains the situation to Holmes, telling
him that Adler had promised to send a photograph proving their
relationship to his fiance's family if he announced his betrothal. A
disguised Holmes traces Adler's movements, learning of her private life
and, notably, stands witness to her marriage to Scarica il libro About
Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan Quinn Godfrey Norton, an English lawyer.
Holmes describes her as "a lovely woman, with a face a man might die
for". Holmes disguises himself as an elderly cleric and sets up a faked
incident to cause a diversion that is designed to gain him access to
Adler's home and to trick Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di
Joan Quinn her into revealing where the picture is hidden. Adler treats
him kindly as the supposed victim of a crime outside her home. At the
moment she gives away the location
of the photograph, she realises
she has been tricked. She tests her theory that it is indeed Holmes, of
whom Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan Quinn she had
been warned, by disguising herself as a young man and wishing him good
night as he and Watson return to 221B Baker Street.
Holmes visits Adler's home the next morning with Watson and
the King to demand the return of the photograph. He finds Adler gone,
along with Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan Quinn her
new husband and the original photo, which has been replaced with a
photograph of her alone as well as a letter to Holmes. The letter
explains how she had outwitted him, but also that she is happy with her
new husband, who has more honourable feelings than her former Scarica
il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di Joan Quinn lover. Adler adds that
she will not compromise the King and has kept the photo only to protect
herself against any further action the King might take. In the face of
this and the King's statement that it was a
"pity that she was not
on my level", Holmes then Scarica il libro About Us (ePUB iBook PDF) di
Joan Quinn decides that Adler was the wronged party rather than the
King and asks, when offered a reward by the King, only for the
photograph that Adler had left.
In the opening paragraph of the short story, Watson calls
her "the late Joan Quinn", suggesting she is deceased. It has been

however, that the word "late" might actually mean "former". She married
