B8E10 - His Last Bow - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - Book 8, Part 2, Episode 10 Title: His Last Bow Overview: His Last Bow, née His Last Bow: Some (Later) Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes is a 1917 collection of previously published Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, including the titular short story, "His Last Bow: The War Service of Sherlock Holmes" (1917). The collection's first US edition adjusts the anthology's subtitle to Some Later Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes. All editions contain a brief preface, by John H. Watson, M.D. as follows. "The friends of Mr. Sherlock Holmes will be glad to learn that he is still alive and well, though somewhat crippled by occasional attacks of rheumatism. He has, for many years, lived in a small farm upon the Downs five miles from Eastbourne, where his time is divided between philosophy and agriculture. During this period of rest he has refused the most princely offers to take up various cases, having determined that his retirement was a permanent one. The approach of the German war caused him, however, to lay his remarkable combination of intellectual and practical activity at the disposal of the Government, with historical results which are recounted in His Last Bow. Several previous experiences which have lain long in my portfolio have been added to His Last Bow so as to complete the volume." His Last Bow is composed of 10 episodes née chapters with the first two episodes being a lengthy, two-part story consisting of The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge: B8E1 - The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles, B8E2 - The Tiger of San Pedro, B8E3 - The Adventure of The Cardboard Box, B8E4 - The Adventure of the Red Circle - Part 1, B8E5 - The Adventure of the Red Circle - Part 2, B8E6 - The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans, B8E7 - The Adventure of the Dying Detective, B8E8 - The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax, B8E9 - The Adventure of the Devil's Foot, and B8E10 - His Last Bow: The War Service of Sherlock Holmes.
