For instance, in " The Adventure of the Three Garridebs ", Watson is wounded in a confrontation with a villain ; although the bullet wound proves to be " quite superficial ", Watson is moved by Holmes's reaction:

Only one adventure, " The Adventure of the Lion's Mane ", which is narrated by Holmes as he pursues the case as a civilian, takes place during the detective's retirement.

The detective is often described as starving himself at times of intense intellectual activity, such as during " The Adventure of the Norwood Builder ", wherein, according to Watson:

Holmes himself references Watson's moderation in " The Adventure of the Devil's Foot ", saying, " I think, Watson, that I shall resume that course of tobacco-poisoning which you have so often and so justly condemned ".

Although he initially needed Watson to share the rent of his comfortable residence at 221B Baker Street, Watson reveals in " The Adventure of the Dying Detective ", when Holmes was living alone, that " I have no doubt that the house might have been purchased at the price which Holmes paid for his rooms ," suggesting he had developed a good income from his practice, although it is seldom revealed exactly how much he charges for his services.

For example, in " The Final Problem ", Holmes states that his services to the government of France and the royal house of Scandinavia had left him with enough money to retire comfortably, while in " The Adventure of Black Peter ", Watson notes that Holmes would refuse to help the wealthy and powerful if their cases did not interest him, while he could devote weeks at a time to the cases of the most humble clients.

Holmes also tells Watson, in " A Case of Identity ", of a golden snuff box received from the King of Bohemia after " A Scandal in Bohemia " and a fabulous ring from the Dutch royal family ; in " The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans ", Holmes receives an emerald tie-pin from Queen Victoria.

In " The Adventure of the Priory School ", Holmes rubs his hands with glee when the Duke of Holdernesse notes the 6, 000 pound sterling sum, which surprises even Watson, and then pats the cheque, saying, " I am a poor man ", an incident that could be dismissed as representative of Holmes's tendency toward sarcastic humour.

In several stories, he adopts disguises to gather evidence while ' under cover ' so convincing that even Watson fails to penetrate them, such as in " The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton ", " The Man with the Twisted Lip ", " The Adventure of the Empty House " and " A Scandal in Bohemia ".

Holmes has been known to charge clients for his expenses, and to claim any reward that might be offered for the problem's solution: he says in " The Adventure of the Speckled Band " that Miss Stoner may pay any expenses he may be put to, and requests that the bank in " The Red-Headed League " remunerate him for the money he spent solving the case.

Holmes has his wealthy banker client in " The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet " pay him for the costs of recovering the stolen gems and also claims the reward the banker had put for their recovery.

In one story, " The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton ," Holmes is engaged to be married, but only to gain information for his case.

Although Holmes appears to show initial interest in some female clients ( in particular, Violet Hunter in " The Adventure of the Copper Beeches "), Watson says he inevitably " manifested no further interest in the client when once she had ceased to be the centre of one of his problems ".

Watson writes in " The Adventure of the Dying Detective " that Mrs. Hudson is fond of Holmes in her own way, despite his bothersome eccentricities as a lodger, owing to his " remarkable gentleness and courtesy in his dealings with women ".

Yet Doyle is careful not to present Holmes as infallible — a central theme in " The Adventure of the Yellow Face ".

In other adventures, Holmes feigns being wounded or ill to give effect to his case, or to incriminate those involved, as in " The Adventure of the Dying Detective " and " A Scandal in Bohemia ".

Meanwhile, the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, created by Arthur Conan Doyle, is a spyhunter for Britain in the stories " The Adventure of the Second Stain " ( 1904 ), and " The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans " ( 1912 ).
