A big table in the centre was cluttered with various items, while a strong microscope's tall metal tube bristled up amid them. There was a flint instrument cabinet. A vast closet of fossil bone stood behind his central table, and over it was a line of plaster skulls.

20. What Was Inside the Envelope?

Ans: Holmes took an envelope from his pocket with some handwritten notes from the dossier, which said that Holmes was forty-four years old, a Chicago native, and was suspected of shooting three individuals in the United States.
