Sherlock Holmes used reason and deduction from minute clues to solve the puzzles with which he was faced. He begins by demonstrating his prowess in this area to his client in this story. He says to Watson-
 

 “Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labour, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing...]]></description>

I thought it as well to have Jones with us also. He is not a bad fellow, though an absolute imbecile in his profession. He has one positive virtue. He is as brave as a bulldog and as tenacious as a lobster if he gets his claws upon anyone. Here we are, and they are waiting for us.  ("The Red-Headed League")

Sherlock Holmes is talking here about Peter Jones, the Scotland Yard police agent who has been pursuing John Clay for some time.  As a...]]></description>

he disliked working with him because his methods were not compatible with those of the Scotland Yard. Often working with a member of the yard hampered Holmes' abilities to solve the case and catch the perpetrator to his satisfaction.
it's B. Holmes is unimpressed, calling Jones "an imbecile in his profession."

        <description><![CDATA[Sherlock Holmes uses his famous "method" of picking up on tiny clues, usually of appearance, to make far-reaching correct deductions about people.  With Jabez Wilson, Holmes is able to make a very clear picture of the pawnbroker's life before the man ever said a word. 
When Watson first sees Mr. Wilson, he is unable to draw many conclusions about the man or his life.

I did not gain very much, however, by my inspection. Our visitor bore...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I think the author, in the persona of Dr. Watson, acts as a "foil" to Sherlock Holmes in all the stories.  This is a literary term that has two meaning.  First, a foil may be present to "offset" the character of the protagonist, in this case, Holmes.  Second, the foil might act as device to somehow "spoil" the actions of the protagonist. 
In this case, Watson is a foil in the first sense of the term.  Without Watson's inability to think...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm assuming that this question is as obvious as it sounds.  Dr. John Watson, Holmes' sidekick, medical adviser, and security backup, ever-ready with his Army service revolver, is the main assistance for Holmes.  Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard makes appearances in some stories, but not this one.  To say that Watson "helps" Holmes is a bit misleading; most of the time Holmes does the solving, and Watson isn't let in on the solution of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Jabez Wilson was a fictional pawnbroker from the story who owned a pawn shop in Saxe-Coburg. He was able to land a high-paying position in the Red-Headed League thanks to his fiery red hair. Unbeknownst to him, however, the league was in fact a ruse created by the criminals John Clay, who was in his employ under the pseudonym Vincent Spaulding, and William Morris, to keep him occupied while they attempted to use his pawn shop in a plot to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have always found the response "So?" to be really annoying for the person trying it on. They get sick of the repetition plus it gives you something to say. Not saying anything usually just makes someone try even harder to find something that will get under your skin. If they think you find their childish antics boring then they should eventually give up.
Be prepared for the fact that they will probably just keep trying to get you to respond....]]></description>
