" To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer.
— First lines of the story describing Sherlock Holmes' feelings about Irene Adler 		"

A Scandal in Bohemia is the first short-story from the twelve in the cycle collected as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in The Strand Magazine in June, 1891.
