Life for working people in Britain in the first half of the

18 Used to (do) Second exercise



nineteenth century was very hard. They used to live in

small, very crowded houses, and many families used to

have only one room. Houses water, so people it from a

river, or from a tap in the street. In the poor parts of

towns, the streets were very narrow and very dark

because there any street lights. And in the towns,

diseases very quickly through polluted water, and many

babies and children .

In the towns, many men, women and children early and

then work long hours in factories. Men and women worked

at the machines, and children the floor. Some people had

awful accidents with the factory machines, as there any

laws about safety in factories or other workplaces. Most

children to school as their families couldn’t afford to send

them.

Fortunately, in the second half of the nineteenth century

conditions improved. Laws limited the hours women and

children could work. Later, all children from five to ten had

to go to school. However, until 1918 some children in

factories before and after school. Town councils had to

clean the streets, supply fresh water and a sewage

system. People began to live longer and to enjoy easier

lives.

However, Doyle didn't think his Sherlock Holmes stories were the most

significant of his works. He preferred to write historical novels such as

The White Company and The Great Shadow which were more

serious . But the public loved Sherlock Holmes and these stories

were certainly more popular than his other books. In 1893 Doyle tried

to 'kill' Sherlock Holmes in The Final Problem. However, Sherlock Holmes

was the most successful character in fiction at the time and the

public wanted more. Therefore, Holmes returned in the most exciting

story ever - The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Doyle was a doctor at the time, and although he only received £25 for

his story he went on to make the most difficult decision of his life

– to continue writing. His next novel, The Sign of Four was followed by

many more, as Doyle decided he wanted to become one of the biggest

names in English literature.

The first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet ,

appeared in 1887. It was a great success. Perhaps the

most important reason for the popularity of the

story was the character of Sherlock Holmes. He was

cleverer than any other detective hero,

and more mysterious , too.

any other crime writer in history. He wrote sixty shortstories and four novels about Sherlock Holmes, who is

today one of the most popular detective heroes in

crime fiction.
