As a result, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, a twenty- year-old teacher, arrived at the Kellers’ home in Alabama. Sullivan herself had been both treated and educated at the Perkins Institute in Boston, where she had partially recovered her sight. Helen Keller herseif said that the most important day of her entire life was the one on which her teacher arrived.

Anne replied by placing her hand over Helen’s heart and said, ‘It is here’. Helen became confused and started asking lots of questions in order to discover what ‘love’ actually was. Unfortunately, despite her teacher's responses, she could not understand and became very impatient. ‘Aday or so later, when Helen was trying to string some beads of various sizes together, her teacher touched her forehead and fingerspelt the word ‘think’. Helen instantly realised that this was the name of the abstract process that was going on inher head. in the same way, she tried to find the meaning of the word ‘ove’.

Choose from Bot ne Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) was a Scottish writer and physician well known for his erime stories featuring the characters of Sherlock Holmes, a detective, and Dr Watson, Holmes’ assistant.

There is actually 4 Baker Street, (2) probably because of the Sherlock Holmes crime stories, but the street numbers Went up to 100 at the time Holmes’ home was created. Therefore, there was no number 221B until the street was extended in 1932. Then the Abbey National Building Society took residence at 219-229 Baker Street and soon afterwards started receiving mail addressed to Sherlock Holmes.

As a result, the issue of who would receive and reply to Sherlock Holmes’ letters became a GOftHOVERSIA issue between the museum and the Abbey National. This argument would last more than ten years, after which the Abbey National moved from the premises, and consequently, the mail addressed to 221 Baker Street (5) The Sherlock Holmes Museum later requested permission, which was granted, to use 221 Baker Street as their address even though the building is still between 237 and 241 Baker Street Another f286iH8Ei88 point is that there is a replica of Holmes’ flat in the museum, (6) Collectors have managed to reproduce @ flat furnished with Holmes’ armchair and anything they believe one would find in Holmes’ home.
