rdfs:comment
  • "The Five Orange Pips" is one of the cases of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the fifth of the twelve stories that are collected as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It was first published in The Strand Magazine in November 1891.
  • In the story, a young man named John Openshaw approaches the brilliant consulting detective Sherlock Holmes for help and advice. Both John Openshaw's uncle Elias Openshaw and his father Joseph Openshaw had died shortly after receiving envelopes which contained five orange pips. Although Elias Openshaw's death was ruled suicide and Joseph Openshaw's death was ruled accidental, John believes that the two men were murdered. The day before he went to see Sherlock Holmes, John Openshaw also received five orange pips in the mail. Sherlock Holmes recognizes the significance of the fact that John's uncle Elias Openshaw spent several years in the Southern United States of America, became a colonel in the Confederate Army and suddenly returned to England in 1869.
