In the mystery Silver Blaze, Sherlock Holmes draws the detective’s attention to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time. The detective reminds him that the dog did nothing in the night-time. Holmes replies: That was the curious incident. The incident is an important clue to the mystery’s solution. We draw everyone’s attention to the curious incident of the capuchins.
