Which sentence in this excerpt from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” shows that Watson considered Sherlock Holmes to be a role model?
I had no keener pleasure than in following Holmes in his professional investigations, and in admiring the rapid deductions, as swift as intuitions, and yet always founded on a logical basis with which he unravelled the problems which were submitted to him. I rapidly threw on my clothes and was ready in a few minutes to accompany my friend down to the sitting-room. A lady dressed in black and heavily veiled, who had been sitting in the window, rose as we entered.

"Good-morning, madam," said Holmes cheerily. "My name is Sherlock Holmes. This is my intimate friend and associate, Dr. Watson, before whom you can speak as freely as before myself. Ha! I am glad to see that Mrs. Hudson has had the good sense to light the fire. Pray draw up to it, and I shall order you a cup of hot coffee, for I observe that you are shivering."

"lt is not cold which makes me shiver," said the woman in a low voice, changing her seat as requested.

"What, then?"

"It is fear, Mr. Holmes. It is terror." She raised her veil as she spoke, and we could see that she was indeed in a pitiable state of agitation, her face all drawn and gray, with restless frightened eyes, like those of some hunted animal. Her features and figure were those of a woman of thirty, but her hair was shot with premature gray, and her expression was weary and haggard. Sherlock Holmes ran her over with one of his quick, all-comprehensive glances.

"You must not fear," said he soothingly, bending forward and patting her forearm. "We shall soon set matters right, I have no doubt. You have come in by train this morning, I see."

"You know me, then?"

"No, but I observe the second half of a return ticket in the palm of your left glove. You must have started early, and yet you had a good drive in a dog-cart, along heavy roads, before you reached the station."

:1)¿es similar la historia de los afroecuatorianos a la de otros grupos etnicos del pais ?¿por que?

Answers

The history of the people of African descent in Ecuador is both similar and not similar when compared to the other ethnic groups. The similarity can be seen that as all other ethnic groups, the Afro-Ecuadorians were under the rule of Spain, so they were all together trying to find a way to get free and form an independent country. After the independence was gained, the history is pretty much the same of all ethnic groups in the country. What is not similar is the first part of the history, where the African-Ecuadorians were brought in as slaves. Unlike the other ethnic groups they did not had any rights, and they were actually possession of other people, often treated as objects or animals instead of being treated as all human beings.
