    Redmond's Delicate Question

    This story is often said to be full of "gothic" elements, starting with the innocent maiden in the big creepy house. (It's not unique: other Canonical tales, such as "Shoscombe Old Place", are also gothic in their way.) If it's a gothic, can it also be a detective story? And why does Arthur Conan Doyle think red hair is so funny, anyway?
