[edit] "adventuress"

From http://sherlockholmes.stanford.edu/ (download the pdf, look in the end notes) "Irene Adler resembles British actress Lily Langtry (1853-1925), who had an affair with the Prince of Wales. Other sources have been suggested for her character as well. Calling her an “adventuress” (meaning a “gold-digger”) is more than a little insulting."

I removed the speculation that she may have died from a (future) adventure since that is not what the word "adventuress" suggests.Bitethesilverbullet 14:52, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
