Answer:

Her features and figure were those of a woman of thirty, but her hair was shot with premature grey, and her expression was weary and haggard. ' Holmes observes several unspoken characteristics of the mysterious woman before she has a chance to tell her story. For instance, Helen is the victim of domestic abuse.

Helen Stoner herself does not have explicit vices mentioned, but the examples given detail other characters who struggle with vices such as laziness, intemperance, overindulgence, rage, and hatred.

The character Helen Stoner from the literary work "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle does not explicitly exhibit personal vices. However, based on the information provided, it seems the question is referring to different characters and their traits or vices.

In the first excerpt, the character displays laziness, intemperance, and a gluttonous enjoyment in overindulgence of food and drink.

In the second excerpt, the character Jane Withersteen struggles with a powerful internal conflict characterized by a moment of intense rage and hatred, which is counter to her usual self, causing her deep concern for her spiritual wellbeing. Both examples show characters grappling with their darker sides or weaknesses.
