** Two reasons: for one thing, Ferrier never showed much propensity for stealth or subtlety, and would have a very hard time sneaking past the people watching his house – even with Jefferson’s help, they nearly got caught slipping away. Secondly, it's likely he was considering Jefferson’s well-being, as well: if Jefferson had shown up and they were already gone, it's likely neither would ever be able to contact the other ever again, and Jefferson could easily have gotten caught in the resulting uproar.

** Keep in mind, the first escape attempt was done with A: everyone in the house itself being in on it, and B: in a house that Ferrier was familiar with in C: a much more remote area that was easier to sneak up to and away from… and ultimately, it still wasn’t good enough. Ferrier may have attempted to rescue Lucy, and maybe he might have succeeded given more time, but Lucy was dead in only a month.

* Jefferson knows Lucy is still alive. Why didn’t he rescue her after her forced marriage? Why jump straight to revenge?

* If Ferrier thought that Lucy would be forcibly married or harm would come to him for not being in a polygamous marriage, why didn't he leave sooner, and why did he wait for Hope to come back to leave with Lucy instead of leaving as soon as he knew Lucy would be forcibly married in 30 days?

* It's also closer in length to a novel than a short story. Not to mention that the short stories are generally of a higher quality than the first two novels.

** I also own two different Holmes collections (one an edition of the Annotated Sherlock Holmes) and have never seen an edition that omits this book. I have seen collections that are more "best ofs" than full collections though. Perhaps the OP had one of those?

**Except it is. I own an anthology passed down to me from my grandmother, which, in two volumes, contains the main canon in the order it was published; another very nice annotated and partially illustrated pair of volumes entitled ''The Novels'' and ''The Stories'' again features ''A Study in Scarlet'' as its first piece.
