1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,100 Section 10 of the casebook of Sherlock Holmes by Sir. 2 00:00:04,100 --> 00:00:07,500 Arthur Conan Doyle this Le Gama's recording. 3 00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:11,100 May be distributed and adapted freely for any purpose. 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,100 The adventure of the creeping man. 5 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,800 Mr. Sherlock Holmes was always of opinion that I should publish 6 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:25,700 the singular facts connected with Professor presbury, if only 7 00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:30,500 to dispel once for all the ugly rumors, which some 20 years ago, 8 00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:34,700 agitated the university and were echoed in the Learned societies 9 00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:38,200 of London. There were however certain 10 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,400 obstacles in the way and the true history of this Curious 11 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,000 Case, remained entombed in the tin box, which contains Many 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,200 records of my friends Adventures. 13 00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:54,200 Now, we have at last obtained permission, to ventilate the 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,400 facts, which formed one of the very last cases handled by homes 15 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,700 before his retirement from practice. 16 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:06,300 Even now A Certain reticence and discretion have to be observed 17 00:01:06,300 --> 00:01:08,500 in laying the matter before the public. 18 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,800 It was one Sunday evening early in September of the Year 1903 19 00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,800 that I received one of Holmes's laconic messages. 20 00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:24,200 Come at once. If convenient, if inconvenient 21 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,200 come all the same, sh. The relations between us in 22 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,400 those latter days were peculiar. He was a man of habits narrow, 23 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,600 and concentrated habits, and I had become one of them as an 24 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,000 institution. I was like the violin, the Shag 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,300 tobacco, the old black pipe, the index books, and others, perhaps 26 00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,100 less excusable. When it was a case of active 27 00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:56,300 work and a comrade was needed upon whose nerve. 28 00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:01,500 He could play some Reliance, my role was obvious, but apart from 29 00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:06,200 this, I had uses. I was a whetstone for his mind. 30 00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:09,600 I stimulated him. He liked to think aloud in my 31 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,000 presence. His remarks could hardly be 32 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,400 said, to be made to me, many of them would have been as 33 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,200 appropriately addressed to his bedstead, but nonetheless, 34 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,500 having formed, the Puppet. It had become in some way 35 00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:27,100 helpful that I should register and interject. 36 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,400 If I irritated him by a certain methodical slowness in my 37 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,800 mentality that irritation served only to make his own flame like 38 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,700 intuitions and Impressions. Flash up the more vividly and 39 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:46,400 swiftly such was my humble role in our alliance. 40 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,400 When I arrived at Baker Street, I found him huddled up in his 41 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,400 armchair with up drawn. He's his pipe in his mouth and 42 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,100 his brow furrowed with thought it was clear that he was in the 43 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:04,800 throes of some vexatious problem with a wave of his hand. 44 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,000 He indicated my old armchair. But otherwise for half an hour, 45 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,500 he gave no sign that he was aware of my presence. 46 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,500 Then with a start, he seemed to come back from his reverie and 47 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,100 With his usual Whimsical smile. He greeted me back to what had 48 00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:26,700 once been my home. You will excuse a certain 49 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,400 abstraction of mind. My dear Watson said, he, some 50 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,700 Curious facts have been submitted to me, within the last 51 00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:40,600 24 hours and then turn have given rise to some, speculations 52 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,200 of a more general or character. I have serious thoughts of 53 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,300 writing a small monograph upon the you uses of dogs in the work 54 00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:53,200 of the detective. That surely hums. 55 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,500 This has been explored. Said, I Bloodhounds sleuth 56 00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,000 hands. No, no Watson. 57 00:04:00,300 --> 00:04:04,200 That side of the matter is, of course, obvious, but there is 58 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,400 another, Which is far more subtle. 59 00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:10,900 You may recollect that in the case, which you in your 60 00:04:10,900 --> 00:04:14,700 Sensational way, coupled with the copper beeches. 61 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:20,200 I was able by watching the mind of the child to form a deduction 62 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,000 as to the criminal. Habits of the very Smog and 63 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,600 respectable. Father. 64 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:26,700 Yes. I remember it. 65 00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:31,000 Well. My line of thoughts about dogs 66 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,300 is analogous a dog reflects the Family Life who ever saw a 67 00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:42,500 frisky, dog in a gloomy family, or a sad, dog in a happy one 68 00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:48,300 snarling, people have snarling dogs, dangerous people, have 69 00:04:48,300 --> 00:04:53,000 Dangerous Ones and they're passing moods, May reflect the 70 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,400 passing moods of others. I shook my head, Shirley hums. 71 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:03,100 This is a little far-fetched said, I, he had refilled his 72 00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:06,500 pipe and resumed his seat, taking, no, notice of my 73 00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:10,100 comment. The practical application of 74 00:05:10,100 --> 00:05:12,900 what I've said, is very close to the problem, which I am 75 00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:16,800 investigating. It is a tangled skein. 76 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,900 You understand? And I am looking for a loose 77 00:05:19,900 --> 00:05:24,800 end, one possible loose, end lies in the question. 78 00:05:25,300 --> 00:05:30,100 Why does Professor press / is Wolfhound Roy Endeavor to bite 79 00:05:30,100 --> 00:05:34,100 him? I sank back in my chair and some 80 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:36,200 disappointment. Was it for. 81 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,800 So trivial a question as this that I had been summoned from my 82 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:45,200 work Holmes glanced across at me the same old. 83 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,400 Watson said he, you'll never learn that the gravest issues 84 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,000 may depend upon the smallest things. 85 00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:59,200 But is it not on the face of it strange that a stayed elderly 86 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,000 philosopher? You've heard of presbury, of 87 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,800 course the famous camford physiologist that such a man 88 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,600 whose friend has been his devoted Wolfhound should now 89 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,000 have been twice at act by his own, dog. 90 00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:18,100 What do you make of it? The dog is ill. 91 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,400 Well that has to be considered but he attacks no one else. 92 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,400 Nor does he apparently molest his master save on very special 93 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:36,100 occasions, curious Watson, very curious, but young. 94 00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:39,700 Mr. Bennet is before his time. If that is his ring. 95 00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:43,700 I had hoped to have a longer chat with you before he came. 96 00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:48,700 There was a quick step on the stairs, a sharp tap at the door 97 00:06:48,900 --> 00:06:52,300 and a moment later as a new client presented himself. 98 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,400 He was a tall handsome youth about 30 well-dressed and 99 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,900 elegant but was something in his bearing which suggested the 100 00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:04,500 shyness of the student rather than the self possession of the 101 00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:08,100 man of the world. He shook hands, with homes, and 102 00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:10,500 then looked with some surprise me. 103 00:07:12,100 --> 00:07:14,800 This matter is very delicate. Mr. Holmes. 104 00:07:14,900 --> 00:07:18,800 He said consider the relation in which I stand to Professor 105 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,300 presbury, both privately and publicly. 106 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,000 I really can hardly justify myself. 107 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,200 If I speak before, any third person have no fear. 108 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,600 Mr. Bennett. Dr. Watson is the very soul of 109 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,700 discretion and I can assure you that this is a matter in which I 110 00:07:35,700 --> 00:07:38,400 am very likely to need an assistant. 111 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,000 As you like mr. Holmes, a William sure, 112 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,700 understand my having some reserves in the matter. 113 00:07:47,500 --> 00:07:50,500 You will appreciate it. What's and when I tell you that 114 00:07:50,500 --> 00:07:54,600 this gentleman, mr. Trevor Bennett is professional 115 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,300 assistant to the great scientist lives under his roof and is 116 00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:04,400 engaged to his only daughter. Certainly, we must agree that 117 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,700 the professor has every claim upon his loyalty and devotion, 118 00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:13,500 but it may best be shown by taking the necessary steps to 119 00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:18,200 clear up this strange mystery. I hope so. 120 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,700 Mr. Holmes. That is my one object does dr. 121 00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:26,200 Watson knows our situation. I have not had time to explain 122 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,200 it then perhaps I had better go over the ground again before 123 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,100 explaining some fresh developments. 124 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:37,000 I will do. So myself said Holmes in order 125 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,799 to show that I have the events in there, do order the professor 126 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:45,900 Watson is a man of European reputation his life. 127 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:49,800 Has been academic there has never been a breath of Scandal. 128 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,400 He is a widower with one daughter Edith. 129 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000 He is I gather a man of very very Island positive. 130 00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,100 One might almost say combative character. 131 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,600 So the matter stood until a very few months ago, then the current 132 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:13,300 of his life was broken. He is 61 years of age, but he 133 00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:16,000 became engaged to the daughter of Professor. 134 00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:20,300 Morphe his colleague in the chair of comparative Anatomy. 135 00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:24,500 It was not. As I understand the reason 136 00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:29,400 courting of an elderly man, but rather the passionate frenzy of 137 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,100 Youth for no one could have shown himself a more devoted 138 00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:36,800 lover. The lady Alice more Foo was a 139 00:09:36,808 --> 00:09:40,100 very perfect girl, both in mind and body. 140 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,600 So that there was every excuse for the professor's infatuation. 141 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,900 Nonetheless. Yes, it did not meet with full 142 00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:53,000 approval in his own family. We thought it rather excessive 143 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:59,000 said our visitor, exactly excessive and a little violent 144 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,300 and unnatural. Professor presbury was rich, 145 00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:06,500 however, and there was no objection on the part of the 146 00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:11,400 Father, the daughter however had other views and there were 147 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,600 already several candidates for her hand. 148 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,100 Who if they were less? Eligible from a worldly point of 149 00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,000 view were at least more of an age. 150 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,900 The girls seem to like the professor in spite of his 151 00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:28,500 eccentricities. It was only age which stood in 152 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:32,600 the way. Apart this time, a little 153 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,000 mystery suddenly clouded the normal routine of the 154 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,400 professor's life. He did what he had never done 155 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,600 before. He left home and gave no 156 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,500 indication where he was going. He was aware of fortnight and 157 00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,000 returned looking rather travel-worn. 158 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,500 He made no allusion to where he had been, although he was 159 00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:58,300 usually the frankest of men it chanced. 160 00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:03,200 However, that our client, Mr. Bennett received a letter from a 161 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,000 fellow student, in Prague who said that he was glad to have 162 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,800 seen Professor presbury. Tha although he had not been 163 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,500 able to talk to him, only in this way. 164 00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:19,800 Did his own household learn where he had been now comes the 165 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,900 point from that time, onward. A curious change came over the 166 00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:29,100 professor. He became furtive and sly. 167 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,300 Those around him. Had always the feeling that he 168 00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:37,300 was not the man, they had known but that he was under some 169 00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:40,500 Shadow which had darkened his higher qualities. 170 00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:45,300 His intellect was not affected. His lectures were as brilliant 171 00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:50,400 as ever, but always there was something new, something 172 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:55,700 sinister, and unexpected his daughter who was devoted to him, 173 00:11:55,900 --> 00:11:59,700 tried again and again, to resume the old relations. 174 00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:03,500 And to penetrate this mask, which her father seemed to have 175 00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:10,000 put on user as I understand, did the same, but all was in vain 176 00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:14,900 and now mr. Bennett tell in your own words, 177 00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:19,500 the incident of the letters. Ayo, must understand. 178 00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:22,800 Dr. Watson that the professor had no secrets from me. 179 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,500 If I were his son or his younger brother. 180 00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:29,600 I could not have more completely enjoyed his confidence as his 181 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,900 secretary. I handled every paper which came 182 00:12:31,900 --> 00:12:36,500 to him and I opened and subdivided his letters, shortly 183 00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:39,700 after his return. All this was changed. 184 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,500 He told me that certain letters might come to him from London, 185 00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:46,500 which would be marked by a cross under the stamp. 186 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,400 These were to be set. Site for his own eyes. 187 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,200 Only. I may say that several of these 188 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:56,700 did passed through my hands that they had the EC Mark and were in 189 00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:00,800 an illiterate handwriting. If he answered them at all. 190 00:13:00,900 --> 00:13:04,700 The answers did not pass through my hands nor into the letter 191 00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,700 Basket in which our correspondence was collected. 192 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,100 And the Box said, Holmes is the Box. 193 00:13:13,700 --> 00:13:16,500 The professor brought back a little wooden box from his 194 00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:18,900 travels. It was the one thing which 195 00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:22,700 suggested a continental tour for, it was one of those quaint 196 00:13:22,700 --> 00:13:24,800 carved things. Which one Associates with 197 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,000 Germany. This he placed in his instrument 198 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,200 cupboard, one day and looking for a cannula. 199 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,200 I took up the box to my surprise. 200 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,700 He was very angry and reproved me in words that were quite 201 00:13:37,700 --> 00:13:41,800 Savage. My curiosity it was the first 202 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,300 time such a thing has happened and I was deeply hurt. 203 00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:48,900 I endeavoured to explain that. It was a mere accident that I 204 00:13:48,908 --> 00:13:51,800 had touched a box, but all the evening. 205 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,900 I was conscious that he looked at me harshly and that the 206 00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:57,200 incident was rankling in his mind. 207 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,200 Mr. Bennett drew, a little Diary book from his pocket that was on 208 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,600 July. The second said, he you are 209 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,300 certainly an admirable, witness said Holmes. 210 00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:12,300 Yes, I may need some of these dates, which you have noted. 211 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,200 I learned method among other things from my great teacher 212 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,300 from the time that I observed abnormality in his behavior. 213 00:14:20,300 --> 00:14:23,200 I felt that it was my duty to study his case. 214 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,100 Thus I have it here that it was on that very day, July the 215 00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:30,800 second that Roy attacked the professor as he came from his 216 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,800 study into the Hall. Again, on July the 11th. 217 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,300 There was a scene of the same sort, and then I have a note of 218 00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:40,500 yet, another upon July, the 20th. 219 00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:44,500 After that, we had to banish Roy to The Stables. 220 00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:49,800 He was a dear affectionate animal, but I fear, I worried, 221 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,900 you. Mr. Bennet spoken at tone of 222 00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:57,000 reproach for it was very clear that Holmes was not listening. 223 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,400 His face was rigid and his eyes gazed abstractedly at the 224 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,500 ceiling. With an effort to recovered 225 00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:10,300 himself singular, most singular. He murmured. 226 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000 These details were new to me. Mr. Bennett. 227 00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,900 I think we have now fairly gone over the old Grand have we not 228 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:22,400 but you spoke of some fresh developments. 229 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,200 The pleasant open face of our visitor clouded over shadowed by 230 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,100 some Grim. Remembrance? 231 00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:33,000 What? I speak of occurred the night 232 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,400 before. Last said he, I was lying awake 233 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,500 about two in the morning when I was aware of a dull muffled 234 00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:44,300 sound coming from the passage. I opened my door and peeped out. 235 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,500 I should explain that the professor's sleeps at the end of 236 00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:51,100 the passage. The date being asked Holmes. 237 00:15:51,500 --> 00:15:55,300 Our visitor was clearly annoyed. So irrelevant and Interruption. 238 00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:58,200 I have said said that it was the night before. 239 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,900 Last that is September. The 4th Holmes, nodded and 240 00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:07,400 smiled. Pray, continue said he, he 241 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,700 sleeps at the end of the passage and would have to pass my door 242 00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:15,000 in order to reach the staircase. It was a really terrifying 243 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,400 experience. Mr. Holmes. 244 00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:18,900 I think that I am a strong nerve. 245 00:16:18,900 --> 00:16:22,300 Does my neighbors, but I was shaken by what I saw. 246 00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,100 The passage was dark said that one window halfway along it 247 00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:30,800 through a patch of light. I could see that something was 248 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,600 coming along the passage, something dark and crouching 249 00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:39,200 then suddenly it emerged into the light and I saw that it was 250 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,400 he, he was crawling mr. Harms crawling. 251 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,100 He was not quite on his hands and knees. 252 00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:51,700 I should rather say on his hands and feet with his face, sunk 253 00:16:51,700 --> 00:16:55,700 between his hands. It is seem to move with ease. 254 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:59,600 I was so paralyzed by the sight that it was not until he had 255 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,700 reached my door that I was able to step forward and asked if I 256 00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:06,599 could assist him. His answer was extraordinary. 257 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,800 He sprang up, stat out some atrocious word at me and hurried 258 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,300 on past me and down the staircase I waited for about an 259 00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:20,500 hour, but he did not come back. It must have been daylight 260 00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:26,000 before he regained his room. Well Watson, what make you of 261 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,500 that asked Holmes with the air of the pathologist who presents 262 00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,700 a rare specimen? Bombay. 263 00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:37,600 Go possibly, I have known a severe attack. 264 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,400 Make a man walking just such a way and nothing would be more 265 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,000 trying to The Temper. Good Watson. 266 00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:50,500 You always keep us flat-footed on the ground, but we can hardly 267 00:17:50,500 --> 00:17:55,300 accept and they go since he was able to stand erect in a moment. 268 00:17:56,100 --> 00:17:58,900 He was never better in health said, Bennett. 269 00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:03,300 In fact, he is stronger than I have known him for years, but 270 00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:05,200 there are the facts. Mr. Holmes. 271 00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:08,700 It is not a case in which we can consult the police. 272 00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:11,900 And yet we are utterly at our wits end as to what to do. 273 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,200 And we feel in some strange way that we are drifting towards 274 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:22,000 disaster, Edith, Miss presbury. Feels as I do that, we cannot 275 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,700 wait passively any longer. It is certainly a very curious 276 00:18:26,700 --> 00:18:30,000 and suggestive case. What do you think? 277 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,400 Watson speaking as a medical man said I it appears to be a case 278 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,600 for an alienist. The Old Gentleman cerebral 279 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,300 processes were disturbed by the love affair. 280 00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:45,700 He made a journey abroad in the hope of breaking himself of the 281 00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:49,400 passion, his letters. And the Box may be connected 282 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,200 with some other private transaction alone, perhaps or 283 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,400 share certificate. That chair in the Box. 284 00:18:56,700 --> 00:19:01,100 And the Wolfhound, no doubt, disapproved of the financial. 285 00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:04,000 Bargain. No, no Watson. 286 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,900 There is more in it than this. Now. 287 00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:12,100 I can only suggest what Sherlock Holmes was about to suggest will 288 00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:16,300 never be known for at this moment, the door opened and a 289 00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:19,800 young lady was shown into the room as she appeared. 290 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,900 Mr. Bennett sprang up with a cry and ran forward with his hands 291 00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:26,200 out to meet those, which she had herself. 292 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,800 Stretched Edith, dear nothing, the matter. 293 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,700 I hope I felt I must follow you. Oh, Jack. 294 00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:35,700 I've been so dreadfully. Frightened. 295 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,500 It is awful to be there alone. Mr. Holmes. 296 00:19:39,500 --> 00:19:43,100 This is the young lady. I spoke of this is my fiance. 297 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,100 We were gradually coming to that conclusion. 298 00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:50,500 For we not Watson Holmes answered with a smile. 299 00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,900 I take it. Miss prestbury that there is 300 00:19:53,900 --> 00:19:56,200 some fresh development. In the case. 301 00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:58,000 Us and that you thought we should know. 302 00:19:59,100 --> 00:20:03,000 Our new visitor, a bright handsome, girl of a conventional 303 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,700 English type smiled back at homes as she seated herself 304 00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:10,100 beside. Mr. Bennett when I found mr. 305 00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:13,000 Bennett had left his hotel, like thought I should probably find 306 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,600 him here. Of course. 307 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,700 He had told me that he would consult you. 308 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,800 But oh, mr. Holmes. 309 00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:21,500 Can you do nothing for my poor father? 310 00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:26,900 I have hopes Miss presbury but the case is still obscure. 311 00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:31,200 Perhaps, what you have to say me, throw some fresh light upon 312 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,200 it. It was not night. 313 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,800 Mr. Holmes. He had been very strange all 314 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,100 day. I'm sure that there are times 315 00:20:39,100 --> 00:20:41,500 when he has no recollection of what he does. 316 00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:46,500 He lives as in a strange dream. Yesterday was such a day. 317 00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:50,900 It was not my father. With whom I lived is outward 318 00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:53,600 shell was there, but it was not really he. 319 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,800 Tell me what happened. I was awakened in the Night by 320 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,500 the dog barking. Most furiously poor Roy. 321 00:21:02,700 --> 00:21:05,100 He is Chained now near the stable. 322 00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:10,600 I may say that I always sleep with my door locked for a stack. 323 00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:13,600 As mr. Bennet will tell you we all have 324 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,800 a feeling of impending danger. My room is on the second floor. 325 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,700 It happened that the blind was up in my window and there was 326 00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:27,500 bright Moonlight outside. As I lay with my eyes fixed upon 327 00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:31,200 the square of light listening to the frenzied parkings of the 328 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,700 dog. I was amazed to see my father's 329 00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:38,100 face looking in at me. Mr. Holmes. 330 00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:41,200 I nearly died of surprise, and horror there. 331 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,600 It was pressed against the window pane. 332 00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:47,400 And one hand seem to be raised as, if the push up the window. 333 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,100 His that window had opened. I think I should have gone mad. 334 00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:57,200 It was no delusion. Holmes did deceive Yourself by 335 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,700 thinking so I guess it was 20 seconds or so that I like 336 00:22:01,700 --> 00:22:06,100 paralyzed and watch the face, then it vanished. 337 00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:09,900 But I could not, I could not spring out of bed. 338 00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:13,000 And look after it. I'll a cold and shivering. 339 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,400 Till morning at breakfast. He was sharp and fierce in 340 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,800 Manner and made no allusion to the adventure of the night. 341 00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:24,400 Neither. Did I, but I gave an excuse for 342 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,400 coming. To town. 343 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,100 And here I am. Holmes looked thoroughly 344 00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:31,600 surprised at Miss presbury's narrative. 345 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,500 My dear young lady. You say that your room is on the 346 00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:39,700 second floor. Is there a long ladder in the 347 00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:41,600 garden? No, mr. 348 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,200 Holmes. That is the amazing part of it. 349 00:22:44,700 --> 00:22:49,000 There is no possible way of reaching the window and yet he 350 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,400 was there. The date being September, the 351 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,700 5th said, Holmes, that certainly complicates matters. 352 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,000 It was the young lady's turn to look surprised. 353 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,400 This is the second time that you have alluded to the date. 354 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,400 Mr. Holmes said Bennett. Is it possible that it has any 355 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:16,100 bearing upon the case? It is possible, very possible. 356 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,500 And yet, I have not my full material at present. 357 00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:24,800 Possibly, I thinking of the connection between insanity and 358 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,900 phases of the moon. No, I'll show you. 359 00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,900 It was quite a different line of thought. 360 00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,400 Possibly. You can leave your notebook with 361 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,700 me and I will check the dates now. 362 00:23:37,700 --> 00:23:42,400 I think Watson that our line of action is perfectly clear. 363 00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:47,100 This young lady has informed us and I have the greatest 364 00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:51,000 confidence in her intuition. That her, father remembers 365 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,600 little or nothing which occurs upon certain dates. 366 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,300 We will therefore call upon him as if he had given us an 367 00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:03,100 appointment upon such a date. He will put it down to his own 368 00:24:03,100 --> 00:24:07,200 lack of memory. Thus, we will open our campaign 369 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,500 by having a good close view of him. 370 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,400 That is excellent said, mr. Bennett. 371 00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:17,200 I warn you, however, that the professor is irascible and 372 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,500 violent at times, Holmes smiled. There are reasons why we should 373 00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:25,500 come at once very cogent reasons. 374 00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:28,900 If my Theory's, hold good tomorrow. 375 00:24:28,900 --> 00:24:32,200 Mr. Bennet will certainly see us in camford. 376 00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:37,500 There is if I remember, right? And in called the checkers, 377 00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:40,300 where the port used to be above mediocrity. 378 00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:42,900 And the linen was above reproach. 379 00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:47,200 I think Watson that are a lot for the next few days. 380 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,900 Might lie and Less Pleasant places. 381 00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:56,100 Monday morning found us on our way to the famous University 382 00:24:56,100 --> 00:25:00,800 Town, an easy effort on the part of Holmes who had no root to 383 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,000 pull up but one which involved frantic planning and hurrying on 384 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,600 my part as my practice was by this time not in considerable. 385 00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:13,600 Holmes made no allusion to the case until after. 386 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,200 We had deposited our suitcases at the ancient hostel of which 387 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,800 he had spoken. I think Watson that we can catch 388 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:26,500 the professor just before lunch. He lectured at 11 and should 389 00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:30,900 have an interval at home. What possible excuse have way 390 00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:34,400 for calling Holmes, glanced at his notebook. 391 00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:39,000 There was a period of excitement upon August the 26th. 392 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,100 We will assume that he is a little hazy as to what he does 393 00:25:43,100 --> 00:25:47,200 at such times. If we insist that we are there 394 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,300 by appointment to I think he will hardly venture to 395 00:25:50,300 --> 00:25:53,300 contradict ters. Have you the effrontery 396 00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:56,600 necessary to put it through? We can. 397 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:02,200 But try excellent Watson, compound The Busy Bee and 398 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:08,500 Excelsior we can. But try the motto of the firm, a 399 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:10,900 friendly native will surely guide us. 400 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,600 Such a one on the back of a smart handsome, sweaters, past a 401 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,100 row of ancient colleges, and finally, turning into a tree 402 00:26:20,100 --> 00:26:24,200 lined Drive, pulled up at the door of a Charming house Gert, 403 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,400 round with Lawns and covered with purple. 404 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,600 Wysteria. Professor presbury, was 405 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,000 certainly surrounded with every sign. 406 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,600 Not only of comfort but of luxury. 407 00:26:35,700 --> 00:26:39,300 Even as we pulled up a grizzled head appeared at the front 408 00:26:39,300 --> 00:26:43,200 window and we were aware of a pair of keen eyes from under 409 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:48,100 Shaggy brows, which surveyed us through large horn, glasses, a 410 00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:51,100 moment later. We were actually in his sanctum 411 00:26:51,300 --> 00:26:54,800 and the Mysterious scientist whose vagaries had brought us 412 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,500 from London, was standing before us. 413 00:26:58,500 --> 00:27:02,100 There was certainly no sign of eccentricity either in his 414 00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:06,900 manner or appearance for he was a portly, large featured man, 415 00:27:07,100 --> 00:27:11,300 grave tall, and frock coated with the Dignity of bearing, 416 00:27:11,300 --> 00:27:16,000 which our lecturer needs his eyes were his most remarkable 417 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:21,000 feature Keen observant, and clever to the verge of cunning. 418 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,800 He looked at our cards. Pay sit down gentlemen. 419 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,900 What can I do for you? Mr. Holmes, smiled amiably. 420 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,400 It was the question which I was about to put to you. 421 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:38,700 Professor tamesha possibly. There is some mistake. 422 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,700 I heard through a second person that professor presbury of 423 00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:47,100 camford had need of my services. Indeed. 424 00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:51,400 It seemed to me that there was a malicious Sparkle in the intense 425 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,700 gray eyes. Are you hurt? 426 00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:57,300 They do may I ask the name of your informant. 427 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,000 I'm sorry Professor, but the matter was rather confidential 428 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,700 if I have made a mistake, there is no harm done. 429 00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:10,400 I can only express my regret not at all. 430 00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:13,300 I should wish to go further into this matter. 431 00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:17,300 It interests me. Have you any scrap of writing 432 00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:20,300 any letter or telegram to Bear out your assertion? 433 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,300 No, I have not. I presume that you do not go so 434 00:28:25,300 --> 00:28:30,200 far as to assert that I summoned you I would rather answer. 435 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:35,500 No questions said Holmes. Now, I dare say not said the 436 00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:40,200 professor with asperity. However, that particular one can 437 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,200 be answered very easily without your Aid. 438 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,300 He walked across the room to the Belt. 439 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,700 Our London friend. Mr. Bennett answered the call. 440 00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:52,000 Come in. Mr. Bennett. 441 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,700 These two gentlemen have come from London under the impression 442 00:28:55,700 --> 00:28:58,800 that they have been summoned. You handle all my 443 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,300 correspondence. Have you a note of anything 444 00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:05,200 going to a person named homes? No, sir. 445 00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:09,800 Bennett answered with a flush that is conclusive said the 446 00:29:09,808 --> 00:29:12,600 professor glaring angrily at my companion. 447 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,800 Now. Now, sir, he leaned forward with 448 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,200 his two hands upon the table. It seems to me that your 449 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,200 position is a very questionable. One, Holmes Shrugged, his 450 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,300 shoulders. I can only repeat that. 451 00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,100 I am sorry that we have made a needless intrusion. 452 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,900 How did enough? Mr. Holmes, the old man? 453 00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:38,100 Cried in a high screaming voice with extraordinary malignancy 454 00:29:38,100 --> 00:29:41,500 upon his faith. He got between us and the door 455 00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:45,700 as he spoke and he shook his to And thatís with furious passion 456 00:29:46,100 --> 00:29:50,900 you can hardly get out of it. So easily as that, his face was 457 00:29:50,900 --> 00:29:55,000 convulsed and he grinned and gibbered assassin, his senseless 458 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,500 rage. I'm convinced that we should 459 00:29:57,500 --> 00:29:59,500 have had to fight our way out of the room. 460 00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:02,800 If mr. Bennett had not intervened My 461 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,500 Dear Professor. He cried couldn't City 462 00:30:05,500 --> 00:30:09,000 opposition, consider the Scandal at the University. 463 00:30:09,500 --> 00:30:13,400 Mr. Holmes is a well-known man. You cannot possibly treat. 464 00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:18,600 I'm with such discourtesy. Sulkily, our host, if I may call 465 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,100 him. So cleared the path to the door. 466 00:30:21,700 --> 00:30:24,900 We were glad to find ourselves outside the house and in the 467 00:30:24,900 --> 00:30:29,600 quiet of the tree line. Drive home seemed greatly amused 468 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,100 by the episode. I learn it friends. 469 00:30:33,100 --> 00:30:38,600 Nerves are somewhat out of order said, he perhaps our intrusion 470 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:42,300 was a little crude. And yet we have gained that 471 00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:45,000 personal contact. To which I desired. 472 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,600 But dear mean, what's in here. Surely at our heels. 473 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,600 The villain, still pursues it. There were the sounds of running 474 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:57,100 feet behind but it was to my relief, not the formidable 475 00:30:57,100 --> 00:31:00,500 Professor but his assistant who appeared round the curve of the 476 00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:03,400 drive. He came panting up to us. 477 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,200 I am so sorry. Mr. Holmes. 478 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,700 I wish to apologize. My dear sir. 479 00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:13,300 There is no need it is all in the way of professional. 480 00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:16,900 Experience. I had never seen him in a more 481 00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:20,400 dangerous mood, but he grows more Sinister. 482 00:31:21,100 --> 00:31:25,100 You can understand now why his daughter and I are alarmed and 483 00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:30,500 yet his mind is perfectly clear. To clear said Holmes. 484 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,700 That was my miscalculation. It is evident that his memory is 485 00:31:35,700 --> 00:31:38,400 much more reliable than I had thought. 486 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,300 By the way. Can we, before we go see the 487 00:31:42,300 --> 00:31:44,100 window of Miss Priss? Bergeron. 488 00:31:45,300 --> 00:31:48,400 Mr. Bennet pushed his way through some shrubs and we had a 489 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,800 view of the side of the house. It is that the second on the 490 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,600 left, dear me. It seems hardly accessible. 491 00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:02,200 And yet you will observe that there is a creeper below and a 492 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,200 water pipe above, which gives some foothold. 493 00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:09,000 I could not climb it. Myself said mr. 494 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,900 Bennett very like clue. It would certainly be a 495 00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:16,100 dangerous exploit for any Normal Man. 496 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,500 That was one other thing. I wish to tell you. 497 00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:22,300 Mr. Holmes. I have the address of the man in 498 00:32:22,300 --> 00:32:24,100 London tongue. The professor writes. 499 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,300 He seems to have written this morning and I got it from his 500 00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:31,500 blotting-paper. It is an ignoble position for a 501 00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:34,200 trusted secretary. But what else can I do? 502 00:32:35,300 --> 00:32:39,900 Holmes, glanced at the paper and put it into his pocket door 503 00:32:39,900 --> 00:32:46,500 rack, a curious name slavonic. I imagine well, it is an 504 00:32:46,500 --> 00:32:50,900 important Link in the chain. We returned to London this 505 00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:52,300 afternoon. Mr. Bennett. 506 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:56,000 I see no good purpose to be served by our remaining. 507 00:32:56,500 --> 00:33:00,700 We cannot arrest a professor because he has done no crime. 508 00:33:01,100 --> 00:33:03,800 Nor can we place him under constraint for? 509 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,300 He cannot be? Move to be mad. 510 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,000 No action. Is it possible? 511 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,700 Then? What on Earth are we to do a 512 00:33:12,700 --> 00:33:16,500 little patience? Mr. Bennett things will soon 513 00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:22,800 develop, unless I am mistaken. Next Tuesday, May Mark a crisis. 514 00:33:23,500 --> 00:33:26,400 Certainly we shall be in Comfort, on that day. 515 00:33:27,500 --> 00:33:32,800 Meanwhile, the general position is undeniably unpleasant and if 516 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:38,900 Miss prestbury can prolong her visit that is easy, then let her 517 00:33:38,900 --> 00:33:42,600 stay out till we can assure her that all danger is past. 518 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,600 Meanwhile, let him have his way and do not cross him. 519 00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:50,300 So long as he's in a good humor, all is well. 520 00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,000 I had said Bennett in a startled. 521 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,800 Whisper looking between the branches. 522 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,300 We saw the tall erect, figure emerged from the hall door and 523 00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:03,600 look around him. He stood leaning forward. 524 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,700 His hand swinging straight before him. 525 00:34:05,900 --> 00:34:10,300 His head, turning from side to side, the secretary with the 526 00:34:10,300 --> 00:34:12,800 last wave, slipped off among the trees. 527 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,300 And we saw him presently rejoin his employer the to entering the 528 00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:21,199 house together in what seemed to be animated and even Cited. 529 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:25,800 Conversation. I expect the Old Gentleman, has 530 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,900 been putting two and two together, said, Holmes, as we 531 00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:32,900 walked her tell, would he struck me as having a particularly 532 00:34:32,900 --> 00:34:36,400 clear and logical brain from the little, I saw of him. 533 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:42,300 Explosive, no doubt, but then from his point of view, he has 534 00:34:42,300 --> 00:34:46,699 something to explode about if detectives are put on his track 535 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,600 and he suspect his own household of doing it. 536 00:34:50,300 --> 00:34:53,300 I rather The fancy that friend Bennett is in for an 537 00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:58,900 uncomfortable time. Home stopped at a post office 538 00:34:58,900 --> 00:35:01,100 and sent off a telegram on our way. 539 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,300 The answer reached Us in the evening, and he tossed it across 540 00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:08,800 to me. Have visited the commercial Road 541 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,900 and seen Doric Suave person. Bohemian elderly keeps large 542 00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:18,400 General Store. Mercer, Mercer is sent to your 543 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:23,000 time, said Holmes. He is my general utility, man, 544 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:27,200 who looks up routine business. It was important to know, 545 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,700 something of the man with whom. Our professor was so secretly 546 00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:35,100 corresponding. His nationality connects up with 547 00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:37,700 the Prague visit. Thank goodness. 548 00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:40,300 That something connect with something said. 549 00:35:40,300 --> 00:35:44,700 I at present we seem to be faced by a long series of inexplicable 550 00:35:44,700 --> 00:35:47,300 incidents with no bearing upon each other. 551 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000 For example, what possible connection, could there be 552 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,100 between an angry wolf hound and a visit to Bohemia, or either of 553 00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:59,400 them with a man crawling down a passage at night as to your 554 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,500 dates. That is the biggest. 555 00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:06,200 Paul Holmes, smiled and rubbed his hands. 556 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,900 We were, I may say seated in the old sitting room of the ancient 557 00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:14,600 hotel with a bottle of the famous vintage of which Holmes 558 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,900 had spoken on the table between us. 559 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000 Well, now, let us take the dates. 560 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,600 First said he his fingertips together and his manner as if he 561 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:29,600 were addressing a class. This excellent, young man's 562 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,800 diary shows that there was trouble upon do July the second. 563 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,300 And from then onward, it seems to have been at nine day 564 00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:43,100 intervals with so far as I remember, only one exception. 565 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,100 Thus, the last outbreak upon Friday was on September the 3rd, 566 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:54,400 which also falls into the series, as did August the 26th, 567 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,800 which preceded it. The thing is beyond coincidence. 568 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,100 I was forced to agree. Let us then form the provisional 569 00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:09,300 theory that every nine days. A professor takes some strong 570 00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:14,200 drug, which has a passing but highly poisonous effect. 571 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,800 His naturally violent nature is intensified by it. 572 00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:23,800 He learned to take this drug while he was in Prague, and is 573 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,300 now supplied with it by a Bohemian intermediary in London. 574 00:37:29,100 --> 00:37:34,700 This all hangs together Watson that leaddog the face at the 575 00:37:34,700 --> 00:37:37,200 window. The creeping man in the passage. 576 00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:41,000 Well, well, we have made a beginning. 577 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:46,000 I should not expect any fresh developments until next Tuesday. 578 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,000 In the meantime. We can only keep in touch with 579 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,200 friend, Bennet and enjoy. The amenities of this charming 580 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,000 town. In the morning. 581 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,000 Mr. Bennett slipped round to bring us the latest report as 582 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,800 Holmes had imagined times had not been easy with him without 583 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,500 exactly accusing him of being responsible for our presence. 584 00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:14,400 The professor had been very rough and rude in his speech and 585 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,400 evidently felt some strong grievance this morning. 586 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,500 He was quite himself again, however, and had delivered, his 587 00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:26,300 usual brilliant lecture to a crowded class apart from his 588 00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:28,300 clear. It's said Bennett. 589 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:31,900 He has actually more energy and vitality than I can ever 590 00:38:31,900 --> 00:38:34,800 remember. No, it's his brain ever clearer, 591 00:38:35,500 --> 00:38:40,000 but it's not he it's never the man whom we have known. 592 00:38:41,100 --> 00:38:45,200 I don't think you have anything to fear now for a week at least. 593 00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:48,700 Holmes answered. I am a busy man. 594 00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:51,100 And dr. Watson has his patients to 595 00:38:51,100 --> 00:38:55,400 attend to let us agree that we meet here, at this, our next 596 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,300 Tuesday. And I shall be surprised. 597 00:38:58,300 --> 00:39:02,600 If before we leave you again. We are not able to explain even 598 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,500 if we cannot perhaps put an end to your troubles. 599 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,300 Meanwhile, keep us posted in what occurs. 600 00:39:12,300 --> 00:39:15,200 I shall nothing of my friend for the next two days. 601 00:39:15,300 --> 00:39:18,400 But on the following Monday evening, I had a short note 602 00:39:18,500 --> 00:39:23,200 asking me to meet him next day at the train from what he told 603 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,400 me as we traveled up to camford. All was well, the Peace of the 604 00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,300 professor's house had been unruffled and his own conduct 605 00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:35,500 perfectly normal. This also was the report, which 606 00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,700 has given us by mr. Bennet himself when he called 607 00:39:38,700 --> 00:39:41,700 upon us that evening at our old quarters in the checkers. 608 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,700 He had from his London correspondent today. 609 00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:49,000 There was a letter and there was a small packet. 610 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,300 Each was a cross under the stamp, which warned me not to 611 00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:54,900 touch them. There has been nothing else. 612 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:01,700 That may prove quite enough said, Holmes grimly now, mr. 613 00:40:01,700 --> 00:40:05,100 Bennet we shall. I think come to some conclusion 614 00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:09,100 tonight? If my deductions are correct, we 615 00:40:09,100 --> 00:40:13,500 should have an opportunity of bringing matters to a head in 616 00:40:13,500 --> 00:40:16,100 order to do so. It is necessary to hold the 617 00:40:16,100 --> 00:40:21,100 professor under observation. I would suggest for that you 618 00:40:21,100 --> 00:40:25,900 remain awake and on the lookout. Should you hear him password? 619 00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:28,500 Or do not interrupt him, but follow him. 620 00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:33,200 As discreetly as you can, dr. Watson and I will not be far 621 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:36,900 off. By the way, where is the key of 622 00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:41,600 that little box of which you spoke upon his watch chain. 623 00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:47,800 I fancy, our researches must lie in that direction at the worst. 624 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,000 The lock should not be very formidable. 625 00:40:50,700 --> 00:40:53,400 Have you any other able-bodied man on the premises? 626 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,200 There is The Coachman macphail. Where does he sleep over the 627 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,500 Stables? We might possibly want him. 628 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,100 Well, we can do. No more until we see how things. 629 00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:10,700 Develop goodbye. But I expect that we shall see 630 00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:15,800 you before morning. It was nearly midnight before, 631 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,200 we took our station among some bushes, immediately opposite the 632 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,800 hall door of the professor. It was a fine night, but chilly 633 00:41:23,900 --> 00:41:26,000 and we were glad of our warm overcoats. 634 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,400 There was a breeze and clouds worse, cutting across the sky 635 00:41:30,500 --> 00:41:33,100 obscuring from time to time the half moon. 636 00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,700 It would have been a dismal vigil, were it not for the 637 00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:40,000 expectation and excitement which carried us along. 638 00:41:40,300 --> 00:41:43,900 And the Assurance of my comrades that we had probably reached. 639 00:41:44,100 --> 00:41:47,900 End of the strange sequence of events which had engaged our 640 00:41:47,900 --> 00:41:52,600 attention. If the cycle of nine days holds 641 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:56,400 good then we shall have the professor at his worst tonight 642 00:41:56,700 --> 00:42:01,900 said Holmes the fact that these strange symptoms began after his 643 00:42:01,900 --> 00:42:05,800 visit to Prague that he is in secret correspondence, with the 644 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:10,200 Bohemian dealer in London who presumably represent someone in 645 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:14,000 Prague and that he received a packet from him. 646 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,600 This very day, all point in One Direction. 647 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,600 What It Takes and why he takes it a still beyond our Ken. 648 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,300 But that it emanates, in some way from Prague is clear enough, 649 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,300 he takes it under definite directions which regulate this 650 00:42:32,300 --> 00:42:36,400 ninth day system, which was the first point, which attracted my 651 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,700 attention, but his symptoms are most remarkable. 652 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:46,200 Did You observe his knuckles? I had to confess that I did not 653 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,700 sick and horny in a way, which is quite new in. 654 00:42:50,700 --> 00:42:54,300 My experience. Always look at the hands. 655 00:42:54,300 --> 00:42:59,400 First Watson, then cuffed trouser knees and Boots. 656 00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:05,600 Very curious Knuckles, which can only be explained by the mode of 657 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:10,600 progression, observed by Holmes paused and suddenly clapped his 658 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,600 hand to his forehead. Oh Watson. 659 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,700 What? So what a fool I have been, it 660 00:43:16,700 --> 00:43:21,600 seems incredible and yet it must be true all points in One 661 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,400 Direction. How could I miss seeing the 662 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,800 connection of ideas? Those Knuckles? 663 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,400 How could I have passed? Those Knuckles, and the dog, and 664 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:35,700 the ivy, it surely time that I Disappeared into that little 665 00:43:35,700 --> 00:43:39,000 farm of my dreams. Look at Watson. 666 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,200 He is which will have the chance of seeing for ourselves. 667 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,600 The hall door had slowly opened and against the lamp lit 668 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,800 background. We saw the tall figure of 669 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,500 Professor presbury. He was clad in his dressing gown 670 00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,600 as he stood outlined in the doorway. 671 00:43:57,700 --> 00:44:00,400 He was erect. But leaning forward with 672 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,700 dangling arms as when we saw him. 673 00:44:02,700 --> 00:44:07,500 Last now, he stepped forward into the drive and an 674 00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:12,100 extraordinary change came over him, he sank down into a 675 00:44:12,100 --> 00:44:16,400 crouching position and moved along a On his hands and feet, 676 00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:20,000 skipping every now and then, as if he were overflowing with 677 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,600 energy and vitality, he moved along the face of the house and 678 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,700 then Round the Corner as he disappeared. 679 00:44:27,700 --> 00:44:31,000 Bennett slip through the hall door and softly followed him. 680 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,900 Come Watson, come cried Holmes and we stole as Softly As we 681 00:44:35,900 --> 00:44:38,700 could through the bushes until we had gained a spot. 682 00:44:38,700 --> 00:44:41,500 Whence we could see the other side of the house, which was 683 00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:43,400 bathed in the light of the half moon. 684 00:44:44,300 --> 00:44:47,900 The professor was clearly visible crouching at the foot of 685 00:44:47,900 --> 00:44:51,300 the ivy-covered wall. As we watched him. 686 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,500 He suddenly began with Incredible agility to ascend it 687 00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:00,000 from Branch to Branch. She sprang sure of foot and firm 688 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,500 of grasp climbing, apparently, in mere Joy at his own powers 689 00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,300 with no definite object in view with his dressing-gown flapping 690 00:45:09,300 --> 00:45:12,500 on each side of him. He looked like some huge bat 691 00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:14,800 glued against the side of Zone house. 692 00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:18,600 A great Square. Dark patch upon the moonlit wall 693 00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,500 presently. He tired of this amusement and 694 00:45:22,500 --> 00:45:25,900 dropping from Branch to Branch. He squatted down into the old 695 00:45:25,900 --> 00:45:30,300 attitude and moved towards the Stables creeping along in the 696 00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:35,000 same strange way. As before, the Wolfhound was out 697 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,500 now barking furiously and more excited than ever. 698 00:45:38,500 --> 00:45:40,900 When it actually caught sight of its Master. 699 00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:43,700 It was straining on its chain and quivering. 700 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,900 With eagerness and rage the professor's. 701 00:45:46,900 --> 00:45:50,800 Got it done very deliberately. Just Out Of Reach of the hand 702 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,300 and began to provoke it in every possible way. 703 00:45:55,100 --> 00:45:57,900 He took, handfuls of Pebbles from the drive and threw them in 704 00:45:57,908 --> 00:46:01,000 the dog's face. Product him with a stick, which 705 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,900 he had picked up flicked. His hands about only a few 706 00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:08,000 inches from the gaping mouth and endeavored in every way to 707 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,800 increase the animals Fury, which was already beyond all control. 708 00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:18,300 In all our adventures, I do not know that I have ever seen a 709 00:46:18,300 --> 00:46:23,000 more strange sight than this impassive and still dignified 710 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,700 figure crouching frog like upon the ground and goading to a 711 00:46:27,700 --> 00:46:31,900 Wilder exhibition of passion, the maddened Hound which ramped 712 00:46:31,900 --> 00:46:36,000 and raged in front of him by all manner, of ingenious and 713 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:42,000 calculated cruelty and then in a moment it happened. 714 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:46,300 It was not the chain that Broke, but it was the color that sniped 715 00:46:46,300 --> 00:46:48,000 for. It had been made for a thick 716 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,600 neck Newfoundland. We heard the rattle of falling 717 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,000 metal and the next instant, dog and man, were rolling on the 718 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,200 ground together. The one roaring in Rage, the 719 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,600 other screaming in a strange shrill falsetto of Terror. 720 00:47:03,300 --> 00:47:06,100 It was a very narrow thing for the professor's Life. 721 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,900 The Savage creature had him fairly by the throat. 722 00:47:08,900 --> 00:47:12,600 Its fangs had bitten deep and he was senseless before we could 723 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:14,700 reach them and drag the Two apart. 724 00:47:15,500 --> 00:47:17,900 It might have been a dangerous task for us. 725 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,000 But Bennett's voice and presence, brought the great 726 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,900 Wolfhound instantly to reason the Uproar had, brought the 727 00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:27,600 sleepy and astonished. Coachman from his room above the 728 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,900 Staples. I'm not surprised said he 729 00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:33,800 shaking his head. I've seen him at it before. 730 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:36,800 I knew the dog would get him sooner or later. 731 00:47:37,900 --> 00:47:40,100 The Hound was secured and together. 732 00:47:40,100 --> 00:47:43,400 We carried the professor up to his room, where Bennett who had 733 00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,600 a medical degree, helped me to dress his torn throat. 734 00:47:47,300 --> 00:47:50,300 The sharp teeth had passed, dangerously near the Carotid 735 00:47:50,300 --> 00:47:54,800 artery and the Hemorrhage was serious in half an hour. 736 00:47:54,900 --> 00:47:58,100 The danger was past. I had given the patient, an 737 00:47:58,100 --> 00:48:03,000 injection of morphia and he had sunk into a deep sleep then. 738 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:07,000 And only then were we able to look at each other and to take 739 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,800 stock. Stock of the situation. 740 00:48:09,700 --> 00:48:14,200 I think a first-class surgeon. Should see him said, I forgot 741 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,200 sake, no cried Bennett at present. 742 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,600 A scandal is confined to our own household. 743 00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:23,300 It is safe with us. If it gets Beyond these walls, 744 00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:27,500 it will never stop consider his position at the University. 745 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,500 His European reputation, the feelings of his daughter. 746 00:48:32,700 --> 00:48:38,000 Quite so said, Holmes. I think it may be quite Possible 747 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,800 to keep the matter to ourselves. And also, to prevent its 748 00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,600 recurrence. Now that we have a free hand, 749 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,600 the key from the watch-chain. Mr. Bennett macphail will guard 750 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,400 the patient and let us know if there is any change. 751 00:48:52,900 --> 00:48:57,700 Let us see what we can find in the professor's mysterious box. 752 00:48:59,100 --> 00:49:04,100 There was not much but there was enough, an empty file, another 753 00:49:04,100 --> 00:49:09,300 nearly full a hypodermic syringe several letters in a crabbed 754 00:49:09,300 --> 00:49:13,500 foreign hand, the marks on the envelopes, showed that they were 755 00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:16,400 those, which had Disturbed, the routine of the secretary. 756 00:49:16,700 --> 00:49:20,800 And each was dated from the commercial Road and signed a 757 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,300 Doric. They were mere invoices to say 758 00:49:24,300 --> 00:49:28,000 that a fresh bottle was being sent to Professor presbury or 759 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,800 receipt, too. Knowledge money. 760 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,300 There was one other envelope. However, in a more educated hand 761 00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:38,600 and bearing, the Austrian stamp, with the postmark of Prague. 762 00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:41,700 Here. We have our material cried 763 00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:44,100 Holmes as he tore up the enclosure. 764 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:50,000 Honored colleague, it ran since your esteemed visit. 765 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:51,800 I have thought much of your case. 766 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,100 And though, in your circumstances. 767 00:49:54,100 --> 00:49:56,900 There are some special reasons for the treatment. 768 00:49:56,900 --> 00:50:01,200 I would nonetheless enjoin caution as my results have shown 769 00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,900 that it is not without danger of a kind. 770 00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:07,600 It is possible that the serum of anthropoid would have been 771 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,800 better. I have, as I explained to you 772 00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:14,800 used black-faced longer, because a specimen was accessible. 773 00:50:15,700 --> 00:50:19,500 Go is, of course, a crawler. And climber, while anthropoid 774 00:50:19,500 --> 00:50:22,000 walks. Erect and is in always nearer. 775 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,900 I beg you to take every possible. 776 00:50:24,900 --> 00:50:28,400 Precaution that there be no, premature revelation of the 777 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,300 process. I have one other client in 778 00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:33,700 England. And Doric is my agent. 779 00:50:33,700 --> 00:50:40,500 For both weekly reports will oblige yours with high esteem H 780 00:50:40,500 --> 00:50:46,300 Levenstein. Love and Stein, the name brought 781 00:50:46,300 --> 00:50:49,400 back to me the memory of some snippet from a newspaper, which 782 00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,600 spoke of an obscure scientist, who was striving in some unknown 783 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,300 way for the secret of Rejuvenation. 784 00:50:56,300 --> 00:51:02,600 Sand the elixir of life love and Stein of Prague Levenstein with 785 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:07,100 the wondrous strength, giving serum to booed by the profession 786 00:51:07,100 --> 00:51:09,700 because he refused to reveal its source. 787 00:51:10,700 --> 00:51:14,800 In a few words, I said, what I remembered Bennett had taken a 788 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,900 manual of zoology from the shelves longer. 789 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,800 He read the great black faced monkey of the Himalayan slopes 790 00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:27,000 biggest and most human of climbing monkeys. 791 00:51:27,700 --> 00:51:31,200 Many details are added. Well thanks to you. 792 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,200 Mr. Holmes. This is very clear that we have 793 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:40,600 traced the evil to its source. Though, real Source said Holmes 794 00:51:40,900 --> 00:51:45,400 lies, of course in that untimely love of her which gave our 795 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:49,100 impetuous Professor. The idea that he could only gain 796 00:51:49,100 --> 00:51:52,800 his Wish by turning himself into a younger man. 797 00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:56,600 When one tries to rise above nature. 798 00:51:56,900 --> 00:52:01,900 One is liable to fall below it, the highest type of man May 799 00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:05,700 revert to the animal. If he leaves the straight road 800 00:52:05,700 --> 00:52:10,500 of Destiny. He sat musing for a little, with 801 00:52:10,500 --> 00:52:13,600 the file in his hand. Looking at the clear liquid 802 00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:18,700 within when I have written to this man and told him that I 803 00:52:18,700 --> 00:52:22,300 hold him, criminally responsible for the poisons, which he 804 00:52:22,300 --> 00:52:27,800 circulates, we will have no more trouble, but it may recur. 805 00:52:28,500 --> 00:52:33,300 Others May find a better way. There is danger there. 806 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:39,300 A very real danger to humanity. Consider what's in that? 807 00:52:39,300 --> 00:52:44,100 The material, the sensual, the worldly would all prolong their 808 00:52:44,100 --> 00:52:48,300 worthless lives. The spiritual would not avoid 809 00:52:48,300 --> 00:52:52,700 the call to something higher. It would be the survival of the 810 00:52:52,700 --> 00:52:57,000 least fit. What sort of Cesspool may not 811 00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:04,000 our poor World become. Suddenly the dreamer disappeared 812 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,300 and Holmes The Man of Action. Sprang from his chair. 813 00:53:08,500 --> 00:53:10,700 I think there is nothing more to be said, mr. 814 00:53:10,700 --> 00:53:14,800 Bennet the various incidents will now fit themselves easily 815 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:19,100 into the general scheme. The dog of course was aware of 816 00:53:19,100 --> 00:53:21,600 the change far more quickly than you. 817 00:53:21,900 --> 00:53:25,600 His smell would ensure that it was the monkey. 818 00:53:25,700 --> 00:53:30,200 Not the professor whom riot act just as it was the monkey who 819 00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,600 teased Roy. Climbing was a joy to the 820 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,000 creature and it was a mere chance. 821 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,400 I take it that the Pastime brought him to the young lady's 822 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:44,100 window. There is an early train to town, 823 00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:49,300 Watson, but I think we shall just have time for a cup of tea, 824 00:53:49,300 --> 00:53:55,100 the checkers before we catch it. End of the adventure of the 825 00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:55,100 creeping, man. End of the adventure of the 826 00:53:55,100 --> 00:53:56,100 creeping, man.
