00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,700
Chapter 5 of a study in Scarlet 
by Sir. 

2
00:00:03,700 --> 00:00:06,600
Arthur Conan Doyle. 
This LibriVox recording is in 

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,700
the public domain. chapter 5, 
our advertisement brings a 

4
00:00:12,700 --> 00:00:18,000
visitor, Our morning's exertions
had been too much for my weak 

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,900
health and I was tired out in 
the afternoon, after homes 

6
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:24,900
departure for the concert. 
I lay down upon the sofa and 

7
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:26,900
endeavored to get a couple of 
hours sleep. 

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,500
It was a useless attempt. 
My mind have been too much 

9
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:34,500
excited by all that had occurred
and the strangest fancies and 

10
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:38,300
surmises crowded into it. 
Every time that I closed my 

11
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,800
eyes. 
I saw before me the distorted 

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,300
baboon, like countenance of the 
murdered, man. 

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,500
So Sinister was the impression 
which that face had produced 

14
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:50,700
upon me that I found it 
difficult to feel anything, but 

15
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:53,500
gratitude for him, who had 
removed its owner from the 

16
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:56,600
world. 
If ever human features, bespoke 

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,700
Vice of the most malignant type,
they were certainly those of 

18
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:04,500
Enoch J drebber of Cleveland 
still. 

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,000
I recognize that Justice must be
done. 

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,100
And that the depravity of the 
victim was no condone meant in 

21
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:14,400
the eyes of the law. 
The more I thought of it, the 

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,900
more extraordinary did my 
companions hypothesis that the 

23
00:01:17,908 --> 00:01:21,800
man had been poisoned appear. 
I remembered how he had sniffed 

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,300
his lips and had no doubt that 
he had detected something which 

25
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:26,900
had given rise to. 
The idea. 

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,200
Then again is not poison. 
What had caused the man's death 

27
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:36,400
since there was neither wound 
nor marks of strangulation, but 

28
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,000
on the other hand, whose blood 
was that which lay so thickly 

29
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,200
upon the floor. 
There were no signs of a 

30
00:01:43,208 --> 00:01:47,300
struggle nor had the victim, any
weapon with which he might have 

31
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:51,300
wounded an antagonist as long as
all these questions were 

32
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,000
unsolved. 
I felt that sleep would be no 

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
easy matter. 
Either for homes or myself. 

34
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:01,500
His quiet self confident manner,
convinced me that he had already

35
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:04,800
formed a theory, which explained
all the facts though. 

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,400
What it was, I could not for an 
instant conjecture. 

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,200
He was very late in returning so
late that I knew that the 

38
00:02:13,208 --> 00:02:14,800
concert could not have detained 
him. 

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,400
All the time, dinner was on the 
table before he appeared. 

40
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,100
It was magnificent. 
He said as he took his seat, do 

41
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:25,400
you remember what Darwin says 
about music? 

42
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:29,500
He claims the power of producing
and appreciating it existed 

43
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:33,400
among the human race long before
the power of speech was arrived 

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,600
at, perhaps that is why we are 
so subtly influenced by it. 

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,700
There are vague. 
Is in our souls of those Misty 

46
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:42,600
centuries. 
When the world was in its 

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,800
childhood. 
That's rather broad idea. 

48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,500
I remarked one's ideas must be 
as broad as nature if they are 

49
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:52,700
to interpret nature. 
He answered. 

50
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,600
What's the matter? 
You're not looking quite 

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,600
yourself. 
This Brixton Road Affair has 

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,100
upset you. 
To tell the truth. 

53
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:04,100
It has. 
I said I ought to be more case. 

54
00:03:04,100 --> 00:03:06,100
Hardened, after my Afghan 
experiences. 

55
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:10,100
I saw my own comrades hacked to 
pieces at my wand without losing

56
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:13,700
my nerve. 
I can understand there is a 

57
00:03:13,708 --> 00:03:17,100
mystery about this, which 
stimulates the imagination where

58
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:19,700
there is no imagination. 
There is no horror. 

59
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:24,800
Have you seen the evening paper?
No, it gives a fairly good 

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,900
account of the affair. 
It does not mention the fact 

61
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,400
that when the man was raised up 
a His wedding ring fell upon the

62
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,400
floor. 
It is just as well. 

63
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,500
It does not. 
Why? 

64
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,700
Look at this advertisement. 
He answered. 

65
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,900
I had one sent to every paper. 
This morning immediately after 

66
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:46,500
the affair. 
He threw the paper across to me,

67
00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:49,000
and I glanced at the place 
indicated. 

68
00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:53,900
It was the first announcement in
the found column in Brixton. 

69
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:57,500
Road, this morning, it ran a 
plain gold wedding ring found in

70
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:59,600
the roadway between the White 
Hart Tavern. 

71
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:04,800
And Holland Grove, apply dr. 
Watson 221B, Baker Street 

72
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,900
between 8:00 and 9:00 this 
evening. 

73
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:13,000
Excuse my, using your name. 
He said, if I use my own, some 

74
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,100
of these dunderheads would 
recognize it and want to meddle 

75
00:04:16,100 --> 00:04:19,000
in the affair. 
Now that's all right. 

76
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,700
I answered but supposing anyone 
applies. 

77
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,300
I have no ring. 
Oh, yes, you have said he 

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,500
handing me one. 
This will do very well. 

79
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:34,000
It is almost a facsimile and who
do you expect will answer this 

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,400
advertisement? 
Why the man in the brown coat, 

81
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,700
our flourish friend with the 
square toes. 

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,100
If he does not come himself, he 
will send. 

83
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:45,000
An accomplice. 
Would you not consider it as too

84
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,500
dangerous? 
Not at all, if my view of the 

85
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:51,600
case is correct, and I have 
every reason to believe that it 

86
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,100
is, this man would rather risk. 
Anything than lose the ring 

87
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,600
according to my notion. 
He dropped it while stooping 

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,100
over drivers body and did not 
miss it at the time. 

89
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,500
After leaving the house. 
He discovered his loss. 

90
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:09,000
Hurried back, but found the 
police already in possession. 

91
00:05:09,500 --> 00:05:12,600
Owing to his own Folly in 
leaving the candle burning. 

92
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,500
He had to pretend to be drunk in
order to allay the suspicions 

93
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:19,700
which might have been aroused by
his appearance at the gate. 

94
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,700
Now put yourself in that man's 
place on thinking the matter 

95
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,800
over it must have occurred to 
him that it was possible that he

96
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,700
had lost the ring in the road 
after leaving the house. 

97
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,400
What would he do? 
Then? 

98
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,700
He would eagerly look out for 
the evening papers in the hope 

99
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:40,900
of seeing it among the Articles 
found, his I of course, would 

100
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:43,700
light upon this, he would be 
overjoyed. 

101
00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:47,800
Why should he fear a trap? 
There would be no reason in his 

102
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,500
eyes. 
Why the finding of the Ring 

103
00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:51,400
should be connected with the 
murder. 

104
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,700
He would come, he will come. 
You shall see him within an 

105
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:59,600
hour? 
And then, I asked, oh, you can 

106
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,600
leave me to deal with him then. 
Have you any arms? 

107
00:06:03,500 --> 00:06:06,500
I have my old service revolver 
and a few cartridges. 

108
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:09,300
You had better clean it and 
loaded. 

109
00:06:09,700 --> 00:06:12,100
He will be a desperate man. 
And though, I shall take him 

110
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:15,100
unawares, it is as well to be 
ready for anything. 

111
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:18,900
I went to my bedroom and 
followed his advice. 

112
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,100
When I returned with the pistol.
The table had been cleared and 

113
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:26,500
Holmes was engaged in his 
favorite occupation of scraping 

114
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:29,400
upon his violin. 
The plot. 

115
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,600
Thickens, he said, as I entered,
I have just had an answer to my 

116
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,800
American telegram. 
My view of the case, is the 

117
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,400
correct one. 
And that is, I asked eagerly my 

118
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,500
fiddle would be the better for 
new strings. 

119
00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:47,500
He remarked, put your pistol in 
your pocket when the fellow 

120
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,600
comes speak to him in an 
ordinary way. 

121
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,100
Leave the rest to me. 
Don't frighten him by looking at

122
00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:55,800
him too hard. 
It is eight o'clock. 

123
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,000
Now. 
I said glancing at my watch. 

124
00:06:58,700 --> 00:07:01,200
Yes. 
He will probably be here in a 

125
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,500
few minutes. 
Open the door slightly that will

126
00:07:04,500 --> 00:07:07,000
do. 
Now put the key on the inside. 

127
00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,200
Thank you. 
This is a queer old book. 

128
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,900
I picked up at a store 
yesterday. 

129
00:07:12,500 --> 00:07:16,300
De Jour, a vintage entities 
published in Latin at liège in 

130
00:07:16,300 --> 00:07:21,300
the lowlands in 1642. 
Charles head was still firm on 

131
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,700
his shoulders. 
When this little brown backed 

132
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:27,300
volume was struck off. 
Who is the printer? 

133
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:32,200
A Philippe de quoi? 
Whoever he may have been on the 

134
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,300
Flyleaf in very faded ink is 
written ex libris, Julie only 

135
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:39,500
white. 
I wonder who William white was 

136
00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:43,200
some pragmatical 17th century 
lawyer. 

137
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,400
I suppose his writing has a 
legal twist about it. 

138
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:51,400
Here comes I'll man, I think. 
As he spoke, there was a sharp 

139
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,700
ring at the Bell Sherlock 
Holmes, Rose softly and moved 

140
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:56,500
his chair in the direction of 
the door. 

141
00:07:57,700 --> 00:08:01,200
We heard the servant pass along 
the hall and the sharp click of 

142
00:08:01,207 --> 00:08:05,100
the latch as she opened it. 
Does dr. 

143
00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:10,200
Watson Livia us to clear but 
rather harsh voice, we could not

144
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,000
hear the servants reply, but the
door closed and someone began to

145
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,900
ascend the stairs. 
The footfall was an uncertain 

146
00:08:17,900 --> 00:08:21,700
and shuffling one, a look of 
surprise passed over the face of

147
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:23,400
my companion. 
As he listened to it. 

148
00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:27,600
It came slowly along the passage
and there was a feeble tap at 

149
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,800
the door. 
Come in. 

150
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,799
I cried at my summons instead of
the man of violence, whom we 

151
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,500
expected a very old and wrinkled
woman hobbled into the 

152
00:08:38,500 --> 00:08:41,100
apartment. 
She appeared to be dazzled by 

153
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:45,000
the sudden blaze of light and 
after dropping a curtsey, she 

154
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,400
stood blinking at her. 
With her bleared eyes and 

155
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,700
fumbling in her pocket with 
nervous, shaky fingers. 

156
00:08:51,900 --> 00:08:55,500
I glanced at my companion and 
his face had assumed such a 

157
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:58,800
disconsolate expression that it 
was all I could do to keep my 

158
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,700
countenance. 
The old Crone Drew out an 

159
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:05,900
evening paper and pointed at our
advertisement. 

160
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:12,200
It's this is as brought me good 
gentlemen, she said dropping 

161
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,400
another curtsy a gold wedding 
ring in the Brixton Road. 

162
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:21,500
It belongs to my girls Sally as 
was married only this time 12 

163
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:25,800
month which her husband is, 
Steward aboard a union boat and 

164
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,100
what he'd say, if he come home 
and found her without her ring. 

165
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,100
He's more than I can think he 
being short enough at the best 

166
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:36,500
of times. 
But more especially when he has 

167
00:09:36,500 --> 00:09:41,100
to drink, If it, please, you, 
she went to the circus last 

168
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:44,400
night, along with is that her 
ring? 

169
00:09:44,700 --> 00:09:48,200
I asked the Lord be thanked, 
cried. 

170
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,800
The old woman. 
Sally will be a glad woman this 

171
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,800
night. 
That's the ring. 

172
00:09:54,700 --> 00:09:58,900
And what may your address be? 
I enquired taking up a pencil 

173
00:09:59,500 --> 00:10:04,200
13, Duncan Street houndsditch? 
A weary way from here. 

174
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:08,300
The Brixton Road does not lie 
between any circus and 

175
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,800
houndsditch said Sherlock Holmes
sharply the old woman faced 

176
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000
round and looked keenly at him 
from her little red-rimmed eyes.

177
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,800
The gentleman asked me for my 
address. 

178
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,400
She said, Sally lives in 
lodgings three, Mayfield Place 

179
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,300
Peckham. 
And your name is my name is 

180
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:34,500
Sawyer as is Dennis which Tom 
Dennis married her and a smart 

181
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:37,600
clean lad. 
To as long as he's at Sea and 

182
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,500
no, Steward in the company more 
thought of, but went on, sure. 

183
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:46,000
What with the women, and what 
with liquor shops, here is your 

184
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,100
ring. 
Mrs. Sawyer. 

185
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,400
I interrupted an obedient to a 
sign from my companion. 

186
00:10:51,100 --> 00:10:52,700
It clearly belongs to your 
daughter. 

187
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,500
And I'm glad to be able to 
restore it to the rightful 

188
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:59,100
owner. 
With many mumbled blessings and 

189
00:10:59,100 --> 00:11:03,100
protestations of gratitude. 
The old Crone packed it away in 

190
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:05,500
her pocket and shuffled off down
the stairs. 

191
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,900
Sherlock Holmes, sprang to his 
feet the moment that she was 

192
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:14,600
gone and rushed into his room. 
He returned in a few seconds 

193
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:16,900
enveloped in an Ulster and a 
cravat. 

194
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:20,800
I'll follow her. 
He said hurriedly, she must be 

195
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,000
an accomplice and will lead me 
to him. 

196
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,100
Wait up for me. 
The hall door had hardly slammed

197
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:31,300
behind our visitor before Holmes
had descended, the stair looking

198
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:34,000
through the window. 
I could see her walking Feedly 

199
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,300
along the other side. 
While her pursuer, dogged her, 

200
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:41,600
some little distance behind. 
Either this whole theory is 

201
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,600
incorrect. 
I thought to myself or else 

202
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,700
you'd be led down to the heart 
of the mystery. 

203
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,100
There was no need for him to ask
me to wait up for him. 

204
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:53,700
For I felt that sleep was 
impossible until I heard the 

205
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:58,000
result of his Adventure. 
It was close upon nine when he 

206
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800
set out. 
I had no idea how long you might

207
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,100
be but I sat stolidly puffing at
my pipe and skipping over the 

208
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:09,800
pages of only mirga's. 
Vida Boheme. 10:00 past. 

209
00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:11,800
And I heard the footsteps of the
made. 

210
00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:16,600
As they patted off to bed 11, 
and the more stately tread of 

211
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,600
the landlady past my door Bound 
for the same destination. 

212
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,700
It was close upon 12 before I 
heard the sharp sound of his 

213
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:28,400
latchkey. 
The instant he entered I saw by 

214
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,200
his face that he had not been 
successful amusement and Chagrin

215
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,700
seem to be struggling for the 
Mastery until the former 

216
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:40,000
suddenly carried the day and he 
burst into a hearty laugh. 

217
00:12:40,900 --> 00:12:44,600
I wouldn't have the Scotland 
Yard as know it for the world. 

218
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,500
He cried dropping into his 
chair. 

219
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,300
I have chafed them so much that 
they would never have. 

220
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:53,500
Let me hear the end of it. 
I can afford to laugh because I 

221
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:55,900
know that I will be even with 
them in the long run. 

222
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,100
What is it then I asked oh, I 
don't mind telling a story 

223
00:13:01,100 --> 00:13:05,700
against myself that creature had
gone a little way when she began

224
00:13:05,700 --> 00:13:09,700
to limp and show every sign of 
being footsore presently. 

225
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:13,200
She came to a halt and hailed a 
four-wheeler, which was passing.

226
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,300
I managed to be close to her. 
So as to hear the address, but I

227
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:20,900
need not have been so anxious 
for she sang it out loud enough 

228
00:13:20,900 --> 00:13:23,000
to be heard at the other side of
the street. 

229
00:13:24,100 --> 00:13:27,100
Drive to 13 Duncan Street 
houndsditch. 

230
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:30,000
She cried. 
This begins to look genuine. 

231
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,800
I thought and having seen her 
safely inside. 

232
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:37,100
I perched myself behind. 
That's an art, which every 

233
00:13:37,100 --> 00:13:39,000
detective should be an expert 
at. 

234
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,400
Well, the way we rattled and 
never drew rein until we reach 

235
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,500
the street in question. 
I hopped off before we came to 

236
00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:49,100
the door and strolled down the 
street in an easy lounging way. 

237
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,600
I saw the cab pull up the driver
jumped down and I saw him open 

238
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,100
the door and stand expectantly. 
Nothing came out. 

239
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,400
When I reached him. 
He was groping about frantically

240
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,900
in the empty cab and giving vent
to the finest assorted 

241
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:05,800
collection of owes that. 
Ever. 

242
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,300
I listen to there was no sign or
trace of his passenger and I 

243
00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:12,800
fear it will be some time before
he gets his fair. 

244
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,600
On inquiring at number 13, we 
found that the house belonged to

245
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,000
a respectable paperhanger named 
kissick and that, no one of the 

246
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,700
name, either of soya or Dennis 
had ever been heard of their, 

247
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:29,900
you don't mean to say, I cried 
in amazement that that tottering

248
00:14:29,900 --> 00:14:33,200
feeble old woman, was able to 
get out of the cab while it was 

249
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,700
in motion, without, either you 
or the driver seeing her. 

250
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,100
Old woman be damned said, 
Sherlock Holmes. 

251
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:42,900
Sharply. 
We were the old women were so 

252
00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:45,300
taken in. 
It must have been a young man 

253
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:48,800
and an active 12, besides being 
an incomparable actor. 

254
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,400
The getup was inimitable. 
He saw that he was followed. 

255
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,000
No doubt and used. 
This means of giving me the 

256
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,700
slip. 
It shows that the man we are 

257
00:14:58,700 --> 00:15:00,600
after is not as lonely as I 
imagined. 

258
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,600
He was, but has friends who are 
ready to risk something for him.

259
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,700
Now, doctor you're looking Up, 
take my advice and turn in. 

260
00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:12,800
I was certainly feeling very 
weary. 

261
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,800
So I obeyed his injunction. 
I left home seated in front of 

262
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,300
the smoldering fire and long 
into the watches of the night. 

263
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:24,900
I heard the low Melancholy 
wailings of his violin and knew 

264
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:28,500
that he was still pondering over
the strange problem, which he 

265
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:33,100
had set himself to unravel. 
End of chapter 5.
