00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:04,200
Chapter 6 of The Sign of the 
four by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. 

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,600
This LibriVox recording is in 
the public domain. 

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,600
Chapter 6, Sherlock, Holmes, 
gives a demonstration. 

4
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:17,600
Now Watson said Holmes, rubbing 
his hands. 

5
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:20,100
We have half an hour to 
ourselves. 

6
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,300
Let us make good use of it. 
My case is, as I have told you, 

7
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:28,500
almost complete, but we must not
are on the side of 

8
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,700
overconfidence simple, as the 
case seems, now there may be 

9
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:36,400
something deeper underlying it. 
Simple. 

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:41,200
I ejaculated Shirley said he 
with something of the air of a 

11
00:00:41,208 --> 00:00:46,100
clinical Professor expounding to
his class, just sit in the 

12
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,200
corner there, that's your 
Footprints may not complicate 

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:53,500
matters. 
Now to work in the first place, 

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,100
how did these folk come? 
And how did they go? 

15
00:00:57,700 --> 00:00:59,900
The door has not been open since
last night. 

16
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,300
However, the window he carried 
the lamp across to it muttering,

17
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:07,300
his observations are All the 
while, but addressing them to 

18
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:11,400
himself, rather than to me 
window is snipped, on the inner 

19
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,000
side, framework is solid. 
No hinges at the side, let us 

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,800
open it. 
No water pipe near roof, quite 

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,400
Out Of Reach yet. 
A man has mounted by the window.

22
00:01:23,900 --> 00:01:27,300
It rained a little last night. 
Here is a print of a foot in the

23
00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:30,900
mold upon the sill. 
And here is a circular muddy 

24
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:35,300
Mark and here again upon the 
floor and Here Again by the 

25
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:37,800
table. 
See here Watson. 

26
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:40,600
This is really a very pretty 
demonstration. 

27
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:44,200
I looked at the round 
well-defined muddy discs. 

28
00:01:44,900 --> 00:01:49,900
This is not a foot Mark said I 
it is something much more 

29
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:53,500
valuable to us. 
It is the impression of a wooden

30
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:56,300
stump. 
You see here on the sill, is the

31
00:01:56,300 --> 00:02:00,200
boot, Mark, a heavy boot with 
the broad metal, heel and 

32
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,400
beside, it is the mark of the 
Timber toe. 

33
00:02:03,500 --> 00:02:08,100
It is the wooden-legged man 
quite so but there has been 

34
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:12,400
someone else. 
A very able and efficient a lie,

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,900
could you scale that wall 
doctor? 

36
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:19,500
I looked out of the open window 
the moon still Shone brightly on

37
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:23,000
that angle of the house. 
We were a good 60 feet from the 

38
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,500
ground and look where I would I 
could see no foothold nor as 

39
00:02:27,500 --> 00:02:29,200
much as a crevice in the 
brickwork. 

40
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:35,000
It is absolutely impossible. 
I answered without Aid, it is 

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,100
so, but suppose you had a friend
up here, who lowered you? 

42
00:02:39,100 --> 00:02:42,200
This good stout rope, which I 
see in the corner. 

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,000
Securing one end of it to this 
great hook in the wall. 

44
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:51,300
Then I think if you were an 
active man, you might swarm up, 

45
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:55,200
wooden leg and all you would 
Depart of course, in the same 

46
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,500
fashion and your ally would draw
up the Rope. 

47
00:02:58,900 --> 00:03:02,800
Untie it from the highwomen. 
Shut the window, snip it on the 

48
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,400
inside and get away in the way 
that he originally came as a 

49
00:03:07,408 --> 00:03:11,000
minor Point may be noted. 
He continued fingering the rope 

50
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,500
that our wooden legged friend, 
though a fair, climber was not a

51
00:03:15,508 --> 00:03:19,300
professional sailor. 
His hands were far from horny. 

52
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,400
My Lens discloses, more than one
blood Mark, especially towards 

53
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,100
the end of the rope from which I
gather that he slipped down with

54
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:29,800
such velocity. 
That he took the skin off his 

55
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,400
hand. 
This is all very well said I, 

56
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,500
but the thing becomes more 
unintelligible than ever. 

57
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,500
How about this mysterious Ally? 
How came into the room? 

58
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,300
Yes, the a lie, repeated homes 
pensively. 

59
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,000
There are features of interest 
about this Ally. 

60
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,300
He lifts the case, from the 
regions of the commonplace, I 

61
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:57,400
fancy that this Ally breaks, 
fresh ground in the annals of 

62
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,300
crime in this country though. 
Parallel cases suggest 

63
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:05,800
themselves from India and if my 
memory serves me from 

64
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,700
senegambia, How came he then I 
reiterated the doors locked. 

65
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,800
The window is inaccessible. 
Was it through the chimney. 

66
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,800
The great is much too small, he 
answered. 

67
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:21,600
I had already considered that 
possibility. 

68
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:27,200
How then I persisted you will 
not apply my precept, he said 

69
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,300
shaking his head. 
How often have I said to you 

70
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:33,800
that when you have eliminated, 
the impossible, whatever remains

71
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,300
however, improbable must be the 
truth. 

72
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:42,100
We know that he did not come 
through the door, the window or 

73
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:44,800
the chimney. 
We also know that he could not 

74
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,000
have been concealed in the room,
as there is no concealment 

75
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,500
possible whence then, did he 
come he came through the hole in

76
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,200
the roof. 
I cried. 

77
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:59,300
Of course he did. 
He must have done. 

78
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:04,100
So if you will have the kindness
to hold the lamp for me, we 

79
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,900
shall now extend our researchers
to the room above. 

80
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,100
The secret room in which the 
treasure was found. 

81
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,300
He mounted the steps and seizing
A rafter with each hand. 

82
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:20,000
He swung himself up into the 
Garret then lying on his face. 

83
00:05:20,300 --> 00:05:23,700
He reached down for the lamp and
held it while I followed him. 

84
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
the chamber in which we found 
ourselves, was about 10 feet, 

85
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,800
one way and six the other The 
floor was formed by the rafters 

86
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:38,100
with in lathe and plaster 
between, so that in walking one 

87
00:05:38,100 --> 00:05:42,300
had to step from beam to beam 
the roof, ran up to an Apex and 

88
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:45,200
was evidently the inner shell of
the true roof of the house. 

89
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,600
There was no furniture of any 
sort, and the accumulated dust 

90
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,400
of years later thick upon the 
floor. 

91
00:05:52,900 --> 00:05:56,500
Here you are you see said 
Sherlock Holmes, putting his 

92
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:00,800
hand against the sloping wall. 
This is a trap door which leads 

93
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,000
out onto the roof. 
I can press it back. 

94
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,000
And here is a roof itself, 
sloping at a gentle angle, this 

95
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,300
then is the way by which number 
one entered. 

96
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,500
Let us see if we can find any 
other traces of his 

97
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:20,000
individuality. 
He held down the lamp to the 

98
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,500
floor and as he did. 
So I saw for the second time 

99
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:28,000
that night a startled, surprise 
look came over his face. 

100
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:31,900
For myself. 
As I followed his gaze, my skin 

101
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:36,100
was cold under my clothes. 
The floor was covered thickly 

102
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:41,100
with the prints of a naked foot.
Clear well-defined perfectly 

103
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:45,200
formed but scarce half the size 
of those of an ordinary man. 

104
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,800
Holmes. 
I said, in a whisper a child is 

105
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,000
done the horrid thing. 
He recovered his self-possession

106
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,900
in an instant. 
I was staggered for the moment 

107
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:03,300
he said, but the thing is quite 
natural, my memory failed me or 

108
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,000
I should have been able to 
foretell it. 

109
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,000
There is nothing more to be 
learned here, let us go down. 

110
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,600
What is your theory then? 
As to those footmarks I asked 

111
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,300
eagerly when we had regained a 
lower room once more. 

112
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,300
My dear Watson try a little 
analysis yourself said he with a

113
00:07:22,308 --> 00:07:26,900
touch of impatience, you know, 
my methods apply them and it 

114
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:29,200
will be instructive to compare 
results. 

115
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,800
I cannot conceive anything which
will cover the facts. 

116
00:07:32,900 --> 00:07:36,200
I answered, it will be clear 
enough soon. 

117
00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:41,100
He said in an offhand way, I 
think that there is nothing else

118
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:45,800
of importance here but I will 
look He whipped out his lens and

119
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,000
a tape measure and hurried about
the room on his knees. 

120
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Measuring comparing examining 
with his long thin nose. 

121
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,800
Only a few inches from the 
planks. 

122
00:07:56,300 --> 00:08:00,500
And his beady eyes gleaming and 
deep-set like those of a bird. 

123
00:08:01,100 --> 00:08:05,200
So, Swift Silent and furtive 
were his movements, like, those 

124
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,800
of a trained Bloodhound picking 
out a scent that I could not. 

125
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,600
But think what a terrible 
criminal, he would have made had

126
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,100
he turned his energy and suggest
City against the law. 

127
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:19,400
Instead of exerting them in its 
defense, as he hunted about, he 

128
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,200
kept muttering to himself. 
And finally, he broke out into a

129
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200
loud. 
Crow of delight. 

130
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:30,700
We are certainly in luck said 
he, we ought to have very little

131
00:08:30,700 --> 00:08:33,200
trouble. 
Now, number one has had the 

132
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,600
misfortune To Tread in the 
creosote. 

133
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:39,500
You can see the outline of the 
edge of his small foot here, at 

134
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:41,500
the side of this evil-smelling 
mess. 

135
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:45,700
The carboy has been cracked, you
see and the Office leaked out. 

136
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,900
What? 
Then I asked why we have gotten 

137
00:08:49,900 --> 00:08:54,000
that Saul said he I know a dog 
that would follow that sent to 

138
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,200
the World's End. 
If a pack can track a trailed 

139
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,300
Herring across a shire, how far 
can a specially-trained Hound 

140
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:03,600
follow. 
So pungent, a smell as this. 

141
00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:06,500
It sounds like a some in the 
rule of three. 

142
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,500
The answer should give us the 
little. 

143
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:12,800
Oh, here are the accredited 
representatives of the law 

144
00:09:13,900 --> 00:09:16,000
heavy. 
Oops, and a clamor of loud 

145
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,900
voices were audible from below 
and the hall door shut with a 

146
00:09:19,908 --> 00:09:24,100
loud crash. 
Before they come said Holmes, 

147
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,300
just put your hand here on this.
Poor fellow's arm and here on 

148
00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:30,600
his leg. 
What do you feel? 

149
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,700
The muscles are as hard as a 
board. 

150
00:09:33,900 --> 00:09:37,800
I answered quite. 
So they are in a state of 

151
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,700
extreme contraction far 
exceeding. 

152
00:09:40,700 --> 00:09:44,600
The usual rigor mortis coupled 
with this Distortion of the 

153
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,900
face, this Hippocratic smile or 
risus. 

154
00:09:47,900 --> 00:09:51,800
Sardonicus, as the old writers 
called it, what conclusion would

155
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,700
it suggests to your mind? 
Death, from some powerful, 

156
00:09:55,700 --> 00:09:59,800
vegetable alkaloid. 
I answered some strychnine like 

157
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,600
substance, which would produce 
tetanus. 

158
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:05,500
That was the idea which occurred
to me. 

159
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,700
The instant, I saw the drawn 
muscles of the face on getting 

160
00:10:09,700 --> 00:10:13,300
into the room at once. 
Looked for the means by which 

161
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:16,900
the poison had entered the 
system as you saw. 

162
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:21,100
I discovered a thorn which had 
been driven or shot with no 

163
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:25,500
great force into the scalp. 
You observe that the parts truck

164
00:10:25,500 --> 00:10:28,300
was that which would be turned 
towards the hole in the ceiling.

165
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:35,600
If the man were erect in his 
chair, Now examine the thorn, I 

166
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,400
took it up gingerly and held it 
in the light of the lantern. 

167
00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:44,000
It was long sharp and black with
a glazed look near the point as 

168
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,700
though some gummy substance had 
dried upon it. 

169
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,800
The blunt end had been trimmed 
and rounded off with a knife. 

170
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:57,500
Is that an English Thorn? 
He asked, no, it certainly is 

171
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:01,700
not. 
With all these data are, you 

172
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:05,600
should be able to draw some just
inference, but here are the 

173
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600
regulars. 
So, the auxiliary forces may 

174
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,500
beat a retreat As he spoke the 
steps which have been coming 

175
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:17,700
nearer, sounded loudly on the 
passage and a very Stout portly,

176
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:20,700
man in a grey suit, Strode 
heavily into the room. 

177
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,300
He was red-faced Burley and 
plethoric with a pair of very 

178
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,800
small twinkling eyes which 
looked keenly out from between 

179
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,200
swollen and puffy pouches. 
He was closely followed by an 

180
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,900
inspector in uniform and by the 
still palpitating Thaddeus 

181
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:46,900
sholto Is a business, he cried 
in a muffled, husky voice is a 

182
00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:49,600
pretty business who are all 
days? 

183
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,500
Why the out seems to be as full 
as a rabbit Warren? 

184
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,000
I think you must recollect me 
mr. 

185
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,500
Athelney Jones said Holmes, 
quietly. 

186
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,100
Well, I have course, I do. 
He wheezed, it's mr. 

187
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:07,600
Sherlock Holmes, The theorist. 
Remember you? 

188
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,500
I'll never forget how you 
lectured us. 

189
00:12:09,500 --> 00:12:14,900
All on causes and inferences and
effects in the bishop Gates 

190
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:18,900
jewel case. 
It's true you set us on the 

191
00:12:18,900 --> 00:12:22,500
right track, but you alone now 
that it was more by good looks 

192
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:26,500
and good guidance. 
It was a piece of very simple 

193
00:12:26,500 --> 00:12:30,500
reasoning. 
Oh, come now, come never be 

194
00:12:30,500 --> 00:12:34,100
ashamed to own up. 
But what is all this bad 

195
00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:38,200
business? 
Bad Business, Stern, facts here,

196
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,700
no room for theories. 
How lucky that I happened to be 

197
00:12:41,700 --> 00:12:45,900
out at Norwood, over another 
case I was at the station, when 

198
00:12:45,900 --> 00:12:51,600
the message arrived, what do you
think the man died of Oh this is

199
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,000
hardly a case for me to theorize
over said, Holmes dryly. 

200
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,300
No, no, no still. 
Well you can't deny that. 

201
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,100
You hit the nail on the head 
sometimes. 

202
00:13:01,500 --> 00:13:05,800
Dear me door locked. 
I understand Jewels worth a half

203
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,300
a million missing. 
How was the window? 

204
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,700
Fastened. 
But there are steps on the Sill 

205
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:18,500
Well well if it was fastened, 
the steps could have nothing to 

206
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,100
do with the matter. 
That's common sense. 

207
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,800
Man. 
Might have died in a fit but 

208
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,900
then the jewels are missing, 
huh. 

209
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:29,400
I have a theory. 
These flashes come upon me at 

210
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,900
times. 
Just step outside sergeant and 

211
00:13:32,900 --> 00:13:36,000
you mr. 
Solo, your friend can remain. 

212
00:13:36,700 --> 00:13:40,400
What do you think of this homes 
short o was on his own 

213
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,100
confession with his brother last
night? 

214
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,000
Brother died in a fit on which 
sholto walked off with the 

215
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,900
treasure. 
How's that? 

216
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,900
On which the dead man. 
Very considerately, got up and 

217
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:59,800
locked the door on the inside. 
Hmm, there's a floor there, let 

218
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,600
us apply common sense to the 
map. 

219
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,100
This Saturday is sholto was with
his brother. 

220
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,800
There was a quarrel, so much. 
We know. 

221
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,000
The brother is dead and The 
Jewels are gone so much. 

222
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,100
Also, we know no one saw the 
brother from the time Thaddeus 

223
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:20,200
left him. 
His bed had not been slept in. 

224
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:23,000
Satya. 
She's evidently, you know, most 

225
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,100
Disturbed State of Mind is 
appearances. 

226
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:29,100
Well, not attractive. 
You see that? 

227
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:31,200
I'm weaving. 
My web rounds, Thaddeus. 

228
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,700
The net begins to close upon 
him. 

229
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,700
You are not quite in possession 
of the facts. 

230
00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:42,100
Yet said, Holmes this Splinter 
of wood which I have every 

231
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:45,900
reason to believe to be 
poisoned, was in the man's scalp

232
00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:49,500
where you will see the mark, 
this card inscribed, as you see,

233
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:52,300
it was on the table and beside 
it. 

234
00:14:52,300 --> 00:14:54,600
Lay this rather curious 
stone-headed. 

235
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,300
Instrument, how does all that 
fit into your theory? 

236
00:14:59,700 --> 00:15:03,900
Confirms it in every respect. 
So the fat detective, pompously 

237
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:08,900
house is full of Indian. 
Curiosities 30 has brought this 

238
00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:13,100
up and if this Splinter be 
poisonous, Thaddeus may as well,

239
00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:15,600
have made murderous use of it as
any other man. 

240
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,400
The card is some hocus-pocus a 
blind as like as not. 

241
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:23,200
The only question is, how did he
Depart? 

242
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,800
Of course, there is a hole in 
the roof. 

243
00:15:27,700 --> 00:15:30,200
With great activity, considering
his bulk. 

244
00:15:30,500 --> 00:15:33,400
He sprang up the steps and 
squeeze through into the Garret 

245
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,800
and immediately afterwards. 
We heard his exalting voice 

246
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,700
proclaiming that. 
He had found the trap door, he 

247
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:44,000
can find something remarked 
Holmes shrugging his shoulders. 

248
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,300
He has occasional, glimmerings 
of Reason in yada, Saucy ankle 

249
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:55,000
mod, Kazuki andalus free You see
said I'll suddenly Jones 

250
00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:59,200
reappearing down the steps again
facts or better than mere 

251
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,500
theories. 
After all my view of the case is

252
00:16:02,500 --> 00:16:07,100
confirmed, there is a trapdoor 
communicating with the roof and 

253
00:16:07,100 --> 00:16:11,900
it is partly open. 
It was I who opened it? 

254
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:14,900
Oh, indeed, you did know. 
Is it? 

255
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:18,400
Then he seemed a little 
crestfallen at the discovery. 

256
00:16:19,300 --> 00:16:22,800
Well, whoever noticed it, it 
shows our gentlemen, Got Away. 

257
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,400
Inspector. 
Yes, sir. 

258
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:31,900
From the passage also. 
Mr. Solo to step this way, mr. 

259
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:36,300
Show it is my duty to inform you
that anything, which you may say

260
00:16:36,300 --> 00:16:39,900
will be used against you. 
I rest you in the Queen's name, 

261
00:16:39,900 --> 00:16:42,100
as being concerned, in the death
of your brother. 

262
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,000
There now didn't I tell you 
cried? 

263
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000
The poor little man throwing out
his hands and looking from one 

264
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,400
to the other of us. 
Don't trouble yourself about it.

265
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:57,200
Mr. Sholto said, Holmes. 
I think that I can engage to 

266
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,200
clear you of the charge. 
Oh, bro, it's too much, mr. 

267
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,900
Theorist. 
Do Promise, Too Much. 

268
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Snap, the detective who may find
it a harder matter than you 

269
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:12,599
think not only will I clear him.
Mr. Jones, but I will make you a

270
00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:15,599
free present of the name and 
description of one of the two 

271
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:19,800
people who were in this room 
last night his name I have every

272
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,800
reason to believe is Jonathan 
small he is a poorly educated 

273
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,300
man. 
Small active with his right leg 

274
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:32,000
off and Hiring a wooden stump 
which is worn away. 

275
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,600
Upon the inner side, his left 
boot, has a coarse square-toed 

276
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,100
soul with an iron band around 
the heel. 

277
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,100
He is a middle-aged man much 
sunburned and has been a 

278
00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:46,400
convict. 
These few indications may be of 

279
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,700
some assistance to you coupled 
with the fact that there is a 

280
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:54,200
good deal of skin missing from 
the palm of his hand, the other 

281
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,400
man. 
Oh, the other man asked, 

282
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,300
athelney Jones in a sneering 
voice. 

283
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,800
But impressed nonetheless, as I 
could easily see by the 

284
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Precision of the others manner. 
Is a rather curious person said 

285
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,000
Sherlock Holmes turning upon his
heel. 

286
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:13,500
I hope before very long to be 
able to introduce you to the 

287
00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:16,100
pair of them a word with you 
Watson. 

288
00:18:17,100 --> 00:18:20,900
He led me out to the head of the
stair this unexpected 

289
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:23,900
occurrence. 
He said has caused us, rather to

290
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:28,000
lose sight of the original 
purpose of our journey, I've 

291
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,500
just been thinking so I answered
it is not right, the Miss 

292
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:33,700
morstan should remain in this 
stricken house. 

293
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:39,200
No, you must escort her home. 
She lives with mrs. 

294
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,700
Cecil Forrester in lower 
camberwell so it is not very 

295
00:18:42,700 --> 00:18:44,700
far. 
I will wait for you here. 

296
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:49,500
If you will drive out again or 
perhaps you are too tired by no 

297
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,400
means. 
I don't think I could rest until

298
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,500
I know more of this fantastic 
business. 

299
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,000
I've seen something of the Rough
Side of Life, but I give you my 

300
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
word that this quick succession 
of strange surprises tonight has

301
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,400
shaken. 
My nerve completely. 

302
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,900
I should like, however, to see 
the matter through. 

303
00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:07,200
With you now that I have got so 
far. 

304
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,500
Your presence will be of great 
service to me. 

305
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:14,500
He answered, we shall work the 
case out independently and 

306
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:16,800
leave. 
This fellow Jones to exult over 

307
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,600
any mares Nest, which he may 
choose to construct. 

308
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,300
When you have dropped, Miss 
morstan, I wish you to go on to 

309
00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,500
number three. 
Pinchin Lane down, near the 

310
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:28,700
water's edge at Lambeth. 
The third house on the right 

311
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:33,500
hand side is a bird stuffers 
Sherman is the name, you'll see 

312
00:19:33,500 --> 00:19:36,100
a weasel holding a young rabbit 
in the window. 

313
00:19:37,100 --> 00:19:40,100
No called Sherman up and tell 
him with my compliments that I 

314
00:19:40,108 --> 00:19:42,800
want.
