Sherlock Holmes - The Norwood Builder

<v Speaker 1>That's it's your photograph tall and yes new today there
<v Speaker 1>some something's way.
<v Speaker 2>He sent it to me with his cush on the morning.
<v Speaker 3>Of the wedding.
<v Speaker 2>To mister mcfilone, have.
<v Speaker 3>You ever toach up Salon?
<v Speaker 4>Why?
<v Speaker 3>Because if the police were alone that you can, they would.
<v Speaker 4>Mark it down as providing an additional merchant for him
<v Speaker 4>to a murdered dismay. But no case was too hopeless
<v Speaker 4>of my friend Sherlock Holmes when he was defending the
<v Speaker 4>life of an innocent man.
<v Speaker 3>My name is Watts, doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 4>And it was my privilege to show the adventures of
<v Speaker 4>Sherlock Holmes. I will tell you what happened in the
<v Speaker 4>case of the Norwood builder. Hardly any case began more abruptly, as.
<v Speaker 3>You may judge yourself in the boat what mister Hops,
<v Speaker 3>don't blame me, un.
<v Speaker 4>Lily Marth, mister Holmes, I am the unhappy John Hector mcfarth.
<v Speaker 3>Have a cigarette, mister McFarlan.
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure that with your symptoms, my friend doctor Watson
<v Speaker 4>here would prescribe as sdity.
<v Speaker 5>Oh mister honer, I do beg your pardon that the
<v Speaker 5>young gentleman else.
<v Speaker 4>Man on the head of me Missus Hudson just leaves
<v Speaker 4>lease very well, sir. Now, mister mcfarloy, you mentioned your
<v Speaker 4>name as if I should recognize it, but I assure
<v Speaker 4>you that beyond the obvious facts that you are a bachelor,
<v Speaker 4>a solicitor and a free mason, I know nothing whatever
<v Speaker 4>about you. But if you know, all those things are
<v Speaker 4>purely from observation, I assure you.
<v Speaker 3>He may I say it.
<v Speaker 4>The untidiness of your attire, the chief of legal documents
<v Speaker 4>protruding from the jacket pocket, the Masonic watch charm quite straightforward,
<v Speaker 4>he wasn't quite quite. I'm all of that, and in addition,
<v Speaker 4>on the most unfortunate man in London at this moment.
<v Speaker 4>I appeal to you, mister Holmes. If they come to
<v Speaker 4>arrest me before I finished telling you my story, makes
<v Speaker 4>them give me time to tell you the whole truth.
<v Speaker 4>Arrest you on what your for the murder of mister
<v Speaker 4>Jonas old Acre.
<v Speaker 3>Of lad Well Home through Watson's. It was only a
<v Speaker 3>moment ago, mister.
<v Speaker 4>MacFarland, that I was remarking to my friend that sensational
<v Speaker 4>cases had quite disappeared out of our newspapers. Is that
<v Speaker 4>so that you haven't looked very closely at that one
<v Speaker 4>there see on the.
<v Speaker 3>Very front page. Indeed, Watson, if you'd be so good,
<v Speaker 3>that's having a.
<v Speaker 4>Mysterious of her learn nor Wood suspicion of murder and usten.
<v Speaker 4>About twelve o'clock last night an alarm was given it
<v Speaker 4>a stack of timber was unfired the yard of mister
<v Speaker 4>Jonas Oldacre, a well known builder of learn nor Wood.
<v Speaker 4>The engines were soon up on the spot, but it
<v Speaker 4>was impossible arrest the conflagration until the stack had been
<v Speaker 4>entirely consumed. Surprise was expressed to the absence of the
<v Speaker 4>owner of the establishment, and investigations revealed that a murderous
<v Speaker 4>struggle had apparently taken place in his study, where slight
<v Speaker 4>traces of blood were found. An open walking stick funder
<v Speaker 4>or bloodstained on its handle, and a safe have been opened,
<v Speaker 4>and papers scattered about the room. It is known that
<v Speaker 4>mister oday Ha received a visitor yesterday evening, a young
<v Speaker 4>London solicitor named John Hector McFarlane, who is now being
<v Speaker 4>sought by the police for his help in their inquiry.
<v Speaker 4>You see now we got the stop press there below here. Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 4>police say victim was come to death. News room papers
<v Speaker 4>rifled and dead body dragged across the woodpile, which was
<v Speaker 4>then ignited as to hide.
<v Speaker 3>All traces of the crime.
<v Speaker 4>Great Heavens, Yes, the case has certainly some points of interest. Nay,
<v Speaker 4>I ask mister mcfolland, how it is that you're still
<v Speaker 4>at liberty. I lived with my parents at Blackheath, but
<v Speaker 4>last night, having to do business with mister o'dacre, late
<v Speaker 4>in the evening, I stayed in a.
<v Speaker 3>Hotel at Norwood.
<v Speaker 4>I knew nothing of les affair until I read that
<v Speaker 4>newspaper account of the train to the city. Why had
<v Speaker 4>it at once to put the case in your hands?
<v Speaker 4>As a matter of fact, I swear a man followed
<v Speaker 4>me out of Plunderbridge station.
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I'll leave the homes. John Hector mcfallan.
<v Speaker 4>I arrass you for the wilful murder of mister Jones Oldeggin.
<v Speaker 4>Oh thank you, missus Hudson.
<v Speaker 3>Very good.
<v Speaker 4>Now, McFarland, it's my duty to warn you that anything
<v Speaker 4>you say will be taken down and maybe put.
<v Speaker 3>In evidentle less trade.
<v Speaker 4>This gentleman is on the point of giving us an
<v Speaker 4>account of the affair which my daid in hearing it.
<v Speaker 3>Done all right, McFarlan, get on with this story.
<v Speaker 4>I must explain first that I knew nothing of Jonas
<v Speaker 4>except that my parents.
<v Speaker 3>Had been acquainted with them many years ago.
<v Speaker 4>So I was very much surprised to get a request
<v Speaker 4>to go out to his home yesterday evening and advise
<v Speaker 4>him on a legal matter. I got to his house
<v Speaker 4>soon after line and was let in by a middle
<v Speaker 4>aged woman. His housekeeper actual w to bed. My dear
<v Speaker 4>young sir, do come in?
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, sir?
<v Speaker 4>Beg pardon? Shall I sir?
<v Speaker 3>Supper now in a few minutes, missus Rixington.
<v Speaker 4>I'll just acquaint my young friend here with the business
<v Speaker 4>I have for him, and then we can discuss.
<v Speaker 3>It further over the meal.
<v Speaker 4>The will that suit you, mister McFarland, anything you say,
<v Speaker 4>mister Olding, very good, sir, Very good of you to
<v Speaker 4>come all this way. Mister McFarland, I knew your parents
<v Speaker 4>many years ago.
<v Speaker 3>You know I have heard your name. No Doug, No Doug.
<v Speaker 4>Will Now to come straight to the point I asked
<v Speaker 4>you here this evening to attend to my will. I
<v Speaker 4>see if you'll read the will for yourself cover why
<v Speaker 4>I said for you very well? Here it is thank
<v Speaker 4>you Jonus's shortened to the point you see Hi. But
<v Speaker 4>mister Olyker, this will leave your entirestat to me. I'm
<v Speaker 4>the most deserving recipient, so my inquire is a firm
<v Speaker 4>But I don't understand it's quite straightforward, My dear young sir,
<v Speaker 4>I am a bachelor with hardly a living relation in
<v Speaker 4>the world.
<v Speaker 3>I knew your parents in my youth.
<v Speaker 4>As to yourself, I have always heard it said that
<v Speaker 4>you are diligent and thoroughly deserving. Therefore I choose to
<v Speaker 4>make you my heir.
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what to say.
<v Speaker 3>Now. Simply assure me as a lawyer that the will
<v Speaker 3>is in proper for I shall sign it. Missus Lexington
<v Speaker 3>shall witness, and then we'll.
<v Speaker 4>Have supper with the greatest pleasures. There are a number
<v Speaker 4>of papers title, deeds, mor whig is, script and so
<v Speaker 4>on which I should like to examine. You will inherit
<v Speaker 4>them all someday, and a few words of clarification now
<v Speaker 4>will save you endo searching when that time comes.
<v Speaker 3>May that time belong the late?
<v Speaker 1>I share your wish, mister Begbie.
<v Speaker 4>I think everything is taken into account.
<v Speaker 1>Now I'll put all these.
<v Speaker 3>Papers back in the safe.
<v Speaker 4>When you've gone. Oh goodness me, it's nearly midnight. It's
<v Speaker 4>been a pleasure, sir. Indeed, oh, don't go that way
<v Speaker 4>if you don't mind, or as the doors creak, and
<v Speaker 4>I shouldn't wish to disturb missus Lexington. Unnecessary, lads, if
<v Speaker 4>you wouldn't mind the French window, of course not. I
<v Speaker 4>did have it here somewhere. I have you mislaid something?
<v Speaker 3>My stick is? I'm sure I had it with me?
<v Speaker 4>You did I don't recall. Well, my boy, I shall
<v Speaker 4>see a good deal of you. I hope if your
<v Speaker 4>stick turns up, I'll keep it here until you can
<v Speaker 4>come back to clean it. It'll be a great pleasure.
<v Speaker 4>I left you the safe, open, the papers and packets
<v Speaker 4>on the table. It was too late to get home,
<v Speaker 4>so I spent the night on hortaven Norwood. I knew
<v Speaker 4>nothing more until I've read of this horrible affair in
<v Speaker 4>the morning paper. All right then, and Armster elves anything
<v Speaker 4>you'd like to ask? Not until I've been to black Heath. Oh, yes,
<v Speaker 4>no doubt, that is what I must admit.
<v Speaker 3>Consort the ball. Consort the ball, sir, take him away.
<v Speaker 3>I'll follow later.
<v Speaker 4>Mister mister Holmes I shall do everything I can, mister McFarland, Thank.
<v Speaker 3>You, sir. I put my fast in you this way.
<v Speaker 4>Well, mister Elmes, the case is not clear to me
<v Speaker 4>yet the trade, what about you, Watson, Well, looks pretty
<v Speaker 4>clear cut to me. I'm afraid exactly, Docter. What's my goodness?
<v Speaker 3>Trade?
<v Speaker 4>You don't add imagination to your other great qualities. But
<v Speaker 4>if you could, for one moment put yourself in this
<v Speaker 4>young man's place, would you choose the very knight the
<v Speaker 4>will had been signed to commit your crime? Wouldn't it
<v Speaker 4>seem dangerous to you to make so very close a
<v Speaker 4>relation between the two incidents?
<v Speaker 3>Well?
<v Speaker 4>Would you choose an occasion when you are known to
<v Speaker 4>be in the house by the servant.
<v Speaker 3>Who'd let you in?
<v Speaker 4>And would you really take the greatest pains to conceal
<v Speaker 4>the body and yet leave your own stick lying about
<v Speaker 4>as a sign that you were the criminal? Confess the strade.
<v Speaker 4>It's all very unlikely if you know as well as
<v Speaker 4>I do that the criminal is often.
<v Speaker 3>Flooded and does things that cool memer a void.
<v Speaker 4>Suppose some tramp lurking in the garden had seen the documents,
<v Speaker 4>stare in the room with a safe wide open and
<v Speaker 4>papers all over the table except the solicitor enter the tramp.
<v Speaker 3>He seizes the stick, which.
<v Speaker 4>He finds there kills Oldacre, burns his body and the pasts.
<v Speaker 4>But why should a tramp burn the body? Why should
<v Speaker 4>not fall in?
<v Speaker 3>Yet? It is some evidence.
<v Speaker 4>Possibly the tramp wanted to conceal the fact that anym
<v Speaker 4>that all had been committed. Why did the tramp take
<v Speaker 4>nothing because he found they were just papers?
<v Speaker 3>He couldn't negotiate. Well, mister Holmes, you look for your tramp.
<v Speaker 4>Just remember one thing, though, so far as is known,
<v Speaker 4>none of those papers were removed. And our prisoners the
<v Speaker 4>one man in the world who had every reason to
<v Speaker 4>leave them all their intact, since he's soon inherit them. Anyway,
<v Speaker 4>I don't deny that the evidence papers your theory is
<v Speaker 4>strongly in this trade.
<v Speaker 3>I only wish to point out that there are other
<v Speaker 3>theories possible.
<v Speaker 4>Well, honest, be going really looking at norwad if you're passing,
<v Speaker 4>and see how we're getting on.
<v Speaker 3>Good Bye gentlemen, goodbye trade.
<v Speaker 4>Well he's got a strong case home, how Watson, if
<v Speaker 4>you're kindly help me with my coat?
<v Speaker 3>Oh certainly where you going?
<v Speaker 4>As I said, Well, I just get my court and no, no, no,
<v Speaker 4>my dear fell I.
<v Speaker 3>I don't think you can help me.
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, there's no prospect of danger. I should dream
<v Speaker 4>of starring without you. I trusted when I see you
<v Speaker 4>again this evening, I shall have been able to do
<v Speaker 4>something for this unfortunate young.
<v Speaker 3>Long ago. It's all going wrong. Whats real?
<v Speaker 4>British juries have not yet attained that pitch of intelligence
<v Speaker 4>where they'll give preference to my theories.
<v Speaker 3>Over the strains.
<v Speaker 4>Facts.
<v Speaker 3>Did you go to beg you? I did?
<v Speaker 4>Young mcparland's father was away, but his mother was at
<v Speaker 4>home a little fluffy blue eye first, I.
<v Speaker 2>Do not give you, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 5>I won't just be receive him the possibly as to
<v Speaker 5>Julie Olday for static, neither surprises nor distress me.
<v Speaker 2>You like I'm alignant and funny than a human being, always,
<v Speaker 2>even of a young man. Had that man, had he
<v Speaker 2>gone in his dead as a blessing?
<v Speaker 3>You knew him from his youth?
<v Speaker 4>Oh?
<v Speaker 2>I knew him well.
<v Speaker 1>He was asking me to marry him, Thank.
<v Speaker 2>Heaven, I had this asus.
<v Speaker 3>What was his answer today?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I'll sure you I had been the thorn. Now
<v Speaker 2>what do you think of that?
<v Speaker 3>Home.
<v Speaker 1>That's your photograph tone and yes mutilated to su sharp
<v Speaker 1>instrument hy.
<v Speaker 2>He sent it to me with his cush on the
<v Speaker 2>morning of my wedding, to mister.
<v Speaker 1>McFarlan es see, have you ever told your son of me?
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what he called, because it's a policeman
<v Speaker 3>to learn that you had.
<v Speaker 4>They would mark it down as providing an additional merchant
<v Speaker 4>for him to have murdered this man revenge for his
<v Speaker 4>past crows has.
<v Speaker 2>Who my son did not chill Jonah's old dager?
<v Speaker 4>Well, at least it could be argued that he was
<v Speaker 4>scarcely wait until the insult was wiped out before.
<v Speaker 3>Doing Oldacre had left old his capability of son.
<v Speaker 5>Neither my son nor I want tennessee from joinas Old
<v Speaker 5>Acre dead nor alive. Nothing nothing.
<v Speaker 4>The warning got was more evidence against your cloud, nothing
<v Speaker 4>to help our own hypothesis.
<v Speaker 3>What did you do off there? I went to Old
<v Speaker 3>Acres lace. They just made a great.
<v Speaker 4>Treasure trove of what kind of treasure? Trouser button houser buss.
<v Speaker 4>They'd spent the morning raking among the ashes of the
<v Speaker 4>burnt wood pile, and a.
<v Speaker 3>Number of trouser buttons had come to light. This is Lexington.
<v Speaker 4>The housekeeper swore they were once she'd sewn on for oldacre.
<v Speaker 3>This is Lexington. Eh, did you have a word with
<v Speaker 3>her home?
<v Speaker 4>I did, Botson, and I'm convinced that she could tell
<v Speaker 4>us something if she wanted to a little dark womans
<v Speaker 4>as wet.
<v Speaker 5>Joke before our past night, Joe, and I wish now
<v Speaker 5>my hand had with it that when I could turn
<v Speaker 5>the door not to any issues.
<v Speaker 3>This is Nextington. I quite appreciate your distress, the poor
<v Speaker 3>dear master. And this is Nexington. What handed you yourself?
<v Speaker 3>Retired a bit o past tender? After I hear where
<v Speaker 3>there's some things that washed up?
<v Speaker 2>And where is your woman?
<v Speaker 3>A relation of mister dass suddenly and.
<v Speaker 4>Then there I heard nothing of what happened to me?
<v Speaker 3>What work you a ben?
<v Speaker 4>The people hanging on the door with the enarmed fire,
<v Speaker 4>I'd dressing a bitself. I could smell the flesh, but sop.
<v Speaker 2>You was.
<v Speaker 4>Super quind amazing to think of her sleeping right to
<v Speaker 4>a death struggle. And they're true, Watson. I feel it
<v Speaker 4>in my bones that there's something that can come out.
<v Speaker 4>I could read it in her eyes, that sort of
<v Speaker 4>sulky defiance, which only goes with a guilty knowledge. But
<v Speaker 4>unless some lucky chance comes our way, I fear that
<v Speaker 4>the case of the Norwood Builder will not figure in
<v Speaker 4>the chronicle of our successes. That's true, I wish I
<v Speaker 4>could suggest something Halms. There is one curious little point.
<v Speaker 4>I examined Odata's bank book amongst the other papers. His
<v Speaker 4>balance struck me as rather small for a man, as
<v Speaker 4>such means. So I looked back to the entries during
<v Speaker 4>the last year. I found that a number of large
<v Speaker 4>checks had been made out of a mister Cornelius who
<v Speaker 4>he I don't know. His name doesn't appear in any
<v Speaker 4>of the documents.
<v Speaker 3>Kelly, But what is it?
<v Speaker 4>Does it?
<v Speaker 3>Hudson?
<v Speaker 2>A telegram for you at homes?
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Thank you? Hm? Is there a reply, sir, h No, no,
<v Speaker 3>thank you. Well that appears to be that from the trade.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, important fresh evidence to hand. Mcfarlin's gilt definitely established.
<v Speaker 4>Advise you to abandon the cases. It's Lustrade's little cocker
<v Speaker 4>doodle of victory. Serious and yet it may be premature
<v Speaker 4>to abandon the case. Important fresh evidence could be a
<v Speaker 4>two edged thing. It may just possibly cut in a
<v Speaker 4>very different direction from the onedustraded magion. Coming on, My
<v Speaker 4>dear fellow, I feel in need of your company and
<v Speaker 4>model support. Today we will go out to Norwood and
<v Speaker 4>see what we can do. I formed no conclusion or
<v Speaker 4>ever austrade.
<v Speaker 3>Instead, this way, gentlemen, I think I could convince you
<v Speaker 3>once and for all. See this headback, Yes, well, where
<v Speaker 3>young m Farler must have come out to get.
<v Speaker 4>His hat after the crime was done. Now I'll strike
<v Speaker 4>a light so gloomy and here.
<v Speaker 3>Now look at this.
<v Speaker 4>A fingerprint eat blood, actually a thumb print, doctor, look
<v Speaker 4>at it through your limbs and stones.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I'm doing so. You are aware that those two
<v Speaker 3>thumbprints are alike. I have said something of the kind.
<v Speaker 4>I let's hold this next to it, the wax impression
<v Speaker 4>of mcfallen's thumb, taken by my orders this morning.
<v Speaker 3>Hmm, that's final. Yes, that's final. It did final. But
<v Speaker 3>what a providential thing that this young man.
<v Speaker 4>Should press his right thumb against the wall and taking
<v Speaker 4>his hat from the bags. A bit natural action too. Oh,
<v Speaker 4>by the way, he who made this remarkable discovery? It
<v Speaker 4>was a housekeeper, missus Lexington. But why didn't the police
<v Speaker 4>see this mark earlier? I suppose there is no doubt
<v Speaker 4>that it was there earlier.
<v Speaker 3>Eh. Oh, well, I'll be about the place if you
<v Speaker 3>want me. I've got a report to get on.
<v Speaker 4>With the points about this development that hold us some
<v Speaker 4>new hopes for him. What I'm like to hear that
<v Speaker 4>you see there's one really serious flaw in this new discovery.
<v Speaker 3>What is it on? It is?
<v Speaker 4>But I know that thumb print was not there when
<v Speaker 4>I examined this hall earlier.
<v Speaker 3>Good question, Now come along. I wish to inspect this
<v Speaker 3>whole house inside.
<v Speaker 4>And out, and then we'll trouble the straight to grant
<v Speaker 4>us one final indwn, you like, miss Holmes, I understood
<v Speaker 4>that you were writing a report of this case, So
<v Speaker 4>I am suppose you think it might be a little premature.
<v Speaker 3>I can't help thinking that your evidence is not completing.
<v Speaker 3>Well you mean, mister.
<v Speaker 4>Holmes, only that there's an important witness whom you have
<v Speaker 4>not seen.
<v Speaker 3>Who can you produce him? I think I can?
<v Speaker 4>Oh how many constables said you two wooden call.
<v Speaker 3>Both large able bodied men with powerful voices. But what
<v Speaker 3>the wishes got to do with this kind?
<v Speaker 4>You some on them here and tell them to bring
<v Speaker 4>a considerable quantity of straw. Straw there's plenty in the
<v Speaker 4>outhouse that two bungles will do. Oh and a couple
<v Speaker 4>of buckets of water downs. If you know something you
<v Speaker 4>can say without all this tompuri, I assure you, my
<v Speaker 4>goodness tray, that I had an excellent reason for everything
<v Speaker 4>I do. Kindly ask the constables to bring the things
<v Speaker 4>to the top landing of the house as.
<v Speaker 2>Soon as.
<v Speaker 3>I'll just pile the straw together.
<v Speaker 4>Here, my good man, about yourself, Now we have the
<v Speaker 4>buckets of reddin.
<v Speaker 3>Capital. Will one of you open death window? Peace? Is
<v Speaker 3>it Watson?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Scooms if you.
<v Speaker 4>Are boxing matches about you, of course, yes, sir you are.
<v Speaker 4>Now kindly put a match to the edge of that straw. What, oh,
<v Speaker 4>profably wilcome now as the glass from the window carries
<v Speaker 4>the smooth down the corridor, might I ask you all
<v Speaker 4>to join into the cry of fire?
<v Speaker 3>Yes now lady one, two, three, I probably once again?
<v Speaker 4>Just once more, gentlemen, then all together Watson, Hello, what
<v Speaker 4>the love of Heaven save you? Come on, Watson, a
<v Speaker 4>back of the water over that spot you be, Thank
<v Speaker 4>you Watson.
<v Speaker 3>Now that's straight.
<v Speaker 4>Allow me to present you with your missing witness, mister
<v Speaker 4>Jonas Oldaker.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, what, old acre, I've done no harm. You've got
<v Speaker 3>nothing against me, no harm.
<v Speaker 4>You've done your best to get an innocent man hanged
<v Speaker 4>presently by my practical joke.
<v Speaker 3>Oh joke, what is?
<v Speaker 4>You won't find a laugh on your side. I promise
<v Speaker 4>you comes to board. Eh taking downstairs in the sitting
<v Speaker 4>room until I come. Mister Holmes's eye, you've saved an
<v Speaker 4>innocent man's life, and you've prevented a skill that well,
<v Speaker 4>but I'll ruin my reputation in the force.
<v Speaker 3>Cheer up the tread.
<v Speaker 4>Instead of being ruined, you'll find your reputation enormously enhanced.
<v Speaker 3>You mean, you know what's your name to appear? Not
<v Speaker 3>at all? The work is its own reward. Well, let's
<v Speaker 3>see where that rest.
<v Speaker 4>Has been lurking and said joys they came out of
<v Speaker 4>I never noticed it, no, because they were so well concealed.
<v Speaker 4>He's a builder, remember, Yeah, see here, this little partition
<v Speaker 4>is almost impossible to distinguish. He was able to fix
<v Speaker 4>up his own little hiding place without any confederate, save
<v Speaker 4>that precious.
<v Speaker 3>Housekeeper of his.
<v Speaker 4>By the way, I should lose no time in any
<v Speaker 4>thirty or beg less trade.
<v Speaker 3>Don't worry if she won't get far. But Holmes, how
<v Speaker 3>on earth did you know he was in the house
<v Speaker 3>at all.
<v Speaker 4>The thumb mark. I'd examined the hall the day before
<v Speaker 4>and the mark had not been there. Therefore it had
<v Speaker 4>been made since. But McFarland was under lock and key
<v Speaker 4>when they were sealing those documents. Old Acre got mcfarden
<v Speaker 4>to secure one of the sealers by pressing his thumb
<v Speaker 4>into the hot wax.
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps it wasn't.
<v Speaker 4>Even contrived deliberately, but later, brooding in that hiding place
<v Speaker 4>of his old Acre remembered it, and it suddenly, fucking
<v Speaker 4>what absolutely damning evidence he could make against macpardy.
<v Speaker 3>By using that thumb mark.
<v Speaker 4>It was the simkest thing in the world to get
<v Speaker 4>his housekeeper fetch him the sealance of wax from which
<v Speaker 4>he made an impression. Then all he had to do
<v Speaker 4>was to moistnage was as much glad as he could
<v Speaker 4>get from a thin prick in his own finger, and
<v Speaker 4>get her to impress the mark on the wall when
<v Speaker 4>nobody was about. It's wonderful, clear as crystal. Will you
<v Speaker 4>put it like that? But what you all about, mister Holmes,
<v Speaker 4>ah a very deep, malicious vindictive person as a gentleman
<v Speaker 4>who is now awaiting his downstairs. You know that he
<v Speaker 4>was once refused by McFarland's mother.
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I didn't know that. You didn't.
<v Speaker 4>I told you to go to black Heath first, nor
<v Speaker 4>would have to, oh jars Well. This injury, as he
<v Speaker 4>would consider it, has rankled in his wicked, scheming brain
<v Speaker 4>all his life. He's long for vengeance, had never seen
<v Speaker 4>his chance, and now he suddenly finds himself in a
<v Speaker 4>bad way financially. To save himself, he pays large checks
<v Speaker 4>to a mister Cornelius, whom I've no doubt is himself.
<v Speaker 4>He intended to disappear under that name, thus escaping his
<v Speaker 4>creditors once and for.
<v Speaker 3>All, and contrived his death to put them off. A simpert,
<v Speaker 3>he didn't know where to stop. Eh No, that supreme
<v Speaker 3>gift of the artist was lacking.
<v Speaker 4>He wished to improve what was already perfect, to draw
<v Speaker 4>the rope tight a yet round his victim's neck, and
<v Speaker 4>in so doing he ruined all.
<v Speaker 3>Diabolical Mister Holmes, I congratulate you.
<v Speaker 4>Now let us descend the strade. There are one or
<v Speaker 4>two questions I would ask him.
<v Speaker 3>With a duke my good sir. I'm sure that you
<v Speaker 3>wouldn't be so unjust as to imagine that I would
<v Speaker 3>have allowed any harm to befall poor young mister McFarlane.
<v Speaker 3>As for the jury to aside, and you will probably.
<v Speaker 4>Find that your creditors will impound the banking account of
<v Speaker 4>mister Cornelia. I have to thank you for a good deal,
<v Speaker 4>mister Holmes. Perhaps I will pay my debt someday. I'll
<v Speaker 4>say that for some few years you will find your
<v Speaker 4>time very fully occupied by the way. What was it
<v Speaker 4>you put into the wood pile beside the trouser buttons
<v Speaker 4>a dead dog? Or read it?
<v Speaker 1>Or what all?
<v Speaker 4>You won't tell hear me, how very unkind of it? Well, well,
<v Speaker 4>if ever you write an account.
<v Speaker 3>Watson, you can make ready serve yourself.
<v Speaker 4>The case of the Norwood Builder was one of the
<v Speaker 4>Sherlock Holmes stories, the inspired Kennis Ralph Conan Doyle.
<v Speaker 3>My name, my real name is Norman Shedding.
<v Speaker 4>My friend calls in Hobbspeade Sherlock Holmes, and I was
<v Speaker 4>doctor Watson. Michael Hardwick wrote the script for this lead
<v Speaker 4>see production from London, and I look forward to the
<v Speaker 4>pleasure of your company again soon For more of the
