<v Speaker 1>It's no use. <v Speaker 2>Holmes will never joice now. I'm a faintness fool that <v Speaker 2>life was not to allow for the end of well, <v Speaker 2>probably all right. Nothing's happened to her, and have happened <v Speaker 2>been truck with me? Her quite child? What's he looking? <v Speaker 2>What she tribal it? She did abducted Wilder, but knows <v Speaker 2>what when his advice led others into danger. <v Speaker 3>My friend Sherlock Holmes was always the first to suffer <v Speaker 3>for regardless of the true cause, he always blamed himself. <v Speaker 3>My name is Watson, doctor Watson, and it was my <v Speaker 3>privilege to share the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I will <v Speaker 3>tell you what happened in the case of the solitary Cyclist. <v Speaker 3>The details were in my notebooks, if I may refer <v Speaker 3>to them a moment. I'm referring to my notebook for <v Speaker 3>the eating ninety five. I find that you've been on <v Speaker 3>Saturday for the tended third the Charlotte Holmes and I <v Speaker 3>first heard of miss Violet Smith, the solitary sectist of Charleston, <v Speaker 3>the young and beautifulman who presented herself for two to <v Speaker 3>one b. <v Speaker 2>Baker Street late that evening and implored his assistance and advice. <v Speaker 2>At least, it can't be your health that's troubling you, <v Speaker 2>miss Smith. So aren't a bicyclist must be full of energy? <v Speaker 4>Bicycle Smith, how do you mean that, mister Holmes? <v Speaker 2>A slight rightening of the cells of your shoes at <v Speaker 2>the size the fiction of the edge of the pedal? <v Speaker 4>Well, yea, I do bicycle, Oh homes, you will excuse me, <v Speaker 4>I'm sure, miss Smith. <v Speaker 2>I took your hand out of curiosity. Curiosity, it's my business. <v Speaker 2>I nearly fell in today, and I supposing that you <v Speaker 2>were typewriting. But it's objects, of course, that is music. <v Speaker 2>Do you see what's observed the specular finger, and it's <v Speaker 2>common to both professions. <v Speaker 3>Yes, there's a as plituality about the face which the typewriter. <v Speaker 2>Does not generate. No, this lady is a musician, Yes, <v Speaker 2>mister Holmes, I tis music in the country, I presumed <v Speaker 2>from your complexion. <v Speaker 4>Yes, sir, Nia farmon on the border to Surrey. <v Speaker 2>What has happened to you? Near Farnham on the borders <v Speaker 2>of Salay. <v Speaker 4>My father is dead, mister Holmes. My mother and I <v Speaker 4>were left with that religion in the world except for <v Speaker 4>uncle Ralph Ralph Smith. He went to South Africa twenty <v Speaker 4>five years ago, and we've never had a work. From instance, <v Speaker 4>when father died we were left very poor. But one day, <v Speaker 4>about four months ago we were told that there was <v Speaker 4>an advertisement in the Times inquiring for our whereabouts where <v Speaker 4>You can imagine how excited we was. We had it <v Speaker 4>off to the lawyer whose name was given in the paper. <v Speaker 4>In his office he introduced the two other gentlemen, and <v Speaker 4>mister Carruthers and a mister Woodley, and then withdrew, leaving <v Speaker 4>us alone. <v Speaker 5>Well, man, I'll explain right away that mister Woodley here <v Speaker 5>and I a home on a visit from South Africa. Oh, yes, yes, <v Speaker 5>so we were all friends that are of a relative <v Speaker 5>of yours, mister Ralph Smith. Oh indeed, I regret to <v Speaker 5>say that mister Smith died some little while ago. <v Speaker 4>Mark, I see that we had heard nothing. <v Speaker 5>Of course, he died in poverty, ma'am, oh Bodley and <v Speaker 5>I visited Ralph Smith at his death bed. <v Speaker 2>He asked us, almost with his last breath. <v Speaker 5>To look up his relations here in the old country <v Speaker 5>and see that they were in no want. You'll excuse <v Speaker 5>the question now, but how exactly are you placed? <v Speaker 4>I don't know why you're asking, gentlemen, but if you <v Speaker 4>want the truth. <v Speaker 2>With barely two pennies to run together, I have a <v Speaker 2>proposition to put to you. <v Speaker 5>A proposition, Missus Smith. I have a daughter aged ken <v Speaker 5>down their father in Surrey. <v Speaker 2>I am a widower and the child needs a woman's <v Speaker 2>care and attention. <v Speaker 5>I don't know whether miss Smith has ever considered the <v Speaker 5>position of governess. <v Speaker 4>I am a music teacher, sir, I am saying, yes, <v Speaker 4>I'm out of a position. <v Speaker 2>What's more a music teacher? But that couldn't be better. <v Speaker 2>My little guardian shows every musical promise they tell me. <v Speaker 5>I never dream that Miss Smith do come down to <v Speaker 5>Surrey and teach my pet. <v Speaker 4>You said you? Alas, yes about My household is managed <v Speaker 4>by my housekeeper, Missus Dixon, a lady of the highest respectability. <v Speaker 4>I shouldn't like to leave my mother alone in London. <v Speaker 2>Oh, don't worry about me. <v Speaker 5>But there'd be no question of it now Miss Smith <v Speaker 5>could come home for you every weekend. <v Speaker 2>I'm with a good way to her body. Say ThReD <v Speaker 2>pounds a year? <v Speaker 5>Hundred? <v Speaker 4>Oh please dear say you'll go? Oh why, oh, very <v Speaker 4>well done? It shall be as you wish and so <v Speaker 4>you went down to Farlow, Miss Smith. But then it <v Speaker 4>was much less than i'd be Madge, mister Holmes. The <v Speaker 4>first floor in my happiness came when mister Woodley arrived <v Speaker 4>to visit for a week. <v Speaker 2>What happened? <v Speaker 4>Oh yes, he made odious love to me. He boasted <v Speaker 4>it as well and said that if I married him, <v Speaker 4>I should have the fines starlings in London who It <v Speaker 4>made no difference when I told him about still Cyril Martin. <v Speaker 4>He's an electrical engineer in coverage. We hope to be <v Speaker 4>married at the end of the summer. But this didn't <v Speaker 4>stop mister Woodley. He's he seized me in his arms <v Speaker 4>and saw that he wouldn't make me go. <v Speaker 2>Until I've getting me found. <v Speaker 4>Luckily, mister Carrathers came in and towardly phone me. Mister <v Speaker 4>carrad has apologized to me next day and well, I've <v Speaker 4>never seen mister. <v Speaker 2>Woodisson's very distressing for you, Miss Smith, but such incidents <v Speaker 2>are not unknown. What special thing has caused you to <v Speaker 2>receipt my advice? It is this. <v Speaker 4>Every Saturday morning I ride my bicycle to Farming Station <v Speaker 4>to get the twelve twenty two to town. <v Speaker 1>Yea. <v Speaker 4>The road from Chiltern Granges is lonely, and it's quite <v Speaker 4>rare to meet so much as a cart along one <v Speaker 4>street of it, where Charlington Heath lies on one side <v Speaker 4>and the woods around Charlington Hall on the other. Well, <v Speaker 4>two weeks ago I was passing this place when I <v Speaker 4>chanced to look back over my shoulder, and about two <v Speaker 4>hundred yards behind me, I saw a man or also <v Speaker 4>on a bicycle, and I looked out. I thought I <v Speaker 4>reached Farnham, but man was gone, so I thought no <v Speaker 4>more about it. But imagine my surprise, mister Holmes, when <v Speaker 4>on my return on Monday, I saw the same man <v Speaker 4>on the same get your road or even more astonishing, <v Speaker 4>the incident occurred again exactly before on the following Saturday <v Speaker 4>and Monday. <v Speaker 2>Can you describe this man well? <v Speaker 4>As far as I could see, he was middle aged, <v Speaker 4>and he had a short, dark fear that he always <v Speaker 4>kept a distance from me. <v Speaker 2>Did you miss him to yes? <v Speaker 4>Well, he seemed very interested and told me he had <v Speaker 4>ordered a horse and trap. Willard inciature, I shouldn't have <v Speaker 4>to pass over that lonely road without a compenion. <v Speaker 2>Very considerate of him. What next? <v Speaker 4>The horse and trap would to have come this week, <v Speaker 4>but for some reason they were not delivered, and again <v Speaker 4>I had to cycle to the station. But that was <v Speaker 4>this morning. Yes, was sure enough there was the man <v Speaker 4>following me for however, today I wasn't alarmed, but still <v Speaker 4>with curiosity, and I was determined to find out who <v Speaker 4>he was and what he wanted. <v Speaker 2>What else did you do? I laid a. <v Speaker 4>Trap for him. The road turned sharply just past the <v Speaker 4>entrance to Charlington Hall. I peddled very quickly around it, <v Speaker 4>and then I stopped and waited. I expected him to <v Speaker 4>shoot around and passed me before he could stop, but <v Speaker 4>he never appears. I went back and looked round the corner. <v Speaker 4>I could see a mile of road, but he wasn't <v Speaker 4>on it, and there was no side road that he <v Speaker 4>could have gone. <v Speaker 2>Down, Miss Smith, have you any admirers other than mister <v Speaker 2>stle Morton. <v Speaker 4>It may be my fancy things sometimes that my employer, <v Speaker 4>mister car is quite interested in me. We are thrown <v Speaker 4>rather together. I play his accompaniments in the evening. Oh <v Speaker 4>he didn't said anything. He's a perfect gentleman. But the <v Speaker 4>girl always knows. <v Speaker 2>I see well, Miss Smith. I'm very busy just now, <v Speaker 2>but I'll find time to make some inquiries into your own. <v Speaker 4>Oh thank you, mister. <v Speaker 2>Take no step without letting me, now, I promise you. <v Speaker 4>Mister Holmes, good morning, gentlemen. <v Speaker 2>Charming little thing home? Emp you sleep? Charming. It's part <v Speaker 2>of the settled order of nature that such a girl <v Speaker 2>should have followers. Yeah, but not for choice on bicycles <v Speaker 2>in the lonely country road. And why should he appear <v Speaker 2>only that one point? Exactly? Our first effort must be defined. <v Speaker 2>Who are the tenets of Charlington Hall? <v Speaker 4>Right? <v Speaker 2>Then again, how about the connection between Corutheras and Woodley. <v Speaker 3>It seemed to be totally different types here They were <v Speaker 3>both keen on looking up Ralphsmith's relations. <v Speaker 2>And what sort of a menage is it which pays <v Speaker 2>double the market price for the governess but doesn't keep <v Speaker 2>a horse and clap of its own? Although six miles <v Speaker 2>from the station, ard Watson, there they are. Are you <v Speaker 2>going down? No, my dear fellow. You will go down <v Speaker 2>on Monday. You will arrive early at Farnham. You will <v Speaker 2>conceal yourself near Charlington Hall. You will observe these facts <v Speaker 2>for yourself, inquire as to the occupants of the hall, <v Speaker 2>and then come back to me in report. <v Speaker 1>Oh well, very well, home, very well. <v Speaker 3>And there he was following behind e just as he <v Speaker 3>told us home. She tried flowing down and stopping that <v Speaker 3>he did the same, but then she suddenly whisked her <v Speaker 3>wheel around. <v Speaker 2>And dashed straight at him. <v Speaker 3>Really well post us up, but he simply turned his <v Speaker 3>machine and darted off in desperate flight. See when she <v Speaker 3>turned again to carry on the way she'd been going, <v Speaker 3>he turned too, and they both passed me in their <v Speaker 3>respective sessions. However, I stayed where I was, behind the <v Speaker 3>Gospels on the heath, and it was just as well <v Speaker 3>that I did. After a while, the henry had paid <v Speaker 3>around the corner, so I cleaned slowly. <v Speaker 2>He turned in at the hall gates as you thought, ah, <v Speaker 2>And then I lost Simon, Oh you did. <v Speaker 3>However, it seemed to me that I had done a fellow. <v Speaker 2>Good morning's work. <v Speaker 3>So I walked back into Farnam and called at the <v Speaker 3>house agels By, making out that I wanted to know <v Speaker 3>Charlington Hall was on the market for a summer let. <v Speaker 3>I found out that it had been led about a <v Speaker 3>month ago when an elderly gentleman named Williamson. <v Speaker 2>They wouldn't say anymore. Their homes. How is that you <v Speaker 2>really have done remarkably bed homes for a trip, and <v Speaker 2>then you go to a house agent to find out <v Speaker 2>who he is? <v Speaker 1>Where? <v Speaker 2>Should I have got to the nearest public house, that's <v Speaker 2>the center of country gossip. They'd have told you every <v Speaker 2>name from the masters of the scullery. Maid, Well, I <v Speaker 2>got his name, Williamson. Come in the post or just <v Speaker 2>put it down over there, missus Hudson. Oh no, wait, sir, <v Speaker 2>there might possibly be Yes, there is, Thank you, missus Hudson, <v Speaker 2>Thank you, sir. Ah, Yes, yes, what did it? I <v Speaker 2>have rather thought I might receive some accounts of this <v Speaker 2>latest episode from miss Smith herself. Did it? Yes? I <v Speaker 2>am sure that you will respect my confidence, mister Holmes, <v Speaker 2>when I tell you that my place here has become <v Speaker 2>difficult owing to the fact that my employer has proposed <v Speaker 2>marriage to me. I am convinced that his feelings are <v Speaker 2>most deep and most honorable at the same time, and <v Speaker 2>my promise is, of course given. He took my refusal <v Speaker 2>very seriously, but also very gently. You can understand, however, <v Speaker 2>that the situation is a little strained. Our young friend <v Speaker 2>seems to be getting into deep waters. Watson, I should <v Speaker 2>be none the worse for a quiet, peaceful day in <v Speaker 2>the country. I'm in tied to run down this afternoon <v Speaker 2>and test one or two theories I found. Oh, and <v Speaker 2>the best of good luck to your homes. <v Speaker 1>That's what I can say. <v Speaker 2>Good afternoon, hear you, sir?

Thank you, sir, your <v Speaker 2>best health, sir, and yours landlord. Oh, by the bye, <v Speaker 2>I came down on the absence to seeing an old <v Speaker 2>friend who told me he was taking Charlington Paul for <v Speaker 2>a sum. Oh, mister Williamson would that way?

We live <v Speaker 2>homes and. <v Speaker 1>Now see the miss Smith. <v Speaker 2>Why are you telling me that girl that angel is <v Speaker 2>to be kind to Roaring jet Woodley for life. You <v Speaker 2>needn't concern yourself about death, mister carrother We're very safe <v Speaker 2>in questioning mister Williams's right to columnize their name marriage. <v Speaker 2>In any case, a fourth marriage is no marriage at all. <v Speaker 2>It's the very scariest felony as you'll discover. No shoot yourself. <v Speaker 2>You'll have time to think to point over during the <v Speaker 2>next ten years or so. And there As to you, Carrothers, <v Speaker 2>you'd have done better to have kept your. <v Speaker 1>Pistol and yourself. <v Speaker 2>God be good to think so. <v Speaker 5>But I love her, mister Holmes. It's the only time <v Speaker 5>I've ever known what love was. You'd hardly credit. <v Speaker 2>It ever since she's been in my employment. <v Speaker 5>I'd never let her go past his house once without <v Speaker 5>following her on my bicycle to see that she came <v Speaker 5>to no harm from that brute. <v Speaker 2>Oh so that was why? <v Speaker 1>Oh miss all right, I told her to sit down. <v Speaker 2>And write flend it. But why did you not simply <v Speaker 2>tell miss Smith of the danger, because she might have <v Speaker 2>left my house for good. <v Speaker 3>Do you call him out love, mister coronve, I should <v Speaker 3>call her selfishness. <v Speaker 2>Maybe that two things go together. Anyway, I couldn't better <v Speaker 2>let her go. And then when the cable came up, <v Speaker 2>I knew they were boundling conveniently cable cars. You can <v Speaker 2>blink her back. The girl and your hearts can take. <v Speaker 2>But if you squeal, your reference need not be so excited. <v Speaker 2>The case is clear enough. Again he's plucking. I do <v Speaker 2>the talking, Williamson, and then you will see how far <v Speaker 2>you have a chance of holding back your secrets. God. <v Speaker 2>In the first stag, the three of you came together <v Speaker 2>from South Am game you Williamson, you Carrothers and Woodley. <v Speaker 2>There lie about one. I never saw either other Jim <v Speaker 2>a couple of months ago. So what decond your pipe <v Speaker 2>has smoke it, mister busy Bobby ho So it reverences <v Speaker 2>our own home laid article that you Carrathers and Woodley <v Speaker 2>came over from barb Africa. You'd known Ralph Smith there. <v Speaker 2>You had reason to believe he wouldn't live long. You <v Speaker 2>found out that his lease would inherit his for you. <v Speaker 2>If it's true your plan was that one and you <v Speaker 2>should marry and the other should share the count. For <v Speaker 2>some reason, they would show them to my husband. Now, <v Speaker 2>why was it we played cards for her on the <v Speaker 2>voyage over? He wam well rarely, I see you got <v Speaker 2>the young lady into your service, and Woodley came to <v Speaker 2>courser that she saw what a drunken brute was and <v Speaker 2>had had nothing to do with him. Meanwhile, your arrangement <v Speaker 2>was rather upset by your having fallen in love with <v Speaker 2>there your so you could no longer bear the idea <v Speaker 2>that Russian. Oh, by George, I couldn't you quarrel up? <v Speaker 2>He left you in a rage and began to make <v Speaker 2>his own plans independently with Williams. <v Speaker 5>Do you see Williamson hes it all without my telling him, Yes, <v Speaker 5>mister Holmes, that was when he picked up with this <v Speaker 5>so called padre. <v Speaker 2>They set up out here, and as I told you, <v Speaker 2>I was fayful in my way. <v Speaker 5>They miss Smith as the cycled passed, so I kept <v Speaker 5>following her as far as these grounds. <v Speaker 2>And then two days ago Woodley brought a cable to <v Speaker 2>show me tell you that Draelph Smith was dead at <v Speaker 2>last and reminding you to keep your part in the bargain, just. <v Speaker 5>That you refuse well, of course, so he asked me <v Speaker 5>to marriage the girl myself and give him a share <v Speaker 5>of her money. Why should I do that willingly? But <v Speaker 5>that she wouldn't have me, he said, Let's get her <v Speaker 5>married first, and after a week or two she may <v Speaker 5>see things a bit different. <v Speaker 2>Mister Carrothers, you had a share in an evil plot. <v Speaker 2>I am aware of that, sir. However, I think you've <v Speaker 2>done what you could to make amend.
