Sherlock Holmes - The Stock Brokers Clerk

<v Speaker 1>You can't be.
<v Speaker 2>That's all reason went into rooms.
<v Speaker 1>Wait is the frame.
<v Speaker 2>The furniture of us sit with any one share with sea.
<v Speaker 3>Frequently cases of my friend Charlock Holmes began quietly enough,
<v Speaker 3>but let on the rather violent developments. My name is Watson,
<v Speaker 3>doctor Watson, and it was my privilege to share the.
<v Speaker 4>Adventures of Charlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you about the.
<v Speaker 3>Case of the stockbroker's clerk. After my marriage, I still
<v Speaker 3>visited homes now and then to see what new case
<v Speaker 3>he was engaged on, and even I become engaged on
<v Speaker 3>it myself as uful here in a moment. Well, my dear,
<v Speaker 3>what time.
<v Speaker 1>I'm likely to see you again?
<v Speaker 2>And I hope the care that your new practice hadn't
<v Speaker 2>entirely obliterated the interest you used to take in my
<v Speaker 2>little deductions problem.
<v Speaker 4>Far from it. Why only last night I was looking
<v Speaker 4>over my own not I was.
<v Speaker 2>Satisfying some pass excellent, But I thought, you don't consider
<v Speaker 2>your collection, No, not at all. There's nothing I like
<v Speaker 2>better than they have some more experiences to add to.
<v Speaker 1>It today, for example, Yes, of.
<v Speaker 4>Course that's far off.
<v Speaker 1>Tas Burningham.
<v Speaker 2>Oh certain, listen, you're quite sure you're fit enough to travel.
<v Speaker 2>Did I told you I never felt better?
<v Speaker 1>But you've not been too well late.
<v Speaker 4>I see now how on earth your slippers? Of course they're.
<v Speaker 1>Quite obvious in you. It's not more than a few
<v Speaker 1>weeks old in tech, and it's just the souls. When
<v Speaker 1>you were sitting up this miner soul, that's of course.
<v Speaker 4>For a moment I thought you must have got.
<v Speaker 2>Some wet and dried them a little too vigorous. Lift,
<v Speaker 2>But near the insteps there's a little waif of paper
<v Speaker 2>with the shopman paradgics on it. Damp would have had
<v Speaker 2>that off.
<v Speaker 4>Obviously you've been sitting with your.
<v Speaker 2>Feet stretched out to the fire, and the man would
<v Speaker 2>hardly sits so long in front of a far in
<v Speaker 2>June if you were in these.
<v Speaker 1>Full self right as usual.
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes afraid I give too much of my methods away
<v Speaker 2>when I explained things, results without causes are much more impressive.
<v Speaker 2>But come along, my dear hello clad mister whole pipe
<v Speaker 2>clock is waiting in the cab and we have to
<v Speaker 2>catch the flames for Bury. Well now, mister Pyecroft, we
<v Speaker 2>have a clear.
<v Speaker 1>Run of seventy minutes ahead of yes, son, I'd.
<v Speaker 2>Like you to tell doctor Watson, all the details of
<v Speaker 2>your very interesting experience exactly as you gave it me,
<v Speaker 2>and it'll be a pleasure. In even greater detail as possible.
<v Speaker 1>It'll be useful to me to get it all again.
<v Speaker 4>You'll appreciate this case Boson there good.
<v Speaker 2>Then let's care about it, mister Pyecroft. Well it goes
<v Speaker 2>like this, then I'm a sottbroker clock. I used to
<v Speaker 2>have a billet with cocks and and woods of Draper's gardens,
<v Speaker 2>but they came a nasty cropper and we crafts were
<v Speaker 2>turned to drift all twenty seven old Thank you, Old
<v Speaker 2>Coxton did what he could. He gave me a ripping
<v Speaker 2>good testimonial, but I couldn't get another place anywhere. Well,
<v Speaker 2>I've been getting three pounds a week at Coxon's, and
<v Speaker 2>I'd say it's about seventy of them. That didn't go
<v Speaker 2>any farther. Well, then suddenly I saw vacant see as
<v Speaker 2>Morton and Williams and Lambards. It's one of the best. Well,
<v Speaker 2>you will had to apply by letter only, so I
<v Speaker 2>sent my name and that was that, I thought him.
<v Speaker 2>But back came an answer by return, said if i'd
<v Speaker 2>turn up on Monday, and I looked all right for
<v Speaker 2>them to bill it was mine.
<v Speaker 4>The unpredictable lethods of the city.
<v Speaker 2>I've often heard the manager just plunges his hand into the.
<v Speaker 1>Heat and takes the first the garden.
<v Speaker 2>Still, Morton's are the top terms of the Woston third,
<v Speaker 2>so I suppose my reference must have done the trick. Anyway,
<v Speaker 2>all that mattered was that my innings seems to have
<v Speaker 2>come at last. The screw was a pounds a week
<v Speaker 2>more than at Coxon's book. But here's where the queer
<v Speaker 2>part out of the business begins. I was back in
<v Speaker 2>my disks of Hampshire that night having a bit of
<v Speaker 2>a smoke when my landlady came the thing you oh anyway,
<v Speaker 2>I know, miss oh, I can't say, dear the card
<v Speaker 2>pinner financial issues. Well, I don't know what it's about,
<v Speaker 2>but you'd better ask him to step into Will.
<v Speaker 1>You come this way first, very girl?
<v Speaker 4>But oh Piecraft, I believe yes, Oh will you?
<v Speaker 1>Will you take a chair? Thanks?
<v Speaker 2>Mister and mister Pyecraft has Lacel and William Valley Williams.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's right.

<v Speaker 2>letters today taking me on.

<v Speaker 2>No, I haven't set eyes on them. I don't start
<v Speaker 2>till Monday.
<v Speaker 4>You were formerly with Cockswall and Woodhouse.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, do you mind.
<v Speaker 1>If I ask row, mister Pycroft.
<v Speaker 2>The fact is I've heard some really extraordinary stories about
<v Speaker 2>your financial ability, not me talking to Parker, you know,
<v Speaker 2>used to be Coxton's manager.
<v Speaker 1>Can't say enough for you.
<v Speaker 2>That's a nice looking as Indeed he's a good Sollo Parker.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, first rate.

<v Speaker 2>but there wasn't a Franco Middland Hardware, company among them.

<v Speaker 2>were their addresses. Figure out it, mister Bakoff, and that
<v Speaker 2>they have the result by Monday at twelve.
<v Speaker 1>Hardly melagerial work, hard lips. But we're all pitching in
<v Speaker 1>at whatever needs.
<v Speaker 2>Doing for the party. And then I found the cheap
<v Speaker 2>hotel and settled down to do it.
<v Speaker 5>He don't, mister home.
<v Speaker 2>We're pretty mixed feelings, writer. Well, yes, indeed, on the
<v Speaker 2>one hand I was destined to be engaged, and I
<v Speaker 2>had one hundred pounds in my pocket. But on the
<v Speaker 2>other hand, well, the look of those offices, I.
<v Speaker 5>Must say, I thought they'd fixed themselves up with something
<v Speaker 5>of his bitter.
<v Speaker 2>Well, anyway, I settled down to the job he'd given me.
<v Speaker 2>I soon found it wasn't going to be done by
<v Speaker 2>Monday either. By the time I went through with the
<v Speaker 2>pennant again, I only got for the letter h. He
<v Speaker 2>told me to go away cheap assistance with Wednesday and then.
<v Speaker 1>Come and see him again.
<v Speaker 4>Well I did.
<v Speaker 2>Thus the god still wasn't finished.
<v Speaker 1>Even then.
<v Speaker 2>Mister Penner told me not to worry, but to push
<v Speaker 2>on with it still and see him again.
<v Speaker 4>Fred, So I did.
<v Speaker 1>It took me till this morning. I'd never have believed
<v Speaker 1>there were half as many hardware tea that's in Paris.
<v Speaker 1>Well there you get some idea that last of the
<v Speaker 1>size of.
<v Speaker 4>Tree you're going to be handling too, Yes, I do.
<v Speaker 2>Well, the best thing is to ask you if you
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't mind keeping at him until everything's clear at the
<v Speaker 2>other end.
<v Speaker 1>But I've finished now.
<v Speaker 4>My boy, You just think for a moment.
<v Speaker 2>Doesn't anyone else sell crockery besides hardware for her?
<v Speaker 1>Well? I suppose yes, the furniture people do.
<v Speaker 4>Over here.
<v Speaker 2>I stay in front.
<v Speaker 1>Ah, that's just the brand of acumen forgetting to the top.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.
<v Speaker 4>So what I want you to do now is to
<v Speaker 4>take away that.
<v Speaker 2>Invaluable director against and start marking at the furniture. Sir.
<v Speaker 1>It's very good. No, don't be down hard in my boys.
<v Speaker 2>I really want I may hear some news from London.
<v Speaker 1>By tomorrow morning. I'll be out and about all day.
<v Speaker 1>But if you pop up here at with there seven
<v Speaker 1>of them of evening.
<v Speaker 2>Oh may be ready to put you out of this
<v Speaker 2>the spoke, and I'm very good inn and don't guess
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow is Saturday, all work and no play.
<v Speaker 4>You know, how can you see me in the evening?
<v Speaker 1>Why not cut along for a couple of hours a
<v Speaker 1>day's music hall.
<v Speaker 4>It's just the place for young blood like you. What
<v Speaker 4>an extraordinary way to run.
<v Speaker 1>The business, nay home remarkable.
<v Speaker 2>Tell me, mister Pycrofts, on your visits to the offices,
<v Speaker 2>have you ever seen times of any other business.
<v Speaker 1>Being done there?
<v Speaker 2>That's another funny thing. Every time the place has been
<v Speaker 2>just the same, the waste paper about.
<v Speaker 4>It's still empty every time.
<v Speaker 2>It seems to me he only goes there to needs me.
<v Speaker 2>But mister Pycroft's pause of observation right to even greater levels.
<v Speaker 4>Let's hear again what.
<v Speaker 1>Else you noticed at your last interview.
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Well, when he added that bit about the
<v Speaker 2>music for you know, he kept laughing, and I couldn't
<v Speaker 2>help noticing that his second tooth on the left hand
<v Speaker 2>side was a gold one. Er I don't quite follow,
<v Speaker 2>but the point is, doctor watch when his brother, Arthur
<v Speaker 2>Pinner that comes to my room in London, I noticed
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same thing about him.
<v Speaker 3>Quite the straw.
<v Speaker 2>Still I don't quite see. Wait a moment, let this
<v Speaker 2>to Pycroft tell us what else he has this about
<v Speaker 2>the brother finish? Well, I told you what Arthur Pinner
<v Speaker 2>looked like, middle size macbeard, hook nose and so on. Well,
<v Speaker 2>apart from the beard.
<v Speaker 1>And made of the hair being a bit shorter, Harry.
<v Speaker 2>Pinner might have been his twinses, he is, Well, that's
<v Speaker 2>what I thought, But you see it was the tooth.
<v Speaker 1>Was there anything?
<v Speaker 2>So their voices, the fawners, I can remember Arthur Pinner's voice.
<v Speaker 2>They're almost exactly the thing for the voices.
<v Speaker 1>You'll remember again.
<v Speaker 2>Well, and mister Pyecroft, what was your concluse? Well, so,
<v Speaker 2>I know it may sound so, but I thought back
<v Speaker 2>in my hotel that night, these two brothers are one
<v Speaker 2>and the same man. See, yes, But why I puzzled
<v Speaker 2>out all the wires for myself so late that night?
<v Speaker 2>God once? And why should the man approach me in London,
<v Speaker 2>engage me in his firm, give me one hundred pounds
<v Speaker 2>of grunt, send me to Birmingham, and then dash up
<v Speaker 2>there himself, shave off his beard, cut his hair, and
<v Speaker 2>go through all this pantomime with lists and directors in
<v Speaker 2>empty offices. Indeed, Bitter rough me exactly, And that is
<v Speaker 2>why watch were all three sitting in this trade. The
<v Speaker 2>quich I observe is nearing the end of its journey,
<v Speaker 2>isn't it? If my watch is not beleading me, we
<v Speaker 2>shall be an ample time to conduct a joint interview
<v Speaker 2>for mister Harry Finner Or is it Arthur that said maccustody.
<v Speaker 2>That's the purpoge of one hundred and andy six b.
<v Speaker 2>I'll impressed it well, I make it only one minute
<v Speaker 2>to seven, so I suggest be go straight up. But homeow,
