Obviously, revolver 193 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:18.960 shots attract little attention. 194 00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:21.720 This my son, mon dieu, you mean that violence in 195 00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:23.679 sudden death are so common that they do not attract 196 00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.679 even the passing indice. 197 00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:28.639 No, we are, even the British are not as pragmatic 198 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:28.919 as that. 199 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.080 Then what is the answer to those shots? 200 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.440 Some member of this household is addicted to pistol practice. 201 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.399 The fact that a shooting target is nailed to the 202 00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.080 back of that fence over there would further support the theory. 203 00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.759 That's rather ominous in my opinion. 204 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.000 Well, give me out the front door. Let's keep our 205 00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:46.000 wits about us anyway. 206 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.320 Are you carrying it at wolver?

I imagine you know why I inserted that advertisement. 263 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:19.799 Well, I had the impression that you were under some 264 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.320 form of restraint, that you were in need of a 265 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:23.120 rescue party. 266 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.080 As it were, rubbish. 267 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:27.080 My advertisement was a piece of subtle bait. The only 268 00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.840 person that could decipher the message would obviously be someone 269 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:31.799 who knew the Baconian cipher. 270 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:33.480 For the logical deduction, mister full Time. 271 00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:36.120 You see, I'm convinced that any sensible man should be 272 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:38.799 that the so called Shakespearean plays were written by Sir 273 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.360 Francis Bacon. I see, but I felt that he needed 274 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.159 a clever man to prove the fact. I'm sure that 275 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.440 anyone who was able to decipher my message was the 276 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.799 man I needed. And what did you take, mister Holmes 277 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.440 to do the job. 278 00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:50.840 I'm a rich man. Name your fee? 279 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:53.360 Do you mean to say that you inveigled mister Holmes 280 00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:56.080 down here just to do some research on the origin 281 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:57.279 of Shakespeare's work? 282 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:00.480 You needn't have so, shocked, docter, But my uncle is 283 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:01.759 offered to pay him a handsome thing. 284 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:02.919 Well, what your name is? 285 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:03.679 Host? 286 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:07.120 An interesting subject for research? I can see that ignotious 287 00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.600 Donnelly and others have proved almost beyond doubt that William 288 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:11.799 Shakespeare of Strata and Aven did not write the place. 289 00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:15.679 But I greatly doubt that Lord Bacon did. I made 290 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:18.639 devote my leisure in later years to some investigation on 291 00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:20.960 the subject. But in the meanwildness, girl, and I'm afraid 292 00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:23.200 I'm much too busy to want to take such an assignment. 293 00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.399 Please it up, show the gentlemen out Dory Wight. 294 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.080 Too bad you had this long drive down here for nothing. 295 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:35.919 General I quite agree. 296 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.840 On It would seem to me that your uncle has 297 00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.679 a distinct talent for political joking, mademoiselle. 298 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:44.279 Uncle uncle never made a joke in his life. 299 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.159 Mister Holmes, now that you're here, perhaps you like to 300 00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:49.879 indulge a little shooting match. 301 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.600 Thank you, Miss Faversham.

Good evening to you. 303 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:56.360 Goodbye, gentlemen. 304 00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:04.080 By Bohm's old follow your you're losing your touch.

There isn't one, 312 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:23.039 because there's in no danger. 313 00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.120 He's in desperate danger. I'm only afraid I may be 314 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:26.960 too late to say it. 315 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:28.480 What we have just spoken to the men? 316 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:31.480 Oh no, did neither of you notice the traces of 317 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.559 fresh alone on the boots of that supposedly paralyzed man.
