The sheer speed 6 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.960 of my friend Sharlock Holmes never ceased to amaze me. 7 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.960 My name is Watts, doctor Watson, and I was privileged 8 00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:52.119 to share the adventures of Sharlock Homes.

If I may consultant for a moment. 11 00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.879 I am into the city room two to one, be 12 00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.799 latest speak to a dun day to find a le 13 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.519 of Holmes in deep conversation with an elderly man, a 14 00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.640 sort of hilary put down to the grounds and the 15 00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.519 average column day British place. 16 00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:24.799 The peace compos indectable, nothing remarkable about him, sat an 17 00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:29.400 expression of extreme fagrant and discontent upon his features. 18 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.959 And head, the grazing red hair. 19 00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:39.799 Oh my dear one, let me introduce you to mister J. S. Wilson. 20 00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:43.799 I'll do that. This is doctor Buston. He'd been my 21 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.599 pastor and helped her in many successful cases, and I've 22 00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.120 heard that he'll be at the admirashuse in your festivals. 23 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.159 Oh well, how do you do? Doctor? And my friend 24 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.719 Batson shares my love of all that it's bizarre outside 25 00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.280 the conventions and hand drum routine of everyday life. Where's 26 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:03.439 his relish for it by the enthusiasm with which he chronicles, 27 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.400 And if you'll excuse my sayings, there embellishes. 28 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.319 So many of my little adventures. 29 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.360 Your cases are the greatest interest in me, ah, but 30 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.560 none more interesting than mine, or what you will remember. 31 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.240 That's in my remarking the other day that for strange 32 00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.159 effects and extraordinary combinations we mustard to life itself, which 33 00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.439 is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination. 34 00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.400 That's the proposition that I took the liberty of doubting 35 00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.360 you did. But you must come round to my view 36 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.560 and under less or I shall keep piling fat run 37 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.479 fat on you until you admit I'm right now. Mister 38 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.479 James Wilson, here has a narrative which promises to be 39 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.840 one of the most singular listen too for some time. 40 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.039 It is indeed a single. Therefore, my friend doctor Watson 41 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.960 has here it for himself. You will better webs. Doctor 42 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.360 Watson had better read this here newspaper of British moda O. 43 00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:54.199 Thank you. 44 00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:02.479 Were through the Red Hided League. 45 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.319 On account of the bequest of the league Isakah Hopkins 46 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:11.319 of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, USA. There is now another vacancy in 47 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.240 tackling a member of the League to several four pounds 48 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:20.120 a week for purely nominal services. Red Headed League carry on. 49 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.719 All red headed men above the age of twenty one 50 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:29.439 years are eligible. Giant person on Monday eleven o'clock to 51 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:33.479 Duncan Ross of the offices of the League, seven Pops Court, 52 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:37.319 Fleet Street. 53 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:40.919 It is a little after beaten Flack, isn't it. You've noticed, 54 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:44.680 of course, that the newspaper is two month ago. Oh yes, now, 55 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.240 mister worth Weller was, as I told mister Holmes, by 56 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:52.039 the small pombroker's business at Saxe Coburg Square near the city. 57 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.199 It just gives me a living. I can only afford 58 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.639 an assistant because he's willing to take half whites to 59 00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.840 learn the business. Well, what is the name of this 60 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.840 black enveloped Vincent's spawling? Who mind you? I couldn't wash 61 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.199 A smarter man comes of a good family. He can 62 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.560 get twice what I'm able to give him propos of 63 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.919 my good ideas into his head. I didn't know that 64 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.199 your assistant is not as remarkable as your advert. Oh 65 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:18.959 he has his faults. There never was such a fellow 66 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.800 for photography snapping away with a camera and then diving 67 00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:25.560 down into the cellar to develop his pictures or that 68 00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.639 is his main fault. But on the old he's a 69 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:33.720 good worker. Well, one morning, just eight weeks ago, spailed. 70 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.920 Him come into the office and showed. 71 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.399 Me that advertisement that you've just read down. I wish, 72 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.920 mister Wilson, why that vacancy is worth a little potroom? 73 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.360 This is incredible spoiling. I've never come across such an 74 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.639 advertisement as this in all my life. What you mean, 75 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.680 you've never heard of the red Headed League as to worth? No? Never, 76 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:01.720 Well you see this American and KaiA Hopkins as a millionaire, 77 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:04.399 always getting ribbed when he was a lad for his 78 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:07.000 red hair. So he had a sort of sympathy for 79 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.040 red headed men all his life. And when he died 80 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.720 his fortune went into the hands of trustees with instructions 81 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.399 to use it getting easy jobs to red haired men. 82 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:17.800 It's astonishing. 83 00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.439 What's even better. Old Hopkins was born in London, so 84 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.800 the office confined to londoners. Well, but there must be 85 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.680 thousands of red headed men who would have dried thousands 86 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.879 with red hair, sir, But scarcely one in a hundred 87 00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:35.199 with hair to match old Azekiah Hopkins own. How did 88 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:36.279 I hear it described? 89 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:36.519 Now? 90 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:43.279 Not light red, not dark, a sort of real bright 91 00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:44.319 blazing bed. 92 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:46.120 Yeah? 93 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.199 What is you your hair, sir? If your partner limited, 94 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.439 I should have guessed it was just the kind they're 95 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:59.839 looking for? Really? Whoa? I don't know them? Of course 96 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.879 four pounds a week scarcely be worth it a gentleman, Mike, 97 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:07.800 you bother him? Oh well, it all sounds well interesting. 98 00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.639 They are an unusual experience, you might say, now learning 99 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.160 my hair would change over at night. But things are 100 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.360 a little slightlier just now, you know, spawling. I think 101 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.839 I must step al under boat scot Now, yes, sir, 102 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.160 and you can put up the shutters and come along 103 00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:29.199 with me. I experienced that pinas. 104 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.199 Entertaining under to us. 105 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.560 Did you waver hear anything to compare with it? Misholmes, Well, gentlemen, 106 00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.000 I never hope to see such a sight as there again, 107 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.480 fate stren itself with choked from both southeast and west. 108 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:43.920 Every man Jack with a shade already in his air, 109 00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:47.319 advent into the city of Arts and a mursion coat's 110 00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:51.920 court like a costa's orangs bellock. I shouldn't have believed there, 111 00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:56.279 for so many nail country, straw colored lemon orange brick, 112 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.240 Irish said, But as Spawning had said, my own the 113 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.800 mid flame colored temple scarcely to be found if with 114 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.800 him or not given up in de spair. But he pushed, 115 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.560 and he pulled, and he budded until he got me 116 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.360 through the crowd and right up to the steps which 117 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.560 led to the doorway. And I said, what heaven when 118 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.519 you got there? Eventually found myself in a large office 119 00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:19.879 with no furniture save for a couple of wooden chairs 120 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.079 and a deal table. What was the man behind the 121 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.480 table but an even bedder than mine? He said a 122 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.519 few words to each candidators he'd come up, but one 123 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:34.680 glance of there had seemed sufficient to disqualify them. Concrete nay, 124 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:39.439 namely after a hole. His fir called that their rede 125 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.639 being better up there.

That is 147 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.200 the Nishimi service recruit for me on a pool brook. 148 00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.639 You see, so most of my own business she's done. 149 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.000 To believe me, I can manage the shop while you're 150 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.600 away in this room as splendid as you know. The 151 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.799 pay is four pounds a week and the duties are 152 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.399 purely nominal, purely no. What does that mean? Well, you 153 00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.960 have to remain in this office, or at least in 154 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.559 the building, throughout the whole four out every day. If 155 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.639 you leave, you'll forfeit your position for aport, I shouldn't 156 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.360 think of doing No excuse will avail sickness, business nor 157 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:35.960 anything else. 158 00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:37.080 Here. 159 00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.360 You must stay and work to copy out the insight 160 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.799 the Pedia Britannica.

Then goodbye, mister Javis Wilson. 163 00:09:55.399 --> 00:10:00.279 And let me congratulate you once more on the importance. 164 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:12.240 I wish you have been you can imagine, mister Holmes. 165 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:14.799 But by the time I'd reached home, I was persuading 166 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.440 myself the whole thing must be some great hopes or fraud. 167 00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:22.039 They seemed altogether past belief that anyone could make such 168 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:22.600 a will. 169 00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.480 Ll pay some month so much for doing anything so simple. 170 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.759 Yet you did not abandon the event, or nearly, but 171 00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.360 Vincent's spawning did what he could have persuade me, and 172 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.120 the next morning I set out for Pop's court with 173 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.679 a penny bottle of ink, a quill pen, and seven 174 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.559 sheets of horsecap paper. To my surprise, and day night 175 00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.360 the first volume was set out ready for me, and 176 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:44.759 mister Duncan Ross was there to see me get fairly 177 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:47.080 to work. He started me off on the letter A, 178 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:49.720 and then he left me that he dropped in from 179 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.519 time to time to see the lawn was right with 180 00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:56.000 me and they say you. At two o'clock he bagged 181 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.519 me good day and complimented me on the amount I'd written, 182 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.600 and then he knocked me off his more after me, 183 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.519 and this procedure continued for some time. Day after Danish times. 184 00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.879 Did you get paid? Oh yes, On Saturday, mister Loss 185 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.200 come in and plump down four golden sovereigns for my 186 00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.159 week's work.

They put in the advertisement Duncan Ross 374 00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:42.400 says potentporary office John Clay, he has been since Spaulding 375 00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:43.559 incites the man to. 376 00:23:43.559 --> 00:23:47.279 Apply to the job, and together they managed to secure 377 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.440 his absence. 378 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.680 Every morning in the week. I see, But how could 379 00:23:52.759 --> 00:23:56.960 you guess what the motive was? Well, Wilson's business was 380 00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.200 a small one and there was nothing in his house 381 00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.160 which could account for such elaborate preparation. I thought of 382 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.480 the assistance from this for photography and his trick of 383 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:10.039 vanishing into the cellar. Ah. Then I made inquiries as 384 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:13.799 to this mysterious assistant and found, as I suspected that 385 00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.319 I had to deal with one of the coolest andness 386 00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:21.359 daring criminals in London. He was doing something in the cellar, 387 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:24.759 something which took many hours a day for weeks on end. 388 00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.720 What could it be? I could think of? Nothing? Said 389 00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:31.119 that he was running a tunnel to some other building. 390 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:36.640 Now I see when you beat the pavement with your stick, 391 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:40.400 you were testing for a hollow sound. To be more precise, 392 00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:43.200 I was despertating whether the seller stretched out in front 393 00:24:43.240 --> 00:24:46.599 of Wilson's house or behind. It was not in front. 394 00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:50.680 Then knocked at Wilson's door, as I had helped. His 395 00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:53.960 assistant answered it. I hardly looked at his face. You 396 00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:56.480 wanted to see his knees. You said, you must have 397 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:02.279 noticed yourself how Warren wrinkled and stained his trousers were Yes, yes, 398 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:02.759 yes I did. 399 00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:05.720 They spoke of those hours of borrowing. 400 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:09.680 The only remaining point was what was he borthering for 401 00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:16.400
