We sped towards Edinburgh 32 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:08.120 in the Flying Scotch. 33 00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:10.719 What's that you and Sherlock Horn's up there? Doctor? It 34 00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:13.079 started off as a holiday business battle. 35 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.640 My old friends of Water Dunbar asked Homes and me 36 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:18.920 to spend a few days with him at Dunbar Castle, 37 00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:24.560 about twenty miles outside Edinburgh. After we left King's Cross Station, Holmes, 38 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.519 his sharp, eager face framed in his dear'stocking cap, dipped 39 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.120 into the bundle of fresh papers and she bought with him. 40 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.359 We left Bedford far behind us before he thrashed the 41 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.760 last one of them under the seat, leaned across and 42 00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.120 offered me his cigar. 43 00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:46.599 Careless Garb's no go hullo. 44 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.159 I'll stick to the pipe. Flying Scotsman's living up to 45 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.239 its name, and they're going splendidly.

The 50 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.200 calculation is a simple one. What's my death alone. We 51 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.200 have several hours ahead of us. Now, tell me more 52 00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:08.960 about Walter Dunbar. I have a feeling that he's in 53 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:11.560 some kind of trouble if you haven't wanted to talk 54 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.000 about him. 55 00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.240 It's not executive trouble homes. But there's a strange problem 56 00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.560 that confronts the Dunbar the problem that will be settled 57 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.120 at midnight tomorrow night. 58 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.159 A few years even he is exactly. 59 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.000 But to really appreciate the story, I have to begin 60 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.919 by telling you the death of old Sir Thomas Dunbar, 61 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.919 the father of the present. He was severely wounded in Waterloo, 62 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:34.840 though he managed to last that long enough to get 63 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.360 back to Dunbar Castle. The story goes that as he 64 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.120 lay there on his death said, he told his wife 65 00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:42.080 of his plans. 66 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:51.439 Yeah, didn't agree of last touched the baronetcy home from Waterloo. 67 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:58.599 But if I wound as well, I'm not afraid to die. 68 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.759 How that?
