WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:04.559 Strange thing life a Watson, infinitely stranger than anything the 2 00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:05.879 mind of man could invent. 3 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.240 Yes, I know that's one of your pet theories, and 4 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.400 I dare you to put it to the test. Now, 5 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:12.359 I'll take to day's paper if you If you can 6 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:13.839 find anything bizarre in that. 7 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.120 I'll I'll buy you a new smoking jacket. 8 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.320 I don't want a new smoking jacket, Watson, but i'll 9 00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.760 take up your challenge. Choose any article, any paragraph at all, 10 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.719 on this page, and I'll guarantee to find something outlandish. 11 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:25.359 Very well. 12 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:30.679 Here take the very first heading, Husband's Cruelty to his wife. 13 00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.240 Now there's a half column of print about that, but 14 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.520 I know what it's about almost without reading it. 15 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.600 There's the other woman, the drink, the push, the blow. 16 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.560 No writer could invent anything more crude or commonplace. 17 00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.000 Your example, Watson, happens to be rather unfortunate. The husband 18 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.039 was a key tootler, there was no other woman, And 19 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.240 the cruelty complained of was that he had the habit 20 00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.840 of winding up every meal by taking out his false 21 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:56.320 teeth and hurling him at his wife, which all allows 22 00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:58.439 an action and illiterary man would hardly be able to 23 00:00:58.439 --> 00:00:59.119 make believable. 24 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:01.799 Well, sir, but that's just an exception. 25 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.920 Life is made up of exceptions. Watson. There's one now 26 00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:07.840 standing on the pavement on the opposite side of the street. 27 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.519 You mean that large, hebelike young woman with the enormous 28 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:14.519 bloor around her neck and the curling red feather in 29 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:14.840 the hat. 30 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:15.159 Yes. 31 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:20.000 Look how she oscillates backward and forward, and the way 32 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.760 she fidgets with her glove buttons. 33 00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.359 Oscillation on the pavement always means an a fair deccur. 34 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:26.959 She would like advice, but it's not sure that the 35 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.400 matter may not be too delicate for communications. 36 00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.200 She's decided to take the plunge as she comes across 37 00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:36.000 the road like a swimmer leaving the bank. I say, 38 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.040 perhaps she's been seriously wronged. 39 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:40.599 No, Watson, In that case, the woman no longer oscillates. 40 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.920 She pulls out the bell wire to the front door. 41 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.799 We heard that Watson decided to fluttery. The maiden is 42 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.560 not so much angry as perplexed and possibly grieved. 43 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.480 But here she comes, Come in, Come in. 44 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.840 I hope I'm not intruding. This is mister Sherlock Holmes. 45 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:00.760 They detected. 46 00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.599 Yes, won't you sit down? 47 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.920 This is my friend and colleague, doctor Watson, pleas to 48 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:07.439 meet you, lad, My. 49 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:08.039 Dear young lady. 50 00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.080 Don't you find that, with your short sighted a little 51 00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:11.360 trying to do so much typewriting? 52 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.719 Oh? I did it first, and that's a fact. But 53 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.520 if not, so, now I know where the letters are 54 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.919 without look. Oh, but how did you know someone's told 55 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:20.560 you about me? 56 00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:22.759 Oh, don't look so alarmed, my dear. That's just a 57 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.439 bit of a detection. Mister Holmes can tell things like 58 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.560 that by looking at you. It's his way of showing off. 59 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.680 Oh, I see that. It did take me aback your 60 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:32.879 knowing things like that. 61 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:34.840 It's my business to know things. 62 00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.319 I knew you used the typewriter from the appearance of 63 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.919 your fingertips and the double line pressed into the plush 64 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.879 above your wrists. Was equally obvious that you're near sighted 65 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.719 from the marks left on either side of the nose 66 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:45.759 by your pants knee. 67 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.479 So you see, my DearS, miss. 68 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.599 My name is Sutherland and Mary Sutherland. 69 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.120 So you see, my dear, Miss Sutherland, does nothing terrifying 70 00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.039 in my conclusions? 71 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.759 Well, no, not when you explain it like that. 72 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.360 And now perhaps you'll tell me why you came away 73 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:01.159 to consult me in such a hurry that you managed 74 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.840 to put on two odd shoes. 75 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:06.240 Why, bless my soul, so I did the right one's 76 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:07.240 my Sunday pair. 77 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.680 Yes, you must have been rather editated when you left home. 78 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.159 Yes, I did bang out of the house. And who 79 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.360 wouldn't It made me very angry to see the easy 80 00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.439 way mister Windybanks. Oh that my father took it all. 81 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.000 He wouldn't go to the police. He just sat there 82 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.400 and said there was no harm done and everything would 83 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.120 come right in the end. So finally I got mad 84 00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.520 and told father I was coming to you myself. 85 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.919 You say your father, but surely you mean your stepfather 86 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.039 since the name's not the same. 87 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.360 Yes, he's my stepfather. Mother makes me call him father, 88 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.199 though it sounds kind of funny him being only five 89 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.360 years and two months older than myself. 90 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.960 I see, how recently did your mother marry this mister Windybanks? 91 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.800 About two years ago? It was mister Holmes, and I'll 92 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.560 admit I wasn't very pleased, seeing as it was so 93 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.840 soon after father's death, and him a man nearly fifteen 94 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:54.080 years younger than herself. 95 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.199 You enough to start complications in any home at homes. 96 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.280 Quite that complete continue, miss Sonnoland.

Father was a 99 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.759 plumber in Tottenham Port Road, and he left a tidy 100 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.280 business behind him. After he went, mother carried it on. 101 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.319 Although I must say that William, that is mister Hardy, 102 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.839 father's foreman did most of the work, and a good 103 00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:17.920 thing he made of it too. 104 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.319 This mister Hardy, was he your father's age? 105 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.040 Oh no, sir, he was just two years older than me. 106 00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:26.639 In fact is we had a sort of an understanding 107 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.000 till this year mister Windibangs came along. 108 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:30.839 Oh, and he didn't approve it, mister Hardy. 109 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.399 Whit weren't that so much as that he didn't approve 110 00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.079 of the plumbing business, said it wasn't high class. But 111 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.759 mister Winderbags is a very superior gentleman hisself. Mister Holmes 112 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:44.240 travels in wines for west House and Marbank. But Clare's 113 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.639 importers in ten Church Street. Oh, a real tark years 114 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.360 I see, yes, sir. So after him and mother got married, 115 00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.000 he made us sell the business. 116 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.600 And how did you first meet this mister hausmer. 117 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.759 Angel, Well, mister Holmes, I met him at the gas 118 00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:05.639 fitter's ball. Oh, yes, sir, it was. The gas fitters 119 00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:07.959 used to send Father tickets while he was alive, and 120 00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.279 afterwards they kept on sending them to me and mother. 121 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.519 Mister Windybanks didn't wish us to go. He never did 122 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.480 wishes to go anywhere. If I so much as wanted 123 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.920 to go to a Sunday school Treaty would get quite 124 00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:19.519 mad about it. 125 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.240 Rather reasonable, Yes, sir well. 126 00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.439 It happened that the week of the ball he had 127 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.040 to go to France on business, so he wasn't there 128 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.800 to make a scene when Mother and me went. It 129 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.079 was a lovely ball, mister Holmes. I wouldn't have missed 130 00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:37.120 it for anything. It was there I met Tasma. He 131 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.360 was a lovely dancer. You should have seen him do 132 00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:41.199 the pulker. 133 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.199 Swept you quite off your feet out, no doubt, Yes. 134 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.759 Sir well. He called next day to see if Mother 135 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.600 and I got home safe the night before, and after 136 00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.439 that I went out once or twice for walks with him, 137 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.720 and things was going along as smooth as you could wish. 138 00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.560 And then Father came home and Tasma couldn't come to 139 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.000 the house anymore. No, no, sir, Father didn't like me 140 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:04.439 to have young men come to the house. Said it 141 00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.199 didn't look well for a young girl to. 142 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.199 Have followers rother tyrant Kane. 143 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.720 Oh, yes, sir, But pretty soon he had to go 144 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:12.839 off to France again for a couple of weeks. So 145 00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:14.959 I started walking out with Osma again. 146 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.439 And this Osma made no attempt to see you in 147 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.319 the meantime. 148 00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.160 No, sir, I wanted to, but mother said, you didn't 149 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:21.920 think it was safe. 150 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:22.639 Oh. 151 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.680 He wrote to me every day, Hasma did.

Then? 165 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.199 Oh he slept on the premises. 166 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.240 And you don't know his address, no, sir. 167 00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:56.920 Except that it was leaden Hall Street. 168 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:58.720 Where did you address your letters. 169 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.399 Leaden Hall Street Post Office?

That'll show you 175 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.120 how fond he was of me, mister Holmes. He was 176 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.079 always thinking of little things like that. 177 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.000 Yes, quite suggestive. 178 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.959 Can you remember any other little things about mister Hosma Angel, 179 00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:27.199 any little peculiarity. 180 00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.360 He was a very shy man, mister Holmes.

Come in, come in, ah, 382 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:30.240 mister Windybanks. This typewritten note was from you, on which 383 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:32.359 you set the time for this appointment at six o'clock. 384 00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.799 Yes, mister, I prefer I'm a trifle late. It's about 385 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:39.920 miss Sutherland's missing suitor. Quite so, this is troubled with, 386 00:17:39.960 --> 00:17:43.480 mister Holmes. But you know what young girls are. Besides, it's 387 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.359 a useless expense, because how in the name of this 388 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.079 and that can you expect to locate Hosma Rangel. 389 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.960 Pardon me if I disagree with you, mister Windybanks. But 390 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.599 I have every reason to believe that I have located 391 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:56.079 mister Hosmer Angel. 392 00:17:57.359 --> 00:17:59.839 Oh delighted, mister Holmes. 393 00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:02.839 Yes, I wonder if anyone's ever told you that a 394 00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.119 typewriter has really quite as much individuality as a man's handwriting. Oh, 395 00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:10.680 I don't say, hope, I most emphatically do. Every typewriter 396 00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:14.240 develops its own little idiosyncrasies. Now this note of yours, 397 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.119 mister Windybanks, you'll notice that all the ease are slightly slurred, 398 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.400 and there's a slight defect in the tail of the R. 399 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:24.519 Oh I never noticed a perform obviously. Now I have 400 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.599 here four letters which purport to come from the missing man. 401 00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:30.880
