Either eventuality 60 00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:46.199 indicates a person of means. 61 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.840 I swear I heard nothing except the first scrape against 62 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:49.199 the curb. 63 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:51.599 I must say, Homes, you have ears like a hawk, 64 00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.960 Your metaphors a trifle mixed Maria Watson, But I accept 65 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:55.520 your tribute. 66 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.960 Come in, mister Holmes, Mister Holmes, mister. 67 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.280 S naturally this is my friend and colleague, doctor Watson. 68 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:03.840 Or how do you do? 69 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.840 Thank Heavens you're at home.
