From the 50 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:38.520 irregularity of handwriting, mister Langer, these slanting lines, and certain 51 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:41.319 other definite characteristics, I'd say that the writer of this 52 00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:46.120 letter is definitely unbalanced.

The solution is, of course obvious solution. 192 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.480 This murder you mean murder. There's been no murder, Watson. 193 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:43.639 There will remain homes with the cops that were staring 194 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.320 us in the face from inside, that were voting our statue. 195 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.159 If you will examine the corpse for a moment, my 196 00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.639 dear Watson, you'll notice that it exhibits no signs whatsoever.

There's no 283 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.759 way in the world by which I can prove it. 284 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.519 And what I fear is that, having begun with threatening 285 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.039 letters and graduated to stolen bodies, his mania may at 286 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.639 any time break out in an even more violent form. 287 00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:40.639 Oh, it's a home. 288 00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:44.919 You don't mean murder.

But 293 00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:59.919 I'll not disguise from you the fact that, although doctor Watson, 294 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.919 then I will take every precaution, you may still be 295 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.720 running a considerable personal risk. 296 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.559 Do it, e media, This is no concern of yours. 297 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.919 Think what the dear Vicar would say.

I'd hate to think that I'd 309 00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.000 put Miss Adderbury into jeopardy unnecessary. 310 00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.079 She looked to me the sort of female who could 311 00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:13.920 take care of herself if she were charged by a 312 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:14.599 mad elephant. 313 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.119 Nothing wrong with her courage, though there are not many 314 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:23.519 women who will.
