WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:04.040 My story, the Adventure of the Empty House. 2 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.400 Well, here we are as usual and doctor Watson's hospital 3 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:11.400 study already and waiting for a weekly treat. 4 00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.119 What's it to be tonight, Doctor Watson? Tonight? I think 5 00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:16.640 I'll tell you how Homes made an unexpected and I 6 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:20.920 may say the medic return after many years absence. And 7 00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:23.760 I've always said it's a good thing to absent yourself 8 00:00:23.839 --> 00:00:26.839 from time to time, makes people appreciate you when you 9 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.679 come back. That's what Holmes said the time he was 10 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.119 missing for three years. Three years, that's a pretty long 11 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.799 lapse of time. Yes, it was rather everyone thought he 12 00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.000 was dead. What horrible time that was. I couldn't bear 13 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:44.600 to live in our own lodgings in Baker Street, associations 14 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.560 and everything. That's funny, how sentimentally all are underneath. I've 15 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.759 taken him back forth is in a more fashionable part 16 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.560 of down and reassumed my medical practice. Because after Holmes 17 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.960 had succeeded in driving Professor Moriarty out of England, we 18 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.560 all believed Homes had sacrificed his life to rid society 19 00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.480 of that evil spirit. That sounds terrifically exciting. 20 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:07.640 Doctor Water tell us how Holmes managed to put a 21 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:08.599 finished morialty. 22 00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.840 What cannot Professor Murray off? And before I've told you 23 00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.480 the rest of our adventures with him, I should say 24 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.319 not never catch me throwing away good material. Let's get 25 00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.079 down to cases fair enough, very well. It was in 26 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.239 the spring of the year eighteen ninety four when all 27 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.120 of London, the fashionable world in particular, was dismayed by 28 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.599 the death under most unusual circumstances, the Honorable Ronald Adair, 29 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.799 that lack of The young gentleman was the second son 30 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.040 of the Earl of Maynooth. He lived together with his mother, 31 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.239 the Countess of Maynooth, and his sister Hilda, at four 32 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:47.280 twenty seven Park Lane. The youth moved in the best society, 33 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:51.680 but was very fond of cards, played continually ah piling 34 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:53.719 up gambling that she couldn't pay well. As a matter 35 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.439 of fact, it came out in evidence that he had 36 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:58.200 actually run as much as four hundred and twenty pounds 37 00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.200 in one sitting at his club the week previous from 38 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.439 Godwin Miller and Lord Balmorrel. I believe it was his 39 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.840 partner was a certain Colonel Morad but then he must 40 00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.439 have been well. I head of the game look right. 41 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.840 And yet it was to this easy going, likable, I 42 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.080 might even say lucky, young aristocrat, that death came in 43 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.159 a most strange and unexpected form. On the night of 44 00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.560 the March the thirtieth, the return from this club shortly 45 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.000 after ten, his mother and sister having gone to the opera, 46 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.039 The butler Peter swore that he heard him enter the 47 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:32.120 front room on the second floor, literally used as his 48 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.360 sitting room. The night being chilly, he had did a fire, 49 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.240 and as it showed a tendency to smoke, one of 50 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.960 the front windows had been opened about four inches. Nothing 51 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.680 further us had from this sitting room until eleven thirty, 52 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.400 the hour of the return of Lady Maynooth and her daughter. 53 00:02:48.199 --> 00:03:27.159 Peter's testified that her ladyship seemed rather agitated. 54 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.680 Vicious Hilda, I den care, I'm chilled to the bone, 55 00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:13.400 and time. 56 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.960 My oh, Peter's will you help me with my carriage boots? 57 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.360 You returned so early. I trusted the opera was not 58 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.240 a disappointment. 59 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:24.719 No, Indeed, Peter's wish heaven me. Namma can never bear 60 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.159 to stay for the death scenes at the end, so depressing. 61 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.080 I always think, Wanama, I've always thought calm and was 62 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.280 terribly gay just because he knife said her last scene 63 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:34.879 does know, I know, but. 64 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.680 So primitive, so brutal. And that bit in the gypsy camp. 65 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.759 Where Calmon keeps turning up the ace of. 66 00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:45.840 Spades, the card of death, I well, I had the 67 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.960 queerest foreboding during that scene, as though Ronnie needed me. 68 00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.280 Oh dear, I do wish you wouldn't play with so often. 69 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.000 It's good for him. A boy his age should have 70 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.800 other interests. I wish I could get that Ace of 71 00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.960 Spades out of my mind. 72 00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.080 I can't help feeling it means something. 73 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.759 Oh nonsense, mamma, you've just giving yourself another case of 74 00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.319 the piget.

Make sure he isn't sitting in a 86 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:32.480 draft Kilda. 87 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.319 Really, I declare, I don't know what children are coming 88 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.800 to nowadays, no respect for their parents. 89 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.120 Good night, and you're not to sit up in all 90 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:40.800 ours mine? 91 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.279 No, Mama, really, I don't know how young girls nowadays 92 00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.439 expect to keep their looks if they never go to bed. 93 00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:49.879 Oh, dear that. 94 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:59.439 Wind, it's so eerie, Ronnie, Ronny, dear it's mother. 95 00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:02.160 Why it's locked? 96 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:09.680 The door's locked, Ronnie?

Never mind, mother, 112 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:08.040 it's rolly. 113 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:08.879 We have to worry about. 114 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:16.079 Maybe it's not too late. Oh Ronnie, Oh his head? 115 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:17.480 How horrible? 116 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.199 Shot with a soft bullet? Did it not look miss? 117 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.920 It's not nice, Ronnie Darling. Why did you do it? 118 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.680 He didn't, miss, but Peters, he must have. 119 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:30.439 The door was locked on the inside. It's not suicide, 120 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.000 Miss Hilda, it's murder. 121 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.160 Mister Ronnick couldn't have done it. 122 00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:50.160 There's no weapon anywhere in the room. 123 00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:51.480 But look here, doctor Watson. 124 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:53.720 Ronald Adare was in the second story sitting room with 125 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.480 the door locked on the inside. 126 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.240 Exactly, mister Hallis. Furthermore, he was in the room alone, yes, 127 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.439 but if someone else shot him, how is that possible? 128 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.399 That's what puzzled the authorities. No one could have climbed 129 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.279 up to the open window without leaving traces of some sort. 130 00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:13.079 The outside wall was perfectly smooth, no ivy, no water paths. Furthermore, 131 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:14.920 there was a drop of over twenty feet from the 132 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:15.959 window to the ground. 133 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.839 Well, then the murderer couldn't have been in the room 134 00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:19.720 with younger there. He must have shot at him from 135 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:20.040 the streak. 136 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.560 The law nem that the window was open only four 137 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.759 inches and the glass was not shattered. That would be 138 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.639 a pretty remarkable shut down. Furthermore, Park Lane is not 139 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.680 an unfrequented thoroughfare, and there is a cab stand within 140 00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.720 fifty yards of the house, and yet no one heard 141 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:39.000 a shot. Nicetycle problem exactly. Scott and Yard was at 142 00:07:39.000 --> 00:07:42.519 its wits end. Our old friend inspected a straw, even 143 00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.240 when Sir follows to consult me in the matter, knowing 144 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:48.600 how familiar I was with Holme's method of deduction, and 145 00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:50.480 so I promised to have a look at the facade 146 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.079 of Lady Maylwood's house in Park Lane to see if 147 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:57.439 anything suggested itself to me. And did it now, mister, 148 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.720 it's you're anticipating again, all right. Well so it was 149 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.639 but around six o'clock that evening I found myself at 150 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.319 the Oxford Street end of Park Lane. The heterogeneous connection 151 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.879 of loafers on the pavement, all standing up at the 152 00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.079 particular window directed me to the house I had come 153 00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:36.200 to see it. Well, good evening, Constable, good Dr Watson, Sir, 154 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.320 I've told you i'd be dropping around. We'll look at 155 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.240 single crime.

He ain't been 160 00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:53.639 out of doors for much the speed. 161 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:58.799 Dusty does in the bibli file to watch the book. 162 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.360 Lever noticed the titles of the volumes under his arm 163 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.799 and say, let's have a look in tree worship, same 164 00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.679 language of the druids life in early crete evidence that 165 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:14.440 collects obscure volumes, either as a trade or a hobby, 166 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:16.639 will and they would have noticed. 167 00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:19.639 I'll added to you, doctor Watson, you're almost as good 168 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.039 with your deductions as mister Sherlock Holmes himself. 169 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:31.799 Elementary, My dear constable elementary a bad cough luncondition.
