WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.840 --> 00:00:03.799 Now, doctor Watson, what about the singular deaths of Martin Reed. 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.240 Well, mister Bell, that adventure again. Late on a foggy 3 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.480 evening many many years ago, Sherlock Holmes and I've been 4 00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:13.839 to the Gallic Theater to see the revival of Martin 5 00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:16.839 Reeve's play, and I remember that we decided to walk 6 00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.039 home to Baker Street. As we approached the old familiar 7 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.079 dog to twenty one b our footsteps echoed holloway in 8 00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.480 the deserted street, and the chimes of a neighboring church 9 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.359 reminded us of the fact that it was midnight. 10 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.640 A delightful evening, Watson, I've got dinner, an excellent bottle 11 00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:40.079 of wine, and three hours of theatrical magic. Well, personally, 12 00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.320 I've found the play rather depressing. Its seam is a 13 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.679 morbid one, but the writing and construction of Flawless, Yes, 14 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.520 a magnificent play and well worth reviving. By the way, 15 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.640 I missed nineteen times this morning. And sunny Martin Reed 16 00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:55.399 he's dangerously ill. 17 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:57.280 Really, he must be quite an old. 18 00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:59.840 Man, eighty two to be precise, eighty years old. As 19 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.799 there a curious career, Watson. His greatest success was written 20 00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.519 when he was a young man. In the past fifty years, 21 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.879 he has never written anything to compare with tonight's play. 22 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.079 No, I don't think it, Holmes. 23 00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:16.200 Look up at our window, Hello, the gas is brightly lighted, 24 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:18.599 whereas Missus Hudson and Barribel turns it low and we're out. 25 00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:21.560 And look at the cigarette on the blind. There's a 26 00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:22.719 man pacing up and down. 27 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:25.920 The room midnight, homes. This looks ominous. Be careful now. 28 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:27.439 It may be some sort of trap. 29 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.000 I think not, Watson. If some desperado were lying in 30 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.879 wait for me, I doubt whether he'd be stupid enough 31 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:35.159 to turn up the guests to advertise his presence to say, 32 00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.760 and I wonder how he got in, presumably through the 33 00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.680 front door. Missus Hudson has instructions to let a client 34 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:43.799 wait in our rooms if his business seems urgent, Missus 35 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:48.239 Shuck Holmes, at your service, sir, I'm doctor Manners, Hardy Manners. 36 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.719 How do you do, doctor Maners. This is my colleague, 37 00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:54.079 doctor Watson. I must apologize for being here at such 38 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.280 an hour of night, mister Holmes, but my business is urgent. 39 00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:58.319 I'm sure it is. That I left Carlisle this morning 40 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:01.480 driving its some tentcrus station to hours ago. I came 41 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.959 directly here, persuaded your housekeeper to let me wait for you. 42 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.920 Then sit down, my dear doctor. Don't tell me what 43 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.120 urgent business has brought you to London there. Thank you well, 44 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.280 mister Holmes. I've been acting in the capacity of personal 45 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.479 physician for Martin Reeve, the playwright. 46 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.120 I didn't Reeve an Troudner coincidence. We've just returned from 47 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.360 seeing a revival of his play The Road Is Narrow. 48 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:23.840 We were talking about him as we walked home. 49 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.080 I understand the grand old man is dying. He is 50 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.840 not in good shape, mister Helmes. His heart's in very 51 00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:33.319 bad condition, or a cular fibrillation, doctor Watson. 52 00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.560 Then, at his age, I imagine you don't hold out 53 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:36.199 much hope. 54 00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:39.319 No, but I think with care, he might last a 55 00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.400 year or two. But the reason I've come to you, 56 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.479 mister Helmes, is that I'm convinced that although he's a 57 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.240 dying man, someone is trying to murder him. 58 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:51.599 To murder him. 59 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:53.879 Good Lord, what reason do you have for saying that, 60 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.240 doctor manas well, mister Holmes. I've been in almost daily 61 00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.560 attendance on mister Reeve. Last night, his coachman drove over 62 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.199 to get me, saying that his master had suffered another 63 00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:07.800 bad attack. When I got to the house, I found 64 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.919 that mister Reeve had received a severe shock. He was 65 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:14.240 in a state of almost complete hysterior, and he kept 66 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.080 insisting that he'd seen an apparition in his room a 67 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.000 few hours earlier. What kind of an apparition? A ghost 68 00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.639 from his past that he referred to it. I think 69 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.400 that someone arranged for that apparition, that they knew of 70 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.039 his heart condition and also knew that a sudden flight 71 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:34.120 could kill him. It's possible, Doctor Manners, and it would 72 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.080 be one of the least detectable methods of murder. 73 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.159 And who would want to kill a dying man. 74 00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.360 Who lives at the house with him? Doctor Manners, his 75 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.879 daughter Katherine, his brother Silas, who's had drunken good for nothing, 76 00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.520 and his secretary, a fellow by the name of Hugh Kingsley. 77 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.599 Do you know the condition of mister Reeves's will? 78 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.159 No, but I do know he had dictated a new 79 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:57.599 one a few days ago, a thank that might easily 80 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.919 have provoked the crisis a Doctor Manners, you will say 81 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.680 that mister Reeves spoke of seeing an apparition a ghost 82 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:07.199 from his past. Was he able to describe its appearance? Well, 83 00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:11.039 he was a little incoherent, but he kept babbling something 84 00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.919 about blonde hair and blue eyes and a young man 85 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.639 who'd come back from beyond the grave to haunt him. 86 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.160 Don't you think, to doctor Manners that these might simply 87 00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:22.000 be the loss of an old and aft man. 88 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.639 I didn't overlook that possibility, I assure you, doctor Watson, 89 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.240 even though mister Reeves's mental faculties are remarkably acute for 90 00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:32.240 his age. But last night, after I'd given him a sedative, 91 00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:37.480 I examined his room. I found these, mister Holmes. That's 92 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:38.600 when I decided to come to you. 93 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:40.920 Oh that's so lovable, hm. 94 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.920 They looked like a blonde hair. Yes they are, Doctor, 95 00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.279 I've found them on the bedclothes. And yet no one 96 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:55.079 in that house has blonde hair. Interesting, very interesting. The 97 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.759 hair is human, and yet the roots have minute particles 98 00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.480 of blue attached to them, obviously from a wig. Get 99 00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.120 out the timetable, Watson, will you. We're going to Carlisle 100 00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:08.360 on the earliest possible train. Though the grand old man 101 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.680 of the English theory is dying, we must do everything 102 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:12.480 in our power to see that his death is not 103 00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:13.480 an unnatural one. 104 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:28.519 Mister Holmes, Doctor Watson. I'm Hugh Kingslake, mister Reeve's secretary. 105 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:32.079 How do you do The accommodations at the hotel are satisfactory? 106 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:36.560 I trust gentlemen entirely. Thank you. Frankly, I'm most relieved 107 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.360 that you're here. Mister Reeve received a severe shock the 108 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:40.319 night before last. 109 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.560 I quite agree with doctor Manas that someone deliberately induced 110 00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.000 that shock, knowing the serious condition of mister Reeve's heart. 111 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.079 Have you any idea who that someone might be. Well, 112 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:49.560 it's a. 113 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.360 Little difficult for me to talk mister Holmes. After all, 114 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.240 I'm only an employee. 115 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:57.759 Here, but I can't help him. Oh oh, good morning, 116 00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:58.360 mister Reeves. 117 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.839 These men, this is mister Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson 118 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:03.959 and mister Silas Reeve. 119 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:04.879 How do you do? Mere? 120 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:05.000 You? 121 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.079 And what may I ask, is the professional meddler Serlock 122 00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:10.720 Holmes doing in my brother's house. I'm here at the 123 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:13.800 request of doctor Maners. Manners has no right to bring 124 00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.480 your hair, Sir, A lot of rubbish. All this talk 125 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:21.720 about apparitions nonsense. Martin's in his second childhood. He's become 126 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.040 a gibbering old fool. Personally, I wish he'd die and 127 00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:27.279 have done it well upon my soul. I never mind 128 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.120 your soul, my good doctor, Why don't you mind your 129 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.639 own business and get out of the house. We don't 130 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.800 want detectives here, Mister Reeve, I've traveled some two hundred 131 00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:39.240 miles to see your brother, and I have no intention 132 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.319 of leaving this house without talking to him and talk 133 00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.519 and the devil with him. And if my dear distinguished 134 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.519 brother tells you that I've been sponging on him for years, 135 00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:53.800 it's perfectly true. Uncle ha ha, And the beautiful Catherine 136 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.639 to try and persuade her dunken old uncle to return 137 00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:58.519 to his room. 138 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:01.480 No, unc silas I came to get mister Holmes and 139 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:02.160 doctor Watson. 140 00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:04.279 Doctor man has said that Daddy can sue him. 141 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.000 Now, shall I take them up, Miss Reeve? 142 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.720 No, mister Kingslake, I will and don't be deceived by 143 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.959 the mister Kingslake and the missus Reeves.

There's been a 165 00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.679 lot of nonsense printed about my impending this. 166 00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:39.960 Anyone would think a great man is dying. The author 167 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.559 of the road is narrow is a great man, mister Reeve, 168 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:45.200 He was a great man. 169 00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.000 Mister Holmes, What do you mean to the author of 170 00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:52.159 that pray died forty five years ago? 171 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:56.320 What and yet his ghost appeared in this room two 172 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:59.799 nights ago, mister reed Are you saying that you didn't 173 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:00.639 the road is. 174 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.120 Narrow, Yes, my boy, I am.

Now there's among my death bed. 177 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.120 I'd like to clear my conscience. 178 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.279 Then who did write the place up? A young friend 179 00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.720 of mine the name of Colin McGrath. 180 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:19.840 I started liking. 181 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:21.039 There's a lawyer's. 182 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.799 Clerk in Kissick, a few miles from here. Colin lived 183 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.200 in the same religion, but became great friends. One day 184 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:32.600 he gave me the manuscript of his play to look at. 185 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.639 And now you realized it was the work of a genius. 186 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:42.279 Suddenly he died. No one knew about the manuscript. 187 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.039 You claimed your THERMSA. 188 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.000 Yes to my eternal shame. I did. 189 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:54.480 Now I want to make amends, mister Holmes. I want 190 00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.120 you to find out if any years of Colin McGrath 191 00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.360 still survive, as they do. 192 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:04.759 I have given him half of my estate. Hm, mister Reeve, 193 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.720 does anyone else know of this fraud? 194 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:14.240 He knowing that I hadn't longish world. I confided the 195 00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.320 secret to three members of my household. 196 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.799 And you are convinced that the apparition you saw the 197 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.279 other night was that of the dead Colin McGrath. 198 00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:28.600 Yeah, there was no mistaking the blue eye, long golden hair. 199 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:33.720 It was Culin hour is ghosts come to hunt you 200 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:34.639 on my death bed. 201 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.840 There's decision on your part to leave half of your 202 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.799 estate to any heirs of the man you wronged. Was 203 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.200 that decision made before you had this strange visitation the 204 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.360 other night? Yes, yes it was. 205 00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:50.399 Did you mention it to any member of your family? 206 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.679 He did say something to doctor Manage, and I didn't 207 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.679 mention Colin mcgrass name. 208 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:01.759 It's obvious that some one wished to frighten you, knew 209 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.159 your secret and disguise himself to resemble Colin McGrath. 210 00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.799 It was Colin. 211 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:14.240 Never forget the blue eyes who was standing over there, 212 00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:21.399 and they choose to George. He looked at me, so. 213 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:23.960 Approach. 214 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:32.720 Sure is asleep, yes, Watson, And while he lies there, 215 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:35.519 some member of this household continues to prompt his death. 216 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:38.440 We must works, what are we going to do? Split forces? 217 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:40.320 I shall remain here for a while and see what 218 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.399 may be found out. I'll meet you at the hotel 219 00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:43.320 later and we'll compare notes. 220 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:43.879 What try I do. 221 00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:47.000 Go to the village of Kewick. Colin McGrath lived and 222 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:49.840 died there. See what you can find out about it, Watson. 223 00:11:59.360 --> 00:11:59.879 At cost. 224 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.240 I remember Colin McGrath, well, I should. 225 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:05.440 Very grateful for any information about him, Madam. As postmistress, 226 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.360 I imagine that very little village gossip has escaped you. 227 00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.120 Of course it hasn't. 228 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.000 I remember the McGrath boy, Well, he was no good, 229 00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.919 didn't He married poor or missus Norfik's granddaughter, Susan, and 230 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:19.960 then go and dessert her, just to kill himself. 231 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.679 And the poor girl was going to have a baby. 232 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:24.200 No good honor. 233 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:25.879 That's what young McGrath was. 234 00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.480 And you can tell him, I said, so, if you 235 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.320 ever reached the place I'm sure he went. 236 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.080 To, they had a child who said? 237 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:33.080 What happened to it? 238 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:33.480 Madam? 239 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.519 How should I know? 240 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.960 I'm only the postmistress. You'd better go and see the vicar. 241 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:50.879 Young man. It's a tragic story you've told me, doctor Watson. 242 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.679 You remember Colin mcgrath'sa oh very well. 243 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.440 And I always suspected something akin to genius in the 244 00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.799 boy that he burned with two harms and gem like 245 00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:06.120 a flame. As Walter Peter has said, he burned himself out, 246 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.840 destroyed his life, and poor Susan now trips with it. 247 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.960 She died of a broken heart less than a year 248 00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.879 after his death, and their child there was no money, 249 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.000 no one to look after the boy. He was sent 250 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:21.600 to an orphanage in Liverpool. 251 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.879 And that child, if he's still alive, stands to inherit 252 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.679 half of Martin Ree's fortune if only we can find him. 253 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.480 It's good to be back here to tell Holmes, I've 254 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:40.639 had an exhausting day. 255 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.440 I trust you had better luck than I did. What 256 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:44.279 did you find out. 257 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:46.799 If Colin McGrath had a child, that his wife died 258 00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:49.080 shortly after the child's birth, and that the boy was 259 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:50.600 sent to an orphanage in Liverpool? 260 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.679 In Liverpool, go on, what's well the bigger game? 261 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:58.360 In this photograph, missus mcgoth it was was taken on 262 00:13:58.440 --> 00:13:59.600 their wedding there let me see it. 263 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:04.240 But this is amazing, Watson. One of our problems is solved, and. 264 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:05.080 Most of us say her. 265 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.679 Let me explain it to you. After you left, I 266 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.240 had quite a long talk with the Secretary Hugh Kingslake. 267 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.600 It transpired that he knew nothing of his parents. It 268 00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.720 had been raised in an orphanage. And the only mimental 269 00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:17.879 he has as a picture of his mother, a picture 270 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.000 that he carries in his watch. 271 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.039 And that picture is a duplicate of this one, Great 272 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.080 Scott and the color of calling himself Hugh kings Eke 273 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:24.559 is really the Colin McGrath. 274 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:28.919 There precisely a fantastic situation. Indeed, come on, old chap 275 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.759 gra your hat and coat. We must drive over to 276 00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:32.799 mister Reeves and break the good news that the missing 277 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:34.399 air is a member of his own household. 278 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.720 We are still no nearer finding out who's been trying 279 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:37.960 to frighten old mister Reeves. 280 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:42.600 Surely that's obvious. Now, Watson, come in, doctor Manos, what's wrong? 281 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:45.679 Please please come at once, both of you. It's mister 282 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:49.039 Reeve's hart. Yes, doctor Watson, this evening he had another 283 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.240 visits from that apparition. I'm only afraid this time the 284 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:55.399 devilish plan may work and that Martin Reeve won't live 285 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.000 through the night. 286 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.159 In a moment we'll find out what Sherlolcolm says is obvious. 287 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.039 But first, more and more men today are beginning to 288 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.879 realize they should take better care of the hair they've got. 289 00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:17.519 And when you buy a hair tonic, why not get 290 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.080 your money's word. Why not enjoy the extra advantages of 291 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.840 Kreml hair Tinny Crammel contains a special combination of hair 292 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:27.559 grooming ingredients which is found in no other hair tony. 293 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.960 This highly specialized hair tonic keeps dry, stubborn hair neatly 294 00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:35.080 in place all day long and always gives it such 295 00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.200 a natural, well groomed appearance, never sticky or greasy. But men, 296 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:43.320 Cramwell does lots more than keep hair looking handsome. A 297 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:47.200 quick massage with Cremol stimulates circulation right in the surface 298 00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:51.320 of the scalp, leaving your scalp feeling so alive, so invigorated. 299 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:55.120 At the same time, Crammell removes loose dandre. It's excellent 300 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.879 to lubricate a dry scalp. And if your hair is 301 00:15:57.960 --> 00:15:59.960 so dry that it breaks and falls when you comb 302 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.080 remember Cremwell actually helps condition the hair in that it 303 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:07.840 makes it feel softer, more pliable. So men, just as 304 00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.200 soon as possible, buy a bottle of Kremmel at any 305 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.720 drug confert let Kremill always keep your scalp, feeling clean 306 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:17.639 and refreshed, your hair always looking at very best k 307 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:26.480 r e m L KREML hair turning well, Doctor Watson, 308 00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.720 this story certainly has me on the edge of my chair. 309 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:29.600 What happened next? 310 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.120 You drove over to mister Reeves's house. I suppose, yes, 311 00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:32.919 well we did. 312 00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:35.840 And as we went rattling down the country lanes, the 313 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.720 flickering oil lamps on doctor Manow's carriage lighting. 314 00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:41.480 A shadowy pop. I find it almost impossible to. 315 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.840 Get a word out of shock. 316 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:43.080 Home. 317 00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:46.120 Home. 318 00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:48.279 Sometimes you're the most entertating man on earth. 319 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:50.960 And watch prompt stamped little tirade Watson. 320 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:51.399 I'm dove your mouse. 321 00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.159 As we left our hotel, purposeless conversation is a waste 322 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.360 of time, not much further as at doctor Mana's Nervester 323 00:16:57.440 --> 00:16:58.559 Holmes and any there. 324 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.840 I don't consider conversation. This is when it clarifies the problem. Home. 325 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.799 You said it was obvious who had been frightening mister Reeve. 326 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.279 I suppose I'm stupid, but I find it far from 327 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.519 love you, and yet. 328 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:10.839 The facts are clearly in front of your eyes. I 329 00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.160 that's it, Watson. Think about iyo. 330 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.079 Some blue eyes of the supposed ghost Sir, But the 331 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:19.039 Reeves family have all got brown eyes. 332 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:23.400 The parently to Mark's family characteristic quite Watson. That fact 333 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.000 should lead you to the obvious conclusion. 334 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.799 Oh, you're all talking riddle of home. 335 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.799 With the rule, and Hugh Kingslake is standing at the 336 00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.680 front door. How is he? Mister Kingslake better than the 337 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.319 home seems to have rallied a bit. I'm glad you're 338 00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:35.640 all here. 339 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:37.680 I'll drive my carriage round to the tables. 340 00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:46.200 You're back in a moment, Come in, gentlemen. With mister 341 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:46.920 Reeves so ill. 342 00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.319 It may seem a little inappropriate to announce my news, 343 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.880 but Catherine consented to marry me tonight when engaged. 344 00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:54.599 Oh really, my congratulations. 345 00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:59.440 Yes, indeed she's a charming girl. Oh, Catherine, Darling, I've 346 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.039 told the man news. It might seem a terrible time 347 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:05.440 to announce that, mister Holmes, with poor daddy lying so 348 00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:09.640 ill upstairs, it's quite understandable, Miss Reeve. And before we 349 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:11.839 go up and see your father, I'd like you both 350 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.559 to know that we have something in the nature of 351 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:17.119 a wedding present for you. A wedding present. Yes, you're 352 00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:20.079 both familiar with the story of Colin McGrath. Understand you 353 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:22.200 mean that he was the true author of the Road 354 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.599 is narrow. Oh, yes, mister Holmes. Daddy told us all 355 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:24.880 about it. 356 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:26.920 And you also know that mister Reeve is planning to 357 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.400 leave half his estate to the heir of mister McGrath. 358 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:34.480 I knew that, Doctor Watson, in my capacity as Secretary, 359 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:36.599 I had occasion to draw up the rough draft of. 360 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.319 The new will a few days ago. And then I 361 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.079 am sure, mister Kingslake, that you will be very interested 362 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:43.319 to know that today doctor Watson, and I discovered that 363 00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:46.400 you are the son of Colin McGrath, that I am 364 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:50.559 h is the heir. But that doesn't seem possible. The 365 00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.279 fact has proven beyond a doubt, Miss Reeve. 366 00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:55.640 Then then if mister Reeve makes the new will, I 367 00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.119 stand to winheaded half the fot. 368 00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.680 Yes, my boy, you do. That's what mister Holmes meant 369 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:01.319 for you talking about wedding present. 370 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.359 That's Uncle Silas he's upstairs with Dad. What's wrong, mister 371 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:06.039 even Para. 372 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.240 I knocked over a lamp in Martin's room, but Daddy's 373 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:11.599 up there rooms a plain.
