00:09The End
00:47My dear Holmes, today I walked 14 miles across rough terrain
00:52and hardly a twinge from either my leg or my shoulder.
00:56The landscape is as handsome as it is reported.
01:00I still entertain the hope that I can prevail upon you to join me.
01:05I appreciate, of course, that the beauties of nature mean little to you,
01:09but I believe you would have found some of the guests at my hotel most intriguing.
01:17Moral splendour is on display in the person of the striking Major Schlesinger,
01:21a hero of the Boer War, sadly crippled in the defence of Ladysmith,
01:26now engaged in charitable work.
01:29His nurse is a Miss Calder, whose attentiveness suggests not only that she is his disciple,
01:35but also that tenderer feelings may be involved.
01:40Most fascinating of all, however, is an extraordinary woman,
01:44one who would stand out in any society.
01:48The Lady Frances Carfax.
01:51I suppose one would call her modern,
01:54except that she seems to come from an ancient line of English eccentrics.
01:59Yesterday, as if to confirm the general opinion of her oddity,
02:03she declared that she would sail herself to church across the lake.
02:08Good night.
02:21That's waiting.
02:45There was much speculation in the hotel carriage
02:48as we travelled towards the charming little lakeside chapel
02:52about whether Lady Frances would be as good as her word.
02:55But those of us foolish enough to doubt her
02:58were soon rebuked by the sight of the skiff moored in the shallows
03:01and by the stern gaze of its captain when she greeted us within.
03:12Surprisingly jolly sermon, Vicar.
03:14Not like a cat.
03:16She appears to care not a jot what her fellow guests make of her
03:20and seems quite insensible to the vivid impression she creates wherever she goes.
03:31We were all amused, certainly, at the sight of her trying to board the skiff.
03:36But since she had accomplished the outward journey with such skill,
03:39we had no reason to suppose that her return voyage
03:42would present her with any greater difficulty
03:45or that it would end in the way that it did.
04:14I had decided to walk back across the fells,
04:17so I was not amongst those who waited to cheer Lady Frances on her return.
04:20I arrived a little later,
04:22at exactly the moment when tragedy threatened to strike.
04:27Help!
04:31Help!
04:36Help!
04:38Help!
04:40Help!
04:40Help!
04:42Help!
04:43Help!
04:43Help!
04:45Help!
04:50Help!
05:00cheat!
05:00sated by great strength elsewhere.
05:04Unable to walk, Schlesinger was yet able to swim powerfully with his arms alone.
05:18Reinforcements arrived in due course from the hotel,
05:21and tragedy was happily averted.
05:24Now all parties are recovered,
05:26it is reported that the Lady Frances is resentful of her rescue,
05:31as if her suffragette principles had been somehow compromised.
05:36All agree at any rate that Major Schlesinger is the hero of the hour.
05:42Miss Calder's attentions are now translated into patent adoration.
05:47No doubt further praise will be in order
05:50when he lectures on his missionary activities at the hotel tomorrow.
05:55He is, by the way, the British representative of the Mission Church of Christ the Healer,
06:00whose theater of works is the High Andes of Peru.
06:13Good morning.
06:18Major Schlesinger is avoiding me.
06:21Poor man is embarrassed by his own heroism.
06:25Perhaps he now thinks I'm obliged to contribute to his work.
06:29Men have such extraordinary weaknesses.
06:33Don't you think?
06:35Oh, hi, yes, certainly.
06:37You do, of course, I agree.
06:40Would you care to take a turn by the lake?
06:43Doctor?
06:59Major Schlesinger works tirelessly for his church, does he not?
07:02Oh, I understand the need for funds is considerable.
07:08He's lecturing on his cause tomorrow here in the hotel, hoping to raise some money.
07:12He'll do well.
07:13The local matronate will happily part with half a guinea each for the company of such a man,
07:18albeit in public.
07:21Do I shock you?
07:23Not at all.
07:23I shock my brother.
07:26As the Earl of Rufton, I think he feels it is his duty to be shocked.
07:31Oh, it's very beautiful here, isn't it?
07:35I spent every summer of my childhood here by this lake.
07:41It's very beautiful.
07:43It is indeed.
07:47He's to visit me tomorrow.
07:49Who?
07:50My brother.
07:52That is duty too, of course.
07:57Damn you.
08:22Ah, Lady Frances.
08:26What a pleasant surprise.
08:28I must confess that her behavior continues to fascinate me.
08:34I grant that her reaction to this unknown horseman was extreme, but many of her reactions are.
08:41Had she known him, I wonder?
08:44What lies in her past to prompt this fear of him?
08:49In looking for an explanation, I am placing some hopes in the visit we expect this afternoon from her brother,
08:54the Earl of Rufton.
08:57By all accounts, his oddities are of an entirely different order from those of his sister.
09:02Where she flouts convention, he has raised the conventions of a former era to the status of a faith.
09:11As for myself, I notice an increasing indifference to the natural beauty which lies about me.
09:17My thoughts return constantly to the Lady Frances.
09:21There is something about her life which prompts my sympathy, some unhappiness I can sense, which I would dearly like
09:28to dispel.
09:30It is to be hoped that her spirits would be lifted by her brother's visit, but she remains subdued from
09:36yesterday's strange encounter.
09:41Who is he, Holmes?
09:43Why does he not wish to make himself known?
09:51Why indeed.
10:15Watson, you're a brick.
10:18I came here, Fanny, to see how you were, not to be lectured.
10:22It's not a lecturer, it's a request.
10:23Sounds like a lecture.
10:24It's quite simple.
10:25I need some money.
10:26Just like that?
10:28I suppose you've been overdoing it again, haven't you?
10:31I do not overdo it, John.
10:32If I have ever overspent the wretched allowance you give me, it's because someone has been in need.
10:37Oh, yes.
10:38Your famous heart of gold.
10:40Except that it's my money.
10:42And there isn't any.
10:43You know perfectly well there isn't.
10:45The hall's falling to bits.
10:47There's a family of owls in the east wing.
10:49And you think...
10:51What is it this time?
10:53Helping penniless poets in Islington?
10:56You only know how to be cruel, don't you?
10:59When have you ever cared for what I want?
11:01The last 15 years of my life have been wretched.
11:04And now at last I have the chance to make something of it.
11:08Doesn't that have any meaning for you?
11:19Good afternoon, please.
11:23The difference it makes is that I wouldn't be being told what to do.
11:26You know I'd loathe it.
11:28The trouble is you won't even take advice, will you?
11:30You've been offered everything.
11:31You've turned it all down.
11:32What have I been offered?
11:33Marriage.
11:34Good marriages.
11:37To be the unpaid slave of a titled yokel.
11:41Who hasn't even read a book.
11:43Who thinks bark is something terriers do.
11:45All right, all right.
11:47What have you got against me doing this?
11:49What?
11:51I want to get out of this miserable mess my life is in.
11:55To be my own woman for God's sake.
11:58To fulfill just a portion of my life.
12:02Why do you always hold me back?
12:08Think of it, John.
12:10Think of it.
12:11Just one payment.
12:13One.
12:14You could see the back of me forever.
12:16The Mule Express, as we have dubbed it,
12:20brings the mail once a month.
12:22Letters, of course,
12:23and food for the mind from the Library of Christ,
12:27and medicines for the well-being of my flock,
12:30whom you may see here posing outside the mission
12:35below a temporary belfry.
12:38When I show you the next picture
12:40of a leading member of my congregation,
12:43you will understand how the parable of the shepherd
12:46and the lost sheep
12:47has become transmuted in our teaching
12:49into that of the llama herd
12:51and the lost llama.
12:54And finally, our church.
12:58Humble as it is,
12:59rough and poor indeed,
13:01I'm proud to tell you that the word of God
13:04is preached as fervently within its walls
13:07and is as joyously received there
13:11as in any great cathedral here at home.
13:23Thank you, thank you.
13:25As inspiring as I predicted.
13:28I regret to say that the rigors of his itinerary
13:32press hard upon Major Schlesinger,
13:34who will shortly be departing for Whitehaven.
13:37We shall be taking up a collection
13:39on behalf of his estimable mission, of course.
13:43What do you mean?
13:44I mean that the remedy lies in your own hands.
13:47Oh.
13:48You know how.
13:49If you're really serious,
13:50you know what to do, damn it.
13:52I'm sick of you coming to me with these crackpot notions.
13:55You know my responsibilities.
13:57If you hadn't thrown away all your chances,
13:59you wouldn't be in this position now.
14:01Well, I've had enough.
14:04You know what you have to do.
14:06Grow up and do it.
14:07My last resort.
14:09My very last resort.
14:10How can you suggest it?
14:12Groom!
14:15Groom!
14:17Where the devil are you?
14:31That your name is lost.
14:34You need to maybe deliver you man.
14:51That your right boss right now was in the city.
14:58We pray for a prayer,
15:04in which room is mr. Schlesinger's meeting taking place I am afraid the
15:08meeting finished half an hour ago but mr. Schlesinger will have left for Whitehaven by now
15:13oh yes yes I've forgotten
15:21lady Frances
15:39excuse me you sir I've no doubt you will tell me my fears are unfounded Holmes but the repeated
15:50appearance of this man has cast a shadow over her life which tries she might she cannot lift
16:08evening paper mr. Holmes
16:37you
17:19mr. Watson as soon as the telegraph office is open to Dr. John Watson Lake Hotel Fellmere Cumberland
17:31but mr. Holmes I shall not be here mrs. Hudson I shall be on the 817 out of Euston
17:40Dr. Watson my cab awaits you downstairs read mr. Holmes read
17:51grave danger lady Frances stop never let from sight stop on my way Holmes how long has this been here
18:02I am
18:09are you
18:39How old are you?
18:43Disappeared, Watson.
18:49Disappeared.
18:50Did Lady Frances pay her bill?
18:52No, sir.
18:53Did she...
18:54Did she order any transport?
18:56No, sir.
18:58She took none of her luggage.
18:59We think not, sir.
19:03Where is Mr. Holmes?
19:08Nothing yet, Holmes.
19:13I'm beginning to fear the worst.
19:15I blame myself.
19:16I knew I should have pursued that fellow.
19:17It is a possibility.
19:20What is?
19:21Do you not see it?
19:22It is most conspicuous.
19:24What?
19:25The skiff, Watson, the sailing skiff.
19:28It's not here.
19:29Precisely.
19:30It is possible that there lies the Lady Frances Carfax's silent road to Aronside.
19:34It is the nearest railhead, as you know.
19:36You don't mean that this fellow abducted her by boat?
19:39Silk.
19:42Which is one of the three more likely possibilities.
19:46Best French single.
19:48Dove Grey.
19:50She had a grey silk shawl.
19:52Well, that will tell us nothing more.
19:53What are the three possibilities, Holmes?
19:55But what did she usually wear this short?
19:56Oh, her outside clothes.
19:57The three possibilities.
20:00She may have run away with that intended abductor.
20:02He may have abducted her by boat, as you suggest, or by some other means.
20:05She may, considering an emotional condition, have been deceived into going with him.
20:10I can hardly believe that.
20:10She was terrified of him.
20:12Believe me.
20:12I believe you.
20:15Yes.
20:17A stray chicken in the world of foxes.
20:21Once she's gobbled up, she's hardly missed.
20:24Come, Watson.
20:26Now, horses should be saddled by now.
20:28Horses?
20:28I have been somewhat extravagant in my choice of mounts.
20:31But delay must be dangerous in this matter.
20:33We should be at Rafton Hall at dusk.
20:45I don't see what possible interest it could have for you, sir.
20:49Considerable interest, I assure you.
20:50One of the most dangerous classes in the world is the drifting and friendless woman.
20:54With no one to protect and guide her.
20:57She's the inevitable inciter of crime in others.
21:01I treat the disappearance of your sister with utmost seriousness.
21:05Do you think I do not?
21:08I'm merely suggesting that it is frivolous to keep from me the substance of your quarrel.
21:13It was, after all, this quarrel which immediately preceded her disappearance.
21:19Might it have something to do with the drunken poet she once knew?
21:24What?
21:25I understand of my colleague that she may have seen him recently.
21:29Green.
21:32I thought I'd seen the last of him.
21:36I sent him packing 15 years ago.
21:40What is his connection with your sister?
21:42He used to court her.
21:44Great brute of a fellow.
21:45She wouldn't have anything to do with him.
21:48The Honorable Philip Green.
21:51Never was a title so abused.
21:54He went to the dogs completely.
21:55Drink.
21:57Gambling.
21:58Ended up destitute in Islington.
22:00Pretending to write poetry.
22:03Of course, Francis became interested in him as soon as he lost everything.
22:07How did you send him packing?
22:10He was a violent fellow.
22:12And he drank.
22:14I'd heard talk of prosecution.
22:16Debt.
22:17Assault.
22:18I gave him £100.
22:19And bought him a ticket to Australia.
22:23Show his face round here.
22:24I'll set the dogs on him.
22:25No.
22:27You're quarreled with your sister.
22:32Money.
22:34She wanted money.
22:36She has none of her own.
22:37I make her an allowance out of the estate.
22:40It's modest, but you've seen the place.
22:43She has no assets herself.
22:47Yes.
22:49She has.
22:52I told her if she wanted money, she could sell this.
22:56It's a priceless collection.
23:04That was designed for the French royal family by Fragonard.
23:08We acquired it all at the revolution.
23:10And now it's hers.
23:12What I have is owls.
23:15Owls in the east wing.
23:17Want to see the owls?
23:20Where does she keep them?
23:22Does she travel with them?
23:25No.
23:25Well, then where are they kept?
23:31My lord, your sister has vanished.
23:34How and why, we do not know.
23:37But I have reason to believe that she is in the gravest danger.
23:42For me to know the whereabouts of the jewellery,
23:44we might have some chance of saving her.
23:49The Oxford and Lombard Maritime Bank in Pall Mall.
23:58The Oxford and Lombard Bank opens its doors in 12 hours.
24:03The Oxford and Lombard Bank opens its doors in 12 hours.
24:29She may already have come and gone.
24:32The bank's been open for 20 minutes.
24:34On the heures.
25:00Well done,
25:03She have come and gone.
25:03At one biri...
25:03so I couldn't entertain myself.
25:03beggars us!
25:09I've been quite blind, Holmes.
25:12I had the evidence in the palm of my hand.
25:15If anything's happened...
25:15Calm yourself, my dear friend.
25:22Holmes, look.
25:28May I help you, sir?
25:31Yes, please. I wish to see the man.
25:33Sir Parler McNeil, it's a private matter concerning a family deposit for the bank.
25:37My colleague...
25:45What, sir?
25:46You, sir.
25:47Aye, sir?
25:48You, sir.
25:49What have you done with the Lady Frances Carfax?
25:52I insist upon an answer.
25:57Yes!
26:03Please!
26:04Please, it's still to my friend!
26:05Yeah, the steepest night of the Carl Iron Mail Express.
26:08No, Watson!
26:09Please!
26:10Please!
26:17Francis!
26:26Francis!
26:28Francis!
26:56I blame myself.
26:58No. You need not.
27:03Nevertheless, I do.
27:07We all bear equal blame.
27:09She has disappeared again, and that is that.
27:13It is pointless to dwell on it.
27:17Our task now is to find her.
27:20Mr. Green, let us go back to that moment by the lake yesterday morning.
27:26I was out riding in the dawn, and I saw the skiff sailing across the lake toward Aronside.
27:33And you realized that it was the Lady Frances?
27:36Yes.
27:37Was she alone?
27:38Yes.
27:40Please continue.
27:42I managed to board the same train.
27:45I begged her to speak to me.
27:48I told her how I'd traveled the world and had become a very rich man.
27:54I told her that I'd never stopped loving her, and that she could have whatever she wanted.
28:03I can see her now.
28:06She sat, saying nothing.
28:09Smiling like a sphinx.
28:14No, she said.
28:17She wanted to go her own way.
28:20When we got to London, I followed her as best I could, but she seemed determined to be rid of
28:27me.
28:29I lost her somewhere near Southwark Bridge.
28:32Southwark?
28:33Ah, that is most interesting.
28:36Why?
28:37I'm allowed to inform her that his usual haunts are west of Westminster.
28:42Whose haunts?
28:44How did you come to be at the bank?
28:46I reasoned that she would be needing money while she was in London, and I know the address of the
28:51family bank well enough.
28:53I had the wild idea of enlisting the manager's help.
29:00Do you know where she is, Mr. Holmes?
29:07No, I do not.
29:10Where do you think she is?
29:12I believe that to our efforts to save her, we have driven her into the hands of her worst enemy.
29:19But we saw her free!
29:21My dear Watson, a person may walk over the edge of a cliff because they've been invited to gaze at
29:25the moon.
29:27Her eyes may be open, but she is, I believe, at this moment, walking into mortal danger.
29:42Schlesinger.
29:44Mr. Schlesinger?
29:46This last week, I have sought to acquaint myself with the world of apostolic missions.
29:52I have also made a search of the records of Scotland Yard.
30:02Schlesinger is also known as the Reverend Joseph Covington.
30:06Amos Callow, the Dean of Massero, and Edmund, the Bishop of Lima.
30:14His real name, in fact, is Peters.
30:16He's a confidence trickster, known as Scotland Yard with the uninspired logic of that place as Holy Peters.
30:32Peter's speciality is the beguiling of single women with private means by playing on their religious and charitable feelings.
30:41Helen of Rosenblum had been engaged in charitable work for ten years when she met Schlesinger.
30:48He inspired her to devote her energies to a new mission in the Andes.
30:55Miss Rosenblum changed her will,
30:57said goodbye to her former life,
31:00and boarded the SS Almeria at Glasgow, bound for South America.
31:07She was lost overboard the first night at sea.
31:14The SS Almeria docked at Liverpool for the family to retrieve her effects.
31:21Schlesinger also had it embarked.
31:24He went aground to the Lake District,
31:26where he met his next intended victim,
31:30the Lady Frances Carpax.
31:54At last, gentlemen.
31:56At last.
32:00Where was it pawned?
32:03Riley's of Stockwell.
32:04It was, by my calculation, the 27th shop I tried.
32:08Riley has received two sentences, to my knowledge, for the receipt of stolen goods.
32:11He will cooperate with us.
32:12What does this mean?
32:15What does it mean?
32:16Please, Mr. Green, this is pointless. Don't torture yourself.
32:19You think the torture is self-induced?
32:22The thought of Francis in the hands of criminals?
32:26Such thoughts come unbidden, Mr. Holmes.
32:29They break through the strongest defenses the mind can raise against them.
32:32Calm yourself, Mr. Green.
32:35Calm yourself.
32:37If she's still innocent of the citizenship's true identity,
32:40she may well be safe at a time.
32:43And if not?
32:45Then it is clear that he cannot let her loose without his own destruction.
32:52Now we must continue to hope that she remains ignorant of who he is.
32:59Fifteen years.
33:03I knew I could never come back until I'd made something of myself.
33:08Perhaps it was foolish of me to think that she would look kindly on me after all these years,
33:12but I was ridiculously encouraged by the fact that she was not married.
33:19Now my stupidity has driven her into the arms of a murderer.
33:25What can I do?
33:29Is there nothing I can do?
33:33Just doesn't you know you're by sight?
33:35No.
33:37Ah, well then there is something that you can do.
33:40But it will demand great patience.
33:43I have waited for fifteen years, Mr. Holmes.
33:47Schlesinger's had a fair price for the jewelry and no questions asked.
33:50He will almost certainly return to Riley's shop.
33:53Rosenblum's a challenge of the will.
33:55Now give this note.
33:56Riley, he will let you wait at the shop.
33:59It may be a long wait, but you must possess your soul in patience.
34:03And above all, no violence.
34:07No violence.

35:16It's late.
35:17It should have been there before now.
35:20I dare say it took longer
35:21for being out of the ordinary.
35:24The address, dear, remind me.
35:29Yes, sir, can I help?
35:31Argyle Street.
35:32I'm looking for Argyle Street.
35:34There's a post office round the corner.
35:36Try there.
36:08There's a post office.
36:40Mr. Green, we can do nothing without a warrant.
36:43This is intolerable.
36:45Until we have some wretched signature on a piece of paper, we can do nothing.
36:49Meanwhile, these fiends can do with her what they will.
36:52Are you certain that you've told me every detail?
36:53Every detail, I promise.
36:56Then take this note to Scotland Yard.
36:58They will understand the urgency of it.
37:01And I'm to wait there for the warrant.
37:03You will not get it today.
37:06What?
37:07Some delay is inevitable.
37:09A magistrate must be found.
37:12The process of the law can be encouraged, but not goaded.
37:15Tomorrow may be too late, for God's sake.
37:19Mr. Green, everything that can be done will be done.
37:23Go!
37:27Tomorrow may indeed be too late.
37:29I'm well aware of it.
37:33Arm yourself, Watson.
37:36We are, as usual, the irregulars and must take our luck together, as we have occasionally done in the past.
37:488 o'clock tomorrow morning, Brixton Cemetery.
37:52Come on, come on!
38:17I fancy that you've been misdirected, sir.
38:20Possibly if you tried further down the street.
38:23That will do.
38:24We have no time to waste.
38:25You are Henry Peters, late Major Albert Schlesinger, veteran of the Boer War.
38:31Your further alias is I will not bore you by repeating.
38:35And what is your name?
38:37Sherlock Holmes.
38:38My friend and companion, I think you know.
38:41The house will shortly be under police observation, until a warrant is prepared, authorizing a search of the premises.
38:47Your name does not frighten me, Mr. Holmes.
38:49I have nothing to hide.
38:51What is your business?
38:52I'm looking for the Lady Frances Carfax.
38:55I'm delighted to hear it.
38:57If anyone can find her, I imagine you can.
39:00Perhaps you'd be so good as to tell me when you do.
39:03I have a note against her for nearly a hundred pounds.
39:06And nothing to show for it but a couple of trumpery pendants that the dealer would hardly look at.
39:11The woman's a leech.
39:12How dare you, sir?
39:15You imposed upon us as a man crippled in a military action.
39:18You are a fraud!
39:21Oh, it may not have been a military action to satisfy your standards of slaughter, doctor.
39:26But it was enough for me.
39:30I salute your powers of improvisation, sir.
39:34And your effrontery, but it will not do.
39:36Oh, I'm perfectly serious.
39:38You find her, and I'm your debtor.
39:41I need to go through this house until I do.
39:43You have a warrant?
39:45This will serve until a better one comes.
39:47Why, you're a common burglar.
39:48My friend is a dangerous ruffian.
39:50Together, we need to go through your house.
39:52I'm in no position to stop you.
39:55Search where you will.
39:56I have nothing to hide.
39:58Where is the coffin that you had brought into this house?
40:02That is none of your business.
40:04I repeat, where?
40:06Is it not enough that you force your way into my home?
40:10That you threaten me at gunpoint?
40:12Must you also now invade the peace of the dead?
40:16Where?
40:18I shall not tell you.
40:20Hold him here, Watson.
40:28I don't believe you'd use that on an unarmed man, doctor.
40:32And in my condition.
40:34I was a soldier in India, sir.
40:36I've shot nobler creatures than you.
40:38Lights!
40:39What's up?
40:40Lights!
40:45I thought it smelled formaldehyde in the stringent.
40:57Thank God.
41:00It's not her.
41:08Get them out!
41:10You have violated the peace of the dead.
41:12You will now leave.
41:15Who is she?
41:16Get them out!
41:17Her name is Rose Spender.
41:19Get them out!
41:20She is my wife's old nurse.
41:22She's been with the family for half a century.
41:25She died two days ago.
41:27We are to bury her tomorrow morning.
41:30Now, get out!
41:31Before I ask the police you have summoned to my home to come in and throw you out.
41:36Let's go.
42:08I've been considering the problem, Holmes.
42:13It does seem to me that they could not have murdered Lady Frances
42:18and thought to have disposed of her body in that coffin.
42:22But they would then be faced with burying the old lady.
42:31It may be that this burial has no connection
42:34with Lady Frances' disappearance after all.
42:36I mean, she was, as you know, the most unpredictable creature.
42:44It may be that she had second thoughts about Schlesinger.
42:47She may even have had some inkling of the kind of man we believe him to be
42:51and removed herself from the house.
42:53He was, after all, happy to let her search it.
43:00What do you think?
43:07What is your theory, then?
43:08I have none.
43:13There are insufficient facts to construct a theory.
43:47You think that's something you've overlooked?
43:49I don't know.
43:52In fact, it's a very clear Experience.
43:52You're drawing a掌, and you know the rhyme of absolute spice.
44:19I didn't know, and you know the platform always feels good.
44:26It's late.
44:29It should have been there before now.
44:32I dare say it took longer being out of the ordinary.
44:48What has happened to any brains that God has given me?
44:54Watson!
44:57Quick, man!
44:58It's life or death, a hundred charges on death and one on life!
45:10O God most mighty, O holy, O merciful Saviour,
45:15Thou most worthy judge eternal,
45:17Suffer us not at our last hour for any pains of death.
45:29And never continueth in one stay.
45:32In the midst of life we are in death,
45:35Of whom may we seek for succour,
45:37But of Thee, O Lord,
45:39For our sins are justly displeased.
45:42Yet, O Lord God, most holy,
45:49Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God,
45:52Of His great mercy,
45:53To take unto Himself the soul of our dear sister,
45:56Here departed,
45:57We therefore commit her body to the ground.
46:05Earth to earth,
46:08Ashes to ashes,
46:10Dust to dust,
46:12And sure and sure and sure and sure and know.
46:20What the devil do you mean by this sacrilege?
46:23Murder, sir!
46:26Murder is what I mean.
46:29Why such a deep coffin
46:30For such a small old lady?
46:32A sovereign to each of you.
46:34If you could lift the lid of that coffin in one minute!
46:49What, son?
47:00Stop, or I'll shoot!
47:02I'll shoot!
47:06What, son?
47:08Oh, my God!
47:09Oh!
47:39Oh!
47:42It's chlorophyll.
47:44She's known literally the terrors of the grave.
47:47God knows what this will have done to her.
47:58I failed.
48:12I have brought her back here to the country of her childhood,
48:16which is one of the most beautiful on this planet.
48:20There has been a great improvement as a result.
48:24A landscape so familiar and so intimate to her
48:28will prompt in time a full response, I feel sure,
48:32as will the company of friends and family
48:34who've all been most kind and dutiful.
48:39Her poor brother, the Earl, is beside himself
48:42with anger at the criminals
48:44and with mortification at his having quarrelled with Francis
48:48before all this happened.
48:52Finally,
48:53please accept the enclosed as a token of my gratitude
48:57for your saving of my dear Francis, Mr. Holmes.
49:02And I look forward to our entertainment of you and Dr. Watson
49:06in a happier future.
49:09I cannot accept it.
49:12I refuse to be rewarded for fostering a tragedy.
49:17I've never suffered such a complete eclipse of my faculties.
49:22Well, like any eclipse, Holmes, it's only temporary.
49:26There's every hope of a full recovery.
49:31I wonder...
49:39I wonder...
49:41I wonder...
49:48Francis?
49:49Francis?
49:49Francis?
50:02I wonder...
50:07I wonder...
50:09I wonder...
