00:08The End
00:38THE END
01:08And this is where the prince is stable
01:12Sir Robert
01:14Sorry to disturb you
01:15This is Joe Barnes
01:18He'll be a Josiah's boy
01:20I know who he is, Mason
01:21What's he doing here?
01:22He's keen to race horses
01:25Can ride, Sir Robert
01:26He'd like to be a jockey
01:28Would you?
01:30More than anything in the world
01:31Well, that's good
01:32Very good
01:34But what has it got to do with me?
01:36I thought I could work for you
01:38I have all the jockeys I need
01:42Please give me a chance, sir
01:44I'll muck out the stables
01:46Clean the yard
01:48Anything you want
01:49I'll think about it
01:51Thank you, Sir Robert
01:53Sir, let me out
01:54You'd better come quick
01:56Why?
01:57There's trouble, sir
02:03I told you
02:05Lady Beatrice is unwell
02:07And does not wish to be disturbed
02:08I think she'll make an exception
02:10In my case
02:11I'm sorry, Sir
02:14I have strict instructions
02:17Are you going to let me speak to Lady Beatrice?
02:20Or will I have to use force?
02:25Your answer to me first, Brewer
02:28This gentleman is most insistent upon speaking to her ladyship, sir
02:37I warned you never to come here
02:39Our business can be discussed at your office, not here
02:42I've tried to settle this matter on many occasions
02:44As you well know, Sir Robert
02:46You've got a nerve coming here
02:48After Newmarket
02:49I'm leaving nothing to chance this time
02:53Perhaps Lady Beatrice will be more prepared to listen to reason
02:56Your grievance is with me, Brewer
02:58And with no one else
02:59It would certainly be of concern to Lady Beatrice
03:05Robert
03:06What are these people?
03:08What do they want?
03:10I'll tell you what I want, Lady Beatrice
03:12Get him out of here
03:13I want what's rightfully mine
03:15Get out
03:16Go
03:18While you can still walk
03:21I'll be back, Lady Beatrice
03:23Good day to you
03:35I'm sorry you've been upset, my dear
03:37What did he mean, Robert?
03:39What's rightfully his?
03:41Nothing for you to worry about
03:43But I do worry, Robert
03:46I know you too well
04:00He won't bother us again
04:14What should we do if he does come back, Sir?
04:17But if he does come back
04:19I'll deal with him myself
04:22Anyway, Grandpa
04:46I'll deal with him myself
04:46Oh, oh, oh, oh.
04:49Oh, oh, oh.
04:51Oh, oh, oh.
04:51Oh, oh, oh.
04:52Oh, oh, oh.
04:53Oh, oh, oh.
04:57Oh, oh, oh.
05:01Oh, oh, oh.
05:02Oh, oh, oh.
05:02Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:04Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:05Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:25Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:35Oh, oh, oh.
06:00Oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:06Oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:32Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:58Oh, oh, oh, oh.
07:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
07:04oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
07:04oh.
07:07My eggs were hard-boiled.
07:10There's a Mr. Mason to see you, sir.
07:12Thank you, Mrs. Hudson. Show him in.
07:14Sir?
07:21You got my note, Mr. Holmes.
07:23Yes. But it explained nothing.
07:27It was too delicate a thing for me to put the details on paper.
07:31It's too complicated.
07:33You may rely on the discretion of my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson.
07:36Please sit down.
07:47Mr. Holmes.
07:49I think Sir Robert Norberton has gone mad.
07:52Oh, please. This is Baker Street, not Harley Street.
07:55Why do you say so?
07:57I believe Shoscombe Prince and the Champion Stakes have turned his brain.
08:03Shoscombe Prince.
08:07Watson, you're invaluable. A horse.
08:10The finest in England, sir.
08:12The truth is Sir Robert has got to win this race.
08:16He's up to his neck and it's his last chance.
08:19He's wagered everything he could raise or borrow on the horse
08:22and he's holding off his creditors till after the big race.
08:26Oh, if the Prince fails him, he's done for.
08:29And you're assuming there's a connection between Sir Robert's debts
08:32and the disappearance of Samuel Brewer?
08:35He's Sir Robert's principal creditor.
08:38And I don't mind admitting there's no love lost between them.
08:41Well, after what happened in Newmarket, I'm not surprised.
08:46Well, that was just the start.
08:48Brewer showed his face at the hall last week
08:50and Sir Robert flew at him like a man possessed.
08:53Said he'd deal with him if he ever showed his face there again.
08:56Well, presumably he's not returned.
08:58I don't know, sir.
09:00Not for sure.
09:02I see.
09:03In the event of financial catastrophe,
09:07would Sir Robert have any claim on his sister's estate?
09:10None at all, as far as I know.
09:12She only has a life interest
09:14and it reverts to her husband's brother after her death.
09:18In the meantime, her ladyship draws the rents every year.
09:22And her brother spends them?
09:24That's about the size of it.
09:26He must lead her a most uneasy life.
09:29Well, maybe so.
09:30But they've always been the best of friends.
09:33They have the same tastes.
09:34She loves the horses as much as he does.
09:39Or at least she did.
09:45Every day at about twelve,
09:47she'd ride down to the stables to see them.
09:49And above all, she loved the prince.
09:57Good morning, Beatrice.
10:02I can't wait to see their faces when this delightful creature is first past the pose.
10:07What say you, Mason?
10:08The others won't stand a chance, sir.
10:10A three-length win, wouldn't you say?
10:12Three and a half, at least.
10:15Just beware of raising your hopes too high, Robert.
10:19You're not the only one who'd like to see his horse win the champion stakes.
10:23I'm the only one with a horse like Shoscombe Prince.
10:27Why, he's on such good form you could ride him to victory yourself, my dear.
10:30I think not, Robert.
10:33Our riding days are over.
10:51You should be resting, my dear.
10:55No, I'm fine, Robert. Really, I'm fine.
10:57You know what the doctor said?
10:59Fuss even more than he does.
11:05Jasper, good dog.
11:09And how's Carrie today?
11:14Very well, thank you, Sir Robert.
11:23But for the past week, her ladyship has driven past the stables,
11:27with never so much as a good morning.
11:30Do you think there's been some sort of quarrel?
11:33And a bitter, savage, spiteful quarrel at that.
11:37No, he never goes near her.
11:39She hardly leaves her room, except to take her daily drive.
11:44And I assume that you have witnessed such a disagreement?
11:47No, not exactly.
11:50But why else would he give away her pet spaniel, Mr. Holmes?
11:54She loved that dog as if it were her child.
11:58Can you think of any reason why Sir Robert would wish to upset his sister in this fashion?
12:05Not at all.
12:07It's a cruel way to treat a woman with a weak heart.
12:10It's damn rotten.
12:13I must say, he does not appear to be committing any crime that I recognise.
12:21So why did Sir Robert leave the house at the dead of night?
12:24And who was the man he met?
12:27Gone.
12:30Well, it was Stephens, the butler, who saw him leave, and he told me about it.
12:35So the next night, we followed him.
12:59It was not because you were in this world.
13:02I don't feel that I would be dead.
13:05I have my witness beside the ship.
13:06Not my sister.
13:08Yes.
13:12So who was it?
13:15Samuel Brewer?
13:17It was too dark to see his face.
13:21When did Sir Robert give away his sister's dog?
13:23A week ago today.
13:26Jasper was howling like a banshee at the millhouse.
13:29But that was no good reason for the master to do what he did.
13:43Sir Robert, I wandered off this estate.
13:48I don't care what you do with it, just as long as I never have to see it again.
13:54Yes, sir.
13:57I gave the dog to Sandy Bain with the prince's jockey.
14:01Right then, Jasper.
14:03Let's you and I go for a drink, eh?
14:06Come on.
14:08Next morning, he took her to Josiah Barnes, the landlord of the green dragon in Crandall.
14:14Does Lady Beatrice have a companion?
14:16Her maid, Mr. Holmes.
14:18Just the one?
14:19Carrie Evans.
14:20She's been with her this five years.
14:23Isn't it how devoted?
14:25She's devoted enough, but I won't say to whom.
14:29Uh-huh.
14:31I can't tell tales out of school.
14:35Sir Robert is something of a lady's man, eh?
14:38Do you not think the quarrel between brother and sister may lie there?
14:42That scandal has been pretty clear for a long time.
14:45But Lady Beatrice may not have seen it before.
14:47Let us suppose that she has suddenly found it out.
14:50But she wants to be rid of the hated maid.
14:53He will not permit it.
14:54She refuses to speak to him.
14:56And Sir Robert, in his anger, gives away her dog.
15:00There's more to it than that, Mr. Holmes.
15:03Mr. Mason, you have the advantage of us.
15:10Perhaps there is something that you have not told us.
15:18There's a central heating furnace in the cellar.
15:33It's been off for some time, but Sir Robert complained of cold and had it on again.
15:40Harvey runs it. He's one of my lads.
15:45He didn't like the look of it, Mr. Holmes.
15:50And he brought it to me last night.
15:53How often does Harvey attend the furnace?
15:56He makes it up every evening and then he leaves it.
15:59So anyone could visit it during the night?
16:02I suppose so.
16:04But the lad has the key to the outer door.
16:06I see.
16:08What is the name of that tavern you spoke of?
16:12Green Dragon.
16:13Is there any good fishing in that part of Berkshire?
16:17There's trout in the mill stream and pike in the lake.
16:21That's good enough. What do you make of it, Watson?
16:23It's the upper condyle of a femur.
16:37Human.
16:38Without a doubt.
16:47I...
16:48It's a bluff, Sir.
16:51Anyone could have sent it.
16:53Could be a tug.
16:54I don't care who it is.
16:57I need to know if there's any truth in what he's written.
17:01Carrie will be in charge of the house when I'm away.
17:06Carrie, sir?
17:07Your concern must be for the Prince's training.
17:11Nothing is more important than that.
17:1553.
17:1754.
17:1955.
17:22Yes, ma'am.
17:22Thank you, Stephens.
17:24Please take the tray now.
17:2956.
17:36I leave at dawn.
18:00I leave at dawn.
18:01I leave at dawn.
18:01I leave at dawn.
18:05I leave at dawn.
18:06I leave at dawn.
18:07I leave at dawn.
18:07I leave at dawn.
18:17Let's go.
18:51Two rooms, is it then, sir?
18:52Two glasses of your best ale.
18:54Right, sir.
19:02Good day, gentlemen.
19:04Hello, old fellow.
19:06Oh, ladies, I'm so sorry.
19:07I just used to think that.
19:11That's quite a bite to the air, isn't it?
19:13Well, you'd much rather be free, wouldn't you?
19:16I've got this spell.
19:18Langlois!
19:19Is it really necessary to keep this dog tied up like this?
19:23If I didn't, sir, he'd be off back to the hall in a jiffy.
19:25You see, sir, Jasper's a Trostcombe spaniel.
19:28Oh, I should have known.
19:29You see, I'm quite a dog enthusiast myself.
19:31Yes, sir.
19:33Oi!
19:34Be careful with that luggage or I'll skin you alive.
19:40Don't you mind him, sirs.
19:42He takes after his mother.
19:48Out for a bit of fishing, eh?
19:50We thought we might try and land a pike or two at the hall lake.
19:53And you might find yourselves in the lake before you were through.
19:59Why's that?
20:01Sir Robert's terrible jealous of anyone who might be spying on his stables.
20:04Well, we're not touts.
20:06He's the sort that strikes first and speaks afterwards.
20:14I think we should take a little walk before I...
20:17Oh, that's a splendid idea.
20:21You think we can take the dog with us, landlord?
20:25By all means, Edmund.
20:26But mind what I said about Sir Robert.
20:34It's this way, Watson.
20:57What about Sir Robert?
20:58By my estimate, it should be one of those may be York by now.
21:02How do you know that?
21:03That is where my telegram has sent in.
21:04Holmes, what have you been up to?
21:07Of course, Palmer's the favourite.
21:09It's stabled somewhere near York.
21:11I merely advise you that the horse has shown much improvement in the last few days.
21:14He won't be pleased when he finds he's been doomed.
21:16I'm surely furious.
21:20Jasper!
21:22Jasper!
21:23Come on, boy, hello.
21:25Why are you?
21:26Hey, hello.
21:28Jasper, here.
21:36Do I know you?
21:37No, but evidently Jasper knows you.
21:40You must be Sandy Bay.
21:43Yes, sir.
21:44It was you that brought Jasper to the tavern last week.
21:47That's right.
21:49You're fond of animals.
21:50But they're all God's creatures, sir.
21:52I won't see no harm.
21:53Come to them?
21:54Mr. Mason seemed to think that Jasper had a lucky escape.
21:58He must have had a reason for behaving like he did.
22:00I'm sure Sir Robert had the best of motives.
22:03No, I'm talking about Jasper.
22:05He was always such a quiet dog.
22:08Something must have happened to him.
22:10With the mill house?
22:11No, sir.
22:12With the cellars?
22:13No, sir.
22:14At the old church.
22:16It was the same morning I brought him to the Green Dragon.
22:21It's an all-ruined chapel.
22:23And under it there's a crypt which has a bad name among us.
22:31Jasper!
22:34Not that way!
22:35Jasper!
22:37Jasper, come back!
22:45Jasper, come back!
22:48Jasper!
23:15I'm not playing games now.
23:19I'm not playing games now.
23:37Jasper, come back!
23:42Jasper!
23:43Jasper!
23:44Jasper!
23:45Jasper!
23:46Jasper!
23:47I'm still here!
23:49Ha, ha, ha, ha.
24:19How far are we away from the hall?
24:22About a quarter of a mile, sir.
24:25I am correct in thinking that Lady Beatrice takes a drive about midday.
24:29Yes, sir.
24:30Thank you. We've got a moment to lose. Come, Jasper. Come, Watson.
24:34Come, my good-bye.
24:49Let's go.
25:19Stop the carriage, Watson. Stop the carriage.
25:27Excuse me.
25:33The direction to the green wagon tower.
25:42Drive on! Drive on!
25:46Steve! Stay there!
25:49Stay there!
26:06Well, there's nothing we can do until Lady Beatrice takes a drive again tomorrow.
26:11You still haven't explained why I risked my life this afternoon.
26:14It's just a theory.
26:15You must be very disappointed. I was almost killed instead.
26:18On the contrary. I think my little experiment was quite successful.
26:21I failed to see how.
26:22The dog, Watson.
26:25The dog.
26:27The dog.
26:51The dog has gone too far this time and is guilty of murder.
26:54What the boy...
26:56What the boy found is all that remains of the unfortunate money left.
27:00Oh, no, Lord. Thank you. I'm famished.
27:05The dog has gone too far this time.
27:06It's been ruined, Mr. Holmes.
27:09Oh, that's all right.
27:09It's been the best I've seen in a long time.
27:15These are deep waters, Watson.
27:19Deep and rather dirty.
27:25I would like to borrow the key to the cellar.
27:28For what purpose, Mr. Holmes?
27:29To get inside.
27:32Where is Sir Robert?
27:33Sir Robert left for York.
27:36Early yesterday morning.
27:37He isn't expected back to some time tonight.
27:40I'm sure you ran the house myself,
27:42but Master left Carrie in charge
27:45and she won't let anyone pass the door.
27:47You left a maid in charge of the house?
27:49I told you things were bad between Master and her ladyship.
27:54Whereabouts is Lady Beatrice's room?
27:56It's on the ground floor, Mr. Holmes,
27:58on account of her ladyship's heart.
28:00Precisely on the ground floor where?
28:02Second room in the corridor beside the cellar passageway.
28:07Has there been any change in the running of the house
28:08since we spoke at Berger Street?
28:11None that I can think of.
28:13Apart from the fact that I had to dismiss Harvey,
28:15one of my stable lads.
28:16Wasn't he the one that found the bone in the furnace?
28:19That's right.
28:20What was the reason for his dismissal?
28:22Well, he'd stolen some money from some of the other staff.
28:26I see.
28:27Ah, here's the prince himself, Mr. Holmes.
28:36Every inch a champion, would you say?
28:38Yes, he's a very fine creature,
28:40but you're the expert, Watson.
28:42Well, hardly an expert, Holmes.
28:44I am aware of the prince's burst of speed
28:47over a final furlong,
28:48but the fact is,
28:50he hasn't yet won a major race.
28:52Do you think he's still in with a good chance?
28:54If this give him the ground, then yes.
28:58Ha!
28:58Ha!
29:01Ha!
29:03Ha!
29:05Ha!
29:06Ha!
29:08Ha!
29:09Ha!
29:10Ha!
29:12Ha!
29:13Ha!
29:14Ha!
29:14Ha!
29:14Ha!
29:15Ha!
29:16Ha!
29:16Ha!
29:33All right, all right,
29:35hold your horses, I'm coming, I'm coming.
29:40Good afternoon.
29:42You must be Stevens.
29:44Oh, that's right, sir.
29:46I'm a doctor.
29:49Well, Sir Robert asked me to call on his sister
29:51at the first opportunity.
29:52I'm new to the area.
29:53He said nothing about it to me, sir.
29:55Oh, he must have forgotten.
29:57Hardly surprising for a man as busy as Sir Robert.
29:59I'm afraid her ladyship is out taking her carriage exercise
30:03at the moment.
30:04How long is she likely to be?
30:06Well, no more than half an hour, sir.
30:09Oh, in that case, I don't mind waiting.
30:17You appear to be in some pain yourself.
30:19Oh, it's the rheumatist, sir.
30:23These old bones have taken a pounding in their time.
30:26Health's not what it was.
30:28Now, why don't you tell me about it?
30:30Beg pardon, sir.
30:31Well, now that I'm here, I might as well make myself useful.
30:35Oh, that's very kind of you, sir.
30:38Well, it starts in the bottom of my wrist, and then it goes up.
30:44In the shoulder?
30:45That's right.
31:05Bye-bye.
31:06Bye.
31:31Bye-bye.
31:49S.B.
32:07Of course the worst time is first thing in the morning, my back and my legs, oh, stiff as a
32:15board, and my feet, did I tell you about my feet?
32:23No.
32:24Oh, I'll tell you about my feet, blocks of ice, like blocks of ice, can't feel them sometimes.
32:31Your blood's not circulating properly, it's a common problem.
32:36And then there's the other trouble.
32:43The other trouble?
32:46No, the other trouble.
33:01No.
33:02No.
33:16No.
33:30No.
33:33No.
33:34No.
33:44No.
33:48No.
33:49No.
34:08I've tried everything, but it doesn't make any difference at all.
34:13I'm in just as much agony now as I ever was.
34:32Roll it right up.
34:35Oh, that'll be her leadership.
34:38She's back early.
34:41Please excuse me, but I'm afraid I have another urgent appointment.
34:50I'm afraid I have another urgent appointment.
35:20Thank you, Stevens. We'll be all right now.
35:23Thank you, Stevens.
35:27Right you are, Miss.
35:47Strange.
36:01Holmes, thank goodness.
36:03Fortunately, the bedroom was on the ground floor.
36:05Didn't you have any luck?
36:06Few things are still unclear, but before the night is out,
36:09I hope to have solved the mystery of Shoscombe Old Place.
36:22If Samuel Brewer returned to the hall to demand his money,
36:26he might have done so at night.
36:27He could have been the man that Sir Robert met at the old church.
36:34That Sir Robert flew into one of his rages and killed him.
36:39And in a moment of sheer panic,
36:42tried to dispose of the body by putting it into the furnace.
36:45Hence, the note case.
36:48Wilson, the vibrations!
36:53If perhaps maybe amid all the evidence we have so far
36:55that is purely circumstantial.
36:59Oh.
37:25What?
37:26Resin.
37:28Resin.
37:33Resin.
37:35Or an alcohol base.
37:41Traces of it on a few strands of hair
37:44found in Lady Beatrice's room.
37:50Come, Watson.
37:50The telegram will not keep Sir Robert away much longer.
37:54What are we doing?
38:19What happened while I was away?
38:23Nothing, sir.
38:23Don't lie to me, Mason.
38:25Something's been going on behind my back.
38:32Has anyone been around here asking questions?
38:35No one, sir.
38:39Apart from some people I met near Crendel.
38:44I don't know their names.
38:46What did you talk about?
38:49Nothing much.
38:50They were interested in the old church.
38:55Fool!
39:05Well, if Samuel Brewer was not the victim,
39:09why was his note case found in the cellar at the hall?
39:12Who else in the household has the initials S.B.?
39:15S.B.
39:17S.B.
39:18S.B.
39:19Sandy Bay!
39:22Harvey was dismissed
39:24for stealing from other members of the household.
39:28One of his duties was to tend to the furnace in the cellar.
39:31The fact remains that a body was burned.
39:33If it wasn't Brewer's, then whose was it?
39:49let's walk a little bit.
39:58Let's walk a little bit.
40:14Oh, sir.
40:18Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
41:14What could you possibly look to find in a place like this?
41:20The lead lining has been cut.
41:35Just as I thought, the bolts have been loosened.
41:44Watson, I'm going to need your help to open this.
41:48Holmes, that's desecration!
42:18Holmes, I'm going to need your help.
42:20Holmes, what are you doing on my property?
42:23Who are you?
42:25What are you doing here?
42:49What are you doing here?
43:04Mr. Holmes, what happened?
43:06A good question, Mr. Mason.
43:08One that you've been directed to Sir Robert.
43:12Oh, disgusting contraptions.
43:18How dare you get out?
43:20I was going to join you for tea, but I see him too late.
43:24Get out this instant, or I'll call for Sir Robert.
43:26Sir Robert knows that I'm here. Please, Miss Evans, will you sit down?
43:33I felt I couldn't visit Shotsky World Place without paying my respects to Lady Beatrice.
43:41Oh, you have brandy with your tea?
43:45For medicinal purposes, of course.
43:48Yes, of course.
43:51But is that enough, I wonder?
43:53Enough for what?
43:54Brandy revives the spirits, but how do you think it is sufficient to raise the dead?
44:04Don't move, Miss Evans.
44:06I love you guys.
44:07Yeah.
44:25I love you, Miss Evans.
44:51That should be comfortable enough
44:53until your own doctor arrives.
44:57I am Sherlock Holmes.
44:58Perhaps my name is familiar to you.
45:02I know appearances are against me,
45:05but you must believe that I could act in no other way.
45:08I'm very happy to hear you say so.
45:10But I fear your explanations must be for the police.
45:15Police, Sir Robert.
45:17The responsibility for what has been done is entirely mine.
45:20Miss Evans and Joe Barnes are merely following my instructions.
45:24You must promise that they will come to no harm.
45:26I can promise you nothing.
45:29But I will hear a plain statement of the facts.
45:33Very well.
45:35You've clearly gone pretty deeply into my affairs.
45:38Otherwise, I should not have found you where I did.
45:42I've always known that if Beatrice died,
45:46the estate would revert to my brother-in-law's family.
45:49Everything would be seized,
45:51including the stables and the horses.
45:56Well, Mr. Holmes,
45:58my sister did die
46:00just a week ago.
46:01And you told no one.
46:03I had little alternative.
46:05If I told the truth,
46:06I faced absolute ruin.
46:07But if I could stave things off until the race,
46:11I knew all might be well.
46:15Beatrice died of the heart condition
46:17that had long afflicted her.
46:19That will be for a coroner to decide.
46:22Her own doctor would certify that for months
46:24her symptoms had threatened such an end.
46:29Joe Barnes came to see me in search of work
46:33a day or two before Beatrice died.
46:36He seemed a trustworthy lad,
46:38and it came into my mind
46:40that he might,
46:41for a short time,
46:44impersonate my dear sister.
46:46It was but a case of appearing daily in her carriage,
46:49for no one need enter her room,
46:51save Miss Evans.
46:52Of course, I had to take her into my confidence.
46:57The whole deception distressed me greatly,
47:00but I could see no other course to take.
47:03Naturally, the body couldn't remain in the bedroom.
47:09On the first night,
47:11Joe and I carried it out to the old millhouse.
47:14We were followed by her pet spaniel,
47:17which afterwards howled continually at the door.
47:21So I felt some safer place was needed.
47:28I got rid of the dog,
47:30and we carried Beatrice to the crypt of the church.
47:35It seemed to me to be no unworthy resting place
47:37if we put her for a time
47:39in the coffin of one of her husband's ancestors,
47:43lying in what is still consecrated ground.
47:47I paid my respects to her there every day.
48:18I paid my exams.
48:24I paid my abstinence to the rescue of school,
48:45As to the old relics which we took from the coffin, Joe and I removed them.
48:50He descended from the bedroom at night and burned them in the furnace.
49:00Was it necessary to lay that monstrous trap?
49:04I was determined that no one should disturb my sister's rest.
49:09But how you suspected her death, I cannot imagine.
49:12Well, yesterday, when Miss Evans ordered the carriage to drive on, I concluded that she
49:18is afraid of something.
49:19I suspected that something was Jasper.
49:25If Evans knew the dogs do not make mistakes, he would have known that it wasn't his mistress.
49:32But we must leave all this for the police.
49:34But why?
49:36A day or two is all I need.
49:38Say nothing yet, I beg of you.
49:40The race will have been run, and my nightmare might be over.
49:47I loved Beatrice with all my heart, and there was no indignity or irreverence.
49:52I don't feel I have wronged the dead.
49:56I realized that my motives were selfish, but my sister would not have wished to see me
50:02destroyed.
50:12That does not entitle you to break the law.
50:26Listen to this, Holmes.
50:28Following the success of Shoskam Prince in yesterday's Champion Stakes, Sir Robert has
50:36received sufficient winnings to settle all his debts, with enough left to re-establish
50:42him in a fair position in life.
50:44Ha!
50:46However, the victory was marred by the sudden death of Sir Robert's sister, Lady Beatrice
50:53Folder, whose love of horses was at least as great as his own.
51:03Even the elusive Samuel Brewer has returned from his hideaway in France to send a telegram
51:09of congratulations to Sir Robert on his win.
51:13It transpires that even creditors have their creditors.
51:16It explains why Samuel Brewer was so anxious to get his money back.
51:20But to send a telegram?
51:22Such barefaced hypocrisy.
51:26So how much did you win on Shoskam Prince?
51:31Twenty guineas.
51:32It's disgraceful.
51:38Champagne, Mrs. Hudson?
51:40Of course.
51:41In the circumstances.
51:43Well, it's very good of you, but I've only won twenty guineas.
51:46Plus my ten.
51:49You're not the only one that likes a plunge on the horses from time to time, Doctor.
51:53As do you miss all luck.
52:22All right.
