:12:00
How did you know
it was me, I.
:12:02
Me is acceptable, Watson,
unless, of course,
:12:04
you're a purist,
which I doubt,
:12:06
and may I add
that your step
:12:07
is like no
other in London.
:12:08
You're just in
time for breakfast.
:12:10
Good, I rather
counted on that.
:12:11
Mrs. Hudson,
dear, how are you?
:12:13
Oh, it's good to
see you again, sir.
:12:15
I think they'll be
enough here for two.
:12:16
Splendid.
:12:19
You're a sight for
sore eyes, Watson.
:12:21
Thanks, old boy,
:12:22
and so are you.
:12:23
Sit down.
:12:24
Good, thank you.
:12:26
All right let's have it.
:12:27
What brings you from
North Cumberland
:12:28
at this early hour?
:12:30
Bad business, Holmes,
:12:32
very bad business.
:12:33
How did you know
:12:35
that I came from
North Cumberland?
:12:36
Elementary, my
dear Watson.
:12:37
You're overnight bag
:12:39
carried the fresh
Houston label.
:12:40
The only train arriving
at Houston Station
:12:42
at this hour is the
New Castle Express
:12:43
from North Cumberland.
:12:45
There goes the night,
:12:46
thou cometh from
North Cumberland.
:12:48
Obvious, isn't it?
:12:50
Quite.
:12:51
Now tell me, how dark deep
:12:52
was Hurlstone
Towers last night?
:12:54
Well that's what I came
to see you about, Holmes.
:12:55
About ten o'clock
last night
:12:57
I was sitting in the li...
:12:58
how did you know that
I came from Hurlstone?
:13:01
You wrote me that
you volunteered
:13:02
for medical service
within the realm.
:13:04
With your experience
:13:05
what post could have
been offered you
:13:06
other than to
put you in charge
:13:08
of a home of
convalescent officers?
:13:09
Only one such home
has been opened
:13:11
in North Cumberland
in the last month
:13:12
and that's Musgrave
Manor at Hurlstone.
:13:15
Simple reasoning,
:13:17
a child could do it.
:13:18
Not your child, Watson.
:13:20
What?
:13:21
I never had a child.
:13:23
I very nearly did though.
:13:25
Did I ever tell you about
that widow Twikem,
:13:28
a very narrow escape?
:13:29
I just found out in time
:13:30
that she had the most
horrible little squirt
:13:32
about three and a half.
:13:33
Yes, Watson.
:13:34
I think we better
stick to Hurlstone.
:13:36
Oh, sorry, What?
:13:37
Oh Hurlstone.
:13:39
It's a grim old
palace, very spooky.
:13:40
Don't tell me that
you met a ghost.
:13:42
Well not so
spooky as that.
:13:43
Ghosts don't stab people
in the neck do they?
:13:47
Or do they?
:13:50
Not well-bred
ghosts, Watson.
:13:52
Who was stabbed
in the neck?
:13:54
My young assistant,
Dr. Sexton.
:13:56
When?
:13:58
Last night.
:13:59
Any idea who did it?
