:42:00
before you gave
her the hypo?
:42:01
Certainly not.
:42:02
Nora was here.
:42:03
She helped her into bed
while I went for my bag.
:42:05
Good.
:42:06
Nora?
:42:07
Yes sir.
:42:08
When you were alone
with Miss Sally
:42:10
what was the first
thing she did?
:42:11
Well sir, she asked me
to turn down her bed
:42:12
and lay out
her nightdress.
:42:14
And what was she
doing in the meantime?
:42:15
Let me think, sir.
:42:17
Oh yes, she went
over to her desk.
:42:19
Uh-huh.
:42:20
That was when she took the
ritual from this envelope.
:42:21
What then Nora?
:42:23
Then she asked
me to step over
:42:24
and draw the curtains.
:42:25
Why someone's
pulled them open.
:42:27
Yes, I know.
:42:27
When you drew the
curtains you turned
your back on her?
:42:29
Sure.
:42:30
And it wasn't more
than two shakes
of a lamb's tail.
:42:32
Long enough.
:42:33
When you were at the
window where was she?
:42:35
She was sitting
over here,
:42:37
sitting right here
taking off her stockings.
:42:41
Oh but she never
left the chair.
:42:42
I'll kiss the book on it.
:42:44
I've got it.
:42:45
She must have packed that
paper under this cushion.
:42:48
Huh?
:42:50
She must have
changed her mind.
:42:51
Obviously.
:42:53
Well she could have
hidden it anywhere here.
:43:00
What time was it
:43:02
when you brought her
in here, Watson?
:43:03
I haven't the
faintest idea.
:43:04
The clock was striking
the quarter hour
:43:06
when I came in, sir.
:43:07
I definitely heard it.
:43:08
This clock?
:43:09
The same, sir.
:43:10
Thank you, Nora,
you may go.
:43:12
Obviously this clock was
running at twelve fifteen
:43:13
just as obviously it
stopped at twelve twenty.
:43:17
When Nora turned her back
Sally reached across,
:43:20
opened the clock
:43:22
and hid the
ritual in here.
:43:24
Amazing, Holmes.
:43:25
Elementary, my
dear Watson.
:43:30
Where fell the light on
the face of the messenger.
:43:36
Where did he speed?
:43:38
To guard the queen's Page.
:43:40
Gibberish, that's
what it is.
:43:42
Hokey, pokey.
:43:44
A thing like
this, Watson,
:43:45
that's been handed
down for centuries
:43:47
can't be mere gibberish.
:43:49
Who had entered the lists?
:43:51
The king's pale knight.
:43:53
Pale poppycock.
:43:54
I say, Watson.
:43:56
King, queen,
knight, bishop.
:43:57
Sounds like a game
of chess to me.
:43:59
Precisely.
