:21:00
I'll show you one
of his photographs.
:21:06
Well it's that
match folder.
:21:08
Why did he want to
photograph that for?
:21:09
Probably to line
up his equipment
:21:11
before he photographed
the document.
:21:14
We got him Watson.
:21:15
Oh have we?
:21:16
Yes.
:21:17
Come along.
:21:18
All is clear as mud to me.
:21:21
Just as I thought,
:21:22
this document has been
reduced to microfilm
:21:24
to make its
concealment possible.
:21:26
Alfred Pettibone is a
most ingenious fellow.
:21:28
A bulky document
:21:30
is obviously
difficult to conceal
:21:31
but two pages
of a state paper,
:21:33
photographed
on microfilm,
:21:34
would be reduced to a size
:21:36
no larger than a stamp.
:21:38
Slitting a match
folder with this...
:21:41
with this razor blade...
:21:46
Pettibone placed the now
minute document inside,
:21:48
stuck it together again
:21:49
and there he had it.
:21:50
An American match folder,
rare in London
:21:52
but completely
inconspicuous in
the United States.
:21:54
Do you mean to say
were off to America
:21:55
just to look for
a match folder?
:21:57
It's a big country.
:21:58
A big country Watson
:22:00
and a small match folder.
:22:02
Come along.
:22:09
Did you find what you were
looking for Mr. Holmes?
:22:11
Yes thank you
Mrs. Pettibone.
:22:13
By the by you haven't
been up on the roof
:22:14
in the last twenty
minutes have you?
:22:16
Why no.
:22:17
What made you think that...
:22:18
Well we distinctly
heard footsteps...
:22:19
Nonsense Watson,
:22:21
it was the house settling.
:22:22
Gracious yes.
:22:23
Such popping
and groaning,
:22:25
we're quite used to it.
:22:26
Thank you.
:22:28
Goodbye Mr. Holmes.
:22:29
Goodbye Mrs. Pettibone.
:22:30
Goodbye Doctor Watson.
:22:32
Goodbye.
:22:33
So sorry you
missed Alfred.
:22:34
I'll tell him the
minute he gets back.
:22:35
Gets back?
:22:36
Oh yes, yes,
yes of course.
:22:38
Goodbye again
Mrs. Pettibone.
:22:39
Just a minute Watson.
:22:52
That was no accident
I assure you Watson.
:22:54
Well aren't you going
to find out who did it?
:22:56
Time's too precious now.
:22:58
At least I know
they've learned
:22:59
of my entry into the case.
