00:02:38,534 --> 00:02:40,Watson.

00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,Yes.

00:02:41,036 --> 00:02:43,Watch.

00:02:47,042 --> 00:02:50,The chemical reaction
you are about to witness

00:02:50,546 --> 00:02:55,will solve the mystery
concerning the persecution

00:02:55,259 --> 00:02:57,of Mr. John Vincent Harden.

00:02:57,553 --> 00:02:58,Excellent,

00:02:58,971 --> 00:03:00,the tobacco millionaire,
shall I take notes?

00:03:00,973 --> 00:03:04,No, I will dictate
in the fullness of time.

00:03:09,982 --> 00:03:12,There's a young lady wishes
to see you, Mr. Holmes.

00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:15,This is not
a convenient moment!

00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:18,She's very well spoken,
a genuine lady.

00:03:18,699 --> 00:03:20,No doubt.

00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:23,And persistent, too.

00:03:23,996 --> 00:03:26,Mrs. Hudson, I, too,
** extremely persistent,

00:03:26,582 --> 00:03:28,especially when I'm working.

00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:31,It is a matter
of great urgency, Mr. Holmes,

00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:35,or I would not be troubling you
on a Saturday evening.

00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:41,Perhaps you could, uh, delay
your chemical reaction, Holmes.

00:03:41,805 --> 00:03:43,Very well.

00:03:49,605 --> 00:03:51,Do sit down, Miss, uh?

00:03:51,273 --> 00:03:52,Violet Smith.

00:03:52,774 --> 00:03:54,Dr. Watson.

00:03:57,112 --> 00:03:58,Thank you Mrs. Hudson.

00:03:58,614 --> 00:04:01,A genuine lady,
I told you.

00:04:03,368 --> 00:04:05,Oh, please.

00:04:05,621 --> 00:04:09,Um, thank you,
I'll be quite happy here.

00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:15,Very well, Miss Smith,

00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:17,you must tell us
your matter of great urgency.

00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:19,It is obviously
not your health.

00:04:19,718 --> 00:04:23,So ardent a bicyclist
must be full of energy.

00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:24,Yes, I bicycle a good deal.

00:04:25,098 --> 00:04:27,Slight roughening on
the side of the soles

00:04:28,018 --> 00:04:30,caused by the friction
of the pedals.

00:04:30,604 --> 00:04:32,Excellent, Watson.

00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:35,The marks on your shoes.

00:04:35,150 --> 00:04:37,Oh, yes!

00:04:37,402 --> 00:04:38,Even if I have
to travel a long way,

00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:41,I take my bicycle on the train
with me as I did today.

00:04:41,823 --> 00:04:45,You will excuse me,
but it is my business.

00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:47,Yes, I nearly
fell into the error

00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,of supposing you earned
a living by typewriting,

00:04:50,499 --> 00:04:52,but of course,
it is obviously music.

00:04:52,543 --> 00:04:56,You will observe, Watson,
the spatulate finger ends,

00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,which is common
to both professions.

00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:04,There is a spirituality
about the face, however,

00:05:04,429 --> 00:05:06,which the typewriter
does not generate.

00:05:06,515 --> 00:05:08,This lady is a musician.

00:05:09,059 --> 00:05:12,Why, yes, Mr. Holmes,
I teach music!

00:05:12,396 --> 00:05:15,In the country, I presume,
from your complexion.

00:05:15,691 --> 00:05:19,Near Farnham
on the borders of Surrey!

00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:26,But please, let me explain
why I ** here.

00:05:30,706 --> 00:05:35,I ** an only child, and
my father died some years ago.

00:05:35,586 --> 00:05:37,His name and profession?

00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,James Smith,

00:05:39,173 --> 00:05:42,he conducted the orchestra
at the old lmperial Theater.

00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:45,Ah, the old lmperial, Holmes.

00:05:45,929 --> 00:05:47,Yes.

00:05:47,472 --> 00:05:49,Please continue.

00:05:51,894 --> 00:05:56,My mother and I were left
without a relation in the world

00:05:56,523 --> 00:05:59,except for one uncle,
Ralph Smith,

00:05:59,234 --> 00:06:02,who went to Africa
15 years ago,

00:06:02,654 --> 00:06:04,and we have not had a word
from him since,

00:06:04,698 --> 00:06:07,despite our Christmas cards
and photographs.

00:06:09,786 --> 00:06:12,Mr. Holmes,
I have to tell you that--

00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:15,I think you wish to tell me

00:06:15,751 --> 00:06:18,that you and your mother
are very poor,

00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:22,not withstanding your obvious
grace, dignity and talent.

00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,We were very poor.

00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:25,Ah.

00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:33,About four months ago,
in February,

00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,we were told there was
an advertisement in the Times,

00:06:35,771 --> 00:06:37,inquiring for
our whereabouts.

00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:40,You can imagine
how excited we were,

00:06:40,108 --> 00:06:42,for we thought that someone
had left us a fortune.

00:06:42,945 --> 00:06:44,I went at once
to the lawyers

00:06:44,738 --> 00:06:47,whose name was given
in the paper.

00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:53,Now, this is
Miss Violet Smith.

00:06:53,497 --> 00:06:57,The solicitor
introduced me to two men,

00:06:57,125 --> 00:07:00,a Mr. Carruthers
and a Mr. Woodley.

00:07:00,504 --> 00:07:03,They were on a visit
from South Africa.

00:07:13,559 --> 00:07:17,I wish I could tell you your
uncle left you a vast fortune,

00:07:17,271 --> 00:07:18,but as I said...

00:07:18,313 --> 00:07:21,He died in extreme poverty.

00:07:21,608 --> 00:07:26,However, I myself
** not without means.

00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:33,My mother and I
never sought charity.

00:07:33,245 --> 00:07:37,No, nor do I offer it.

00:07:39,293 --> 00:07:41,Please.

00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:47,I have a question
to ask of you.

00:07:47,134 --> 00:07:50,Your Uncle Ralph
said you were very musical,

00:07:50,179 --> 00:07:52,do you teach music?

00:07:52,347 --> 00:07:53,Yes.

00:07:53,974 --> 00:07:57,Miss Smith, I ** now a widower
with a 10-year-old daughter.

00:07:57,811 --> 00:07:59,Young Sarah.

00:08:03,192 --> 00:08:05,She needs a music teacher.

00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,So, you see,
I do not offer charity.

00:08:07,738 --> 00:08:11,A job, he wants
to give you a job!

00:08:13,702 --> 00:08:18,Whereabouts in London
do you live, Mr. Carruthers?

00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:20,I don't.

00:08:20,626 --> 00:08:24,I live about six miles
from Farnham, in Surrey,

00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:27,at Chiltern Grange.

00:08:27,174 --> 00:08:29,I couldn't possibly leave
my mother on her own.

00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:33,I will pay you
100 pounds a year.

00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:37,A hundred a year?

00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:38,Yes.

00:08:39,061 --> 00:08:41,Approximately double
the market price, I think.

00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:43,Oh, at least!

00:08:43,315 --> 00:08:48,Which you obviously accepted,
or you wouldn't be here now.

00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:49,Yes.

00:08:49,571 --> 00:08:51,I accepted the offer.

00:08:51,490 --> 00:08:52,Mr. Carruthers agreed

00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:55,that I should go home every
weekend to my mother in town.

00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:58,So this is one of your
weekend visits to London?

00:08:58,413 --> 00:09:01,It is.

00:09:01,250 --> 00:09:04,Tell me about your life
at Chiltern Grange.

00:09:06,588 --> 00:09:10,For a while,
it was quite perfect.

00:09:10,926 --> 00:09:15,Every Monday morning I would
take the train to Farnham

00:09:15,264 --> 00:09:19,and then bicycle from
the station to the house.

00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:45,The little girl's
name was Sarah,

00:09:45,169 --> 00:09:47,and she was delightful,

00:09:47,171 --> 00:09:51,as well as being
a very good pupil.

00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:55,That was very much
better, Sarah.

00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:57,May I try it again?

00:09:57,723 --> 00:10:00,Of course,
that's why we're here.

00:10:03,812 --> 00:10:07,Mr. Carruthers was
appreciative of my work,

00:10:07,816 --> 00:10:11,and an extremely kind
and considerate host.

00:10:13,447 --> 00:10:15,Sounds idyllic.

00:10:15,532 --> 00:10:16,It was.

00:10:18,327 --> 00:10:21,What happened to spoil it?

00:10:21,997 --> 00:10:23,A visitor.

00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:25,Mr. Woodley.

00:10:25,876 --> 00:10:28,However did you guess,
Mr. Holmes?

00:10:28,587 --> 00:10:33,Miss Smith,
I never guess.

00:10:34,593 --> 00:10:37,Tell me about his visit.

00:10:38,514 --> 00:10:42,He arrived
and was to stay for a week.

00:10:44,186 --> 00:10:47,But to me it seemed
like three months.

00:10:47,648 --> 00:10:52,Oh, that odious
red mustache!

00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:02,One evening after dinner,

00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:05,Mr. Carruthers...
