- 17:28Speaker 1: wrote to me too, twice a week when I wrote
- 17:32Speaker 1: to mother too.
- 17:33Speaker 5: Then what I did not get the letters?
- 17:34Speaker 1: And the answer to that should be obvious, My dear Billy,
- 17:37Speaker 1: the postman deliberately withheld them from you.

- 22:59Speaker 1: mind may find out happy oblivion this way, rather than
- 23:02Speaker 1: in the confines, but than asylum.
- 23:04Speaker 4: If you're probably right home.
- 23:05Speaker 1: It's been a shocking case, Watson. Shocking, and once again
- 23:09Speaker 1: it proves the old saying that violence does, in truth
- 23:12Speaker 1: recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the
- 23:16Speaker 1: fit which he digs for another Now, doctor Watton, what
