- 17:25Speaker 4: same thing that killed your name?
- 17:27Speaker 7: Yeah, dear Victor, he was dead on the fourth day,
- 17:31Speaker 7: strong hearty fellow. He was too surprising that you should
- 17:34Speaker 7: both contract such a strange, out of the way disease
- 17:37Speaker 7: in the heart of London. A disease too, of which
- 17:39Speaker 7: I had made a special sturdy. Very smart of you
- 17:43Speaker 7: to notice that in Victor's case, but rather uncharitable to
- 17:46Speaker 7: suggest that it was cause and effect.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Oh, I knew that you did it? Or you did?
- 17:52Speaker 2: Did you?
- 17:53Speaker 4: When you can't prove it?
- 17:54Speaker 7: You've got to fine nerves spreading reports like that about
- 17:57Speaker 7: me and then crawling to me for health. You're in trouble.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Don't don't hold it against let by God's be by
- 18:05Speaker 2: God's I'll put it out by head. Oh, cull me up.

- 18:31Speaker 2: I'm aster.
- 18:32Speaker 7: So you think you contracted this disease among the sailors, Eh.
- 18:36Speaker 2: That's the only way I can account for it.
- 18:38Speaker 7: You think you have brains? Consider yourself smart, don't you?
- 18:43Speaker 7: Well I'm smarter than you are, mister Holmes, think back,
- 18:47Speaker 7: think that. Can't you remember any other way you could
- 18:50Speaker 7: have got this thing?

- 22:05Speaker 7: insane charges for which you have no proof.
- 22:08Speaker 4: My word is.
- 22:09Speaker 2: As good as yours.
- 22:10Speaker 7: Holmes, remember that good it happens. I'd totally forgotten, my
- 22:13Speaker 7: dear Watson. A thousand apologies.
- 22:15Speaker 4: You can come out now.
- 22:16Speaker 2: That time too.
- 22:17Speaker 3: I'm just about now, I'm counting behind the all.
- 22:20Speaker 4: Mister Smith, allow me to present my witness, doctor Watson.
- 22:23Speaker 4: I'm sure he found your conversation most enlightening.
- 22:26Speaker 7: Well that settles that.
- 22:28Speaker 2: Come on, you keep moving? Well? Are you pulling Merley?
- 22:36Speaker 2: The spring didn't really pecuted at home? No? Well, you see,
- 22:40Speaker 2: my dear Watson.
- 22:41Speaker 7: A thing you have to understand is that neither you
- 22:44Speaker 7: nor missus Hudson are particularly convincing when it comes to acting.
- 22:47Speaker 7: So it was necessary to impress you with the reality
- 22:49Speaker 7: of my condition in order to obtain results. And then
- 22:53Speaker 7: you may believe that I pooh pooed my your professional ability,
- 22:57Speaker 7: but you can put that down as a part of
- 22:58Speaker 7: the delirium. I have the highest regard for your talents,
- 23:01Speaker 7: both as a doctor and as an historian.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Are you pulling my leg? Ok?
- 23:05Speaker 3: Here, you didn't, as I said, really get to pricked
- 23:08Speaker 3: with that spring?
- 23:09Speaker 2: DiDio? Certainly or not?
- 23:10Speaker 7: I always handle strange packages with suspicion.
- 23:13Speaker 3: What I want to know is how you manage to
- 23:15Speaker 3: assume that ghostly appearance.
- 23:17Speaker 4: Three days of fasting does not improve anyone's beauty. Watson,
- 23:20Speaker 4: for the rest, A bit of vastline on the forehead,
- 23:22Speaker 4: bella donna on the eye, rouge on the cheekbones, and
- 23:25Speaker 4: a crust of bees wax on the lips all produce a.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Rather satisfactory effect. Only I couldn't afford to.
- 23:31Speaker 3: Let you get too good a look at it, or
- 23:33Speaker 3: take your parson temperature quite and now, if you.
- 23:36Speaker 4: Will tell missu Hudson that her invalid has recovered sufficiency
- 23:39Speaker 4: to desire a large steak with plenty of fried onions.
- 23:43Speaker 4: I've been promising it to myself for hours,
