Holmes University: The Master Blackmailer Page #2

---

He decided to

give me a lesson,

I've never been so

frightened in my life.

Lottie what is it?

Lottie?

What's the problem?

There's some letters.

What?

Looks like it's goodbye

Buddley Solterton.

I must go to her.

No my angel.

Prince Muir is about to

marry Baroness Haganlod.

Lost his first wife,

Princess Mary Devagram

ten years ago.

Lord Rosebury has

accepted an invitation

to dine at the Cutler's

Feast in Sheffield.

You're not trying Watson.

Well really Holmes?

I've been reading

things out

since half past

eight this morning.

You haven't reacted

to a single article.

I shall react

I assure you

the moment you

read out something

which catches

my attention.

Oh this is interesting.

Lord Hockstein of

English Cricketers

are leaving next month

for Philadelphia

and Toronto.

What on earth does

that continent

know about cricket?

The honorable Miss Miles

has broken off

her engagement

to Colonel Dorking

two days before

the wedding.

The most important item

in a woman's

appearance this winter

will be her headgear.

Yes?

I've come to light

the fire for you sir.

Not at the

moment thank you.

Go away.

Inspector?

Mr. Sherlock Holmes?

Yes.

It's from Colonel Dorking.

Who delivered it?

His batman.

This is Colonel Dorking.

His engagement to the

honorable Miss Miles

was broken off yesterday.

You see I was listening.

It's Lestrade.

I don't know that

he's in Inspector.

Inspector?

Mr. Holmes,

you know what

I'm here for.

No prey tell me.

I've come for the letter,

which arrived in

that envelope.

It was stolen

from the rooms

of Colonel John Dorking

and delivered into the

hands of Doctor Watson

not twenty

minutes ago.

Do you have it?

Delivered, yes

but stolen?

It was a postal

note to me Lestrade.

It's police evidence.

The Colonel is dead.

Yes we know.

by his own hand.

Foul play is not

suspected is it?

How can you be

so sure it isn't?

Because the note

made it clear.

So,

why should he

write to you

if he's topping himself?

Did you know the man?

I had no knowledge of him.

Oh, answer my question

or better still

show me the letter.

It will tell you nothing.

So it seems to me

on the point

of engaging you

he must have

changed his mind.

And took a

soldier's way out.

What does he mean by...

We'll never

know Inspector.

But he was engaged to

be married damn it.

Yes.

Well wouldn't be

the first time

and it won't be the last.

So it was blackmail

you'd say?

Well done Lestrade.

No need for

sarcasm Mr. Holmes.

Your as much

in the dark,

as we are then

about who this

blackmailer might be.

You can be sure

of one thing

Colonel Dorking was

not his first victim
