Sherlock Holmes and the House of Fear Page #3

---

no man ever goes

whole to his grave.

Now you will come in here

gentlemen, won't you?

Oh thank you.

That's right.

That's right.

Yes.

Yes.

These gentlemen have

come about the body.

Why didn't you take

them to the cellar?

Oh no, Doctor Merrivale,

you discovered it,

after all it's your body.

That's right.

I say,

you're

Sherlock Holmes

aren't you?

I am

and this is my friend and

colleague, Doctor Watson.

How do you do?

How do you do sir?

Yes I thought I

recognized you.

You know I followed

your exploits for years.

The detection of crime

is one of my hobbies.

This is a surprise

and a pleasure.

A pleasure I hope

but hardly a surprise.

You saw me at the

inn this afternoon.

Touch'.

This is Allen Cosgrave

and Captain Simpson.

How do you do?

This stressing

business, Mr. Homes,

we were all fond

of Guy Davis.

Davis?

Oh the fellow

in the furnace.

But if he was

burnt to a crisp

how'd you know

that it was Davis?

Well he's the

only one missing.

Besides we identified

him by his cuff links.

Why don't you see

for yourselves?

Come along gentlemen.

Thank you.

May I ask Doctor Merrivale

whether Mr. Davis

also received

the warning of the

orange pips after dinner.

Oh so you know

about the others?

You seem to be

very well informed

about our affairs,

Mr. Holmes.

As a matter of fact

Davis didn't have

dinner with us tonight.

Had he indicated his

intended absence?

No, no he hadn't.

Mrs. Monteith was

quite put out about it.

Pardon me, will

you gentlemen?

Doctor Watson,

what's Mr. Holmes up to?

I haven't the foggiest.

Go on.

You'll find out,

my dear sir,

in good time.

Isn't there something

you wish to tell

me Mrs. Monteith?

Me sir?

Yes.

Please give it to me.

The envelope addressed

to Mr. Guy Davis.

Thank you.

Five pips this time.

How did you know

that she had them?

It's obvious

my dear Watson,

since Mr. Davis

was not at dinner,

Mrs. Monteith

had no opportunity

to deliver the envelope.

Yes of course,

quite obvious.

Where'd you find it?

It was pushed under

the door like the others.

Thank you Mrs. Monteith,

that will be all.

Where are they coming

from, Mr. Holmes?

Who's sending

these things to us?

Is there anyone who might

have a grudge against you?

Have orange pips

any significance

for any of you?

Well?

I seem to remember

reading somewhere

that among some

obscure tribe of savages

orange pips

were looked upon...

as a symbol of death.

Oh really?

Sergeant?

Aye sir.

I think you'd better

telephone Scotland Yard.

We've never

had a telephone

at Driercliff House no.

They're so noisy.

I can make the call

from the village sir.

All right.

It's not often we
