Do we want him or

want the pearl?

That's just what I'm

getting at Watson.

One of two things

has happened,

either the woman he bumped

into was an accomplice

in which case

she has the pearl,

or he managed somehow to

conceal it in his flight.

He had to stick that pearl

in some make shift

hiding place.

He'll never rest

until his confederates

have it safely

in their hands.

He'll try to send

them a message.

You are to give him

every opportunity.

But how?

May I suggest, Lestrade

that he's permitted

to have his food sent

in from the outside?

Huh?

Oh.

Here we are Inspector.

Here is his tray just the

way Mr. Conover left it.

Ten to one

there's a message

in there somewhere.

Yes, what makes you

so blinking sure

there's a message in it?

Because he asked me

for a lend of me pencil

that's why and

he promised a quid

if I'd keep my mouth shut.

Oh he did did he?

Cunning ain't he?

Well there's some

that's cunninger.

He's got the wrong

pig by the ears

this Mr. Giles Conover.

Yes.

He hasn't got

Mr. Sherlock Holmes

to deal with.

Well nothing there.

There might be a note

stuck on underneath.

Seeing eye that's what

you've got to have.

Nothing much gets

by you Inspector.

Oh we all slip up

once in a while.

No one's

infallible you know.

That's funny.

Got you Mr. Giles Conover.

Here hang on to this.

What is it?

You'll soon see,

a note to his accomplice

or I'm a Dutchman.

Yes.

Fancy me pulling

Mr. Sherlock Holmes'

chestnuts out of the fire.

Thought he'd fool didn't

he, bless the little man.

This will tell us where

the Borgia Pearl is.

It means promotion for

me, surely, surely alive.

What'd it say?

What do you care

what it says?

It didn't say where

the Borgia Pearl

was at Inspector.

Just you clear

up this tray,

that's all you got to do.

And see it gets back

to the restaurant.

Very good Inspector.

Holmes and his theories.

Naddie my girl get

a move on will you?

What are you staring

at that plate for?

Oh I ain't a staring at

it I'm a washing it see?

Well I ain't paying you

to go to sleep on

your feet you know?

Go on you old

bag of grease.

Wash your own

dirty dishes.

See?

You can't do

that there here.

It's lovely

weather ain't it?

Holmes you drive

me raving mad

standing there scraping

on that filthy fiddle

as if you haven't got

a care in the world.

All the time

your reputation's

been dragged in the mud.

My dear Watson, I

really must caution you

against hitting newspaper

reporters in the teeth.

It's... isn't dignified.

Well he deserved

it the idiot.

But how did you know

I struck a reporter?

Observation my

dear fellow.

You come in here
