Sherlock Holmes and the House of Fear Page #4

have the opportunity

at meeting such

charming people.

You go ahead

I'll follow you.

I'm afraid, Mr. Holmes,

if you don't go

with the sergeant

there's no way

to get back

to the village tonight.

Oh but Mr. Holmes,

there's no need for you

to stay at the inn.

It's such a dreary place.

We've plenty

of room here

and it's much

more cheerful.

I thought we came

here for privacy.

We wouldn't dream

of putting you out.

Oh but I thought

it would be

so nice to have such,

such exciting people

as our guests.

Yes your right.

I'm sure Mr. Holmes'

business in the village

is much more

important, Alastair.

Please Mr.

Holmes we insist.

I think Alastair's idea

is an excellent one,

don't you gentlemen?

You speak for

yourself, Cosgrave.

Come, come, come,

We are all friends.

Aren't we,

or are we?

Guy Davis was

a friend too.

So were King and Raeburn.

You've got to

stay Mr. Holmes.

You and Doctor Watson,

we can put you up.

Any objections

Doctor Merrivale?

This is a tempest

in a teapot Mr. Holmes

but you're

welcome of course.

Now if you'll all excuse

me I'm rather tired.

Good night.

What do you say Simpson?

Glad to have you

gentlemen of course.

Then you will

stay both of you?

Thank you Mr. Alastair

we should be very glad to.

Sergeant will you

have our things

sent up from the inn?

Right away sir.

This is excellent.

I'll tell Mrs. Monteith

to get your rooms ready.

Mr. Holmes,

I must say I

feel a lot safer

now that you

and Doctor Watson

are in the house.

Oh a delight to be of

any use, Mr. Cosgrave.

And well if you would

care to keep me informed

if you should

discover anything

I would be only too

glad to help you.

I'd do anything

to get to the bottom

of this awful mystery.

I'll bear that in

mind Mr. Cosgrave.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Well what do you

make of it Watson?

Well my theory is

its Doctor Merrivale.

Did you take a

look at his eyes?

Rather frightening huh?

Yes but that might

be accounted for

by advanced myopia,

complicated with

a stigmatism.

Well who do you

think it is?

At the moment

I suspect no one

and everyone.

So it's your theory

that Doctor Merrivale

is the murderer?

Yes, yes Merrivale.

Hum.

What about...

what about

Captain Simpson?

Simpson?

I see what you mean?

Do you?

Yes.

There's a surly looking

chap if I ever saw one.

He didn't much relish

our being asked to

stay here either.

Right you are Watson.

Do you suspect

anyone else?

Well of course,

there's old Alastair.

And what might cause

you to suspect Alastair?

He's too good to be true.

What are you looking

for now Holmes?

I wish I knew Watson.
