Sherlock Holmes The Pearl of Death Page #8

matches, light,

oh no it ought to be...

and so it is.

Eureka.

Pure deductive reasoning.

I must tell

Holmes about that.

He couldn't have

done better himself.

The first door

on the right sir.

Oh thank you,

thank you Madame.

Come in.

Doctor Watson I believe.

Is Mr. Holmes in?

Well he's out sir.

He'll be back any minute.

Won't you come

in and wait?

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Sit down sir?

Thank you.

Have a cigarette?

No thank you.

No doctor won't allow

me to smoke cigarettes

but may I?

Yes, yes sir.

You'll find

matches on the table.

Oh thank you very much.

You know my health has

never been the same

since that dreadful affair

at Farnsworth Castle.

Farnsworth Castle?

Farnsworth yes,

I thought I

recognized you.

Just a minute, I'll

tell you who you are.

Really?

Yes, simple deduction.

The bowed shoulders

of the scholar,

the open constancy

of the churchmen,

you must be Lord

Farnsworth's brother,

Archdeacon Farnsworth.

No sir, I'm no archdeacon.

Oh then you're the man

who found the body

in the bathtub.

No it was the butler

who found the body

and I was in the cupboard.

Strangled wasn't he?

No, no shot.

Oh shot, yes of

course, shot, yes.

Lord Farnsworth's

uncle wasn't it?

I am Lord

Farnsworth's uncle.

Oh of course.

My mistake, your

Farnsworth uncle.

And your name is...

Theopolus Kirby,

Lord Farnsworth's

uncle and biographer.

Of course I

remember you well.

I... Holmes will be

very glad to see you.

He maybe a bit late.

By the way as

he isn't here

if there's anything

that I can do.

Same, same

training as Holmes,

pure deductive reasoning.

For example, I can see

that you're in trouble.

On the contrary sir,

I've never been happier.

Oh, my mistake,

never been happier.

I've been looking for

some little

token of gratitude,

which I could

give to Mr. Holmes

and at last I think

I've found something

that he'll appreciate.

It's Doctor Johnson's

great dictionary,

an early folio.

Early folio.

Doctor Johnson

dictionary,

quite sure that he'd be

very excited about that.

That's very kind of you.

I'm a bit of a book

collector myself.

No please, please, I, I,

I've inscribed a

little dedication.

It may be a little

flowery perhaps

but well it's

straight from my heart,

to his I hope

and it's just a

little private.

Oh of course

a little private

and you want him to

be the first to read it.

That is so...

you're very

understanding sir.

Thank you very much.

Now I'm afraid I must go.

I'm sorry I cannot

stay any longer.

Don't you worry

about the book sir

I give you my word

that Sherlock Holmes

will be the first

person to open it.

Oh that makes me
