(0.00 / 0 votes)The Star of Rhodesia
is one of the most famous
of the Earth's treasures.
First touched
by the fingers
of the humble
[unintelligible].
It would have
been better
had it never been found...
for all those
who possessed it
came to sudden and
violent death.
within the sound of
[unintelligible].
In the shadow
of Tower Bridge
is the carpenter's
shop of Mock and Son,
coffin makers.
A beautiful job
if I may so.
You'll be sure to have it
at the
undertakers in time?
Of course.
The Scotch Express
leaves Uston Station
at 7:
30 tonight.That leaves
very little time
for the arrangement
of the body.
Your mother is it not?
Yes.
You are taking
her to Scotland?
Yes, Edinburgh,
her home.
Oh thank you.
Rather a nuisance
traveling by train...
ain't it?
Off with you.
Go on get about
your business.
Oh.
I'm terribly sorry.
Mr. Holmes.
Hello.
I was afraid you wouldn't
get here in time.
I was studying the faces
of our fellow passengers.
Fascinating hobby
and sometimes most
enlightening.
Lady Margaret is aboard
the train I presume?
Oh yes, mother's
expecting you.
I reserved a compartment
for you and your
friend, Doctor Watson.
As a matter of fact,
it's in this coach here,
just ahead of
the luggage van.
Day coach?
Yes the seats
are all taken.
Mother wasn't interested
in a bed so much
as she was into
getting to Edinburgh.
So naturally it
wasn't very difficult
to persuade her to
travel in a day coach.
Exactly.
It had been open to take
on additional passengers.
So I observed.
I say it was awfully
decent of you to come
considering
the fact that
I was so secretive
about it all.
Mr. Dear Mr. Carstairs,
there was no
need for secrecy
I already knew.
You knew that mother
insisted on bringing
the Star of Rhodesia
with her to London?
And that while here
an attempted has been
made to steal it.
Did Scotland Yard
tell you that?
Oh no my dear
Mr. Carstairs.
The fact that your mother
owns the famous diamond
is common knowledge.
She came down to London
to attend the reception
at Buckingham Palace,
and quite naturally,
wore the Star
of Rhodesia.
You want me to
accompany you
back to your home
in Edinburgh.
Therefore, an attempt
must have been made
to steal the Star
of Rhodesia
while you were
here in London.
way you explain it,
Mr. Holmes.
Thank you.
If you don't mind,
I'll wait here for my
friend Doctor Watson.
I can't think
what's keeping him.
Mother and I will
be expecting you.
Oh could I take
this for you?
Oh I'd be much
obliged. Thank you.
We'll be in
compartment 'E.'
Yes.
Ticket please.
Here's your carriage sir.
Well, well, well
look who's here,
Inspector Lestrade.
Why Mr. Holmes.
Taking you a
trip, Inspector?
Fishing hey.
Bit of a holiday.
Oh it's very nice.
Trout?
Huh?
Oh yes, yes.
Rather large rods for
trout aren't they?
Salmon perhaps.
Well, as a
matter of fact,
I'm going mostly
for the rest.
As a matter of fact
you're on a job for
Scotland Yard aren't you?
I trust this is
the right carriage?
This is where we take
care of the overflow sir.
I see.
The porter will
take your bags.
I'll carry this myself
if you don't mind.
Ready to go sir.
Half past seven hey?
Mind your head sir.
Watson!
Coming Holmes!
Watson!
All right Holmes
I'm coming.
I beg your pardon.
I beg yours.
Thank you for your
timely assistance.
Really Watson aren't
you a little stout
for this sort of thing?
Rubbish, ideal weight
for a man of my age.
Ran into an old friend
