I wish the child

joy of you.

Look Bella there's the

famous Flora Miller,

she used to be a

friend of Robert's

but I don't think she

likes him anymore.

I can explain everything.

It was a

it was a long time ago.

Who are you?

She's not upstairs.

Go away.

The house has

been searched now

top to bottom.

Not a sign of

Hettie anywhere.

Nothing.

Alice?

One of Mrs. Doran's

cloaks is missing sir.

Nothing else.

No sir not even a purse.

Thank you Alice.

Sir.

We must call the police.

What about this woman

of yours, this actress,

could she have

anything to do with it?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I'll get the police.

Do you have

any objection?

No.

Where are you?

Oh my darling.

Well, well, well.

Hmm.

I've told you what

you should be doing

is eating properly.

Come in.

This has come.

It is marked

'Most Urgent.'

Mrs. Hudson

I can still see.

Are you all

right Mr. Holmes.

You know I wish I'd

never unlocked the door.

No.

Well it's got a

personal autograph.

That's an improvement.

This morning's mail

was from a fishmonger

and a tidewaiter.

Well that's a fashionable

epistle indeed.

My dear Sherlock Holmes,

Lord Blackwater tells me

that I may place

implicit reliance

upon your judgment

and discretion.

Scotland Yard

is already acting

in this matter

and there is no

objection to you

It's about that Lord

St. Simon wedding.

Yes dull, dull, dull.

Azure, 3 caltrops in

chief over a fess sable.

That's him alright.

It's Lord St. Simon,

he's early.

Watson I'm

trying to sleep.

You know my methods.

Leave the door open.

Where is Holmes huh?

Mr. Holmes is

indisposed my Lord.

He has entrusted the

preliminaries to me.

I know his methods.

Very well.

Very well.

Apart from the distress

this has caused me

you understand

the delicacy?

Indeed.

Indeed.

Lord Blackwater said that

Mr. Holmes has handled

cases of this sort before

though hardly I imagine

from the same

class of society.

He would in fact

be descending.

Sir.

On Mr. Holmes' last client

to the sort was a King.

Very well Watson.

Huh, I had no idea.

Which King?

Well you can

understand my Lord

that he extends to the

affairs of other clients

the same secrecy,

which he's promised

you in yours.

Of course.

How are we to

find her sir?

How can she of

disappeared?

Where is she?

I must have her back.

A woman obscured.

It was after the ceremony

outside the church

that first noticed that

something was wrong.

As you came out

and not before?

No.

And as she came in?

She appeared a

little apprehensive

but she looked

quite lovely

and very happy.

If I remember rightly

the newspapers implied

that Miss Miller

was drunk
