Young Sherlock Holmes And The Pyramid Of Fear Page #6

- I am practical.

- Weasels are practical.

And I imagined you courageous,

stout of heart.

I am courageous.

And I'm stout of heart.

It's just that...

- All right, I'll do it.

- Thank you, Watson.

Uncle would have wanted you

to have this.

Please.

Put it on.

On second thoughts, take it off.

It looks very silly. You can't wear hats.

I think it's very becoming.

- You're teasing.

- No, seriously.

The following day, we set out

to solve Waxflatter's murder.

We had very little to go on.

We only had two clues:

Waxflatter's final words, "Eh Tar",

and the dropped blowpipe.

It occurred to me

that when the cloaked figure ran off,

I had heard a peculiar jingling sound,

very much like the sound

I heard in the library at Brompton.

Holmes was intrigued, and we

decided to visit the library that night.

However, our first stop that day

was at Engle's Curio Shop.

Nice. Oh, very nice.

Egyptian. The markings, the design,

that's Egyptian craftsmanship.

- I've only seen this type once before.

- Where?

On jewellery, on sculptures.

I had it here in the shop.

- But I sold the lot.

- To whom?

An Egyptian.

Keeps some sort of tavern.

- And his name?

- Let's see...

Mm...

You promised to purchase something.

- Watson, buy something.

- Me?

- I'm short of funds right now.

- Rubbish.

Don't be a penny-pincher.

That address could lead us to our killer.

- How much do I need to spend?

- Buy anything!

(COUGHING)

Why on earth did you buy a pipe?

- It's distinguished.

- It's ridiculous.

You'll see. I shall learn to smoke it,

then you can't laugh.

(EASTERN MUSIC PLAYS)

(NOIS Y CHATTER)

(INDISTINCT)

What can I get for you boys?

Drink, food, women?

- Do you have any soup?

- Watson, please.

Are you the owner?

Have you seen this before?

Rame Tep.

Rame Tep! Rame Tep!

Rame Tep!

(MUSIC AND CHATTER STOP)

- Is that the end of the song?

- Where...?

- Where did you get this?

- I happened upon it.

Go! Take it away! Get out of here!

It's very important.

Could you tell us something about this?

(SPEAKS NATIVE TONGUE)

Get out of my tavern, or these words

will be the last words you ever hear!

Sir...

We're leaving, we're leaving.

Up there, the top shelf.

That's where I heard the sound.

Holmes, please hurry. Do you know

what happens when we're caught?

- Incredible!

- Holmes, your voice, keep it down!

Sorry, Watson.

- My God, that is remarkable!

- Holmes, please!

Oh, God. Oh, God.

What are my chances

of medical school?

- That quaint office I've dreamed of...

- Listen. "The care to preserve..."

Holmes explained that the Rame Tep

were fanatical followers of Osiris,

the Egyptian God of the Dead.

They were scorned because
