:12:00
on Saturday
of Lady Conynghams.

:12:02
I beg you to see me.
:12:03
I'm in desperate
need of advice.

:12:05
Sincerely yours,
Ann Brandon.

:12:08
What you make
of it, Watson?

:12:10
Somebody's
pulling your leg.

:12:11
No, no, no.
:12:13
I checked on
the young lady.

:12:14
She lives in town
with her brother.

:12:15
She's very rich,
mining fortune.

:12:17
Her father died
somewhat mysteriously

:12:18
about ten years ago.
:12:20
As for
Miss Brandon's dilemma,

:12:22
Lady Conyngham is
imminently respectable

:12:23
but she gives
the kind of parties

:12:25
that one comes away
from with a feeling

:12:26
that one hasn't
been anywhere.

:12:28
Oh, how can
you trifle with such
inconsequentiality

:12:30
when Moriarty's
lose on London?

:12:33
My dear Watson,
you astound me.

:12:35
It's the very
inconsequentiality

:12:36
of Miss Brandons message
that engages my interest.

:12:39
And Moriarty, what of him?
:12:41
I've taken the most
efficient steps

:12:43
of keeping in touch
with Moriarty.

:12:44
You're having
him followed.

:12:46
Oh don't be so
crude, Watson.

:12:47
Well what are you doing?
:12:49
Nothing.
:12:51
Nothing?
:12:52
My dear Watson you
needn't check me back

:12:54
as if I didn't
have a voice

:12:56
I said nothing.
:12:57
That's the best thing
:12:59
I can possibly
do at the moment.

:13:00
Moriarty is as curious
about my movement

:13:03
as I am about his
:13:05
so I sit here and wait
for him to come to me

:13:08
And he'll come,
:13:10
never doubt it.
:13:13
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
:13:14
So, you fiddle
while Rome burns.

:13:16
A daring
metaphor Watson.

:13:18
And what are you doing
with that inferno fiddle,

:13:20
with those flies.
:13:22
I was observing
the reaction

:13:23
on the common housefly
:13:25
of the chromatic scale.
:13:27
A brilliant experiment.
:13:29
Yes it will be,
:13:31
if I can find a note
that annoys the housefly

:13:32
then might need only
play that one note

:13:35
and all the
houseflies disappear.

:13:37
Amazing.
:13:39
No, no, no.
:13:40
Elementary,
my dear Watson,

:13:41
purely elementary.
:13:43
I expect that will
be the young lady.

:13:45
On the contrary,
:13:46
I suggest an
elderly gentlemen

:13:48
perhaps a touch of
gout in his right leg.

:13:55
Sir Ronald, I'm
delighted to see you.

:13:56
How do you do, Holmes?
:13:58
Let me take your
hat and stick.

:13:59
Oh thank you.
