:14:00
I don't think you know
Dr. Watson, do you?

:14:02
Watson, this is
Ronald Ramsgate,

:14:03
Constable of
the town London

:14:05
where all he has to do
:14:07
is to keep his eyes
on the crowned jewels.

:14:08
How do you do, sir?
:14:09
Holmes has often spoken
of you, Dr. Watson.

:14:11
You haven't
dropped in like this

:14:12
for a long time,
Sir Ronald.

:14:14
Won't you sit down
and have a cup of tea.

:14:15
Thank you no, no.
:14:15
I've come to consult you
:14:17
on a rather
peculiar matter.

:14:19
Now just have
a look at that.

:14:21
Doesn't it strike you
that the handwriting is...

:14:23
Yes, yes.
:14:24
That's because it's
written with a left hand.

:14:27
Star of Delhi will never
reach the Tower of London.

:14:30
Huh.
:14:32
Curious,
:14:33
and anonymous.
:14:34
And what is the
star of Delhi?

:14:36
Probably the largest
emerald in the worid,

:14:38
a gift to her majesty
from the Maharajah Rapur.

:14:40
Oh, I shouldn't worry
about this, Sir Ronald.

:14:42
It's a typical
crank letter

:14:44
besides no
professional thief

:14:46
would risk stealing
so famous an emerald.

:14:47
You can't break it up.
:14:49
He certainly couldn't
sell it as it is.

:14:51
Perhaps not but in
my position of trust

:14:52
I can't afford to
take any chances.

:14:54
I wonder whether you
could possibly manage

:14:55
to be on hand when
the jewel is delivered.

:14:57
Now when will that be?
:14:59
This weekend.
:15:00
It's coming on the
Cruiser Invincible.

:15:01
Oh, Sir Ronald, even
though I'm convinced

:15:04
that the threat
means nothing

:15:05
and that a
routine police guard

:15:07
would be quite adequate,
:15:08
you can depend on me.
:15:09
Thank you.
:15:11
Now I feel sure the
jewel will be safe.

:15:12
Little enough to do
for you, Sir Ronald.

:15:23
Excuse me.
:15:32
I don't know what
you must think of me

:15:34
but I'm sure I
was followed here.

:15:36
You are Miss Brandon?
:15:37
Yes.
:15:38
I'm Sherlock Holmes.
:15:39
Yes, I know.
:15:41
Let me introduce you to
my associate, Dr. Watson.

:15:42
How do you do?
:15:44
Sir Ronald Ramsgate.
:15:45
Mr. Holmes, I, I...
:15:46
Well, I've got
what I wanted,

:15:47
so I think I'll
be going along.

:15:49
Good day, Miss Brandon.
:15:50
Goodbye doctor.
:15:51
Goodbye, Sir Ronald.
:15:52
Your hat and
stick Sir Ronald

:15:53
Thank you.
:15:55
I'm depending on you.
:15:56
I'll not fail you.
:15:57
I'm sure of it.
:15:58
Goodbye, sir.
:15:59
Goodbye.
