:04:01
and we were returning
from Yorkshire...
:04:04
where Holmes had solved
the baffling murder...
:04:06
of Admiral Abernetti.
:04:09
You may recall that he broke
the murderer's alibi...
:04:12
by measuring the depth
to which the parsley...
:04:15
had sunk in the butter
on a hot day.
:04:37
l wish you'd give me
a bit more warning...
:04:40
when you come home unexpected.
:04:42
l'd have roasted a goose,
had a few flowers for you.
:04:45
My dear Mrs. Hudson...
:04:47
criminals are as
unpredictable as head colds.
:04:50
You never quite know when
you're going to catch one.
:04:52
l'll unpack your bags.
:04:53
Here's an advance copy
of ''Strand Magazine.''
:04:56
They've printed
''The Red-headed League.''
:04:58
Very impressive.
:05:00
Would you like to see
how l've treated it?
:05:01
l can hardly wait.
l'm sure l shall find out...
:05:03
all sorts
of fascinating things...
:05:05
about the case
that l never knew before.
:05:07
Just what do you mean by that?
:05:09
Oh, come now, Watson.
:05:10
You must admit you have
a tendency to overromanticize.
:05:12
You've taken my simple
exercises in logic...
:05:15
and embellished them,
embroidered them...
:05:18
exaggerated them.
:05:19
l deny the accusation.
:05:20
You've described me as 6'4''...
:05:21
whereas l am barely 6'1''.
:05:24
A bit of poetic license.
:05:26
You've saddled me with
this improbable costume...
:05:27
which the public
now expects me to wear.
:05:29
That is not my doing.
Blame it on the illustrator.
:05:31
Made me out to be
a violin virtuoso.
:05:34
There's an invitation...
:05:35
from the Liverpool Symphony
to appear as soloist...
:05:37
in ''The Mendelssohn Concerto.''
:05:38
Really?
:05:39
The fact is, l could
barely hold my own...
:05:41
in the pit orchestra
of a second-rate music hall.
:05:44
You're much too modest.
:05:46
You have given the reader
the distinct impression...
:05:48
that l'm a misogynist.
:05:50
Actually,
l don't dislike women.
:05:52
l merely distrust them.
:05:55
The twinkle in the eye
and the arsenic in the soup.
:05:58
lt's those little touches
that make you colorful.
