  • This is an excellent performance. Without overplaying at all, the reader makes Milverton thoroughly loathsome and malign. So well done.

  • Wait why are some of these scenes so funny. I literally laughed out loud at their argument that Watson was going to come with him to burgle lol. As well as the scene with Leatrade, he knows what’s up 😂 and Holmes quickly burning everything, very satisfying.

  • "Well, I don't like it. But I suppose it must be." said I, "When do we start?" "You are not coming!" "Then you are not going." said I, "I give you my word of honor, and I never broke it in my life, that I will take a cab straight to the police station and give you away unless you allow me to share this adventure with you." Dr Watson with the friendship win of all time!!

Of course, there are changes, but the similarities are very strong, to those who know the books. A marvelous performance, Mr. Wagland, as always.

  • Christie PLAGIARIZED this into *'The Veiled Lady'* She changed the end but the story is essentially the same. Even to Poirot and Hastings burgaling the house to obtain the letter. AND..... Poirot, LIKE his 'British twin detective, insisting that he might make a great criminal, if he was not of moral disposition. For someone who HATED the 'conceited creep' she referred to Poirot as, agatha christie had NO place to call anyone else CONCEITED; given her ARROGANCE in committing such obvious thievery. HOW was this NOT discovered by AC Doyle's estate?!

    @Leo-vq1mz@Leo-vq1mz3 жыл бұрын

  • So let me get this straight; Watson elected to publicly publish an account of how they willingly chose to break and enter with the intent to burgle. At which point their mark actually entered the room they were in with Watson fully intending to subdue him with his coat and "leave the rest to Holmes". However, miraculously a mysterious woman shows up unexpectedly and shoots him dead, only to then vanish without a trace (despite the large household). The only evidence of her presence winds up in the fire, but Watson makes sure to give a tantalizing but unverifiable hint as to who she might be (while also carefully detailing her extremely sympathetic sob story). The whole thing feels like a very shonky alibi. I'd be checking both their hands for gunpowder residue and Watson's old coat for gunshot holes. PS - I'd also point about the early parts of the account Watson wrote where he states a gentleman stands by his word once given, how there are some instances where the moral choice is separate from the legal choice, and how he'd always support Holmes and be by his side in these sorts of events.

    • Dear Cathy, Your confusion is understandable. Sir A.C. Doyle did alter his delivery in this tale. If you listen again to the description of the woman who shoots the evil blackmailer, and then listen to the every end where Holmes and Watson are looking at the photo in the shop window you will make the connection. She remains unnamed in the frequent British deference to the misdeeds of royalty.
