A long chain, and yet every link rings true.
Well, I can't say that I was ever bored.
Well, now, let me think.
Well, Mr. Bell, one of the favorite fictional problems of your modern mystery writer is the so-called locked room story.
Quite correct, Mr. Bell, quite correct.
And next week, I'm going to tell you how, just ten years before the turn of the century, Holmes actually encountered such a problem and solved it.
I call the story Murder in the Locked Room.
I'm glad to see you.
Absolutely correct, Mr. Bell.
I can see that your powers of observation are improving through association with me.
Extremely odd title.
But a most accurate one, my dear chap, as you will see.
But first, I know that you're anxious for a word with our listeners.
Well, that strange affair took place many years ago.
Holmes and I had been spending several days at the seaside resort of Brighton late in July, but not for pleasure, as you might think.
We had been concerning ourselves with a most peculiar crime, and only that morning had successfully concluded the affair of the politician, the lighthouse, and the train cormorant.
With a few hours to waste before returning to Baker Street, I persuaded Holmes to join me, much against his will, for a stroll along the front by the sea.
You must admit, Holmes, that the first sea breezes are most delightful after the way that we've been cooped up these last few days.
I find them more so, Watson, if they were not quite so heavily laden with the odors of cheap peppermint and the sound of even cheaper music.
Oh, come, come, my dear fellow.
