Dr. John Watson

Fidgeting?

I'm expecting a guest.

I thought I heard him just now.

The front door.

Oh, not quite.

You see, I... Come in.

Dr. Watson, how are you, old rascal?

Gregory, my boy.

It's great to see you again.

Mr. Bartell, meet my friend, Mr. Gregory Hood.

Yes, Mr. Bartell, this is the Gregory Hood.

Yes, and unlike my old friend Holmes, you pretend to know very little about criminals and crime, and yet you're one of America's outstanding criminologists.

Yes, you learn that Gregory is a little too fast for everybody.

But, Mr. Bartell, I'm sure you'll get to know Mr. Hood a good deal better.

You see, as I've told you, I've always wanted to take a trip back to England, and now I have a chance to do so.

Oh, I shall be back in the fall.

But meanwhile, I've asked Mr. Gregory Hood to get together with you at this time every week and tell you some of his experiences.

Mr. Hood, as you know, has been involved in many famous cases dealing in crime.

His importing business and his hobby criminology are a strange combination.

I learned that he keeps a diary of these cases.
