Dr. Watson

I just wound this watch one turn, and then it was fully wound.

That provides us with a time schedule for our... Come on.

We'll send a servant for the police, and while they're on the way, if you'll call everyone together, I should like to put a few more questions to this family.

Before the police arrive, I'd like to hear your statements again very carefully, if you don't mind.

Mr. Edmund Lovelace, what were your exact movements tonight?

I left here shortly before ten.

From ten o'clock until the time I came to Baker Street, I was with my client.

His name and address, please.

Derek Waterlow, 59 Onslow Square, South Kensington.

Thank you.

Make a note of these, Willie Watson.

You, Miss Harley, and you, Mr. Randolph Lovelace.

You went to the theater together.

Can any independent witness testify as to your movements?

What time did you leave this house?

Well, it was about a quarter to eight, wasn't it, Alice?

I see.

And what time did you arrive back at this house?

Just a few minutes before midnight.

I remember the grandfather clock in the hall striking just as we went into the drawing room.
