Dr. Watson

Mr. Falkenby, why are you dressed as a Guy Fawkes dummy?

Well, it was James's idea.

He said that he was going to dress up too and that we were to go around the bonfire tonight and frighten people by appearing as live dummies.

But the last message he sent told me to come up here, that we'd play a practical joke on a couple of friends of his.

And did he provide you with the costume that you're wearing?

Yes, as a matter of fact, he did.

Have you searched the pockets for any weapons?

No, but I will.

All right, and while you're doing that, I'll examine this dark lantern.

How's your patient, Watson?

Well, I've given him some digitalis.

And now I'll get him some brandy.

I can't find anything in the pocket.

Here's the answer, my friends.

Look here.

Inside the lantern is a dagger.

Your cousin planted it there to substantiate the claim that you were trying to kill him.

Had his plans worked...

You would have been dead, Mr. Falkenberg, before you could have told us the truth.

Here, come back here, Mr. Stewart.
