Well, now, let me see...
Pleased to remember the 5th of November.
Hit him in the eye.
Yes, not unlike it, my boy.
Well, now that I've told you something about the customs of Guy Fawkes Day, I'll get on with my story.
It began just before lunch, I remember, on November the 5th, 1899.
The day was foggy and cold, and Holmes and I seated each side of a blazing fire in our Baker Street rooms.
From outside we could hear the sound of voices laughing and singing.
Suddenly Holmes rose and crossed to the window, opened it and looked out.
Then he turned to me and spoke.
Children are having a great time, Watson, aren't they?
Yes, it cost me a shilling worth of pennies to walk here this morning.
Has it occurred to you, Watson, that the Gunpowder Plot offers very promising material to the speculative mind?
In what way, Holmes?
I say it's confoundedly chilly in here.
Don't you think you might shut that window?
As I was saying, the Gunpowder Plot offers very promising material to the speculative mind.
I've made something of a study of the historical records of the case.
