How do you do, sir?
Sherlock Holmes, eh?
Took you long enough to decipher my message and get here, didn't it?
Your brother's a much faster worker, isn't he?
Oh, what makes you say that, Mr. Grutter?
Receive this telegram from him at 11 o'clock this morning.
Read it for yourself.
But I've been expecting you all day.
I imagine you know why I inserted that advertisement.
My advertisement was a piece of subtle bait...
The only person that could decipher the message would obviously be someone who knew the Baconian cipher.
You see, I'm convinced, as any sensible man should be, that the so-called Shakespearean plays were written by Sir Francis Bacon.
But I felt that it needed a clever man to prove the fact.
I was sure that anyone who was able to decipher my message was the man I needed.
And what did it take, Mr. Holmes, to do the job?
I'm a rich man.
Name your fee.
Oh, please, yes, sir.
Show the gentleman out, Doris.
