I know these moneylenders and their methods only too well.
If I could only stake things off until the derby, all would be well.
If your horse wins.
Well, if it doesn't... In any case, surely your bets on the race and your expectations from it would hold good, even if your creditors did seize your estate.
The horse will be part of my estate.
And my chief creditor happens to be the same rascally fellow, Sam Brewer.
My once was compelled to horsewhip on Newmarket Heath.
Do you suppose he would try to save me?
No, Dr. Watson.
If he got possession of a horse, he'd simply withdraw him from the race.
My bets would be void and my ruin would be complete.
Sir Robert, what did your sister die?
It has plagued her for years.
Has the doctor certified for that effect?
Then surely it is for a coroner to decide, not you.
I catch your meaning, Mr. Holmes.
But I assure you, any doctor would certify that her end had been in no doubt for months now.
But it occurred just too soon for you.
