Dr. John H. Watson 1:48
My name is Watson, Dr. John H. Watson. It may be familiar to you, through my association over many years, that one of the most remarkable men I believe the world has ever known, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I want to tell you about one of our earliest adventures, the first time that we went out into the streets of London in active partnership. We were still youngish men. It was far back in the early 1880s. We had shared those famous rooms, number 221 B Baker Street, for only a few months. Watson, my dear fellow, you're just in time. In time for what, Holmes? Well, you've so often been good enough to express a genial interest in my singular profession. Now you'll be able to see me actually at work. Oh, I'm delighted, Holmes.
Dr. John H. Watson 2:45
It should be fascinating. Ah, but I must sit down by the fire. Juice chilly out, sir. Do, do, my dear fellow. Oh, by the way, Watson, why Turkish? Turkish? How do you mean? The bath. The bath you've just come from, my dear fellow. Why the relaxing and expensive Turkish rather than the invigorating homemade articles across the passenger? Oh, because I felt lazy and... But I haven't said a word about it. How the deuce did you know I'd had a Turkish bar? You're a deuce, Watson.
Deuce?
Dr. John H. Watson 3:16
It seems quite elementary, surely. Oh, no doubt, but you'll forgive me if I fail to see the release connection. You always do your bootstrapping the same way, Watson. However, on this occasion, you might even fasten with an elaborate double bow. Ah? And so, of course, you've had them off and someone else has tied them for you. Who, for example? The answer can only be your bootmaker or the boy at the Turkish bar. As your boots were only made in the middle here late last week, It's hardly likely to have been the bootmaker. So what remains but the bar, absurdly simple, isn't it? Oh, my soul, Holmes. You really are a stranger, Farrow. Ah, wait till you meet Milverton. He's stranger still. Milverton? Who's Milverton?
Dr. John H. Watson 3:58
Charles Augustus Milverton of Hampstead. In all probability, the most evil man in London, indeed. Sounds fascinating. I invited him for 6.30, so he's almost due. Oh, I shiver at the thought of it. But what's he do for a living, this strange caller of ours? Blackmail Watson. Huh? Yeah, he looks like Mr. Pickwick. But heaven help the man, or worse still, the woman, who's indiscreet enough to get into his power. And what have you to do with him? Well, I've had the honor recently to be consulted by a particularly illustrious lady. Who is she? Do I know her? Well, I expect you know her name. Lady Eva Brackwell, the most beautiful debutante of last season. Well, of course. Isn't she to be married in a fortnight to the Earl of Dover Court?
Dr. John H. Watson 4:42
Yes. It's all arranged. Unluckily for her, Milverton has managed to get hold of some imprudent letters, Watson. which she wrote some time ago to a penniless young fellow in the country. Only imprudent, mind you, but they'd be quite sufficient to break off the net. And you're commissioned to meet him? Yes, and make what terms I can. I think he's here, Watson. Will you let him in? Mr. Holmes, will you come in, please? This is Mr. Holmes. I take it you are... Charles Augustus Millman. How are you, Mr. Holmes? No, I prefer not to shake hands with you, Mr. Milberton.
