A pair of pince-nez. They were found in the dead man's right hand. There can be no question that he snatched them from the face of the assassin. May I see them, please? May I tell you anything, Holmes? Inspector, you have your notebook, of course. Please take it out and write as I dictate. Wanted. A woman of good address, attired like a lady. She has a remarkably thick nose. She has a puckered forehead, appearing expression, and probably rounded shoulders like George's mask. It's incredible. The great mind of my friend Sherlock Holmes never ceased to amaze me. My name is Watson, Dr. Watson, and I was privileged to share the adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
Now, let me locate the exact page. And I will tell you about the case of the Golden Parsnay. A moment, please.
I think that of all the cases which fill three massive volumes containing our work for the year 1894, the case which is the most conducive to a display of those peculiar powers which my friend Holmes was famous was that of the Golden Parsnay. Well, Holmes, here's Inspector Stanley Hopkins to see you.
Ah, Hopkins, come in, my dear sir. Evening, Mr. Holmes. It must be something important that has brought you out in such a gale. It is indeed, Mr. Holmes. Did you see anything of the... the Yoxley case in the latest editions? I've seen nothing later than the 15th century today. Let us hear about it. Some years ago, this country house, Yoxley Old Place, was taken by an elderly man named Professor Coram. He was an invalid, keeping to his bed half the time. He has the reputation down there of being a very learned man. He found it necessary about a year ago to engage a secretary. The first two that he tried were not successes, but the third, Mr Willoughby Smith, was a very young man straight from university.
He seemed to be just what his employer wanted. I've seen his testimonials. From the first, he was a decent, quiet, hard-working fellow. Nothing against him at all. And yet, this is the lad who has met his death this morning in the professor's study. His death? I take it you're going to tell us he's been murdered. The circumstances can point only to that. I see. Well, you'd better tell us a little more about the household to begin with. If you were to search all England, I don't suppose you'd find a household more self-contained. or free from outside influences. The professor was buried in his work. Young Smith knew nobody in the neighbourhood. And the two women had nothing to take them from the house, although the garden gate is only a hundred yards from the main London to Chatham Road.
Just a moment, these two women, who are they? Well, there's an elderly housekeeper, Mrs. Marker, and a maid, Susan Tarleton. I see. This Susan Tarleton was the only person who could say anything positive about the matter.
Between eleven and twelve. I was hanging some curtains in the upstairs front bedroom, sir.
Where was the professor at this time?
Oh, Professor Coram was still in bed when the weather's bad, he hardly ever gets up before midday.
