"The foreign secretary, Lord Redcliff." "Your Majesty, being inside of your confidence is the greatestjoy I've ever known." "Lord Redcliff, the fate of England is now in your hands." "Your confidence, being inside of Your Majesty is the greatest single joy I've ever known." "It's all right, Your Majesty." "I've got it." "I've got it." "All's well that ends well." "Shit." "Holy Jesus Christ!" "But it's cold outside." "I say, Holmes, what did you think about Bessie Bellwood?" "Who the devil's Bessie Bellwood?" "Who the devil is..." "She's the young music-hall singer, came round to see you this afternoon." "Said she was being blackmailed or some such thing." "Ah, yes." "Why?" "What did you think of her?" "Some kind of a crackpot, if you ask me." "Too trifling to bother with." "My sentiments exactly." "So, Watson, what do you make of all this stolen-document business?" "Well, it must be pretty important indeed if the queen contacts you personally." "Her Majesty believes that unless the Redcliff document is back in our hands by Thursday, this country will be involved in a devastating war." "Holmes!" "Her Majesty suspects the French." "Now, you know my thinking, Watson." "How would you proceed?" " 7:45 to Paris." " Bravo." "But how can you leave the country..." "Without tipping off every murderer and petty thief in England the moment we set foot on that train?" "Quite simple." "While Sherlock is gone, he will pass on one or two of his less-urgent assignments to his brother Sigerson." "Holmes, you never told me you had a brother Sigerson." "I never told you I had a brother Mycroft until the occasion arose." "But who is the fellow?" "Sigerson is my younger brother, and he's spent the past 35 years getting hopelessly twisted in my shadow." " Jealous?" " Something of the sort." " Love and hate?" " Hate and dislike." "Lovely flowers!" "Only a copper." " How much did he give you?" " Five pounds." "Strange fellows." "I don't know why we're going through all this bother." "If that document is so bloody important, why aren't you handling this case yourself?" "It all revolves around a woman, and a woman who must fall very much in love before she's capable of trusting anyone." "Could I trouble you for a light?" "Thank you so much." "Have you seen Sigerson about this?" "Seeing me in person is upsetting to him." "Well, I assume you've selected a messenger to present Sigerson with the essential information." "Even as we speak, Watson, even as we speak." "One Orville Stanley Sacker, by name." "He's the only man I've ever met who has a photographic sense of hearing." "My word!" " Are you Mr S, for Sigerson, Holmes?" " Perhaps." "Do you have a brother whose name is Sherlock?" "I do not." " You do have a brother?" " I do." "Might I inquire as to his first name?" "Sheer Luck." "I see." "Well, your brother Sheer Luck sent me round with an urgent request and this five-pound note - are you interested?" "You can tell my brother to take his five-pound note and..." "And may I say that I've been a great admirer of yours for many years, especially your handling of the case of three testicles." "You've studied the three testicles?" "Orville Stanley Sacker." "Sergeant." "Records Bureau, Scotland Yard." "A pleasure, Mr Holmes." "Come in, Orville." "I was just making tea." "Hop on that bicycle seat, would you?" "I won't be a minute." "Come on, come on." "We haven't got all night." "All right, start pedaling." "Keep a steady pace." "Do you think you could pump a little faster?" "Certainly." "I'm sorry." "I wonder if I could..." "Pedal, pedal!" "For God's sake, man!" "Don'tjust stop in the middle like that." "What do you think this is?" "A toy shop?" "Sucker." "Now, then, what's this urgent request?" "Due to ill health, your brother is taking a vacation in the country." "Not long - two or three days - but he would appreciate..." "Oh, sit down, won't you?" "Thank you." " Some tea?" " Yes, thank you very much." "Pray continue." "Due to ill health, your brother is taking a vacation in the country." "Not long - two or three days - but he would appreciate..." "Some milk?" " Just a drop." "Ta." " You were saying?" "Due to ill health, your brother is taking a vacation in the country." "Not long - two or three days - but he would appreciate..." " Sugar?" " Just one, please." "Yes, yes, go on." "Due to ill health, your brother is taking a vacation in the country." "Not long - two or three days - but he would appreciate... he would appreciate... if you would handle one of his most urgent cases during the time of his absence." " I see." " All fees going to you, of course." "His way of saying he's stuck." "Anything else?" "He's taken the liberty of sending round a Miss Bessie Bellwood of Chislehurst to whom he hopes you might be of some service." " Bessie Bellwood?" " Yes." " Are you sure the name is Bessie Bellwood?" " Positive." "I see." "Well, I'm very busy just now, but this case might present one or two points of interest." "At any rate, we shall know presently, for unless I'm very much mistaken, the young lady's dainty hand is just about to knock upon my... door." "How did you..." "Come in, Miss Bessie Bellwood of Chislehurst." "There's a young lady downstairs to see you, my dear." "Shall I show her up?" "Show her up!" "Show her up!" "And stop tippy-toeing around out there." "Walk like a man, for God's sake." " Perhaps I'd better..." " Sit down." "I find your presence comforting." "How do you do?" "My name is Bessie Bellwood." "Liar!" "You don't fool around, do you?" "How do you know that I'm not Bessie Bellwood?" "?" "There's no harm in taking a kiss" "?" "It's never missed" "?" "If I'd known that love was like this" "?" "Should I have kissed?" "?" "Love's a game, if you are clever, play your cards and go" "?" "Love with me will last forever, that is all I know" "?" "Chorus, but you you don't love as I" "All right!" "Hello." "? "Piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, pooh," cried the farmer's daughter, Phyllis" "?" "Piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, pig" " I don't think I know that one." " Pity." "The next time you impersonate a music-hall singer who's been dead for 12-and-a-half years, I suggest you learn her full repertoire." "Won't you come in, Miss Liar?" "Thank you." "My, what a charming flat." " This is Orville Slacker." " Sacker." "Sacker." "Sorry." "Orville, may I present Miss Liar." " How do you do?" "Pleased to meet you." " Merci bien." " Won't you sit down?" " No, thanks." "My, your brother Sherlock certainly is a character." "My brother is a very insecure man." "Now, then, precisely what is it that you want of me?" "Well, I have this friend..." "Liar!" "I'm being blackmailed." " May I offer you some tea?" " No, thanks." "Exactly who and what are you?" "My name is Jenny Hill and I'm simultaneously funny and sad." "How interesting." "Do you have any idea who's blackmailing you?" " Eduardo Gambetti." " Gambetti." " Oh, milk or sugar?" " Oh, no, thank you." "Eduardo Gambetti." "The name strikes a bell." "Ever heard of him, Sacker?" ""Not Gambetti again." "'Fraid so, sir."" ""Fat little fart fancies himself as an opera singer." " That's him, sir."" ""Pour us some tea, Sacker." "Yes, sir."" ""How does he do it, Grierson?"" ""Pays the highest prices for spicy letters, sir." "Everything in the market goes to Gambetti."" ""The swine."" ""Swine he may be, sir, but he certainly is the cleverest of all the blackmailers."" "I'm not sure." "Whatjust happened?" "I'll explain it to you later." "The swine wants money from you in return for what?" "Mr Gambetti promised not to show my fiancé a-a-a foolish letter" "I wrote to a silly young man I met in the country." " What was in the letter?" " Nothing." "It was just a frivolous, innocent little note." " What was in the letter, Miss Hill?" " Call me Jenny." "What was in the letter, Miss Hill?" "By the way, do you mind if I call you Sigi?" "Sigerson seems so formal." "What was in the letter?" "I said I wanted to touch his winkie." "I see." " Goodbye." " His what?" "Nothing." "I'll explain it later." "You're leaving?" "Yes." "I have to be at the theatre by ten." "I hope you won't think too unkindly of me, but everything I've told you just now has been a lie." "I've just been rehearsing some new material for my act." " I see." "Just a few laughs, eh?" " Yes, that's the idea." "I was walking along and then suddenly I saw your winkie on the door..." "I mean, suddenly I saw your shingle on the door, and I said to myself, "Why not?"" ""If I'm lucky, I mightjust get a fresh, unsuspecting audience."" "Well, you were very lucky indeed, then, weren't you?" "Yes." "Today has..." "I'm..." "Well, what can I say?" "You've been so very kind, a little gullible, perhaps, but I'm sorry if I took advantage of you." "Don't feel badly." "I'm sure that God would prefer us to be a little too vulnerable than..."

" Is everything all right, Alicia, dear?" " Yes, Professor." "Fine, thank you." "I wonder if you'd do me a small favor?" "Anything, Professor, anything." "I wonder if you'd mind leaving by one of these doors." "I've got some official visitors coming." "I'd rather they didn't see you leaving." " Now, you don't mind, do you?" " No, sir." "Good lad." "Either door, Bruner." "The choice is yours." "Hi." "I'm working with Profe..." "Holy shit!" "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned." "It's the curse again, and I know you'll understand." "Of course, it's been a great trial to your patience, Father, but think of the burden that it's been to me." "Ever since that day when my hereditary tendencies finally burst out into the open, and I had this irrepressible desire to do something absolutely rotten every 24 minutes, well, it's been very painful to me, Father."

"Don't mind if I do." "Make some, would you?" "The water's just boiling." "What I don't understand is whether someone was trying to kill Jenny, or trying to kill Jenny because she was with you." "That, my boy, is much more to the point." " Hello?" " What?" "I didn't hear anything." "That doesn't mean that there wasn't anything to hear." "Don't run away, Jenny." "I assure you there is no cause for embarrassment." "Just put your hand back on the doorknob and walk in." "Telegram for you, my dear." "Only just arrived."

"let me see... radched, dechdar," "drechad, chaderd." "Hello." "Chaderd." "Unless I'm very much mistaken, "chaderd" is the Egyptian word meaning "to eat fat."" "Now we're getting somewhere." " Have you tried school code?" " What do you mean?" "Grammar-school code." "Count off every third word." "What?" "Do you think we're dealing with simpletons?" "All you'd get from that is, "Dressing room ten, theatre, Red Lion Street."" " Do you call this tea?" " No, I call it hot water." "I was just rinsing out the cup when you grabbed it." "May I have some tea, please?" "Certainly." "Come in." "How good of you to come." "May I pour you some tea?" "Yes, thank you." "Milk and two sugars?" "Yes." "Thank you." "Gentlemen, once more, please, from the letter A." "Sit down, won't you?" "Thank you." "Thank you." "May I ask what made you change your mind about seeing me?" "Yes, you may." "What made you change your mind about seeing me?" "I'll tell you something, if you had a stronger chin, you'd be a pretty good-Iooker." "What do you think about that?" "And I'll tell you something." "You're a frightened little girl who for some twisted reason needs to be sexually stimulated before she'll trust anyone." "What do you think about that?"

"Well, I'm certainly not going to sit here and deny that... that I'm alarmed by what's happening to my father." " Biscuit?" " No, thank you." "What is happening to your father?" "Ever since I stole that document from his wall safe," " Yes..." " I..." "He hasn't been the same man." "I mean, he'll spend an hour just staring off into space." "I had no idea that little piece of paper was so important." "I swear I didn't." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, Jenny." "I didn't mean..." " What are you doing?" " What?" "What are you taking your hand away for?" "I wasn't trying to..." "I didn't mean to..." "I was only trying to make a point." " I'm sorry if I..." " No, no." "That's all right." "Well, perhaps we'd better call it a day." "Could I ask you just one more question?" "Don't you even want to know... about my father?" "Yes." "Please." "Who is he?" "I can't tell you that!" "You can't tell me that?" "That's what you've got to tell me." "I can't." "Please don't ask me that." "Jenny, please, for once in your life, trust someone." "I'm trying." "I really am trying." "It's very difficult." "Well, let me help you." "I will." "I will." " You'll feel better afterwards, I promise." " I know I will." "And you will too." " Good." " I promise." " Then who is he?" " Don't ask." "Jenny," "Who is your father?" " He..." " Good." "...is..." " Good." "Good, good, good." " Now?" " Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "I can't!" "I..." "No!" "He is the... foreign secretary for Great Britain." "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "Oh, Jenny!" "Perhaps now we can get to the bottom of things." "I think so." "Gentlemen, the Redcliff document will be in my hands at approximately six minutes past ten o'clock this evening." "Now, then, what am I bid?" "Russia bids 5,000." "Russia bids 5,000 pounds." "Rubles." "Rubles?" "All right." "Now, then, let's see." "There are eight rubles to the pound." "So we simply divide 5,000 by eight." "Eight into 50 goes six." "Guests." "Six eights are 48, carry the two." "Bring down the zero." "Eight into 20 goes twice." "Eight, 16, four over." "We can carry over the four, bring down the zero." "Eight into 40 goes five times." "Spit that out." "Spit it out or go to your room." "Russia bids 625 pounds." "Good thing I'm a math professor." "7,000." "7,000 rubles." " French francs." " French francs?" "Of course." "Quick, get the daily paper." "France bids 7,000 French francs." "What's the franc going for today?" " The franc is 11.18." " The franc is 11.18 to the pound." "So I simply put down 11.18." " Oh, Christ, how do you do this?" " Well, you put down 11.18." "Oh, sure, I wouldn't know even to put down the 11.18." " I'm asking whether you multiply or divide." " Divide." " Sure?" " Yes." "I'll kill you if you screw this up." "Now, then, we simply divide 11.18 into 7,000." " What do I do with the decimal point?" " You move it two places to the right." "You mean I divide 1118 into 7,000?" " 700,000." " What?" "You add two zeros to the 7,000 to make up for moving the decimal point two places to the right." "Well, what the hell did we move the decimal point for in the first place?" "To make it easier." "All right." "The bidding will start at 5,000 pounds." " 5,000." " 8,000." " Ten." " 12,000." " 15." " 17." " 20. 24." " 29." "30." "Mr Holmes to see Lord Redcliff." "I sent a wire." "Yes, sir." "His Lordship will be with you presently." "Mr Holmes?" "Lord Redcliff, I presume?" "I can't tell you how glad I am to see you." "How very nice of you to say." "Tell me, did you... did you find out anything?" "Many things." "Many things." "Yes, I know, but, I mean, about..." "Did you..." " You are Mr Holmes, aren't you?" " Yes, that's right." "Yes." " Mr Sherlock Holmes?" " No." "I am his brother Sigerson." " Sigerson?" " Yes." "As I am sure you are aware, my brother comes to me for help on more difficult cases." "What is it you wish of me, Mr Holmes?" "I mean, I am an extremely busy man." "No more busy than I, I assure you." "In that case, let's come to the point." "The point is, Lord Redcliff, that your daughter has told me everything." "My daughter?" "But how could you possibly know my daughter?" "I have saved her life upon two separate occasions." "And would you be good enough to describe her to me?" "She has magnificent red hair, about 27 years of age," "I should say five feet, three-and-a-half inches tall, and... extraordinarily beautiful." "Really?" "Would you please leave my house, sir?" "I don't understand." "What have I said?" "Mr Holmes, or whoever you are," "my daugnter has blonde hair, a little under five feet, and she's 12 years old." "Daddy, Daddy." "If it isn't the truth, I will never see you or speak to you again." "Sorry." "Lord Redcliff is my fiancé." "I am governess to his children." "I thought he only wanted me for their sake, but after his wife died," "I realized he really does love me." "We were to be married this Friday afternoon." "How could you have stolen that document from him?" "I didn't know what was in it." "I still don't." "So you stole the document and gave it to Gambetti?" "Yes." " And he won't give you back your love letter?" " No." "He gave it back when I gave him the document." "Then what in God's name do you want from me?" "I want you to steal the document back from Gambetti." "You..." "Sorry." "Where would you like us to drop you off?" " He's going to resign as foreign secretary." " Where would you like us to drop you off?" "I'm not proud of what I did." "You've just told me a magnificent success story." "Overlooking that you're a liar, a thief, a traitor and a whore," " I don't see what should be bothering you." " You..." "Please help me." "Do you know where Gambetti lives?" "I've been rehearsing in his house for three weeks." "Lord Redcliff arranged for me to be in Mr Gambetti's opera company." "Sacker, we're going to need a floor plan of Gambetti's house." "Can you dig one up?" " Well..." " I have one in my purse." "Yes, I can." "Hurry up!" "For God's sake, what are you doing back there?" "I'm sorry." "Can I help you?" " How did you get there?" " Through the gate." " Are you trying to get us killed?" " No..." "Never mind!" "There's no time to argue." "Help me down." "Do you hear music?" " Must be a party." " Might be a little sticky." "Keep these ready." "I'll show you how simple this is when you know what you're doing." "Vinceno di Stefano!" "Quick." "Behind the curtains." "Dio." "Dammi la luce." "Le donne non mi voglion baciare." "La donna è mobile." "Ah, ma questo è terribile." "La voglio bene con tutto il mio cuore, ma... i suoi occhi bellissimi non vedono questo dolore mio."

"Fa presto." "Fa presto." "Fa presto, perché non voglio scomparire." "Stupido." "Fa presto, perché non voglio scomparire." "Oh, that's a beauty." "Peekaboo, professore." "Signor Gambetti." "I love your hat, I love your face, I love your nose." " By the way, where you keep your wallet?" " Here." "Oh, please, please, come in my house." "I love this guy." "There's your money." "Scusi." "Stop!" "Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nove..." " Feel free to count it!" " Don't touch the money." " You've got a lovely vase." " And you got a lovely face." "Uno, due, tre, quattro, cinque, sei, sette, otto, nove..." "Hey, we have a nice time, huh?" "What a nice panon!" "Boom!" "Please, make yourself comfortable." "My house, your house." "Everybody here." "OK!" "50,000 pounds." "Scusa." "You know, Professor Moriarty, your mamma, she raise a nice boy." " Now may I please have the document?" " You crazy?" "I don't keep the document in the house." "Ma tu sei pao." "What did you say?" "Professore, professore." "Don't you understand?" "You very big shot." "If I give you the document tonight, you can..." "If I give you the document tonight, you gonna send a lot of big boys over here, work for you." "They come over here, they crack my head." "That's not nice." "Then they take back all the money before I got a chance to send home to my mamma." "No, no, no, no." "No, I think it's better for my health if I give you the document in public." " In public?" " Si." "How the hell are you gonna give it to me in public?" "In the opera." " What opera?" " It..." "That's not fair." "That's not fair!" " Si." "In the opera." " What opera?" " Italian."
