The ninth tale from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. Rather a chilling story, claustrophobic and grisly. Enjoy!

The engineer is a complete idiot if you already have so many reservations and they were confirmed upon your investigation why would you alert them that you know that they are lying, it is as if you are daring them to do their worst. He should have told them the problem, collected his money and report it to the police upon returning to London.

I am a professional engineer and yes it all hangs together well enough, a weeping seal is a common enough problem in a hydraulic system and it would cause the issues described. My only question over it is that to my mind it's a very obvious thing to diagnose and it seems unlikely they would have the skill to be able to fix it themselves, but not be able to discover the issue in the first place

Bràndy is actually doubly distilled wine. It is not a alcohol that many people in America anymore. It's capabilities does what it is meant to do. It has a quick effect, sometimes jolting, yet it can have a calming effect afterwards. Bràndy and Cognac can be like a smelling salt to many, and acts quickly. nd

@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio Жыл бұрын

Brandy sales go up greatly at Christmas because of dousing the Christmas pudding in it and setting it alight. Apart from that it’s probably in the doldrums sales wise. Shame as I rather like it. I’m sure it’s as good a medicine as many others.

Is this channel run by Greg Wagland himself? A lot of comments suggest that but the channel is under a publishing companies name, which suggests otherwise. When I look up Magpie Audio, there are many audiobooks read by other actors but every audiobook on this channel is read by Greg Wagland. Then, I went to his website and it links to this KZfaq channel, which suggests that this channel isn't made by a fan of Wagland. Maybe its Wagland's manager or agent or something that runs this account and the website but the tone of the website feels too personal and lighthearted. I'm stumped! If this is Wagland, let me know!
