E como sempre, se você gostou do podcast, por favor, spread the word.
01:19
sharing with friends and family really does help thank you for joining us this evening now it's time to relax let your body fall into a comfortable position in your bed and drift gently into a state of total relaxation with tonight's story the five orange pips Quando eu vejo minhas notas e recordas dos casas de Sherlock Holmes entre os anos 82 e 90, eu me enfrento por tantos que apresentam estranhos e interessante features que não é fácil de saber o que a escolha e o que a escolha.
02:05
Algunos, por exemplo, já ganham publicidade através dos papéis, e outros não oferecem a field para as peculiaridades que meu amigo possuía de tão alto nível, e que é o objeto desses papéis para ilustrar.
02:20
Some, too, have baffled his analytical skill, and would be, as narratives, beginnings without an ending, while others have been but partially cleared up and have their explanations founded rather upon conjecture and surmise than on that absolute logical proof which was so dear to him.
02:38
There is, however, one of these last, which was so remarkable in its details, and so startling in its results that I am tempted to give some account of it, in spite of the fact that there are points in connection with it, which never have been, and probably never will be, entirely cleared up. The year 87 furnished us with a long series of cases of greater or less interest, of which I retain the records.
03:07
Among my headings under this one twelve months, I find an account of the adventure of the Paradol chamber, of the amateur mendicant society, who held a luxurious club in the lower vault of a furniture warehouse, of the facts connected with the loss of the British bark Sophie Anderson, of the singular adventures of the Grice Pattersons in the island of Ufa, and finally of the Camberwell poisoning case.
03:35
In the latter, as may be remembered, Sherlock Holmes was able, by winding up the dead man's watch, to prove that it had been wound up two hours before, and that therefore the deceased had gone to bed within that time, a deduction which was of the greatest importance in clearing up the case.
03:54
All these I may sketch out at some future date, but none of them present such singular features as the strange train of circumstances which I have now taken up my pen to describe.
04:07
It was in the latter days of September, and the equinoctial gales had set in with exceptional violence. All day, the wind had screamed and the rain had beaten against the windows, So that even here, in the heart of great hand-made London, we were forced to raise our minds for the instant from the routine of life, and to recognise the presence of those great elemental forces which shriek at mankind through the bars of his civilisation, like untamed beasts in a cage.
04:40
As evening drew in, the storm grew higher and louder, and the wind cried and sobbed like a child in the chimney.
04:48
Sherlock Holmes sat moodily at one side of the fireplace, cross-indexing his records of crime, while I at the other was deep in one of Clark Russell's fine sea stories until the howl of the gale from without seemed to blend with the text and the splash of the rain to lengthen out into the long swash of the sea waves. My wife was on a visit to her mother's and for a few days I was a dweller once more in my old quarters at Baker Street.
05:17
''Why?'' said I, glancing up at my companion. ''That was surely the bell.
05:22
Who could come tonight? Some friend of yours, perhaps?'' ''Except yourself, I have none,'' he answered. ''I do not encourage visitors.'' ''A client, then?'' Se so, isso é um caso de ser um caso. Nada mais poderia trazer um homem em um dia e em um dia, mas eu entendo que é mais likely que seja um cronê de um landlado.
05:56
Sherlock Holmes foi errado em sua conjeção, por que havia um passo no passageiro e um tapo no porta. Ele abriu-se a longa mão para tirar o lampo de himself, e para o quarto de uma caminhada em que um novo homem deve se sentar.
06:13
Come in, said he.
06:18
The man who entered was young, some two and twenty at the outside, well-groomed and trimly clad, with something of refinement and delicacy in his bearing. The streaming umbrella which he held in his hand and his long shining waterproof told of the fierce weather through which he had come.
06:38
Ele olhou sobre ele anxiocamente na luz da luz, e eu consegui ver que o face estava pale e os olhos heavy, como aqueles de um homem que é weighed down com grande ansiedade. Eu vou te agradecer, ele disse, levantando o pince-nez para os olhos.
06:57
Eu acredito que eu não estou intrudendo. Eu fear que eu tenho trazido algum traço de chuva e de chuva de chuva em sua casa.
07:06
Give me your coat and umbrella, said Holmes. They may rest here on the hook and will be dry presently. You have come up from the southwest, I see.
07:18
Yes, from Horsham.
07:23
That clay and chalk mixture which I see upon your toe caps is quite distinctive.
07:31
I have come for advice.
07:35
That is easily got.
07:40
And help.
07:44
That is not always so easy.
07:49
I have heard of you, Mr. Holmes. I heard from Major Prendergast how you saved him in the Tankerville Club scandal.
07:58
Ah, of course, he was wrongfully accused of cheating at cards.
08:04
He said that you could solve anything.
08:10
He said too much.
08:14
That you are never beaten.
08:19
I have been beaten four times. Three times by men and once by a woman.
08:27
But what is that compared with the number of your successes?
08:33
It is true that I have been generally successful.
08:39
Then you may be so with me.
08:44
I beg that you will draw your chair up to the fire and favour me with some details as to your case.
08:52
It is no ordinary one.
08:57
None of those which come to me are. I am the last court of appeal.
09:05
E yet I question, sir, whether, in all your experience, you have ever listened to a more mysterious and inexplicable chain of events than those which have happened in my own family.
09:20
You fill me with interest, said Holmes.
09:23
Pray give us the essential facts from the commencement, and I can afterwards question you as to those details which seem to me to be most important.
09:34
O jovem puxou o chão e puxou o chão para o bairro. Meu nome, disse ele, é John Openshaw, mas meus meus affairs têm, como eu posso entender, muito a fazer com esse negócio. É um fato hereditário, então, para dar uma ideia do fato, eu vou voltar para o começo do affair.
10:00
You must know that my grandfather had two sons, my uncle Elias and my father Joseph.
10:06
My father had a small factory at Coventry, which he enlarged at the time of the invention of bicycling.
10:12
He was a patentee of the Open Shore Unbreakable Tire, and his business met with such success that he was able to sell it and to retire upon a handsome competence.
10:25
My uncle Elias emigrated to America when he was a young man and became a planter in Florida, where he was reported to have done very well.
10:34
At the time of the war, he fought in Jackson's army and afterwards under Hood, where he rose to be a colonel.
10:41
Quando Lee levou os almas, meu irmão voltou para a plantação, onde ele permaneceu por três ou quatro anos. Em 1869 ou 1870, ele voltou para a Europa e levou uma pequena estate em Sussex, near Horsham.
10:56
Ele tinha feito uma grande fortuna em os estates, e o motivo dele foi aversão para os negros, e o deslizamento da república em extender a franchise para os negros. Ele era um homem singular, forte e bem-temperado. Muito aflado quando ele era angry, e de uma mais retiração de disposição.
11:17
Durante todos os anos que ele viveu em Horsham, eu não me lembro se sete na cidade.
11:22
Ele tinha um jardim e dois ou três filhos em casa, e lá ele levava o exercício, mas, por vezes, por vezes, ele nunca deixava de casa. Ele drank um monte de brandy e smoked muito, mas ele não se vê no sociedade e não queria nem amigos, nem mesmo o próprio irmão.
11:42
Ele não me importava, em fato, ele me importava. Por isso, quando ele me viu primeiro, eu era um jovem de 12 ou so.
11:50
Isso seria em 1878, depois que ele tinha 8 ou 9 anos em Inglaterra. Ele pediu meu pai para me viver com ele, e ele era muito gentil para mim em seu jeito.
12:01
Quando ele era sober, ele costumava de me jogar backgammon e drafts com ele, e ele fazia me representante com os servidores e com os tradespeople, para que, quando eu era 16, eu era bastante master da casa. Eu kepto todos os keys, e podia ir onde eu gostava e fazer o que eu gostava, só que eu não me desculpe em seu privacê. There was one singular exception, however, for he had a single room, a lumber room up among the attics, which was invariably locked, and which he would never permit either me or anyone else to enter.
12:35
With a boy's curiosity, I have peeped through the keyhole, but I was never able to see more than such a collection of old trunks and bundles, as would be expected in such a room.
12:48
Um dia, em março de 1883, uma letra com a foreign stampa lay na mesa em frente do colonel. Não era uma coisa comum para ele receber letras, porque os bílhos eram todos pagados em dinheiro e ele não tinha amigos de qualquer forma. ''From India,'' disse ele, as ele levou ele. ''Pondicherry postmark. O que isso pode ser?'' Opening it hurriedly, out there jumped five little dried orange pips, which patted down upon his plate.
13:17
I began to laugh at this, but the laugh was struck from my lips at the sight of his face.
13:23
His lip had fallen, his eyes were protruding, his skin the colour of putty, and he glared at the envelope which he still held in his trembling hand. He shrieked, and then, my God, my God, my sins have overtaken me. What is it, uncle? I cried.
13:45
''Death!'' said he, and rising from the table, he retired to his room, leaving me palpitating with horror.
13:52
I took up the envelope and saw scrawled in red ink upon the inner flap, just above the gum, the letter K three times repeated.
14:00
There was nothing else save the five dried pips.
14:04
What could be the reason of his overpowering terror?'' I left the breakfast table, and as I ascended the stair I met him coming down with an old rusty key, which must have belonged to the attic in one hand, and a small brass box like a cash box in the other. They may do what they like, but I'll checkmate them still, said he with an oath. Tell Mary that I shall want a fire in my room today and send down to Fordham, the Horsham lawyer.
14:35
I did as he ordered and when the lawyer arrived I was asked to step up to the room. The fire was burning brightly and in the grate there was a mass of black fluffy ashes as of burnt paper while the brass box stood open and empty beside it.
14:50
As I glanced at the box I noticed with a start that upon the lid was printed the treble K which I had read in the morning upon the envelope.
15:01
I wish you, John, said my uncle, to witness my will.
15:05
I leave my estate, with all its advantages and all its disadvantages, to my brother, your father, whence it will, no doubt, descend to you.
15:15
If you can enjoy it in peace, well and good, if you find you cannot, take my advice, my boy, and leave it to your deadliest enemy.
15:23
I am sorry to give you such a two-edged thing, but I can't say what turn things are going to take. Kindly sign the paper where Mr Fordham shows you, I signed the paper as directed and the lawyer took it away with him. The singular incident made, as you may think, O meu irmão ficou com a maior impressão sobre mim, e eu pondo sobre isso e me tornou em cada vez em minha mente, sem ser capaz de fazer nada disso. Mas eu não consegui sentir o sentimento de medo que tinha deixado, mas a sensação cresceu menos forte, e as semanas passaram e nada aconteceu para disturbá-se a usual routine de nossas vidas.
16:01
Eu consegui ver uma mudança em meu irmão, mas... He drank more than ever and he was less inclined for any sort of society. Most of his time he would spend in his room with the door locked upon the inside, but sometimes he would emerge in a sort of drunken frenzy and would burst out of the house and tear about the garden with a revolver in his hand, screaming out that he was afraid of no man and that he was not to be cooped up like a sheep in a pen by man or devil. Quando esses hot-fits foram sobre, por exemplo, ele iria tumultuously para a porta e seguramente para a porta e seguramente para ele, como um homem que não pode abraçar isso não mais contra o terror que está no root do seu soul.
16:40
Às vezes, eu vejo a sua face, mesmo em um dia, glistando com moistura, como se fosse uma nova, de uma base de uma base.
16:50
Well, to come to an end of the matter, Mr. Holmes, and not to abuse your patience, there came a night when he made one of those drunken sallies from which he never came back. We found him, when we went to search for him, face downward in a little green scummed pool which lay at the foot of the garden. There was no sign of any violence, and the water was but two feet deep, so that the jury, having regard to his known eccentricity, brought in a verdict of suicide. Mas eu, que sabia como ele vencedo de um pensamento de morte, tinha muito ado para me persuadir que ele tinha ido de volta para encontrar ele.
17:26
O matter passou, mas meu pai entrou em posicionamento de um estate e de um 14,000, que saia de crédito no banco.
17:38
Um momento, Holmes interposed, seu statement é, eu vejo, um dos mais maravilhosos para que eu tenha ouvido. Let me ter a data da recepção do seu pai, e a data do seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai, o seu pai.
18:10
When my father took over the Horsham property, he, at my request, made a careful examination of the attic, which had been always locked up.
18:18
We found the brass box there, although its contents had been destroyed.
18:23
On the inside of the cover was a paper label with the initials of KKK repeated upon it and letters, memoranda, receipts and a register written beneath.
18:34
These, we presume, indicated the nature of the papers which had been destroyed by Colonel Openshaw. For the rest, there was nothing of much importance in the attic save a great many scattered papers and notebooks bearing upon my uncle's life in America.
18:49
Some of them were of the wartime and showed that he had done his duty well and had borne the repute of a brave soldier. Others were of a date during the reconstruction of the southern states, and were mostly concerned with politics, for he had evidently taken a strong part in opposing the carpetbag politicians who had been sent down from the north. Well, it was the beginning of 84 when my father came to live at Horsham, and all went as well as possible with us until the January of 85.
19:21
On o quarto dia depois do novo ano, eu ouvi meu pai dar um caro de surpresa ao sábado de sábado na mesa. Há ele estava, sentindo com uma unha aberta de novo em uma mão e cinco correntes de orange pips na palma do outro.
19:39
Ele sempre se divertia ao que ele chamava de coca e de bull sobre o colonel, mas ele se parecia muito preocupada agora que o mesmo aconteceu com ele.
19:51
''Why, what on earth does this mean, John?'' he stammered. My heart had turned to lead. ''It is KKK,'' said I. He looked inside the envelope. ''So it is,'' he cried. ''Here are the very letters. But what is this written above them?'' ''Put the papers on the sundial,'' I read, peeping over his shoulder.
20:21
''What papers, what sundial?'' he asked. ''The sundial in the garden, there is no other,'' said I. ''But the papers must be those that are destroyed.'' ''Purr!'' said he, gripping hard at his courage. ''We are in a civilized land here and we can't have tomfoolery of this kind. Where does the thing come from?'' ''From Dundee,'' I answered, glancing at the postmark.
20:56
''Some preposterous practical joke,'' said he. ''What have I to do with sundials and papers? I shall take no notice of such nonsense.'' ''I should certainly speak to the police,'' I said. ''And be laughed at for my pains, nothing of the sort.'' ''Then let me do so.'' No, I forbid you, I won't have a fuss made about such nonsense.
21:29
It was in vain to argue with him, for he was a very obstinate man.
21:34
I went about, however, with a heart which was full of forebodings.
21:41
O terceiro dia depois da chegada da letra, meu pai foi de casa para visitar um amigo de um amigo, Major Freebody, que estava em commando de um dos fortes em Portesdown Hill. Eu estava feliz que ele fosse para ir, porque me parecia que ele estava de medo quando ele estava de casa. Em que, por exemplo, eu estava em erro. No segundo dia de sua presença, eu recebeu um telegramo do Major, implorando-me de vir à volta.
22:06
My father had fallen over one of the deep chalk pits which abound in the neighbourhood and was lying senseless with a shattered skull.
22:14
I hurried to him, but he passed away without having ever recovered his consciousness.
22:20
He had, as it appears, been returning from Fairham in the twilight, and as the country was unknown to him, and the chalk pit unfenced, the jury had no hesitation in bringing in a verdict of death from accidental causes.
22:38
I was unable to find anything which could suggest the idea of murder.
22:45
There were no signs of violence, no footmarks, no robbery, no record of strangers having been seen upon the roads, and yet I need not tell you that my mind was far from at ease and that I was well nigh certain that some foul plot had been woven round him.
23:04
In this sinister way I came into my inheritance, you will ask me why I did not dispose of it.
23:09
I answer, because I was well convinced that our troubles were in some way dependent upon an incident in my uncle's life and that the danger would be as pressing in one house as in another.
23:23
It was in January 1985 that my poor father met his end, and two years and eight months have elapsed since then. During that time I have lived happily at Horsham, and I had begun to hope that this curse had passed away from the family and that it had ended with the last generation.
23:41
I had begun to take comfort too soon, however. Yesterday morning the blow fell in the very shape in which it had come upon my father.
23:52
The young man took from his waistcoat a crumpled envelope, and turning to the table, he shook out upon it five little dried orange pips. This is the envelope, he continued.
24:09
The postmark is London, Eastern Division.
24:13
Within are the very words which were upon my father's last message. KKK. And then, put the papers on the sundial.
24:25
''What have you done?'' asked Holmes. ''Nothing.'' ''Nothing.'' ''To tell the truth,'' he sank his face into his thin white hands. ''I have felt helpless.
24:45
I have felt like one of those poor rabbits when the snake is writhing towards it.'' I seem to be in the grasp of some resistless, inexorable evil, which no foresight and no precautions can guard against. Tut, tut, cried Sherlock Holmes.
25:04
You must act, man, or you are lost. Nothing but energy can save you. This is no time for despair. I have seen the police.
25:22
mas eles escondem a minha história com um sorriso.
25:25
Eu sou convidado que o inspetor fez o opinião que os letras são tudo brincadeira e que os mortos de meu relacionamento eram realmente acontecimentos, as o juízo stated, e não foram conectados com os avisos. Homes shook hisas clenched hands no ar. ''Incredible imbecility!'' ele cried.
25:50
They have, however, allowed me a policeman who may remain in the house with me.
25:57
Has he come with you tonight?
26:02
No, his orders were to stay in the house.
26:07
Again Holmes raved in the air. Why did you come to me, he said, and above all, why did you not come at once?
26:20
I did not know.
26:22
It was only today that I spoke to Major Prendergast about my troubles and was advised by him to come to you.
26:31
It is really two days since you had the letter. We should have acted before this. You have no further evidence, I suppose, than that which you have placed before us. No suggestive detail which might help us.
26:47
There is one thing. disse John Openshore. Ele rummaged in his coat pocket and drawing out a piece of discolored, blue tinted paper, he laid it out upon the table. I have some remembrance, said he, that on the day when my uncle burned the papers I observed that the small unburned margins which lay amid the ashes were of this particular color, I found this single sheet upon the floor of his room, and I am inclined to think that it may be one of the papers which has perhaps fluttered out from among the others, and in that way has escaped destruction.
27:24
Beyond the mention of Pips, I do not see that it helps us much.
27:29
I think myself that it is a page from some private diary. The writing is undoubtedly my uncle's.
27:38
Holmes moved the lamp, and we both bent over the sheet of paper, which showed by its ragged edge that it had indeed been torn from a book.
27:48
It was headed March 1869, and beneath were the following enigmatical notices.
27:57
Fourth, Hudson came, same old platform.
28:01
Seventh, set the pips on Macaulay, Paramore and John Swain of St Augustine.
28:08
Ninth, Macaulay cleared.
28:11
Tenth, John Swain cleared.
28:14
Twelfth, visited Paramore Alwell.
28:19
Thank you, said Holmes, folding up the paper and returning it to our visitor. And now you must on no account lose another instant. We cannot spare time even to discuss what you have told me. You must get home instantly and act.
28:37
What shall I do?
28:41
There is but one thing to do, it must be done at once.
28:44
You must put this piece of paper which you have shown us into the brass box which you have described. You must also put in a note to say that all the other papers were burned by your uncle, and that this is the only one which remains. You must assert that in such words as will carry conviction with them.
29:04
Having done this, you must at once put the box out upon the sundial, as directed. Do you understand?
29:15
Entirely.
29:19
Do not think of revenge or anything of the sort at present.
29:22
I think that we may gain that by means of the law, but we have our web to weave, while theirs is already woven.
29:30
The first consideration is to remove the pressing danger which threatens you. The second is to clear up the mystery and to punish the guilty parties.
29:43
I thank you, said the young man, rising and pulling on his overcoat. You have given me fresh life and hope. I shall certainly do as you advise.
29:55
Do not lose an instant, and above all, take care of yourself in the meanwhile, for I do not think that there can be a doubt that you are threatened by a very real and imminent danger.
30:07
How do you go back?
30:12
By train from Waterloo.
30:16
It is not yet nine. The streets will be crowded, so I trust that you may be in safety. And yet you cannot guard yourself too closely. I am armed.
30:32
That is well.
30:33
Tomorrow I shall set to work upon your case. I shall see you at Horsham then?
30:43
No, seu secret está em Londres. É lá que eu vou procurar. Então eu vou chamar de você em um dia, ou em dois dias, com news sobre o box e o papers.
30:57
Eu vou te dar a sua ajuda em cada particular.
31:02
Ele shook hands com nós, e levou o seu leave.
31:06
Outside, o vento still screamed, e o vento splasso e pássaro contra o windows.
31:12
This strange, wild story seemed to have come to us from amid the mad elements, blown in upon us like a sheet of seaweed in a gale, and now to have been reabsorbed by them once more. Sherlock Holmes sat for some time in silence, with his head sunk forward and his eyes bent upon the red glow of the fire.
31:36
Then he lit his pipe, and leaning back in his chair, he watched the blue smoke rings as they chased each other up to the ceiling. I think, Watson, he remarked at last, that of all our cases we have had none more fantastic than this, save perhaps the sign of four.
32:01
Well, yes, save perhaps that.
32:04
e ainda este John Openshaw parece-me estar caminhando ainda mais grandes perigos do que o Sholtos. Mas você, eu perguntou, formou uma ideia de concepção sobre o que esses perigos são?
32:20
Não há dúvida sobre a sua natureza, ele respondeu. Então, o que são eles? Quem é esse KKK? E por que ele perseguiu essa família?
32:37
Sherlock Holmes closed his eyes and placed his elbows upon the arms of his chair with his fingertips together.
32:43
The ideal reasoner, he remarked, would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it, but also all the results which would follow from it.
32:59
As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, Então, o observador, que entende um link em uma série de incidências, deve ser capaz de declarar todos os outros, tanto antes e depois. Nós ainda não temos percebido os resultados que a razão só pode obter. Problems podem ser resolvidos no estudo que tem baflado todos os que têm achado a solução pela ajuda de seus senses. Para carregar a arte, ao seu nível superior, é necessário que o reasoner possa utilizar todos os fatos que chegaram ao seu conhecimento, e isso, em si mesmo, implica, como você pode ver, a possesão de todo o conhecimento, que, mesmo em esses dias de educação e encyclopédias, é um pouco raro.
33:47
Não é tão impossível, por exemplo, que um homem possesão de todo o conhecimento que é provavelmente útil para ele em seu trabalho, E isso eu tenho endeavado, em meu caso, para fazer. Se eu me lembro, você, em uma ocasião, nos primeiros dias de nossa amizade, definiu meus limites em uma forma muito precisa. Sim, eu respondi, rindo. Foi um documento singular.
34:15
Filosofia, astronomia e política foram marcados em zero, eu me lembro. Botany variable, geology profound as regards the mud stains from any region within 50 miles of town, chemistry eccentric, anatomy unsystematic, sensational literature and crime records unique, violin player, boxer, swordsman, lawyer and self-poisoner by cocaine and tobacco. Those, I think, were the main points of my analysis.
34:48
Holmes grinned at the last item.
34:51
''Well,'' he said, ''I say now, as I said then, that a man should keep his little brain attic stocked with all the furniture that he is likely to use, and the rest he can put away in the lumber room of his library where he can get it if he wants it.
35:08
Now, for such a case as the one which has been submitted to us tonight, we need certainly to muster all our resources.'' Tentando me dar a letra K do American Encyclopedia, que está na mesa beside você. Obrigado. Agora, vamos considerar a situação e ver o que pode ser deduzido de ela.
35:31
Em primeiro lugar, nós podemos começar com a pressão de que Col. Openshaw tinha uma grande razão para sair da América.
35:38
Men, em seu tempo de vida, não mudam os seus hábitos e exchange, willingly, o clima climático de Florida para a vida linda de um país em inglês provincial.
35:49
His extreme love of solitude in England suggests the idea that he was in fear of someone or something, so we may assume as a working hypothesis that it was fear of someone or something which drove him from America.
36:03
As to what it was he feared, we can only deduce that by considering the formidable letters which were received by himself and his successors, did you remark the postmarks of those letters?
36:18
O primeiro foi de Pondicherry, o segundo foi de Dundee, e o terceiro foi de Londres. De Londres, o que você deduzia de isso? Eles são todos seaportes.
36:33
O escritor estava em um avião.
36:38
Excelente, nós já temos uma ideia. Não há dúvida que a probabilidade, a grande probabilidade, é que a writer estava no board de um ship. E agora, vamos considerar outro ponto.
36:51
Em caso de Pondicherry, 7 meses elapsed entre a threat e a sua força. Em Dundee, foi apenas 3 ou 4 dias.
36:59
Isso significa algo?
37:04
A maior distância para viajar.
37:09
Mas a letra também tinha uma distância maior. Então eu não vejo o ponto.
37:20
Há pelo menos uma presumpção de que o vessel em que o homem, ou o homem, é um avião. Parece que eles sempre enviam seu singular warning ou token para eles quando começarem a sua missão.
37:32
Você vê como rapidamente a lei seguiu o signo quando veio de Dundee.
37:37
Se eles vieram de Pondicherry, em um steamer, eles vieram quase assim como seu letto.
37:42
Mas, por um fato, sete meses elapsaram.
37:46
Eu acho que esses sete meses representam a diferença entre a mail-boa que trouxe o letto e a saíla que trouxe o letto. É possível.
38:01
More than that, it is probable, and now you see the deadly urgency of this new case, and why I urged young Openshaw to caution. The blow has always fallen at the end of the time which it would take the senders to travel the distance, but this one comes from London, and therefore we cannot count upon delay.
38:22
Good God, I cried, what can it mean, this relentless persecution?
38:29
Os papéis que Openshore carried são obviamente de vital importância para a pessoa ou pessoas na pesquisa.
38:36
Eu acho que é muito claro que deve haver mais do que um deles. Um homem não poderia ter carregado dois mortos em uma forma de decepção de um juízo.
38:47
Deve ter sido vários. E eles devem ter sido pessoas de resource e de determinação.
38:54
Os papéis, eles deveriam ter. Be o holder de eles, quem eles possam.
38:59
In this way, you see KKK ceases to be the initials of an individual and becomes the badge of a society. But of what society?
39:14
Have you never, said Sherlock Holmes, bending forward and sinking his voice, have you never heard of the Ku Klux Klan? I never have.
39:28
Holmes turned over the leaves of the book upon his knee. ''Here it is,'' said he presently.
39:37
Ku Klux Klan, a name derived from the fanciful resemblance to the sound produced by cocking a rifle.
39:46
This terrible secret society was formed by some ex-Confederate soldiers in the southern states after the Civil War, and it rapidly formed local branches in different parts of the country, Notamente em Tennessee, Louisiana, the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.
40:04
Its power was used for political purposes, principalmente for terrorizing of the Negro voters, and the murdering and driving from the country of those who were opposed to its views.
40:16
Its outrages were usually preceded by a warning sent to the marked man, in some fantastic but generally recognized shape, A sprig de oak leaves in some parts, melon seeds or orange pips in others.
40:31
On receiving this, the victim might either openly abjure his former ways, or might fly from the country.
40:38
If he braved the matter out, death would unfailingly come upon him, and usually in some strange and unforeseen manner.
40:47
So perfect was the organisation of the society, and so systematic its methods, that there is hardly a case upon record where any man succeeded in braving it with impunity, or in which any of its outrages were traced home to the perpetrators.
41:04
For some years the organisation flourished in spite of the efforts of the United States government and of the better classes of the community in the South, Eventually, no ano de 1869, o movimento rather suddenly collapsed, although there have been sporadic outbreaks of the same sort since that date. You will observe, said Holmes, laying down the volume, that the sudden breaking up of the society was coincident with the disappearance of Open Shore from America with their papers.
41:35
It may well have been cause and effect. It is no wonder that he and his family have some of the more implacable spirits upon their track. You can understand that this register and diary may implicate some of the first men in the south, and that there may be many who will not sleep easy at night until it is recovered.
41:55
Then the page we have seen.
42:00
Is such as we might expect. It ran, if I remember right, sent the pips to A, B and C, that is, sent the society's warning to them. Then there are successive entries that A and B cleared, or left the country, and finally that C was visited, with, I fear, a sinister result for C.
42:21
Well, I think, Doctor, that we may let some light into this dark place, and I believe that the only chance young Openshaw has in the meantime is to do what I have told him. There is nothing more to be said or to be done tonight, so hand me over my violin and let us try to forget for half an hour the miserable weather and the still more miserable ways of our fellow men.
42:47
It had cleared in the morning, and the sun was shining with a subdued brightness through the dim veil which hangs over the great city.
42:56
Sherlock Holmes was already at breakfast when I came down.
43:02
You will excuse me for not waiting for you, said he. I have, I foresee, a very busy day before me in looking into this case of young open shores.
43:14
What steps will you take? I asked.
43:19
It will very much depend upon the results of my first enquiries. I may have to go down to Horsham after all.
43:29
You will not go there first?
43:33
No, I shall commence with the city. Just ring the bell and the maid will bring up your coffee.
43:42
As I waited, I lifted the unopened newspaper from the table and glanced my eye over it.
43:48
It rested upon a heading which sent a chill to my heart.
43:55
Holmes, I cried, you are too late. Ah, said he, laying down his cup, I feared as much.
44:07
How was it done?
44:09
He spoke calmly, but I could see that he was deeply moved.
44:16
My eye caught the name of Openshaw and the heading Tragedy Near Waterloo Bridge.
44:21
Here is the account.
44:23
Between 9 and 10 last night, Police Constable Cook of the H Division, on duty near Waterloo Bridge, heard a cry for help and a splash in the water.
44:33
The night, however, was extremely dark and stormy, so that, in spite of the help of several passers-by, it was quite impossible to effect a rescue. O alarme, however, foi dado, e, por o apoio da polícia, o corpo foi eventualmente recuperado. Foi que foi que foi um jovem jovem, que o nome, como aparece de um envelope que foi encontrado em seu pocket, foi John Openshaw, e que sua residência é perto de Horsham.
45:00
It is conjectured that he may have been hurrying down to catch the last train from Waterloo Station and that in his haste and the extreme darkness he missed his path and walked over the edge of one of the small landing places for river steamboats.
45:15
The body exhibited no traces of violence and there can be no doubt that the deceased had been the victim of an unfortunate accident which should have the effect of calling the attention of the authorities to the condition of the riverside landing stages.
45:33
We sat in silence for some minutes, Holmes more depressed and shaken than I had ever seen him.
45:42
That hurts my pride, Watson, he said at last. It is a petty feeling, no doubt, but it hurts my pride.
45:50
It becomes a personal matter with me now, and if God sends me health, I shall set my hand upon this gang, that he should come to me for help and that I should send him away to his death He sprang from his chair and paced about the room in uncontrollable agitation, with a flush upon his sallow cheeks and a nervous clasping and unclasping of his long, thin hands. They must be cunning devils, he exclaimed at last. How could they have decoyed him down there?
46:20
The embankment is not on the direct line to the station. The bridge, no doubt, was too crowded even on such a night for their purpose. Well, Watson, we shall see who will win in the long run. I am going out now.
46:35
To the police? No, I shall be my own police. When I have spun the web, they may take the flies, but not before.
46:48
All day I was engaged in my professional work, and it was late in the evening before I returned to Baker Street. Sherlock Holmes had not come back yet.
46:59
It was nearly ten o'clock before he entered, looking pale and worn.
47:04
He walked up to the sideboard and tearing a piece from the loaf, he devoured it voraciously, washing it down with a long draught of water.
47:14
You are hungry, I remarked.
47:20
Starving. It had escaped my memory. I have had nothing since breakfast. Nothing?
47:31
Not a bite, I had no time to think of it.
47:37
E como você conseguiu? Bem... Você tem uma ideia. Eu tenho eles em uma mão de minha mão. Os jovens não vão permanecer longas unhavengadas.
47:56
Por que, Watson, deixe-nos colocar seus próprios trademarks sobre eles. Isso é bem pensado. O que você quer dizer?
48:10
He took an orange from the cupboard, and tearing it to pieces, he squeezed out the pips upon the table.
48:17
Of these, he took five and thrust them into an envelope.
48:22
On the inside of the flap, he wrote, SH for JO. Then he sealed it and addressed it to Captain James Calhoun, Bach Lone Star, Savannah, Georgia.
48:37
That will await him when he enters port, said he, chuckling.
48:41
It may give him a sleepless night.
48:44
He will find it as sure a precursor of his fate as Openshaw did before him.
48:52
And who is this Captain Calhoun?
48:57
The leader of the gang. I shall have the others, but he first.
49:04
How did you trace it, then?
49:09
He took a large sheet of paper from his pocket, all covered with dates and names. I have spent the whole day, said he, over Lloyd's registers and files of the old papers, following the future career of every vessel which touched at Pondicherry in January and February in 83. There were 36 ships of fair tonnage which were reported there during those months. Of these, one, the Lone Star, instantly attracted my attention, since although it was reported as having cleared from London, the name is that which is given to one of the states of the Union.
49:51
Texas, I think.
49:55
I was not, and I'm not sure which, but I knew that the ship must have an American origin. What then?
50:07
I searched the Dundee records, and when I found that the Bach Lone Star was there in January 1985, my suspicion became a certainty.
50:16
I then enquired as to the vessels which lay at present in the Port of London. Yes?
50:27
The Lone Star had arrived here last week.
50:30
I went down to the Albert Dock and found that she had been taken down the river by the early tide this morning, homeward bound to Savannah. I wired to Gravesend and learned that she had passed some time ago and as the wind is easterly I have no doubt that she is now past the Goodwins and not very far from the Isle of Wight. What will you do then?
50:54
Oh, I have my hand upon him.
50:56
He and the two mates are, as I learn, the only native-born Americans in the ship.
51:01
The others are Finns and Germans. I know also that they were all three away from the ship last night. I had it from the stevedore who has been loading their cargo.
51:12
By the time that their sailing ship reaches Savannah, the mail boat will have carried this letter and the cable will have informed the police of Savannah that these three gentlemen are badly wanted here upon a charge of murder.
51:28
There is ever a flaw, however, in the best laid of human plans, and the murderers of John Openshaw were never to receive the orange pips, which would show them that another, as cunning and as resolute as themselves, was upon their track. Very long and very severe were the equinoctial gales that year.
51:48
We waited long for news of the lone star of Savannah, but none ever reached us.
51:54
We did at last hear that somewhere far out in the Atlantic, a shattered stern post of a boat was seen swinging in the trough of a wave, with the letters LS carved upon it.
52:06
And that is all which we shall ever know of the fate of the Lone Star.
52:23
Amém.
