- [Watson] Are you gonna let Lestrade

handle this thing by himself?

- [Sherlock] Well, after all,

he does represent the official police, you know.

- [Watson] With him doing the questioning,

looking under the seat cushions for diamonds,

what very more must we do now?

I could do it better myself.

- [Sherlock] Why don't you, old fellow?

- [Watson] Huh?

By Jove, I think I will.

Probably find out just as much Lestrade would anyway.

I'll do it at once.

Oh, that's where we just came from.

Locked, huh?

Oh.

Well, I'll start with this one.

[knocking]

Hello.

- [Man] Yes?

- [Watson] My name's Watson. Dr. Watson.

- [Man] Oh, to what am I indebted to this intrusion?

- [Watson] I'm afraid

I've got to ask you one or two questions.

What are you doing on the train?

Where are you going?

Things like that, you know.

- [Man] Why? Customary?

- [Watson] Oh, there's been a murder committed.

Scotland Yard.

- Did my food come?

- It's in the kitchen.

- [Man On Radio] What about Sherlock Holmes?

- [Watson] We're cross-examining suspects.

- Thanks for that.

- [Man On Radio] Suspects?

Of what am I suspected?

- [Watson] Oh, a fellow's dead. Murdered, you know.

- [Man On Radio] Now, let me get this straight.

You say a murder has been committed on this train?

- [Watson] Oh, in the next compartment.

- [Man On Radio] And because a perfect stranger to me

got himself murdered, you've come to question me?

- [Watson] Well, we've got to question everybody!

- [Man On Radio] Are you a policeman? No?

Then by what right

do you force your way into my compartment?

- [Lestrade] What's the idea, Mr. Holmes?

- [Sherlock] It's a matter of taste, Lestrade.

The young lady's taking her mother to Scotland for burial.

- [Lestrade] In a coffin?

- [Sherlock] That is the customary method, I believe.

Lestrade, I think we'll take a look at that coffin.

It might prove interesting.

- [Lestrade] Hm, I was about to

suggest that very thing myself, Mr. Holmes.

Conductor, I'll have a look in the luggage van.

- [Mum] Is it as good as it looks in the brochure?

- [Anna] I'm just in the door.

- [Mum] It looked lovely in the brochure.

Oh, just give me a sec, love.

I just got to answer the door.

[tender music]

Sorry, love. That was just a package for Dad.

So, what's the impression?

- [Anna] So far, so good. I'll call you later and report.

- [Mum] Do. Do, love, do.

Your dad will want the complete lowdown.

- Of course, Mum.

Let me get settled and I'll call you as soon as.

- [Mum] Okay, okay, love.

Dad sends kisses.

- [Anna] Yeah, kisses back. Love you.

- [Anna] It's fine, Dad. It'll come.

It always does.

I just need a couple of days cooling off

and I'll be able to jump right in.

- [Dad] That's my girl.

Well, Sophie in the Book Corner told me that

books 1 to 3 have completely sold out.

They have another lot on order.

- [Anna] Sophie's lovely.

Tell her thanks from me,

for keeping the flag flying.

- [Dad] I know you're being kind, Squirrel.

She is aware it's only a village bookshop,

but we're proud of you, that's all.

No one else from this quaint corner of the world

has ascended to such dizzy heights.

- [Anna] I'm not exactly J.K. Rowling, Dad.

- Well, she wasn't either, until Hollywood came calling.

- [Anna] I think you'll find she's always been J.K. Rowling.

- [Dad] You know what I mean.

Look, your old dad is proud of you.

You are following what burns inside

and making a bloody good living,

so you keep that fire lit.

- [Anna] Thanks, Dad. That means the world to me.

You know it does.

Now stop worrying.

- [Dad] I know. I know.

I just, um, well...

I just don't like to think of you being unhappy, that's all.

It breaks my heart.

- [Anna] Stop, Dad. You'll make me cry again.

It'll get sorted, one way or the other.

- [Dad] Okay. Okay, love.

Well, you enjoy your night and keep me in the loop.

We'll talk tomorrow, or the day after.

- [Anna] Of course, Dad.

Dad, I love you.

- Very well.

Our guests are here, unfortunately still alive.

Is your face on yet?

- Dust and dirt everywhere. The water barely trickled.

Couldn't you have had the place cleaned?

- Atmosphere, darling. You know how ghosts are.

They never tidy up.

That's a very fetching outfit,

but hardly suitable for a party.

- I'm not going to the party.

- This spend-the-night ghost party was your idea, remember?

If you're gonna cost me $50,000, I want you to have fun.

- The party was my idea, until you invited all the guests.

Why all of these strangers, but none of our friends?

- Friends? Do we have any friends?

- No, your jealousy took care of that.

- I had a reason for inviting each guest.

I wanted kind of a cross section,

from psychiatrist to typist,

and from drunk to jet pilot.

They share one thing, they all need money.

Now, let's see if they're brave enough to earn it.

- [Woman] And you call this a party?

- [Man] Could be.

- [Woman] Why do you always do that?

It spoils the Champagne.

- [Man] Well, it might explode.

- [Woman] It never does.

- [Man] Will you guarantee that?

- [Woman] That isn't funny, Frederick.

- [Frederick] It would make a good headline.

- [Radio] "Aesop's Fables,"

A New Translation by V. S. Vernon Jones,

with an introduction by G. K. Chesterton, 1912 edition.

Introduction.

[ominous music]

Aesop embodies an epigram not uncommon in human history;

his fame is all the more deserved

because he never deserved it.

The firm foundations of common sense,

the shrewd shots at uncommon sense,

that characterize all his fables,

belong not him but to humanity.

In the earliest human history,

whatever is authentic is universal,

and whatever is universal is anonymous.

In such cases, there is always some central man

who had first the trouble of collecting them,

and afterwards the fame of creating them.

He had the fame; and, on the whole, he earned the fame.

There must be something great and human,

something of the human future and the human past,

in such a man, even if he only used it

to rob the past or deceive the future.

The story of Arthur may have been really connected

with the most fighting Christianity of falling Rome

or with the most heathen traditions

hidden in the hills of Wales.

[distorted radio crackling]

- [Woman] To many, the frost of custom has made

even those imposing annual ceremonies cold and lifeless.

To you, at least of those present,

they should have the solemnity of an ordinance,

[phone buzzes]

called as you are this day to a high dignity

and to so weighty an office and charge.

You have chosen your Genius,

have passed beneath the Throne of Necessity,

and with the voices of the fatal sisters still in your ears,

will soon enter the plain of Forgetfulness

and drink of the waters of its river.

Ere you are driven all manner of ways,

like the souls in the tale of Er the Pamphylian.

Foot note, the Republic, book 10.

End foot note.

It is my duty to say a few words of encouragement

and to bid you, in the name of the Faculty,

God-speed on your journey.

I could have the heart to spare you,

poor, careworn survivors of a hard struggle,

so "lean and pale and leaden-eyed with study;"

and my tender mercy constrains me to consider

but two of the score of elements

which may make or mar your lives,

which may contribute to your success,

or help you in the days of failure.

[phone buzzes]

In the first place, in the physician or surgeon

no quality takes rank with imperturbability,

and I propose for a few minutes to direct your attention

to this essential bodily virtue.

[creaking]

Perhaps I may be able to give those of you,

in whom it has not developed

during the critical scenes of the past month,

a hint or two of its importance,

possibly a suggestion for its attainment.

Imperturbability means coolness and presence of mind

under all circumstances, calmness amid storm,

clearness of judgment in moments of grave peril,

immobility, impassiveness, or,

to use an old and expressive word, phlegm.

It is the quality which is most appreciated by the laity,

[creaking]

though often misunderstood by them;

and the physician who has the misfortune to be without it,

who betrays indecision and worry,

and who shows that he is flustered and flurried

in ordinary emergencies,

loses rapidly the confidence of his patients.

In full development,

as we see it in some of our older colleagues,

it has the nature of a divine gift,

a blessing to the possessor,

a comfort to all who come in contact with him.

You should know it well, for there have been before you

for years several striking illustrations, whose example has,

I trust, made a deep impression.

As imperturbability is largely a bodily endowment,

I regret to say that there are those amongst you,

who, owing to congenital defects,

may never be able to acquire it.

Education, however, will do much.

- [Anna] I've only just arrived, David,

and frankly, this is annoying.

- [David] Look, I just want you to know that

I'm thinking about you.

All the time, actually.

- [Anna] Wow.

- [David] Wow, what?

- [Anna] That is some reformation in 24 hours.

- [David] I love you, Anna. You know that.

I'm always thinking about you.

- [Anna] And you were thinking of me

when you had your tongue

inside of Alison's mouth at your work do?

- [David] We were drunk.

I don't even particularly like Alison.

- [Anna] Oh.

Well, that's lovely.

So, I can expect you to grab the first woman

on Oxford Street on a Saturday afternoon

as we're out shopping.

On a whim. On a compulsion.

- [David] Don't be childish, Anna.

Look, it's never happened before

and it will never happen again.

I'm sorry, for fuck's sake.

[animals calling]

- [Anna] Oh, the apology of the century!

"I'm sorry, for fuck's sake."

Look, David.

I appreciate you thinking of me and making an effort,

but I need,

yes, me,

I need time alone here

to write the book that I am under contract

to deliver on time,

and now, figure everything out.

- [David] I understand that, but-

- [Anna] Please, David. I hear what you are saying.

I take it on board and I appreciate it,

but it would mean so much more

if you respect my need to have this time alone.

Can you do that for me?

- [David] Yes, Anna.

I can do that. [birds chirping]

- [Anna] Thank you.

[phone buzzes]

I'll be in touch.

You can count on that, okay?

- [David] Okay. I'll wait to hear from you.

- [Anna] Thank you, David.

We'll talk soon.

My agent's calling.

- [David] Okay, Anna. Okay.

[phone ringing]

- [Stephen] Settled in?

- [Anna] It's wonderful.

- [Stephen] So, what's our plan?

- [Anna] The first three chapters delivery,

as soon as possible.

- [Stephen] Absolutely. Full chapters.

As close to finished as possible.

Outside editorial suggestion, of course.

- [Anna] I'm on it, Stephen.

I won't let you down. Do I ever?

- [Stephen] It has been close to the wire, several times,

but today is a new day

with a new hideaway and a fresh perspective.

Am I wrong?

- [Anna] You're not wrong, Stephen.

I've already made a start.

- [Stephen] You know the terms of the advance

and the contractual stipulation

to deliver chapters to deadline,

so I will leave you to your sterling efforts.

- [Anna] Thank you, Stephen. I'll be in touch soon.

- [Stephen] Excellent. Bye.

- [Anna] Emma Hart, June 8th, 1939.

When Emma pulled back the curtains,

she noticed that the tall figure,

[keyboard clacking]

now an inky black silhouette on the horizon

near the Low Wood Copse,

was tilted in the direction of the farmhouse.

It seemed taller than before, even though hers

wasn't a reliable vantage point from the window.

She remembered having thought a great wolf

was running the length of the hilltop

when she visited her aunt and uncle at the farmhouse

while in her early teens, only to discover...

[clicking]

That it was an errant sheepdog hunting rabbits.

It was Farmer Stillgoe's sheepdog, in fact,

but that was a whole other mystery, since solved.

Emma closed the curtains

with as much nonchalance as she could muster,

under the circumstances, and walked quickly to the stairs

that led to the upper floors.

She bounded them, three steps at a time,

and when the first landing was reached,

she made her way to the small window

at the center of the house for a better look at the ridge.

The light was failing fast though,

and she knew instinctively that there wasn't much hope

of seeing more than from below,

but she had some time before dinner with her extended family

and so, being true to her inquisitive nature,

she peered out into the growing gloom.

[gentle music]

- [Mum] I wouldn't call it a fender-bender,

but there is a sizeable dent in the passenger door.

- [Anna] Did Dad go mad?

- [Mum] No, no, actually, surprisingly.

He was quite philosophical about it.

He accepted that it wasn't my fault

and that the other driver was backing out.

Refreshing.

Look, he's hovering now.

I'll put him on.

- [Anna] Kisses, Mum.

- [Mum] Love and kisses, sweetheart.

- [Dad] Have you Googled it yet?

- [Anna] Are you psychic, Dad?

- [Dad] Perhaps. A little.

- [Anna] I nearly did,

but I can't get distracted from the work.

Just too many Draconian conditions.

- [Dad] If I was there, I wouldn't be able to resist it,

and you know what your dear old mum always says.

- [Anna] I'm a chip off the old block?

- [Dad] Yes, me. The father, the elder.

- [Anna] The work is going great.

I'm just hoping things quiet down

and I can keep up the pace.

Increase it, even.

- [Dad] Okay, love.

Well, it's good to hear that the work is flowing.

That's what matters.

- [Anna] Okay, Dad. I've got to fly.

Love and hugs.

- [Dad] Bye. Love you.

- [Dr. Francis] The house was built for a sea captain

called Nigel Meeks in 1875.

Meeks had a wife, Margaret, and a son called Reginald.

When Captain Meeks and his wife died in a carriage accident

when Reginald was 22 years old,

the young man put all of his efforts

into a sea-going career of his own.

He was successful, and by the age of 29,

was a captain of his own vessel, The Noble Margaret.

By the age of 31, he was settled in Seaview House

with his young wife, Winifred,

a devoutly religious woman who held many intensive vigils

for when her husband and crew were at sea.

20 years of happiness was theirs,

even though Winifred had suffered

several episodes of mental illness

which saw her taking sanitarium rest

on three of these occasions.

Always coming through these times of strain and infirmity,

Winifred Meeks would be back by her husband's side

and preparing her schedule of devout prayer

as he set off for the North Sea once again.

In the particularly stormy spring of 1927,

Captain Meeks and his crew set off, never to return.

The locality was devastated by this loss,

as many had husbands and sons crewing the vessel

and it wasn't long before Winifred Meeks

and her own private determinations

to pray for her husband's safe return was forgotten.

Winifred believed that

if she scourged herself with green branches

and restricted her intake of food and water,

her personal suffering would strengthen

her husband's resolve to make it home to her.

She continued to pray and scourge and restrict her food

until she eventually succumbed to malnutrition.

She was discovered, starved to death,

in the attic room of the house,

where she had built a shrine

to her husband and his safe return.

Several people over the years have experienced sightings

of the ghost of Winifred Meeks at Seaview

and near the lighthouse where, in life,

she had held other vigils.

we are delivering as promised and agreed, contractually.

- Well, a few bumps in the night here

have inspired the creative process on this one.

- [Stephen] Not ghosts, Anna?

- I'm...

- [Stephen] Just do me a favor and get some proper sleep.

Don't let your imagination run into fantastical arenas

that affect your real-life abilities

to separate fact from fiction.

- [Anna] Of course, Stephen.

- [Stephen] We must deliver.

- [Anna] I will email you tomorrow.

Have a great evening.

- [Radio] Take a look,

there will be light enough for that,

at the ruins of which Disney was talking.

[keyboard clacking]

I don't exactly know where they are, by the way,

but I expect I can hardly help stumbling on them.

This he accomplished, I may say, in the most literal sense,

for in picking his way from the links to the shingle beach,

his foot caught, partly in a gorse-root

and partly in a biggish stone, and over he went.

When he got up and surveyed his surroundings,

he found himself in a patch of somewhat broken ground

covered with small depressions and mounds.

These latter, when he came to examine them,

proved to be simply masses of flints

embedded in mortar and grown over with turf.

He must, he quite rightly concluded,

be on the site of the preceptory he had promised to look at.

It seemed not unlikely to reward the spade of the explorer;

enough of the foundations

was probably left at no great depth

to throw a good deal of light on the general plan.

He remembered vaguely that the Templars,

to whom this site had belonged,

were in the habit of building round churches,

and he thought a particular series of the humps or mounds

near him did appear to be arranged

in something of a circular form.

Few people can resist the temptation

to try a little amateur research

in a department quite outside their own,

if only for the satisfaction of showing how-

The northern, a patch of the turf was gone,

removed by some boy or other creature ferae naturae.

[phone ringing]

It might, he thought, be as well

to probe the soil here

[phone buzzes]

for evidences of masonry,

and he took out his knife and began scraping away the earth.

And now followed another little discovery.

A portion of soil fell inward as he scraped,

and disclosed a small cavity.

He lighted one match after another.

- [Mum] Even a woman of your age,

and especially with asthma,

needs extra rest with pneumonia.

- [Anna] I know, Mum.

I'm getting more rest than I can handle.

- [Mum] Oh, Dad's hovering, as usual.

I'll put him on.

See you tomorrow, love.

Stay bundled up. Love you.

- [Anna] I will. Love you.

- [Dad] And how's my baby girl doing?

- [Anna] She's not doing too badly, Dad.

- [Dad] I know I keep saying it,

but thank God for that Seaview landlord finding you

and calling an ambulance.

- [Anna] I know, Dad.

He's my knight in shining corduroy.

- [Dad] But do you think

the two weeks in hospital has been enough?

I thought they wanted you

to transfer to respite for a few weeks?

- [Anna] And lie around all day and night, eating shit food?

No, Dad. Not happening.

I want to be here, where I can have

at least have some control anyway.

- [Dad] All right, and David? All good?

- [Anna] He's certainly been making an effort.

- [Dad] I'm glad to hear it, Squirrel.

I do like David.

- [Anna] I know you do, Dad.

- [Dad] Well, must dash.

Sleep tight, love.

We'll see you tomorrow,

and I'll bring you lots of fruit and warm sentiment.

- [Anna] I love you, Dad.

- [Dad] And I love you too, Anna.

I love you too.

- [Dr. Francis] Dear Ms. James,

thank you for your email.

Our studies of this property and numerous investigations

have shown that no one has successfully lived at Seaview

since the tragic deaths of Captain and Mrs. Meeks.

Various investigators associated with our research,

including members of the ordained clergy,

have been unable to rid the house

of the strong presence there, but further attempts

are already in the preparatory stages.

I hope this has been of some help.

I trust you are on the road to a full recovery.

Kind regards, Francis.

Dr. Francis Evans, parapsychologist.
