Priklyucheniya Sherloka Kholmsa i doktora Vatsona Sokrovishcha Agry 1 Cd 1983
We are listening to you, miss
Morstan.
My father was an officer
in an Indian regiment.
When I was quite a child,
my mother died.
I had no relative in England.
My father sent me to Edinburgh.
I was placed
in a comfortable boarding
establishment
where I remained
until I was seventeen years of age.
He telegraphed to me
that he had arrived to England,
and gave
the Langham Hotel as his address.
I drove there.
I was informed
that Captain Morstan was staying
there,
but that he had gone out
the night before and had not
returned.
Next morning
I read in newspapers
about my father’s disappearing.
from that day to this no word
has ever been heard of him.
The date?
He disappeared
upon the third of December, 1878.
- His luggage?
- Remained at the hotel.
some clothes, some books, and a
number of curiosities from the
Andaman Islands.
He had been one of the officers
in charge of the convict-guard
there.
Had he any friends in town?
Major Sholto.
Only one that we know of - Major
Sholto.
The major had retired some little
time before and lived at Upper
Norwood.
