Sign there gentlemen.
Yes indeed.
Are you staying
long gentlemen?
No, not long.
We just came up here
to look into the...
we just came up here
for the shooting.
Shooting?
Yes grouse of course.
No grouse here sir
for the last forty years.
No grouse?
Cheer up Watson.
You'll find some other
query to occupy our time.
This way gentlemen.
Take the gun will you?
Take the big bag.
So you're back
earlier than usual
Doctor Merrivale.
Gentlemen
I've just made a rather
intriguing discovery.
The village of Inverness
has a
distinguished visitor.
Huh?
Really?
Who?
Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Who?
I didn't quite
catch the name.
Sherlock Holmes.
Oh.
Sherlock Holmes,
the famous detective.
One wonders what he could
be doing in Inverness.
Have you forgotten
Alastair
that two of our members
have already met
with violent deaths?
Yes, yes, yes
of course yes.
Cosgrave, must you
pace up and down
like a monkey in
a ruddy cage?
I fail to see how what
I do can concern you.
Simpson, Cosgrave,
cannot we behave
like Good Comrades.
Doesn't anything ever get
on your nerves Alastair?
Oh dear me, no.
I have no nerves.
Now tell me MacGregor,
the present head
of the house
is Mr. Bruce
Alastair is it not?
Aye.
Grandson of
Donald Alastair.
He was the lullish one.
Gunned Driercliff House
in a smugglers day.
Got himself blown
to bits by a gun.
Gracious me.
And Angus Alastair
was his son.
He was eaten by cannibals
in the South Seas.
Very unfortunate
family, hey Holmes?
They found Angus' bones.
Sent them back
to Driercliff
where no man ever goes
whole to his grave.
The place is haunted.
Haunted?
You mean ghosts?
Only a fool
believes in ghosts.
Spirits never
haunted Driercliff.
Five minutes to
closing time gentlemen.
Only the memory of evil.
You're wanted at
Driercliff House Sergeant.
What is it woman?
Murder.
Alastair himself is it?
I don't know.
Doctor Merrivale
didn't say.
care to come along?
Yes I would, thank you.
Watson.
You mark my words,
Alastair has met
the brutal death
of these fathers.
Awe, good
evening Sergeant.
Oh Mr. Alastair,
this is Mr.
Sherlock Holmes
and Doctor Watson.
I took the liberty of...
Mr. Holmes, Doctor Watson.
How do you do sir?
Oh this excellent,
most excellent.
Please come in gentlemen.
Please come in.
And welcome to
Driercliff House.
Now where is the corpse?
Follow me.
It's by the furnace.
The furnace?
Yes poor Davis
he was burnt to a crisp.
Burnt to a crisp.
I say Holmes
bit of a fiend hey?
At least he's consistent.
Consistent?
Yes the deaths all follow
the legend of Driercliff.
Well as MacGregor puts it
