Dressed to Kill Page #8

And here we have

the gallant library

in which Doctor Johnson

wrote his famous dictionary

and in which you

will see also

many of the

great man's books

and other items

of interest.

Step forward ladies and gentlemen,

please step forward.

Standing in the corner

is the secretary,

which contains many

of the original works

by the literary genius.

On this table Doctor

Johnson's cat Hodge

used to sleep while

his master worked.

But the strange thing about this cat,

ladies and gentlemen, was its love of oysters.

They do say that the dear

Doctor often went hungry

to find the cat that delicacy.

What a pity.

Now we will visit

the bedroom,

which is immediately

below us

in which you will

see the very bed

in which Doctor

Johnson died.

What did he die of?

Gout.

Just gout.

This way ladies

and gentlemen,

mind the steps please.

The keys.

Third shelf up.

The knife.

Gentlemen, the Bank

of England plates.

Well, Mrs. Courtney,

so we meet again.

Now, I shouldn't do that if I were you,

Colonel Cavanaugh.

I must congratulate you,

Mr. Holmes.

You're far more clever

than I thought.

Thank you, Mrs. Courtney.

Praise from you

is indeed gratifying.

I shall always

cherish the memory

of your flattering words.

Memory?

Oh, thank you.

And now I have a most

regrettable task to perform.

Holmes!

Coming Holmes!

Holmes!

You all right?

Perfectly, thank you, old fellow but

I think this gentleman on the floor

requires some

medical attention.

We must see that he looks his best,

you know, when he's hanged.

Take them in charge.

A brilliant antagonist.

It's a pity her talents

were so misdirected.

Will you see that these plates

are returned to the Bank

of England, Inspector?

I still don't understand how

you solved it, Mr. Holmes.

It's entirely due to

Doctor Watson.

He gave me the clue when he

mentioned Doctor Samuel Johnson.

Well, congratulations,

Doctor.

Oh, thank you, Inspector.

I don't think I could have done it

entirely without Mr. Holmes' help you know?
