A Study in Terror - Origin of the Case Discussed
Duke of Shires:
Where did you get this case?
Sherlock Holmes:
I believe it to have come from a White Chapel pawn shop, sir.
Duke of Shires:
A Pawn shop. No more than I predicted for him...
Sherlock Holmes:
For whom, sir?
Duke of Shires:
My eldest son, Michael.
Sherlock Holmes:
Do you know of his present address?
Duke of Shires:
He is dead.
Sherlock Holmes:
Oh, of what accident or sickness, your grace?
Duke of Shires:
Disobedience. From the day he left this house against my wishes, he has been dead, sir.
Sherlock Holmes:
You mean disowned, your grace.
Dr. Watson:
Someone should have sent for us before this, Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes:
Someone has. The woman who sent me that instrument case.
Dr. Watson:
Oh, but then why doesn't she come out into the open?
Sherlock Holmes:
Being a woman, she uses a women's art. She intrigues us to White Chapel.
