Watson.Why was she asked to do those things?

That question led Holmes and myself to visit a decidedly sinister country place called The Copper Beeches.

We found a most unexpected answer in the attic.

The Adventure of the Copper Beeches To the man who loves art for its own sake, remarked Sherlock Holmes, tossing aside the advertisement sheet of the Daily Telegraph, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.

It is pleasant to me to observe, Watson, that you have so far grasped this truth that in these little records of our cases, which you have been good enough to draw up, and I am bound to say occasionally to embellish, you have given prominence not so much to the many cause célèbre and sensational trials in which I have figured, but rather to those incidents which may have been trivial in themselves, but which have given room for those faculties of deduction and of logical synthesis which I have made my special province.

And yet, said I, smiling, I cannot quite hold myself absolved from the charge of sensationalism which has been urged against my records.

Hampshire.

Charming rural place.

The Copper Beeches, five miles on the far side of Winchester.

It is the most lovely country, my dear young lady, and the dearest old country house.

And my duties, sir? I should be glad to know what they would be.

May I ask where you live, sir?

It's the dearest old country house.

And my duties, sir?

Very few governesses in England are getting 100 a year.

Besides, what use was my hair to me? By the day after next, I had almost overcome my pride so far as to go back to the agency when I received this letter from the gentleman himself.

[tense music] Miss Stoper has kindly given me your address, and I write from the Copper Beeches to ask you whether you have reconsidered your decision.

And my wife has been much affected by my description of you and is very anxious that you should come.

[laughs] Oh, come now, Dr. Watson.

I actually played a very small part in the story.

In any case, I was much too young at the time to know what was really going on.

Say, this is a great idea, Doctor.

One of the characters out of your fabulous past, here in California in 1946, and helps tell her own story.

Oh, no, Mr. Bartel.

I'm no storyteller.

That's the doctor's department.
