<s> IN A VAGUE WAY YES </s>
<s> WHAT WAS YOUR IDEA THEN </s>
<s> IT SEEMED TO ME TO BE OBVIOUS THAT THIS GREEK GIRL HAD BEEN CARRIED OFF BY THE YOUNG ENGLISHMAN NAMED HAROLD LATIMER </s>
<s> CARRIED OFF FROM WHERE </s>
<s> QUOTE ATHENS PERHAPS QUOTE </s>
<s> SHERLOCK HOLMES SHOOK HIS HEAD </s>
<s> THIS YOUNG MAN COULD NOT TALK A WORD OF GREEK </s>
<s> THE LADY COULD TALK ENGLISH FAIRLY WELL </s>
<s> INFERENCE THAT SHE HAD BEEN IN ENGLAND SOME LITTLE TIME BUT HE HAD NOT BEEN IN GREECE </s>
<s> WELL THEN WE WILL PRESUME THAT SHE HAD ONCE COME ON A VISIT TO ENGLAND AND THAT THIS HAROLD HAD PERSUADED HER TO FLY WITH HIM </s>
<s> THAT IS MORE PROBABLE </s>
<s> THEN THE BROTHER FOR THAT I FANCY MUST BE THE RELATIONSHIP COMES OVER FROM GREECE TO INTERFERE </s>
<s> HE IMPRUDENTLY PUTS HIMSELF INTO THE POWER OF THE YOUNG MAN AND HIS OLDER ASSOCIATE </s>
<s> THEY SEIZE HIM AND USE VIOLENCE TOWARDS HIM IN ORDER TO MAKE HIM SIGN SOME PAPERS TO MAKE OVER THE GIRL'S FORTUNE OF WHICH HE MAY BE TRUSTEE TO THEM </s>
<s> THIS HE REFUSES TO DO </s>
<s> IN ORDER TO NEGOTIATE WITH HIM THEY HAVE TO GET AN INTERPRETER AND THEY PITCH UPON THIS MR. MELAS HAVING USED SOME OTHER ONE BEFORE </s>
<s> THE GIRL IS NOT TOLD OF THE ARRIVAL OF HER BROTHER AND FINDS IT OUT BY THE MEREST ACCIDENT QUOTE </s>
<s> EXCELLENT WATSON CRIED HOLMES </s>
<s> I REALLY FANCY THAT YOU ARE NOT FAR FROM THE TRUTH </s>
<s> YOU SEE THAT WE HOLD ALL THE CARDS AND WE HAVE ONLY TO FEAR SOME SUDDEN ACT OF VIOLENCE ON THEIR PART </s>
<s> IF THEY GIVE US TIME WE MUST HAVE THEM </s>
<s> BUT HOW CAN WE FIND WHERE THIS HOUSE LIES </s>
<s> WELL IF OUR CONJECTURE IS CORRECT AND THE GIRL'S NAME IS OR WAS SOPHY KRATIDES WE SHOULD HAVE NO DIFFICULTY IN TRACING HER </s>
<s> THAT MUST BE OUR MAIN HOPE FOR THE BROTHER IS OF COURSC A COMPLETE STRANGER </s>
<s> IT IS CLEAR THAT SOME TIME HAS ELAPSED SINCE THIS HAROLD ESTABLISHED THESE RELATIONS WITH THE GIRL SOME WEEKS AT ANY RATE SINCE THE BROTHER IN GREECE HAS HAD TIME TO HEAR OF IT AND COME ACROSS </s>
<s> IF THEY HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THE SAME PLACE DURING THIS TIME IT IS PROBABLE THAT WE SHALL HAVE SOME ANSWER TO MYCROFT'S ADVERTISEMENT QUOTE </s>
<s> WE HAD REACHED OUR HOUSE IN BAKER STREET WHILE WE HAD BEEN TALKING </s>
<s> HOLMES ASCENDED THE STAIR FIRST AND AS HE OPENED THE DOOR OF OUR ROOM HE GAVE A START OF SURPRISE </s>
<s> LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDER I WAS EQUALLY ASTONISHED </s>
<s> HIS BROTHER MYCROFT WAS SITTING SMOKING IN THE ARMCHAIR </s>
<s> COME IN SHERLOCK </s>
<s> COME IN SIR SAID HE BLANDLY SMILING AT OUR SURPRISED FACES </s>
<s> YOU DON'T EXPECT SUCH ENERGY FROM ME DO YOU SHERLOCK </s>

<s> SHE IS LIVING AT PRESENT AT THE MYRTLES BECKENHAM </s>
<s> YOURS FAITHFULLY J. DAVENPORT </s>
<s> HE WRITES FROM LOWER BRIXTON SAID MYCROFT HOLMES </s>
<s> DO YOU NOT THINK THAT WE MIGHT DRIVE TO HIM NOW SHERLOCK AND LEARN THESE PARTICULARS </s>
<s> MY DEAR MYCROFT THE BROTHER'S LIFE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN THE SISTER'S STORY </s>
<s> I THINK WE SHOULD CALL AT SCOTLAND YARD FOR INSPECTOR GREGSON AND GO STRAIGHT OUT TO BECKENHAM </s>
<s> WE KNOW THAT A MAN IS BEING DONE TO DEATH AND EVERY HOUR MAY BE VITAL QUOTE </s>
<s> BETTER PICK UP MR. MELAS ON OUR WAY I SUGGESTED </s>
<s> WE MAY NEED AN INTERPRETER </s>
<s> EXCELLENT SAID SHERLOCK HOLMES </s>
<s> SEND THE BOY FOR A FOUR WHEELER AND WE SHALL BE OFF AT ONCE </s>
<s> HE OPENED THE TABLE DRAWER AS HE SPOKE AND I NOTICED THAT HE SLIPPED HIS REVOLVER INTO HIS POCKET </s>
<s> YES SAID HE IN ANSWER TO MY GLANCE I SHOULD SAY FROM WHAT WE HAVE HEARD THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS GANG </s>
<s> IT WAS ALMOST DARK BEFORE WE FOUND OURSELVES IN PALL MALL AT THE ROOMS OF MR. MELAS </s>
<s> A GENTLEMAN HAD JUST CALLED FOR HIM AND HE WAS GONE </s>
<s> QUOTE CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE QUOTE ASKED MYCROFT HOLMES </s>
<s> I DON'T KNOW SIR ANSWERED THE WOMAN WHO HAD OPENED THE DOOR I ONLY KNOW THAT HE DROVE AWAY WITH THE GENTLEMAN IN A CARRIAGE </s>
<s> DID THE GENTLEMAN GIVE A NAME </s>
<s> NO SIR </s>
<s> HE WASN'T A TALL HANDSOME DARK YOUNG MAN </s>
<s> OH NO SIR </s>
<s> HE WAS A LITTLE GENTLEMAN WITH GLASSES THIN IN THE FACE BUT VERY PLEASANT IN HIS WAYS FOR HE WAS LAUGHING ALL THE TIME THAT HE WAS TALKING QUOTE </s>
<s> COME ALONG CRIED SHERLOCK HOLMES ABRUPTLY </s>
<s> THIS GROWS SERIOUS HE OBSERVED AS WE DROVE TO SCOTLAND YARD </s>
<s> THESE MEN HAVE GOT HOLD OF MELAS AGAIN </s>
<s> HE IS A MAN OF NO PHYSICAL COURAGE AS THEY ARE WELL AWARE FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE THE OTHER NIGHT </s>
<s> THIS VILLAIN WAS ABLE TO TERRORIZE HIM THE INSTANT THAT HE GOT INTO HIS PRESENCE </s>
<s> NO DOUBT THEY WANT HIS PROFESSIONAL SERVICES BUT HAVING USED HIM THEY MAY BE INCLINED TO PUNISH HIM FOR WHAT THEY WILL REGARD AS HIS TREACHERY </s>
<s> OUR HOPE WAS THAT BY TAKING TRAIN WE MIGHT GET TO BECKENHAM AS SOON AS OR SOONER THAN THE CARRIAGE </s>
<s> ON REACHING SCOTLAND YARD HOWEVER IT WAS MORE THAN AN HOUR BEFORE WE COULD GET INSPECTOR GREGSON AND COMPLY WITH THE LEGAL FORMALITIES WHICH WOULD ENABLE US TO ENTER THE HOUSE </s>
<s> IT WAS A QUARTER TO TEN BEFORE WE REACHED LONDON BRIDGE AND HALF PAST BEFORE THE FOUR OF US ALIGHTED ON THE BECKENHAM PLATFORM </s>
<s> A DRIVE OF HALF A MILE BROUGHT US TO THE MYRTLES A LARGE DARK HOUSE STANDING BACK FROM THE ROAD IN ITS OWN GROUNDS </s>
<s> HERE WE DISMISSED OUR CAB AND MADE OUR WAY UP THE DRIVE TOGETER </s>
<s> THE WINDOWS ARE ALL DARK REMARKED THE INSPECTOR </s>
<s> QUOTE THE HOUSE SEEMS DESERTED QUOTE </s>
<s> OUR BIRDS ARE FLOWN AND THE NEST EMPTY SAID HOLMES </s>
<s> WHY DO YOU SAY SO </s>
<s> A CARRIAGE HEAVILY LOADED WITH LUGGAGE HAS PASSED OUT DURING THE LAST HOUR </s>
<s> THE INSPECTOR LAUGHED </s>
<s> I SAW THE WHEEL TRACKS IN THE LIGHT OF THE GATE LAMP BUT WHERE DOES THE LUGGAGE COME IN </s>
<s> YOU MAY HAVE OBSERVED THE SAME WHEEL TRACKS GOING THE OTHER WAY </s>
<s> BUT THE OUTWARD BOUND ONES WERE VERY MUCH DEEPER SO MUCH SO THAT WE CAN SAY FOR A CERTAINTY THAT THERE WAS A VERY CONSIDERABLE WEIYHT ON THE CARRIAGE QUOTE </s>
<s> YOU GET A TRIFLE BEYOND ME THERE SAID THE INSPECTOR SHRUGGING HIS SHOULDERS </s>
<s> IT WILL NOT BE AN EASY DOOR TO FORCE BUT WE WILL TRY IF WE CANNOT MAKE SOMEONE HEAR US </s>
<s> HE HAMMERED LOUDLY AT THE KNOCKER AND PULLED AT THE BELL BUT WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS </s>
<s> HOLMES HAD SLIPPED AWAY BUT HE CAME BACK IN A FEW MINUTES </s>
<s> I HAVE A WINDOW OPEN SAID HE </s>
<s> IT IS A MERCY THAT YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE FORCE AND NOT AGAINST IT MR. HOLMES REMARKED THE INSPECTOR AS HE NOTED THE CLEVER WAY IN WHICH MY FRIEND HAD FORCED BACK THE CATCH </s>
<s> WELL I THINK THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE MAY ENTER WITHOUT AN INVITATION </s>
<s> ONE AFTER THE OTHER WE MADE OUR WAY INTO A LARGE APARTMENT WHICH WAS EVIDENTLY THAT IN WHICH MR. MELAS HAD FOUND HIMSELF </s>
<s> THE INSPECTOR HAD LIT HIS LANTERN AND BY ITS LIGHT WE COULD SEE THE TWO DOORS THE CURTAIN THE LAMP AND THE SUIT OF JAPANESE MAIL AS HE HAD DESCRIBED THEM </s>
<s> ON THE TABLE LAY TWO GLASSES AN EMPTY BRANDY BOTTLE AND THE REMAINS OF A MEAL </s>
<s> QUOTE WHAT IS THAT QUOTE ASKED HOLMES SUDDENLY </s>
<s> WE ALL STOOD STILL AND LISTENED </s>
<s> A LOW MOANING SOUND WAS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE OVER OUR HEADS </s>
<s> HOLMES RUSHED TO THE DOOR AND OUT INTO THE HALL </s>
<s> THE DISMAL NOISE CAME FROM UPSTAIRS </s>
<s> HE DASHED UP THE INSPECTOR AND I AT HIS HEELS WHILE HIS BROTHER MYCROFT FOLLOWED AS QUICKLY AS HIS GREAT BULK WOULD PERMIT </s>
<s> THREE DOORS FACED US UPON THE SECOND FLOOR AND IT WAS FROM THE CENTRAL OF THESE THAT THE SINISTER SOUNDS WERE ISSUING SINKING SOMETIMES INTO A DULL MUMBLE AND RISING AGAIN INTO A SHRILL WHINE </s>
<s> IT WAS LOCKED BUT THE KEY HAD BEEN LEFT ON THE OUTSIDE </s>
<s> HOLMES FLUNG OPEN THE DOOR AND RUSHED IN BUT HE WAS OUT AGAIN IN AN INSTANT WITH HIS HAND TO HIS THROAT </s>
<s> IT'S CHARCOAL HE CRIED </s>
<s> GIVE IT TIME </s>
<s> IT WILL CLEAR </s>
<s> PEERING IN WE COULD SEE THAT THE ONLY LIGHT IN THE ROOM CAME FROM A DULL BLUE FLAME WHICH FLICKERED FROM A SMALL BRASS TRIPOD IN THE CENTRE </s>
<s> IT THREW A LIVID UNNATURAL CIRCLE UPON THE FLOOR WHILE IN THE SHADOWS BEYOND WE SAW THE VAGUE LOOM OF TWO FIYURES WHICH CROUCHED AGAINST THE WALL </s>
<s> FROM THC OPEN DOOR THERE REEKED A HORRIBLE POISONOUS EXHALATION WHICH SET US GASPING AND COUGHING </s>
<s> HOLMES RUSHED TO THE TOP OF THE STAIRS TO DRAW IN THE FRESH AIR AND THEN DASHING INTO THE ROOM HE THREW UP THE WINDOW AND HURLED THE BRAZEN TRIPOD OUT INTO THE GARDEN </s>
<s> WE CAN ENTER IN A MINUTE HE GASPED DARTING OUT AGAIN </s>
<s> WHERE IS A CANDLE </s>
<s> I DOUBT IF WE COULD STRIKE A MATCH IN THAT ATMOSPHERE </s>
<s> HOLD THE LIGHT AT THE DOOR AND WE SHALL GET THEM OUT MYCROFT NOW QUOTE </s>
<s> WITH A RUSH WE GOT TO THE POISONED MEN AND DRAGGED THEM OUT INTO THE WELL LIT HALL </s>
<s> BOTH OF THEM WERE BLUE LIPPED AND INSENSIBLE WITH SWOLLEN CONGESTED FACES AND PROTRUDING EYES </s>
<s> INDEED SO DISTORTED WERE THEIR FEATURES THAT SAVE FOR HIS BLACK BEARD AND STOUT FIGURE WE MIGHT HAVE FAILED TO RECOGNIZE IN ONE OF THEM THE GREEK INTERPRETER WHO HAD PARTED FROM US ONLY A FEW HOURS BEFORE AT THE DIOGENES CLUB </s>
<s> HIS HANDS AND FEET WERE SECURELY STRAPPED TOGETHER AND HE BORE OVER ONE EYE THE MARKS OF A VIOLENT BLOW </s>
<s> THE OTHER WHO WAS SECURED IN A SIMILAR FASHION WAS A TALL MAN IN THE LAST STAGE OF EMACIATION WITH SEVERAL STRIPS OF STICKING PLASTER ARRANGED IN A GROTESQUE PATTERN OVER HIS FACE </s>
<s> HE HAD CEASED TO MOAN AS WE LAID HIM DOWN AND A GLANCE SHOWED ME THAT FOR HIM AT LEAST OUR AID HAD COME TOO LATE </s>
<s> MR. MELAS HOWEVER STILL LIVED AND IN LESS THAN AN HOUR WITH THE AID OF AMMONIA AND BRANDY I HAD THE SATISFACTION OF SEEING HIM OPEN HIS EYES AND OF KNOWING THAT MY HAND HAD DRAWN HIM BACK FROM THAT DARK VALLEY IN WHICH ALL PATHS MEET </s>
<s> IT WAS A SIMPLE STORY WHICH HE HAD TO TELL AND ONE WHICH DID BUT CONFIRM OUR OWN DEDUCTIONS </s>
<s> HIS VISITOR ON ENTERING HIS ROOMS HAD DRAWN A LIFE PRESERVER FROM HIS SLEEVE AND HAD SO IMPRESSED HIM WITH THE FEAR OF INSTANT AND INEVITABLE DEATH THAT HE HAD KIDNAPPED HIM FOR THE SECOND TIME </s>
<s> INDEED IT WAS ALMOST MESMERIC THE EFFECT WHICH THIS GIGGLING RUFFIAN HAD PRODUCED UPON THE UNFORTUNATE LINGUIST FOR HE COULD NOT SPEAK OF HIM SAVE WITH TREMBLING HANDS AND A BLANCHED CHEEK </s>
<s> HE HAD BEEN TAKEN SWIFTLY TO BECKENHAM AND HAD ACTED AS INTERPRETER IN A SECOND INTERVIEW EVEN MORE DRAMATIC THAN THE FIRST IN WHICH THE TWO ENGLISHMEN HAD MENACED THEIR PRISONER WITH INSTANT DEATH IF HE DID NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR DEMANDS </s>
<s> FINALLY FINDING HIM PROOF AGAINST EVERY THREAT THEY HAD HURLED HIM BACK INTO HIS PRISON AND AFTER REPROACHING MELAS WITH HIS TREACHERY WHICH APPEARED FROM THE NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENT THEY HAD STUNNED HIM WITH A BLOW FROM A STICK AND HE REMEMBERED NOTHING MORE UNTIL HE FOUND US BENDING OVER HIM </s>
<s> AND THIS WAS THE SINGULAR CASE OF THE GRECIAN INTERPRETER THE EXPLANATION OF WHICH IS STILL INVOLVED IN SOME MYSTERY </s>
<s> WE WERE ABLE TO FIND OUT BY COMMUNICATING WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO HAD ANSWERED THE ADVERTISEMENT THAT THE UNFORTUNATE YOUNG LADY CAME OF A WEALTHY GRECIAN FAMILY AND THAT SHE HAD BEEN ON A VISIT TO SOME FRIENDS IN ENGLAND </s>
<s> WHILE THERE SHE HAD MET A YOUNG MAN NAMED HAROLD LATIMER WHO HAD ACQUIRED AN ASCENDENCY OVER HER AND HAD EVENTUALLY PERSUADED HER TO FLY WITH HIM </s>
<s> HER FRIENDS SHOCKED AT THE EVENT HAD CONTENTED THEMSELVES WITH INFORMING HER BROTHER AT ATHENS AND HAD THEN WASHED THEIR HANDS OF THE MATTER </s>
<s> THE BROTHER ON HIS ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND HAD IMPRUDENTLY PLACED HIMSELF IN THE POWER OF LATIMER AND OF HIS ASSOCIATE WHOSE NAME WAS WILSON KEMP A MAN OF THE FOULEST ANTECEDENTS </s>
<s> THESE TWO FINDING THAT THROUGH HIS IGNORANCE OF THE LANGUAGE HE WAS HELPLESS IN THEIR HANDS HAD KEPT HIM A PRISONER AND HAD ENDEAVOURED BY CRUELTY AND STARVATION TO MAKE HIM SIGN AWAY HIS OWN AND HIS SISTER'S PROPERTY </s>
<s> THEY HAD KEPT HIM IN THE HOUSE WITHOUT THE GIRL'S KNOWLEDGE AND THE PLASTER OVER THE FACE HAD BEEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF MAKING RECOGNITION DIFFICULT IN CASE SHE SHOULD EVER CATCH A GLIMPSE OF HIM </s>
<s> HER FEMININE PERCEPTIONS HOWEVER HAD INSTANTLY SEEN THROUGH THE DISGUISE WHEN ON THE OCCASION OF THE INTERPRETER'S VISIT SHE HAD SEEN HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME </s>
<s> THE POOR GIRL HOWEVER WAS HERSELF A PRISONER FOR THERE WAS NO ONE ABOUT THE HOUSE EXCEPT THE MAN WHO ACTED AS COACHMAN AND HIS WIFE BOTH OF WHOM WERE TOOLS OF THE CONSPIRATORS </s>
<s> FINDING THAT THEIR SECRET WAS OUT AND THAT THEIR PRISONER WAS NOT TO BE COERCED THE TWO VILLAINS WITH THE GIRL HAD FLED AWAY AT A FEW HOURS' NOTICE FROM THE FURNISHED HOUSE WHICH THEY HAD HIRED HAVING FIRST AS THEY THOUGHT TAKEN VENGEANCE BOTH UPON THE MAN WHO HAD DEFIED AND THE ONE WHO HAD BETRAYED THEM </s>
<s> MONTHS AFTERWARDS A CURIOUS NEWSPAPER CUTTING REACHED US FROM BUDA PESTH </s>
<s> IT TOLD HOW TWO ENGLISHMEN WHO HAD BEEN TRAVELLING WITH A WOMAN HAD MET WITH A TRAGIC END </s>
<s> THEY HAD EACH BEEN STABBED IT SEEMS AND THE HUNGARIAN POLICE WERE OF OPINION THAT THEY HAD QUARRELLED AND HAD INFLICTED MORTAL INJURIES UPON EACH OTHER </s>
<s> HOLMES HOWEVER IS I FANCY OF A DIFFERENT WAY OF THINKING AND HE HOLDS TO THIS DAY THAT IF ONE COULD FIND THE GRECIAN GIRL ONE MIGHT LEARN HOW THE WRONGS OF HERSELF AND HER BROTHER CAME TO BE AVENGED </s>
