[01:20]The case begins
[01:24]The September sun was shining brightly into the windws of 221B Baker Street
[01:30]and London was enjoying a beautiful late summer
[01:35]I had finished my breakfast and was reading the newspaper
[01:39] As usually
[01:40]Holmes had got up late,and was eating
[01:44]We were expecting a visitor at half past ten
[01:47]and I wondered whether Holmes would finish his breakfast before our visitor arrived
[01:53]Holmes was in no hurry
[01:56]He was reading once again a letter he had received three days ago
[02:01]It was from Dr James Mortimer
[02:04]Who asked for an apointment with holmes
[02:07]"Well, Wastson"Holmes said to me
[02:10]"I'm afraid that a doctor from Devonshire won't bring us anything of real interest
[02:16]His letter doesn't tell us anything about his business
[02:20]though he says it's very important.
[02:22]I hope we can help him."
[02:26]At exactly half past ten there was a knock on our front door
[02:30]“Good” said Holmes.
[02:33]"Dr Mortimer is clearly a man who will not waste our time."
[02:39]We stood up as our visitor was brought into the room
[02:43]"Good moring, gentlemen,"
[02:45]he said ,"I'm Dr James Mortimer, from Grimpen in Devonshire,
[02:52]and I think you must be Mr Sherlock Holmes.
[02:56] He shook hands with Holmes, who said:
[03:00]"How do you do,Dr Mortimer?
[03:00]May I introduce my good friend, Dr John Waston,
[03:06]Who helps me with my cases
[03:09]I hope you will allow him to listen to our conversation
[03:13]"Of course" said Mortimer, as he turned to me and shook hands,
[03:17]"I need  your help very badly, Mr Holmes.
[03:22]If it will be useful  for Dr  Waston to hear what I have to say,
[03:26]Please let him stay and listen."
[03:30]Mortimer did not look like a country doctor.
[03:34]He was very tall and thin.
[03:36]He had a long thin nose.
[03:39]His grey eyes were bright,
[03:41]and he wore gold glasses.
[03:43]His coat and trousers were old and worn.
[03:47]His face was young
[03:49]but his shoulders were bent like an old man's and his head was push forward.
[03:54]He took some papers from his pocked, and said:
[03:59]Mr Holmes, I need your help and advice.
[04:03]Something very strang and frightening has been happening."
[04:08]"Sit down, Dr Mortimer" Said Holmes, "and tell us your problem.
[04:14]I'll help you as I can."
