Holmes speaks of thinking about getting into a box in order to concentrate his thoughts. Sounds like sensory deprivation to me. It might be a good way to reduce distractions, but I'd be worried about Moriarty mailing the box to Timbuktu, or throwing it off Reichenbach falls or something.

I am an absolute Holmes addict and know the stories well but I have never heard them read so perfectly. Greg your wonderfully emotive readings are not like listening to a story but instead like being in the room with literatures finest ever creations. The last couple of years have been an awful time for me and you have been key in helping me through the dark times thank you so so much with all my heart

It is now impossible to listen to anyone else narrating Sherlock Holmes stories. It just does not compare to any you have done. Simply brilliant. I am sad that I have nearly finished listening to them all. :(

For variety I do listen to other stories with different readers, but none measure up to you, Mr Wagland. Christopher Lee is good and of course Vincent Price, but you get the Oscar if they would give them for narration. This Holmes story based itself in a curious little scam. Doyle was genius I. His writing.

This is one of my favourite Sherlock stories. Beautifully read thank you 💕

Love all the readings on Mr Wagland’s channel. But as a side note I always find it counterintuitive when I hear the British pronunciation of “clerk” as “Clark” lol. To me it doesn’t even seem like the way the word should be pronounced when accounting for the accent differences.

Well now, that was unexpected. I never thought The Stockbroker's Clerk would end that way. But indeed, you know the old saying. Give a guy enough rope and he'll hang himself.

Presumably Britishers a hundred or more years ago could understand the Cockney slang in the first part of this story. Or even Britishers today. But not the rest of us! No idea what this character is talking about.

*Watson:* _(narrating)_ [Pinner] looked at his clerk as though he failed to recognize him, then raised his eyebrows at Holmes, who searched avariciously for any sign of the golden tooth.

For God’s sake, keep that cat away from- *Watson:* _(narrating)_ He gave such a violent sneeze that he practically flew backwards of the the room, pulling a door at the farther end of the room toward him.

Normally, the Sherlock Holmes stories by A.C.D. do make some sense, usually after the "plot" is revealed by Holmes at the end of the story {Such as: "The Red-Headed League" and "Silver Blaze"}, but not this one. What a mumbled/tumbled mass of confusion. I have never read nor heard of this one {"The Stockbroker's Clerk"} before today. A.C. Doyle must have needed some quick rent money. {[ The reading was not the problem; it was the twisted story. ]}

Did Hall Pycroft still manage to get a job as a clerk after all? I feel rather sorry for this poor man.

David - yes we know they wouldn’t have used an American accent. But I also wouldn’t have taken the standard British pronunciation of that word to be “Clark”. By that logic the word “jerk” would sound like “jark”

As it's written - 'clerk' - you'd think that it would be pronounced 'CLURK'. However they - he folk - have managed to come up with something that could fool the absent-minded into thinking he or she must have heard - or spelled - it wrong. How? When? How! Can this be .. " CLARK " ?
