There’s also dictation, which does a fairly good job of transcribing your voice into text.

You, sir, are to Holmesian audio as Jeremy Brett is to Holmesian film; the definitive voice of Sherlock himself.

Also, my employer can relate: "I know very well that he could better himself and earn twice what I am able to give him. But, after all, if he is satisfied, why should I put ideas in his head?"

Extremely well read and a great listening pleasure. Thanks very much for sharing.

Honestly, you are the best narrator of British classics ever heard!!! Would you consider perhaps any of South Sea Stories by W. Somerset Maugham? Many of those are quite gripping and today's audience is probably unaware of them. I can see you doing a masterful job of Maugham and Kipling. Thank you so much for these. I have been reading them for more than 40 years, and now I can just listen to them back to back. It's like eating potato chips....quite addictive. Edit: you know, I think I've changed my mind. i just reread South Sea Stories....too depressing for these times; maybe just the Kipling :).

Wonderful story, wonderfully read. I did, however, pick up a mistake Conan Doyle made with regard to the timeframe of the story. At the very beginning of the story, Watson mentions that he visited Holmes in autumn. However, the date of the newspaper advertisement for the Red Headed League is April 27, which Watson comments was two months earlier. So the conversation is happening in early summer, not autumn.

*Salem Saberhagen:* _(as Holmes)_ Hold on a moment. He pulled your hair? *Jabez Wilson:* Yes, Mr. Holmes. *Salem:* _(guffawing)_ Oh, that's a classic! Wish I'd been there! Heck, I could have Watson do it right now and then pay you for your pains! _(laughs even louder)_ "Pains!" *Watson:* _(narrating)_ Our client was so incensed that he drew himself from the chair and stared down at Holmes like a schoolmaster ready to administer the rod. *Wilson:* How about I pay Dr. Watson here to give a good tug at your tail, Mr. Holmes? Wouldn't _that_ be more amusing? *Salem:* Well, nuts to you, bub. He's my biographer. And I happen to be protected by the Humane Society. Now sit down and resume your story.

A very specific hue for a human head. The list of possible reds is very funny... It's perhaps in my top 3 stories.

Good evening everyone, some months ago, I wrote a comment asking help to find a story, I got some answers but no one can identify it, so I decided to listen to all the stories in order to find it. Here I am, 6 months later and I did not find it!!! I am truly starting to think that I dream this and it doesnt actually exist!!! It starts describing a very cold and foggy day, sherlock its at the basement making a lot of noise and watson is reading something, then at dinner sherlock tells watson something about a very important experiment (something about bullets being fired, i think) and tells him that if he wants to know about this he must promise to stay at home and not talk to anyone, watson accepts this and sherlock goes back to the basement; then in the middle of the nigth a friend of watson arrives at the house and ask him to receive him. Thats the part where I always felt asleep. If anyone can help me with this I will be forever grateful!!! I am sure that im not creative enough to dream the story by myself but I listened to all the stories here, even the pastiches and I CAN NOT FOUND IT, maybe I dont remember correctly or I dont know... help please!!

@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio When Watson remarks that Holmes is the benefactor of the human race, Holmes replies with a quote. He shrugged his shoulders. “Well, perhaps, after all, it is of some little use,” he remarked. “ ‘L'homme c'est rien-l'oeuvre c'est tout,' as Gustave Flaubert wrote to George Sand.” (p. 18) This is a paraphrase of a famous quote in French which basically translates to: The man is nothing, the work is everything. This quote is intended to demonstrate Holmes’s lack of desire for the spotlight. The puzzle is what matters to him. My life is spent in one long effort to escape from the commonplaces of existence. These little problems help me to do so. (p. 18) Thus Holmes solves cases not to be famous or help others, but to avoid being bored.
