Another great Sherlock. It is amazing how Conan Doyle could weave such twisting and brilliant stories. And of course Mr. Wagland is an equally brilliant reader. Thank you!

Is this how South African people of English descent speak? Graeme Smith, Shaun Pollock, and Whackhead Simpson sound pretty different - something between a UK and an Australian accent. The names of characters seem to be of English origin. I am Indian, not South African, but I think that the characters have been force fitted with an Afrikaans accent when they're obviously of English descent. Ps: I love all your work, the effort you put in, and the authenticity quite well. You did Indian accents quite well in the Sign of the four.

I am SO thrilled to find your narrations! My commute to work is no longer a drudge. Now the only bad part is when I get so lost in the story that I miss my train stop! 😊

Ah, there are many a boss scene in this tale! Sherlock completely destroying Woodley in the pub! And, of course, when he took everyone’s guns and took full control over the situation. Truly a master at his trade~

I have a desire to hear you every night. 😉 if I may be so bold to ask if you have ever thought of reading for sleep meditation. Your voice is really beautiful especially before bed. As I suffer from insomnia you lead me to the edge of sleep and i wake up and it's morning. Thank you so much. ☺

I'm currently reading along in my Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 2.

This tale is one of the scariest for me having been in a similar situation before. It's sad we live in a world where circumstances from the late 1800s can still be felt today. 💔

Shrubbery always plays a part in the stories.

@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio my word!

*Watson:* _(narrating)_ Holmes’s quiet day in the country had a singular termination, for he arrived at Baker Street late in the evening with a large ice pack on his forehead, besides a general air of dissipation which would have made his own person the fitting object of a Scotland Yard investigation. *Salem Saberhagen:* _(as Holmes)_ We had got as far as this when who should walk in but good old Mr. Woodley, who had been drinking his beer in the taproom and had heard the whole conversation. Who was I? What did I want? What did I mean by asking blah, blah, blah? Quite big language he used back there; his adjectives were very... um, _vigorous._ He ended a string of abuse by a vicious stomp to the loose floorboard I was on, catapulting me into the ceiling. The next few minutes were delicious. It was a slogging ruffian against a scratchy little ball of fur, and I don't mean the itchy kind. I emerged as you see me. Mr. Woodley went home with bandages running from noggin to neck. _(one of his catchphrases)_ He-he-he...

It's easy to forget, having been somewhat annoyed at the rarefied class atmosphere of these stories, how natural they are for the gentry and what a break for all those living in poverty.

Back to reality ❣️.

Your south african accent is amazing!

Okay. If you are reading this before you watch, didn't the heroine in her initial interview say her S African Uncle was Cyril? And at the end the telegram read Ralph? Just wondering if I am daft or not.
