TAB vs. The Naval treaty
The Naval Treaty “Miss Harrison,” said Holmes, speaking with the utmost intensity of manner, “you must stay where you are all day. Let nothing prevent you from staying where you are all day. It is of the utmost importance.” “Certainly, if you wish it, Mr. Holmes,” said the girl in astonishment. “When you go to bed lock the door of this room on the outside and keep the key. Promise to do this.” “But Percy?” “He will come to London with us.” “And am I to remain here?” “It is for his sake. You can serve him. Quick! Promise!” She gave a quick nod of assent just as the other two came up. “Why do you sit moping there, Annie?” cried her brother. “Come out into the sunshine!” “No, thank you, Joseph. I have a slight headache and this room is deliciously cool and soothing."
TAB HOLMES: Will you see that Lady Carmichael receives this? (He hands him the note.) HOLMES: Thank you. Good afternoon. FOOTMAN: Yes, sir. (Holmes and Watson walk on.) WATSON: What was that? HOLMES: Lady Carmichael will sleep alone tonight, on the pretence of a violent headache. All the doors and windows of the house will be locked.
