Who would ever associate crime with those dear old homes? They always tell me with a certain

2:07horror. It might believe Watson that the lowest and vileest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling of beautiful countryside. No man, you are the hidden face of crime better than my friend Sherlock Holmes. My name is Dr. Watson and it was my privilege to share the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I will tell you about the case of the couple of beaches. It began as so often with a letter. It made Holmes wonder laugh at first. But soon he was to take it seriously and you will see why it's just a moment. Well, it looks as though I touched the bottom of my life. This note I had this morning marks my zero point identity. Yeah, read it. I must have home that very anxious consult was to whether I should or should not accept

3:10the situation has been offered to me as governor. I shall call it hoppers 10 tomorrow if I do it inconvenient. Do you all speak for me? Violet Hunter, did you know the young lady? Fuck I. Oh, the note was written yesterday. It's a hoppers 10 now. Yes, and I have no doubt that it's her ring. Yes, well, little Hunter. But our dog forbid it to be resolved for her unless I much mistaken You will excuse my problem, you I hope, Mr. Holmes. I should be happy to do anything I can, Mr. Hunter. Say take a seat. This is my friend and colleague, Dr. Watson. How'd you do? How do you do, Dr. Watson? Well, Mr. Holmes, I think I should explain that I have had a very strange experience. And if I have no parents or relatives of any sort, but whom I could ask advice, I thought that they had you would be kind enough to tell me what I should do.

4:13A strange experience? I have been a governor for five years, but my employer recently took an appointment abroad, and I found myself without a situation. I had petized, and I answered the participants, but I had no success. Then the little money I'd saved began to run short. I was at my wit then, what to do. There is a well-known agency for governors in the West End, called Westways. Now used to call there about once a week. The manager, Mr. Chopper, sits in her own little office, and the lady who are seeking employment's weight in an angle. They'll show me in one by one, and Mr. Chopper consults her ledges and sees whether she had anything to shoot them. Well, when I called last week, I was showing to the office as usual, but I found that Mr. Chopper was not alone. Ah, this one will do. I could not ask for anything better, Mr. Chopper.

5:15Mr. Chopper, Mr. Chopper, sit down, Mr. Chopper, please. This is Mr. Roo, Mr. Chopper. Thank you. You are looking for a situation with? Yes. As governors? Yes. And what's that, Ray? Do you ask? In my last visit with Colonel Stence Monroe, I had four pounds of money. Oh, come, come. Sweating, rank, sweating. How could anyone offer such a pitiful assam to a lady with such attraction and accomplishments? My accomplishments, sir, may be less than you imagine. A little French, a little German, music, and drawing. Now, this is all type of type of depression. The point is, I have with the bearing and the profit of the lady. There it is in that shell. If you have not, you are not fitted for the rearing of a child who may someday say a considerable part in the history of the country. But if you have, well, then how could any gentleman ask you to condescend to accept anything under free stinger?

6:16Your salary with me, madam, would commence at a hundred pounds a year. It is also my custom to advance to my young lady's half-bear salary beforehand, so they may meet in a little expenses of their journey and their wardrobe. May I ask, where are you, mister? A half-show, charming rural place, at the copper beaches, five miles on the far side of Winchester. It is the dearest old country house. And my duty, sir. A one-child, one dear little romper, just six-year-old, though. My third duty, sir, ought to take charge of a single child. No, no, no, not for so. Not for so, my dear young lady. Your duty would be, as I am sure, your good sense would suggest, to obey in a little command, provided always that there was such a lady might with propriety obey, and which I, on my wife, my skill. Your wife?

7:17I should be happy to make myself useful, of course. Quite so. We are fatty people, you know. A fatty, that's kindhearted. In dress now, for example, if you were asked to wear any dress, which we might give you, you would not object to our little film. Why? No, sir. Or to sit here? Or sit there? That would not be offensive to you. No. Or to cut your long hair quite short before you can do it. My hair? Oh, no, sir. It was not my hair. I'm afraid that is quite impossible. Well, I'm afraid it's quite essential. Give a little fancy of my wife, and made his fancy, so you know about him. A lady's fancy must be contested. And so you wouldn't cut your hair? No, sir. I really could not. Very well. And I kept my sofa head best inspector few more of your young ladies.

8:19Very well, Mr. Rulkowski. Sometimes, are you desired on them to be kept upon our books? If you please. Well, there it seems, Robert. You've trusted to refuse the most excellent offers in this fashion. You can have the expected to exert our serve to find another opening for you. Good day, Miss Hunter. Yes, have a long now. Well, Mr. Herb, when I got back to my lodging, and found little enough in the cupboard and two or three bills on the table, I began to ask myself whether I had not done a foolish thing. After all, if these people had strange thoughts, they were at least ready to pay for their eccentricity, but if your governance is in England, I'll get in a hunger the year. That's why, what use was my hair to me? By the day after next, I had almost overcome my price to go back to the agency when I received this letter from the gentleman himself.

9:22Mr. Herb has kindly given me all the rest, that I write on the copper beaches to ask you whether you have lead considered your decision. And my wife has seen much affected by my description of you, which is very anxious, but you should cut. We are willing to give 120 pounds per year, and serve to recognize for any little inconvenience which are bad, and they cause. They are very exacting of true, and your duties with the child are very light. As regards your hair, there is no doubt of fitting, but I am afraid the times remain firm upon this point. Now do try and come, try to meet you with the dog's heart every day. That is the letter I have just received for home, and my mind has made up that I will accept. But I thought that before taking the final step, I should like to submit the whole matter to your consideration. I confess it is not the situation which I should like to see as this to remind the plightful.

10:22Very much so, my dear, it will mean no. I have no data, I cannot go. Perhaps this hunter has gone some of these. Well, Mr. O'Calfa seemed a kind man. It is not possible that he devised the illunatic, and that for those who shall be taken to an asylum, he shall assume of her to prevent an outbreak. As matters stand, that is the most probable solution. But in any case, it doesn't seem to be a very nice asylum for young lady. That's the money, Mr. Holmes. The money. It's too good. That's what makes me uneasy. There must be some strong reason for offering you 120 pounds and they could have that big for 40. Oh, I feel that too. So I thought, if I told you the circumstances, you would understand afterwards if I wanted your help. I should feel so much stronger if I felt that you were at the back of me. Oh, you may carry that feeling away with you. I assure you that your little problem promises to be the most interesting that it will come my way for some month.

11:24Now, if you should find yourself in doubt or danger, what danger do you foresee? If it ceased to be a danger, if we could define it. Well, now that I have spoken to you, I shall write to Mr. O'Calfa. That provides my poor hair to night and start the weekest of tomorrow. And don't forget, at any time, day or night, a telegram would bring me down here. What? Listen to this. Well, please be at Black Spawn Hotel with just a midday tomorrow. Do come at my witch's end, Hunter. So, it's taken me just a fourth night to find she needs my help again. No, look up between the walls. Will you come with me? I shall do. Capital, then I suggest we turn in at once. We shall need to deal our best to the wall. How much further do you go?

12:24Good. Good. Good. Who would have resisted crime with those dear old homesteads? They always still need with a certain horror. It might be Lee Watson, founded upon experience I may add, that the lowest and vileest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than thus the smiling and beautiful countryside. If the reason is very obvious, the pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law can of the country. There is no alleys so vile that the scream of a tortured child doesn't forget some sympathy and indignation among the neighbours. And one word of complaint can set the whole machinery of justice going. No, I don't know. But look at these lonely houses. Each in it don't feel. They're filled for the worst part with horror England, so to know little of the law. Think of the deeds that kill each of us. The hidden wickedness which may go on year

13:26and year out in such places and not the wisest. Have this lady who appeals to us to help conflict in which I should never have had a dear brother. Now, it's the five miles of country that we face with this. Still, if he can come into windows of the meters, she has her freedom. Right, sir? Can we do the mess? Can we guess no explanation? I have devised seven separate explanations. Each of them would cover the facts as far as we know them. For which of them is correct and only be determined for the fresh information that we shall not find waiting for us at the next one? Ah! There is the dove at the vehicle. I thought he'd leave to come this time this morning. He'll be looking you for what, turquoise. Okay, let us have everything in its due order, this hunter. Well, in the first place, I must say that I have met on the whole

14:27no actual ill treatment for Mr. and Mrs. O'Carcer. But I'm not easy in my mind about them. I can't understand them. What can you not understand? The reason for their conduct, but you shall have it just as it occurred. When I came down, Mr. O'Carcer met me here and drove me in his dog cart to Copper Beach. Yes. I was introduced at ease into his wife and child. I doubt that Mr. and Mrs. O'Carcer have been married about seven years. He was a widower, and he's only child by his first wife with a daughter, who is now in Philadelphia. As she couldn't have been less than 20, I can quite imagine that her position must have been uncomfortable with her father's young new wife. Yes, indeed. As for Mrs. O'Carcer, I now know that there was no truth in our conjecture in your room that beg her feet. She is not mad. I found her to be a mere non-entity, with colorless in mind as she isn't featured.

15:28The husband is kind to her, but she seems to have some secret sorrow. So? The one unpleasant thing about the house, which struck me at once, was the appearance and manner of the Truncervant, a man of his wife. Taller, as he calls, is a rough, uncouth man with a perpetual smell of drink. His wife is tall and strong and very sour. And that the entire household? Yes. Or except for color. Color? Mr. O'Carcer introduced me to him on my first evening, then. Henry Brighton? He's well tied up. It's only color, my master. But I call him mine, but rarely old Taller, because the only one who can do anything with him. We feast him once a day, and not too much, then, so he's always keen as mustard. Taller lets him loose every night, and heaven helps the trespasser he lays.

16:28This is fangs into him. Oh, and for goodness sake, Miss Hunter, don't you ever, on any pretext, that you're put over the threshold at night? It is as much as your life is worth, if you do. Very direct warning, you know, idle bonnet entry. But pray, Miss Hunter, continue your narrative. For two days, after my arrival, my life was very quiet. On the third, Mrs. Newcastle came down to Dr. Brighton, and whispered in her heart from the air. I, yes, to be sure. And, Miss Hunter, and my wife reminds me to say how much we are obliged to you for falling in with our winds so far as to cut your hair. And the effect is charming, my dear. It is nice of you to say so. I assure you, it has not attracted the tiniest diota from your appearance. And now we shall see how a change of dress will become you.

17:29If you will kindly go up to your room, you will find one lady out ready on your bed. It belongs to my dear daughter, Alice, who's now in Philadelphia. It should fit you very well. Charming, simply charming. Might have been made to measure, Aida. A perfect fit. I was surprised to see how way it's teaching me. Perfect. And I was trying to be good enough to take the chair over there, the one with its back to the center window. Wendy, now there my dear, you have the same thought of Miss Hunter for a little while, so we... And they say they are talking for about an hour, Mr. Holmes. Mr. Rookhaw's such an extremely funny story. Still funny that I laughed while I was tired. The odd thing was though, that Mrs. Rookhaw's from never too much has smiled at them. Then, her husband suddenly remarked that I'm out changed by this

18:32and go about my daily duty. Well, two days later, the same thing happened. When it had me laughing help to clear his stories for a while, my employer handed me a novel, moved my chair aside with one side, and asked me to read to him. I read for about ten minutes, and then suddenly in the middle of a sentence, he ordered me to stop and go and change my dress. I hope, Mr. Holmes, you don't find my story too practical. I'm glad of the full details, whether they seem to you to be relevant or not. But I shall try not to miss anything of importance. You can imagine how curious I became after the meaning of this extraordinary performance. For one thing, I noticed that they were always very careful to turn my face away from the window. I became confused with the desire to see what was going on behind my back. Then, a happy thought seized me. My hand mirror had been broken, but I can see the small piece of the glass in my handkerchief court.

19:35On the next occasion, in the midst of the laughter, I put my handkerchief up to my eyes, and was able with a little management to see all of there was behind me. That was the bed? There was a man standing outside in the Southampton road. He was sore, but he had a beard. There were several avid, but this one appeared to be looking earnest in my direction. However, when I lowered my handkerchief, I found Mrs. Rucosso's eyes also fixed on me. She said nothing, but I'm convinced that she knew I have a mirror in my hand. She rose at once. Yes, sir. Yes, sir, my dear. There has been a person who fell a lot on the verge, bearing up at Mrs. Hunter. Really? A friend of Mrs. Hunter, did I? I know. No one in these parts, sir. No, dear me. A very important event. Find the turn round and wave him away, like this. Surely it will be better to take you notice.

20:36No, we should have him right here always. Exactly. A kindly turn round Mrs. Hunter, and motion him to go away. Did he well? Is that all you have to tell us before? Or missed all of us to hunt?

I have noticed that one wing of the Gulf of Beaches appears to be quite uninhabited. Oh, when I saw Thomas come from there yesterday and forget to take the key after the partition door, I slipped in, could clear enough. I found a little passage with three doors in the line. Two of them would open. The central one was closed and filled with an iron bar and padlock. My nerves failed me suddenly. I turned them around, forced them to the arms of Mr. Rooker. So it was you then? Well, I'm still frightened. And what has frightened you, my dear young lady? It's so brittle, it's still in there. It's so lonely and eerie. Only that. Why? What do you mean?

23:39Why do you imagine I locked the door to this wing? What? I'm sure I don't know that. It's to keep our people who have no business here. Do you see now? Oh, I'm sure if I have no knowledge. Well then, you know now. And if you ever put your foot over that threshold again, I'll throw you to the last step. Remember that, Miss? After that, I suppose I could have fled the house. But I must confess, my curiosity remained as strong as my fear. By the time I had sent you a wire to home, I felt much easier. I had no difficulty getting leave to come here this morning, but I must get back by three. This room, Mrs. Rucarsle, are going on a visit early this evening, and I have to look after the child. That is well. What about Connor and his wife? I heard his wife telling Mrs. Rucarsle that he's strung himself into in capability. She can do nothing with him.

24:39Careful. Now, he's going to sell over the good, strong love. Yes, the wine seller. You think he could perform one more feat? I will try. Dr. Watson and I will be at the couple of each's by seven of the trouble. The Rucarsle's will be out by then? Yes. Yes, the dollar should still be in capability. Now, the only remains, Mrs. Toler. If you could send her into the cellar and some errand and then turn the key on her, you would facilitate matters immensely. I will do it. Excellent. Watson. Yes, sir? I trust you have your revolver. Go to hell. There's only one feasible explanation for this business and it's clear that they're dealing with a very coming man. Better well than this hunter. We shall meet you at the top of each's at seven o'clock. Help! Please help! Please help! Help! Have you managed it? Yes. Mrs. Toler, something to be let out. Toler is so naughty on the kitchen, lad.

25:39Here are his keys. Well done. Now, lead the way and we shall soon see the end of this black business. This is the lock, Watson. One of these keys must set the lock. Low sound from inside. I trust they're not too late. Ah, this is the lock. No one here. Rue castle is justness hunter's intentions and carriage is victim of. Yes, but how? Through that skylight. Because you'll find that high humidity? Yes. Yes, I can just see the end of the ladder. It's these. But why should he leave? I tell you, he's a clever dangerous man. Holmes, someone's coming. Watson, have your pistol ready?

26:41Sir, I've got you, have I? Dylan. Where's your daughter? Just for me to ask you that, you thieves? Spies and thieves? For you? I don't have my power. I'll serve you. He comes for the dog. I have my rubber. We better get downstairs and curse the dog. Great, have mercy, buddy. Quickly, Watson. Go in the finish that Bruce. Right. Don't be bothered. Well, Rue castle will live, but in real. They let us hear what Mrs. Tuller has to tell us. It's clear to me that she knows more about this method than anyone else. I've done say before now, but it's got to have that stellar. Oh, Mrs. Tissue, but I didn't know what you was planning.

27:44Although I told you, you're wasting your time. How could I know? Very, Mrs. Tuller, let us hear it. The rest of her points on which I must confess I'm still in the dark. Well, she was never happy at home, wasn't she, Sally? After he married again. You will refer to Rue castle daughter? Yes, sir. She wasn't happy. But things never got real bad for her. So she took up with Mr. Fowler. Mr. Fowler? A seashell agent from her. She met the friend Tuller. And Rue castle objected to the association. Well, it wasn't just that, sir. You see, Miss Ali took a lot of money of her own by her mother's will. And that seems to be a chance for her husband coming forward. Mr. Rue castle wants her to sign a paper, giving him control of the money, whether she married or not. When she wouldn't, he kept at her so much that she talked about running away. Ah, then I think I can deduce all that remains. Rue castle, I presume, took to this system of imprisonment. Yes, sir. Do you mean that Alice never went to Fowler down here? But Mr. Rue castle kept her locked up in that room. Yes, and had the ingenious idea of bringing you down from London to a personaker

28:44to give the watching Mr. Fowler the impression that she no longer wished to encourage her. The laughter on these occasions was to convey the appearance that you remained in good spirit and was under no compulsion of restraint. But then, where is Alice now? I presume, Mr. Fowler, being as trustworthy as a good seam, should be succeeded by certain arguments in convincing that lady that I interest for the same as his. Mr. Fowler was a very conspoken free-handed gentleman. Precisely. And in this way, he managed that your good men should have no one to drink, and that the lader should be ready at the moment for your master in Gelner. He suspected something and came back, like us, he was too late for his daughter. But what's wrong with him? Mr. Hunter, here comes the lady. I presume it to be Mrs. Rue castle. Our Lucas stand by now is rather a questionable one. I think we better make our way back to Winchester and say goodbye to the copper beaker forever. The case of the copper beaker was one of the stories of Sherlock Holmes by the Arthur Conan Doyle.
