THE PRINCE'S LETTERS
0:01:37
The Crown Prince, heir apparent to the throne of a large empire, wrote indiscreet letters to a young woman who later died of a broken heart.
On her deathbed, the wronged girl gave the letters to her sister, Alice Faulkner, for safekeeping.
Count von Stalburg, the Prince's private secretary, and Sir Edward Palmer, a high-ranking British official, have been charged with retrieving the letters.

0:16:32
FIXME: James Larrabee? Madge Larrabee? Sid?
"Quiet! Someone is at the door!"
0:17:00
James Larrabee
"See who it is."
0:17:27
Madge Larrabee
"A tall, thin man… about forty, with a smooth face… wearing a long coat and carrying an ebony cane…"
0:17:38
FIXME: James Larrabee? Sid?
"Damnation! It's Sherlock Holmes! He must be here for the letters."
0:18:16
James Larrabee
"If he leaves with them, crack him on the head with this and grab the letters."
0:19:57
Sherlock Holmes
"I have just sent my card to Miss Alice Faulkner."
0:20:12
Madge Larrabee

A piano that has not been touched for a long time.

And a safe that was forced open not five minutes ago.
0:22:56

Sherlock Holmes
"My dear child, if you are no longer happy here, you will find a good position at this address."

Sherlock Holmes
0:24:48
Sherlock Holmes
"I thank you very much for consenting to see me, Miss Faulkner, but regret that you were put to the trouble of making such a rapid change of dress."
0:25:29
Sherlock Holmes
"Would Miss Faulkner be so kind as to play something of which I am particuarly fond?"
0:26:13
Sid
"No one rang for you!"
0:26:20
Sherlock Holmes
"Please forgive me, but it was I who rang in order to learn why no one has given my card to the true Miss Faulkner."
0:26:35
Sherlock Holmes
"You are resorting to trickery. Deliver my card to Miss Faulkner at once!"
