Scene 1

Narrator :Hello, everybody!

Today we want to show you one of the stories about Sherlock Holmes and his friend Doctor Watson written by Arthur Conan Doyle. It is called “The second Spot”

Mrs. Hudson: Good morning, sir. There is a visitor to you.

(Подает ему визитку на подносе и уходит. Входит посетитель.)

Visitor: Good morning, Mister Holmes.

Holmes: Good morning, sir!

Visitor: Let me introduce myself.  My name is Trelony Hope. I’m the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Holmes: Glad to meet you, Mister Hope. What’s happened?

Visitor: You see, a very important letter disappeared from my portfolio.

Holmes: When did it happen?

Visitor: Oh, it was yesterday morning.

Holmes: Did anybody know about the letter?

Visitor: Nobody, even my wife.

Holmes: What colour was the envelope?

Visitor: It was blue with the red stamp. I ask you: find it  please, or the great war may begin soon.

Holmes: All right, I’ll try to do my best!

Visitor: Thank you very much. Good-bye! Let me know about the news, please!

(Посетитель уходит. Холмс обращается к Ватсону, читающему газету)

Holmes: A very strange affair I must say. I’ll have to meet with Edward Lucas.

Watson: You can’t do it, Holmes!

Holmes: Why?

Watson: Because yesterday night he was killed  in his apartment.

Holmes: Let me read it. (Читает газету):

“Yesterday night in Godolphin Street, 18 Mister Edward Lucas was killed in his house. His servants noticed that the entrance door was opened and called the police. The policeman found Edward Lucas on the carpet in the spot of blood. Nothing had been taken from the house. Lucas was well-known among the people. He was loved by them. Surely his death is a dreadful event and it will cause  a deep sympathy of his fans.”

(Входит Миссис Хадсон с визиткой на подносе)

Mrs. Hudson: Mister Holmes, there’s another visitor to you. Take the card, please!

(Входит Хильда Трелони)

Hilda: Good morning, Mister Holmes! I’m Mrs. Hilda Trelony, Mister Trelony Hope’s wife. Has my husband visited you, Mister Holmes?

Holmes: Yes, madam. He has.

Hilda: I beg you: don’t tell him about my visit!

Holmes: If you tell me why I won’t!

Hilda: I love my husband very much. But I know nothing about his affairs, he doesn’t tell me anything. Is it very dangerous for his carrier?

Holmes: Yes, madam, very much. And not for him only, but for the whole Britain. I can’t tell you anything more.

Hilda: Thank you, Mister Holmes. Please don’t tell my husband about my visit!

(Хильда уходит)

Holmes (обращаясь к Ватсону): Well, Watson , I am convinced that she is mixed in this  incident.

Scene 2.

Narrator:Three days passed. Holmes learned from “Daily Telegraph”, that some French woman Madam Anry Furnai got mad. Her neighbours witnessed that some days ago she went to London. There happened something that frightened her very much. It became clear that she was Mister Edward Lucas’s Wife and she was jealous of him greatly.

Holmes: Watson, I was in Lucas’s house and learned that after this accident some beautiful woman visited his house and it was Hilda Trelony. Besides I found an empty safe on the floor under the carpet. But the spot of blood was in the other place of the carpet. So now I am sure that it was Mrs. Hilda Trelony who took the letter from the portfolio. Let’s go to their house, Watson.

(Холмс и Ватсон приходят в дом Трелони.)

Holmes: Good evening, Mrs. Trelony!

Hilda: Good evening! Why did you come?

Holmes: Madam, tell me the truth or I can’t help you.

Hilda: But I have nothing to hide.

Holmes: It were you who took the letter.

Hilda: No! No! I can’t!

Holmes: Hurry up, Madam. Mister Trelony will come soon!

Hilda: Oh, God!  Edward Lucas blackmailed me and I had to do it!

Holmes: Give me the letter, Madam! Where is the portfolio?

Hilda: Here it is!

(Холмс берет письмо и кладет его в портфель. Входит Мистер Трелони.)

Holmes: Good evening, Mister Trelony!

Visitor: Good evening, Mister Holmes! What’s the news?

Holmes: Well, Mister Trelony. I’ve come to a decision, that the letter was not stolen.

Visitor: How can it be?

Holmes: Look into your portfolio once more thoroughly!

(Трелони смотрит в бумаги портфеля и находит письмо)

Visitor: It’s impossible! It’s incredible! It can’t be so! Thank you very much, Mister Holmes! How could you know?

Holmes: Oh, it’s a secret of diplomacy!
