This moment is always our favorite with LEP. Every case is a walk in the park. Nothing is a threat to Sherlock. One clue is all it takes. Solving the mystery is easy breezy.

I have that feeling when I know this story almost by heart (I read it in Russian as a child, in English in my youth, and I watched the magnificent Soviet film adaptation several times), but I understand that I am still going to listen to Luke until the very end, until his notorious "Goodbye, bye, bye, bye...".

I love Sherlock Holmes stories.
Thank you very much Luke.

You are such a great narrator! Your expression adds more life to my imagination while listening to the story. Even a simple story turns into a great one. It’s not a panegyric It's a fact.

Sherlock is back ❤ My day is rescued! 😍

Thank you, Luke, for the amazing performance and explanations. By the way, I'd like to mention a couple of discrepancies in Mr. Conan Doyle's story. Snakes can't move down the rope, and it's also strange that the poor young lady couldn't say she was bitten by someone (a human usually feels even a mosquito's touch).

Thank you Luke for another classic story!!

[Elena-twou]
