Captain Braunsfeld Posted March 24, 2023 (Still at South Cothelstone Hall) Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast quickly closes and locks the door to the room which Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat had entered. Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast (or is he?): (to himself) “That was easy!” “That door will hold them for some time. Enough time for me to….” (leaves) (Cut into the room with our heroes) Dr. Sonwat: “Well here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into.” Sholmes: “That door is locked. And massive.” Dr. Sonwat: “Yepp.” Sholmes: “Surely you brought your pistol so that we can shoot our way out.” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” Sholmes (looks out the window): “We are high up in a tower. No way we could escape through the windows.” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” (Sholmes sits down) Sholmes: “I doubt that Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast is himself. I guess he has been replaced by someone who just looks like him.” Dr. Sonwat: “Just as it happened with Lord Rushinthought and Lord Fortescue.” Sholmes: “The fake Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast went to the ‘Crab and Lobster Club’. There he must have heard about the horse race money and the diamond.” Dr. Sonwat: “And then he changed his disguise and stole both of them.” Sholmes: “He must have prepared those disguises earlier on. We are dealing with someone who is quite clever.” Dr. Sonwat: “Yepp.” (Both pause to think) Dr. Sonwat: “So, we found that the key to this mystery is Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast.” Sholmes: “Yes, but unfortunately what we need now is the key to this room.” Dr. Sonwat: “Which is just outside the room outside of our reach.” (They wait) Sholmes (tosses his hat on the floor): “We let ourselves get trapped. How could we be so stupid?” Dr. Sonwat: “Curiosity killed the cat.” Sholmes: “We did not even inform Inspector Destrale.” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” (They wait) Sholmes: “This time, I do not know what is going to save us. Do you?” Dr. Sonwat: “Nope.” (They wait) (Cut to outside the room) (to be continued) This episode's hidden quote: Spoiler “Well here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into.” - A reference to Laurel & Hardy The storyline so far: (The Adventure of the Horse Race Money) Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 (you are here) Chapter 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOD Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Interesting continuation of the story. Who would have thought that the thief would have masqueraded as Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast and is already in the house? How can Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat escape from the tower room? 1. They make a lockpick out of the sextant on the wall. With this they can open the door. 2. Aladdin is in town on vacation. He wants to visit the building with his flying carpet. Herlock Sholmes holds his cap out the window and waves it. Aladdin sees it and Herlock Sholmes and Dr. Sonwat can climb onto the carpet and escape. 3. Outside the room I can see someone reaching for the key. It is the Marquis, a friend of both of them, who will set them free. I am quite sure that it is answer 2. Edited March 25, 2023 by NOD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kai NRG Posted March 25, 2023 A great continuation! I love the furniture in the room where they've been trapped. I'm not sure I trust the Marquis to just politely release them though... I bet he wants bananas for ransom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garmadon Posted March 25, 2023 He was wearing boots! Of course. Love that organ too, I expect that's what the marquis is actually there for (I have the idea we've seen him playing before, haven't we?). The question is, where (and who!) is the fake Dr. Thinkslow-Shootfast is now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It turns out they weren't really in this room after all and everything was a dream Or the organ reveals a hidden door? 16 hours ago, Kai NRG said: A great continuation!
