[00:01.67] Chapter two. [00:03.00] A Telegram arrives. [00:05.51] Holmes's words turned out to be correct. [00:09.63] A fortnight later, a telegram came. [00:12.92] Please be at the Black Swan Hotel in Winchester at midday tomorrow. [00:18.69] Do come, I am at my wit's end. [00:22.36] Hunter. [00:26.99] By 11:00 the next day, we were on our way. [00:31.81] The countryside seems a peaceful place, said Holmes, as he looked out of the train window. [00:39.61] But think what can go on in the deserted houses and hamlets. [00:45.29] In the country, there is no one to report the evil which may be taking place. [00:52.63] His words were chilling, and I was glad to see Violet Hunter safe at the Black Swan when we arrived. [01:00.77] I am so delighted that you have come, she said earnestly. [01:08.57] We sat in a quiet corner. [01:11.44] Let us have everything in its due order, said Holmes, thrusting his long, thin legs out towards the fire, and closing his eyes to listen. [01:23.04] Violet began her story.
