[00:00.54] Chapter two.
[00:02.29] Mr. Baker arrives.
[00:05.96] The advert was placed in several evening papers.
[00:09.82] Peterson also purchased a goose, similar to the one he and his family had eaten.
[00:16.03] Just before 6:30 the next day, I went to join Holmes and we waited to see if the owner of the goose would turn up.
[00:27.18] At 6:35, there was a knock at the door.
[00:31.37] A tall man stood there, dressed in a black frock coat, which had seen better days.
[00:39.17] "Mr. Henry Baker, I believe?" said Holmes.
[00:43.63] "I think this might be yours." He pointed to the hat.
[00:49.95] "Yes, sir, that is my hat without a doubt."
[00:54.81] "Good, the goose, I'm afraid we had to eat," said Holmes, smiling.
[01:02.28] "You've eaten it!" exclaimed the man.
[01:08.84] "It would have gone bad," said Holmes.
[01:13.34] "But this other one," he pointed to the table, "is the same size and is much fresher.
[01:20.92] Will that not suit you?"
[01:23.90] "Oh, yes," said Mr. Baker with relief.
[01:28.78] "It will suit us very well.
[01:32.62] We still have the feathers, the legs, the crop and so on of your own bird if you wish to have them."
[01:41.89] The man laughed.
[01:44.67] "I have no use for such things," he said.
[01:49.85] "Very well," said Holmes.
[01:53.71] "But could you tell me where you got the bird?
[01:57.80] It was a fine one."
[02:00.89] "Of course, at the Alpha Inn near the museum.
[02:06.24] We pay a few pence each week through the year for our Christmas goose.
[02:11.89] The landlord buys the birds at a good rate and we take them home on Christmas Eve."
[02:21.07] With a few more polite words, the man bowed to us both, thanked us again and left with his hat on his head and the goose under his arm.
[02:32.11] "So much for Mr. Henry Baker," said Holmes.
[02:37.37] "But I think we might visit the landlord of the Alpha Inn.
[02:43.63] Would you like a glass of beer, Watson?"
