I would, of course, be most interested to know if he intends to become the ultimate Sherlock by recording the balance of Dr. Doyle's work. I believe this would make him the "ultimate Sherlock/Watson" and make him unique in his field. Regards DL Hunter davidhunteriii@aol.com
Loved this brilliantly narrated tale ! If anyone enjoyed the speculative apsects of this story and the mania that is uncorked in the souls that participate I would recommend The Gambler by Dostoyevsky written 33 years after this. One of my favourite books.
I was enthralled by the Gambler. The story's pace is thrilling and its psychological insights are gripping. This story is kind of a cross between The Gambler and Crime & Punishment.
What a fantastic piece this is. I love the finer details that breathe such life into the characters; the indolent servants and their disrespect for the old Countess, the Countess herself and her pompous egotism, her controlling behaviours around Elisabet. Well read Sir Wagland
Sublime reading (rendering I should say) of a classic of universal literature. Thank you. I thought I had lost it and your channel here for a good while and was more ill-tempered about it than is habitual. Not "having it in me" it faded or blossomed into sadness and action until I understood (not fully) that this place (you-?-tube) makes it extremely easy to report copyright violations where they are non-existent (public domain is public domain the world over, maybe the new HQ's of Google or Alphabet are not in a contemporary country..) and virtually impossible to report genuine infringement of copyright on behalf of anyone but oneself, Since I am not a creative artist with original content that doesn't affect me directly but it's one hell of a way to run a company which is a subsidiary to Our Lords. I missed your voice but your videos seem to be returning less slowly than I dreaded. Not just the Sherlock ones but such pet likes of mine (E.F. Benson, M.R. James) and glorious Pushkin. In case I never said it before / elsewhere: you have a superbly evocative voice, acting skills which are (I suspect) understated here and again - in a most subtle, satisfying and brilliant way. Thank You. I don't remember saying it before today but Pushkin seems an appropriate genius to start with.
Unexpectedly engrossing story, Greg. Thank you so much. Between you and Simon Stanhope, I'm at a loss as to which of you is better. (Tongue firmly planted in cheek) This is the only time I've known myself to have an embarrassment of riches 😆😆😆😆🤑
Buy the book ? You'll be spared the annoyance of adverts . Perhaps the thought of actually paying for it will alter your opinion ? ( With your sort it normally does )
Mr. Wagland is not only the best he is the Beast of world class narration.
Slow thoughtful and sensitive. Just gorgeous..Love you ☺
Cheers Tracey!
Brilliant story and narrative thanks for posting it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Greg Wagland is certainly one of the best voice artists in the business.HE IS SERLOCK!
Thank you!

David Hunter I’m sorry but how can you spell out SERLOCK in caps and not notice your mistake? 🤯

Yes .The Gambler is brilliant .!
I was enthralled by the Gambler. The story's pace is thrilling and its psychological insights are gripping. This story is kind of a cross between The Gambler and Crime & Punishment.
This truly is very good. Thank you.
My tired brain thought this was a a documentary about the art in the queens of spades card... I should probably sleep.
That's a very tired brain, toa!

Famous story, famous author… Why did it take me so long to read/listen to it? Thank you for your wonderful reading, Mr. Wagland.
While listening I was picturing Anton Walbrook and Dame Edith Evans in the film of the same name. I haven't seen that film in 45 years.
Saw it yesterday 30/10/23 on talking pictures
Great film.

Well read Sir Wagland

Very nice reading,
Thank you 👍
This was so much fun
Nice I am 200th like, Happy Holidays everyone
Awesome read ! Your the best 👏👏👏
good for her!!
Yes!
The best comment here about the story. 👌 (actually also along with one below saying “bent dealer haha.”)
Realise I have read this from a Russian book of mum stories,
This story is kind of a cross between The Gambler and Crime & Punishment.
Queen of Spade is my Rahu card in cardsoftruth. Hoped to learn about the character.
Wasn’t it, the queen of hearts, in “The Manchuria Candidate”?
why don't you play a nice game of solitaire....
Would you consider narrating “Chelkash” by Maxim Gorky? Love your work!
Where ever did you get these lovely stories? Thank you 💖
Books!
I like how the love letter from the officer was copied word for word from a German novel!
Is it? Interesting!
I must confess to liking the opera a lot better.
Oprah. There's a good one coming up, apparently.
Thank goodness the Bolsheviks eventually came along and put a stop to the sort of behaviour described in this tale 💁♀️
Other narratives are available 😅
Just spotted this!
This is funny 😆

I'm not here for that.
Your wish is my command. Gone!
thank you so much.
Buy the book ? You'll be spared the annoyance of adverts .
Perhaps the thought of actually
paying for it will alter your
opinion ? ( With your sort it normally does )
How will you compensate him for these stories if there are no ads? Do you plan to JOIN the channel?
