      I really appreciate it when somebody puts the chapters into sections like that! I wouldn’t have a clue how to do it! BTW love this book! The reason I watched so much Sherlock Holmes, besides living in Baker Street, is because I heard he was into the supernatural when he was alive, and obviously a lot more now! LOL! I am so happy to have come across his actual works on the supernatural! I’d love to know how much of it was based on his actual experience! 1000 thank you’s and blessings!☯️

    I like the false hope where he thinks he is safe for a few nights. Of course the protagonist has no idea how far they've still got to go while we can see there's still time to run. Then the mounting urgency and panic when he does get the draw on him to go to her. Very well read; you made that story really exciting.

    A great story by one of the world's greatest authors. FYI - in many Victorian and Edwardian publications some of the homes of that era mention a piece of interior design known as a 'Wanscot' for those of the younger generation, it is wooden paneling that covers the wall from the floor at a hight of around 4ft. It is used to protect the walls and baseboards from scuffing by foot traffic and furniture that may cause damage to the walls. Usually made of fine imported woods.

      @Razan Kalifa You're welcome, thanks so much for listening. Yes, this one is my longest to date. I tend to focus mainly on short (indeed "bitesized") stories, for various reasons, but am trying some longer pieces as and when I can fit them in.

    I know i commentn on this story too much, but each time i hear it i discover another treasure. Your voicing of Miss Penacosa (sp?) makes her sound insufferably disagreeable to talk to, listen to, or even look at. Very well done indeed sir, capital work. And Gilroys vanity about his looks creeps through in your characterization of him; he dwells too long upon his looks while describing himself and his affected indifference can be heard as you read his lines. You can tell he at least wants to be modest; and perhaps that makes his sin of mere vanity more easily forgiven. But it does not make it invisible. I feel that i have met these characters face to face. Much of that is the genius of the Great Man's writing; much of it is certainly your narration and acting prowess. I thoroughly enjoy myself every time i listen.

    This story is very well read of course, by a skilled narrator. But darn it Arthur Conan Doyle!! Triggered my anxiety major, like being stuck in some nightmare world. But I’m stubborn and wanted to know how it ended so listened all the way through. Not what I would call a relaxing story, but others seem to have enjoyed it so it’s obviously just not everyone’s style :).

    Well, I just recently realized that you are the "Voice." Wonderful! I listened to this story last night, and I find that except for most of the ghost stories, which I don't fully listen to, because I live alone and they are sometimes scary, I have listened to and enjoyed all of your other stories.
