38a Wisteria Lodge (Part One) from His Last Bow: Reminiscences of Sherlock Holmes (1917) Audiobook

- The first part of The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge entitled The Singular Experience of Mr. John Scott Eccles, which is itself part of the collection of eight stories 'His Last Bow' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published in 1917.
Mr Eccles arrives in a bit of a pother at Baker Street requesting help and the police are not far behind.
I only managed to record the first half, but thought I'd post it anyway. The next part is 'The Tiger of San Pedro'.
Once again this recording was made with an interesting microphone I'm playing with, and did not go through my trusty channel strip, so I had to master it on the hoof and in the box using some random plugins (!). All audio related comments (and any others) welcome - well, mostly ;-)
This is a Magpie Audio production, narrated by Greg Wagland in 2019.
Such a delightful voice. This is the way Sherlock Holmes should sound.
I agree!
As do I..😊
Rather a jolly tale that I've not read before. Well I read it before I recorded it, but you know what I mean.
Yes, I mainly do other people's words ;-)
Hi Greg, which is the story about the doctor called to a house on Hampstead Heath and a woman lying on a sofa supposedly near death? I'd like to hear it again, but I can't remember which one it is. Thanks, Kate
Thank you for the spot on reading. Voiced perfectly.
I personally never cared for Doyle books. You corrected this fallacy. Thank you.
Remarkable, very remarkable adventure and
Nothing beats the combination of tea, Mr. Wagland's audiobook and a window view of the cloudy Sunday morning
Thank you Mr. Wagland
Glad to be part of the trio!
When are we having the Greg Wagland fan club meet and greet at one of those Downten Abby mansions in England?
I fear no such organisation exists. Probably just as well. And as for the meet and greet, a disused Little Chef on the A5 might be just the ticket!
New Kids On The Block have a yearly cruise with their fans and do millions of selfies I say we go for something of that nature
We also need an Australian meet and greet. X
I’ll definitely be there
Do little chefs still exist?
What a terrifying thought!!😊
Big Fact: this was perfectly, brilliantly read!
Thanks for uploading, I listen to your Sherlock Holmes recordings every three months or so. Glad you are adding several from "His Last Bow". You have an excellent skill of reading.
Cheers Benny!
you're my favorite Sherlock voice after Jeremy Brett, thanks for uploading :D
Yes, he's the best. No question.
Thanks KS
Ooh agreed
I agree Jeremy Brett was the coolest and most believable Sherlock Holmes (and his Watson, can't remember the actors name,sorry) Mr Wagland is a close second though. Thank you for all your excellent work.
Woohoo!!! Thank you! 😊👍 I love your voice and know you as the voice of Sherlock.
V. kind!
Thank you for these! I'm glad you're back up and running - very happy to hear Sherlock in your wonderful voice. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for recording this. You style is exceptional.
Leonie
Appreciated - as always.
"We wish a statement, Mr. Scott Eccles, as to the events which led up to the death last night [6:22 : last year] of Mr. Aloysius Garcia, of Wisteria Lodge, near Esher."
Thank you for remedying it
You have a great tone, and a great speed. Very well done. Looking forward to part 2!
These are very good as per usual ! We really are fortunate to have these superb renditions , thank you so much for all your efforts sir .
Very similar to Jeramy Brett. The one true, perfect Sherlock Holmes!! Can’t ever imagine anyone ever portraying him more accurately. Shame Arthur Conan Doyle never saw him.
Totally Grooooovey! Your the best!!
Thanks bro for uploading more from his last bow. Love your voice variations.
Thank you, Aditya.
A wonderful read, thank you
very much.🔴🐈
Ta, Nancy. Kind of you to say.
Always the use of the word 'singular'. I had never heard that word before. I now know it well! Love this! Wonderful reading!
*wonderful Thank you!*
I can't wait for part 2!!!
This channel is awesome!
Thank you again for an amazing reading!
Thanks B-L W! Appreciated.
So excited you’ve uploaded something new!
Btw please could you do more great expectations?? I thought your 2 chapters that you did were excellent. I would happily listen to the whole book read by you
Yes, it's a possibility. Thank you for your support.
Beautifully read. We're presently in this coronavirus "lockdown" so is so nice to have something interesting to listen to! Many thanks.
Glad it was helpful! You still locked?
Good to have u back
Thank you for posting. I enjoy the channel every night. I love Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Your narration makes them superb. Mr. Wagland
Cheers Jeremiah. Kind of you!
Greg Wagland is an absolute star at accents, as many of his faithful listeners have remarked, but I had to chuckle at the beginning of this story, where Holmes reads out a telegram in the accent of a man he has yet to meet.
I loooove the descriptions of people's faces! Wouldn't be PC now, and maybe that's a good thing!
It is!
Thank you and I love these stories
Pleased. Thanks David.
Absolutely priceless! TYVM!
Cheers Ruben.
"My mind is like a racing engine tearing itself to pieces, because it is not connected up with the work for which it was built. Life is common place, the papers are sterile, audacity and romance seem to have passed forever from the criminal world".
And that's without the cocaine 😂 Bravo Sherlock!
its good to have you back again sir Greg. I come to love Sherlock Holmes more with you giving life to it by your excellent reading.
I still am waiting for the 2nd half of Valley of Fear and now I'll look forward for the 2nd half of Wisteria Lodge as well.
Soon, Len, soon.
Cheers
Wonderful. Another step towards the Complete Canon!
Baby steps...
!
Love your voice! Thank you!
Thanks Andi!
I love your work, Greg! Thank you so much! ❤️
what a wonderful treat! Thanks!
I love you Greg thanks for your time and wonderful reading.
Well thanks for the heart and I hope to hear, Sherlock Holmes, voice every nite for many more moons. He's now my dream guy thanks to your most excellent gift of reading out loud. Xoxoxo
Can’t wait for part 2! Thank you!
Nearly done.
Thank you 😊
“Grotesque” is fitting for the racism written into this one, but there’s still a good story in there. Amazing job on the narration, you scared the crap out of me in part 2 😂
Glad to hear it! 😀
I have a playlist for part 1 and 2 of this. I just keep returning to you interpretations of these stories.
Where is part 2 please?
Finally! Welcome back friend.
Cheers Chance
Love this story!
Ah great another one :) Thanks a lot!
At 6:20 Gregson says "he was murdered last year " ... and we found a note in his pocket....
Might I comment my nigga this is the proper British accent for taking over American television.
Think about that.
Love from America.
I will give it some thought.
Cheers Geom
Love from Humberside
I'm ready for the take over!
Will there be dollars?
You are so good at this. Brilliant.
Cheers!
Good start.
*Salem Saberhagen:* _(as Holmes, laughing)_ Slow down, man! The way you start off, I could've sworn it was one of those flops Watson here calls stories! _(aside)_ No offense, Doc...
*Watson:* _(managing a composed tone)_ None taken.
*Watson:* _(narrating)_ But his narrative was nipped in the bud. There was a bustle outside, and Mrs. Hudson opened the door to usher in two robust and official-looking individuals, one of whom was well known to us as Inspector Gregson of Scotland Yard, an energetic, gallant, and, within his limitations, a capable officer. He shook hands with Holmes and introduced his comrade as Inspector Baynes, of the Surrey Constabulary.
*Salem:* _(annoyed)_ Perfect timing, Greg. Right when I was about to hear a juicy case...
*Watson:* _(narrating)_ Holmes guffawed so loudly that I believed he would fall off the side table.
*Salem:* _(controlling himself)_ This is... pretty... unique, I'll grant ya. _(ahem)_ So whatcha do next?
*Scott Eccles:* I was furious. My first idea was that I had been the victim of some absurd practical joke.
*Salem:* _(laughing again)_ If it was, then it _worked!_ Too bad I can't shake that Spanish stiff's hand!
love your channel!
Thanks
Thank you, Ashish.

To think we think sherlock homes is a great detective .when really the it's the very author that created him .thank u well enjoyed 👏👏👏
True enough
March 1892? The date quoted in the story is during the period Holmes was missing presumed dead. Was it an error by ACD, printers or what. The fact that Holmes is also behind the Police in solving this problem. It has been suggested that originally the story did not feature Holmes at all, only Watson and the Police. In the Empty House Watson states he has shown interest in various cases. However, did Strand Magazine insist Holmes was added and ACD, who was not good at continuity forgot to change the date.
21:41 big fact
🎉❤❤❤🎉
Cheers Rusty.
I would go into hysteria if I do not immediately start listening to Wisteria.
Armand, you wordsmith!
Back to reality ❣️.
"1892?" Isn't Holmes supposed to be dead or rather pretending to be dead?
Where is part 2?
That's all of it!

This is a complicated story that’s very hard to follow and requires retracing, even after reading Part Two. And whatever Eashire (sp?) is, the Spanish Embassy wouldn’t be there. The Spanish Embassy would be in London, as embassies are always located in capital cities. Consulate perhaps. Maybe a Londoner can clarify this for us all. The story gets completely un-understandable in Part Two. Not Doyle’s best.
Garcia lives in Esher in Surrey and then visits the Spanish embassy in London.
Sherlock reads the name Scott Echols, so why does Watson ask, "man or woman?"
Good point!
