"The Adventure of the Priory School"

From the Series: The Return of Sherlock Holmes

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, Edward Hardwicke as Dr Watson (13 episodes)
First published in "Collier's" Jan 1904 (PRIO)

Synopsis:
The son of an eminent person is kidnapped. Can Holmes's rescue by boy and exonerate the German Master?

Review:
This has lots of wonderful Holmes deductions. Clue upon clue build up the puzzle with a clever twist to the take. Thoroughly enjoyable except for the poor acting on behalf of "His Lordship".

Sketch map showing the locality


An impression like a fine bundle of telegraph wires ran down the centre of it


There lay the unfortunate rider


With difficulty he limped up to the door


The man flew past us on the road


I heard him chuckle as the light fell upon a patched Dunlop tire


The murderer has escaped
