The Adventure of the Troubled Night. This is one of the shortest cases that my dear friend Holmes ever had to deal with. Indeed, it would have gone unnoticed save for the particulars I had jotted down on a breakfast napkin. Holmes and I had just finished a wonderful breakfast afforded us by Mrs. Hudson, when a slightly bedraggled old fellow came to our door asking for our help. "Do come in, Mr. Grey. I received your note yesterday afternoon." said Holmes. "Watson, allow me to introduce the Earl of Grey. Now, sir, please have some tea. How do you like it? " "Black please. " said Mr. Grey. "Very well. Now sit down in that corner chair if you please. Now sir, you say you've had something stolen from you?" Yessir I have. Or I think I have. For the past three nights I've noticed certain hours of sleep missing from my schedule. You see sir, I am in the habit of watching KZbin videos late at night. It's the usual sort, try not to laughs, cats being funny, etc. But lately I've been catching up on your stories. In audio form. Your stories are most intriguing, but the voice telling them is so soothing, that I cannot tell if I'm actually listening to them or dozing off in the middle. Indeed, if I am listening, then I am robbed of sleep. But if I fall asleep at some time, then I am robbed of your exploits. " I started. "Audio form?", I thought. "I've only recorded my friend's adventures by hand, not by voice on any Victrola cylinder. " Holmes thought for a minute. "I deduce that you are listening to the recitations of a Mr. Greg Wagland. He is well known for having an engaging and yet soothing voice. I advise that you must listen to my memoirs at an earlier time of day. Let Mr. Wagland's voice occupy your attention then. As for sleep, a warm glass of low-fat milk should suffice. There now, you're all sorted out." Mr. Grey rose and thanked Holmes and shook our hands, and quickly departed. "I must confess, Watson, that that man was not the real Earl of Grey. " "How do you know, Holmes?" I said. "I happen to be an acquaintance with Mr. Grey. Plus he is often seen with his good friend Mr. Twining. No, that poor fellow was just a bored KZbin viewer who needed to know how to sleep. Now let us peruse the morning paper for items of interest."

Doyle was forever using "brain fever" as a convenient literary device. He did so in half a dozen stories. As did many other authors. The term showed up frequently in Victorian literature and characters were always being afflicted by it, like Catherine Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights as well as Emma Bovary and Pip in Great Expectations. (See the write ups In Wikipedia, among other sites.). Evidently the term referred to encephalitis or meningitis, but the Victorians were so ignorant of disease pathology and medical practice was so rudimentary that they actually thought that these bacterial and.viral diseases were brought on by emotional distress and even "excessive intellectual activity." In any case, this ignorance and the resulting misconceptions made for fanciful literary flights employed by innumerable authors from Alexander Dumas to Bronté to Conan Doyle.

The word "pray" comes from the Latin "praedicare." Like the other Latin word for "pray" that came from Latin into Spanish, "orare," both words can in context mean to beg or ask for something. This sense of "pray" differentiates it from a recitation of a formulaic statement, such as the Nicene Creed. People are usually asking God for something when they address him. Thus "pray" means "to ask for" or "beg." To inject the word "pray" into an utterance today is considered archaic. It was not an especially archaic expression among the educated of late-nineteenth-century England, nor was it associated with religion. "Pray" was used in its etymological sense of "beg, beseech, ask for." The question, "Pray, what did you do then," simple means, "[I] pray [that you tell me]: What did you do then?" I hope this clarifies the usage of "pray" in the context you provided.

Good of you to let me know. Was aware of this and know that this cut and paste operation is tolerated by KZbin. Happy to terminate and demonetize me but allow direct clones which then attempt to monetize and bizarrely have succeeded in the past. Go figure. It's all part of the same picture. The process of getting these things taken down is Byzantine in its complexity. But if you are a corporation it's automated 😎 Getting to be untenable.
