What a beautiful voice to listen to at bedtime 🌙. Thank you for the upload, but sad to see the narrator is no longer with us to bring us more 😢 💔

An incomparable narration of a little masterpiece….. thank you for posting this gem.

As you say, probably the first blind detective, but not the last. There's an effective 1942 American film called Eyes in the Night, starring Edward Arnold (not to be confused with the younger actor Eddie Albert) as Duncan MacLain, a blind detective with a loveable German Shepherd. Co-starring are Donna Reed as a teen, Ann Harding, and one of my favourites from both the silent era and talkies, Reginald Denny. It's still here on the tube.

Yes, I love that film! There is also a sequel, but I can’t currently remember what it’s called; I’ve always wished that more had been made.

Thanks!

Thoroughly enjoyable stories. The narration transports us back vividly to a bygone era. The themes of greed and identity theft are, however, totally relatable to the listener of today. Thank you for uploading.

In the second story, I don't understand how the suicide of the guilty indian fellow redeems the blamed signalman.

[@susanknight4841]

Because of his admission of guilt and discoveries of Carrados backing up with evidence. So accused man who was himself suicidal gets his life back

[@susanknight4841]

Agree however it's a bit murky.

[@susanknight4841]

I've been trying to think this through more thoroughly since your interesting point, but I think I've got it now. The Indian was not scared of the gallows, rather he threatened to use his final speech to condemn the outrages perpetrated in his country by the British, and raise sympathetic revolution against them everywhere. Carrados explained that his crime would however bring the honour of his country, leaders and fellow Indians into disrepute and only further fan flames of racism and insurrection to India's detriment. So he suggested suicide would solve the matter of justice without giving either the law or the perpetrator opportunity to grandstand in court and make things worse for both sides. Carrados would take the Indian's suicide note admission of guilt to the police, who would then exonerate the signalman, without any political posturing being involved, and the matter would be finished with. The Carrados stories are not always as clear cut as one would like, I don't find them as convincing as Sherlock Holmes, but nevertheless they are certainly imaginative, creative, and entertaining. :)
