Luke, to be honest, the episodes like this one - are what the doctor is prescribed. I was so elated to find it today in my KZbin feed. Thank You from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

I LOVE LONG EPISODES!!!! THANKS LUKE!!!!

This moment is always our favorite with LEP. Every case is a walk in the park. Nothing is a threat to Sherlock. One clue is all it takes. Solving the mystery is easy breezy.

[@trixter88]

I have that feeling when I know this story almost by heart (I read it in Russian as a child, in English in my youth, and I watched the magnificent Soviet film adaptation several times), but I understand that I am still going to listen to Luke until the very end, until his notorious "Goodbye, bye, bye, bye...".

You are such a great narrator! Your expression adds more life to my imagination while listening to the story. Even a simple story turns into a great one. It’s not a panegyric It's a fact.

Great story, Luke. Thank you for the reading. I enjoyed every minute of it. The ending was really a surprise for me. I never thought the culpable would be a snake.

Hats off to you! Your podcast is getting better and better. In fact, “it's the best thing since sliced bread.” I got goosebumps during the crime scene, you are such a good actor... Terrific! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Alpro42-l9l]

Thank you, Luke, for the amazing performance and explanations. By the way, I'd like to mention a couple of discrepancies in Mr. Conan Doyle's story. Snakes can't move down the rope, and it's also strange that the poor young lady couldn't say she was bitten by someone (a human usually feels even a mosquito's touch).

[@gracielalilianazara4333]

Hello, teacher Luke! It was an amazing story, indeed. I had never read it, but from the very beginning I suspected that the step father had killed the poor girl but I could'nt believe my eyes how he did it. Justice was done, he finally died because of his terrible plan.

Perfect story! However, in reality, snake bites, especially the poisonous snakes bites will leave horrible marks, which will be so obvious and anybody will notice that! 😂

It was dark night I was frightened😢

Hi Luke thank you for posting a lovely video as always. Byw I live in London but there are no chances to meet British people who speak in beautiful accent like you. I understand what you speak almost everything though, I don't get it conversation on the hustle and bustle.😢

I want to hear a short story about Sherlock Homeless 😅

I m courious how would you guild us to do and use an english test to improve english ability. Can u use a mock TOIEC test as an example.

In the next video, can you talk about British accents? Which one sounds the most beautiful?

Sir Luke - What will you recommend, reading through hard copy or soft copy?

[@mehrshadmomen5076]

Hi Luck, I hope you are doing right, why do you narrative old stories like Sherlock, rold auld, and so on. In my opinion, the most attractive and enjoyable stories is the stoeies that are more modern, like simulation, that you've proposed recently. but anyway, I really enjoy your videos especially talk and walk.

Hi Luke, Not only I'm not a skeleton, but I'm also glad that justice was made. Unfortunately, I'm not as clever as Sherlock Holmes, for I didn't guess a snake could be the weapon. I really enjoyed that story, thanks Luke !

I like so much your podcast that I listen everyday 👍🙂

[@sahereh3863]

Luke, if you see this comment, do you think you could make episodes centered around how to be polite in English? I would really appreciate that. ❤️

[@Mert-n7h]

I once researched that how sherlock holmes makes deduction that well with observation ofc it's a fictional thing but then I think can't we be more observant? It's pretty hard and near to impossable nowadays because distractions are everywhere. We can still practice that dirt why occured and the speck, or his sleeves why always like that, is that clue can tell his profession. Not likely you should have more than one clue in your hands. Once i understood that my friend just arrived the school. I told him you came just new. He told me have you become a prophet lol. It's because when i shake his hand it was cold it was on winter so he doesn't put his hands in his pocket could be playing with phone when coming.

[@liudmylagantsevych8668]

I really believe in justice, it’s the very fair solution. I read that story back in my childhood. That definitely helped me listening to it in English. But that key word ‘band’ doesn’t have these two meanings in my language and I guess it was a challenge to translate the story. Thank you Luke!

[@theophanud4819]

One of the best episodes. I found nothing difficult in understanding maybe because I had read the story before, quite long ago

[@qadanissa9840]

Thank you so much, I wish,if you make short stories , because of time

Hi Luke! Would be interesting an episode about the Sean Combs story, perhaps a bit thorny but definitely curious

Yes, it’s old fashioned English.
