I would not trust that banker for anything. First he decides that carrying a national treasure around on his person is safer than keeping it locked at the bank, then he immediately shows it off to his family members. What idiocy!

How does a private citizen get away with using national property as collateral? As if the Queen strolls in with a scepter and asks for a quick loan. ??

[@cerdic6867]

It likely means that it is a national treasure although it is in private ownership, such items have to be displayed from time to time and cannot be removed from the country without permission even though they are privately owned.

The banker's son is as frustrating as anyone. So blinded was the young man by infatuation that he takes the rap for this woman he knows to be guilty. We older wiser men I like to think are not so vulnerable to such passions :)

[@ellie698]

[@salome6230]

first cousins getting married???

[@martavdz4972]

It was quite normal throughout history. It's only a modern concept that first cousins shouldn't marry because genetics has discovered there are certain risks. Scientists have also discovered that if you've known your first cousin well since childhood, as an adult it's disgusting to think you should marry them. If you only meet them sporadically and only get to really know them during late puberty or adulthood, there is a chance you will perceive them as any other person and you might even find them attractive. That's what happened with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. I read a chronicle of a German-Latvian noble family, first cousins got married there in 1840 or thereabouts, they were happy and had healthy kids. If it only happens in one generation, it's mostly OK. There's enough genetic difference to provide probability of healthy children. There is a huge risk of hereditary mental and health problems if it happens more than once - if first cousins who are children of first cousins get married. That was the problem with some royal families - they KEPT marrying their first cousins.

[@annakilifa331]

​@@martavdz4972 two generations still isn't all thaaat bad. First degree cousins with no prior inbreeding in the family have barely any elevated risk at all, in the second consecutive generation there is a bit more of a risk, but still not thaaat much. But risk knda increases exponentially with each consecutive generation of inbreeding. The worst line of the Habsburg family got as messed up as it got because they had, I think, 8 generations of people that were all (almost) exclusively descended from one couple. And in every such generation there was marriage between first cousins or uncle and niece or similar. That is an amount of inbreeding that is unlikely to ever just happen outside of royal families without some serious political motives in the background

This tale seems to me to be unrealistic. A banker takin such a thing to home without armed guard, etc., etc.. Tellin his family about it. Gah. Then he gave to Holmes unlimited withwrawin of money without the slightest of condition nor hesitation. Such a character would never have risen in the world of bankin believe you me, senator. Now maybe before the inflowin of aliens there might have been less of a sense of threat, but still I don't think that that failed to be a factor in the time wherein the tale was set. How -- O! ... How! -- could Art have thought so unrealistically?

Ah, the world of banking... and those naughty aliens...

[@trukeesey8715]

My family used to leave the front door unlocked (1950s, 60s). Many neighbors also. I doubt whether it would be done today. Still I can't imagine such nonchalance from a banker even of the nineteenth hundred years.

@@trukeesey8715 Here in Sweden, in a small town, in the eighties we had our front door unlocked and sometimes wide open so anyone was going through the living room to get to the porch where we sat.

[@lolagabrielle2671]

Good evening everyone, some months ago, I wrote a comment asking help to find a story, I got some answers but no one can identify it, so I decided to listen to all the stories in order to find it. Here I am, 6 months later and I did not find it!!! I am truly starting to think that I dream this and it doesnt actually exist!!! It starts describing a very cold and foggy day, sherlock its at the basement making a lot of noise and watson is reading something, then at dinner sherlock tells watson something about a very important experiment (something about bullets being fired, i think) and tells him that if he wants to know about this he must promise to stay at home and not talk to anyone, watson accepts this and sherlock goes back to the basement; then in the middle of the nigth a friend of watson arrives at the house and ask him to receive him. Thats the part where I always felt asleep. If anyone can help me with this I will be forever grateful!!! I am sure that im not creative enough to dream the story by myself but I listened to all the stories here, even the pastiches and I CAN NOT FOUND IT, maybe I dont remember correctly or I dont know... help please!!

[@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio]

My question for you is to ask whether any other stories feature SH in or near his basement. I may be wrong but I thought his property was a set of rooms or an apartment upstairs.

[@lolagabrielle2671]

@@sherlock_holmes_magpie_audio good evening, thank you for the reply. Gladly, I alredy found the story and, I am ashame to say that it is not an original and that is why I could not find it here. In answer to your question. No, there is no other story that places Holmes at their basement or even mention a basement at Baker street. The story that I was looking for was "An Inscrutable Masquerade" by John Taylor. Now, a little bit of context here, eigth months ago, when I started listening to SH stories to sleep I just did it on a very disorganize manner, because I did not know that all the stories were here, so I had a playlist called Sherlock where I saved my favorites, most of them where yours but some where from somewhere else, my guess is that the playlist keep going and since I was not familiar with your voice I did not notice the change. So, when I discover all your playlists I deleted mine and therefore lost the other story. Now, even then I just play any story because they are all amazing and the adventure of the cardboard box has a similar description of heat at the start of the story so my sleepy brain mixed the two of them. But when I looked for the story with the basement and the bullets I could not find it so I decide to organize my mind and create a proper playlist, in order, and simply look again from start to finish. Obviously I did not find the story but It was an amazing journey and I will be forever grateful for it. Fuuny thing, the answer to my question was on the original comment, and have been there for the last eigth months. I totally believe that destiny bring me here and I am grateful for your hard work on each audio. As a side note, I have had serious troubles to sleep my entire life, I am 34 now, and your readings help me every nigth, they help me to focus and relax. I can tell you that never before have I been able to constantly sleep every nigth, but this last months your voice has been the best solution ever! As proof of it I am gonna say what my wife always tells me "Greg is the only man that can come to bed with us" Forever grateful with you.
