The Empty House (2/5)
From The Return of Sherlock Holmes
By Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
P.S. There's a mention of a Japanese art of self defence called "Baritsu" in this episode. As a native speaker of Japanese I have never heard of such a word, and surmising from the context that it must be a corruption of either Jujitsu (i.e. Judo) or Bujutsu (martial art), I chose the latter in this recording. I was surprised later on that Baritsu was not an error, but a coined word made from Barton and jujitsu, Englishman Edward William Barton-Wright being the founder of a now obscure method of martial art/self-defence heavily influenced by jujitsu. See here for more.
