Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pharaoh´s Knob Lieut. Kingston finds the knob and, while examining it, the hotel bell hop, a credulous girl, watches him. She thinks the stone is of value and just for fun the soldier tells her a long fake story about the stone´s powers. The bell hop believes the tale and promptly tells several people. Immediately the soldier finds himself the center of a large group of admirers, and, catching on to what has happened he makes the most of his opportunities. The stone is lost, however, and the various guests find it. Each guest, realizing the power of the stone, wants to keep it but is frightened by the appearance of the gipsy who, the bell hop claims, is trying to get the stone and will kill anyone who has it. Sherlock gets on the trail and while things are hottest, Miss Peppergrass returns demanding that a sign be put up to the effect that she has lost the knob of her cabinet. The hotel clerk Realizes what has happened, and gives the soldier warning. He and Elizabeth leave the hotel hurriedly, returning during the discussion among the guests. Mrs. Jones denounces him, and attempts to take her daughter. Elizabeth and Lieut. Kingston announce their marriage and mother blesses her children. Jenkins´ admiration for Sherlock does not diminish during the play. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
