25 The Empty House from The Return of Sherlock Holmes (1905) Audiobook

"You see, Watson, I had to pretend I had died in order to deceive Moriarty's cronies, even though they were actually the only ones who knew I was alive all along, but I couldn't trust you with the knowledge because reasons."
"Holmes, you really are a jerk."

You never know when you're going to need 2 candles.....

Thank you Greg for these audiobooks. I still come back to them so often.

Your voice is absolutely incredible !.i love watching your videos thank you for the wonderful stories.

Thank you. It's a true pleasure to listen to you, Greg.

Wonderfull reading, many thanks.

I love your Holmes voice. Perfect.

It may be said that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle may never had intended to create The Empty House in the first place. You may notice the year this was written in. It had been a long time before the author had written again. Although, it is a slightly symbolic thing that Watson took so much time to write again in-universe before the dramatic return of the world's greatest detective.

Holmes dead? That's impossible!

Yes- great narration.

Perfect Narrator

The narrator is excellent

Thank you so much. God bless you

My favourite Holmes story

Watson: Also my wife died.
Holmes: Thank God, I mean let's work and forget about it.

Flawless narration. Respect!!!

If Holmes plan was to play dead then wasn't that plan shot when the rock thrower saw he'd not went over falls? Just here trying to follow that but it bugs me when the story doesn't make sense lol. I get he disappeared and bad guys didn't know when he'd reappear but they did know he was alive. So why mess with Watson and those who thought he'd died for years? His plans could have played out just the same knowing as not knowing.

Good stories, well read

wonderfully read, many thanks.

Thank you very much for bringing this content and include the transcription too, this is a very entertaining way to learn vocabulary and grammar for non native speakers

This guy does a very good job at the old narration... Nice one

Greg, thank you for your work! You are a true literal hero.

Love your voice. So smooth but still energetic. And all the different voices for every person plus dialects and accents that you perform. I am amazed. ❤️

I'm having lots of fun listening to these beautifully narrated stories Greg. Thank you.

I rose to my feet, stared at him for some seconds in utter amazement. Then it appears I must’ve fainted for the first and last time in my life.
Poor Watson LOL

How are you getting along there at magpie? Hope that you are having fun.
Blessings for all

I've always liked this one, Adair is my maiden name, and it's rare to find it in fiction writings.

great

Making my way up your list and they keep getting better and better Greg!! I’m hearing stories by him that I’ve never read and I thought I had read them all.. thanks again!

Superb. Thank you 😊

Wait. This isn’t Watson himself? ❤️❤️

No one comes close to being holmes and Watson than Greg .the best readings of the holmes cannon ever

Me listening to this as a beginer english learner 😂😂

Wonderful narration! Well done shifting to the different characters!

the best ever

Hi magpie! I have just got to say a few things. I love your narration's are absolutely wonderful. Your accent suits this genre of books such as these. I love your vids and i use them to sleep at night. Your voice is so calming. No one can re-create this narration as great as you. And i always litsen to the "hound of baskervilles". It always gets me. Thank for being yourself

Greg Wagland is superb! I am truly ecstatic I found these- gratzi!

If Professor Moriarty is the "Napoleon of Crime" , does it make Colonel Moran the "Ney of Crime?"

I think your the perfect example of how Watson would have sounded like in his early years with Holmes.
Good job chap, a applaud to your performance

Dear Greg, your reading is wonderful! Are you, perhaps, an actor?

Your voice is perfect for Sherlock Holmes stories, I can’t listen to anyone else reading them! 🙂

I was just as delighted as Watson to know that Sherlock‘s back 🥰😄I thought he was really‘ ‘gone’ in ‘the Final Problem’!! Greg’s reading of Watson’s reaction was exactly like mine when I heard he’s back! Superb narrating btw👍🏻👏🏻🥰

Nicely done.

Sherlock Holmes’ recounting of his accounts, before revealing himself to Dr. Watson, reminded me of, the travels of Marco Polo.

One thing that bugs me:
Sherlock faked his death to hide from his enemies... But Moran, of the very crime ring he is hiding from, knew all along he was not dead.
He had no reason to keep that a secret from his compatriots.
Does not that make the entire charade pointless. If the only people who know Holmes is still alive are the very people he is hiding from?
