And now a few ads before tonight's story.

Welcome to send me to sleep, the place to find relaxing stories for a good night's rest. My name's Andrew. Thanks for joining me.

Tonight I'll be reading The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.

The Adventure of the Missing Three Quarter, Part 2.

In the previous part, Sherlock and Watson investigated the disappearance of Godfrey Staunton, a key player for the Cambridge

rugby team, just before a crucial match against Oxford. After inspecting the hotel room where he was last

seen, they found the imprint of a telegram sent before his disappearance, inspiring

our duo to make tracks towards Cambridge.

Whilst some of the language in this story has been changed to make it more suitable for sleep,

it still contains themes of violence and death, so listener discretion

is advised.

Before we begin tonight's story, let's get ourselves ready for sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing breath and settle your body in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind and simply follow the sound of my voice.

So let your eyes fall heavy and your breath soften as we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep.

The adventure of the Missing Three Quarter, Part Two. It was already dark when we reached the old university city. Homs took a cab at the station and ordered the man to

in the busiest thoroughfare.
