«My [maɪ] dear [dɪə] Holmes [həʊmz],» said [sɛd] I [aɪ], «this [ðɪs] is [ɪz] too [tu¦] much [mʌʧ]. You [ju¦] would [wʊd] certainly [sɜ¦tnli] have [hæv] been [bi¦n] burned [bɜ¦nd], had [hæd] you [ju¦] lived [lɪvd] a [ə] few [fju¦] centuries [sɛnʧʊriz] ago [əgəʊ]. It [ɪt] is [ɪz] true [tru¦] that [ðæt] I [aɪ] had [hæd] a [ə] country [kʌntri] walk [wɔ¦k] on [ɒn] Thursday [θɜ¦zdeɪ] and [ænd] came [keɪm] home [həʊm] in [ɪn] a [ə] dreadful [drɛdfʊl] mess [mɛs], but [bʌt] as [æz] I [aɪ] have [hæv] changed [ʧeɪnʤd] my [maɪ] clothes [kləʊðz] I [aɪ] can’t [kɑ¦nt] imagine [ɪmæʤɪn] how [haʊ] you [ju¦] deduce [dɪdju¦s] it [ɪt]. As [æz] to [tu¦] Mary [meəri] Jane [ʤeɪn], she [ʃi¦] is [ɪz] incorrigible [ɪnkɒrɪʤəbl], and [ænd] my [maɪ] wife [waɪf] has [hæz] given [gɪvn] her [hɜ¦] notice [nəʊtɪs], but [bʌt] there [ðeə], again [əgɛn], I [aɪ] fail [feɪl] to [tu¦] see [si¦] how [haʊ] you [ju¦] work [wɜ¦k] it [ɪt] out [aʊt].»
He [hi¦] chuckled [ʧʌkld] to [tu¦] himself [hɪmsɛlf] and [ænd] rubbed [rʌbd] his [hɪz] long [lɒŋ], nervous [nɜ¦vəs] hands [hændz] together [təgɛðə].

«It [ɪt] is [ɪz] simplicity [sɪmplɪsɪti] itself [ɪtsɛlf],» said [sɛd] he [hi¦]; «my [maɪ] eyes [aɪz] tell [tɛl] me [mi¦] that [ðæt] on [ɒn] the [ði] inside [ɪnsaɪd] of [ɒv] your [jɔ¦] left [lɛft] shoe [ʃu¦], just [ʤʌst] where [weə] the [ðə] firelight [faɪəlaɪt] strikes [straɪks] it [ɪt], the [ðə] leather [lɛðər] is [ɪz] scored [skɔ¦d] by [baɪ] six [sɪks] almost [ɔ¦lməʊst] parallel [pærəlɛl] cuts [kʌts]. Obviously [ɒbvɪəsli] they [ðeɪ] have [hæv] been [bi¦n] caused [kɔ¦zd] by [baɪ] someone [sʌmwʌn] who [hu¦] has [hæz] very [vɛri] carelessly [keəlɪsli] scraped [skreɪpt] round [raʊnd] the [ði] edges [ɛʤɪz] of [ɒv] the [ðə] sole [səʊl] in [ɪn] order [ɔ¦də] to [tu¦] remove [rɪmu¦v] crusted [krʌstɪd] mud [mʌd] from [frɒm] it [ɪt]. Hence [hɛns], you [ju¦] see [si¦], my [maɪ] double [dʌbl] deduction [dɪdʌkʃən] that [ðæt] you [ju¦] had [hæd] been [bi¦n] out [aʊt] in [ɪn] vile [vaɪl] weather [wɛðə], and [ænd] that [ðæt] you [ju¦] had [hæd] a [ə] particularly [pətɪkjʊləli] malignant [məlɪgnənt] boot-slitting [bu¦t] [slɪtɪŋ] specimen [spɛsɪmɪn] of [ɒv] the [ðə] London [lʌndən] slavey [slævi].

I [aɪ] could [kʊd] not [nɒt] help [hɛlp] laughing [lɑ¦fɪŋ] at [æt] the [ði] ease [i¦z] with [wɪð] which [wɪʧ] he [hi¦] explained [ɪkspleɪnd] his [hɪz] process [prəʊsɛs] of [ɒv] deduction [dɪdʌkʃən]. «When [wɛn] I [aɪ] hear [hɪə] you [ju¦] give [gɪv] your [jɔ¦] reasons [ri¦znz],» I [aɪ] remarked [rɪmɑ¦kt], «the [ðə] thing [θɪŋ] always [ɔ¦lweɪz] appears [əpɪəz] to [tu¦] me [mi¦] to [tu¦] be [bi¦] so [səʊ] ridiculously [rɪdɪkjʊləsli] simple [sɪmpl] that [ðæt] I [aɪ] could [kʊd] easily [i¦zɪli] do [du¦] it [ɪt] myself [maɪsɛlf], though [ðəʊ] at [æt] each [i¦ʧ] successive [səksɛsɪv] instance [ɪnstəns] of [ɒv] your [jɔ¦] reasoning [ri¦znɪŋ] I [aɪ] am [æm] baffled [bæfld] until [əntɪl] you [ju¦] explain [ɪkspleɪn] your [jɔ¦] process [prəʊsɛs].

«Quite [kwaɪt] so [səʊ],» he [hi¦] answered [ɑ¦nsəd], lighting [laɪtɪŋ] a [ə] cigarette [sɪgərɛt], and [ænd] throwing [θrəʊɪŋ] himself [hɪmsɛlf] down [daʊn] into [ɪntu¦] an [ən] armchair [ɑ¦mʧeə]. «You [ju¦] see [si¦], but [bʌt] you [ju¦] do [du¦] not [nɒt] observe [əbzɜ¦v].

«Frequently [fri¦kwəntli].»
«How [haʊ] often [ɒfn]?»
«Well [wɛl], some [sʌm] hundreds [hʌndrədz] of [ɒv] times [taɪmz].»
