Welcome to 221B Baker Street! Enjoy the full, unabridged audiobook of "The Adventure of the Naval Treaty" (Episode 11) from "The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Dr. Watson receives a desperate appeal from his old schoolfellow, Percy Phelps, a rising Foreign Office diplomat. Tasked with copying a top-secret naval treaty between Great Britain and Italy, Phelps left his desk for mere minutes—only for the document to vanish when a mysterious bell rang. Afflicted with brain fever for weeks, Phelps begs Holmes to recover his lost honour. Put on your headphones and immerse yourself in this masterclass of Victorian espionage, deduction, and dramatic reveals, tailored for bedtime relaxation, restful sleep, study focus, or English listening practice. 📖 Story Synopsis: Percy Phelps, nephew of Foreign Minister Lord Holdhurst, is entrusted with copying an immensely sensitive secret naval treaty. Late one rainy evening at the Foreign Office, after ringing for coffee, Phelps hears the bell of his own office ringing. Rushing back, he discovers the original treaty has been stolen from his desk. The catastrophic loss drives Phelps into a nine-week delirium of brain fever at Briarbrae, his fiancée's family home in Woking. Once recovered, he calls upon Sherlock Holmes. After inspecting the Foreign Office, examining the curious suspects, and thwarting a stealthy knife-wielding intruder trying to break into Phelps's sickroom, Holmes devises an ingenious night stakeout to unmask the traitor and presents the lost treaty in the most dramatic breakfast dish in Baker Street history. ⏱️ Timestamps / Chapters: 00:00 Introduction – Watson's Schoolfellow Percy Phelps 04:00 The Letter from Briarbrae & Holmes's Chemical Test 07:30 Journey to Woking: Meeting Joseph Harrison & Annie 10:45 The Night at the Foreign Office & The Secret Treaty 15:15 The Mysterious Ringing Bell & The Vanished Papers 19:00 Chasing the Commissionaire's Wife in the Rain 23:30 Searching 16 Ivy Lane & Scotland Yard's dead end 27:15 Phelps's Brain Fever & Holmes Inspects the Premises 32:45 Lord Holdhurst Interview: The Stakes of War 37:15 The Midnight Knife Intruder at the Bedroom Window 42:30 Holmes Stays Behind at Woking 45:00 The Baker Street Breakfast: A Dramatic Surprise Under the Cover 49:30 Holmes Explains: The Trapdoor, the Floorboards & Joseph Harrison 📚 Book & Audio Details: Title: The Adventure of the Naval Treaty (Episode 11) Collection: The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1894) Author: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930) Characters: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. John Watson, Percy Phelps, Annie Harrison, Joseph Harrison, Lord Holdhurst, Inspector Forbes, Mrs. Tangey Setting: London (Foreign Office, Whitehall, Baker Street) and Woking, Surrey (Victorian Era) Format: Full Unabridged English Audiobook 🎧 About This Channel: We bring timeless public domain literature to life through clear, soothing audiobooks.
