Wilson: She had just started when she told me about the Red-Headed League. Holmes: And what about your assistant, Miss Spaulding? How long has she been working for you? Holmes ( reading the sign) : “The Red-Headed League Is Dissolved.” N2: Wilson hands Holmes a piece of paper. But yesterday, I arrived at the office of the Red-Headed League and the door was locked. Wilson: For the next two months, I copied the books. Spaulding: I will look after it while you’re away. Now that you’re in the Red-Headed League, I promise you’ll never worry about money again. There will be other assignments after that. Wilson: There must be 100 books on those shelves! As for your duties, you will copy down every word of every book in this bookcase. Wilson: I hear you’re offering well-paying jobs to red-haired people like myself.ĭuncan Ross: That’s right! You will arrive promptly at 10 a.m. to the office of a man named Duncan Ross, whose hair is even redder than Wilson’s. N2: Spaulding steers Wilson through the crowd and up the stairs. N1: Men and women with all shades of auburn hair are walking to the same address. N3: Wilson and his assistant lock up the store and set off down the street. Spaulding: It wouldn’t be in the newspaper if it weren’t true, would it? Wilson: I can’t believe that someone would offer me a job just because my hair is red. You should go apply right away, before all the jobs are taken. He left his fortune for one thing: providing easy jobs for people whose hair was red like his. Spaulding: The Red-Headed League was founded by an American millionaire named Emerson Hopkins. Spaulding: With flame-colored hair like yours, sir, I would think you knew all about it. Wilson ( reading) : What in the world is the Red-Headed League? N3: She pulls a newspaper ad from her pocket and hands it to him. Spaulding: Perhaps this will cheer you up. Wilson: Good? It’s miserable outside, and that means we’ll have no customers. N2: The dusty shelves are lined with candles, candies, and soaps. N1: His assistant, Victoria Spaulding, is standing behind the counter. N3: Wilson enters his shop and stamps his feet.
