Bedtime Stories with BVJ - The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton PART 1

Tonight's story:

The Adventure of Charles Augusts Milverton, by Arthur Conan Doyle

Holmes and Watson return to Baker Street from one of their walks to find the calling card of one Charles Augustus Milverton, a name that means nothing to Watson but one that disgusts Holmes. Holmes tells Watson that Milverton is the “worst man in London” and the “king of all the blackmailers”.

Milverton pays large sums of money for compromising material and receives much from maids, valets and other sources, and then, when the time is right, demands a great deal more to not release the content of the said material. Noble families have been brought to their knees, and more than one suicide can be attributed to the work of Milverton.
