I loved listening to this. Thank you.

Wonderful.

Very sad story: I remember it being on tv too.

Thanks

Well done! Thanks for sharing.

i’ve heard this story before, but decided to give it a listen anyway. of course, a different interpretation.
Spoiler!!
one thing - i got so lost in listening to that poor man’s story, that almost at the end, i was stunned realizing it wasn’t really him talking, but you. got right back into it though. a good one, Simon! 🌷🌱

What an absolute delight you are sir!!!

That was amazing, especially the change in dialect. 😲 I felt like I listening to the criminal himself.

Most beautifully done.

Thank you

Stop putting the Pee Pee ad on, the Trump of the North.

Thanks

I'm catching up after being in an area of minimal wi-fi for weeks...what a pleasure to have all these new stories read by you, Simon, waiting on my return.
I always enjoy your readings tremendously, but was particularly impressed by the Liverpool seaman. A reminder of your versatility, in addition to the precision and clarity with which you read. Thank you.

Excellent!!!

Great performance. Thanks 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

Thank you, not only for a very good rendition of the story but also for the interesting notes. I especially appreciate you giving us the reference to the beautiful violin music you chose for the lead in ❤

DEEEEEELIGHTFULL❤

Love your channel Simon... superb narration. I slow down the speed and it creates a soporific and sleepy night time companion for this insomniac. Bless you and thanks 💙🌠📚

Wspaniałe, dziękuję bardzo

It's a beautiful image, it's on display here in The Walker Art Gallery, or at least it was. It's some time since I last went. I have been trying to get to the end of this story but I keep falling asleep. I listen in bed and so it's great that it helps me go off. However it's also rather annoying because I've still not reached the end since you posted it Simon 😂

Thanks, your collection of stories and your eloquence of expression have given me hours of pleasure

Thank you. This story--though I have only an average familiarity with Sherlock Holmes--immediately seems set apart, different cadence, different style. After your excellent reading, I read your notes. Ah, Conan Doyle himself pulled the story from early publication. I think it's because of the reason stated bult also because the format just doesn't fit his generally sprightly deductions.

Simon, you are an international treasure! I’m always amazed at your skill in taking stories I’ve heard many times and making them new. Thank you again!

Greetings from The Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. Late nights. No TV. Look forward your readings.

Pardon me if I have missed it, but have you done CASTING THE RUNES?
And here's one which I am convinced only you could do justice: THE NOTCH ON THE AX by Thackeray. 😉

You are the best honestly!!!!

Thank you so much 💚💚💚🍀🍀🍀

Walking ...❤

Great as always but your scouse accent was sooo good usually people go over the top but yours reminded me of my Liverpool family 😊 thank you

Thanks!

I like your voice its very soothing! Love the story as well

Sweet! Thanks for another story 🙌🏻

Excellent… As always!!

Excellent story, Simon (Gayle L. :)

Wonderful as always. Your narration never fails. Thank you.

One of my favorite Holmes stories, and one of the saddest. I remember how beautifully acted it was in the television series, with Ciarán Hinds, Joanna David, and Deborah Findlay. But you bring it all to life with just your voice. Thank you so much for another wonderful piece of work.

I always give thumbs up to theses great videos👍👍

my favorite part was when Holmes points his cane at Watson and asks him, "What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX!"

Thank you Simon ❤

Most relaxing & enjoyable listening a real treat for a stormy evening, Thank You Simon for another literary resurrection from the past

Yippee 😂❤

Hi Simon, I love the pleasantness of your channel.

There are many stories you’ve narrated. I’d request you to create a playlist of your favourite stories.
That way, new visitors like me can listen to them first.

If I’ve missed it somehow, let me know.

Consistently great narration and story. Thanks, this is so peaceful to listen to, even though it was a gristly murder.
It's too bad Browner had nobody to confide in. He would have been advised to kick Sarah out., and told Mary what Sarah had done. If Mary divorced him, and gone off with her lover, let her, it would not last. The lover was really a sneaky coward and soon would have been found out.

Ah, Simon!! Your speaking as the Seaman, Browner..., the slightly trilled "r"s, the faintly accentuated "k"s, at the ends of words... a fine tuned rendition of~although I probably don't have this right~Manchester with a smattering of Liverpool, is it?~or Liverpool with a smattering of Manchester? Lol, I don't guess I really know, but you certainly nailed it ~with a great deal of shine! Bravo!👍
