The voices of The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
8 voices in The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle by Arthur Conan Doyle. Every one is a separate voice, cast to the character as written.
- Narrator — Watson's first-person literary narration — warm, adventurous, admiring of Holmes.
- Sherlock Holmes — The world's only consulting detective. Razor-sharp analytical mind, cold precision, theatrical wit. Alternates between lethargy and explosive energy. Speaks in crisp, certain pronouncements.
- Dr. Watson — Holmes's loyal friend and biographer. A former army surgeon, warm, practical, earnest. Speaks with admiration for Holmes and genuine concern for clients.
- Henry Baker — An absentminded, impoverished academic in The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle. Scholarly, verbose, and entirely unaware that his goose contained a priceless gem.
- James Ryder — The frightened, dishonest upper-attendant at the Hotel Cosmopolitan in The Blue Carbuncle. Stole the gem and planted it on an innocent man before panicking completely.
- Breckinridge — A blustery Covent Garden poultry salesman who sold the goose that contained the gem, combative when first pressed about its origin.
- Peterson — An honest commissionaire who finds the abandoned goose and the gem inside it, and brings both straight to Holmes.
- Maggie — A servant girl in James Ryder's household, briefly recalled in his own confession to Holmes.
