The voices of The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor

7 voices in The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor by Arthur Conan Doyle. Every one is a separate voice, cast to the character as written.

  • Narrator (narrator) — Watson's first-person literary narration — warm, adventurous, admiring of Holmes.
  • Sherlock Holmes (protagonist) — 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 (protagonist) — Holmes's loyal friend and biographer. A former army surgeon, warm, practical, earnest. Speaks with admiration for Holmes and genuine concern for clients.
  • Inspector Lestrade (supporting) — Scotland Yard's lead inspector. Competent but conventional, inclined to the obvious theory. Treats Holmes with mixed scepticism and grudging reliance.
  • Lord Robert St. Simon (supporting) — A pompous, self-important English nobleman in The Noble Bachelor whose American bride disappears on the wedding day.
  • Hatty Doran (supporting) — The spirited American heiress in The Noble Bachelor who married St. Simon but had a prior husband she believed dead. Frank, unabashed, and unapologetic.
  • Francis Hay Moulton (supporting) — Hatty Doran's first husband in The Noble Bachelor, a prospector believed dead who resurfaces on her wedding day to Lord St. Simon.
