"Ah, Sergeant, does your soul thrill as mine does to these seas of cloud, to this god-like perspective? To this god-like power? Look at it down there. London. Just look at it. The Thames a marvellous piddle-stream of silver 'neath the August moon. Those huddled lights. Those countless tiny lives. The poor-but-honest folk of Spitalfields, of Hackney, Shoreditch, Wapping... Limehouse. Commence the pyro-explosive bombardment."
"Sham modesty. It ill becomes you. What is leaving alpenstock and a silver cigarette case on a lonely mountain pathway, if not playing to your legend?"
"Why, sir, it is Olympian! We tread the very borders of mythology!"
Good audition! Careful with your pronunciation though, have a listen to mine to see how the place names are supposed to sound (I lived in London hence why I know)
I see. I had a class that had students in different grade levels in high school so I never really had the proper British Literature lecture in twelfth grade.
Do you want me to do it again?
It's not my project, but I'd give it another go if I were you. Moriarty was an upper class British man who would likely speak with an RP Accent meaning correct pronunciation would be very important to him. If you haven't done RP before there are some very good YouTube tutorials on the correct vowel formations :)
