This episode from the life of Sherlock
Holmes will be transmitted to our men and

2
00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:09.359
women overseas by short wave through the
worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:16.719
Petree Wine brings you Raffle, Lockbone
and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures

4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:27.600
of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took time to bring

5
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.559
you good wine, invites you to
listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting

6
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:36.679
adventure he shared with his good friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And

7
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.759
if you ask me, the best
way to listen to that story is to

8
00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:44.600
do it with a glass of Port
wine right handy Petrie California Port. No

9
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.600
kidding that Petree Port is just swell
for any time good friends get together to

10
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:53.159
talk things over. You couldn't ask
for a more delicious wine. Why just

11
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:56.880
looking at the deep, rich red
color that Petri Port tells you that here

12
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.200
is a wine with a flavor that
comes right from the heart of sunrise and

13
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.439
grapes. If you haven't ever tried
Petre report, why not get a bottle

14
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:07.079
and have a glass after dinner tomorrow
night. It's a perfect after dent wine,

15
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:11.680
you know, and share that port
with your family and your friends.

16
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.040
Don't forget when you serve pat report, you can serve it proudly, because

17
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.000
after all, the name Petrie is
the proudest name and the history of American

18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:30.519
wines. And now let's keep our
weekly appointment. Get in, Docty Watson,

19
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.640
drop it, sir, thank you. That's it. By the way,

20
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.319
do you know what date it is? November fifth, isn't it?

21
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.799
That's right? In England it's known
as Guy Fox Day. Do you ever

22
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.400
heard there's something to do with a
gunpowder plot? Isn't it? Yes,

23
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.640
mister about tell it is. And
as Sherlock Holmes and I had a very

24
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.400
unusual venture on the fifth of November
many years ago, it seems appropriate that

25
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.599
I should tell you about it tonight
before I begin. I think it might

26
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.000
help you to appreciate the true flavor
of the story if I tell you a

27
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:06.400
little about the origin and the customs
of Guy Fox Day. It's well well,

28
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.000
my boy, on November the fifth, sixteen hundred and five, exactly

29
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.840
three hundred and forty years ago today, King James the First was about to

30
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.120
attend the opening of Parliament when the
plot was discovered. They blow up the

31
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.000
House of Lords during the ceremony,
and the chief conspirator was Guy Fawkes.

32
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.280
I suppose yes he was. He
was captured in the vault immediately below the

33
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.879
House of Lords, a vault full
of barrels of gunpowder. Of course,

34
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:32.240
he and his fellow conspirators were executed, and ever since then, remember the

35
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:37.479
fifth has been known as Guy Fox
Day. Well, how's it celebrated.

36
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:39.840
Well, it's a great time for
the youngsters, mister Bartel. They bleacked

37
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.520
their faces throng the streets, begging
for pennies, and build bonfires in which

38
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:51.199
to burn effiges of Guy Fox.
These effiges are life sized dummies, stuffed

39
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.719
with straw and dressed in old clothes. The children paraded them in the streets,

40
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.520
chanting rhymes. Well let me see, please to remember the fifth of

41
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:04.120
November, Guy Fox. Guy hit
him in the eye. The kids must

42
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.080
have quite a time, sort of
like Halloween. It's not I unlike it,

43
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.599
my boy. Well, now that
I've told you something about the customs

44
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.639
of Guy Fox Day, I'll get
on with my story. It began just

45
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.080
before lunch. I remember November the
fifth, eighteen hundred and ninety nine.

46
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.080
The day was foggy and cold,
and Holmes and I seated each side of

47
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.879
a blazing fire in our Baker Street
rooms. From outside, we could hear

48
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:32.520
the sound of voices laughing and singing. Suddenly Homes rose and crossed the window,

49
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:45.560
opened it and looked out. Then
he turned to me and spoke,

50
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:51.280
Sten having a great time Watchnante.
Yes, course they're stilling worth a phillas

51
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.360
to walk here this morning. Has
it occurred to you watching that be guns

52
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:58.439
out of plus offer very promising materials
with the stickamitic mind? In what way,

53
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:00.960
Homes? I say it's wanted it
chill in here? Don't you think

54
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:06.479
you might shut that window? Sorry, oh chap, As I was saying,

55
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.400
the gunpowder plot offers very promising material
to the speculative mind. I made

56
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.319
something of a study of the historical
records of the case. There's more than

57
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:17.879
a little evidence to suggest that King
James was never in any real danger,

58
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:23.040
never in any danger. What makes
you say that knowledge of the proposed dubt

59
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.680
to this scheme came to life early
that James Stuart, King of England,

60
00:04:27.079 --> 00:04:30.639
the possessor of a shrewd and diabolical
mind, used the spectacular discovery of the

61
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.920
plant to try and bolster his weight
popularity, as well as to justify increased

62
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.560
religious persecutions as the first I've heard
of it, I day awful of it's

63
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.199
true, just the same. I'm
afraid James Stuart, King of England,

64
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:46.279
was an unscrupulous tyrant. Come in. Oh, yes, missus Hudson,

65
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.639
there was a gentleman to see you, mister Holmes. He said it was

66
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.480
very important. He asked me to
give you his car. Thank Missus Hudson.

67
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.279
Oh, ask him to come up
please, will you? Hi?

68
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.079
Who is an home a gentleman with
a remarkably fine sense of time? We

69
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:10.680
discard yourself. Look, mister James
Stewart, great Scott, that's extra any

70
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:14.360
instance that he should arrive just as
we're talking about James Stewart, King of

71
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.839
England. I mean, mister James
Stewart. How do you do? Mister

72
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.319
Stuart. I'm mis Sheelck Holmes,
and this is my colleague doctor. What

73
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.879
how do you do? How Holmes? You've got to help me. I'm

74
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.959
walking about model fear of my life. You've got to help me, mister

75
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:30.680
Stewart. I suggest that you sit
down. I'll do anything in my power

76
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.560
to help you. But you must
compose yourself first and tell me quietly what

77
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.360
it is that's frightening you. Oh
can I compose myself when I may be

78
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.439
dead within a few hours? And
no, I'm mister Stewart. I'm a

79
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:42.279
doctor. I really think if I
were to give you a sedative that you'd

80
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:47.199
find out. Can you talk of
senators? When? Doctor? All right?

81
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.000
All right, not here, let
me help you with this sofa.

82
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.639
Here's Holmes. I'll give him some
digitalis the fellow with a bad heart like

83
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:06.199
this shouldn't allared so to get so
excited And now this, mister Stewart,

84
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:15.120
what is it? It's digitaris very
well? No better time? Yes,

85
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:21.120
mister Holmes, Yes I do.
Hey, you're right. I shouldn't get

86
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.399
so excited. My heart can't stand
it, you know, Watson? Is

87
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.600
he well? Not to talk to
you? Think? Yes, you're just

88
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:33.720
excited over again. I'll be careful
doctor. I'll take it quietly, mister

89
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:39.040
Holmes. When you saw my car, just know did it strike any responsive

90
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.279
court? Naturally? Sir? Who
could fail to be intrigued when a James

91
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.120
Stewart calls to see one on Guy
Fowk's day. It isn't just coincidence that

92
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.600
my name is James Stewart's. I've
got royal blood in my veins. People

93
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.279
know of it, and that's another
reason they're out to kill me. They're

94
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.000
jealous of my heritage. Every instinct
I have a a royal one. No,

95
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.199
you gentlemen know that falcon is a
king sport. I'm a great His

96
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.319
hobby is a breeding in the training
of false to us, he's mister Stewart.

97
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.800
Owing to the state of your health, I suggest that you be as

98
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.680
economical as possible in your explanation.
In fact, I think it might be

99
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.160
better if I were to question you
very well, mister Holmes. Now you

100
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.680
say that your life is in danger. What evidence do you have to substantiate

101
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:17.920
that claim. My cousin Guy Fault
and they has threatened it. Now you

102
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:20.800
see, mister Holmes, he and
I are the only heirs to a wealthy

103
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:25.680
uncle. His fortune will go to
the surviving heir. If I were dead,

104
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.000
Guy would inherit everything to mister Stewart. You should have applied to Scoffing

105
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.639
here for protection. I did doctor
Watson. Only a few days ago.

106
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:38.399
I saw certain inspector Strada I think
his name was, and he laughed at

107
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:44.160
my field and he laughed, did
he? Well? Then, in that

108
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.879
case, there may be something in
your story, sir. You say that

109
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:50.279
your cousin has threatened to kill you. Has he indicated the method he intends

110
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.720
to employ? He has, and
it's a devilish plot. Guy has a

111
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.199
bit of a twisted sense of humor, gentleman, even when he's planning as

112
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.800
dustily a thing as a murder.
I am James Stewart. He is Guy

113
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.480
faultinby which is near enough. The
guy Fox. Today is the fifth of

114
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.879
November, and he's planning to blow
me up. Who come, Come comes?

115
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.920
You can't expect us to believe them
for this troupe He won me,

116
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.480
and the celebrations that are going on
in the streets of London to day would

117
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.519
make a rare club for his activities. I must confess, mister Stuart,

118
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:26.279
that I find your story most I'm
convincing. All your evidence appears to depend

119
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.160
on conversations held between you and this
cousin of yours. You have no facts,

120
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.039
sir, to substantiate your planes,
but I have, then, please

121
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.320
let us hear them. I'll live
at twenty three Cavendish Square. A week

122
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.840
ago the house next door to me
was let to a new tenant. Almost

123
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.159
immediately watman became very active there.
They were digging in the sellers. Mister

124
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:50.200
Holmes, I could hear the sounds
of picks and shovels through the walls the

125
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:56.360
cells. That does sound significant,
dune homes extremely Did you observe any other

126
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.799
activities of the workman, Mister Stewart
him, mister Rooms than have been delivering

127
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.399
large packing cases to the basement during
the last two days. And I know

128
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.799
what send them to. It's going
put of I tell you they're planning to

129
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:13.240
blow me up today. A citizens
statistis city. You mustn't excite yourself again.

130
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.919
What shall I do, mister Holmes, I think say I put the

131
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.480
better of you to rest here for
a while and then go to a nearby

132
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:22.399
hotel. I would suggest the shop
spring and wait there until you care from

133
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.320
us. And where are you gentlemen
going, Watson and I, after Donning's

134
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:28.759
suit disguise, is well visit the
house of joining yours and Cappini just square.

135
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:45.919
I think an examination of the seller
there might prove much illuminating. This

136
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:48.600
sposed to be the household right homes
the empty packing cases is still by the

137
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.399
foot of the basement. Stepson,
Let's go on and explore on my soul.

138
00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.039
I feel a little self consciousness in
these clothes. No need too,

139
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.840
my a champ. You look a
most authentic inspector of pumbing. If anyone

140
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.759
challenges us, you'd better let me
do the talking, though, I think

141
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:13.320
my accent might be a little more
convincing. Sh listen, I can't hear

142
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.840
anything exactly. Then we may reasonably
assume that either the workmen are observing the

143
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.919
guy fawks holiday or that their work
is done a moment's tide this door,

144
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.960
so I'm noted. Yes, this
is too easy, Watson. We must

145
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:35.039
be prepared for tramp. Come on, I've gotten out of all the handle

146
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.360
of this. There's any trouble,
don't use it until I tell you to

147
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:46.320
Remember we are supposed to be plumbing
inspectors. Spitch black in here. I

148
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.519
can't see a thing. Strike a
match. If you can't find a gas

149
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.000
jet, strike a match, or
the cellar may be full of drum paddle.

150
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:58.840
Won't take the RISKO, chap h
here's a gesture. Do I like

151
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:05.639
it? That's better? Now we
can see a little uh huh. I

152
00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:09.879
think the workmen have completed their job. See that new wood forming a crude

153
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.720
door in the corner over there?
Where does it lead to? Just first

154
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:26.039
doubt? Oh? Also unlocked.
Here's a miner's vantum waiting conveniently for us

155
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:30.279
on this ledge. Oh this is
ridiculously you see now, I'm sure it's

156
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:35.960
a trap. I like the lattern
grits. It's a tunnel. Yes,

157
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:46.399
it's a tunnel leading into mister Stewart's
house next door. Let's explore it.

158
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:50.039
Look comes, look at the barrels. That's a full of gunpowder. Undoubtedly,

159
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:54.559
will it deserve the fuses as well? Yes, the complete equipment for

160
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.919
another gunpowder plot. I can't believe
my eyes. What a fantastic plan.

161
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:03.039
But could the murder of a certain
that Stuart would be killed in the explosion?

162
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.240
I think that's usually answered, buttson, remember mister Stuart's bad heart,

163
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.200
in his present state of apprehension,
and exploding fire cracker would be enough to

164
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:13.679
kill him. I suppose, Hello, what's this lying on the floor?

165
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:20.720
Curious funny strip of silk was a
little ring on the end. Let me

166
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:26.080
see button. Uh huh, this
seems to be familiar. White jove a

167
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.279
bit to es yes, well,
the last piece of evidence necessary to conturn

168
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:35.279
the conclusion. I think the hands
about the heads. I've got a revolver

169
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.720
right chard governor behind doing no arm
I remember watch them. I'll do the

170
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:50.679
talking. Come on, hard to
come. Well, you're a comical looking

171
00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:54.600
pair. What are you doing in
there? At? Me and my mate

172
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:58.000
got a message to come over here
and seeing the plumbing mister plumbers. Eh,

173
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.559
do you have any identify occasion?
Yes, sir, here's my bad.

174
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.399
We'll inspect us for the London County
Council. Oh that's all right,

175
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.639
my man. I saw the basement
door open and eye and I thought burgers

176
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.639
might be here. You're the owner
of this house, sir, yes,

177
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.480
but my agent littered recent and tans
have been behaving rather queerly, untold,

178
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.039
so I came around here. Don't
see what was happening. If you're the

179
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.000
owner, sir, perhaps you can't
give me some facts for me records,

180
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.840
film me records. You know what
do you want to know? Well?

181
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:28.399
Your name lisir, fulken guy?
Look Alfie alf old your nose? What

182
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.159
did he say? Nothing? Say
nothing? He's got bed he cups at

183
00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:35.440
ford him for months now, can't
stop him alfhie, here give me a

184
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:39.559
pencil, will you? Thank you? Al now, sir, your name

185
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.879
is Guy Falcamby. What's the name
of the the tenant this apse is led

186
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:46.960
to. There are three of them, you know the name? Then got

187
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.279
to have them for me records,
you see, Yes, the names of

188
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:56.720
Winter rope Wood and Kane. I
oh, yes, Winter rope Wood and

189
00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:01.000
Kines. That's right, sir.
Stan says that they might be a firm

190
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.159
of solicitors. Doubt based. Perhaps
they are. I haven't met him.

191
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.919
Just one more questions, sir,
and then I needn't bother you no more.

192
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:11.440
Well, what is it my religion
or my grandmother's maiden name? Say?

193
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.639
Not being knight bad. I just
wanted to lived in the house next

194
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:18.000
door on that side. We've had
a compact from there. Two rare pipes

195
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.960
is bugged up. My cousin lives
there. His name is James Stewart.

196
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.679
Mister James Stewart. Eh, I'm
a blind, sir, Me and me

197
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:28.120
mate ve going next door and come
on, Alfie, I'm not surprised this

198
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.000
pipes I'm bugged up. As just
a graphically put it. He's a great

199
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.480
one for practical jokes about the house. As a matter of fact, he's

200
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:37.879
planning one of them tonight. Oh
well, that's no concern of yours.

201
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:41.159
By the way, my man,
what's your name? Nivitzer? Tom nivid

202
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:56.919
Go Alphie. We've got work to
do, homes. I wish you'd tell

203
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:00.320
me what's going on. Well,
we'd take this cab back to Bakers Street,

204
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.679
get out of these clothes, and
they have served their purpose. Now

205
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.799
there's more serious work of foot.
Well, I'm still confused about an interview

206
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:09.799
with Guy Culkinby. Why did you
say your name was Tom kntt more?

207
00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.600
A touch of Vanity Hill follow vanefere? How do you mean? Well,

208
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.639
consider the names in this case so
far Watson. James Stewart says that he's

209
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.720
been threatened by Guy falconby a name. As mister Stuart points out, not

210
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.639
unlike Guy Fawkes. You'll call the
names of the free tenants that mister Faulknley

211
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.279
gave us a few minutes ago.
Yes, Winter, Rodwood and Canes.

212
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.320
But what's that got to do with
it? A great deal? Maria Fellow,

213
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:39.080
Thomas Winter, Ambo's Rokewood and Robert
Kaynes were the free men executed with

214
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.759
Guy Fox in the original gunpower plot
in sixteen log Where does Tom Nivetty the

215
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.960
name of yourself put into the mixture? Thomas Knivett was the Westminster magistrate who

216
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.960
arrested the conspirators, since they would
be murderer of such an academic knowledge of

217
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.399
the original plot, I thought i'd
let him know that he was up against

218
00:15:54.440 --> 00:16:07.759
him, opponent worthy of his Still, we'll hear the rest of doctor watson

219
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.960
story in just a few seconds.
Just about time for me to remind you

220
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:14.399
that if you want a wine that
you're to please the ladies, you can't

221
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:19.519
miss with Petrie California muscatel. That's
because Petrie muscatel is a golden wine with

222
00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:23.399
one of the most luscious flavors you
ever tasted. Did you ever taste a

223
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.840
big plump muscat grape that's ripened in
the sun. If you had, then

224
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:33.159
you know what to expect when you
taste Petree muscatell. It's a wonderful wine,

225
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.039
perfect after dinner and swell when company
comes. Just remember that, won't

226
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.720
you, Petrie muscatell. Well,
doctor, you and mister Holmes were certainly

227
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.159
having yourselves quite a guy foalks day. What happened when you got back to

228
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:49.320
Baker Street. We changed out about
disguises and be controlled in the clothes.

229
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.600
I was still pretty much in the
dark as usual, and I kept christening

230
00:16:55.679 --> 00:17:00.639
Holmes next to our next move,
even in the streets of suppressed excitement.

231
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:04.000
And it was obvious as he spoke
to me that he was anxious to be

232
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:11.359
all what's there's so much work ahead
of using up Dawley. I'm bless you

233
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.799
as fast I can. What's our
next move to split off horses? Let's

234
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:18.599
get hold of my band of the
street echines, the bakest street of regulars.

235
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.319
I'm going to surround mister Stewart's house
in Cavendish Square, and they will

236
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:23.240
be invaluable for that purpose. So
what do you want me to do?

237
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.279
Go to past the hotel and collect
mister Stewart and return with him to his

238
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.640
house and wait for there. I
shall join you as soon as I've rounded

239
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.880
up the irregulars. But I must
warn you don't leave mister Stewart for a

240
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.599
moment. Don't set him out your
sight until you see me again. Cross

241
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.119
I want Hermes. But two,
I must say, ideal of all that

242
00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.759
gunper in the cellar doesn't make me
feel in it too person or chat fat

243
00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:45.960
in me. I wouldn't expose you
to any danger if I could avoid it,

244
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:48.359
and I assure you that I shall
join you in, mister Stuart.

245
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.720
But it's shortly you have your revolv
yes, of course, good? And

246
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:57.519
UH give mister Stuart this revolver.
Will you tell him that I insist that

247
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:03.279
he carries it. I fear that
his own has probably been tempered with to

248
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:07.119
your homes I'll see, here's it. This is a strange business. I

249
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:11.759
must sir, that guy Falkener seemed
such a decent sort of follow. Yes,

250
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.319
he appeared to be a most amiable
fellow, didn't he. This is

251
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.640
indeed an unusual case, Watson.
We're off against one of the most sinister

252
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.359
and twisted antagonists that we've never met. Well, a chap. I'm leaving

253
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.000
now on a joint soon, and
don't forget stay close to mister Stuart,

254
00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:38.279
Stay very close to him, Dr
Watson. I wish your friend were here,

255
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.279
Hannah, and I don't get so
excited. Mister Stewart, you'll be

256
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.000
here in a moment. Now.
You've still got the revolver that I gave

257
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.640
you. Yes, that's in my
pocket. But what's the good of a

258
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:49.559
revolver if there should be an explosion, answer me that if you can,

259
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:52.839
and you must have faith in mister
Holm. Sir, he's arranging now to

260
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:57.039
have his house of yours surrounded by
his band of street urchins. They'll see

261
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.839
that no one gets to the cellar
next door to light diffuses a bunch of

262
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:06.319
children. How can they do anything
if you don't know the Baker street irregulars,

263
00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.960
mister Stuart, and it's a perfect
day for them to operate as black

264
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.759
faced boys begging for petus. They'd
pass unnoticed anywhere. I hope you're right,

265
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.440
but I have a premonition, doctor, there's going to be a tragedy.

266
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.200
I know one. I'll take it
easy, sir, your heart,

267
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.359
you're in splended hands when Shelock Holmes
is on the case. Here he is

268
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.079
now, Holmes, I say,
I'm glad to see you. You received

269
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:33.359
your visitor, yet visit them.
We've seen no one than beyond your let.

270
00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:37.519
I've just been questioning the boys surrounding
this house. A few moments ago,

271
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:40.960
some children pulled a small cart up
to the back door. God continue

272
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:44.240
a life sized dummy. My irregulars
thought that it was a methody on its

273
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.720
way to a bunfa. Why shouldn't
it be home? I reason to believe

274
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:51.960
that it's someone visiting you in disguise, mister Stuart, a visitor who is

275
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:56.079
mounting the back stairs at this very
moment. You've got to turn buy me

276
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:02.480
homes. You've got to protect me, sir. And who will give that

277
00:20:02.599 --> 00:20:06.400
apple research to cut? A guy
fox down? A doctor in his hand,

278
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:10.519
and it's walking and also talking.
I trust, keep away from me.

279
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:15.799
I got above victorious. Say if
you want to give me one,

280
00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:18.880
not take two. The better for
me and the worse for you. It's

281
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.079
guy falking. Keep away from me. You hear, better for me and

282
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.599
the worse for you. All right? Then I've got a fire that is,

283
00:20:27.640 --> 00:20:30.119
mister stupid of Bob that I've provided
for you seems to be unloaded.

284
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.119
How verty are what in fun?
Is all this about? Just witnessing an

285
00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:36.759
attempted murder? What's murder? What
are you talking about? This is a

286
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.319
game, James and I had it
arranged the whole thing. You may have

287
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:41.559
thought it was a game, mister
Parker me, but I assure you that

288
00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:49.279
you're coming mister Watson alone. Take
your friends off me. Put him on

289
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:56.119
the server. I'll give him some
digitarists. Look, I don't want to

290
00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.079
appear unnecessarily to stop it, but
will someone tell me what this is all

291
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:02.039
about? With pleasure? Mister Faucnby, your cousin had planned one of the

292
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:04.839
most fantastic murder plots that I've ever
encountered. He came to us with the

293
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:07.839
story which would threatened his life.
But that's ridiculous. Under a fond of

294
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:11.640
him, of course it's ridiculous.
The whole plot was ridiculous. He leased

295
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.920
the house next door had a tunnel
dug when gunpowder and fuses planted there,

296
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.640
even under the name of the tenant, says Winter brokewood and canes to get

297
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.599
the apparent plot a further authenticity.
You mean my cousin was the real tenant,

298
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.799
certainly he was. However, he
was toumsy enough to drop that m

299
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.200
piece of silk with the wire ring
on the end that you found your cella

300
00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:33.680
Watson. So you call a jest. And what's a jess. It's a

301
00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:37.279
strap that goes round the falcon's legs
which its leash is fastened. You will

302
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:42.480
remember that mister Stuart informed us that
falconray is his hobby, and if therefore

303
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:48.200
indicated that he had been in the
cellar and consequently must have known about the

304
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:49.559
whole part. And all he was
trying to do is to build up in

305
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.079
our minds of belief that his cousin
was trying to kill him, exactly,

306
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:55.519
my dear fellow. And had we
believed him, of course he could have

307
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:59.400
shut you just now, mister Falconby
in apparent self defense. God Lord,

308
00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:03.279
what a fantastic plant. I I
still can't find this, mister Falknby.

309
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:06.160
Why are you dressed as a guy
Fawk's dummy? Well, it was James's

310
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:08.079
idea. He said that he was
going to dress up too, and if

311
00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:11.440
we were to go around the bondfast
night and frighten people by by appearing as

312
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.279
live dummies. But the last message
you sent to me to come up here,

313
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:17.759
that we'd play a practical joke on
a couple of friends of his.

314
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:19.079
And did he provide you with the
costume that you're wearing. Yes, as

315
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:22.480
a matter of fact, he did. If you searched the pockets for any

316
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:25.000
weapons, no, But I will
all right while you're doing that, I'll

317
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.759
examine this dark lantern. How's your
patient? Watson. I've given him some

318
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:32.000
digitalis no, give him some friends. I can't find anything in the pockets.

319
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.119
He's the answer, my friends.
Look here inside the lanterns a dagger.

320
00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.359
Our cousin planted it there to substantiate
the claim that you were trying to

321
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.599
kill him. Had his plans worked, you would have been dead, mister

322
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.200
porkinby before you could have told us
the truth. Here, come back here,

323
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.920
missus still, he said, he's
taking the habsack. Come on,

324
00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:15.480
what's not home? Homes well,
oil out of the way, please blow

325
00:23:15.559 --> 00:23:18.880
me. He comes to dove here
and I'm in chance. Excuse me please,

326
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:22.279
I'm trying to find a friend of
mine first and put home. Well,

327
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:29.079
are you watch? Come I here, you car out of the way,

328
00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:34.039
please, I'm coming home. Tie
you got away from in the car,

329
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:37.680
got away from us. We will
never find him in this Smart twelve

330
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.680
is a dangerous man. There's no
knowing what he may do. Weather your

331
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.640
regulars. There's Wiggins. Wiggins.
You can see a man run out of

332
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.640
that house. A few minutes ago. John brad Joy did hey, Charley,

333
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.160
mom in there. It's your own
all right, I said, Charley

334
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:56.160
didn't see anything. Now he's got
some savvy girl with you. Hello,

335
00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:00.599
mister Holmes and doctor Water. Did
you see a man run through this crowd

336
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:02.920
a few minutes ago, Torris man
with a grain of starch, Yes,

337
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:06.039
I did. One man came running
out of the ouse over there. Here's

338
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.359
the ouse. Wig go. He
runs down toward toward the sharp tre he

339
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:11.240
he shut up, he did so
what we are going to burn on a

340
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.839
pond fire? I tried to stop, but he got a play home.

341
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:18.799
Don't looked up down the roof.
There's a figure like Joe's Jack shut that's

342
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.680
the man. He's the one a
store off dummy. He's standing up on

343
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:23.359
the road. He's going to jump. If he does, he's throwing the

344
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:30.759
line of a pawn fire. Then
he goes. He is jumping right into

345
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.839
the middle of the park. He'll
be there yet. Don't bunny the gangs.

346
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:37.720
That was no man who fell into
the pile. What do you mean

347
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:40.200
from the girations with the pick up
a pond? I said, kill my

348
00:24:40.279 --> 00:24:44.359
dear Watson. I'm convinced that mister
Stuart threw the stolen dummy to try and

349
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:45.640
put us off the track. And
then Stuart's still up there. He is

350
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:48.319
watching come on, old boy,
he's up on the rooftops for us.

351
00:24:48.599 --> 00:25:08.720
Up on the roof tops, you, Watson, let me help you out?

352
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.920
Can you reach my hand? I
got it all right? Then up

353
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:18.640
you come. Come on. It
seems to me that fire escapes must be

354
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:23.599
designed for chance. Keep your eye
skinned, old Fellow's st A dangerous man

355
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.039
might be hiding behind those timnistacks.
Come on, pull my soul. This

356
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:34.200
is a strange place to be on
guy Fox night. Yes, a comprehensive

357
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:38.359
case. Watson starts in a cellar
and ends on the rooftop. Look homes,

358
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:42.960
by the power of it. A
crumpled body of mister Stewart looks to

359
00:25:44.039 --> 00:25:49.319
me as if it Yes, he's
dead, Holmes, Well, it's not

360
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:52.799
surprising. The habit of carrying down
me up here and throwing it, combined

361
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.920
with his own state of excitement for
too much for him. Oh thank you.

362
00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:59.920
I can't say that. I'm sorry. No, he planned the murder.

363
00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:03.279
Haven't been for you? E would
have succeeded an extraordinary kiss Homes.

364
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:07.519
Yes, it's happened. One that
should run. Make us remember the fifth

365
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.720
November. Yes, please to remember
the fifth November gunpowder treason, and plus

366
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:26.920
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
forever produ Well, doctor, as you

367
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.079
boys would say, that story was
a bit of exciting. What yes,

368
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:36.359
even though I sort of lose my
breath when I remember climbing that forest.

369
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:38.200
You know, doctor, those two
fellas certainly went out of their way to

370
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.880
celebrate Guy Fox day. Now take
me when I got a little celebrating the

371
00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:45.240
doe. I like to do it
quietly, some friends, A glass of

372
00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:51.599
port pet reports. What else leave
to you? No matter what de occasion

373
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.680
is, you can somehow make it
the perfect occasion for Petry wine. How

374
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.119
do you do it? Who to
ask me? How I do it?

375
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.079
You mean, how to do the
Petrie family do it? How can they

376
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:06.400
make that swell wine? Well,
the answer is experience. The Petrie family

377
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:10.920
has been making fine wine for generations, and ever since they first established the

378
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:15.319
Petree business way back in the eighteen
hundreds, they've handed on down from father

379
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:19.119
to son, from father to son, the fine art of turning luscious sun

380
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:25.279
ripe and California grapes into fragrant,
delicious wine. That's why when you want

381
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:29.759
a wine for any occasion before dinner
with your meals are after dinner, you

382
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:33.920
can't go wrong. With a Petree
wine because Petree took time to bring you

383
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:38.160
good wine. And now, doctor
Watson, what's your Lock Holme's adventure you're

384
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.359
going to tell us next week?
Old favorite was about to tell a story

385
00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:47.359
that concerns strange music that was heard
in a lonely house in the English countryside

386
00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:52.839
of the Living Death that stopped there. I call it the Adventure of a

387
00:27:52.920 --> 00:28:17.079
Speckled Bird Tonight. Sherlock Holmes Adventure
is written by Dennis Green and Antony Boucher

388
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:21.559
and was suggested by an incident in
this Arthur Conan Doyle story. The Adventure

389
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:26.519
of the Devil's Foot music was by
Dean Fossler. Mister Rathbone appears through the
