of my listeners aren't in the UK, and I'm sure to know all about

8
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:11,560
Guy Fox Day, but those of
us in other parts of the world who

9
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,359
may be vague on the details are
going to learn a lot. In our

10
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:22,319
Sherlock Holmes Guy Fox Day special.
When we were playing all the Old Time

11
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:26,680
Radio Sherlock Home episodes in the early
twenty tens, I noticed that there were

12
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:34,480
two different episodes of Sherlock Holmes recorded
three years apart by two separate creative teams.

13
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:41,719
I'd had the idea for years of
comparing these two episodes, and then

14
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,239
noted last year that this year's Guy
Fox Day will fall on a Sunday when

15
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,000
I don't have a regular episode playing. So this seemed like the perfect time

16
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:59,680
to do it. Today's episode features
a guest introduction. I decided to reach

17
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:07,239
out to the most knowledgeable expert I
personally knew in British history, Donna Fletcher

18
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:14,560
Crowe. Donna is a novelist of
British history. She's written over fifty books

19
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:19,479
across a variety of genres, with
a focus on history, mystery, and

20
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:25,280
romance. One novel of interest for
today's topic is When Love Restores. It

21
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,639
actually features a Guy Fawkes not celebration
at Cambridge University in the mid nineteenth century

22
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,560
and recounts the Cato Street Rebellion.
You can find it on Amazon, and

23
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:42,919
there's also a link to the book
in today's show notes. Here Now with

24
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:54,479
her introductory comments, is Donna Fletcher
Crowe Remember Remember the fifth of November Gunpowder,

25
00:02:54,719 --> 00:03:01,560
treason and plot Guy Fox, Guy
Fox twas his intent to blow up

26
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:09,879
the King and the Parliament three score
barrels of powder below poor old England to

27
00:03:10,039 --> 00:03:19,439
overthrow. By God's providence, he
was catched with a dark lantern and a

28
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:28,000
burning match, And so goes the
popular nursery rhyme still often repeated on Guy

29
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Fox Knight, or as It's more
popularly known now as Bonfire Night. Adam

30
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:42,240
Graham, with his Great Detectives of
All Time radio series, brings you not

31
00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:49,759
one, but two modernized versions of
the Gunpowder Plot story. In these,

32
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:57,319
the vile conspirators are not brought to
justice by Thomas Knyvett Richmond and his friend

33
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:03,599
Edmund Doubleday, as was Guy Fox, but rather by none other than the

34
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:13,879
world's greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes and
his friend doctor Watson. But true to

35
00:04:13,919 --> 00:04:19,639
the rhyme, the dark Lantern and
the Burning match still play their part.

36
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:29,920
Both versions include a good introduction to
the historical facts for Americans, and like

37
00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:38,319
all old time radio shows, these
Guy Fowk special episodes offer a charming time

38
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:44,680
capsule, in this case of an
earlier time in England as well as in

39
00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:51,160
our own country. Enjoy listening.
Thank you, Donna, and you can

40
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:58,720
learn more about Donna and her books
at Donna Fletchercrow dot com. Now let's

41
00:04:58,759 --> 00:05:03,759
get into today's fl first episode,
and this episode of Sherlock Holmes is in

42
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:11,800
the last season of the Rathbone Bruce
Radio era, over Mutual and sponsored by

43
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,399
Petrie Wine. The original air date
is November fifth, nineteen forty five and

44
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:25,000
the title is the fifth of November. This episode from the Life of Sherlock

45
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,360
Holmes will be transmitted to our men
and women overseas by shortwave and through the

46
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:36,800
worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio
Service. Petrie Wine brings you Basil Rathbone

47
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:47,800
and Nigel Bruce in the New Adventures
of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family,

48
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,720
the family that took time to bring
you good wine, invites you to listen

49
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:56,519
to doctor Watson tell us another exciting
adventure he shared with his good friend,

50
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,360
that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And
if you ask me, the best way

51
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:03,639
to listen to that story is to
do it with a glass of Port wine,

52
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,319
right Handy Petrie, California Port.
No kidding. That Petre Report is

53
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:13,639
just swell for any time good friends
get together to talk things over. You

54
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,519
couldn't ask for a more delicious wine. Why just looking at the deep,

55
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,279
rich red color of that pet Report
tells you that here's a wine with a

56
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:25,399
flavor that comes right from the heart
of sun ripened grapes. If you haven't

57
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:29,199
ever tried pet Report, why not
get a bottle and have a glass after

58
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,720
dinner Tomorrow night? It's a perfect
after dinner wine, you know, and

59
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,000
share that port with your family and
your friends. Don't forget when you serve

60
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:40,680
pet Report, you can serve it
proudly, because after all, the name

61
00:06:40,759 --> 00:06:51,079
Petrie is the proudest name and the
history of American wines. And now let's

62
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,240
keep our weekly appointment. Good eating, doctor Watson. Thank you. That's

63
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,120
it. By the way, you
know what day it is? November fifth,

64
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,160
isn't it? That's right? In
England, it's known as Guy Fox

65
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,240
Day. You ever heard there's something
to do with a gunpowder plot, isn't

66
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,199
it? Yes, mister Bartell,
it is. And as Sherlock Holmes and

67
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,360
I had a very unusual adventure on
the fifth November many years ago. It

68
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:20,920
seems appropriate that I should tell you
about it tonight before I begin. I

69
00:07:20,959 --> 00:07:25,959
think it might help you to appreciate
the true flavor of the story if I

70
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,399
tell you a little about the origin
and the customs of Guy Fox Day.

71
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,399
That's well I did. I got
well, my boy. On November the

72
00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:35,360
fifth, sixteen hundred and five,
exactly three hundred and forty years ago today,

73
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,800
King James the First was about to
attend the opening of Parliament when a

74
00:07:40,839 --> 00:07:44,759
plot was discovered to blow up the
House of Lords during the ceremony, and

75
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:47,279
the chief conspirator was Guy Fox.
I suppose yes he was. He was

76
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,560
captured in the vault immediately below the
House of Lords, a vault full of

77
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,680
batrels of gunpowder. Of course,
he and his fellow conspirators were executed,

78
00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:00,560
and ever since then, November the
fifth has been known as Guy Day.

79
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:03,600
Well, how's it celebrated, doc, It's a great time for the youngsters,

80
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,120
mister Bartell. They blacked their faces, throng the streets, baking for

81
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:13,000
pennies, and built bonfires in which
to burn effiges of Guy Fox. These

82
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,600
effiges are life sized dummies, stuffed
with straw and dressed in old clothes.

83
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,800
The children paraded them in the streets, chanting rhymes. Well let me see,

84
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:26,120
please to remember the fifth of November
Guy Fox. Guy hit him in

85
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,879
the eye. The kids must have
quite a time, sort of like Halloween.

86
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,879
Yes, it's not unlike it,
my boy. Well, now that

87
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,639
I've told you something about the customs
of Guy Fox Day, I'll get on

88
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,879
with my story. It began just
before lunch. I remember November fifth,

89
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,440
eighteen hundred and ninety nine, The
day was foggy and cold, and Holmes

90
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,440
and I were seated each side of
a blazing fire in our Baker Street rooms.

91
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,799
From outside, we could hear the
sound of voices laughing and singing.

92
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:09,480
Suddenly Holmes rose and crossed to the
window open and looked out. Then he

93
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360
turned to me and spoke, children
having a great time. Once manthez,

94
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:18,480
yes, it costs they're shilling worth
a fellows to walk here this morning.

95
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,279
Has it occurred to you, Watson, that the gunpowder plot of us very

96
00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:24,360
promising material to the speculative mind?
In what way, homes? I say?

97
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:28,480
It's confoundedly chilly in here? Don't
you think you might shut that window?

98
00:09:31,639 --> 00:09:33,399
Sorry, old chap As I was
saying, the gunpowder plot of us

99
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,240
very promising material to the speculative mind. I've made something of a study of

100
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,200
the historical records of the case.
There is more than a little evidence to

101
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,240
suggest that King James was never in
any real danger, never in any danger

102
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,559
or what makes you say that knowledge
of the proposed dastardly scheme came to light

103
00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:54,279
early that James Stewart, King of
England, the possessor of a shrewd and

104
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,399
diabolical mind used the spectacular discovery of
the plot to try and bolster his waning

105
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:03,320
popularity as well as to justify increased
religious persecutions. That's the first I've heard

106
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,559
of it home, I dare say
I follow it's true, just the same.

107
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,879
I'm afraid James Stewart, King of
England, was an unscrupulous tyrant.

108
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,840
Come in. Oh, yes,
missus Hudson. There was a gentleman to

109
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:18,879
see you, mister Holmes. He
said it was very important. He asked

110
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:22,480
me to give you his car.
Thank Missus Hudson. Oh, ask him

111
00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:26,320
to come up please? Will you? Hi? Who is at home?

112
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,639
A gentleman with a remarkably fine sense
of timing? Read discard for yourself,

113
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:39,240
mister James Stewart, Great Scott as
an extornic constance that he should arrive just

114
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,960
as we're talking about James Stewart,
King of England. I mean, mister

115
00:10:45,159 --> 00:10:46,559
James Stewart. How do you do, mister Stewart. My name is Sheelleck

116
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,639
Holmes, and this is my colleague
doctor. How do you do, mister

117
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,879
Holmes. You've got to help me. I'm walking a button model fear in

118
00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:56,759
my life. You've got to help
me, mister Stewart, I suggest that

119
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:58,960
you sit down now. I'll do
anything in my power to help you.

120
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,360
Which must compose your so first and
tell me quietly what it is that's frightening

121
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,919
you. How can I compose myself
when I may be dead within a few

122
00:11:03,919 --> 00:11:07,360
hours and an any mister Steward,
I'm a doctor. I really think if

123
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,279
I were to give you a sedative
that you'd find out. Can you talk

124
00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:15,639
of senators? When my heart?
Doctor? All right? All right now

125
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,559
here, let me help you with
this sofa. You are, yes,

126
00:11:20,639 --> 00:11:24,840
Holmes, I'll give him some digitalis
a fellow with a bad heart like this

127
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:33,399
shouldn't allow himself to get so excited. And now this, mister Stewart,

128
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:41,759
what is it? It's digitalis very
well? Now better than yes, mister

129
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:48,559
Holmes, Yes I do. Hey, you're right. I shouldn't get so

130
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:52,840
excited. My heart can't stand it. You know? Watson? Is he

131
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,799
well not to talk to you?
Think? Yes? He doesn't excite himself

132
00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:03,120
again. I'll be careful doctor.
I'll take it quietly, mister Holmes.

133
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,840
When you saw my card, just
know, did it strike any responsive court?

134
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,840
Naturally? Sir? Who could fail
to be intrigued? When a James

135
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,720
Stewart calls to see one on Guy
Fox's day. It isn't just coincidence that

136
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:18,240
my name is James Stewart's. I've
got royal blood in my veins. People

137
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:20,000
know of it, and that's another
reason they're out to kill me. They're

138
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,720
jealous of my heritage, every instinct
I have as a royal one. No,

139
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,240
you gentlemen know that falcon Bey is
a king sport and my greatest hobby

140
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,679
is the breeding in the training of
faltuards. Mister Stuart, going to the

141
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,720
state of your health, I suggest
that you be as economical as possible in

142
00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:37,639
your explanation. In fact, I
think it might be better if I would

143
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,919
question you very well. Mister Holmes. Now you say that your life is

144
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:45,039
in danger. What evidence do you
have to substantiate that claim. My cousin,

145
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,240
Guy Falkenby has threatened it. You
see, mister Holmes, he and

146
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,480
I are the only heirs to a
wealthy uncle. His fortune will go to

147
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,960
the surviving heir. If I were
dead, Guy would inherit. Everything came

148
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,320
to mister Stewarts. You should have
applied to Scotland Yard for protection. I

149
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,519
did. Doc Watson only a few
days ago I saw a certain inspector Lestrade

150
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,759
I think his name was, and
he laughed at my fears and he laughed,

151
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:13,879
did he well? Then, in
that case there may be something in

152
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:16,919
your story, sir. You say
that your cousin has threatened to kill you.

153
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,799
Has he indicated the method he intends
to employ? He has, and

154
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,600
it's a devilish plot. Guy has
a bitter, twisted sense of humor,

155
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:30,000
gentleman, even when he's planning as
dustily a thing as a murder. I

156
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,320
am James Stewart. He is Guy
Falkenby, which is near enough. The

157
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,240
guy Fox. Today is the fifth
of November, and he's planning to blow

158
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:43,360
me up. Who come, Come
comes. You can't expect us to believe

159
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,279
that, but it's true. He
won me, and the celebrations that are

160
00:13:46,279 --> 00:13:50,200
going on in the streets of London
day would make a rare clock for his

161
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,600
activities. I must confess, mister
Stuart, that I find your story most

162
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,960
unconvincing. All your evidence appears to
depend on conversations held between you and this

163
00:13:58,039 --> 00:14:01,799
cousin of yours. You have no
fact to substantiate your claims, but I

164
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,600
have. Then, Please let us
hear them. I'll have a twenty three

165
00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,120
Cavendish Square. A week ago the
house next door to me was let to

166
00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:15,399
a new tenant. Almost immediately whatman
became very active there. They were digging

167
00:14:15,399 --> 00:14:18,679
in the sellers. Mister Holmes,
I could hear the sounds of picks and

168
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,360
shovels through the walls, singing in
the cellars. That does sound significant,

169
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,879
Dunet Homes. Extremely did you observe
any other activities of the workman, mister

170
00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:31,159
Stewart, Im mister Holmes. Vans
have been delivering large packing cases to the

171
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,600
basement during the last two days.
I know what sent them to It's gunpowder.

172
00:14:35,919 --> 00:14:41,360
I tell you. They're planning to
blow me up today. NAIs today

173
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,440
you must excite yourself again. What
shall I do, mister Holmes? I

174
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,080
think say it would be better for
you to rest here for a while and

175
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,039
then go to a nearby hotel.
I would suggest the sharp spread and wait

176
00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:52,600
there until you hear from us.
And where are you, gentlemen going?

177
00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:56,679
What's in an eye? After dunning
suitable disguises? Well, visit the house

178
00:14:56,679 --> 00:15:01,159
adjoining yours in Cavendish Square. I
think an examination of the cella there might

179
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:16,840
prove most illuminating supposed to be the
house. All right, homes. The

180
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,360
empty packing cases is still by the
foot of the basement steps. Rom Watson,

181
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:26,879
let's go down and explore on my
soolar, I feel a little self

182
00:15:26,919 --> 00:15:30,960
conscious of in these clothes. Only
to my dear Chap you look a most

183
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,919
authentic inspector of plumbing. If anyone
challenges us, you had better let me

184
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,480
do the talking, though I think
my accent might be a little more convincing.

185
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:46,559
Sh listen, I can't hear anything
exactly, then we may reasonably assume

186
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,039
that either the workmen are observing the
guy Fawkes holiday or that their work is

187
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:56,679
done. Come on, let's try
this door. So I'm not Yeah,

188
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,000
this is too easy. We must
be prepared for a tramp. Come on,

189
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,960
I've got mad of olver handed.
If there's there's any trop I don't

190
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,440
use it until I tell you to
him. Remember we are supposed to be

191
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:18,759
plumbing inspectors. Pitch black in here. I can't see a thing strike a

192
00:16:18,799 --> 00:16:22,639
match. He didn't find a gas
jet strike a match, or the cellar

193
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:23,840
may be full of gunpowder. We
can't take the risk, Old Chap,

194
00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:33,919
here's a guestjured. I light it
that's better. Now we can see a

195
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,279
little uh huh. I think the
workmen have completed their job. See that

196
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,720
new wood forming a crude door on
the corner over there? Where does it

197
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:55,080
lead to disperse? Let's find out? Oh, also unlocked. Here's a

198
00:16:55,159 --> 00:17:00,480
miner's manum waiting conveniently for us on
this ledge. This is ridiculous. Easy

199
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:06,640
now, I'm sure it's a trap. I like the veatter, Great Scott.

200
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,240
It's a tunnel. Yes, it's
a tunnel leading into mister Stuart's house

201
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:19,759
next door. Let's explore it.
Look homes, Look at the barrels that

202
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:25,839
there full of gun powder. Undoubtedly
will observe the fuses as well. Yes,

203
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,279
the complete equipment for another gunpowder plot. I can't believe my eyes.

204
00:17:29,279 --> 00:17:33,559
What a fantastic plan. But how
could the murderer be certain that Stuart would

205
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:36,400
be killed in the explosion? I
think that's easily answered, Watson. Remember

206
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:41,200
mister Stuart's bad heart in his present
state of apprehension, and exploding fire cracker

207
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,759
would be enough to kill him,
I suppose, sir, Hello, Wow,

208
00:17:44,799 --> 00:17:49,680
what's this lying on the floor?
Curious It's a funny strip of silk

209
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,079
with a little ring on the end. Let me see it, Watson.

210
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:59,119
Ah huh, this seems to be
familiar. Bite jove, I believe it's

211
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,160
a yes. Yes, Well,
the last piece of evidence necessary to confirm

212
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,160
the conclusion. I'll take your hands
above the heads. I've got a revolver,

213
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,960
right, your Governor. We ain't
doing no harm. I remember watching.

214
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:22,839
I'll do the talking. Come on, hart to come well, you're

215
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,759
a comical looking pair. What are
you doing in? Me and my mate

216
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:30,680
got a message to come over here
and seek you the plumbing mister plumbers?

217
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,759
Eh? Do you have any identification? Yes, sir, here's my bad.

218
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,640
We'll inspect us for the London County
Council. Oh that's all right,

219
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,160
my man. I saw the basement
door open and eye I thought burglars might

220
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:42,960
be here. Ha. You're the
owner of this house, sir, Yes,

221
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,440
but my agent letter recently to some
tenants have been behaving rather queerly,

222
00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:49,319
untold, so I came around here
to see what was happening. If you're

223
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,799
the owner, sir, perhaps you
can give me some effects for me,

224
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,039
records. Gotta film me records.
You know what do you want to know?

225
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,960
Well? Your name please, sir? Fulcan guy fulcan look here?

226
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:03,519
Alfhie, Alfie older nose. What
did he say? Nothing? Say nothing.

227
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:06,279
He's got baddy cups had him for
We had him for months now.

228
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,559
Can't stop him, Alphie. Yeah, give me a pencil, will you?

229
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,000
Thank you? Alf Now, sir, your name is a guy for

230
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:18,039
Quamby. What's the name of the
tenant this house is let to? There

231
00:19:18,079 --> 00:19:19,960
are three of them, you know
the name, sir? Got to have

232
00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:23,000
them for me records you see.
Yes, the names are Winter, rope

233
00:19:23,039 --> 00:19:30,079
Wood and Kine. Oh yes,
Winter, roake Wood and Canes. That's

234
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:36,200
right, sir. Chances that they
might be a firm of solicitors down the

235
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:38,440
well. Perhaps they are. I
haven't met him. Just one more question,

236
00:19:38,559 --> 00:19:41,839
sir, and then I can bother
you no more. Well what is

237
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,880
it my religion or my grandmother's maiden? Me? No, nothing bad.

238
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,319
I just wanted to lived in the
house next door on that side. We've

239
00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:52,480
had a complaint from there. Two
there pipes is bummed up. My cousin

240
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:56,880
lives there. His name is James
Stewart, mister James today, Oh much

241
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,960
obliged, sir, Me and me
mate or be going next door? Then?

242
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,599
Come on, Alfae. I'm not
surprised his pipes I've bunned up,

243
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,759
as you so graphically put it.
He's a great one for practical jokes about

244
00:20:06,759 --> 00:20:08,039
the house. As a matter of
fact, he's planning one of them tonight.

245
00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:11,960
Eh. Oh, well that's no
concern of yours. By the way,

246
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,200
my man, what's your name?
Nivetzer, Tom Nivid Come on,

247
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:30,720
Alfie, we've got work to do, homes. I wish you'd tell me

248
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:33,759
what's going on while we'd take this
care back to Baker Street. Get out

249
00:20:33,759 --> 00:20:37,839
of these clothes and they observe their
purpose. Now there's more serious work afoot.

250
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,759
Well, I'm still confused about I
interview with Guy Falkenby. Why did

251
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:45,359
you say your name was Tom nividt? What touch a bannity'll follow? Vanittfel

252
00:20:45,519 --> 00:20:48,359
How do you mean? Well?
Consider the names in this case so far,

253
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:55,400
Watson James Stewart says that he's been
threatened by Guy falconby a name.

254
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,119
As mister Stuart points out, not
unlike Guy Fox, you recall the names

255
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,079
of the free tenants mister Faulkin gave
us a few minutes ago. Yes,

256
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:06,240
Winter, Rokewood and canes. But
what's that got to do with it?

257
00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:11,559
A great deal made fellow Thomas winter
Ambo's Rokewood and Robert Kaines with a free

258
00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,920
Men executed with Guy Fox, and
the original gunpowder plot in sixteen hundred.

259
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,359
Lord, but where does Tom Knivett, the name you gave yourself fit into

260
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:25,319
the picture? Thomas Nivitt was the
Westminster magistrate who arrested the conspirators. Since

261
00:21:25,319 --> 00:21:27,319
there would be murderer of such an
academic knowledge of the original plot, I

262
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,359
thought i'd let him know that he
was up against an opponent worthy of his

263
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:44,119
steel. We'll hear the rest of
doctor Watson's story in just a few seconds.

264
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,079
Just about time for me to remind
you that if you want a wine,

265
00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:51,319
then sure to please the ladies.
You can't miss with Patrie California Muscatel.

266
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,480
That's because Patrie Musketell is a golden
wine with one of the most luscious

267
00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:00,359
flavors you ever tasted. Did you
ever taste a big plant muscat grape that's

268
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,759
ripened in the sun. If you
have, then you know what to expect

269
00:22:03,799 --> 00:22:08,880
when you taste Petrie musket Tell.
It's a wonderful wine, perfect after dinner

270
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:14,599
and swell when company comes. Just
remember that, won't you? Petrie musket

271
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,799
tell, well, doctor, you
and mister Holmes were certainly having yourselves quite

272
00:22:18,799 --> 00:22:22,000
a guy foalks day. What happened
when you got back to Baker Street.

273
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,920
We changed out of our disguises and
back into our neck clothes. I'm still

274
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,480
pretty much in the dark as usual, and I kept questioning Holmes next to

275
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:36,839
our next move, even in a
state of suppressed excitement, And it was

276
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,880
obvious as he spoke to me that
he was anxious to be all that's so

277
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,599
much like ahead of us, Not
Dolly, I'm as far as I can.

278
00:22:48,279 --> 00:22:51,359
What's our next move? You know, we split our horses. Let's

279
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,160
get hold of my band of street
echins, the bigger street of regulars.

280
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,519
I'm going to surround mister Stuart's house
in Cavendish Square, and they'll be invaluable

281
00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:00,200
for that purpose. So what do
you want me to do? Go to

282
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,319
the Sharpsbury Hotel and collect mister Stewart, then return with him to his house

283
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,440
and wait me there. I shall
join you as soon as I've rounded up

284
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,920
the irregulars. But I mist warn
you don't leave mister Stuart for a moment.

285
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,119
Don't tell him out of your sight
until you see me again. Of

286
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,799
course, I want Holmes, but
too, I must say idea of all

287
00:23:15,839 --> 00:23:18,839
that gunferow in the cellar doesn't make
me feel in it too? With me,

288
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,799
Old Chat, have faith in me. I wouldn't expose you to any

289
00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:23,400
danger if I could avoid it.
And I assure you that I shall join

290
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,079
you and mister Stuart very shortly.
You have your revolver, yes, of

291
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:33,480
course? Good? And uh give
mister Stuart this revolver. Will you tell

292
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:37,079
him that I insist that he carries
it. I fear that his own has

293
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:41,079
probably been tempered with your homes I'll
see if he has it. This is

294
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:47,240
a strange business. I must say
that guy Falconer seemed such a decent sort

295
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,279
of fellow. Yes, he appeared
to be a most amiable fellow, didn't

296
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:52,839
he. This is indeed an unusual
case, Watson. We're up against one

297
00:23:52,839 --> 00:23:59,119
of the most sinister and twisted antagonists
that we've ever met. Well, Chap,

298
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,559
I'm leaving now. I'll join you
soon, and don't forget stay close

299
00:24:00,559 --> 00:24:14,880
to mister Stewart, Stay very close
to him. Dr Watson, I wish

300
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,640
your friend were here. No,
no, don't get so excited, mister

301
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,039
Stewart. You'll be here any moment. Now, you've still got the revolver

302
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,839
that I gave you, Yes,
that's in my pocket. But what's the

303
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,880
good of a revolver if there should
be an explosion? Answer me that if

304
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,559
you can, and you must have
faith in mister Halm. Sir, he's

305
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,920
arranging now to have this house of
yours surrounded by his band of street urchins.

306
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,680
They'll see that no one gets to
the seller next door to light diffuses

307
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:41,720
a bunch of children. How can
they do anything? You don't know?

308
00:24:41,759 --> 00:24:45,960
The Baker Street irregular is mister Stuart, and it's a perfect day for them

309
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:51,279
to operate as black faced boys begging
for pennies. They pass unnoticed anywhere.

310
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,519
I hope you're right, but I
have a premonition. Doctor, there's going

311
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:56,920
to be a tragedy. I know, and I'll take it easy, sir.

312
00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:00,720
Remember in your heart you're in space
the hands when Sherlock Holmes is on

313
00:25:00,759 --> 00:25:04,880
the case. Here is now,
Holmes, I say, I'm glad to

314
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,400
see you. You received your visitor, yet visit them. We've seen no

315
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,559
one than beyond your lit I've just
been questioning the boys surrounding this house.

316
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,480
A few moments ago, some children
pulled a small cart up to the back

317
00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:19,640
door. Cat continuing life sized dummy. My irregulars thought that it was a

318
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,319
lethody on its way to a bumper. Why shouldn't it be home? Reason

319
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:27,640
to believe that it's someone visiting you
in disguise, mister Stewart, a visitor

320
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,920
who is mounting the back stairs at
this very moment. You've got to stem

321
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,680
by me. Homes you've got to
protect on Come in, Look at that

322
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:44,559
apparitions cut a guy Fawk's dummy.
It a dark lantern is hand and it's

323
00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:48,599
walking and also talking. I trust
keep away from me. I got a

324
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:55,240
revolver. You won't give me one, I'll take two. Not better for

325
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,240
me, the worse for you.
It's guy falking. Keep away from me.

326
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,000
Do you hear for me? And
the worst for you? All?

327
00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:07,400
Like then I'm going to fire you
have a mister Sturt. The revolver I've

328
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,279
provided for you seems to be unloaded. How very odd? What in fun

329
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,200
is all this about? I've just
witnessed an attempted murder, Watson murder?

330
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,680
What are you talking about? This
is a game, James and I had

331
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,640
it arranged the whole thing. You
may have thought it was a game,

332
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,319
mister Polkerby, But I assure you
that your qui mister stud Watson's leave me

333
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:27,599
alone, take your hands off me, help me put him on the sofa.

334
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,960
That's it. I'll get him some
digitarists. Look, I don't want

335
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000
to appear unnecessarily stop it, But
will someone tell me what this is all

336
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:40,240
about? With pleasure? Mister Polkerby, your cousin planned one of the most

337
00:26:40,279 --> 00:26:44,319
fantastic murder plots that I've ever encountered. Came to us with the story that

338
00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:47,160
you would threatened his life. That's
ridiculous. I'm very fond of him,

339
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,839
of course, it's ridiculous. The
whole plot was ridiculous. He leased the

340
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:55,160
house next door, had a tunnel
dug and gun powder infuses planted there,

341
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,599
even entered the name of the tenant, says Winter, brokewood and canes to

342
00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:03,079
get the current blood a further authenticity. You mean my cousin, who was

343
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,240
the real tenant? Certainly he was. However, he was cumsy enough to

344
00:27:06,319 --> 00:27:10,039
drop that piece of silk with the
wire ring on the end that you found

345
00:27:10,039 --> 00:27:11,319
in the cellar. Watson, do
you call a jess? And what's a

346
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,680
jess? It's a strap that goes
round the falcon's legs, which its leash

347
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:18,680
is fastened. You will remember that
mister Stuart informed us that falconry is his

348
00:27:18,759 --> 00:27:25,279
hobby, and it therefore indicated that
he had been in the cellar and consequently

349
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,079
must have known about the whole part. And all he was trying to do

350
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,759
is to build up in our minds
of belief that his cousin was trying to

351
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:33,240
kill him exactly, my dear fellow. And had we believed him, of

352
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,799
course he could have shot you just
now, mister Falconby, in apparent self

353
00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:41,720
defense. Lord, what a fantastic
plot I still can't find with mister Falkinby,

354
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:44,119
Why are you dressed as a guy? Fawk's dummy? What it was

355
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,440
James's idea? He said that he
was going to dress up too, and

356
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,000
that we were to go around the
Bonfast night and frighten people by appearing as

357
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,799
live dummies. But the last message
he sent to me to come up here,

358
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,319
that we'd play a practical joke on
a couple of friends of his.

359
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,599
And did he provide you with the
costume that you're wearing. Yes, as

360
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,960
a matter of fact, he did
search the pockets for any weapons hope,

361
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,240
but I will all right, myle
you're doing that. I'll examine this dark

362
00:28:03,279 --> 00:28:07,720
lantern. How's your patient, Watson. I've given him some digitalis, now

363
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,519
give him some bread. I can't
find anything in the pockets. Here's the

364
00:28:11,519 --> 00:28:17,920
answer, my friends, okare inside
the lantern? Is a dagger? Your

365
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,559
cousin planted it there to substantiate the
claim that you were trying to kill him.

366
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,119
Had his plans worked, you would
have been dead, mister pockinbay before

367
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,240
you could have told us the truth. Here, come back here, mister

368
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Steel. He found it. He's
speaking the heart attack. Come on,

369
00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:53,400
what's not home? Homes Well,
ile out of the way, please clon

370
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:59,240
me here comes to love me landon
chance? Excuse me please, I'm trying

371
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,480
to find a friend of mine,
most important homes Where are you? What

372
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,799
an I here? You call?
Out of the way, please, I'm

373
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:15,079
coming home. TI. You got
away from in the crowd picks the start

374
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:17,960
got away from us. We we'll
never find him in this spark twelve Plea

375
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,200
is a dangerous man. There's no
knowing what he may do weather you're regulars

376
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,599
Ah, there's Wiggins Wiggins on mister
Hillig, did you see a man run

377
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:29,440
out of that house a few minutes
go. No governor grabs Johny Did hey,

378
00:29:29,559 --> 00:29:32,440
Joy come over here a minute?
Gets missed you all all right?

379
00:29:32,759 --> 00:29:36,440
I bet Charlie didn't see anything.
Now he's got some savvy girl with Hello,

380
00:29:36,559 --> 00:29:38,680
mister Holmes and doctor Watson. Did
you see a man run through this

381
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,240
crowd a few minutes ago? A
tallish man with a gramustache. Yes,

382
00:29:41,279 --> 00:29:45,359
I did. A man came running
out of the house over there. That's

383
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,400
the house. Where'd you go?
You run down toward where the shops are?

384
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,240
Any shut up? Do he did? The one we are going to

385
00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:53,000
burn on a bonfire. I tried
to stop him, but he got away.

386
00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:56,880
Homes homes looked up there on the
roof, there's a figure by Joe.

387
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,559
I believe it's James Jewart. That's
the man. He's the one that's

388
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:02,920
stole on dummy. He's standing under
the road. He's going to jump.

389
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,480
If he does, he's going to
line on a bon fire. There he

390
00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:11,960
goes. He is jumping right into
the middle of the far he'll be there.

391
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,839
Don't worry the games. That wasn't
a man who fell into the bonfire.

392
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,240
What do you mean from the girations
that the thick of a pond,

393
00:30:18,279 --> 00:30:22,640
does it? Fell, My dear
Watson, I'm convinced that mister Stuart threw

394
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,480
the stolen dummy to try and put
us off the track. And then Stuart

395
00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:27,200
still up there, here's Watson.
Come on, old boy, it's up

396
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:48,039
on the rooftops for us, up
on the rooftops. You're Watson. Let

397
00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:52,200
me help you up? Can you
reach my hand? I got it all

398
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:59,680
right, then up you come,
Come on, pat it escapes must be

399
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,799
deserve and for Jance, keep your
eyes skindled. Fellow Stuart's a dangerous man.

400
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:11,000
Might be hiding behind those chimney stacks. Come on, my soul,

401
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:15,400
this is a strange place to be
on Guy Fox Night. As a comprehensive

402
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,000
case, Watson starts in a cellar
and ends on the rooftop. Look homes

403
00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:23,319
by the part of it there a
crumpled body of mister Stuart looks to me

404
00:31:23,359 --> 00:31:30,240
as if it yeah, he's dead. Homes Well, it's not surprising.

405
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,319
The ebit of carrying the dummy up
here and throwing it, combined with his

406
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:37,440
own state of excitement for too much
for him. Well quite frankly, I

407
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,160
can't say that I'm sorry. No, he planned a murder. It hadn't

408
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,440
been for you, he would have
succeeded in extraordinary case homes, Yes,

409
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,400
old Chaplin, one that should long
make us remember the fifth of November.

410
00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:53,200
Yes, please to remember the fifth
November gunpowder treason and plot. I see

411
00:31:53,200 --> 00:32:07,440
no reason why gunpowder treason should ever
be forgotten. Well, doctor, as

412
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:12,680
you boys would say, that story
was a bit of exciting. What even

413
00:32:12,759 --> 00:32:16,359
though I sort of lose my breath
when I remember climbing that fire escape.

414
00:32:16,519 --> 00:32:19,960
You know, doctor, those two
fellas certainly went out of their way to

415
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,599
celebrate Guy Foalk's day. Now take
me when I got a little celebrating to

416
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,880
doine, I like to do it
quietly. Some friends, a glass,

417
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,759
support, petreport, what else?
Leave it to you. No matter what

418
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:36,960
the occasion is, you can somehow
make it the perfect occasion to Petrie wine.

419
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,039
How do you do it? Open
to ask me how I do it?

420
00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:42,960
You mean, how does the Petrie
family do it? How can they

421
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,319
make that swell wine? Well,
the answer is experience. The Petrie family

422
00:32:46,359 --> 00:32:51,839
has been making fine wine for generations, and ever since they first established the

423
00:32:51,839 --> 00:32:55,279
Petrie business way back in the eighteen
hundreds, they've handed on down from father

424
00:32:55,400 --> 00:33:00,039
to son, from father to son, the fine art of turning luscious sun

425
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:06,240
ripe and California grapes into fragrant,
delicious wine. That's why when you want

426
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,839
a wine for any occasion before dinner
with your meals are after dinner, you

427
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:15,960
can't go wrong with a Petrie wine, because Petrey took time to bring you

428
00:33:15,079 --> 00:33:20,359
good wine. And now, Doctor
Watson, what Cherlock Holmes adventure you're going

429
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:22,599
to tell us next week? An
old favorite mister Bell tell a story that

430
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:28,640
concerns strange music that was heard in
a lonely house in the English countryside,

431
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:35,799
the Living Death that stalked her.
I call it the Adventure of a Specklebird

432
00:33:53,559 --> 00:33:58,599
Tonight. Sherlock Holmes's adventure is written
by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher, and

433
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,960
was suggested by an incident of this
Arthur Conan Doyle story. The Adventure of

434
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:07,320
the Devil's Foot Music was by Dean
Fossler. Mister Rathbone appears through the courtesy

435
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:13,039
of Metro Goldwyn Mayor and mister Bruce
through the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where

436
00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:22,880
they are now starring in the Sherlock
Holmes series. The Petrie Wine Company of

437
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,079
San Francisco, California, invite you
to tune in again next week, same

438
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:30,719
time, same station. This is
Harry Bartel saying good night for the Petrie

439
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:37,079
family. Sherlock Holmes comes to you
from our Hollywood studio. This is the

440
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:55,159
Mutual Broadcasting Sister. Welcome back,
mister Stewart. Learn the hard way that

441
00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:00,880
having a stressful murder plan with a
bad heart is a really awful idea.

442
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:09,480
You should contact a physician before beginning
any program of criminal enterprise. Of course,

443
00:35:09,639 --> 00:35:14,280
most know that their doctors would tell
them not to do it, particularly

444
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:19,599
if their doctor was John Watson.
It's always great to hear Basil Rathbone,

445
00:35:19,679 --> 00:35:23,960
and he also has some fun as
the plumbing inspector, as he'd been playing

446
00:35:24,079 --> 00:35:31,039
the role for six years on radio. The parts in disguise or reciting different

447
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:37,440
famous lines gave him a bit of
a variety in his performance that he appreciated

448
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:42,679
as he was getting a bit burnt
out on the role at this point.

449
00:35:43,639 --> 00:35:46,920
This episode does a great job of
not only laying down the particulars of the

450
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:52,440
Guy Fawkes plot, but also some
really nasty details of the holiday so that

451
00:35:52,559 --> 00:36:01,159
the nineteen forty five listener was transported
to written and really give a vivid audio

452
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:06,360
picture of what the holiday was like. It had a number of tie ins

453
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:12,599
to the holiday that were fun and
might have stretched believability if they weren't part

454
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:22,440
of James Stewart's sinister yet eccentric plot. This episode's information is also helpful in

455
00:36:22,519 --> 00:36:29,440
our context because the next episode doesn't
have quite as much background on the holiday,

456
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:32,000
though it'll be fair it wasn't centered
on the holiday as much as it

457
00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:40,159
was got Fawkes himself and some contemporary
admirers of Fox. This series was airing

458
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:45,840
over the Mutual Network after a single
season on ABC, but at this time

459
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:52,719
it was originating from New York with
the stars as John Stanley as Sherlock Holmes

460
00:36:52,920 --> 00:37:00,639
and George Spelvin credited as Doctor Watson. This episode originally aired October The Kent

461
00:37:01,079 --> 00:37:16,639
nineteen forty eight, and the title
is The Guy Fawk Society from New York

462
00:37:16,679 --> 00:37:21,000
City. The makers of clipper Craft
Clothes for Men, and more than twelve

463
00:37:21,079 --> 00:37:25,079
hundred leading retail stars from coast to
coast present to Arthur Colin Doyle's Immortal Characters,

464
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:42,480
the world's most famous detective, Sherlock
Holmes, starring John Stanley. This

465
00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:49,519
week's adventure the Guy Park Society at
home. You're running an unspeakable risk?

466
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,199
Can't you allow the police to handle
this? Comsel? Now? What's time

467
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:53,639
to be there? Myself? Well, shouldn't you take a longer evoler a

468
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,559
weapon of some sort? I think
not. They might decide to examine everyone

469
00:37:58,679 --> 00:38:01,239
entering the warehouse. No, I
should retem the secret weeping of his blood

470
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:13,360
first society, accompanied only by my
second and purpose friend, my messi Pipe.

471
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,159
We're at the door of doctor John
Watson's study and we're about to hear

472
00:38:16,159 --> 00:38:23,000
anotherer of his adventures. Good evening, Good evening, doctor Watt. Have

473
00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:27,480
you assembled all the facts for the
memoir you're currently writing, Doctor, Yes,

474
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:31,119
mister Hens, it's the adventure of
the Guy Fop Society. Guy Park,

475
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:36,880
you mean the art conspirator of seventeenth
centuries, the very Safe. Well,

476
00:38:37,039 --> 00:38:39,519
what sort of organization was? Decides
well? It was a secret cult

477
00:38:39,639 --> 00:38:45,760
formed in eighteen ninety seven. Their
membership consisted entirely of fanatics devoted to one

478
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:50,360
of the most podifying purposes in that
And what was there that I should reveal?

479
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,800
The incredible secret of the appropriate time
to heap but now it would seems

480
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:59,400
the appropriate time for a word about
those remarkable clip of craft clothes. So

481
00:38:59,519 --> 00:39:04,840
it is. Let me paint a
little word picture of you in the fine

482
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,039
local store that sells clipper Craft clothes. Look expensive, don't? But you

483
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:15,119
try on a clipper Craft suit anyway, feel comfortable? Okay? Now you

484
00:39:15,199 --> 00:39:17,440
walk over to the mirror. Might
as well admit it. You do look

485
00:39:17,519 --> 00:39:22,639
like the minion and you're thinking this
will really smash my food. And then

486
00:39:22,679 --> 00:39:25,719
you look at the prist. I
just can't be true. But it is

487
00:39:27,159 --> 00:39:30,400
only forty or forty seven fifty,
depending on the clipper Craft model you preferred.

488
00:39:31,079 --> 00:39:35,719
How can it be? Well?
More than twelve hundred of America's finest

489
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,719
independent stores from coast to coast have
put their combined purchasing power into action to

490
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:45,559
save you money. It's the reason
only forty seven fifty buys you a smart

491
00:39:45,559 --> 00:39:51,039
clipper Craft suit of worsted fabric that
can take the hardest Where you'll give yes

492
00:39:51,119 --> 00:39:54,079
for suits, top coats and sports
coasts, you'll find clipper Craft values at

493
00:39:54,119 --> 00:39:59,480
the head of the class. Compare
clipper Craft with clothes selling for many dollars

494
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:08,360
more. Oh and now, doctor
Watson, what was the guy fox aside

495
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,440
well, mister Harris. It was
the beginning of November eighteen ninety seven.

496
00:40:14,199 --> 00:40:17,000
Holmes and I were returning to two
twenty one B Baker Street after the late

497
00:40:17,039 --> 00:40:22,519
dinner. We were enveloped an unprecedented
yellow fox. We were gripping our way

498
00:40:22,559 --> 00:40:28,599
up the stairs toward our flecks.
He here we are. If I can

499
00:40:28,599 --> 00:40:31,599
find the lock, come with something
on the floor, keep it with my

500
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:36,519
foot. See if I can put
it out of the way. Hose It

501
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:40,039
feels like a body match. What
right heaven's hose? Is a man?

502
00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:43,960
This folk's been cut? Will you
look at this pool of blood like that

503
00:40:44,039 --> 00:40:51,320
lampop? Yes, both can split
from air to ear. Look home from

504
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,280
the wall with hen driver. Someone
p a Gyptis finger in the dead man's

505
00:40:54,280 --> 00:41:01,760
blood and crawled and it says guy
faults Is. Guys, I want sort

506
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,239
of diabolical nonsense to say. Shall
I believe her in due course which will

507
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,480
observe that technicality, have a look
at the court. But that is pat

508
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:17,159
that a council wood Hindwood was look
with some sort of Greece typical when the

509
00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:22,239
odor was mass state of oil disposing
is going to do the cancal wood,

510
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,360
dips and oil. Clearly the dead
man was preparing a touch stuck. Why

511
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,840
should anyone want to to go marching
about with a thought the weather about which

512
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:36,199
you've been containing thout using surprising answer
to that you mean half the unbelievabletic pod.

513
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:40,079
The torch coupled with the pot signifies
that the dead man lying before us

514
00:41:40,199 --> 00:41:45,119
was a BNK boy. Was is
that the term don't say either the sea

515
00:41:45,199 --> 00:41:47,800
work The venerable tradition originates from the
days when it was necessary to a company

516
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:52,440
members of Parliament homes due to the
danger they're being attacked by seeds in the

517
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,119
center brick racks. Course, the
customs see abandoned, except for those rare

518
00:41:57,199 --> 00:42:01,079
occasions when London suffers in the possible
parties. Then the link boys their pots

519
00:42:01,119 --> 00:42:09,760
are called out to court. The
varoliumnentarium m m. This man's thought hasn't

520
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:15,639
anused. He was therefore on his
way from me. Come onton, we're

521
00:42:15,639 --> 00:42:17,800
off to see the startingted arms of
the Parliament building. We sho ask the

522
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,800
name of the link boy who failed
to appear. The people you intend to

523
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,639
leave the bottle yeare just like this
good, But I shall mention, this

524
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:29,000
the first policeman we meet, and
thanks to the nature of bureaucratic ineptitude,

525
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,320
we should be managed up ahead of
him while they're still here stripling. Then

526
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,079
we certainly had the startant arms in
Parliament battles asking all those questions about the

527
00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:52,239
link boy without ever telling him what
it was all about it. Let's see

528
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,639
that hopes. Let's see we've learned
that the dead bad's there with help.

529
00:42:57,639 --> 00:43:01,920
Missus Hudson admitted in downstairs that Pickering
asked for you. You saw him go

530
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:07,239
out. There's two other kidsman appear
slug daw. A moment later, one

531
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:12,880
of them misshapen and very ugly.
He saw them. They went back inside

532
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,519
to her rooms and heard and saw
nothing after that until the police was up

533
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:22,159
limitness. Oh what are you doing? Your fist budging its fall and it's

534
00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:25,840
a human disprecipible appearance, but you
must assume work. There we are now

535
00:43:27,079 --> 00:43:32,480
after this set an interesting tatter figure. Unfortunately you cannot accompany me on this

536
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:37,440
first sets mission. Watson. We're
going. You'll recall that the Parliament we

537
00:43:37,519 --> 00:43:40,440
were told that the dead man Pickering
resided on Bridge Road by the West Indian

538
00:43:40,519 --> 00:43:45,800
donas It's also told that he spent
a considerable fortunate this time at various pubs

539
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,719
in that vicinity. I intend to
visit every shabby is spot on Bridge Road.

540
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:52,360
But the disguise. I hope to
learn what it was. But mister

541
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:58,079
stickering whishould tell me when he came
here? Obviously it was something so insidious

542
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:00,119
that it was necessary to cut his
fat before he had a chance to talk.

543
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,119
I shall visit the pest pole,
the bridge roads. Very vocal about

544
00:44:06,159 --> 00:44:22,440
loading the government. You were never
in here before. That's quite right.

545
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,880
You know about this dwn. You're
a kind of loans. I like to

546
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:32,800
make friends with everybody who comes in
this place very much. It's the best

547
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:37,800
round this start of London. Which
are the other places? Yes? This

548
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:45,159
is my fourth seven? My name's
no, No, what's yours? Like

549
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,159
so many of your customers, Maud, I must ask you to accept a

550
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,559
significant silence. Answer to that,
Nah, you're a sensy way of sulking.

551
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:58,920
Did you hear anything? Yes?
The license? Yes, I didn't

552
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:02,079
tell me anything about this. Where
did you come done? What's your game?

553
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:07,119
Anything? My game? More?
Why do you keep watching the door?

554
00:45:07,519 --> 00:45:10,079
Just you can pass more? Everyone
will tell you that the police looking

555
00:45:10,119 --> 00:45:15,360
for you, they might be what
sort of job did you do? Suppose

556
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:21,119
we just say that it was unpatriotic? Is that all you're gonna tell me?

557
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,679
Yes, the pad was unpathiotic.
I have very little use for our

558
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:29,360
current government. I'm one of those
who feels in England once master of the

559
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:35,360
penet is collapsing of its own way. He found just liking you and her

560
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:39,400
friend of n He always talked that
way. He'd like you do you talk

561
00:45:39,559 --> 00:45:45,159
like to God brave? You'll be
helpful, helpful to whom? Well,

562
00:45:45,199 --> 00:45:52,880
what's purpose did you say anything to
your game? I did, would murdering

563
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,480
your game if it were worth the
candle. I don't mean just taking care

564
00:45:57,519 --> 00:46:00,559
of some blokes in the dark anyway
with a propet knife. I find petting

565
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:02,719
around here to do that for a
few tells a few things. I'm talking

566
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,440
about murder in a much bigger way. I mean, and in a few

567
00:46:06,519 --> 00:46:13,599
hundred people say a thousand you have
it's a sufficient to the game. I'm

568
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:17,360
man, Oh, there's modern running
in it, much much more. It's

569
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:22,679
a wonderful thing, and there's a
wonderful man running. You needed it all

570
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:29,119
time? Why don't you introduce me. Maybe I will. Hey, whats

571
00:46:29,159 --> 00:46:31,840
all the elks and sign yes?
You come along with me? Is this

572
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,880
a minute more for me? It's
it's a basement undernef you wear out,

573
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:53,079
it's a good he's the leader of
that guy. Sire your finger. Now

574
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,239
about time I might catch my death
of coats and you're waiting in the damp

575
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:00,440
faces in the next room. I
just go through that door. Yeah,

576
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,840
you better take my hand of a
start. Thank you? Oh well ed

577
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,960
you You must think he's a bit
done and you're first. It's a strange

578
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:14,840
thing sometimes, but that's just his
way. It's really brilliant and justly striking

579
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:22,239
by the leader's man's got to start
say the at least men are the esteem

580
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:30,039
safety center as far. But he
won't always ask here, don't want that?

581
00:47:30,159 --> 00:47:40,039
Pretty will come in? Come in? I am gerald, though,

582
00:47:42,119 --> 00:47:45,519
how do you do before I introduce
you to our leader? Did you raise

583
00:47:45,559 --> 00:47:51,239
your hands? I have? Please? You do not have a gun on

584
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,639
a knife? I hope no,
I have not. That's want to be

585
00:47:53,760 --> 00:48:01,360
sure in there, fornal I have
they are at press that does a later

586
00:48:04,159 --> 00:48:12,079
sits out? Get out? Yes? Oh tell me if you wish to

587
00:48:12,199 --> 00:48:16,280
die in a hard banks. Possibly
I don't know anything about it. I

588
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:22,039
could be rather the boast about you, though you're extremely nervous, vain and

589
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,920
spent a great deal of time outside
of England, to be more specific,

590
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:29,760
in a tropical countries. How do
you know those pencils on your sets normost

591
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:32,000
to the point of useless. The
restless way you pace up and down before

592
00:48:32,039 --> 00:48:37,639
me, the nervousness is it is
capable else? The audentity you're squinting your

593
00:48:37,679 --> 00:48:39,760
eyes in order to have a better
view of me a characteristic of mere psychedness.

594
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:45,360
You require spectacles, but do not
wear them. You've spent a sizeable

595
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,960
portion of your life in tropical countries
because your seats have a distinctive corrosion caused

596
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:55,480
by endest. Munching upon sugar cane
is good, very good? Maybe I

597
00:48:55,599 --> 00:48:59,840
have needs of men with their wits
about them? Or is this attack?

598
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:06,320
But the reward will be well worth
the sacrifice? What is the cost,

599
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,960
mister Stewart? What I can say? They sound fantastic, but the truth

600
00:49:10,079 --> 00:49:17,440
is often My name is Douglas Stewart. My generality may be taste for the

601
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:25,079
Stewards who once ruled my England.
Really to believe it well, the truth

602
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:31,920
and true. I am the rightful
ruler of the Physish Empire. I've been

603
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:37,880
seated by by price. Have you
the imposts will sit now up on my

604
00:49:38,159 --> 00:49:46,199
phone a posities when I went their
choosally of being insane. They're nothing but

605
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:52,800
animals wallowing in the sigh of their
wealth, and they must exterminated. They

606
00:49:54,119 --> 00:49:58,800
oh, well, mister Stewarts,
And what had they help the person?

607
00:50:00,199 --> 00:50:05,599
Yeah, the hospital for the mentally
ill. When we released I was pole.

608
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:07,480
Get me there as my guy.
They toasted me. I escape,

609
00:50:07,519 --> 00:50:14,000
I escape now I've seen and I
just back. What is your plans?

610
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,960
You are not the mischief at that
hospital? They infected me with drugs.

611
00:50:17,039 --> 00:50:22,760
I'm not well, but I need
I need men of thanks to surround me.

612
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:27,039
What is your family to have month
with me? Will tear my inevitable

613
00:50:27,119 --> 00:50:35,239
pile? Much will you wear?
When can you imagine? Why? Quite

614
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:39,440
evident guy Fox Assessor might go back
into England by a group of considerators in

615
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:45,440
sixteen hundred pigs they putty to overthrow
days the second that his government. They

616
00:50:45,519 --> 00:50:49,760
planned to do this by concealing a
huge store of gun powderman both houses of

617
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:53,840
Parliament. Yes, they intended to
blow up both houses and stay. Their

618
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:59,000
plan was exposed November the fourth of
sixteen hundred five. They were captured in

619
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:07,760
prisons. I dare say you have
provided Yes, I have guy just forty

620
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:13,320
eight hours away. You've dug secret
cuddles and pass in just forty eight hours,

621
00:51:13,679 --> 00:51:16,880
Guy fowkspan to broow up Parliament,
it's members and the royal family with

622
00:51:17,199 --> 00:51:31,440
the color reality. Well, doctor
Watson, mister Holmes is uncovered of breathtaking

623
00:51:31,519 --> 00:51:36,199
ski. Yes, he certainly has, mister Heppis, and you've provided me

624
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,920
with just the word I've been seeking. What word is that? Breathtaking?

625
00:51:39,079 --> 00:51:44,440
Is the word for Clippercraft clothes,
subject on which you are well qualified to

626
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:47,960
speaks up. Oh Joe, thank
you, doctor Watson. Men who used

627
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,480
to spend small fortunes on their clothes
are now wearing expensive looking clipper Craft suits

628
00:51:53,039 --> 00:51:59,159
because Clippercraft give them all the handsome
looks and long dependable ware they demand without

629
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:04,119
digging deep into the saving. Why
they pay only forty and forty seven fifty

630
00:52:04,199 --> 00:52:07,960
for clipper Craft suits you'd square cost
twice a month. Really fine fabrics and

631
00:52:08,039 --> 00:52:13,639
top knots tailoring are unheard of at
prices as low as clipper Craft. Then

632
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,159
what's the trick, Well, what
do you suppose happens when more than twelve

633
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:21,880
hundred of this country's finest independence stores
from coast to coats, stores you can

634
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:27,679
trust, concentrate their huge buying power. You're absolutely right. Their combined purchasing

635
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:32,119
power drastically cuts the cost of manufacturing
and distribution. Doesn't take an adding machine

636
00:52:32,119 --> 00:52:37,519
to figure out how clipper Crafts unique
operate saves your money, or why Clippercraft

637
00:52:37,599 --> 00:52:43,519
suits are such terrific values that only
forty and forty seven fifty. That's why

638
00:52:43,599 --> 00:52:46,679
men who know insist on clipper Craft
clothes. So be sure to visit the

639
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:52,199
clipper Craft store in your city.
These leading stores in the metropolitan area are

640

Now shall we return to the Guy
Fox Society doctor once? And we

646
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:28,639
most certainly shall. Mister Harris Holes
left the dank, dirty seller where he'd

647
00:53:28,679 --> 00:53:31,760
held his bizarre rendezvous with Duglas John. He returned to two twenty one B

648
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:39,440
Baker Street and recapitulated his experience for
good glacious homes. A plan to blow

649
00:53:39,519 --> 00:53:44,239
up both houses of Parliament. I
can hardly believe till we inform Scotland Yard

650
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,000
of your discovery, not just get
what in petuosity as a cap into which

651
00:53:47,039 --> 00:53:51,519
we must not fall. If the
police should intervene at fist point, Stewart

652
00:53:51,639 --> 00:53:54,159
and his bio henchmen would simply protest
their innocence of the Duke Justice. He

653
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,599
must be captured with the evidence.
A Hi, I see you're waiting to

654
00:53:57,679 --> 00:54:01,039
determine their plan of operation. Then
you'll exactly and I shall have that information

655
00:54:01,119 --> 00:54:06,360
this evening, when the entire membership
of the Society convened in that same waterfront

656
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,159
spot where the renegade Stewart has his
headquarters. As a neophyte, I've been

657
00:54:09,199 --> 00:54:13,159
invited to attend their ritual. Will
helps? Haven't they questioned you about your

658
00:54:13,159 --> 00:54:19,559
own reliability extensively. I imagine Gerardo
was impressive. Quite therefore, I'm off

659
00:54:20,159 --> 00:54:22,920
the poul Seller, where the chief
lieutenants of the Guy Fox Society meets in

660
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:40,559
unholy countries. I see you've joined
us, aren't there? Are you?

661
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:45,440
Maud Douglas tell me that least please, you've joined us. I appreciate the

662
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:50,280
accolade. Douglas tells me, yes, sing he does. We sit bart

663
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:52,599
the river sorting. He tells me
about what give me? That he's in

664
00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:58,760
the palace and made my own persu
comes strong, must be fond of you.

665
00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:04,119
Sohn does he candy if anyone?
I guess he thinks about his plans?

666
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:15,079
Mostly come o wine mob done for
you too, hy wama. We

667
00:55:15,159 --> 00:55:19,400
do not drink until a leader added, Then he will propose to talk.

668
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:28,559
There is leaders break everyone pride.
We raised our classes in pre who die

669
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:36,559
for? Who is there that poor
Robert takes me? Come right home a

670
00:55:36,679 --> 00:55:47,079
twitter? Oh? Tunnels already,
yes, good, those of you who

671
00:55:47,119 --> 00:55:53,400
are new My most trusted men have
un Where are the tunnels? The work

672
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:59,280
down to the back of the key
of on Parliament Square. Coundles cut across

673
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,599
the corner of square and point directly
to the House of Lords to the House

674
00:56:02,679 --> 00:56:07,360
of Commons, and what do you
plan to do to destroy the houses dynamite

675
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:15,760
all we shall along with the best
of England. While they burn forth in

676
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:22,440
effity in the streets, we shall
step off for dynamite amy. This is

677
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:37,079
what at ten top, you understand
exactly what you to do? What there's

678
00:56:37,119 --> 00:56:40,599
exactly home. I shall tell the
story to the Assistant Commissioner of Police and

679
00:56:40,679 --> 00:56:44,800
the request that he sent a special
squad. You like them to hide around

680
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,639
the corner from the T shirt there
and you must try desperately to convince him

681
00:56:47,679 --> 00:56:52,440
that is confortable to be armed.
I realized it's an extraordinary demand. But

682
00:56:52,519 --> 00:56:54,639
perhaps he sends the danger by Joholmes. He may not believe the story at

683
00:56:54,679 --> 00:56:59,920
all. He may not do a
blessed thing. Remember Stewart asked me to

684
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,440
meet him at the warehouse. He
Gerardo and I will then proceed to the

685
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:07,280
T shop there we will meet the
others at ten. If the police will

686
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,119
can't cooperate, they should be at
their post at night. Homes you're running

687
00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:13,239
an unspeakable risk. Wouldn't be wiser
for both that was to try to convince

688
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,920
the police to handle this themselves.
Allow them to make a botch of it.

689
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,440
No, Upton, I must be
on the scene myself. Shouldn't you

690
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:22,400
at least take a loner, a
barber weapon of some sort. Gerardo,

691
00:57:22,599 --> 00:57:27,239
mister Side would dammon everyone entering the
warehouse. No Watton, I shall merely

692
00:57:27,239 --> 00:57:45,079
be accompanied by my second class friend, my Meerson Pipe more everything in reading.

693
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:49,679
Yes, yes, I have a
carriage waiting house time this warehouse.

694
00:57:49,719 --> 00:57:55,079
It will be excellent. We made
this astibulous. The more you will wait

695
00:57:55,119 --> 00:58:00,480
there in the warehouse. And I
say, all right, you have my

696
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:07,320
revolvers or other give it to me. And I'm oh, we're not giving

697
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:15,199
you on that? Why not you
were not armed? Mister shut up Home,

698
00:58:16,159 --> 00:58:22,400
let me kill him now. Ever, since his own face is turned

699
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:27,360
off Home, you're not to win. Joy is giving the same experience to

700
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:30,639
others. You're not with the hound
given ny on and long. We're not

701
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:38,440
exactly fools Home, that's criminal background. We took the trouble to benefy Oh,

702
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:50,400
go enough, we can leave,
but you will remain inside your life

703
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:58,960
to be all everyone and that Pop
you're trying to tricks and let you up

704
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,880
front just because you swist Carol Pickering
the link boys, that was your handiwork

705
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:07,360
was in the tornado, pickering with
a keen professional interest. Leave on the

706
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,519
biggest humor concerning parliament. Must have
taken up the SENTI also Friday one evening,

707
00:59:10,559 --> 00:59:14,519
perhaps in the pub were more things. He ran to me to bring

708
00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:19,320
the news. You followed him.
My housekeeper reported that one of the savants

709
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:24,000
was repulsively ugly. I can make
you look just like me. I would

710
00:59:24,079 --> 00:59:29,079
like to get away from him.
Come on, we're leaving for the sea

711
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:35,159
first, and remember I have my
skin that I'm the fickret with my star

712
00:59:36,039 --> 00:59:42,199
lord. Stay here, you'll have
words. We're leaving now. Not much

713
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:47,039
make because I've picknec. You might
have notified the police that our maneuver is

714
00:59:47,079 --> 00:59:52,000
scheduled for ten I sent out words
that he was set off the dynamite one

715
00:59:52,360 --> 01:00:09,239
hour earlier that time, w the
tearm is just around the corner. You

01:03:08,079 --> 01:03:10,639
I never thought you'd leave that t
shop alive, Oh I did.

742
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,719
It's a magnificent job. You've got
good Girando being taken to the mob.

743
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,079
The rest of the crews packed off
the prison. You set side of that

744
01:03:19,199 --> 01:03:22,679
carriage outside the shop, didn't you. Of course I was in the front

745
01:03:22,719 --> 01:03:27,079
street with the driver. He was
preoccupied with his horses, Stewart and Gerando,

746
01:03:27,199 --> 01:03:29,719
to keep an eye on me purposes. Set in the back, they

747
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,199
could see most of me. Was
comparatively easy to drop a bit of put

748
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:36,679
ash from my pipe under the uphost
race. I knew that within a minute

749
01:03:36,760 --> 01:03:39,360
or two the carriage would catch fire. To protect your attention. Walking from

750
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,360
the corner with the raiding party,
or that is the constable on the beach,

751
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:45,880
he pokes his head in. Sad
enough, I shall never see admiring

752
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:52,159
your quick wittediness. Home neither shall
I, my dear one, neither shall

753
01:03:52,199 --> 01:04:06,800
lie well doctor Watson. The Guy
Fox Society was certainly a blood turtling experience.

754
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,039
Now might we have an inkling about
our adventure with Holmes for the next

755
01:04:11,079 --> 01:04:13,719
week? Well, next week,
mister hardis as to relate to you the

756
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,880
adventure of Black Peace. It involves
a steel haphoom, a did pig,

757
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:24,239
a proposed arctic flit, an advertisement
for a murder. And I'm quite sure

758
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,239
llandys you'll be here and your study
promptly at the same time next week,

759
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:39,039
doctor Watson, or the Adventure of
Black Peter. The makers of Flippercraft Clothes

760
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:43,199
and more than twelve hundred stories from
coast to coade have brought you another in

761
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:47,199
the new series of broadcasts featuring the
world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.

762
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:56,400
Our stories are based upon the character
Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir Arthur Colan

763
01:04:56,440 --> 01:05:00,000
Doyle, and the program is produced
and directed by Basil Lockers. Sherlock Holmes

764
01:05:00,039 --> 01:05:04,599
is played by John Stanley, doctor
Watson by George Speldy. This week's story

765
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:12,159
was written by Howard Merrill, with
special music by Albert Berman. If you

766
01:05:12,199 --> 01:05:15,320
don't know you're Clippercraft Peter right,
Clippercraft two hundred fifth, a New York

767
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:24,559
shipt turtle. Listen next week to
Sherlock Holmes in the Adventure of Black Peter.

768
01:05:38,599 --> 01:05:42,239
This is Pyhiris speaking for Clippercraft Clothes. This is the new Clear Broadcasting

769
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:49,440
CISTM. Welcome back. You have
to love the high self esteem of John

770
01:05:49,559 --> 01:05:57,360
Stanley's take on Holmes. He'll never
cease admiring his own quick wittedness. This

771
01:05:57,599 --> 01:06:01,119
was a solid adventure with Holmes going
again a villain who took the spirit of

772
01:06:01,199 --> 01:06:09,559
Guy Fawks and brought it forward nearly
three centuries, but ultimately Home saved the

773
01:06:09,719 --> 01:06:15,079
day. Listening to the fifth of
November first helps you catch some of the

774
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:21,719
little Guy Fawkes Easter eggs that end
up in the Guy Fawke Society episode.

775
01:06:23,239 --> 01:06:30,679
Now you may have been wondering about
the actor George Spelvin who played Watson.

776
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:38,760
Now clarify that George Spelvin was not
his real name. George Spelvin used to

777
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:45,519
be a popular pseudonym in American theater
prior to the nineteen seventies. It wasn't

778
01:06:45,719 --> 01:06:53,679
like Alan Smithy, which was used
by film directors who wanted to disown a

779
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:58,920
film that they ended up not liking. The name George Spelvin was used for

780
01:06:59,079 --> 01:07:02,639
many reasons, most of them neutral
in terms of the quality of the production.

781
01:07:03,519 --> 01:07:09,719
It could be used in a situation
where a union actor wanted to work

782
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:15,119
on a non union project and so
they'd used George or Georgina Spelvin. There

783
01:07:15,159 --> 01:07:21,119
would also be times where an actor
would double up and play two parts,

784
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:26,719
and they didn't want the production to
seem shaped to the audience, so they

785
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:30,559
would list the second part as George
Spelvin. And sometimes you would have a

786
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:35,519
character who would be important and they
would be talked about, but they wouldn't

787
01:07:35,599 --> 01:07:40,800
appear, and you wanted to keep
it a surprise to the audience that this

788
01:07:41,039 --> 01:07:45,960
character didn't appear, so you put
the character as played by George Spelvin in

789
01:07:46,079 --> 01:07:50,800
the program. In this case,
George Spelvin was used because the real name

790
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:57,440
of the actor who played Watson was
Wendell Holmes, and it was decided it

791
01:07:57,519 --> 01:08:03,320
would be confusing to tell the audience
that doctor Watson was played by Holmes,

792
01:08:03,559 --> 01:08:09,800
and thus the George Spelvin name was
deployed. Well, I hope you enjoyed
