Speaker 1: And now, doctor Watson, how about that stolen neighbor Treedy.
Speaker 2: Yes, let's see.
Speaker 1: One July morning.
Speaker 3: It was the July which immediately succeeded my marriage. Eh
Speaker 3: and received a communication from an old school friend, Percy Philips.
Speaker 3: Percy's mother's brother was Lord Holhurst, the great Conservative politician,
Speaker 3: and this rather gorder relationship was.
Speaker 1: Of little value to him when we were at.
Speaker 3: School, I can assure you. However, they let us seem
Speaker 3: to be fairly urgent. So I headed around to Baker Street.
Speaker 3: I found Homes in his dressing gown, plunged in the
Speaker 3: middle of a chemical investigation. A large curved retort was
Speaker 3: boiling furiously in the bluish flame of a Bunsen burner.
Speaker 3: Seeing the look of concentration on Holmes's face, I seated
Speaker 3: myself in my old arm chair and waited, hardly daring
Speaker 3: to breathe.
Speaker 1: H Most enlightening, Most enlightening. Yes, you come at a crisis, Watson.
Speaker 1: If this slip of paper remains blue when it touches
Speaker 1: the solution, all will be well. If it turned red,
Speaker 1: it means a man's life. I see sturn it rupt Watson.
Speaker 1: This is the crucial moment. I watch carefully there, But
Speaker 1: I see it has burned red and nasty blood red.
Speaker 1: Blood red is quite correct, Watson, A very commonplace murder.
Speaker 1: Well that's the end of battle experiment. Hi, fill up
Speaker 1: your pipe and then hand me the Persian slip on.
Speaker 1: All right, here you are, so you've come on business, Watson? Yes,
Speaker 1: but how did you know the letter touched so tightly
Speaker 1: in your right hand? Not to mention the look of
Speaker 1: acitment and anxiety on your face. You are the stormy
Speaker 1: petrol of crime. Watson. What is it with this letter?
Speaker 1: It came in the morning mail. Read it to me.
Speaker 1: That's a good chap.
Speaker 3: It's from an old schoolfellow of mine. I haven't seen
Speaker 3: him for years.
Speaker 1: Yes, but what did he say?
Speaker 3: The letter is headed Briar Bray Woking. My dear Watson,
Speaker 3: I trust you still remember Tadpole Phelps, who was in
Speaker 3: the fourth Forem when you were in the third. You
Speaker 3: may even have heard that through my uncle's influence, I
Speaker 3: obtained a good appointment at the Foreign Office, where I
Speaker 3: was in a situation of trust until a horrible misfortune
Speaker 3: suddenly blasted my career. Do you think you could persuade
Speaker 3: your friend Sherlock Holmes to come down here to help
Speaker 3: solve this terrible mess.
Speaker 1: Assure him that the only reason I have not asked.
Speaker 3: His advice sooner was because I have been completely off
Speaker 3: my head for nine weeks. I am still so weak
Speaker 3: that I have to write by dictating, as you see,
Speaker 3: your old schoolfellow, Percy Phelps, h let.
Speaker 1: Me see that letter doesn't tell us very much, does
Speaker 1: hardly anything. Yet the writing is of interest, but it's
Speaker 1: not his own. Precisely, it's a woman's, but it looks
Speaker 1: like a man. No, it's a woman's, and a woman
Speaker 1: of unusually strong character. It's always interesting to know that
Speaker 1: your client is in close contact with someone who, for
Speaker 1: good or evil, has an exceptional nature. Yes, my interest
Speaker 1: is already awakened in the matter. Then you will take
Speaker 1: the case. The next train for walking leaves an exactly
Speaker 1: forty three minutes. Howry, what's no we shall miss.
Speaker 4: It if you step in here, gentlemen, I find out
Speaker 4: if mister Phelps.
Speaker 1: Can see you.
Speaker 3: Dear, dear, Well, the old place hasn't changed since the
Speaker 3: days when I used to visit here on my vacations.
Speaker 1: It makes me feel quite young again.
Speaker 5: Ah, show our curves, I perceive and Dr Watson too,
Speaker 5: I presume, so glad you could come. Percy's been inquiring
Speaker 5: for you all morning. Poor chap it clings to any straw.
Speaker 1: My dear man, I may look as thin as a straw,
Speaker 1: but I promise you I have more weight mentally. I've
Speaker 1: to see you yourself and not a member of the family. Oh,
Speaker 1: dear me, how did you know the monogram on the
Speaker 1: pocket of your blazer?
Speaker 5: J H Of course, of course, But a moment I
Speaker 5: thought you had done something clever.
Speaker 2: My name is Hardison, Joseph Edison.
Speaker 5: Percy is engaged to marry my sister Annie, so I
Speaker 5: shall soon be a relation by marriage. At any rate.
Speaker 5: My sister is with him now. She's nursed him hand
Speaker 5: and foot during these trying two months.
Speaker 1: Soothing his fevered brow. Eh, lucky fellow.
Speaker 2: Yes, you will find them in his room, My room rather.
Speaker 5: At least it used to be my room until he
Speaker 5: came home after the catastrophe and corpsed. They couldn't carry
Speaker 5: him upstairs he was in such a state, so they
Speaker 5: took him into my room.
Speaker 2: We'd better go in it once. I know how impatient he
Speaker 2: is to see you.
Speaker 1: Yes, this conversation is delightful, But after all, we did
Speaker 1: come to see mister Phelps.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, quite so go on this way. It's
Speaker 2: in this swing next to the dining room.
Speaker 1: You say, this is the door. I'll leave you here.
Speaker 1: You can come in if you like. Oh no, thank you.
Speaker 5: No invalids are always depressing, and with this misfortune hanging
Speaker 5: over his head, poor fellow, very well, come in.
Speaker 6: Oh you've come at last, at least I presume this
Speaker 6: is Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: Quite and how is your patient? Well, he's much better,
Speaker 1: thank you? What's in my dear fellow? Well tell you
Speaker 1: that I hardly knew you under that mustache. I didn't
Speaker 1: delight to see your both. This is my fanswer, Miss Harrison.
Speaker 1: Please sit down. Shall I leave Percy? Oh no, don't
Speaker 1: go any if you don't mind, mister Herbs, not at all.
Speaker 1: I feel much steadier when she's here. Quite and now
Speaker 1: this Phelps, Well you see, mister Herbs, it's like this.
Speaker 1: I was a happy and successful man, even being married,
Speaker 1: and then this dreadful misfortune wrecked my life. I'm a
Speaker 1: broken man, my honor God, I I ruined.
Speaker 2: Ruined Percy.
Speaker 6: Please you'll make yourself ill again.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and perhaps you'd better just tell us the
Speaker 1: facts as quietly as you can. So, of course, mister Holmes,
Speaker 1: I was, as Watson may have told you, in the
Speaker 1: Foreign Office, in a responsible position. My uncle, Lord Holdhurst
Speaker 1: is the foreign minister, you know well, nearly eight years ago,
Speaker 1: weeks rather the twenty third of May to me exact,
Speaker 1: he called me into his private room and informed that
Speaker 1: he had a commission of trust for me to execute.
Speaker 7: Come in, Come in, Oh it's you, Percy. Anyone out
Speaker 7: there in the hall nursing good, Come in and lock
Speaker 7: the door.
Speaker 1: Now come over here.
Speaker 7: I want to make sure we can't be overheard.
Speaker 1: That's it. What's up, uncle? You look tremendously solemn. It's
Speaker 1: a solemn matter, Percy. You see this piece of paper.
Speaker 7: It's a secret treaty covering our naval situation in the Mediterranean.
Speaker 7: Harmless enough in itself, but a bombshell. If it should
Speaker 7: fall into the hands of well certain government, the very
Speaker 7: walls may have years.
Speaker 1: Persy.
Speaker 7: Let us merely say the country of X. You understand,
Speaker 7: I understand. I want you to make a copy of it.
Speaker 7: I must have a complete copy by tomorrow morning. You
Speaker 7: may have to work on it the better part of
Speaker 7: the night.
Speaker 1: Oh that's all right, sir. Joseph and his brother you know,
Speaker 1: is going to stop buy for me. We're going to
Speaker 1: take the nine o'clock train together. He can tell the
Speaker 1: family I've been kept in town on business.
Speaker 7: Very well, but leave the message with the commissionaire downstairs.
Speaker 7: I don't want anyone in your room when you're copying
Speaker 7: that document.
Speaker 1: Very good, sir.
Speaker 7: When you've finished, you can put the document and the
Speaker 7: copy in my safe. You know the combination. I believe,
Speaker 7: certainly that's all percy. But don't forget. You hold the
Speaker 7: peace of Europe in your hands. I won't forget. Good night,
Speaker 7: Uncle Bert, good night. This is the way I'll have
Speaker 7: to make a night of it.
Speaker 1: Ay. Well, hello, Gotta, you're still here.
Speaker 5: Oh yes, I had some details to clear up, so
Speaker 5: I thought you'd want me to stay.
Speaker 1: Oh that's all right, Gotta. You can finish tomorrow, Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: are you sure you won't need me? No? Thanks, doesn't
Speaker 1: look as though I have a chance to go out
Speaker 1: for dinner. At least I can bring for coffee. Oh confounded?
Speaker 1: That bell pulls twisted again. Huh rains coming down harder
Speaker 1: than ever. Nice jolly little evening.
Speaker 2: This is you?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: There's nothing I can do with to the phelps?
Speaker 1: Good lord?
Speaker 8: No gota run along? Good night, sir, good I gotta hello,
Speaker 8: are you?
Speaker 1: I'm the Commissioner's wife, sir. What's more, I'm the child
Speaker 1: idea around here, the child lady. I see. I don't
Speaker 1: believe I've ever had the pleasure of making your acquaintance before. No, sir,
Speaker 1: that you haven't. If you mean what I think you do,
Speaker 1: would you inquire if your esteem spouse would spare me
Speaker 1: a coup of the excellent coffee he keeps hot for
Speaker 1: any pay slaves of the Empire who are obliged to
Speaker 1: work at night.
Speaker 7: You mean, herb, we should bring you half a cup
Speaker 7: of coffee.
Speaker 1: Yes, please, I'll see what I can do about Yes,
Speaker 1: use your influence. Well let's have a look at that treaty.
Speaker 1: Mm great Britain triple Alliance. Yes, French leaped complete ascendency.
Speaker 7: Oh it's no use, I'm too drowsy.
Speaker 1: Oh is the guy would have a cup of coffee? Herbert,
Speaker 1: I say, Herbert coffee? Oh found a fellow draft all
Speaker 1: the way downstairs, Herbert. Mm hmm, fast asleep, Herbert, Wake up?
Speaker 9: Hell.
Speaker 1: Well, Oh it's you, mister Philps. Yes, I came down
Speaker 1: to see my coffee was ready. But I think the
Speaker 1: front doorbells rang bell? Yes, but if you was here,
Speaker 1: who rang that bell? What bell? I told you it
Speaker 1: was that it's the bell of the room you was
Speaker 1: working inside. Great thunder my bell. There's no one up there. Treaty,
Speaker 1: Oh good, heavens. I left it on the table quick, covid.
Speaker 1: We've got to get up there. Something terrible is heavening. Go,
Speaker 1: don't run so faster, Gray Cord. It's not too late.
Speaker 1: Wad I lopened the door, stand back of it.
Speaker 2: He be armed.
Speaker 1: I got my army revolver. There's no one here. What
Speaker 1: look the treaty. The treaty is gone? Or who could
Speaker 1: have taken it?
Speaker 7: No one's been in the front way tonight, sir.
Speaker 1: And there was no one in the rooms but yourself.
Speaker 1: My wife says, so then you must have comped the
Speaker 1: stairs in the side door and slipped out that way too.
Speaker 1: You're after in heaven quickly. You may not be too late.
Speaker 1: Pray man, hurry, don't you go out, sir? You miss
Speaker 1: your besked to the skin. Hell, there's a policeman on
Speaker 1: the corner. Have he's seen something? I say, Bobby, if
Speaker 1: if youre there's been a robbery in the poll an office?
Speaker 1: Has any passed this way? It's tending a quarter of
Speaker 1: an hour soon. Only one living souls passed in that time?
Speaker 1: Who was it that all old lady in Appaisley Shaw.
Speaker 1: She seemed in a hurry, for that was my wife?
Speaker 1: Which way did she go? You're just wasting your time, sir,
Speaker 1: and every minutes of importance. It's all right, we'll go
Speaker 1: back and forward. Scotland Yard. Oh, it is terrible, terrible,
Speaker 1: we're ruined. Uh, never you mind, sir.
Speaker 7: You'll lose your posts perhaps, but they can't do nothing,
Speaker 7: so dreadful to you.
Speaker 1: It's not myself I'm thinking of.
Speaker 8: It's England.
Speaker 1: Well offices from Scotland Yard. We're waiting for the charwoman
Speaker 1: when she got home. And what did they find? Nothing?
Speaker 1: Absolutely nothing? And god did they trace him, yes, mister Holmes,
Speaker 1: but again nothing was found. I was frantic, out of
Speaker 1: my mind. They had to get a doctor to take
Speaker 1: me home. I was delirious seven weeks and these two
Speaker 1: people got own the charwoman. They've been under observation ever since.
Speaker 1: I suppose, Yes, with no results. You say it had
Speaker 1: been raining all evening. Yes, but you found no traces
Speaker 1: of any kind in the room. No footprints, I mean
Speaker 1: absolutely none, not even those are the charwoman's muddy boots.
Speaker 1: How do you explain that? Well, the charwomen in the
Speaker 1: habit of taking off their boots and wearing just carpet slippers.
Speaker 1: No footprints. Eh, has been lightening. Must have come in
Speaker 1: a cab and got away that way too the next day.
Speaker 1: The policeman's not seeing not in mister Phelps. Could anyone
Speaker 1: have been concealed in the room or in the corridor? Impossible?
Speaker 1: There there was no cover of any kind, windows thirty
Speaker 1: feet above the ground and locked on the inside. That
Speaker 1: it must have been the side door. Who knew you
Speaker 1: were to have the treaty in your possession? No, I'd
Speaker 1: take my oath on it. In your opinion, what would
Speaker 1: happen if those papers were to fall into the hands
Speaker 1: of a rival government war almost instantaneously? But it's eight
Speaker 1: weeks and we're not at war. Therefore it's not unfair
Speaker 1: to suppose the treaty hasn't reached them. I don't imagine
Speaker 1: the thief took the treaty in all to frame it
Speaker 1: quite when he's undoubtedly waiting for a better price. There's
Speaker 1: only one clue that puzzles me. What is that the bell?
Speaker 1: Did someone ring it to prevent the crime or was
Speaker 1: it an accident? If we only knew why the bell
Speaker 1: was run, we should have the solution of this case.
Speaker 1: It's even possible if he didn't. Of course, of course,
Speaker 1: what a fool I was not to think of that before.
Speaker 1: You think you can help me, possibly possibly, God bless
Speaker 1: you for that, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: If we can keep our courage and our patience, the
Speaker 6: truth must come out. But Percy has won more adventure
Speaker 6: to tell you about. You're sure you're strong enough, darling.
Speaker 1: Oh, I feel better than I have for days. Hope
Speaker 1: is a splendid tonic anny. And what was this other incident,
Speaker 1: mister Phelps. Well, you see, mister Holmes, last night was
Speaker 1: the very first night that I'd slept without a nurse
Speaker 1: in my rooms. I was rather wakeful. I had a
Speaker 1: nightmare or two, and suddenly I heard a slight noise,
Speaker 1: kind of noise like a mouse gnawing a plank. It
Speaker 1: grew louder, and all at once there was a sharp,
Speaker 1: metallic snack someone forcing the wind. As I realized that too,
Speaker 1: I jumped out of bed and flung open the shutters.
Speaker 1: A man was crouching in the window. He was gone
Speaker 1: like a flash. What do you look like? I don't
Speaker 1: really know. He was wrapped in some sort of cloak
Speaker 1: which had come across the lower part of his face. Oh,
Speaker 1: A one thing I am sure of. He had a
Speaker 1: long weapon in his hand that looked like a knife.
Speaker 1: I saw the gleam of it as he turned to run.
Speaker 1: I shouted after him, and then then I must have
Speaker 1: collapsed from the effort. The next thing I knew, I
Speaker 1: was surrounded by the entire household. Oh, Joseph and the
Speaker 1: groom found marks in the flower bed outside this window.
Speaker 1: You could see them from where you sit. Hear me, Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm afraid Joseph and the groom have been a bit
Speaker 1: too energetic for me to learn anything from the traces.
Speaker 1: A flower bed looks as if it had been trampled
Speaker 1: on by an army. Oh, I'm sorry. Why should a burglar,
Speaker 1: if it was a burglar, choose to enter this room.
Speaker 1: The dining room windows are much larger and more accessible.
Speaker 6: I can't imagine anless well unless it's a plot against Percy.
Speaker 1: If that sounds a bit melodramatic, ed at all, as
Speaker 1: something in what Miss Hallison says so much that Doctor
Speaker 1: Watson and I are got to take you up to
Speaker 1: London with us.
Speaker 6: Yes, but he's not very strong.
Speaker 1: You know the trip to London will not be nearly
Speaker 1: so dangerous to your fiance, Miss Harrison as another night
Speaker 1: in this room and another thing, Miss Harrison, you can
Speaker 1: be very helpful to answer to mister Help help mister Phelps.
Speaker 1: If you'll do one thing for me, you may take courage,
Speaker 1: but I think I can promise that you will be
Speaker 1: in no great personal danger. What is it you want
Speaker 1: me to do? Stay in this room until you go
Speaker 1: to bed tonight. Don't leave it for an instant, Mister Phelps,
Speaker 1: reputation and my whole future may depend on it. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to ask you to sleep here, but when
Speaker 1: you leave for the night, I want you to lock
Speaker 1: the bedroom door on the outside. Yes, but look here,
Speaker 1: something might happen. Not a word to anyone. It's for
Speaker 1: his sake. Remember, come in lunch, everybody. Something is specially
Speaker 1: nice for you. Percy. Come along, Anny, oh.
Speaker 6: Joseph, if you'll excuse me. I have a slight headache.
Speaker 6: I think I'll eat in here by myself.
Speaker 10: There's a breeze, and I want to be alone.
Speaker 1: I can't say I enjoyed cross country walks in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night, Watson. I thought we were going
Speaker 1: back to London. That's what you told everybody.
Speaker 3: We get on the train with Percy and the nurse
Speaker 3: and then we get off at the next station and
Speaker 3: leave Percy and the nurse to go up to London alone.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. Stop fussing. He'll be all right.
Speaker 1: I sent him on to Baker Street. With any luck,
Speaker 1: we should be there ourselves in time to have breakfast
Speaker 1: with him. Yes, but why sneak back to Briar Bray
Speaker 1: like this? Not so loud? There's the house now, you
Speaker 1: can see its gables in the moonlight. Follow me here
Speaker 1: through the hedge. But why the hedge when the gate's open.
Speaker 1: Not so loud.
Speaker 9: We've got to get as near as a house as
Speaker 9: possible without being seen.
Speaker 3: I say, there's quite a myster rising, ghostly looking white
Speaker 3: strips of it over there in the meadow. I say, look,
Speaker 3: the lamp is still lit. Him pleasant, I mean in
Speaker 3: Joseph's room. Miss Hallison must have kept her promise.
Speaker 9: Sh Yes, there she is reading a book. Now she's
Speaker 9: put it down. She's picking up the lamp.
Speaker 11: I say, Holmes, she must be getting ready to.
Speaker 1: Go to bed, quite possibly, Watson. I only hope she
Speaker 1: doesn't forget to lock the door on the outside. There
Speaker 1: she goes to the dining room. Now the light's gone.
Speaker 3: I see the mists are creeping up in the meadow. Y,
Speaker 3: if only the thief doesn't wait until they blanket the house.
Speaker 11: Look, the service door is opening. Excellent.
Speaker 1: I didn't think he'd wait very long.
Speaker 11: There he comes out into the moonlight. He's waiting a
Speaker 11: long black keep. You can't see his face. He's forcing
Speaker 11: the window. He's kind of open. He's climbing over the sill.
Speaker 11: We must get closer so we can see.
Speaker 1: I see he's letting the candles on the mantle.
Speaker 11: Look, he's putting back the rug in the floor. I
Speaker 11: thought so he's lifting up aboard.
Speaker 1: Now, then, mister Joseph Harrison, he good enough to hand
Speaker 1: over the papers you've just removed from that hiding pace. Hold,
Speaker 1: he's got a knife. You really have to see clipper
Speaker 1: craft clothes to know their excellence, and it's easy enough
Speaker 1: to see them right at your own local independent store.
Speaker 1: You have to see them because such superlatively fine quality
Speaker 1: sold at such low prices amazes even the experts. Suits
Speaker 1: are only forty dollars and forty three seventy five top
Speaker 1: coats and overcoats are only forty dollars, and sport jackets
Speaker 1: only twenty five dollars. The fit is beautiful, the woolens
Speaker 1: are long wearing, the tailoring is really superb. The famous
Speaker 1: clipper Craft plan makes this sheer magic possible, concentrating the

Speaker 1: across the nation, giving you the savings from this group.
Speaker 1: Buying at the store you trust. Selling expensive clothes at
Speaker 1: inexpensive low prices at the nation's finest independent stores is
Speaker 1: the great, big idea behind the Clippercraft Plan. That's why
Speaker 1: men who know insist on Clippercraft clothes, So be sure
Speaker 1: to visit the Clippercraft store in your city.

Speaker 12: that of Clippercraft in the label of your suit, top coat,

Speaker 12: one B Baker Street, where Percy Phelps is anxiously awaiting
Speaker 12: the arrival of Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: But it's almost nine now, Missus Hudson, and Holmes said
Speaker 1: they'd be here for breakfast at nine. Now, don't you worry,
Speaker 1: mister Phelps. If he says he'll be here for breakfast,
Speaker 1: he'll be here. It's when he don't say that, that's
Speaker 1: when you don't know whether it'll be breakfast or supper.
Speaker 1: He'll be wanting next. What did I.
Speaker 3: Tell you here?
Speaker 1: They are now driving up in a handsome cab.
Speaker 3: There's the front door and it's nine to the second.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Missus Hudson, Good morning, sir. Breakfast is on
Speaker 1: the tablets. What I say, homes, you've been wounded, your
Speaker 1: hands all tied up just to scratch hmm, breakfast, three
Speaker 1: covered dishes, splendid and plenty of steaming coffee. Excellent? Did
Speaker 1: you I mean income? Come? Business can wait until after breakfast.
Speaker 1: You look as if you needed a bit of nourishment,
Speaker 1: mister Phelps. Well I'm rilling up, really hungry. Well we are,
Speaker 1: Andrey Watson, I'm revenous. Ha ha what's this? Mm? Carry
Speaker 1: chicken and this ham and eggs? Better and better? Which
Speaker 1: will you take? Mister Phelps? Thank you. I couldn't touch
Speaker 1: a thing or come try the dish before you. I'd
Speaker 1: rather not. Really, Well, then I suppose you have no
Speaker 1: objection to helping me. Let's see what that dish contains.
Speaker 1: Certainly what it's papers, it's the neighbor, a treaty, the neighbor. Oh,
Speaker 1: God bless you, mister Holmes, God bless you. You saved
Speaker 1: me and you have saved England. Don't mention it, my
Speaker 1: dear Chap, don't mention it. But when that thorns first
Speaker 1: began to suspect that Harrison fellow, doctor Watson, when.
Speaker 3: He heard that pers he was expecting to stop bad
Speaker 3: for him. Mister Harris, I'm afraid Joseph's character was blacker
Speaker 3: than one would judge from his appearance we learnedlyter that
Speaker 3: he had lost heavily in dabbling in stocks, and he.
Speaker 1: Thought he could turn the treaty into money.
Speaker 3: Yes, besides, no one but Joseph could be so anxious
Speaker 3: to get into that bedroom, because no one but Joseph
Speaker 3: could have concealed anything there. Also, the attempt was me
Speaker 3: the first night the nurse was out of the way.
Speaker 3: Therefore the intruder was well acquainted with the house. But
Speaker 3: the bell, Doctor Watson, why was that so significant? Well,
Speaker 3: mister Harrison showed that the thief had not come there
Speaker 3: to pass his office.
Speaker 1: To steal the papers.
Speaker 3: He he came for another reason by appointment.
Speaker 1: As we know. He rang the bell and then happened
Speaker 1: to see the papers, Doctor Watson. Was he convicted, No,
Speaker 1: the case was never brought to court.
Speaker 3: It would have been a too ticklish a position for
Speaker 3: the Foreign Office.
Speaker 1: He was advice, however, to get out of the country
Speaker 1: and stay out, and did personally marry the sister doctor
Speaker 1: He did, And.
Speaker 3: To this day I don't believe she knows why her
Speaker 3: brother never returns to England.
Speaker 1: Why that was an exciting case, doctor Watson. And now
Speaker 1: what story are we to have next week. Will let
Speaker 1: me see.
Speaker 3: Next week, I think I'll tell about the Cornish horror
Speaker 3: or the Cradle that rocked itself.
Speaker 1: The cradle that rocked itself, yes, mister Harris.
Speaker 3: The the rocking cradle was supposed to indicate that someone
Speaker 3: in the Travening household was about to die. As a
Speaker 3: matter of fact, there were two deaths and another The
Speaker 3: turbines are the suppose I leave that till next weeknd
