Speaker 1: This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be
Speaker 1: transmitted to our men and women overseas a short wave
Speaker 1: and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Speaker 1: Radio Service. Petree Wine brings you Battle Rathbone and Nigel
Speaker 1: Bruce in the New Adventures of Schlock Holmes. The Petree family,
Speaker 1: the family that took time to bring you good wine,
Speaker 1: invite you to listen to Doctor Watson tell us about
Speaker 1: an exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, that
Speaker 1: master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And so why you're getting comfortable,
Speaker 1: I'd like to tell you about an old, old American custom,
Speaker 1: the custom of serving a glass of sherry wine before dinner.
Speaker 1: Petree California sherry. You know, Petree sherry is to a
Speaker 1: good meal what the overture is to a good musical,
Speaker 1: comedy or an opera. Before you sit down at the
Speaker 1: dinner table, just pour yourself a little glass of Petree
Speaker 1: sherry and sip it slowly. Look that beautiful amber color,
Speaker 1: Smell the fragrance of those sun ripened grapes, and taste
Speaker 1: that fine sherry flavor. You'll agree with me. I'm sure
Speaker 1: that Petree sherry is the best beginning a good meal
Speaker 1: ever had, and say, if you happen to like your
Speaker 1: sherry dry as I do, you will really like Petree
Speaker 1: pale dry sherry. Believe me, you can't go wrong with
Speaker 1: any wine that bears the name Petrie, the proudest name
Speaker 1: and the history of American wines. And now let's drop
Speaker 1: him on the good doctor Watson, who's waiting for us
Speaker 1: in his California ranch house. Good evening, doctor, good.
Speaker 2: Evening with the foreman. Come in and make yourself a tone.
Speaker 1: Thank you, doctor. Sitting here with the lights off, I
Speaker 1: see you've been getting yourself in the mood for the night.
Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes story, My boy, I was watching the sunset
Speaker 1: quite a beautiful tonight, I doctor, the sun set over
Speaker 1: an hour ago.
Speaker 2: If I know that, young fellow. All I know that,
Speaker 2: but am a fellow entitled to take a little snooze
Speaker 2: after Dinner's me of.
Speaker 1: Course he is, doctor, And how do we settle that?
Speaker 1: How about tonight's story.
Speaker 2: Well, a very beautiful girl figured prominently in this adventure,
Speaker 2: mister Foreman. Her name was Jasmine Lafleur.
Speaker 1: Huh you say that again, doctor Glas, I know, my boy.
Speaker 2: But that was her stage name when she was a
Speaker 2: magician's assistant. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity of seeing
Speaker 2: Jasmine Lafleur in the theater, but I'm told that she
Speaker 2: was a fascinating figure in tights and in spangles. But
Speaker 2: Holmes and I first met her, however, she was dressed
Speaker 2: a little more conventionally, and the name was then Diana Bennering,
Speaker 2: Lady Venering.
Speaker 1: Lady Bennering, say those tights and spangles really paid off,
Speaker 1: didn't they. Well, how did you and sure our coins
Speaker 1: come to meet up with her? Doctor?
Speaker 2: In rather spectaculous style, mister Foreman. Miss Lafleur became something
Speaker 2: of a fem fat title in the early nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 2: First of all, she married Signor Rossoni, the magician for
Speaker 2: whom she was working. On the wedding night. He was
Speaker 2: mysteriously stabbed to death a few months later. Madame Rossone
Speaker 2: very fetching in her widow's weeds. I'm sure that's Sir
Speaker 2: Wilfrid Venering, and after a world wind courtship she married him.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me he got murdered too, He.
Speaker 2: Did, mister Foreman, also on the night of the wedding,
Speaker 2: but this time the police found a suspect. It was
Speaker 2: a certain Major Beckworth, cousin of the dead man and
Speaker 2: an ardent suitor of the fair Diana. The trial at
Speaker 2: the Old Bailey was one of the most sensationals I
Speaker 2: ever remember. Sherlock Holmes and I been caught on the
Speaker 2: closing day of the journey. Was still considering their very Holmesy,
Speaker 2: the jury has been out over eight hours. I bit you.
Speaker 2: They can't agree on a verdict of the neutrial.
Speaker 1: I think not, Old chap Look, Heathery, come down. You
Speaker 1: know there's a strong moral probability of guilt that I
Speaker 1: am sure they'll agree that there's insufficient evidence to convict him.
Speaker 2: I sure, right. Just look at lady Venering down there,
Speaker 2: a hill of it. What a what a stunning woman?
Speaker 1: Yes, and a woman of great points and courage. Here
Speaker 1: it comes, gentlemen of the jury, have you arrived at
Speaker 1: a verdict?
Speaker 2: We have me not. I'll say you you're paying the
Speaker 2: defendant of your head?
Speaker 1: Are not your head? Not guilty? Exactly? Come on, Watson,
Speaker 1: let's get a breath of pressure.
Speaker 2: And I was perhaps we shouldn't go over and congratulated
Speaker 2: the Venery.
Speaker 1: What the fact that our husband's murder has not been found.
Speaker 2: I suppose you're earn.
Speaker 1: You've gotver read the book of Chevid Watson Urman. I
Speaker 1: don't think so when you it published it before our time,
Speaker 1: old chap. It's a no Testament story.
Speaker 2: Whatever made you think of it this moment?
Speaker 1: Well, it's so remarkably opposite for the case, Lady Fry.
Speaker 1: It deals with behind the peculiar series of murders seven
Speaker 1: from correctly, who's a murderer? A jealous Stephen by the
Speaker 1: name of Asma dare he strangled husbands on their wedding night?
Speaker 2: Judging by the verdict just now you're bect with this
Speaker 2: the asmadirs? Who will have you call him? In this case?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: God?
Speaker 1: No? Thank you? It quite far.
Speaker 2: An? All right?
Speaker 1: Here we are? This isn't this? A widow of the
Speaker 1: murdered man says that she will marry the suspect. Lady
Speaker 1: Vendoring told newspaper reporters this afternoon that had made your
Speaker 1: affect with his acquitted she will marry him before he
Speaker 1: get us out from her soul homes.
Speaker 2: Is a positive sparkle in your eyes you read it.
Speaker 1: But I must admit the lady fascinates me. Old chap.
Speaker 1: I hope before she becomes involved in any further tragedies
Speaker 1: that we may have the opportunity of meeting them. And
Speaker 1: something tells me that we will.
Speaker 2: Sunday papers are certainly having a field there over the
Speaker 2: ventering case home. Did you read them? There's a complete
Speaker 2: like history of Lady Venning, and one of them with photographs.
Speaker 2: It's other interesting. Really, what are you doing over there? Home?
Speaker 1: Ah?
Speaker 2: Yes, are you expecting anybody home?
Speaker 1: Come over? The girl fellow?
Speaker 2: That's a clergyman, as a.
Speaker 1: Very educated one. The way he's pacing up and down
Speaker 1: and looking up at our window too, Joe what I yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a fanatical look about him, which suggests either the
Speaker 1: martyr at the stake or the inquisitor liking the fagots.
Speaker 2: Missus Hudson's letting him in now, well, it'll be interested
Speaker 2: to know what he's come to us about. And your
Speaker 2: footsteps on the stairs, I'll gonna have a look. My
Speaker 2: producer come along in, won't you. It's all right, thank you,
Speaker 2: Missus Hudson, you, Missus Shallon Holmes.
Speaker 1: I am s. This is my colleague, doctor Watts. My
Speaker 1: name is Whalen. The Reverend Arthur whalem, how you do
Speaker 1: s down you and then tell me what I can
Speaker 1: do for you? And thank you, mister Holmes. This this
Speaker 1: is a very difficult subject to vote.
Speaker 3: In fact, it's only after intense personal conflict that I've
Speaker 3: been able to force myself to come to may.
Speaker 1: I ask you, are you familiar with the Book of Tobit?
Speaker 1: Good Toby, you're talking about that yesterday? I see that
Speaker 1: you've come to consult me about the Dinnering case. But
Speaker 1: that's amazing. How did you know has Lady Vanvant been
Speaker 1: in touch with you? No, sir, but I'm familiar with
Speaker 1: the Book of Tobit's and Lady Nring's case firstly resembles
Speaker 1: that of the woman Sarah and the Old Testament story
Speaker 1: more closely than you realize.
Speaker 3: Mister Holmes. Did you know that before each one of
Speaker 3: Lady Vernering's husbands was killed, they received a threatening note?
Speaker 1: Yes, I recall that from.
Speaker 2: The trial, signed in some sort of gibberish.
Speaker 3: No doctor, yesterday, I was permitted for the first time
Speaker 3: to examine one of these books.
Speaker 1: The apparent gibberish was in reality ancient Hebrew writing. Indeed,
Speaker 1: will you ever translate it? Yes, mister Holmes. In effect,
Speaker 1: it said if you go through with this marriage, your
Speaker 1: hours are numbered. And it was signed as Modeus, the
Speaker 1: name of the jealous demon who strangled husbands in the
Speaker 1: Book of Tubid. Exactly just why have you come to MESA.
Speaker 3: I want you to talk to Diana, to Lady Mring,
Speaker 3: to tell her she must not go through with this
Speaker 3: new marriage.
Speaker 2: Mother is stalking her.
Speaker 1: Mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: I have argued with her, prayed with her, implored her
Speaker 3: to realize her danger, but she is adamant.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I feel extremely presumptuous in giving her my advise. No,
Speaker 1: mister Holmes, I have prepared the way for you you could.
Speaker 1: I'm shown her, realized her danger, and she is willing
Speaker 1: to see what you say. Willing and anxious very well.
Speaker 1: But I'd like to ask you a few questions. Fits anything,
Speaker 1: mister Holmes. What is your interest in her? She is,
Speaker 1: she's a member of my funck. She needs my guidance,
Speaker 1: nothing further O. No, mister Holmes, I believe that you
Speaker 1: performed the great ceremony at both the previous winnings. Yes, A,
Speaker 1: proposing to officiate the ceremony if she marries Major Bickhip
Speaker 1: while I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that marriage will never take place, and so
Speaker 3: I want you to help me. Mister Holmes, where does
Speaker 3: the lady live?
Speaker 2: Forty seven?
Speaker 1: That is fair hell, Dr Watson, and I will call
Speaker 1: on now this afternoon. I doubt if I can be
Speaker 1: there myself. In fact, Diana might speak more freely if
Speaker 1: i'm not. But here's my card. You know where to
Speaker 1: get in touch with me if you want to.
Speaker 2: And it was good day you gentlemen.
Speaker 1: And I'm praty in your debt.
Speaker 2: Strange. This is holmeser. I can't believe that mister Whylan's
Speaker 2: motives are entirely.
Speaker 1: Impersonal, nor can I, Old Jack.
Speaker 2: We'll love you about it. I was thinking of the
Speaker 2: Book of.
Speaker 1: Tobd once in that the role of protector, the role
Speaker 1: I had just been asked to take, was played by
Speaker 1: the archangel Raphael. Can't help feeding Watson that I'm making
Speaker 1: distincts quite in my profession. That is Sherla Coles.
Speaker 4: I'm so glad to meet you.
Speaker 1: How do you do, Lady Benring? May I introduce my
Speaker 1: old friend doctor Watson.
Speaker 4: How are you doctor Watson?
Speaker 1: To meet you?
Speaker 4: Let's it down, You're just in time.
Speaker 1: For tea. Thank you. You know why we're here, of course, naturally, mister.
Speaker 4: Whyland came around here as soon as he left you.
Speaker 4: You want to persuade me to look after my mortal
Speaker 4: affairs while he takes care of my immortal ones, Isn't
Speaker 4: that is? May I said, mister Holmes that I'm flattered
Speaker 4: that a man of your eminence should be sufficiently interested
Speaker 4: to brother.
Speaker 1: But you wonder us to make your own important, Lady
Speaker 1: ben Ring, though I may mention that if your problem
Speaker 1: had been as simple as mister Whaler made it out
Speaker 1: to be, I might have been otherwise engaged.
Speaker 4: For being very frank and a little mysterious? Are you
Speaker 4: suggesting that mister Whalen didn't tell you everything?
Speaker 1: I am, and I hope you will be more candid
Speaker 1: with me.
Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes. I like you.
Speaker 4: You are most refreshing.
Speaker 1: I here you are.
Speaker 4: How about do doctor Ward?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 4: And now, mister Holmes, perhaps you'll tell me why you
Speaker 4: think that you haven't been told everything.
Speaker 1: The more I answered that, a Lady Ring, I wonder
Speaker 1: if I might ask you some questions, but of course
Speaker 1: anything When your first husband, see Sonia, was killed, did
Speaker 1: the police mind any Sussex.
Speaker 4: Yes, one friendand Gautier, a young man who had been
Speaker 4: an assistant in our magicians act, a stupid, brooking boy
Speaker 4: who thought he was not with me, but of course
Speaker 4: in Speculus tried to release him.
Speaker 2: There was no evidence you converted to fear rested him.
Speaker 1: The boy was a warning note was found among your
Speaker 1: husband's efects, wasn't it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: And it was signed in Hebrew with the name Asmodeus.
Speaker 4: But perhaps you're not familiar with the Book of Too Oh, yes, yes.
Speaker 1: I am, I'm familiar with it, Lady Nring. How did
Speaker 1: you know then that the Hebrew letters signified that name.
Speaker 4: Mister Wheland translated them for me see and also read
Speaker 4: me the Book of Tubid. He's always been particularly fond
Speaker 4: of that book, perhaps because it illustrates his own ideas
Speaker 4: on the dangers of Mary.
Speaker 2: Told us that he hasn't seen one of the warning notes.
Speaker 1: Yesterday, beside, Lady Venring, I read in the papers that
Speaker 1: you intend to marry Major beckwith a man who has
Speaker 1: just been tried for your late husband's murder.
Speaker 4: Yes, mister Holmes, when you read Marion, may I ask,
Speaker 4: but it pleases me it doesn't.
Speaker 1: It occur to you that a great deal of commonal
Speaker 1: becaused also that Major Beckwid's life is in obvious.
Speaker 4: Daja, of course it occurs to be, my dear man,
Speaker 4: that's because of two tragic marriages Anna to spend the
Speaker 4: rest of my life alone, as mister Bullin.
Speaker 2: Would have me do.
Speaker 4: I'm young alive, Peter.
Speaker 1: What are you doing here?
Speaker 2: I just arrived back in England today, Diana?
Speaker 1: What's this I read about you marrying Deck with Peter?
Speaker 4: I have guessed mister Sherlock Combs and doctor Watson. This
Speaker 4: is Biter Macombs, one of our most promising young painters.
Speaker 1: Through when I left England? You love me? And are
Speaker 1: you I come back?
Speaker 5: And what do I find You're planning to marry beck
Speaker 5: with Well, I won't stand for it. If you think
Speaker 5: you can throw me over like some silk boy, you're
Speaker 5: very much mistaken. I can tell things, you know, I
Speaker 5: can tell lots of things.
Speaker 4: Get out of here, Peter, Get out, Diana, and don't
Speaker 4: come back until you've learned manners and discretion.
Speaker 2: Get out.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. Gentlemen, were there any more and you wanted
Speaker 4: to ask me? Mister Holmes.
Speaker 1: One, Lady Benring, where is your fiancee Mita Beckwer. He's upstairs.
Speaker 4: I'm leaving him stay here until the scandal of the
Speaker 4: trial has died down.
Speaker 1: I must see him at once once for my holmes.
Speaker 2: He's in no danger till the marriage takes place.
Speaker 1: The manage has taken place. Watson, that time very much mistaken.
Speaker 1: You are much too discrete an intelligent lady, entering to
Speaker 1: let him take it in your house unless you were
Speaker 1: already married.
Speaker 4: We were married this morning, but we plan to keep
Speaker 4: the factor secret for a few months until the scandal
Speaker 4: had died down.
Speaker 1: Talk to him, please, I'll ring for the butler and
Speaker 1: ask him to camber.
Speaker 2: May I ask madam who married you? And all the
Speaker 2: time he talked to us today and you perfect the

Speaker 1: What a woman?
Speaker 2: What's she?
Speaker 1: Super magnificent enough you mean her? What courage? What unconquerable
Speaker 1: spirit in the face of a fresh tragedy? What she
Speaker 1: fascinates me? I haven't seen such a splendid female since
Speaker 1: we solved that case. For the ki Doctor Watson's story
Speaker 1: will continue in just a few seconds, time enough to
Speaker 1: remind you that the easiest way to make good food
Speaker 1: taste better is to serve that good food with a
Speaker 1: swell Petry wine. And there are two Petrie wines in particular,
Speaker 1: just made to go with food. Petrie California so Turned,
Speaker 1: a delicate white wine with a subtle flavor that's perfect
Speaker 1: with chicken and fish. And Petrie California Burgundy, a hearty,
Speaker 1: rich red wine that's out of this world with any
Speaker 1: meat or meat dish. So if you want to know
Speaker 1: just how good a cook you are, serve your good
Speaker 1: food with pet Tree wine made to go with it,
Speaker 1: a Petrie Burgundy or a Petrie so Turned. Two swell
Speaker 1: Petree meal time wines. And now back to tonight's new
Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes adventure. The famous detective and his old friend
Speaker 1: doctor Watson have become involved in the affairs of Price
Speaker 1: married Diana, one time magician's assistant. Each of her husband's
Speaker 1: has been mysteriously murdered on his wedding day, the latest
Speaker 1: murder occurring on the same day that Sherlock Holmes and
Speaker 1: Doctor Watson are brought into the case. As we rejoin
Speaker 1: our story, it's a month later, and for some obscure reason,
Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes seems to have lost interest in the case,
Speaker 1: though not in the beautiful day, mister Robes. Yes, the
Speaker 1: start of gets over a month now since Major Beakers
Speaker 1: was murdered and we haven't found a single clue. You
Speaker 1: expect me to supply the deficiencies of Stutton Yard world.
Speaker 1: It's unlike you not to help us, Miss Robes, And
Speaker 1: after all, you and Dr Watson are in the house
Speaker 1: when it happened. If you ask me, the murderers either Macomas,
Speaker 1: that Irish painter or the clergyman Wayne. What do you think?
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, the cases closed the start,
Speaker 1: and I wish you stop bothering me, But I think
Speaker 1: I am nothing but a detecting machine. Mister Robs, whatever's
Speaker 1: come over you, Holmes, You're not getting out again this evening.
Speaker 2: I am afraid. It was the fourth night in the Rose,
Speaker 2: hoping that we might have a nice quiet evening before.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Watson, but I promised to take Diana to
Speaker 1: the hostel at Olympia. I should be home by midnight.
Speaker 1: I'm scarce as to Whellen you're.
Speaker 3: Seeing how to get a much at Diana. She seems
Speaker 3: to be completely under your spirit. You introduced it to
Speaker 3: her in the first place, with the request that I
Speaker 3: keep an eye Ona. I made a great mistake as
Speaker 3: her spiritual protector.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I must ask you to stop seeking her.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I must ask you, sir, and mind your
Speaker 1: own business.
Speaker 2: I said, Holmes. Have you seen the paper that that
Speaker 2: varnas Is II is playing at the Albert Halls?
Speaker 1: And I know I haven't looked at the paper today.
Speaker 2: We might do a long time off you.
Speaker 1: I can't hold you. No, I'm taking Diana to the
Speaker 1: French made a dlius here that I hear. It's a
Speaker 1: charming musical comedy.
Speaker 2: Look here, we've been friends with a good many years now,
Speaker 2: and I think I'm entitled to speak to you straight
Speaker 2: from the shoulder, of course, ro Watson, very well, then
Speaker 2: this Diana Beckworth your own business as versions. I can't
Speaker 2: beat to see your making such a fool of you.
Speaker 2: You've elected your work at talents that you matter, you
Speaker 2: get about as a young fellow.
Speaker 1: Let's come over your stop to stop tasting about the
Speaker 1: old chat when you want said down. In fact, it
Speaker 1: might be a good idea if to fortified yourself with
Speaker 1: another brand, diffrom the pantlers.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: What I'm about to tell you maybe something of a shock.
Speaker 1: And what's uh? Diana and I are getting married tomorrow?
Speaker 2: What did you say?
Speaker 1: And I'm getting married tomorrow? But two, that's not very clapping?
Speaker 1: What's in any way? I don't see why you should
Speaker 1: be so surprised you you you yourself married and left
Speaker 1: Baker Street once?
Speaker 2: Didn't you view homes have confirmed? Woman? What's not? Indeed?
Speaker 1: No, you will remember in our adventure that you titled
Speaker 1: a scandal in Bohemia, I met a lady that I
Speaker 1: have often referred to.
Speaker 2: As the woman you mean ire in the Adler.
Speaker 1: But she was a criminal Jackie. Yet Diana has the
Speaker 1: same magnificent characteristics, intelligence, courage and unconquerable, states terms.
Speaker 2: Three of her husband's murdered on their wedding nights.
Speaker 1: You're proposing to be the fall rubbish, my dear, because
Speaker 1: tragedy has attended her previous marriages, you should go through
Speaker 1: life alone.
Speaker 2: Homes you do you really mean it, don't you?
Speaker 1: Of course I do.
Speaker 2: I think I will have a liver of brenna.
Speaker 1: Oh, don't take it so bad. Your fellow will continue
Speaker 1: to see a lot of each other. Diana's very fond
Speaker 1: of you. You know.
Speaker 2: Who's going to perform the ceremony, not the the rever
Speaker 2: mister Wayl.
Speaker 1: We decided, in view of Diana's previous marriages that he
Speaker 1: might prove to be a tyfluh well unlucky. A spergeman
Speaker 1: named Belnay will officiate Wayne, and of course insists on
Speaker 1: being present up the same.
Speaker 2: What times the wedding the mar Oh one.
Speaker 1: I should have mentioned this before. I hope your cutaway
Speaker 1: coat and top hat are in a good state preservation.
Speaker 1: You will be a pretty prominent figure at the ceremon.
Speaker 2: You know you mean that?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm in the test. If Sherlock Holmes gets married,
Speaker 1: who else could be his best man? But his old
Speaker 1: friend doctor. It's elementary, my dear fellow, elementary.
Speaker 6: I now pronounced men and white, and those whom God
Speaker 6: had joined together.
Speaker 1: Let no man put asunder, Dihannah.
Speaker 2: I'm going to claim the privilege of the best man.
Speaker 1: And if you kiss, of course you shall doctor.
Speaker 2: You you it's lucky fuller, of course, I am sure.
Speaker 4: I'm going upstairs to change my dress now, Diana, I'll
Speaker 4: be up shortly.
Speaker 2: I'll see you later. Dofter?
Speaker 1: What very well?
Speaker 2: Missus Holmes? And that was what I looked for.
Speaker 1: What's not so I'm worried.
Speaker 2: Well, it's terriful follow what's the better?
Speaker 1: Well, just before the ceremony I received one of those
Speaker 1: warning note signed by as Monteus, So you better be
Speaker 1: careful home and you can't slip out and have a
Speaker 1: pipe or two on the matter. Yes, look after my
Speaker 1: guests for me. Were your eyes open?
Speaker 2: Ill? Indeed they were to wellen? Would you care for
Speaker 2: a glass of champagne or puncher?
Speaker 1: Coming early?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 3: No, doctor, I'm in no mood for celebration. I'm certain
Speaker 3: that Diana has made a shocking mistake. I only came
Speaker 3: here in the last minute attempt to dissuade her. Now
Speaker 3: that I've failed, I shall leave.
Speaker 2: Good day, sir doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: Hold on, where's mister Holmes.
Speaker 2: He's back in a few minutes. Would you care for
Speaker 2: a glass of champagne? Thank you?
Speaker 1: I should like to drink a toast of the pear.
Speaker 1: I've been in love with Diana for years, you know,
Speaker 1: but she wouldn't marry me, and I suppose I might
Speaker 1: as well make the best of it. I must say,
Speaker 1: your French shallock home seems like a splendid fellow.
Speaker 2: He is, indeed, mccomis. In fact, I may say, all right,
Speaker 2: help's not coming one else the matter host.
Speaker 1: Follow me, locked the door behind you. Allow me to
Speaker 1: introduce you to the demon Asmodea spots And unfortunately, at
Speaker 1: the moment she is a faint good word it Diana xactly,
Speaker 1: always an infectious woman. She made the mistake of trying
Speaker 1: to stab me for that knife, so I dent her
Speaker 1: for to strap off the suitcase she didn't allow for
Speaker 1: the wall mirror in which I was watching her. Do
Speaker 1: you mean you suspected her all along, mighty old fellow?
Speaker 1: The probably was to find a poof. I first suspected
Speaker 1: her when I knew that she had been a magician's assistant.
Speaker 1: The key to the profession of magic is misdirection, and
Speaker 1: these murders have been a perfect example of misdirection motive
Speaker 1: do you mean well? By creating as the dairs? Thanks
Speaker 1: to the well meaning stories of the reverend mister Whalon,
Speaker 1: whose theological libraries she must have covered the Hebrew signature,
Speaker 1: She focused the murders on jealousy, concealing the fact that
Speaker 1: the one person with a purpose vote it was herself,
Speaker 1: the widow who was to inherit.
Speaker 2: Why wasn't he been caught before?
Speaker 1: She was devilish forever? She left no clues except an
Speaker 1: indirect one that I had once studied the lightliest person
Speaker 1: to be able to approach a bridegroom unsuspected, and scab
Speaker 1: In is his bride. And now I wish you'd see
Speaker 1: if you can revive her, old fellow, when the police
Speaker 1: gets here. I should like missus homes used to be
Speaker 1: in full possession of all her faculties.
Speaker 2: Who her homes. I must say, I never expected to
Speaker 2: be driving back with you the Vega Street on your
Speaker 2: wedding joy.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you, dear old, once you really got
Speaker 1: that I deserted. You didn't joke.
Speaker 2: Oh that's if you'd told me the truth.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell anyone, not even you, if the faintest
Speaker 1: shadow of suspicion at thended, I mind, I'd never accll her.
Speaker 2: Well, it seems to be you paid pay high price homes.
Speaker 2: You told me you made a will in her favor,
Speaker 2: supposing something happened to you, but before her trial she'd
Speaker 2: get the money. You know.
Speaker 1: Oh no, that was worth this right Diana, that it
Speaker 1: was a holographic will, and perfectly that it.
Speaker 2: Well, what on earth is a holographic a will drawn
Speaker 2: up in.
Speaker 1: That one's own handwriting on a piece ofdetic plane paper.
Speaker 1: Such a document is quite legal. But I threw mine
Speaker 1: up on a paper with them well, with a look
Speaker 1: head that made it indared.
Speaker 2: Well, I see the fact remains that you are married. Home.
Speaker 1: I really fooled you completely didn't die watch me. I
Speaker 1: didn't the name of the clergyman who married us suggest
Speaker 1: anything to you?
Speaker 2: You lever verily know and where should it? Well?
Speaker 1: Darney was a French painter of some note. He also
Speaker 1: happens to have been a great uncle of mine and mycrofts.
Speaker 2: You mean that if your brother Miccroft was a clergyman,
Speaker 2: I mean that Micraft.
Speaker 1: Was despised as a clergyman. And they're very convincing. Javi
Speaker 1: did too, a more satisfactory clergyman than the reverend mister
Speaker 1: Whaler note whose possible complicity may compell him to answer
Speaker 1: some very awkward questions.
Speaker 2: And you're not married. Put myself homes.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I suggested.
Speaker 2: You say nothing, my dear.
Speaker 1: Let's just sit back quietly as too good friends can.
Speaker 1: And who about the young mutability of human affair? Well, doctors,
Speaker 1: then's adventure was really a little extraordinary, to say the least.
Speaker 1: Home I'm sure had a narrow escape.
Speaker 2: Doublin narrow, and was the foreman Doublin narrow. He not
Speaker 2: only escaped the jaws of death, but he also escaped
Speaker 2: the clutches of meta. Actually the story had a happy
Speaker 2: ending for everybody but lady vell Ring Jazzmine la Fleur.
Speaker 1: What about that artist follow of Commas, how did he take? Oh?
Speaker 2: Very well but well indeed in fact and gratitude even
Speaker 2: painted Holmes is portared not exactly a good likeness. No
Speaker 2: one of those modern artists who pat his impressions of
Speaker 2: a person, but rather than a portrait, what do you mean, Well, now,
Speaker 2: let me see. If he were to paint as impression
Speaker 2: of you, you'd probably end up by looking like a
Speaker 2: bottle of pet wine in his sports check. You go ahead, Dotty.
Speaker 1: You can tease me all you want, but I'll still
Speaker 1: rave about Petree wine. And why not, the facts bear
Speaker 1: me out that Petree wine most certainly is good wine.
Speaker 1: After all, the Petrie family knows all there is to
Speaker 1: know about the art of turning plump, sun ripe and
Speaker 1: grapes in the fragrant, delicious wine. That's because they've been
Speaker 1: making wine for generations ever since they started the Petree
Speaker 1: business way back in the eighteen hundreds. And because the
Speaker 1: making of Petree wine is a family affair, the family
Speaker 1: has been able to hand down from father to son,
Speaker 1: from father to son, all their skill and knowledge and experience.
Speaker 1: And believe me, that adds up to plenty. So no
Speaker 1: matter what type of wine you prefer one to serve
Speaker 1: with meals or wine for any special occasion, choose one
Speaker 1: of the fine pet Tree wines. You can't miss because
Speaker 1: Petree took time to bring you good wine. And now
Speaker 1: doctor Watten, what story to have line up for us next?
Speaker 2: Well, now let me see this de foreman. I'm going
Speaker 2: to tell you about deff but a strange adventure to begin,
Speaker 2: I am. I take you a wild cab ride through
Speaker 2: the moonlit streets of London and ended homes and me
Speaker 2: being trapped in a luxuriously furnished cellar below a furniture
Speaker 2: warehouse down by the waterfront.
