Speaker 1: This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
Speaker 1: transmitted to our men and women over is by shortwave
Speaker 1: and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
Speaker 2: Petree Wine brings.
Speaker 1: You Dazo Wackborne and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures
Speaker 1: of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took
Speaker 1: time to bring you good wine.
Speaker 3: Invites you to.
Speaker 1: Listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he
Speaker 1: shared with his old friend, that master Detective Schwock Holmes.
Speaker 1: And as for me, well, I'd like to tell you
Speaker 1: about a wine it's just wonderful before dinner. And that
Speaker 1: wine is Petrie California's sherry. You know about sherry, of course,
Speaker 1: but do you know about Pety sherry. That Petrie sherry
Speaker 1: is the kind of wine you can really talk about.
Speaker 3: It has the look of quality, a.
Speaker 1: Rich, dark amber color, and it has the aroma, the
Speaker 1: bouquet as the experts call it, of one it for
Speaker 1: sun ripened grapes and flavor. Well, if you want your
Speaker 1: wine that tastes good, pet Tree Sherry is the one
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 3: It's really delicious.
Speaker 1: Oh and incidentally, if you like your sherry on the
Speaker 1: dry side, you know not. Sweet Petree makes a pale,
Speaker 1: dry sherry that's out of this world. Take home a
Speaker 1: bottle of Petree sherry. Serve it by itself or with
Speaker 1: orders or cocktail sandwiches, but serve it proudly because the
Speaker 1: name Petrie is the proudest name in the history of
Speaker 1: American wines. And I'll prior weekly visit with the good
Speaker 1: doctor Watson.
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's expecting us to doctor. Oh no, no,
Speaker 3: don't get off. You look much too comfortable.
Speaker 4: Take if you're a coach, and come and join me.
Speaker 1: Well, I enjoyed your story of a scandal in Bohemia
Speaker 1: last week, doctor, and tonight.
Speaker 4: You promised us a sequel.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's right, it's about tell a sequel to place
Speaker 5: over twenty years afterwards.
Speaker 4: In nineteen hundred and nine to be elected Shellock Holmes
Speaker 4: was living on his Sussex pe farm. Was only in June.
Speaker 4: I remember that.
Speaker 5: I received a telegram from the great Man asking me
Speaker 5: to come and spend a long weekend with him.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure you needed no urging to accept the invitation.
Speaker 4: None, mister Bardo, none at all.
Speaker 5: I hadn't seen Holmes for some time and this fact,
Speaker 5: combined with my rather indifferent health, found me on the
Speaker 5: Eastbourne train a few hours.
Speaker 4: After receiving the telegram.
Speaker 5: A dog cart was at the station to meet me,
Speaker 5: and after a brisk drive across the Downs, I found myself.
Speaker 4: Once more with my good friend. He looked somewhat older
Speaker 4: than when I had last seen.
Speaker 5: Him, but as he spoke to me, I realized, from
Speaker 5: the keenness of his voice and the sparkle in his
Speaker 5: eye that Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 4: Would never really be old.
Speaker 5: After a while, our conversation lapsed into the comfortable silence that,
Speaker 5: because he could tap on me, exists only between friends.
Speaker 5: And there, as the sun was setting, Holmes picked up
Speaker 5: his beloved violin and began to play some haunting melody.
Speaker 5: As he lay back, eyes half closed, his long, thin
Speaker 5: fingers caressing the instrument, a wave of nostralia swept over there.
Speaker 5: I thought of the many years that we'd spent together,
Speaker 5: of the exciting adventures that we had shared during the
Speaker 5: old days.
Speaker 4: In Baker Street. Beautiful, quite beautiful.
Speaker 3: Thank you Watson.
Speaker 1: M M. You look uncommonly wistfullyer Jan, you're thinking of
Speaker 1: the old days, yes, Holmes, I was so was I
Speaker 1: so well. Those were exciting times. But it's company to
Speaker 1: think that now we will not be disturbed by a
Speaker 1: dangling doorbell follows by some poor.
Speaker 3: Devil in trouble.
Speaker 1: Nowadays, my greatest excitements are connected with the segregation of
Speaker 1: the Queen Bee and the night time proclivities of Charles Augustus,
Speaker 1: my Tomcat.
Speaker 5: I still find it hard to think of you in
Speaker 5: retirement homes. Do you ever consider returning to active practice?
Speaker 1: Or I consider it occasionally and then reject the idea
Speaker 1: and the should work only up to the peak of visibility.
Speaker 3: I'm past nine.
Speaker 4: Nonsense homes just alert as.
Speaker 3: Over you were mentally, perhaps they're not physically.
Speaker 4: Would we consider handling a small problem in in England with.
Speaker 3: Its personal problem that defects you, My dear Chap. You
Speaker 3: know I'll do anything I can.
Speaker 4: It's exactly my problem, Homes. But it was a charming
Speaker 4: young girl on the train.
Speaker 3: We we got into conversation, and you don't age in, Chap.
Speaker 3: You are just as susceptible as ever.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, Homes, let me finish. She said
Speaker 4: that you knew her mother quite well.
Speaker 3: Her mother Allen, Oh, yes, Deve's what is it.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to disturb you, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1: Your man said I might come in my master, mister
Speaker 1: Linton Stanley instructed me to deliver the snow.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you.
Speaker 2: He yes, also instructed me to wait for a reply.
Speaker 3: What confounded infidence? You said, master, that there's no answer
Speaker 3: to this letter.
Speaker 4: But he told me I must get a reply.
Speaker 1: If you don't, stan Standard that I will instruct my
Speaker 1: solicitors to reply to his message in due course.
Speaker 3: Sir, that's all, dealers. You may go pretty good, sir.
Speaker 4: What did the note say? Hum?
Speaker 3: Read it for yourself.
Speaker 5: Keep yourselthy, these where they belong. One of my guests
Speaker 5: is stung yesterday. If this happens again, I'll have the
Speaker 5: police run you out of his place. Lord, an offensive letter.
Speaker 3: The man himself is even more offensive.
Speaker 1: He's a retired manufacturer who thinks that his immense wealth
Speaker 1: entitles him to domineer over the local residence.
Speaker 3: Oh but let not.
Speaker 1: Spoil a nice sunny afternoon by discussing him. Please continue
Speaker 1: with the sorry of the young lady that you've met
Speaker 1: on the Yes, I'd like to.
Speaker 4: All little things seems in dreadful trouble. I wish you
Speaker 4: would help her.
Speaker 3: You say that she told you were her mother knew me? Yes,
Speaker 3: what's her name?
Speaker 4: Norton? I really Norton Norton.
Speaker 3: I don't seem to recall. Over the course, where is
Speaker 3: the girl Watson?
Speaker 4: She's staying at the Red Lne in the village.
Speaker 3: Then ring her on the telephone and ask her to
Speaker 3: come over and get as fast as she can. Of
Speaker 3: course I'll help her.
Speaker 4: I'm related at Holmes. But what made you change your
Speaker 4: mind so suddenly?
Speaker 3: Do you remember?
Speaker 1: It's a shock that you can't remember. I really Adler,
Speaker 1: sure you haven't forgotten. In the case you call the
Speaker 1: scandal in Bohemia, eye was completely fool while Julius.
Speaker 4: This is, of course you always referred to as the woman.
Speaker 4: But how does Irene Notton fit into the picture?
Speaker 1: I really Idler married a barrister named Jeffrey. Tell miss
Speaker 1: Notton to come at wets Watson. She's the daughter of
Speaker 1: the woman.
Speaker 6: Mister Holmes. I had too much about you from mother.
Speaker 6: She says, you're the cleverest man in England.
Speaker 3: Your mother flatters me, my dear child, She herself was
Speaker 3: much more tell than I.
Speaker 1: In fact, yes, did she ever tell you about the
Speaker 1: the circumstances under which we met.
Speaker 6: Mister Holmes, though she did tell me that you were
Speaker 6: a witness when she and my father were met.
Speaker 3: Very true, my dear, Very true. Though the o ken
Speaker 3: was a little there.
Speaker 1: Well, I will we say unusual. Look here it's sir
Speaker 1: Golden's oprin. I wear on my watch chains and a
Speaker 1: mentor of that day. I also have a charming photograph
Speaker 1: of your mother.
Speaker 6: You must have known her quite well.
Speaker 4: How about telling mister Holmes about your troubles? Why not?
Speaker 1: Reminiscences are charming that they can wait until we've dealt
Speaker 1: with your problems.
Speaker 6: Mister Holmes, I'm being blackmailed.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm sorry to hear it by whom by a.
Speaker 6: Neighbor of yours, mister Lyttle Stanley.
Speaker 1: Do you know him?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, indeed I do.
Speaker 5: Matter of fact, mister Holmes received the most offensive note
Speaker 5: from the gentleman less than an hour ago.
Speaker 3: What hold does mister Stanley have over you, my dear?
Speaker 6: He has some letters and rather indiscreet editors of mine
Speaker 6: that I wrote to a friend of his last year.
Speaker 3: How did he obtain these letters, Miss Norton?
Speaker 4: He must have stolen them.
Speaker 6: I don't know how but when I staying in his
Speaker 6: house a few weeks ago, he told me that he
Speaker 6: had them and asked five thousand pounds for their return.
Speaker 1: And why should he consider our letters eaten in discreet
Speaker 1: letters worth so large a son?
Speaker 6: I'm engaged to be married to Lord Western's son. That
Speaker 6: awful man didn't Stanley knows that if my fiance saw
Speaker 6: the letters, the marriage would never take.
Speaker 4: Plans I must see extremely compromising.
Speaker 6: They aren't, really, But I was much younger when I
Speaker 6: wrote some in facts. I was only seventeen. I'm afraid
Speaker 6: they could easily be misconstrued.
Speaker 4: Have you told your mother?
Speaker 3: Oh no, she'd never understand. She might surprise you on that.
Speaker 3: I think, how about your father?
Speaker 6: Daddy's a barrister. You can imagine how straight is easy
Speaker 6: about the whole thing. That's why I came to you,
Speaker 6: mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: Oh I see you. She will feel that I am
Speaker 3: not so well? We say, straight, lady, of course you aren't.
Speaker 6: Mother's told me about you. And in any case, I've
Speaker 6: read doctor Watson's story.
Speaker 1: What is my dear fellow on your stories will lend
Speaker 1: me in Celia trouble one of these days?
Speaker 6: What are you suggesting mister Holmes can do for him
Speaker 6: get the letters back for me?
Speaker 4: But how steal them?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, mydear, what's Dubby Shocksnorton is a fourth
Speaker 1: right girl?
Speaker 3: I come out before her? It's mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: You can't say you won't help me.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think that. I can't say it. In
Speaker 3: any case, I have a slight personal score to settle with.
Speaker 1: Mister Linton Stanley myself. He's rude and has no understanding be.
Speaker 4: And how are you going to steal the letters?
Speaker 3: That problem requires a thought, old chap.
Speaker 6: I can tell you how to do it, mister.
Speaker 3: Hol This is delightful, my dear.
Speaker 1: You explained the problem and also the way of solving it.
Speaker 1: How easy a detective's work might be if all plans
Speaker 1: were equally helpful.
Speaker 3: Tell me what is your plan?
Speaker 6: Tomorrow? The servants half day off at mister Lytton Stanley's.
Speaker 6: He will be alone there during the afternoon.
Speaker 3: How do you know that fact?
Speaker 6: My maid was keeping company, as they say, with Beavis
Speaker 6: the butler when I was staying there a few weeks ago.
Speaker 6: She found out everything from him. My letters are kept
Speaker 6: in a filigree box in his.
Speaker 1: Desk with your enterprise. My dear, I'm surprised that you
Speaker 1: didn't try and open the desk to sol.
Speaker 6: I did, but it's very still and has a combination
Speaker 6: of hard However, I'm sure that you and doctor Watson
Speaker 6: can think of some way of getting the letters, particularly
Speaker 6: if mister Litton Stanley's alone.
Speaker 3: In the house. We shall do our best, Miss Morton,
Speaker 3: har must.
Speaker 6: Be one thing, though, both of you.
Speaker 4: What's that? Don't read the letters? Will you?
Speaker 6: I'm really rather ashamed of writing.
Speaker 4: Course we won't. You're both so sweet to me.
Speaker 6: How can I thank you?
Speaker 4: Thanks?
Speaker 3: Would be a little time that you are you could
Speaker 3: do us to say that? Of course?
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 3: Your mother had a beautiful voice, I recall. I wonder
Speaker 3: if you would hit her talents.
Speaker 6: I do sing, though I've never done so professionally like mother, and.
Speaker 1: I've never played the violin professionally. But perhaps sent between
Speaker 1: us we could give Watson a little concern the.
Speaker 5: Life flow, Dear, we can't do anything until tomorrow anywhere?
Speaker 3: What would you like to sing?
Speaker 6: Song?
Speaker 3: More? William? Remarkably appropriate.
Speaker 6: So of the from.
Speaker 4: Tonight music and Tomorrow A touch of Daylight robbery.
Speaker 3: Dear old Watson, your disguise is really excellent.
Speaker 5: I must confess I'm a little APPREHENSI.
Speaker 3: Wont have there's no need to be.
Speaker 1: I assure you you as doctor Hamish, and I as
Speaker 1: the referend LB are calling mister pen Stanley ostensibly in
Speaker 1: search of a contribution for my charity hospital that you
Speaker 1: are in charge of.
Speaker 3: What could this imply?
Speaker 4: What made you decide on the role of the clergyman?
Speaker 3: It should simplify our entrance at the house.
Speaker 1: No, I must confess that a rare touch of sentiments
Speaker 1: pumped at the choice of my disguise.
Speaker 4: How do sentiments enteranty.
Speaker 1: Or surely you remember that it was in the role
Speaker 1: of a simple minded, nonconformist clergyman that I once attempted
Speaker 1: to deceive Miss Norton's mother.
Speaker 4: That's right, I've forgotten. That woman really fascinates you.
Speaker 1: Renny Adler was one woman I've always regarded with unbounded admiration,
Speaker 1: even though she was a criminal.
Speaker 3: But the matter of this fellow, are you ready? Yes,
Speaker 3: you have the equipment I mentioned to you in my pocket.
Speaker 3: That chap let's be off if his home mother devil
Speaker 3: doesn't the answer the door.
Speaker 5: Come, Come, come, my dear reverend Apple for passing your
Speaker 5: languages is hardly approved.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, doctor Heimmish, that comes someone.
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Litton Stander, that's my name.
Speaker 3: The nine is Apple and this is my friend.
Speaker 4: Doctor Haines id to me. I've heard a great deal, Bilky.
Speaker 1: What can I do for you if we're to come
Speaker 1: in from her medle explain our mission very well.
Speaker 7: I'm into the study.
Speaker 1: We're raising a subscription list for charity Hospital of battle Way,
Speaker 1: just across the Downs. You're a prominent residence here. We
Speaker 1: thought that you'd like to donate a few guineas.
Speaker 7: I'm really not very interested. I've given as much to
Speaker 7: charity this year.
Speaker 3: As I can afford.
Speaker 4: Well, it's a fine courser.
Speaker 5: I'm giving my medical services three days a week, and
Speaker 5: the Reverend Appleby is done his saviss two?
Speaker 7: Who else has contributed to this time?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Your neighbors, sir. We just came from the bee farm
Speaker 3: over the Downs. The owner, mister Holmes gave us a
Speaker 3: check for five guinas.
Speaker 7: Holmes gave you five guineas did he have?
Speaker 5: Very nice gentleman, mister Holmes. We're propos him to name
Speaker 5: a world in the hospital after him.
Speaker 7: Is this list of subscribers going to be published in
Speaker 7: the paper.
Speaker 6: Oh yes, oh yes, mister Bitton stands.
Speaker 1: I'll give you, sir, if you say, Hugh, I'll get
Speaker 1: my check book fits in this desk?
Speaker 7: Now who do I make this check payable to?
Speaker 1: Will still.
Speaker 3: Any heat? Watson iPhone doesn't take long? The ling of
Speaker 3: the desk. That's it. Do see philipgree box in there?
Speaker 4: Huh there it is splendid. Holmes, don't open it.
Speaker 3: You promise that you would, just wish to make sure.
Speaker 2: To make sure pull us there, mister Sherlock Holme, Oh no,
Speaker 2: don't move. I have a revolver, and don't turn around.
Speaker 2: Place the box on the table. Mister Holmes, put your
Speaker 2: hands up, gentlemen, both of you.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 3: I know that vices dealers, but that's quite correct, Olive.
Speaker 4: If you need pull a revolvers, is your your muster.
Speaker 1: I'm not in the least interested in my master's health,
Speaker 1: doctor Watson. In fact, if you were dead, I should
Speaker 1: be delighted.
Speaker 3: And what are you up to leave us?
Speaker 2: I'm taking advantage of a situation, sir.
Speaker 3: I've been trying to open that desk.
Speaker 4: Boots.
Speaker 1: After such kindness on your part, sir, I hate to
Speaker 1: seem ungracious, but I'm pretty afraid I shall have to
Speaker 1: kill you. To kill both of you, Doctor Watson's story
Speaker 1: will continue in just a second, So I'm just going
Speaker 1: to remind you that good food always tastes better when
Speaker 1: served with good wine. And if you like a red wine,
Speaker 1: say with steak or meat of any kind, you love
Speaker 1: Petrie California Burgundy. If you'd rather have a white wine,
Speaker 1: say with chicken or fish, then by all means, get
Speaker 1: Petree California so turned.
Speaker 3: Oh, and look, if opinion is.
Speaker 1: Divided in your family, if some of you like a
Speaker 1: red wine and some like white, yes is obvious. Don't
Speaker 1: buy one, buy two.
Speaker 3: Remember that, huh.
Speaker 1: Don't buy one, buy two, but do buy Petrie. Then
Speaker 1: you know it's good, the doctor. That was a fine
Speaker 1: place to break off your story, with the butler pointing
Speaker 1: a gun at your backs, and you and Sherlock homes
Speaker 1: with your hands above your heads.
Speaker 4: What happened next?
Speaker 3: No, at least you didn't get killed.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't be sitting here in California night telling me
Speaker 1: the story.
Speaker 5: But supposing I'd take you back in the story to
Speaker 5: the point where I looked off well, all.
Speaker 3: Right, then take me back down it take me back
Speaker 3: very well.
Speaker 5: He stood their homes, and iye our hands above our heads,
Speaker 5: as Divas said.
Speaker 1: How greateful I am that you were open the desk
Speaker 1: for me after such kindness on your part, Sir, I
Speaker 1: hate to seem ungracious, but I'm greatfully afraid I'm going
Speaker 1: to have to kill you both because I just like
Speaker 1: to APPEs stupid at such a dramatic moment.
Speaker 3: But why is it near to kill us?
Speaker 1: For months, I have been waiting for an opportunity to
Speaker 1: steal the Kitman Jar Emerald, and now you have done
Speaker 1: it for me, sir, and presented me with a perfect
Speaker 1: galibar kit the jar Emerald. Who come now, Miss Pomes.
Speaker 1: You know the treasures in this house as well as
Speaker 1: I do. Apart from the emerald, there's a superb genie.
Speaker 1: Fetch a fine price in the right Mandy.
Speaker 4: We aren't here after any valuables, my good man.
Speaker 1: Please don't call me your good man, doctor Watson. It's
Speaker 1: patronizing and untrue. In any case, sir, whether you were
Speaker 1: here after the valuables or not makes no difference. I've
Speaker 1: caught you both red handed.
Speaker 3: You're complictly in my power.
Speaker 1: Gentlemen, I can't steal the treasures I sperson and pretend
Speaker 1: to be responsible exactly, Sir, I shall kill you both
Speaker 1: secree for objects appeal to me, and when my master
Speaker 1: agains consciousness, I should explain that I found three men
Speaker 1: burgling the house, that I killed two of them while
Speaker 1: the third got away.
Speaker 4: With the loot.
Speaker 2: Who will be able to die by word to.
Speaker 3: Be regarded as a hero, then might even have my
Speaker 3: salary raised. Watson, I'm afraid this is the end.
Speaker 4: Door chap, a sordid way to die.
Speaker 1: God adds at least two esteep courtesy of allowing us
Speaker 1: to face the farthing squad.
Speaker 3: Will him very well?
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, turn round, but don't try any tricks.
Speaker 3: One last request, and what is it, sir? I'm beaten,
Speaker 3: and I admit it.
Speaker 1: I'm getting old, but in my headay, I crossed the
Speaker 1: swords with some of the greatest criminals in Europe.
Speaker 3: My life has been attempted many times, but I've always escaped.
Speaker 1: If this is to be my sponsor, at least give
Speaker 1: me the privilege of shaking the hand of a man
Speaker 1: who has at last bested me. Well said, I feel
Speaker 1: that I'm stepping a little out of my station. But
Speaker 1: I suppose the situation is unusual. I hope don't object
Speaker 1: to the left hand, Sir, I'll keep the.
Speaker 4: Revolver in my right.
Speaker 3: Very well, Divers, you are good bye, mister Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: Goodbye, Divers, and my congratulations, but my congratulations for being
Speaker 1: a fool. Well on home, never getting old Watson. But
Speaker 1: I've not lost my skill of barat So.
Speaker 4: You went over your shoulder in a flash. Fortunately the
Speaker 4: bullet went wise.
Speaker 3: Watson struck the desk as it fell.
Speaker 4: You'll be unconscious for a while.
Speaker 1: Good that, I think, will take the pause of cursing
Speaker 1: this desk drawer. Then want him to be exposed to
Speaker 1: perfect temptation when he comes to how we are?
Speaker 4: I shouldn't we get into touch with the police?
Speaker 6: Home?
Speaker 3: Please qu'scoton ol follow?
Speaker 1: After all we are bird lesson were in disguise is
Speaker 1: two facts that would be hard to explain satisfactorily.
Speaker 3: And open with at to the pea pharma soon as possible.
Speaker 4: You suppose you're right, Miss Notton'll be waiting for us.
Speaker 4: Then tell her what happened. Poor girl. I'm fraid she's
Speaker 4: in for something of a shock.
Speaker 6: It's the home, doctor Watson. I'm so glad to see
Speaker 6: you back again. Did you get the filigree box?
Speaker 3: Yes, Miss Norton, here it is at homes. I didn't
Speaker 3: know that you, Watson. Why not open it? Miss Norton?
Speaker 2: Will I open it?
Speaker 3: My dear? They may not be love letters beside it,
Speaker 3: but there's a note. Why don't you read it to us?
Speaker 6: Let this be a warning Norton. Crime does not pay
Speaker 6: if you don't believe me at your mother? Sincerely, shall
Speaker 6: I comes?
Speaker 1: Mister Holmes, you knew mer secret, hold it not all
Speaker 1: the time, but I realized that as soon as I'd
Speaker 1: opened the filigree box.
Speaker 4: What on earth you're talking about?
Speaker 6: This?
Speaker 1: Norton was under the impression that she could use me
Speaker 1: as a cat for as a dupe to commit a
Speaker 1: burglary for her.
Speaker 4: I still don't understand. Home.
Speaker 3: You will remember she asked us to promise not to
Speaker 3: open the box, But.
Speaker 4: You did, sir. Just before the fellow Helme, I saup
Speaker 4: with a revolver. What was inside the.
Speaker 1: Barn impressive greenstone which I knew to be the Kitman
Speaker 1: jar Emerald.
Speaker 3: I slipped it back into mister little Standley's.
Speaker 1: Desk and locked it, rocked the box yere because I
Speaker 1: wanted to see your expression, Miss Norton as you opened it, Scott,
Speaker 1: and I thought you would pull a thing in trouble.
Speaker 3: You have to save yourself, younglady.
Speaker 6: That I'm terribly sorry, mister Holmes, terribly Harry. It seems
Speaker 6: like a wildly exciting idea. But I didn't really.
Speaker 1: Mean to see you of course not no, no, of
Speaker 1: course you didn't lent me to see it for you,
Speaker 1: Miss Norton. I'm convinced you knew that your mother once
Speaker 1: outwitted me, and you presumed to think that you could
Speaker 1: do the same. I should turn you over to the police.
Speaker 6: Please don't, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: You can't do that.
Speaker 1: I certainly could, but I'm not going to for two reasons. First,
Speaker 1: you're young and impressionable, and this can teach you a lesson.
Speaker 3: And in the second place, I have a strange.
Speaker 1: Admiration for your mother. But I want you, Miss Norton,
Speaker 1: that you have had a narrow escape, a very narrow.
Speaker 6: Escape, mister Holmes. Before I go, there's one favor I
Speaker 6: want to ask you, really, what is it? Could I
Speaker 6: keep this filigree box with your note inside it. It
Speaker 6: would be a reminder all my life of how we met.
Speaker 3: What do you say, Watson, your box to give as
Speaker 3: to your fellow.
Speaker 1: That's quite true, but I fail to see how we
Speaker 1: can return it now without disclosing our own share in
Speaker 1: the attempted robbery.
Speaker 3: In any case, I don't like mister Lipton Stanley.
Speaker 1: We might indulge in a little petty last name with
Speaker 1: doctor feeling too guilty.
Speaker 3: Very well, Miss Morton, you may keep the box.
Speaker 6: I shall owe his treasure it. Thank you. Good Bye,
Speaker 6: Doctor Watson, don't think too badly of me. Good night,
Speaker 6: mister sher Lock.
Speaker 4: Home you know homes. I must say you were surprisingly
Speaker 4: lenient with that girl. You suppose her mother put her
Speaker 4: up clothing.
Speaker 3: That possibility had occurred to me. Hello, and yet I
Speaker 3: have a feeling that come in doors open?
Speaker 4: Will you expected? Gott?
Speaker 3: It's looking believing, sir. This is an unexpected honor Holmes.
Speaker 1: We haven't been the best of friends, I know, but
Speaker 1: you've got to help me now. I'm in serious trouble.
Speaker 3: Oh indeed, wont you sit down? This is my friend
Speaker 3: of what I do? And now, sir, and what is
Speaker 3: your trouble?
Speaker 1: I've been robbed, Holmes, robbed what the stone? Well, my
Speaker 1: greatest pleasure. The Kipmens are emeralds to remove from his chase,
Speaker 1: and then mysteriously returned loose in my jest afterwards.
Speaker 7: But there's a priceless Chillney missing.
Speaker 6: Have you.
Speaker 3: Have you any eye hear who the Thurgos might be
Speaker 3: or it was a gang.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's a couple of disguise as a clergureman
Speaker 1: and a doctor came into the house on the pretext
Speaker 1: of raising money for some hospital, and they overpowered.
Speaker 7: Me with chlorophorm.
Speaker 1: Oh, dear me, dear me, I'm very I'm plessing for you. Yes,
Speaker 1: when I came to I found my bucket Jebbers lying
Speaker 1: beside me in a pool of blood. The brave fellow
Speaker 1: had wrestled with the thigs, but they got away and
Speaker 1: he's in the hospital now. Holmes, you've got to help me.
Speaker 3: The kitman jar emerald was returned, you say, but a
Speaker 3: Chillini is missing.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's an it's filigree box in which I had
Speaker 1: kept the emerald, a phillygree box. Yes, it's a genuine Chellini.
Speaker 1: It's worth several thousand pounds. Homes you must help me
Speaker 1: solve this business. I'm sorry, mister little Stanley, but I'm
Speaker 1: afraid I can't help you. I retired, yes, and I
Speaker 1: intend to remain in retirement.
Speaker 3: Good night, sir.
Speaker 1: Not all, but I will pay you any fee within reason.
Speaker 3: My decision is final, sir, good night.
Speaker 7: I might have known I wouldn't get any help from you.
Speaker 3: Holmes, she fools again, stares the little devil. She knew
Speaker 3: that boxters at Tellina all the time.
Speaker 4: You don't seem very angry with all Ah.
Speaker 3: I should be, but I'm not. What splendid audacity, what
Speaker 3: a superper nerve the child has?
Speaker 4: But you must get the box back from her?
Speaker 3: I shall, watson, I shall, or rather I shall persuade
Speaker 3: Deepest to do it for me as the price of
Speaker 3: our silence.
Speaker 4: How can he get it back?
Speaker 3: Remember that he walks out as Miss Norton's maid.
Speaker 1: I am certain that when he explains his predicament, he
Speaker 1: can prevail upon her to steal the box from her mistress,
Speaker 1: so that it may be returned to which white colona.
Speaker 4: It's a good idea that, George Holmes, this not is
Speaker 4: a chip of old block, all right?
Speaker 1: Yes, wats and cheers, and it makes me wonder for
Speaker 1: the birth. Ah, I wonder, my dear Chap, how long
Speaker 1: I can remain in retirement such worthy antagonist at large
Speaker 1: As a challenge, it's an irresistible challenge, you know.
Speaker 3: Doctor Watson. I just can't get over the way you
Speaker 3: and mister Holmes. Let that girl Irene was at her name,
Speaker 3: pull of wool over your eyes? Why she really twisted
Speaker 3: you around her little fingers.
Speaker 5: I like to make extremely positive statements, but I'm sure
Speaker 5: that if you were in my shoes, I really would
Speaker 5: not only have twisted you around her little finger that
Speaker 5: she had you ruin about hoops standing on your head.
Speaker 5: You mean she was that beautiful, mister, butto she was
Speaker 5: so beautiful that she'd make you forget all about Petrie.
Speaker 3: Wine, Doctor Watson, No girl is that beautiful? Oh?
Speaker 4: How young you really are?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 5: Maybe so?
Speaker 1: But there are lots of pretty girls in this world
Speaker 1: and only one Patree wine. That's because there's only one
Speaker 1: Patrie family that's been making wine since the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: And believe me, because the Patrick business has always been
Speaker 1: family owned and operated, they've been able to hand on
Speaker 1: down from father to son, from father to son. The
Speaker 1: highly skilled art of making fine wine, and those generations
Speaker 1: of wine making add up to a lot of experience.
Speaker 1: The Patrie family really knows how to turn luscious California
Speaker 1: grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. That's why, no matter what
Speaker 1: type wine you wish, you can't go wrong looking for
Speaker 1: the label that says p E.
Speaker 3: T R.
Speaker 1: I Petrie, because Patrey took time to bring you good wine. Well,
Speaker 1: doctor Watson, what story are you planning to tell us
Speaker 1: next week?
Speaker 5: Well, now, next week, mister Bartell's the day before Christmas.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to tell you.
Speaker 5: An adventure that took place many years ago and involved
Speaker 5: homes and myself in one of the most fantastic Christmas
Speaker 5: Eve situations in which we ever found ourselves.
Speaker 4: I think you like the story. I call it the
Speaker 4: Night before Christmas.
Speaker 3: That sounds well, doctor.
Speaker 4: Oh thank you.
Speaker 7: Oh.
Speaker 5: By the way, before I comes to Barcola, I'd like
Speaker 5: to remind our listeners there's no better way to spend money.
Speaker 4: And to spend it on Christmas seals.
Speaker 5: Every pen is spent on Christmas seals not only helps
Speaker 5: cure tuberculosis, but it also helps prevent it right in
Speaker 5: your own community.
Speaker 4: Your purchases of Christmas steals in the past have saved
Speaker 4: thousands of lives.
Speaker 5: Keep saving lives by all the Christmas seals you can
Speaker 5: afford this year, now, won't you.
