That's a story that 17 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.920 I'm afraid I can never tell you. However, Tonight's adventure 18 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.320 took place a few days after Holmes had brought his 19 00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.359 case to a satisfactory, though somewhat terrifying conclusion. 20 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.200 I suggested to the Great Man that a short. 21 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.679 Holiday would be good for us before returning to England, 22 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.439 and so we spent some happy days browsing among the 23 00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:54.719 architectural treasures of old Rome, the Colosseum, the baths of Caracalla, 24 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.359 the Forum, the wonderful ruins on the Palatine Hill, I 25 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:02.119 couldn't drag homes away from mister Bartel, and at nighttime 26 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.560 he was able to indulce to his heart's content, his 27 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.719 great love of music. Finally, it was two nights before 28 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:10.120 we were to sail for England. I remember we went 29 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.840 to the opera house to hear the famous Italian soprano 30 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.400 Gina Valcazy singing bird his immortal lot traviata.

A pity though, 35 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.599 that most opera stars who were singing at Nightingale seemed 36 00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:54.599 to have the figures of. 37 00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.680 Unusually well fed powder pigeons.

Such 248 00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:57.440 a condition is quite common. In fact, I believe medical 249 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.200 science has given it a name. It's known as Laura pol. 250 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:01.279 Whatever it is it called. 251 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:03.879 It make me ill. I must go to my room. 252 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:05.960 I cannot stand much more. 253 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.879 My poor I imagine your sister death dogs in your life. 254 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:12.440 You will not sing tonight, sing your arms. 255 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.320 I love her very much, but even as sister is only. 256 00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.519 A sister, my art is my life. 257 00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.480 In an hour, singer, I sing Hilda in a rigoletto. 258 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:26.240 You will attend the performance, and afterwards you will tell 259 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.120 a love Casey how she may trap this devil who 260 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:30.919 sit to destroyer. 261 00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.600 Holmes. It's after nineteen thirty. We've missed quite a lot 262 00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.159 of the opera. 263 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:49.840 How they was going to above now just been time 264 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:52.279 to hear at our case he sing the incomparable caronomy. 265 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:55.519 Let's slip in as quietly as we can. 266 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:57.240 Seems to me we should have been in a box 267 00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.279 from the beginning of the performance. She asked you to 268 00:12:59.360 --> 00:12:59.879 keep an eye on it. 269 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:00.840 That's old Champ. 270 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.320 But it occurred to me that an attack on her 271 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:05.879 during the performance was unlikely, and that our time might 272 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:08.639 be more profitably spent thinking inquiries of the writing academy. 273 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:09.480 She drew a blank. 274 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.399 We'll no trace of that mysterious writer. 275 00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.240 No, but at least we tried. Here we are, let's 276 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:17.120 stand at the back of the theater for a few minutes. 277 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.879 Great Scott, that isn't our cases singing, it's the understudy. 278 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.200 But these protoghe the American girls. What a beautiful life one, 279 00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.840 but with a beautiful, wonderful range. But yeah, we have 280 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.960 no time to listen to her. Now we must go 281 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.600 to the dark cases dressing. 282 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.840 Them at once. We know she left the theater to 283 00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.399 night with the intention of singing. 284 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.159 I'm very much afraid there's the devil's work of what Watson? 285 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.480 Why on earth doesn't she answer? 286 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:11.519 Listen the cats inside her dressing room. Come on, Watson, 287 00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:14.679 lot with your shoulder to it. Come on, help me, 288 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.879 Come on, that's more. Come on now, what's there? 289 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:20.840 Fats cut? 290 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.159 She's unconscious, Watson, see what you can do for her. 291 00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:25.720 She must have tinked of the fight. Yes, some fiend 292 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:27.879 knowing her deadly fear of cats as lucks her in 293 00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.120 here with half a dozen nothing. 294 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:30.720 Shore, Shore on me Shore. 295 00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.919 Her eyes are opening, Hose, she's coming to see ner Varkese. 296 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.759 Her lips are moving. She's trying to speak. 297 00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:47.480 Sor tell me who did this to you? Hu, greats, heavens. 298 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.440 Her voice is gone. I've done many vicious crimes in 299 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.919 my lifetime, Watson, but to murder a voice, a voice 300 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.200 that was one of the treasures of the world, is 301 00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.399 as viol like killing as I've ever encountered. 302 00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:09.960 Doctor Watson will tell you the rest of his story 303 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.639 in just a few seconds. And right now would be 304 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.639 a wonderful time to try a glass of Petrie California 305 00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:20.039 Port in the evening after dinner. Well, anytime you're taking 306 00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:23.960 things easy is the perfect time for petre Port. Petre 307 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.120 Port is a rich red wine, the kind of wine 308 00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:29.679 you like to sip slowly so you won't miss a 309 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:33.159 drop of its truly fine flavor. I'm not kidding when 310 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.600 I say you owe it to yourself and your family 311 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:39.080 to try Petri Port. In fact, you should try pet 312 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:40.759 Report and Petrie Muscatel. 313 00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.360 So don't buy one, buy. 314 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.080 Two, buy both Port and Muscatel. 315 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.960 Just be sure you get Petrie, because Petree wine is 316 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.440 always good wine. 317 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.840 Dr Watson saw the great opera singer lost her voice 318 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.519 when someone locked in a room full of cats. 319 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.919 Huh, what did you and Sherlock Holmes do? 320 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.720 We took senior Valcazy back to her hotel at once 321 00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.559 and saw that she was properly taken care of. 322 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.159 How did the understudy, Lisa Bordoni make out? 323 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:09.879 Doctor, But tragedy that over took Clark Valcazy gave her 324 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:13.039 her great chance. She received a tremendous ovation of the 325 00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.440 close of the performance, and it seemed certain that another 326 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.039 star had been born. But let me tell you the 327 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.120 story just as it happened, mister Bartel. A little later 328 00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:23.279 that night, Holmes and I were once again standing on 329 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:24.960 the balcony of our hotel. 330 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.399 Watching a crowd of people that had assembled in the culture. 331 00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.120 You see that crowd, Watson yes, I suppose they've come 332 00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:33.559 here to proclaim the news starf. 333 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.279 Oh no, my dear fellow, that crowd isn't planning a celebration. 334 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.120 Look at them and listen to their angry murmuring her faith. 335 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:40.679 There's going to be trouble. I don't like to look 336 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:40.840 at it. 337 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.000 Hello, here comes Lisa Border and his brother Wally. What trump, sir, 338 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:46.639 mister Holmes, mister Holtes, You've got to do something. 339 00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:47.159 What's happened? 340 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.399 Well, somehow the story about the cats and law Valcasey's 341 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.759 dressing room is spread. The crowd outside are saying that 342 00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.320 my sister Lisa planned the whole thing so that she 343 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:55.639 could sing Valcazy's part in. 344 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:57.559 The opportunity with her sister now in a room at 345 00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:58.000 the hotel. 346 00:16:58.039 --> 00:16:59.799 Here, I managed to get her away from the crowd 347 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:02.440 and I locked her in. But then mob, I'm frightened. 348 00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:02.799 Ah. 349 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.720 Here comes the official representative of blond daughter and inspected 350 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:07.240 Bilin Waale. 351 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:08.079 Where is Lisa? 352 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:09.880 I was just telling mister Holmes that I'd locked her. 353 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.839 In a room and that crowd's in a dangerous mood. Beline, 354 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:13.960 what precautions you're taking? 355 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:16.279 I ever thrown a card down of police around the hotel. 356 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:19.119 The mob is getting out of her hand and Lisa 357 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.240 must be protected. As a matter of fact, the situation 358 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.920 is even worse than the crowd knows. I have just 359 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.119 been thought that Lava Case's twin sister, Bella died in the. 360 00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:31.160 Hospital tonight, that I had some murder charge. 361 00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:34.039 If the crowd knew about that, I tremble to think 362 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.759 what might happen? 363 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.599 Did you see that lab Casey's sister. 364 00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:41.960 Was a twin, Inspector sees in your homes? She was 365 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.880 a horror exact double in everything but voice. 366 00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.920 Indeed, how very illuminating. If you don't mind, I strik 367 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:49.720 have a few words in private with my friend doctor 368 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:50.880 Watson excuses for. 369 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:54.240 A momentes, what do you make of at homes? Why 370 00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:55.279 are you old? Chap Well? 371 00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:57.640 The American girl seemed really charming and all that, But 372 00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.160 she might have done it. It had to be either her, 373 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.079 her brother or the inspector himself. They all had a 374 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:05.440 motive for wanting lave bel CAZy to lose her voice. 375 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:08.640 But I must say I can't understand the motive behind 376 00:18:08.640 --> 00:18:09.319 the murder of her. 377 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:11.160 To insist, I think I can give you the answer 378 00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:13.599 to that question.
