Speaker 1: Pet Tree Wine brings you.
Speaker 2: Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of
Speaker 2: Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took time
Speaker 2: to bring you good wine, invites you to listen to
Speaker 2: doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with
Speaker 2: his old friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And I
Speaker 2: want to ask you something you know. Every now and then,
Speaker 2: I've told you about the good old American custom of
Speaker 2: serving a glass of sherry before dinner, particularly Petrie California sherry.
Speaker 2: And I wonder if you've tried that Petrie sherry. Really,
Speaker 2: a glass of Petrie sherry is the best beginning a
Speaker 2: good meal ever had. Petrie sherry is clear, fragrant, and
Speaker 2: truly delicious. It's a wonderful wine whose flavor is the
Speaker 2: essence of luscious sun ripened grapes. And Petrie makes two
Speaker 2: kinds of sherry wine, a regular sherry and Petree pale dry.
Speaker 1: If you don't know which you prefer, try them both.
Speaker 2: Don't buy one, buy two, but remember always buy Petrie
Speaker 2: because Petree wine is always good wine. Well, I'm sure
Speaker 2: doctor Watson is ready for us. Let's go in and
Speaker 2: join him, shall.
Speaker 3: We evening, mister.
Speaker 2: Qui dogs saying very pleased with themselves tonight did they
Speaker 2: have a good day's the three of us did?
Speaker 4: My boy the patio, I took.
Speaker 3: A seven iron and some old golf poles on the
Speaker 3: beach this afternoon and proved my game. I'm thinking the
Speaker 3: dogs had a great time chasing the golf poles. On
Speaker 3: the way home, the little rascals had a furious battle
Speaker 3: with an elderly Pelican, so the day was complete.
Speaker 2: I'll have to join you on one of your afternoons, Trollers,
Speaker 2: Doctor and the dog seem to have so much fun
Speaker 2: for we got your comfort, mister Bartell.
Speaker 4: Well drap your usual churn. I'll get on with tonight Sherlock.
Speaker 2: Holmes Adventure from the Hens who gave us last week.
Speaker 2: I guess the Frenchman played a prominent part in the story.
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed he did, mister Bartell.
Speaker 3: His name was France fir Leavilla. He was a detective
Speaker 3: of some notes in his own country the time my
Speaker 3: story begins, it was in eighteen hundred and eighty.
Speaker 4: Nine, to meet zech Navilla come.
Speaker 3: Over to London to discuss with Holmes the difficulties of
Speaker 3: translating some of his monographs into the French language. At
Speaker 3: this particular time, I was in the early days of
Speaker 3: my marriage, mister Bartell. Of this fact, combined with the
Speaker 3: busy factice, meant that I saw very little of my
Speaker 3: old friend.
Speaker 1: He must have missed you, Daker, you do well.
Speaker 3: Of course he'd admit the fact. But Herbert didn't get
Speaker 3: home with my story.
Speaker 4: One troubtless June afternoon, I found myself in the neighborhood
Speaker 4: of Baker Street, and I couldn't persist paying a visit
Speaker 4: to Holmes.
Speaker 3: Missus Hudson was out, but having retained my old letchke,
Speaker 3: I let myself in and mounted the familiar stairs. It
Speaker 3: gave me a strange feeling as I raised my hand
Speaker 3: to knock on what once had been my own living
Speaker 3: room door. An aaren, Hello, Oh, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 4: I know you.
Speaker 1: How very nice.
Speaker 4: It's great to see you at homes. I'm sorry I
Speaker 4: interrupted you. I didn't know that you had.
Speaker 1: Company now at all. My dear fellow were delighted. Aunt.
Speaker 5: This is a how you do chantchier. I wouldn't wish
Speaker 5: to meet the so charming doctor Watson. Holmes has told
Speaker 5: me a great deal about you.
Speaker 1: That suit she Watson expended old gained a little weight, haven't.
Speaker 4: You, Oh, there's a few pounds away.
Speaker 3: Don't you You sure that I'm not interrupting you in
Speaker 3: some important discussion?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, shut up.
Speaker 5: There we were having a good natured argument on the
Speaker 5: relative abilities of the French criminal compared to the English
Speaker 5: your support.
Speaker 1: Parts, Levi, I is convinced that the English criminal is
Speaker 1: a very dull dog.
Speaker 3: Indeed, well, we've met far from dull ones that time.
Speaker 5: I assure you, Monsieur Levia, Ah, the exceptions rather than
Speaker 5: the whole life here moshell lit and aunt Olivia. I
Speaker 5: believe me, dear friend, that I will yield to no
Speaker 5: one in my admiration of your knowledge and skill. That
Speaker 5: is why I wish I could persuade you to practice
Speaker 5: in Paris. Ah, there you would find opponents really worthy
Speaker 5: of your Still, what can happen to interest you in
Speaker 5: this land of grave frogs, boiled potatoes and pots of tea?
Speaker 1: You're you're not the flat number of insula I offense,
Speaker 1: my friend?
Speaker 4: Will you say the English criminal is dull?
Speaker 3: Perhaps if you were to read a published story of
Speaker 3: man called a Study in scarlet, you think differently. It
Speaker 3: tells a very exciting adventure.
Speaker 4: That Holmes and I head.
Speaker 1: I have read it, my friend.
Speaker 5: An extremely gripping story. But surely you will admit that
Speaker 5: the was essentially of a Melton.
Speaker 1: Ah, he's right, but he's perfect, a right, Jomy. What
Speaker 1: can I do to vindicate the dishonor of the London criminal?
Speaker 1: Let me see? Oh, yes, yes, of course, a copy
Speaker 1: of Today's Times. That's fine. I shall introduce you to
Speaker 1: a section known as the agony column. Now, oh, yes,
Speaker 1: here we are. This should convince you of the color
Speaker 1: and variety of English life. The agony column Mechan's most painful.
Speaker 1: What is it for.
Speaker 4: A personal columns?
Speaker 3: Lable to contain anything from a lover's frantic appeal to
Speaker 3: his lady.
Speaker 4: Love to a ransom note.
Speaker 1: In my profession, I've frequently found it an invaluable medium
Speaker 1: for contacting the underworld. Yes, now here we are, Yes, nothing, Jemmy,
Speaker 1: Oh dear, No, today's column seems rather uninspired. I'm afraid
Speaker 1: may I examine it?
Speaker 5: Of course, if the lady who helped my little boy
Speaker 5: across the road at the corner of Threadwell Street and
Speaker 5: Hyauburn last Wednesday at four, or we'll get in touch
Speaker 5: with Box eight four five. She will learn of something
Speaker 5: to her advantage that we can be more colorful than that.
Speaker 1: Emparies my friendness. I think we can do better than
Speaker 1: that too.
Speaker 4: Yeah, printer must have been half asleep, but he set
Speaker 4: up the type for this adverllisement.
Speaker 3: Will any gentlemen interested in discussing cryptography and cipher writing
Speaker 3: please communicate with box x ql six nine six.
Speaker 5: The time Why I failed to find this message anymore
Speaker 5: stelling than before?
Speaker 1: She didn't want to notice the execrable printing. Dunchem did
Speaker 1: I do?
Speaker 5: It is all mixed up the first world will It
Speaker 5: starts with the capital W and the capital I the
Speaker 5: second world, and he starts with a small A and
Speaker 5: then has a capital N and y. It is a
Speaker 5: shocking example of typogun.
Speaker 4: And when it a.
Speaker 1: Curtain of paper noted for its excellence in typesetting, man
Speaker 1: realizes that this is no mistake. This is underbeed their
Speaker 1: code message.
Speaker 5: Hawk Now, my friend, I defy even you to make
Speaker 5: a mystery out of the printer's negative Accept.
Speaker 1: Your challenge, my deal of beyond if you recall the
Speaker 1: Baconian bilateral cipher depends upon the use of two sizes
Speaker 1: of type. If we group the letters in units of five,
Speaker 1: the arrangements of small and capital letters within the groups
Speaker 1: should give us the message. Now, let's see two capitals
Speaker 1: followed by three small gives us the letter H, and
Speaker 1: then two capitals one small, two more that gives us EH.
Speaker 5: I still think you're trying to make an adventure out
Speaker 5: of a mere printing aims.
Speaker 1: No mere printing accident could sell readily fall into one
Speaker 1: of the great traditional ciphers. Now let's see this message
Speaker 1: read E help help Q two small QUI culta help,
Speaker 1: cultera l L two small and large elms help culta
Speaker 1: elms thirty is yes, pent help cultera elms pence help
Speaker 1: quiltera elms pend. What does that mean?
Speaker 3: Presumably a man named Quilta who lives at a house
Speaker 3: called the Elms in the village of Penge.
Speaker 4: Needs help ah.
Speaker 5: I see it now, a helpless victim help prisoner is
Speaker 5: more deserved this message as a as a harmless person,
Speaker 5: and restriction instructions that it be printed on this out form.
Speaker 5: He knows that the amateurs of cryptography to whom it
Speaker 5: is addressed will decipher this cultural help hewell.
Speaker 3: Monsieur Villa, you seem ready to grant the adventure can
Speaker 3: exist in London.
Speaker 1: After all, the advantage, my dear Watson, of a more
Speaker 1: mercurial temperament than the Englishman possessed well and beyond what
Speaker 1: about it? So we set off for Pens and rescue
Speaker 1: the junior ingenious mister Quilter from what about dire fate
Speaker 1: awaits him in the elms. I am all in patience,
Speaker 1: s spend it, Watson. I suppose you are too busy
Speaker 1: to join us. Too busy well, I mean your practice.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you have patience will.
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I have two further visits to make today,
Speaker 3: one to a pepri old miser who has gout, another
Speaker 3: to a wealthy society woman who has a due to
Speaker 3: attack of hat Hope Condria they call it, but the
Speaker 3: places from.
Speaker 4: The home both from I'm coming with your holmes if
Speaker 4: you want me, Barbro.
Speaker 1: Wasn't then grab your hat and coat. The game's a
Speaker 1: foot here you are, gents, the helms Pin. Nice afternoon
Speaker 1: for a drive, wasn't it? Fraid it'll cost you fifteen
Speaker 1: bod though there's a humbring for you. You can keep
Speaker 1: the change me.
Speaker 4: Thanks again now.
Speaker 1: Top of the evening to your gents.
Speaker 4: So this is the Elms. Eh quite a bit of
Speaker 4: land for such a.
Speaker 5: Modest neighborhood to call it the Elms seem remarkably new group.
Speaker 1: I cannot see an edm tree inside. So you see,
Speaker 1: Livia the English have for imagination.
Speaker 4: And you credit card? Are you just going to walk
Speaker 4: up to the front door and knock?
Speaker 1: Why not? The direct approach is often the most satisfactory. Oh,
Speaker 1: you disappoint me.
Speaker 5: I had hoped that perhaps you would adopt one of
Speaker 5: the disguises in which you have so adapt I am told, well,
Speaker 5: since it's unlikely with these people know me by sight,
Speaker 5: that's hardly necessary. Is however, I trust that this little
Speaker 5: problem may reward you with some colorful highlights before with row.
Speaker 4: No, it's got volver shots. They came from the house.
Speaker 1: Have you have too late? Mister? Couldn't guys be murdered?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: I think not. You will observe that the next door
Speaker 1: neighbor to the Elms was mowing his front lawn as
Speaker 1: we drove up. He is still engaged in the same occupation. Obviously,
Speaker 1: revolver shots attract little attention this way since.
Speaker 4: The mon dieu.
Speaker 5: You mean that violence in sudden death are not common,
Speaker 5: that they do not attractive at passing interns.
Speaker 1: No Ah, even the British are not as phlegmatic as that.
Speaker 4: Then what is the answer to those shots?
Speaker 1: Some member of this household is addicted to pistol practice.
Speaker 1: The fact that a shooting target is nailed to the
Speaker 1: back of that fence over there would further suppor the theory.
Speaker 4: That's rather ominous in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Well, hit me out the front door. Let's keep our
Speaker 1: wits about us anyway. Are you killing it one of
Speaker 1: the Doctor Watson know this stethoscope.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid I was prepared for sickness when I left
Speaker 4: the house today and not for crime.
Speaker 1: I tour my nams. How about you miss only a
Speaker 1: magnifying glass, I'm afraid, hardly a very lethal weapon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my friends and I were calling on this quitter.
Speaker 6: Oh who are you?
Speaker 1: My name is Sheelack Holmes, and these are my friends,
Speaker 1: doctor Watson and Monsieur Levier. Expect I don't know. We
Speaker 1: have read his advertisement in the Agony column of the
Speaker 1: Times today and came down here at once. Are you
Speaker 1: a relation of his.
Speaker 7: I'm his niece.
Speaker 6: My name is Donas Stavisham, coming, don't.
Speaker 4: You, miss Faversham?
Speaker 6: I suppose to, yes, doctor, Miss stavish Oh, we had
Speaker 6: three revolver shots as we were walking up the driveway.
Speaker 5: They he paved us quite a start, mademoiselle. We were
Speaker 5: afraid that we might have arrived at the time of tragedy.
Speaker 6: Indeed tragedy. My hobby is with bother shooting. I was
Speaker 6: doing some target practice in the back garden.
Speaker 1: You arrive shooting. Very interesting. I have found of myself
Speaker 1: that I'm something of a marksman myself.
Speaker 6: Oh really, perhaps we can have a match, won't.
Speaker 1: You sit down your challenge and treats me in establishing?
Speaker 1: But before I accepted, I should like to see mister
Speaker 1: Quitter well.
Speaker 6: Uncle George is paralyzed, you know, spend you any time
Speaker 6: in a quil chair. I'm not at all sure he'll
Speaker 6: see you.
Speaker 4: Well. At least you can ask him, can't you, Fabio.
Speaker 6: It is customer at this time of the day to
Speaker 6: take a little nap. Perhaps tomorrow he's still awake. Some
Speaker 6: men have come to see you, Uncle, salom me, gentlemen. Uncle,
Speaker 6: this is mister Shella Combs, doctor Watson and monsieur miss.
Speaker 1: Leia, Missy Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 5: Day took you long enough to decipher my message and
Speaker 5: get here, didn't it? Your brothers are much faster workers.
Speaker 1: Me. What makes you say that, mister Cutter received this
Speaker 1: telegram prior at eleven o'clock this morning? Really for yourself? Well,
Speaker 1: suggest you can sult my brother Sherlock and it's it's
Speaker 1: signed Microft Homes. Yes, mister Croton, my brother is a
Speaker 1: much faster worker. Or shall we say that he suffers
Speaker 1: from the unfortunate habit of early rising. He undoubtedly read
Speaker 1: the Agony column three hours before I did today.
Speaker 5: I don't know about that, but I've been expecting you
Speaker 5: all day. I imagine you know why I inserted that advertisement.
Speaker 6: Well, I had the.
Speaker 1: Impression that you were under some form of restraint, that
Speaker 1: if you were in need of a rescue party, As it.
Speaker 5: Were, rubbish, My advertisement was a piece of subtle bait.
Speaker 5: The only person that could decided the message would obviously
Speaker 5: be someone who knew the Baconian cipher.
Speaker 1: That a logical deductions to Pulta.
Speaker 5: You see, I'm convinced that any sensible man should be
Speaker 5: that the so called Shakespearean plays were written by Sir
Speaker 5: Francis Bacon, but I felt that he needed a clever
Speaker 5: man to prove the fact. I'm sure that anyone who
Speaker 5: was able to decipher my message was the man I needed.
Speaker 1: And what did you take, mister Holmes to do the job?
Speaker 1: I'm a rich man. Name your feet.
Speaker 4: You need to say that you inveigled mister Holmes down
Speaker 4: here just to do some research on the origin of
Speaker 4: Shakespeare's work.
Speaker 6: You needn't look so shocked, Docter Botton. My uncle is
Speaker 6: gofered to being a handsome thing.
Speaker 1: Well, what do your name? Is an interesting subject for research.
Speaker 1: I can side that ignacious Donnelly and others have proved
Speaker 1: almost gone out that William Shakespeare are strata and Aidan
Speaker 1: did not write the place. But I greatly doubt that
Speaker 1: Lord Bacon did. I made a vote my leisure in
Speaker 1: later years to some investigation on the subject. But in
Speaker 1: the Meanwhilenessir, and I'm afraid I'm much too busy to
Speaker 1: want to take such an assignment. Clease it up, show
Speaker 1: the gentlemen out. Darlis right.
Speaker 7: Too bad you had this long guy down here for nothing, Jeral.
Speaker 4: I quite agree on him.
Speaker 5: It would seemed to me that your uncle has a
Speaker 5: distinct talent for political joking, mademoiselle.
Speaker 6: Uncle uncle never made a joke in his life. Mister Holmes,
Speaker 6: now that you're here, perhaps you like to induls a
Speaker 6: little shooting map.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Miss Faversham. But done as I told your
Speaker 1: unclimb a busy man. Good evening to you, goodbye, gentlemen, Bye.
Speaker 3: Homes old follow you're you're losing your touch. You'd never
Speaker 3: made a blunder like this if I've still been with you.
Speaker 5: It is comforting for an aspiring detective like myself to
Speaker 5: know that the glatial occurrence is fallible.
Speaker 1: Then am I to assume that I must continue the
Speaker 1: case alone?
Speaker 4: Oh? You mean continue the case there is? There isn't one,
Speaker 4: so there's in no danger.
Speaker 1: He's in desperate danger. I'm only afraid I may be
Speaker 1: too late to say that what we have just spoken
Speaker 1: to the man? Oh no, did neither of you notice
Speaker 1: the traces of fresh alone on the boots of that
Speaker 1: supposedly paralyzed man. Gentlemen, I fear the agony column has
Speaker 1: led us to murder.
Speaker 2: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
Speaker 2: a second time enough for me to mention that any
Speaker 2: meal is a better meal when it's served with a
Speaker 2: Petrie dinner wine. If you're having chicken or fish, use
Speaker 2: Petri California So Turned. Petri So Turn is a subtle,
Speaker 2: delicately flavored white wine that looks and tastes like captured sunshine.
Speaker 2: If you're having a roast or chops, or any kind
Speaker 2: of meat or meat dish, then, by all means, sir,
Speaker 2: Petrie California Burgundy. Petri Burgundy is a hearty, full flavored
Speaker 2: red wine, one of the most delicious red wines.
Speaker 1: You ever poured from a bottle.
Speaker 2: When I get a bottle of each Petri Burgundy and
Speaker 2: Petri So Turned, then no matter what you have for dinner,
Speaker 2: you'll surely have the right wine, a Petri Wine.
Speaker 1: Well, doctor, why did you have to break off your
Speaker 1: story there?
Speaker 3: Well, I had to break it off some worms to Bartolo.
Speaker 3: That seemed to be the most exciting spot.
Speaker 1: It certainly was. I was convinced that the Great Show
Speaker 1: I Coms had been fooled for once. What happened next, well,
Speaker 1: but I need this to remark.
Speaker 4: We did not get into a cab and go back
Speaker 4: to London. But me pick up the story at the
Speaker 4: same place that I broke it off.
Speaker 1: As Holmes said, gentlemen, I felt the agony column has
Speaker 1: led us to murder.
Speaker 4: Murder.
Speaker 1: There was fresh earth on the soldier of his boots,
Speaker 1: you say, distinct traces proving that the man in the
Speaker 1: wheelchair was not paralyzed.
Speaker 5: That man, whoever he is, was impersonating Quilt to put
Speaker 5: us off the track, and their ill quilt only have
Speaker 5: been killed.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid, so let's stop here. Fra Amoma wait while
Speaker 1: we make our plans. Miss Edge will hide us from
Speaker 1: the house in case they're watching from the windows. Now,
Speaker 1: this isn't a hard picture to reconstruct. It undoubtedly is
Speaker 1: or was a paralyzed Baconian scholar named Qultter. He managed
Speaker 1: to smuggle out that ingenious tea for help, but Microft's
Speaker 1: unfortunate telegram gave the game away.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, I see it now, And the people in
Speaker 5: there holding prisoner forced him to reveal what he has done.
Speaker 4: What they may have done to him. Heaven alone knows.
Speaker 1: One of the criminals, guessing from the telegram that I
Speaker 1: might appear on the case posed as the crippled culta.
Speaker 1: What's our next move? But that's singularly unattracted young ladies
Speaker 1: killed Above. We misseearch the grounds as unobtrusively as we can.
Speaker 4: That's the girls.
Speaker 1: For what I can answer this question? Shout up. We
Speaker 1: searched for signs of the freshly s termed earth of
Speaker 1: a grave.
Speaker 3: Well we didn't find any traces in the poor devil's corpse,
Speaker 3: Thank Heaven.
Speaker 1: No a great disappointment. Cheering you are very blood burst
Speaker 1: into the beyond. Hello, May we all thoughtout trimming the
Speaker 1: hedge over there? The gardener to a chapter may be
Speaker 1: able to give us some information. Good eating to you,
Speaker 1: eaving you gentlemen. You we fomis quicker that I do,
Speaker 1: her that I do. If I worked, I've seldom seen
Speaker 1: a better kept up. Thank you, sir. I do pride
Speaker 1: myself in my word. Where if you can help me,
Speaker 1: you can't do if I can. So. Did you see
Speaker 1: a telegraph by deliver a message here this morning?
Speaker 4: That day?
Speaker 1: Did sir? The boy came here about ten o'clock this morning?
Speaker 1: I always keep in the front edge of the time,
Speaker 1: and you've been working here ever since. Yes, sir, brought
Speaker 1: my lunch with me today and ate it in the garden.
Speaker 1: Has anyone entered or left the house since that telegram
Speaker 1: was delivered? Nos her, no one except yourself. I see,
Speaker 1: I see.
Speaker 5: I suppose you occasionally run errands, mister guitter, not much
Speaker 5: these days, sir. The poor old gentleman keeps his chair
Speaker 5: in the house pretty much all the times.
Speaker 6: Here.
Speaker 1: I did run a message for him yesterday. Oh where
Speaker 1: to well, sir? I was prooling the rose bushes under
Speaker 1: his study windows when the window opens and his hand
Speaker 1: comes out with a message. He told me to take
Speaker 1: it to the village office of the Times, and to
Speaker 1: tell him to print it just the way it was.
Speaker 1: He looked kind of worried when he gave me the message,
Speaker 1: and he he whispered to me, just as if he
Speaker 1: was afraid in his own house. I'm much obliged to you.
Speaker 1: He has five shillings for your trouble. Oh thank you, sir, much.
Speaker 4: Advice to you.
Speaker 1: I'm sure good evening, Good evening to you, gentlemen.
Speaker 4: So that's how the.
Speaker 5: Message was smuggled out, And no one has come to
Speaker 5: the house or left it since that telegram was.
Speaker 1: A little close. Of all, his body must still be
Speaker 1: inside that house. We are going to search the house
Speaker 1: yes we are, but we're not armed.
Speaker 4: Do they sit there? They probably won't even let.
Speaker 1: Us in, as they will. We have an infallible key
Speaker 1: to entry a woman's vanity. Come on, oh so you
Speaker 1: came there.
Speaker 6: I thought you wouldn't be able to resist my challenge
Speaker 6: to a crystold establish him.
Speaker 1: We had difficulty in finding a cab and decided to
Speaker 1: take a train back to London. Nows Wait, so I well,
Speaker 1: I thought i'd accept your challenge.
Speaker 6: Come in, we'll go into the back garden. Thank you,
Speaker 6: don't talk loudly. I think uncle's asleep in the next room.
Speaker 1: Here, all right, uncle this way, gentlemen.
Speaker 4: If your uncle wants to sleep, he was a punished Oh.
Speaker 7: Well he's used to that doctor. Here we are. This
Speaker 7: is the fifty yard range. Mister Holmes, three shots, bet
Speaker 7: advocate scr wins. I'm stillard a bit.
Speaker 1: You name the stake, name takes Miss Favershaman. Certainly you
Speaker 1: take the first three shots.
Speaker 6: Well, and it's just checked that it's loaded.
Speaker 7: Yes, six bullets. All right, here I go, brother, Miss
Speaker 7: Fabisham and twiners.
Speaker 1: I can do better.
Speaker 4: You'll turn the tones.
Speaker 6: Jarres, Oh these man, friend of mine, I'll introduce you
Speaker 6: a minute, Jeffrey, but a bit of a letch at
Speaker 6: the moment you're turning to him.
Speaker 1: Hey, Barba, please here you are. Thank you you you're
Speaker 1: sure you know how to handle it with Albo quite sure? Thanks?
Speaker 4: And why are you pointing it at me?
Speaker 1: Because I want you to raise your hands above your head?
Speaker 1: You too, whatever your name is, Doris, who are these men?
Speaker 1: Put up your hands. I shan't hesitate to shoot. I
Speaker 1: assure you come on, I said, what in heaven names
Speaker 1: you think you're up to? Finding out what became of
Speaker 1: the real mister Quilt? Search the man? What's here? Go
Speaker 1: to the house? Were you in searching?
Speaker 3: Yes, but of course an eldest man had a bulb.
Speaker 1: On his hip keeping covered with it. Now that who
Speaker 1: are you? From your resemblance to the men in the
Speaker 1: wheelchair that we saw earlier, I should say that you're
Speaker 1: a number of the same family.
Speaker 6: We're both relatives and mister Quilts.
Speaker 4: That's right.
Speaker 1: My name is Davis On from the Australian branch of
Speaker 1: the realities. Yes, and Dougtless who stood to inherit his
Speaker 1: estate in the event of Culta's death. You moved in
Speaker 1: on this defenseless old man terrorized him and lived off
Speaker 1: him and finally found it necessary to destroy him.
Speaker 6: You're talking absolutely, he's.
Speaker 4: Showing the truth and you know it. I can tell
Speaker 4: by your.
Speaker 1: Expressions or bagging of the house further. You'll come on
Speaker 1: and keep your hands raised, all right, that's it. Come
Speaker 1: on either way into the study and then posing as
Speaker 1: mister Cutter is still there. We heard him call out
Speaker 1: as we came him.
Speaker 4: Yes, we might as well confront the three of them together.
Speaker 4: He's still seated in the chair. He seems to be asleep.
Speaker 1: Here. Did you find anything another trace of the missing men?
Speaker 1: Miss arms there is? What did you do with mister Quilter?
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything with him. He's a good line
Speaker 1: to ask.
Speaker 4: We know that that man's an impostor.
Speaker 1: This is a fantastic situation. Nobody has left this house
Speaker 1: since the telegram arrived, and nobody has come to it
Speaker 1: and get mister Quilter is Spanish?
Speaker 4: Lord? How when you sleep through all this talk you
Speaker 4: think you've been drugged?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are idiots. You were unquestionably the most promising
Speaker 1: detective in France, and some people have been kinder not
Speaker 1: to grunt me a similar status in England's. And yet
Speaker 1: my old friend Watson has just solved the case.
Speaker 4: Oh nothing, too happy to well solved it.
Speaker 1: How listen to the breathing of that man in a chair.
Speaker 1: He's been drugged. There sets the real mister Quilt. It
Speaker 1: persecuted victim who sent her cipher message for help. The
Speaker 1: man we spoke too earlier was you, mister Davies, impersonating
Speaker 1: Quilt and you'd receive this. You took up your disguise,
Speaker 1: adopted an Australian accent and then hid your drug victim
Speaker 1: by placing him in his own wheelchair, knowing that would
Speaker 1: be the last place we look for him, and they
Speaker 1: would have kept him here until we had gone, and
Speaker 1: then murdered him.
Speaker 4: What a devilish plot.
Speaker 1: Well, what have you got to say to yourselves?
Speaker 7: A Jetty's idea love mine. I didn't have anything to
Speaker 7: do with it.
Speaker 4: What's a joy? Lie? You were in this as much
Speaker 4: as I.
Speaker 1: Oh this is splendid. So this is splendid. Please continue
Speaker 1: the argument. It'll make interest evidence in court.
Speaker 7: You can't take I said you court.
Speaker 1: Of course you can't. Watch the charge quote is still
Speaker 1: alive with me. When mister Cutter revives under doctor Watson's administrations.
Speaker 1: You will be charged, I have no doubt with attempted murder, abductions, igstration, juriss,
Speaker 1: and probably several other accounts. Mister Bean, if you will
Speaker 1: find us at cab, you'll take these miscreants to Scrutsland's yard.
Speaker 1: Our work is done well, doctor. That was a fine story. Eric,
Speaker 1: what are you fidgeting for?
Speaker 4: We I'm expecting your guest. I thought I heard him
Speaker 4: yourself that there's a front door.
Speaker 1: I guess you're being as mysterious as mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: You see I ah, come in talk to Watson. How
Speaker 4: are you all rested?
Speaker 3: Gregod, it's great to see you again, mister meet my friend.
Speaker 4: Mister Gregory hood.
Speaker 1: Not the Gregory hood, mister Bartell. I like the way
Speaker 1: you say that.
Speaker 4: Yes, mister Butell, this is the Gregory hood.
Speaker 1: Mister Bartell. If you listen to doctor Watson, he'll lead
Speaker 1: you to believe I'm much more important than I am.
Speaker 1: I'm quite a simple person. Really. I'm kind to dogs,
Speaker 1: just love little children, and always help old ladies cross
Speaker 1: the street. I also know how to make a fire
Speaker 1: by rubbing two sticks together.
Speaker 4: It is unlike my old friend Holmes.
Speaker 3: You pretend to over a little about criminals and crime,
Speaker 3: and yet you're one of America's outstanding criminologists.
Speaker 1: So I've heard a hobby, mister Bartell, A hobby. My
Speaker 1: real business is importing headquarters San Francisco. I need any
Speaker 1: old masters. Perhaps I can sell you a nice piece
Speaker 1: of jade, or which you'd rather have a bit of
Speaker 1: old Balinese culty. Come a wait a minute, this is
Speaker 1: all a little too fast for you.
Speaker 4: Will learn that Gregory is a little too fast for everybody.
Speaker 3: But mister Bartell, I'm sure you'll get to know mister
Speaker 3: Hood a good eel better. You See, as I've told you,
Speaker 3: I've always wanted to take a trip back to England,
Speaker 3: and now I have a chance to do so.
Speaker 1: But Doctor, when I see you again, what about story? Oh?
Speaker 4: I shall be back in the fall.
Speaker 3: But meanwhile, I've asked mister Gregory Hood to get together
Speaker 3: with you at this time every week and tell you.
Speaker 1: Some of his experience, which of course makes me feel
Speaker 1: very important.
Speaker 3: Mister Hood, as you know, has been involved in many
Speaker 3: famous cases dealing in crime.
Speaker 4: His important business.
Speaker 3: And his hearty criminology at a strange combination. I learned
Speaker 3: that he keeps a diary of these cases, and it's
Speaker 3: a fascinating book, a casebook of gregory Hood.

Speaker 2: certainly is. Thank you well, then I can tell all
