Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, how about the adventure of the genuine Guineria.
Speaker 2: Well, the British Ambassador of France and Human Assay and
Speaker 2: invited Holmes and myself to a reception at the Embassy
Speaker 2: in Palace in order to thank us both successfully concluding
Speaker 2: the rather delicate affair of mister Edwards. The ball was
Speaker 2: a blaze of light. A guest the dancing by Joe Holmes.
Speaker 2: You ever seen anyone more attractive than our host's wife,
Speaker 2: I must say? The lady asked, says, well, it's a
Speaker 2: final sight of English students sometimes once in I ended
Speaker 2: with directness of your mind? What do you mean when
Speaker 2: you look at a beautiful woman you will see only beauty?
Speaker 2: What on earth would you expect me to say? In
Speaker 2: the case of Lady Ashley, my dear fellow, I notice
Speaker 2: her elderly husband, her many the lamps, admirers, and I
Speaker 2: think what a motive for murder? Oh really, Homes, I talked,
Speaker 2: our guests of honor is enjoying himself very much. Indeed,
Speaker 2: Lady Ahlen and mister Holmes. Dr Watson, may I introduce
Speaker 2: a very dear friend, Monsieur Jacques Merryville, who has known
Speaker 2: me more years than I can't remember.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think I.
Speaker 2: Can claim to be Lady Ashley's most devotic cavalier, having
Speaker 2: first made her acquaintance when she was just over two
Speaker 2: hours old. He wept bitterly the moment she show It's
Speaker 2: what I've been trying to make up to him for
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. During the time we're in Paris, mister Mediical,
Speaker 2: I've been promising myself the pleasure the visit to your
Speaker 2: famous music shock issued the honor Missie Hows. I've heard,
Speaker 2: of course, that you play the violin merely as the
Speaker 2: verious cemeter. Incidantly, I'm looking forward equally to hearing Monsieur
Speaker 2: Drinkle play this evening Lady. Actually, I was unfortunately out
Speaker 2: of London during the only recital he gave this season.
Speaker 2: He's a great artist. Wes just come from one of
Speaker 2: those little countries down the right hand corner of the map,
Speaker 2: and I've always heard the follow bit of the bumber.
Speaker 2: You will have an opportunity to judge at once. Watson,
Speaker 2: our hostess approaching with a gentleman in question in tow
Speaker 2: so you are deter Drenko has been asking to meet you,
Speaker 2: Dear Rnker mister Holmes, docter on you, but if you'll
Speaker 2: excuse me, I must see you our other gifts until
Speaker 2: later comes doctor and doctor Watson, and I are looking
Speaker 2: forward to hearing you playing, mister Drenko, I always enjoy
Speaker 2: an appreciative audience. Tell me, mister Holmes, might I speak
Speaker 2: to you alone for a moment. Come along, mataver you
Speaker 2: promise me your opinion on that eighty three campaign. No,
Speaker 2: it's a sum business. But well, mister Dancine, I said alone,
Speaker 2: mister Holmes, I have no secrets from doctor Watson. Very well. Well,
Speaker 2: it so happens that I find myself in a slight
Speaker 2: to predictament. I thought that the all your experience, you
Speaker 2: might advise me as a social favor. Mister Drencone Brandy,
Speaker 2: if of course, you would like to come to see
Speaker 2: at my hotel tomorrow and bring your violin to entertain
Speaker 2: my guest, I thank your partner. Oh I understand, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2: We professionals must each respect the other. Smiths, he investrator.
Speaker 2: It would be preferable, so I told you what sort
Speaker 2: of hell you were. Nevertheless, mister Holmes, I still ask
Speaker 2: for your advice, and I will expect to tell the
Speaker 2: customer fee. You see, I find myself a trifle involved
Speaker 2: to only a harmless lolirtation, of course, but I did
Speaker 2: write one or two in the street letters to one
Speaker 2: of the girls at Maxims, and now the greedy little
Speaker 2: thing threatens blackmail. Hardly an unusual situation, as you think
Speaker 2: of for myself or my reputation. I do not care,
Speaker 2: you understand. An artist is an artist. But there is
Speaker 2: my wife the home. I must think of her naturally.
Speaker 2: If you've heard travel lay, don't you man? So you
Speaker 2: can see that there might be unpleasant results, if foodful.
Speaker 2: But to Bruto of Maxims, you know we're not an
Speaker 2: acquainted young person home from my rather brief acquaintance with her,
Speaker 2: I think the matter made a settled rather simply. Ah well,
Speaker 2: I should be happiest. Who will have the affair? Ladies
Speaker 2: and gentlemen, may I have your attentions? Please the dear drender.
Speaker 2: We're all very happy to welcome here this evening. You will
Speaker 2: now give us the pleasure of his incomfortable music. You
Speaker 2: are gentlemen of the said right here, Oh fad, I say,
Speaker 2: oh you guys, that girl were just fast. So I'm
Speaker 2: wearing just those little thing quite. I also noticed, Watson,
Speaker 2: that backstage at Maxim seems to be one place where
Speaker 2: you not only see, but also observe very closely. Oh,
Speaker 2: I know, we know, good is.
Speaker 4: I have not expected to see you in that cute
Speaker 4: sits is doctor Watson again so soon?
Speaker 2: But for at this time it is pleasure, not disneys
Speaker 2: through rule. It was only because I thought the gentleman
Speaker 2: we have agreed to refer to as mister Edwards was
Speaker 2: at least as comfortable as you, that I persuaded the
Speaker 2: French police not to prosecute you in that matter of
Speaker 2: his mother's jewels. No, but with your homes that it
Speaker 2: can't matter.
Speaker 4: We have settled it, have we none?
Speaker 2: The charge is still offending, mademoiselle, and that a word
Speaker 2: from me could be followed up. Why should you? I
Speaker 2: also happen to know that the mass Soviet Embassy is
Speaker 2: most curious regarding the attraction which brings Prince Dannilo so
Speaker 2: frequently to Paris. That also does not concern me at
Speaker 2: the moment, assuming, of course, that you will return at
Speaker 2: once all the letters that were written to you by
Speaker 2: as your drinko, and that you cease from molesting him anymore.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I see, well, is mit your homes? Since
Speaker 2: you have putty to convencing me, I am rather tired
Speaker 2: of listening to hisself when he played violin. Mister Drancon,
Speaker 2: may have you let us back? Heah, thank you, mademoiselle,
Speaker 2: I knew you were a sensible girl. Good night, and
Speaker 2: now was annow for a good night's rest. And in
Speaker 2: the morning we can report to mister Drinko the satisfactor
Speaker 2: resolution of what was perhaps our sympest. But if you
Speaker 2: charge him and set free homes, I still say that
Speaker 2: that follows a bounder. Good morning. I think this said
Speaker 2: Drinker is expecting us, mister Holmes and doctor Watson. What's
Speaker 2: the number of his room? Please send the message to
Speaker 2: the police. Oh missus, who's mister medical? What's the matter? Drinkle?
Speaker 2: We run awow to see him? They killed himself? What
Speaker 2: good have some miracle? Check us up to his.
Speaker 5: Room and the man's been dead for more than half
Speaker 5: an hour?
Speaker 2: Past to an hour, sir, I see merivale. Would you
Speaker 2: please ask that chap we passed the one who was
Speaker 2: painting the hall to step in here for a moment.
Speaker 2: But it's good curious, I wonder what could have been
Speaker 2: Branco's motive in committing suicide. Here is a pensive A yes,
Speaker 2: tell me have you been working there all morning? M
Speaker 2: hm oh blow sue since a uk for over two hours?
Speaker 2: In other words, and were you working constantly in sight
Speaker 2: of this door?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 2: Mercieu.
Speaker 4: I heard the entryman in the air practicing the violin
Speaker 4: foy while he stopped almost than hour.
Speaker 2: What's the time is as just about what I thought?
Speaker 2: And you saw no one enter or leave this room
Speaker 2: during the entire time?
Speaker 4: No one, oh, except five minutes ago. This gentleman went
Speaker 4: into the room a few seconds later came running out,
Speaker 4: calling both police.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Your statement has been very clear. You may
Speaker 2: go now, but better not leave a hotel. No doubt
Speaker 2: the police will want to question you. Yeah, they have
Speaker 2: never add a shock in my life. Was at Holmes.
Speaker 2: I came up to deliver a new violin the drink
Speaker 2: or hit ordered and when I opened the floor and
Speaker 2: show him lying there with his fixel twisted it up
Speaker 2: in Yes, the common appearance of cyanide poisoning not very pretty,
Speaker 2: unadmit you will note the characteristic odor of bitter almonds
Speaker 2: wants to list indeed, and here's the empty bottle. Quite
Speaker 2: the poison label on it removes any possibility of accidents.
Speaker 2: Nobody could post have got out for the window to
Speaker 2: share a drop of four stories the street. Look at
Speaker 2: your homes. This stone piece of paper I found it
Speaker 2: here at the desk. It's your suicide notice, evidently written
Speaker 2: under the stress of considerable emotion. To judge from the writing, hmm,
Speaker 2: it is intolerable. I utterly refuse to durre it any longer.
Speaker 2: Signed behind drink It's is I'm writing, mister Hones, I
Speaker 2: swear to it. Yes, unquestionably the perfect setting for suicide,
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.
Speaker 4: Ah, where miss, pleasure to meet you again, even under
Speaker 4: such an unfortunate circumstances.
Speaker 2: How are you inspected to see you again, my dear fellow,
Speaker 2: than you do? Answer Watson, And I've been carrying on
Speaker 2: for you until your arrival.
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you?
Speaker 2: And may I eat your brains to ask what reveler
Speaker 2: Marigo here discovered the body only a few minutes ago
Speaker 2: when he arrived to deliver violin. Drinker had ordered the painter,
Speaker 2: you'll find out in the hall has had the room
Speaker 2: under observation all morning, and will assure you that no
Speaker 2: one else entered or left. It fellows up per you
Speaker 2: well now before set the time of death pretty accurately.
Speaker 2: Here's his suicide notes. Inspector in the praiser con said,
Speaker 2: you would rather an open and shut table alway, dotty?
Speaker 2: What's in a hard working office? Select make sense?
Speaker 4: Weakens yet sense of any mistake.
Speaker 2: Here's a volume the drink I was practicing on. Let
Speaker 2: me see it. Watsn't odd, very odd? Indeed, you mean odd.
Speaker 4: That a drinko should be practicing the violine and you'll
Speaker 4: just avoid it.
Speaker 2: He says, no, Inspector, that fact by itself would merely
Speaker 2: bit singular. But listen to the violin on which he
Speaker 2: was practicing. It sounds all rud to me.
Speaker 4: I confess that I find no mystery a man playing
Speaker 4: is violine?
Speaker 2: Just avoid? If he says, perhaps, Inspector, you may then
Speaker 2: be able to explain why a world famous violinist like
Speaker 2: Drenko should do his practicing on a violin that is
Speaker 2: most unmistakably out of tune. How should I know what
Speaker 2: the man would do? Just this void I means to
Speaker 2: be size suicide. This isn't suicide, Inspector. This is murder men.
Speaker 1: Once you get bald, there's nothing you can do about it.
Speaker 1: Science tells us it's impossible to grow hair on bald heads.
Speaker 2: But you can make the most.
Speaker 1: Of the hair you've got, And let me tell you
Speaker 1: there's nothing better than Cremmel hair tonic to do it.
Speaker 2: In the first place.
Speaker 1: Kremmeel does a marvelous job of hair grooming. It keeps
Speaker 1: every lock neatly in place, yet never looks greasy or sticky.
Speaker 1: Cremmel contains very special hair grooming ingredients, the like of
Speaker 1: which have never been duplicated in any other hair tonic.
Speaker 1: But Cremmel does lots more than just keep hair in place.
Speaker 1: A massage with Kremmeel helps stimulate circulation of the blood
Speaker 1: in the surface of a scalp. Your scalp feels so clean,
Speaker 1: so alive, so invigorated. Remember, Kremwel actually helps condition the
Speaker 1: hair in that it leaves of feeding.
Speaker 2: So much softer and more pliable.
Speaker 1: It also has a grand lubricating effect on a dry scalp. Still, remember, men,
Speaker 1: make them most of the hair you've got. Use Cramel
Speaker 1: hair tonic daily, k R E. M. L. Crammel hair Tonic,
Speaker 1: and now doctor Watson. What happened in that hotel room
Speaker 1: when shell Ot Holmes told them Spector Bernard that drank
Speaker 1: all the violinists had been murdered and had not committed
Speaker 1: to you at all.
Speaker 2: That's such a Bernard was a surprise. The matter of fact,
Speaker 2: it seems to me that it was a bit fussing
Speaker 2: here about this.
Speaker 4: But miss your Olds, you cannot find the face of
Speaker 4: all the evidence.
Speaker 2: We see the daw as the.
Speaker 4: Bottle of poison. Clenty labels these suicide notes un questionably
Speaker 4: in his own and writing, doctor Watson's medical evidence that
Speaker 4: the man had been dead at least an hour, and
Speaker 4: the final compilations of the man painting in the oil.
Speaker 4: Who tells us that no one entered or left this
Speaker 4: rule and say a few minutes ago, and against all
Speaker 4: history troubles?
Speaker 2: What have you to offer a c Orlane that is
Speaker 2: out of June. Nevertheless, inspectators, but trugt of the entire
Speaker 2: case at homes, How can you tell what a follow
Speaker 2: like Gunko would have done? I can assure you, Watson,
Speaker 2: that he would have done almost anything in the world
Speaker 2: except practice on this violin. No inspector, this was murder.
Speaker 2: I'll take my reputation on him, and he's only your repetition,
Speaker 2: Miss your ms that makes me editate at part. Give
Speaker 2: me twenty four hours in which to establish how this
Speaker 2: murder was done and who did it? Since he gives you,
Speaker 2: ask me your own sway. Thank you, Come Watson, we
Speaker 2: have some busy hours ahead of us. Good day, gentlemen,
Speaker 2: were we often know. I'm such a hi British Embassies
Speaker 2: the Embassy. While you evidently failed to notice during last
Speaker 2: night's reception that Lady Ashley left us very abruptly the
Speaker 2: moment Drenko joined our party. Her manners were inverted on rudeness,
Speaker 2: and that's so unlikely to actually that. I feel that
Speaker 2: an inquiry and that quarter made their interesting fruit. May
Speaker 2: I ask mister Holmes a purpose behind this unexpected wizard
Speaker 2: in just a moment, Sir Hubert, I'd like to have
Speaker 2: Lady Ashley present, and I my maid said, you wanted
Speaker 2: to say why, mister Holmes. Doctor Watson, I didn't know
Speaker 2: you were here. I'm afraid our visit concerns a professional matter.
Speaker 2: Lady Ashley. You see, Doctor Watson and I have just
Speaker 2: come from the room of the late Monsieur Drinkle, the
Speaker 2: late if you drink I don't understand Drinko has been murdered.
Speaker 2: Lady Ashley Q got some matter since knowing that to face,
Speaker 2: you just bring for your wife's maid you, miss, Yes,
Speaker 2: I guess her. I must stay home. It brought the
Speaker 2: news rather brutless. She took it with us nonsense, Watson.
Speaker 2: What caused her to faint was relief. That was my object.
Speaker 2: I have to find out what her reaction would be.
Speaker 1: Ill, Miss you neverly helped Lady Ashley act her.
Speaker 2: Room doesn't keep her quiet. Reason A couple of hot
Speaker 2: tea will do no harm when she would consul And now, gentlemen,
Speaker 2: it will excuse me. I am sorry, Sir Hubert, but
Speaker 2: I must ask you to remain here with us for
Speaker 2: a few moments, right. I don't understand, Sir Hubert. Lady
Speaker 2: Ashley's reaction to the news of Drenko's death was a
Speaker 2: good deal more pronounced than might be expected in the circumstances.
Speaker 2: I haven't the faintest idea of what you're trying to insinuate.
Speaker 2: I insinuate nothing. I merely state facts. Would you prefer
Speaker 2: that I question her? Or will you tell me what
Speaker 2: life behind all this?
Speaker 1: They well, mister Hilmes, that I should like to spur
Speaker 1: my wife as much as possible.
Speaker 2: I only interested in any light that she might be
Speaker 2: able to shed on the matter. Cynthia is a very
Speaker 2: young and very beautiful woman. Before we were married, she had, well,
Speaker 2: how should I put it there, fallen under the spell
Speaker 2: of this man and drank her. But I have asked
Speaker 2: her no questions. But I know that he continued to
Speaker 2: have some strange hold over her. I had the impression
Speaker 2: that she hated seeing him, and that he was forcing
Speaker 2: his presence on her on those occasions when he came
Speaker 2: as a guest in my house. I still don't believe
Speaker 2: anyone killed the fellow, but if someone did, it sounds
Speaker 2: like a good ridden. Unfortunately, Watson, we are not concerned
Speaker 2: with the equities of the murder, but with its solutions.
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir Hubert, you've been extremely helpful. Well, justice
Speaker 2: must be done, mister Films. But if ever I wish
Speaker 2: that your great powers might fail, it is now. I
Speaker 2: have no hesitation whatsoever in saying that I am infinitely
Speaker 2: grateful to the murder of that fine drinker.
Speaker 3: Oh the Holmes, Will you join me in a comtee?
Speaker 2: No to e. Thanks, I'm rather trusting to the inspiration
Speaker 2: of music to assist me in resolving some of the
Speaker 2: more puzzling features of this case. At least you can't
Speaker 2: complain of a scarcely suspect. First of all, Sir Hubert
Speaker 2: p Obviously after the lady ashid great cut home? What's
Speaker 2: the matter the two house? No? But have you thought
Speaker 2: of the possibility that food who might have killed drinker?
Speaker 2: A purse? You might have been mad in love with?
Speaker 2: The possibility had occurred to me, but I discarded it.
Speaker 2: Oh discarded it? Hi, Jill, Look at this glass here
Speaker 2: on the table. Its positive vibrating from that high note.
Speaker 2: Not uncommon phenomenon, as you must know, certain objects vibrating
Speaker 2: harmony with certain notes. That'sn't get your quote. We promised
Speaker 2: to pay a visit to marry those shop. I think
Speaker 2: this would be an ideal time to discharge that obligation.
Speaker 2: Who ginger little place? I must say, found it eighteenth
Speaker 2: treader one, This is I haven't wrshed the windows since,
Speaker 2: but full of priceless treasures, as Marlowe said, infinite riches
Speaker 2: in the little room. I say, where's Maryvale? I don't
Speaker 2: like looks of that customer over there, while will that
Speaker 2: pushy black beard and theatrical cloak. He looks like we're
Speaker 2: a little pondering for us what you call him? Nahlist,
Speaker 2: you must remember what's in the music appeals to oddly
Speaker 2: assaulted people. Professor Mariachi, after all, knows no fear in
Speaker 2: his interpretation of certain of the bark humans. Where is Holland,
Speaker 2: doctor wat or is he says a gentleminity, It's no
Speaker 2: wonder the fame of your sharp as world wide, mister Merrival,
Speaker 2: I see you have some remarkable and remarkable instruments. You'll
Speaker 2: say about you the first of a lifetime of devotion
Speaker 2: to the violin. I must confess with your holds. It
Speaker 2: detains me every time I say one of my treasures,
Speaker 2: I can well believe it. And if you've made me
Speaker 2: further progress to the solution of drinkers dead, I feel
Speaker 2: safe in saying that my investigation has gleaned a few
Speaker 2: personal facts, with it being discreet for me to askata
Speaker 2: not at all. You yourself were present when I made
Speaker 2: the curious discovery regarding Dranko's violin being out of tune,
Speaker 2: and only a short time ago while I happened to
Speaker 2: be playing my violin. Doctor Watson made a remark which
Speaker 2: threw further light on the case, don't you Watson? Yes,
Speaker 2: of course I don't know what's kind of a rival,
Speaker 2: and you possess what she loans. But I'm sure you'll
Speaker 2: appreciate one magnificent example that i'd like you to try.
Speaker 2: If one is the equal lettery strade, i'd never see.
Speaker 2: I am afraid it'll be far beyond the reach of
Speaker 2: my person, right you at least or yourself the pleasure,
Speaker 2: the great experience of playing here it is, isn't it beautiful? Exquisite?
Speaker 2: If the tones as mellow as that barney, or what
Speaker 2: it's cost, why don't you take it into my private
Speaker 2: office in drive no one with this salk you, thank you.
Speaker 2: I've never had the good fortune to chest at one
Speaker 2: ear doctor, watching when missus Holmes is amusing himself. Perhaps
Speaker 2: you'll be interested in some of these books we worses.
Speaker 2: Is falser thing war to it than that there is
Speaker 2: only one family in all Italy, doctor Watson, the possesses
Speaker 2: the secret of making me a ball like this one.
Speaker 2: It's all very fascinating, mister Marrow. Robert Holmes must have
Speaker 2: made up his mind if you like said civil by
Speaker 2: Now I know he wants to ask you some questions,
Speaker 2: and I felt good. Heavens run design on a flaw.
Speaker 2: You have to pay it, Harms. I'm afraid he's kid
Speaker 2: quick docter watching over the belief and give you a
Speaker 2: chance to find a bottle of Sinai by my side.
Speaker 2: Oh no, Watson, stay here and listen to Merivale confess
Speaker 2: how he murdered Drinko dur in life. No thanks to you.
Speaker 2: I took the trouble to the sector violin you gave
Speaker 2: me and then played one of the others here to
Speaker 2: lure you in. He kill drunk over the suicide elementary,
Speaker 2: My dear Watson, I would hesitate gest that it was
Speaker 2: torn from the end of a letter to Merivale, referring
Speaker 2: to an unsatisfactory instrument which was intolerable and which she
Speaker 2: couldn't endure any one. Harms Man of Roux was nowhere
Speaker 2: near Dranko when he died. Marivo had left a very
Speaker 2: oddly constructed violin with Drinko, presumably last night, knowing that
Speaker 2: it was Drinko's heavy to practice each morning from eight
Speaker 2: till ten inside the violin. In place of a sound bar,
Speaker 2: Marivo had put a thin glass vial containing cyanogen, the
Speaker 2: lethal gas, which is identical in odor and effects with
Speaker 2: the Sinai good. When Drinko reached the proper high note,
Speaker 2: the extremely thin glass vow cracked under the impact of
Speaker 2: the sympathetic vibrations, releasing the deadly fumes through the efoes
Speaker 2: in the violin of violin that Marivo was delivering to Dranko.
Speaker 2: When he discovered the cor precisely Watson, he nearly left
Speaker 2: that one by the body, glinted the note, and carried
Speaker 2: off the fatal weapon and all proof of the crime
Speaker 2: in his now empty case. He made only one error.
Speaker 2: He neglected to tune the violin. Gulst amazing homes listened
Speaker 2: very patiently. Use rooms to your ingenious and utterly imaginary reconstructions.
Speaker 2: I suppose you can punish himotives too. I'd preferred to
Speaker 2: sparely the Ashley the audio merival, but I have no
Speaker 2: doubt in that it was in you. She confided the
Speaker 2: Drinko had been blackmailing her on the strength of the
Speaker 2: earlier romance evict a man of murder. You need something
Speaker 2: more than words. You need proof. You seem to be
Speaker 2: overlooking this dissected violin on your desk with which you
Speaker 2: attempted to murder me. I fancy that the sample of
Speaker 2: your handiwork with the vile of gas a fixed therein
Speaker 2: will offer ample proof, and you'll never send me to
Speaker 2: the kitchen. I'll kill mass at first, but I'm going
Speaker 2: to track your perver of a precisely what I have
Speaker 2: sent her to drap it, then release the fumes. They
Speaker 2: would put a speedy end. You are now you get
Speaker 2: that arm. That's what helps a sonarous. I'm an inspector, Bernard.
Speaker 2: As you noticed when you commented on his beard and
Speaker 2: cloaked Watson, the inspector's fast in disguise are a trifle
Speaker 2: flamboy your own.
Speaker 4: I must extend my thanks to you and the Abadi
Speaker 4: suke not at all.
Speaker 2: Inspector. Your promptness in acting in response to my message
Speaker 2: undoubtedly save Watson's life and mine. Thank you all o,
Speaker 2: miss thank you very well. Have it your way, Inspector.
Speaker 2: Now Mary Wells, come my last way, where I says,
Speaker 2: rather too close a saved to suit me home? I say,
Speaker 2: that's full of marvel. Is very ingenious quite you know, Watson.
Speaker 2: I have one bit of regret concerning this case. Regret
Speaker 2: I find that I have, despite all my protests, ended
Speaker 2: by acting for Drinker without a fee. After all,
