Speaker 1: Petrie Wine brings you.
Speaker 2: Basil raft Bone and Nigel Bruce and the new Adventures
Speaker 2: of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took
Speaker 2: time to bring you good wine. Invite you to listen
Speaker 2: to doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared
Speaker 2: with his good friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And
Speaker 2: I'd like to tell you about my favorite time of day.
Speaker 2: It's just before dinner, you know, when the family's all
Speaker 2: sitting around in the living room and wonderful things are
Speaker 2: cooking in the kitchen.
Speaker 1: Ah, that's for me, and that's the time for a
Speaker 1: glass of sherry.
Speaker 2: Because Petrie California's sherry really makes waiting for dinner a pleasure.
Speaker 2: That Petrie sherry is the perfect before dinner wine. Just
Speaker 2: look at his beautiful amber color and then taste that
Speaker 2: wonderful Petrie sherry.
Speaker 1: What a flavor.
Speaker 2: Petri sherry has a rich, nutty flavor that's right from
Speaker 2: the heart of sunripe grapes. And if you like your
Speaker 2: sherry dry, you know, not sweet, you want to get
Speaker 2: Petree pale dry sherry or better yet, taste them both.
Speaker 1: Don't buy one, buy two. Those letters P. E. T.
Speaker 2: R I on the label are the personal assurance of
Speaker 2: the Petrie family that Petree Sherry is truly good wine.
Speaker 2: And now it's time to keep the weekly appointment with
Speaker 2: our good friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: How are you deceading? Doctor? I never felt better. Thank you,
Speaker 1: mister Botel. Drow up your usual churn, make.
Speaker 2: Yourself comfortable, thank you. I see you've had the old
Speaker 2: ten dispatch box out again. I suppose you've been going
Speaker 2: through your notes on tonight's new share lock owns advantage.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think you will find it as pretty little
Speaker 3: problem as we ever encountered. Story began at eighteen hundred
Speaker 3: and eighty seven.
Speaker 1: That it is year for us, my boy.
Speaker 3: It was the same year that Home solved the case
Speaker 3: of the Amateur Mellican Society who held their meetings in
Speaker 3: a luxuriously furnished vault below a furniture warehouse.
Speaker 1: Oh, I remember that story, Darkling.
Speaker 2: And wasn't eighty seven the year you both escaped from
Speaker 2: death in the paradal chamber?
Speaker 4: It was?
Speaker 3: Indeed, you've got a very good memory, Misberto. The story
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you tonight topped off this unusually
Speaker 3: exciting year. It was late in October and the equinoxial
Speaker 3: gales had set in with exceptional violence. All day, the
Speaker 3: wind had howled, and the rain had beaten against the
Speaker 3: windows of our Baker Street lodgings. Finally, it was midnight.
Speaker 3: As far as I remember, the storm grew higher and louder,
Speaker 3: and the wind in the chimney sobbed like a child. Suddenly,
Speaker 3: much to our surprise, the doorbell jangled, and a few
Speaker 3: months later, our midnight visitor.
Speaker 1: Stood before us. He was a man of about forty five,
Speaker 1: and as he looked about him anxiously on the glare
Speaker 1: of the lamp.
Speaker 3: I could see that his face was pale, and that
Speaker 3: his eyes heavy, like those of a man who was
Speaker 3: weighed down with some great anxiety.
Speaker 1: And when he spoke, his urn was businesslike and almost aggressive.
Speaker 5: I've come to you for advice, mister Holmes, that's easily obtained,
Speaker 5: and help that is not always so easy.
Speaker 1: It helps the gentlemen off this coat, But he wasn't
Speaker 1: you let me hang it up for you? Thank you, sir.
Speaker 6: I heard of you, mister Holmes, from Major Pendergast Toyert.
Speaker 6: He said that you could solve anything. I'm ready said
Speaker 6: too much, that you've never been beaten. I've been beaten
Speaker 6: four times, serves, three times by men and once by
Speaker 6: a woman.
Speaker 1: That's the person.
Speaker 5: You sit down and introduce yourself. My friend's name is Watson,
Speaker 5: Dr Watson.
Speaker 1: How do you lose her? How do you do? Doctor?
Speaker 1: My name is Lovelace, Edmund Lovelace.
Speaker 5: And what brings you to me at this hour of
Speaker 5: the night? Mister Lovelace, I'm in terrible trouble.
Speaker 6: Mister Holmes, you don't know anything about me, but if
Speaker 6: you'll accept my case, you can save four lives.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say that I know nothing about ucer, though
Speaker 5: It's true that I know little beyond the somewhat obvious
Speaker 5: fact that well you are single, that you keep a
Speaker 5: dog but not a man servant, and that you are
Speaker 5: much preoccupied the goverasiness, which I take to be some
Speaker 5: form of insurance.
Speaker 3: Oh come, come, come now, what is this well i've met?
Speaker 3: I'll wage to let my friends right, though, isn't he
Speaker 3: mister Lovelace?
Speaker 1: Perfectly?
Speaker 5: But I'll be hanged if I can see how he knows.
Speaker 5: It's a practical application of logic, sir. The briefcase that
Speaker 5: you carry it might at first indicate a barrister or
Speaker 5: some other professional man. But your brusque business business like
Speaker 5: manna contracts that suggestion.
Speaker 1: An insurance broke up who must visit.
Speaker 5: Clients at odd hours is the likeliest man to combine
Speaker 5: that manner with a briefcase of midnight that the wife
Speaker 5: and the man servant, and the fact that I'm preoccupied
Speaker 5: with my business. Your couplings don't match, sir, They each
Speaker 5: is from a different pair. That would suggest preoccupation. And
Speaker 5: it's a mistake that neither a wife nor a man
Speaker 5: servant would have allowed to passe.
Speaker 1: How about the dog? I can't see.
Speaker 5: I shall let you punder on that matter, while mister
Speaker 5: Lovelace tells.
Speaker 6: Us is probably mister Holmes, are you interested in preventing
Speaker 6: a murder as in solving one?
Speaker 1: Naturally? I am mister Lovelace's even more so. But please
Speaker 1: tell me you're sorry.
Speaker 6: I live with four cousins of mine in an old
Speaker 6: houst in Camberwell. My grandfather left the house and a
Speaker 6: sizeable fortune to the five of us on condition that
Speaker 6: we lived together.
Speaker 1: And maintained the family unity.
Speaker 6: It probably won't surprise you to know that we've grown
Speaker 6: to get pretty much on each other's nerves.
Speaker 1: What happens if one of you dies, mister Lovelace, his.
Speaker 6: Share is divided among the others.
Speaker 5: The wonder to me is there that not that a
Speaker 5: murder may take place, but that it has not happened
Speaker 5: one ago.
Speaker 1: Who's responsible for the administration of the estate. My cousin Gerald.
Speaker 6: He's much older than the rest of us, and he's
Speaker 6: a thoroughly unpleasant, cantankerous man. He gets an extra share
Speaker 6: in the estate as administrator, and in consequence he doesn't.
Speaker 1: Work we feel, of course, but he.
Speaker 6: Lives all of us and we're continually quarreling with him
Speaker 6: about it.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a jolly asshole is going to be trouble,
Speaker 1: mister Holmes, I know it.
Speaker 6: Gerald hates us and he's jealous of our share in
Speaker 6: the estate.
Speaker 1: Who spoke of preventing murder just now?
Speaker 5: Yet I can see that you've selected your cousin Gerald
Speaker 5: as the potential murderer.
Speaker 1: Am I right? Yes you are.
Speaker 6: But don't think it's personal prejudice that makes me suspect him.
Speaker 6: I have good reason for doing so.
Speaker 1: What reason? This evening?
Speaker 6: Just before dinner, I can jerrold off with his top
Speaker 6: coat and went to hang it up for him. As
Speaker 6: I did so, I heard a strange pallid clink in
Speaker 6: one of his pockets. I slipped my hand inside it
Speaker 6: and found a hypodermic syringe and a small pile of liquid.
Speaker 1: I opened the pile and smelled it. Gentlemen, it reeked
Speaker 1: of bitter almond. Mister Sila, Eh, what did you do?
Speaker 6: I thought of destroying it, but I realized that would
Speaker 6: put him on his guard, so I replaced it in
Speaker 6: his pocket. Of course, I warned the others, and we
Speaker 6: decided that I had come to you. I had a
Speaker 6: most important client tonight. Who I'd have been here earlier?
Speaker 2: He is?
Speaker 3: It seems odd that you didn't come directed to mister
Speaker 3: Helms as soon you'd made a discovery mister Lovelace. After all,
Speaker 3: if a potential murderers walking about with a pocket full
Speaker 3: of silent, I should have thought that it itself was
Speaker 3: more importand business.
Speaker 6: Well, I yes, I I course, if I seem so
Speaker 6: to you, doctor, that's the most interesting stick you carriser me.
Speaker 1: I exactly it, of course, h thank god.
Speaker 3: Now I see how you deduced that mister Lovelace had
Speaker 3: a dog homes marks of the dog's teeth.
Speaker 1: Of the stick.
Speaker 5: Yes, my dear Bussi, but these marks under scrutiny give
Speaker 5: us more specific information.
Speaker 1: He's a large dog.
Speaker 5: You've had him for some years, mister Lovelace, and he's
Speaker 5: now old and feeble.
Speaker 1: Well, you're perfectly.
Speaker 6: Right, But I'll be hindy if I can see how
Speaker 6: you can tell that from looking at a walking stick.
Speaker 5: This stick is covered with teeth marks. Therefore it has
Speaker 5: been carried many times by the dog. Now it's done
Speaker 5: the heaviest stick, so only a large dog could have
Speaker 5: carried it.
Speaker 1: And the teeth marks also indicate a large jaw.
Speaker 5: The older marks are deep sunk loqure, the fresh ones
Speaker 5: where the wood is not yet dark, and a shallow Yes,
Speaker 5: it's obvious that the jaws are losing their spring.
Speaker 1: Let's put a cover of you, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: But I don't see what it has to do with
Speaker 6: the case of hand.
Speaker 1: Neither do I homes I must confess now.
Speaker 5: Surely it tells us that your story, mister Lovelace, may
Speaker 5: bear or less terrifying implication than you think. On the
Speaker 5: other hand, it's implication may be even more terrifying. Oh,
Speaker 5: it's late at night. I feel that any feather delay
Speaker 5: in this matter would be extremely dangerous. I suggest to
Speaker 5: get a cab and I'm jahus in Campbewell at once.
Speaker 1: Alice, Randolph and Dad, you're still up.
Speaker 6: I was able to persuade mister Shellakurks and Dr Watson
Speaker 6: to come back with me.
Speaker 1: Gentlemen, this is my cousin, Alice Harley. How do you do?
Speaker 1: How do you do? Miss Harley? How do you do?
Speaker 5: And my cousin Randolph Lovely. I told him about the
Speaker 5: whole business, Randolph, so we can all speak perfectly freely.
Speaker 7: Let's begin by sitting down, shall we. Randolf and I
Speaker 7: had just finished a little cold supper. We've been to
Speaker 7: the theater tonight.
Speaker 5: Well, mister Holmes, I suppose Edmund told you about finding
Speaker 5: the hypodermic sperience and the cyanide in Gerald's coat pocket. Yes, indeed,
Speaker 5: may I ask where your cousin Gerald Lovelace is now.
Speaker 7: We left the house at seven, but I imagine Gerald went
Speaker 7: upstairs at eight as usual, didn't.
Speaker 1: He on the stroke of eight? Alice.
Speaker 6: He's very fixed in his habits, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1: He goes up to his room every night at eight.
Speaker 1: There he needs or works on his accounts and.
Speaker 6: Eventually goes to bed any time between ten and one, for.
Speaker 1: He might still be up.
Speaker 5: I should like to speak to him a little later
Speaker 5: in the meanwhile, may I ask you, two young people,
Speaker 5: tell me, quite honestly your feelings about your cousin Gerald, and.
Speaker 1: You might as well be Frank. I've kept nothing back.
Speaker 7: All right, ran Off and I hate him fast of all.
Speaker 7: We're sure he's jealous of our shares in the estate.
Speaker 1: And then we Alice and I want to get married.
Speaker 1: Mister Holmes and Gerald won't hear of it.
Speaker 2: But you're your.
Speaker 1: Cousins, aren't you?
Speaker 7: Only second cousins, Doctor Watson. Gerald is dreadfully conventional. He's
Speaker 7: threatened us that if we do get married, he'll go
Speaker 7: to court until they have our shares in the estate annulled.
Speaker 5: And from the way the will is worded, I wouldn't
Speaker 5: be surprised he could do it. So you can see
Speaker 5: why we have no great love for him, why we're
Speaker 5: afraid of him.
Speaker 1: He turns an extremely unfilled persons to you.
Speaker 5: You mentioned there were five cousins in the house. Three
Speaker 5: of you were here. Mister Gerald's lovelace is upstairs. Who
Speaker 5: and where is the fifth cousin. The fifth cousin is
Speaker 5: my brother Skilly. He's something of a tragic Fred.
Speaker 1: You see.
Speaker 5: Gilly is twenty, but he he never developed mentally beyond
Speaker 5: the age of eight.
Speaker 1: He had a bad fall in the hunting field when
Speaker 1: he was a kid. He's been like this ever since.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear that, sir, but he's the.
Speaker 7: Dearest, most gentle boy you've ever met, and.
Speaker 6: Incidentally, the one person in this house who doesn't hate Gerald.
Speaker 1: And poor Fellow doesn't understand the conditions of the world
Speaker 1: last monson.
Speaker 7: No, but if he did, I don't think it'd make
Speaker 7: any difference. I swear Gilly loves every living thing, especially Gladstone.
Speaker 1: Gladstone is the name of his dog, his dog. Yes,
Speaker 1: the dog may be the key to this whole matter.
Speaker 1: Dog What makes you say that home?
Speaker 5: When a man brings a quick and painless poison home
Speaker 5: to ourself, containing an old and feeble dog, it's more
Speaker 5: than possible that he has obtained that poison quite legitimately,
Speaker 5: to give the dog a merciful death, to kill Gladstone.
Speaker 1: Oh no, after all, Alice, dear, he is old and
Speaker 1: almost blind.
Speaker 6: With mister Holmes, if you think Gerald brought home the
Speaker 6: poison to put Gladstone out of the way. When I
Speaker 6: admit it sounds perfectly logical. What made you to say
Speaker 6: come here tonight?
Speaker 5: Because I dare not even guess what you may have
Speaker 5: done by including the thought of murder in this situation?
Speaker 1: And where is your brother, Gilly in his room upstairs asleep?
Speaker 1: I wonder if we might go up to him. I
Speaker 1: like to talk, if you don't mind. And after that
Speaker 1: I I want a few words with your cousin, Gerald Lovelace.
Speaker 1: He's asleep, stole with a dog in his arm. M
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play. We'll have to awaken him, Killy, Killy,
Speaker 1: that's all right. I'm not going to help him. Gilly. Hm?
Speaker 1: Who is it? Oh?
Speaker 4: Hello, Alice? Who are these men? They've come to take
Speaker 4: Gladstone away?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: No, Gillouis We have not, Gilly. We've just come to
Speaker 1: admire him. No, brother's been telling us what a fine
Speaker 1: dog he is. Huh, that's different. He isn't he beautiful?
Speaker 4: I I just had such a wonderful dream about him,
Speaker 4: Such a wonderful dream.
Speaker 1: What was it, Billy? Hmm? Well he was all young again.
Speaker 1: It's just a puppy.
Speaker 4: He was chasing a rabbit across a cliff top and
Speaker 4: and I was running with him. Oh, Glaston looked so beautiful,
Speaker 4: didn't you, old boy? Of course you did. And and
Speaker 4: you know, the rabbit went down a hole, and Gladston
Speaker 4: went down after him, and I went down after Gladstone,
Speaker 4: and all had tea with the rabbits. Huh, so funny.
Speaker 4: He all had little green hats on, hats with feathers.
Speaker 4: I wanted Glaston to try one on, but you wouldn't.
Speaker 1: So sleepy. Come on, Gladston, let's go back to the
Speaker 1: tea party.
Speaker 5: Okay, his world may be a great gil more pleasant
Speaker 5: than ours, Watson. That's what I'd like to thank mister Holmes.
Speaker 5: Now it's act him for a few words for their
Speaker 5: cousin Gerald. His runs at the end of this corridor.
Speaker 1: I'm afraid Gilly wasn't much help to you, mister Harman
Speaker 1: on the country, young lady. He told me exactly what
Speaker 1: I wanted to know.
Speaker 8: Here we on.
Speaker 5: This is Gerald from there's no light under the door.
Speaker 5: He must have gone to sleep, and I'm afraid we
Speaker 5: must waken him too. Hm must sleeper, but he isn't.
Speaker 5: He's a remarkably LifeWise.
Speaker 1: I'm on twin track a match with the jat mandles
Speaker 1: at the head of his dead doctor Watson, while he's
Speaker 1: lying on the outside of his bed. He must be.
Speaker 1: There's blood on the pillow. Great Scot Holmes, the back
Speaker 1: of his car smashed him. He's murdered. Oh horrible, yes, Watson,
Speaker 1: the blows on his head, looking on the table by his.
Speaker 5: Bed, hypodermic syringe and a broken file, Yes, a broken file.
Speaker 1: Wreaking a bitter almonds for a devil.
Speaker 5: Well, I won't pretend I like him, but what a
Speaker 5: ghastly way to done.
Speaker 1: All they that take the sword shall perish.
Speaker 5: With the sword, so the scripture say, mister Lovelace. There
Speaker 5: is suspicion that the killing has brought murder to pass. Well,
Speaker 5: it's too late to prevent it. Job now is to
Speaker 5: find the killer and see that he's brought to justice.
Speaker 2: Doctor Watson will tell you the rest of his story
Speaker 2: in just a few seconds, just time enough for me
Speaker 2: to tell you that if there's one wine it's perfect
Speaker 2: for any occasion, it's Patrie, California's sherry. With a bottle
Speaker 2: of that rich and the colored Patrie sherry on hand.
Speaker 2: You can make that time before dinner a main event.
Speaker 2: And Patrick Sherry is the perfect answer to the question
Speaker 2: of what to serve when company comes. Serve Patrie Scharry
Speaker 2: alone and let its full wonderful flavor speak for itself,
Speaker 2: or served Patrick Cherry with or deerbs or party sandwiches.
Speaker 2: And remember you can serve Patrie Scharry, probably because Patrie
Speaker 2: is the proudest name in the history of American wine. Well,
Speaker 2: doctor Watson, so you found Gerald Lovelace dead in one
Speaker 2: of the bedrooms of the house in Camberwell, what did
Speaker 2: you do?
Speaker 1: Send for the police? Not at once?
Speaker 3: Sherlock Holmes persuaded the remainder of the household to give
Speaker 3: him the opportunity of examining the scene of the crime
Speaker 3: carefully before the police was sent for. And so a
Speaker 3: few minutes before one o'clock that October night, Holmes and
Speaker 3: I stood alone in the room of death.
Speaker 1: You know, Holmes, I think you should have sent for
Speaker 1: the police right away.
Speaker 5: And in case of fact this Watson, I prefer to
Speaker 5: be my own police. And I have spun the web.
Speaker 5: They may take the flies, but not before What are
Speaker 5: the results if you are medically examination old Chap.
Speaker 3: It's exactly Hugh reconstructed at homes. He was first beating
Speaker 3: on the head with that poker lying on the floor.
Speaker 3: Then he had the full file of sylide injected into
Speaker 3: his left wrist.
Speaker 1: Can you estimate the time of death to accurately?
Speaker 3: No, His room's confinedly hot. He might have died any
Speaker 3: time from one to five hours ago.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's now one o'clock, and we know that he
Speaker 5: was alive at eight statemand Lovelace saw him.
Speaker 1: Leave for his room at that hour. Ye, if he
Speaker 1: was telling the truth.
Speaker 5: One thing we do know for a fact is that
Speaker 5: this man was murdered and the exact moment he was
Speaker 5: going to bed.
Speaker 1: He's wearing his nightgown and nightcap. But his bed has
Speaker 1: not been slept in.
Speaker 3: And is it possible the murder might have killed him
Speaker 3: shortly after eight and then dressed him in his nightclothes.
Speaker 1: Confuses no matter, Chap.
Speaker 5: He will notice that the hypodemic needl passed to the
Speaker 5: sleeve of his night shirt.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 5: Also the nightcap is crushed in bloodstained from the blows
Speaker 5: of the poker.
Speaker 1: No devil g Lovelace had prepared for bed. Yes, pot
Speaker 1: a glass of water on the night table and the
Speaker 1: per book.
Speaker 5: What yes, signs of a prosperous and meticulous man, fine
Speaker 5: gold watch and in excellent condition. Ah, there's the answer, Watson.
Speaker 1: What do you mean? There's the answer, Watson.
Speaker 5: I just wound this watch one turn and then it
Speaker 5: was fully wound. That provides us with the time schedule
Speaker 5: for arm there. Come on, we'll send a servain for
Speaker 5: the police, and while they're on the way, if you'll
Speaker 5: call everyone together. I should like to put a few
Speaker 5: more questions to this family.
Speaker 1: Before the police arrive.
Speaker 5: I should like to carry your statements again very carefully,
Speaker 5: if you don't mind, mister Edmund Lovelace, what with your
Speaker 5: exact movements tonight?

Speaker 5: clock in the hall striking just as we went into
Speaker 5: the drawing. And your brother Gilly, sir, I hate to

Speaker 1: never goes out after darkness.
Speaker 5: Mors But I spoke to the cook as we came
Speaker 5: in tonight. She says that he played cards with her
Speaker 5: until just after ten o'clock.

Speaker 5: wouldn't Joe, Oh, yes, sir, I won't get it, No,
Speaker 5: great shotter, Gilly. I don't think you really kill a man.
Speaker 5: I don't think you could.
Speaker 1: Hah, couldn't die though? How would you kill him? I'd
Speaker 1: hit him first. I'd take a poker and hit him
Speaker 1: on the head so he couldn't fight back. And then
Speaker 1: I'd take the lasty needle.
Speaker 4: He told me he was going to stick in Glaston and.
Speaker 1: And and I'd fill it full of that water he
Speaker 1: showed me, and I'd stick it in him. That's what
Speaker 1: I do. Then he'd be dead and he couldn't hurt
Speaker 1: my Glaston anymore.
Speaker 5: Not ever, Let's leave him, shall we? Good Bye Gilly
Speaker 5: Pu's dreams.
Speaker 1: Good Bye, sir, little Glaster. You satisfied, sir? Yes, poor Guinea,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it, canna be.
Speaker 3: No one had described the murder to him, and yet
Speaker 3: he's just given an exact description.
Speaker 1: It's method. What will happened to him? They they won't try.
Speaker 5: It, No, no, no, no, little pressure in the right places,
Speaker 5: and you'll be released to a private nursing home.
Speaker 1: I'll do everything I can. Mister Lovelace, thank you, mister Helms,
Speaker 1: thank you very much.
Speaker 3: Well, Holmes, now that we're back in Vaker Streets and
Speaker 3: the whole pressing case is finished with, perhaps you'll tell
Speaker 3: me how you.
Speaker 1: Knew that Billy had committed them.
Speaker 5: The time schedules all alarm. You checked the alibis the
Speaker 5: other cousins and found them satisfactory. That meant that Alice
Speaker 5: Harley and Randolph Lovelace could have committed the crime only
Speaker 5: at midnight, Edmund on late before ten, Gilly, only around eleven.
Speaker 5: You said that the time of death could have been
Speaker 5: at any of those hours.
Speaker 1: Yes, I did, so how did you pin it down
Speaker 1: to eleven? The watch gave me the specific cancer.
Speaker 5: When I picked it up, I am thinking, I'm thinkingly wound.
Speaker 1: It made one turn, was then fully wound. Now when
Speaker 1: does the stotic of precise.
Speaker 5: Man like Gerald Lovelace wind his watch just He's going
Speaker 5: to be exactly ol Collum, so that it was obvious
Speaker 5: that he was killed precisely one watch stem turn before
Speaker 5: I wound his watch.
Speaker 1: Now I'm beginning to see daylight at Holmes. So you
Speaker 1: let the watch run down.
Speaker 5: That's what I did. It took twenty eight hours, from
Speaker 5: one o'clock the night before last until five this morning. Now,
Speaker 5: how many turns did it take to rewind it? Fourteen,
Speaker 5: wasn't That's right? Therefore one turn of the watch stem
Speaker 5: equal two hours, proving that Gerald Lovelace had been murdered
Speaker 5: two hours before one o'clock at eleven pm.
Speaker 1: When Gilly was the only one who could have done it.
Speaker 3: You know, Holmes, I still find it hard to believe
Speaker 3: that boy was capable.
Speaker 1: Of such a ghastly crime. He seems so gentle old.
Speaker 5: Years years, except when his beloved dog's life was at stake.
Speaker 5: Probably out of some mistaken notion of kindness, General Lovelace
Speaker 5: warn the boy of his intentions regarding the dog.
Speaker 1: It's a sad business. What's in a sad business? I
Speaker 1: hate to think of that boy as spending the rest
Speaker 1: of his life in a mental health I have one
Speaker 1: prayer for his future. What's that home? The dog Babston
Speaker 1: can't live very long.
Speaker 8: I prayed Gilly does not long outlive him.
Speaker 1: That was a remarkable bit of deduction on the part
Speaker 1: of mister Holm. Yes, extremely cover wasn't. Of course, I
Speaker 1: may say, so I was some small help? Was so
Speaker 1: small help? Why?
Speaker 2: Doctor, you practically solve the case by yourself. But doctor,
Speaker 2: you did check all the alibis, didn't you. Yes, I
Speaker 2: checked where each suspect was at very time, as you
Speaker 2: checked time. And what's more important than time?
Speaker 1: WHOA why? Doctor?
Speaker 2: Time is even vitally important when it comes to wine.
Speaker 1: I was wondering how you going to bring that in?
Speaker 2: And one thing we do know, Petrie took time to
Speaker 2: bring you good wine, so nobody can miss with Petri wine.
Speaker 1: It's just gotta be good.
Speaker 2: You know, you can't be in the wine business as
Speaker 2: long as the Petrie family without really learning all about
Speaker 2: the fine art of making wine. And don't forget the
Speaker 2: Petrie family has been making fine wine since way back
Speaker 2: in the eighteen hundreds, so naturally they've been able to
Speaker 2: hand on down from father to son, from father to son,
Speaker 2: the result of generations of experience at turning luscious sun
Speaker 2: ripe and grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. No matter what
Speaker 2: type of wine you prefer, you'll like it more if
Speaker 2: it's a Petree wine, because Petree took time to bring
Speaker 2: you good wine. Well, doctor Watson, what new Sherlock Holmes story.
Speaker 2: Do you plan to tell us next world on next week?
Speaker 3: Mister about chall, I'm going to tell you a most
Speaker 3: unusual adventure the terms and I had when we were
Speaker 3: tending a performance at the Upper House in Rome. Concerns
Speaker 3: the famous singer lost her voice, an understudy who was
Speaker 3: nearly lynched, and a murder that baffles the police. I
Speaker 3: call it the Adventure of the Terrifying Cats.
Speaker 1: Well that's the story we've got to hear. Thank you,
Speaker 1: mister Bartel.
Speaker 3: And before you go, I want to talk to our
Speaker 3: friends about their war bonds. You know, during the war,
Speaker 3: the best investment we could find was a United States
Speaker 3: war bond, and for my money, there's still a great investment.
Speaker 3: They're called United States savings bonds now, and only the
Speaker 3: name is changed. Savings bonds are sold in the same
Speaker 3: denominations and give you all the same advantages, and you
Speaker 3: can buy savings bonds at the same places at your
Speaker 3: bank or your postuff store through the payroll savings plans.
Speaker 3: So invest all you can in United States savings bonds
Speaker 3: because you cannot.
Speaker 1: Find a better or a safer investment. To night.
