<v Speaker 1>his old friend, got Master.

10
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 2>Detective Shrlock Holmes.

11
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, right about now you are probably taking a little

12
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>breather in your last minute rush to get everything ready

13
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 1>for the day tomorrow. Children have to be put to

14
00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:50.399
<v Speaker 1>bed to wait for Santa Claus, and is the tree waiting.

15
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>To be decorated?

16
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.679
<v Speaker 1>And four million and one things which must be done

17
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>before morning. I sure hope you got all your Christmas

18
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:59.719
<v Speaker 1>shopping done. It's pretty hectic rushing off at the last

19
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:02.719
<v Speaker 1>minute to take care of Uncle Charlie or Aunt Bertha,

20
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>cousin Sam. But if you must get something, just remember

21
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that you can always dash over to your wine merchant

22
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 1>and get a bottle or two of Petry wine.

23
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh Betty, you had a whole case of petry wine.

24
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Petry wine is a swell gift, and I just thought

25
00:01:17.079 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a little left minute suggestion might be of some help.

26
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 1>And now I'm sure I have good friend doctor Watson's

27
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 1>waiting for us, So let's go in and enjoy it.

28
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.159
<v Speaker 1>There you are, say doctor, I can see you're gonna

29
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>have yourself quite a Christmas big tree in the corner

30
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 1>with colored lights on it. Where did you get those

31
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>table covered with presents? You must be mighty popular for me,

32
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>my boy.

33
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>You see, I'm heaving a Christmas body tomorrow for my

34
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.560
<v Speaker 2>housekeeper's little nieces. Oh, I'm going to this up? Was

36
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 2>very convincing in the part.

37
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh, by the way, doctor, I brought you a little present.

38
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Here it is, and I hope you'll like it. It was,

39

<v Speaker 1>Thanks a lot, doctor, And now has about the night's story.

42
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Last week you told us you had chosen an adventure

43
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of Christmasy apples.

44
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Bartell, my story begins on another Christmas Eve,

45
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 2>many many years ago. The exact in eighteen hundred and

46
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>eighty six, the time the adventure occurred. I must confess

47
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>I didn't quite understand what was going on myself. In fact,

48
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I never did quite make head of tails of it

49
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>kills till Homes took pity on me later and explain

50
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>the whole thing. But I shan't try to confuse you,

51
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 2>mister Bartell. I'll tell the story exactly as it happened,

52
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>right you, wire, doctor. Let's go on that Christmas Eve

53
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 2>in eighty six. I was standing in our Baker Street rooms.

54
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:05.080
<v Speaker 2>That's the costume of Santa Claus Holmes is long, thin

55
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.159
<v Speaker 2>fingers pressed together, lay back in an arm chair and

56
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.879
<v Speaker 2>daze let me quizically while our housekeeper, Missus Hudson stood

57
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:13.479
<v Speaker 2>by the door.

58
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:19.719
<v Speaker 3>And you make a grand Santa Clause.

59
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Uncomfortable on the glove.

60
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Oh, you look just like the old man on the

61
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Christmas cards, Doctor.

62
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 4>Trinkle, the eyes, the ready complexion, and the the appropriate girl.

63
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 4>A shame we can't obtain some snow and a sleigh

64
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 4>and reindeer for you. However, I'm showing Missu Hudson's nieces

65
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 4>will be very much impressed.

66
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 5>There will that shirt and it's very captive, you doctor

67
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 5>to offer to come over to that house with me

68
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 5>father in the hospital and my sister.

69
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 3>It's his dead side. It would have been a very

70
00:03:57.319 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 3>miserable Christmas.

71
00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:01.240

<v Speaker 3>Oh, Lexington Gardens, number twenty eight. It's just off the edge.

77

<v Speaker 2>We have wood far. But bearing in mind my costume,

78
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.319
<v Speaker 2>I suppose we'd better take a cab, HI said, I'll

<v Speaker 6>party at my townhouse, I'm quite comfortably officely known.

132
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>It occurred to me that I have several relatives and

133
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>friends who are not as well off.

134

<v Speaker 2>pretend your party in disguise?

141
00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 4>private detective? Or do you consider my features more except

142
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 4>when buried beneath the depths of a snowy beer.

143
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:04.959
<v Speaker 7>Oh, my dear homes, you take me seriously. I'm not joking.

<v Speaker 5>are here watching you.

306
00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:59.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, missus upson paps. My toys are still

307
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:02.559
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the sack. I can't understand it. I

308
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.240
<v Speaker 2>was home to here instead of closing in front of

309
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.799
<v Speaker 2>our farm in Baker Street.

310
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 4>Where are you homes here with the bed? This is

311
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.399
<v Speaker 4>the only room in the temple that gives in his signs.

312
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:25.679
<v Speaker 4>I've been been lifting. Our bird has been here, but

313
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm afraid flown inspectors strip get here.

314
00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 10>It's like a match, will you William right? Here's a

315
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.159
<v Speaker 10>candle on the table, just as I feared, got on

316
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:39.840
<v Speaker 10>the bed, a red coat and a beard.

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Wait a minute.

320
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 3>Here's a sack lying on the floor.

321
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, this isn't mine. Look what's in it?

322
00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:52.799
<v Speaker 7>A toy dog, large box of chocolates.

323
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Look at girls, don worry thunder, but this is watson sack.

324
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:58.840
<v Speaker 4>But how on earth could lose the lisper have got

325
00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 4>hold of it somewhere some how he works and must

326
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:02.919
<v Speaker 4>have made an accidental change and Lula list but there's

327
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 4>no doubt trying to track bats them down at this

328
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 4>very moment. You must work fast, Wigham on my friend's

329
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:09.640
<v Speaker 4>wife and those are missu Hudson and our relatives won't

330
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:20.599
<v Speaker 4>be what I thinker's damn, doctor.

331
00:17:20.359 --> 00:17:23.839
<v Speaker 2>You can't break off your story. But before I go on,

332
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:30.519
<v Speaker 2>I put the freshman's up. Oh well, that's that's something different.

333
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Of course, instead of talking about port as I sometimes do,

334
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>it'll be nice to.

335
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Drink some change a merry Christmas tree. The same to you.

336
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:43.880
<v Speaker 2>And now what happened next? Doctor?

337
00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:47.000
<v Speaker 1>We left you at the children's Christmas party and Sherlock

338
00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Holmes and Lord Weddick around the corner at the Temple

339
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:50.599
<v Speaker 1>of the Octagonal Square.

340
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's about at the time, of course, I had

341
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:56.279
<v Speaker 2>no idea what was going on there. I was cheerfully

342
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.200
<v Speaker 2>handing out gifts worth will. It's not a king's at

343
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.039
<v Speaker 2>least to battle. It's ransom outside the Temple of the

344
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 2>Octagonal Square, homes Lord Wiigm, we're talking to inspectless squad.

345
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:13.440
<v Speaker 9>Yes, yes, it seems to me, Lord Whittigan, you'd have

346
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 9>been wiser to get in touch with Scotland Yard when

347
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:18.240
<v Speaker 9>you first got the warning loot if we could have

348
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 9>nabbed him when he came to your house and finished

349
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:21.920
<v Speaker 9>the sack of presence artists.

350
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:23.759
<v Speaker 4>No time for person botins. We've got to reach lou

351
00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 4>the list before he finds Doctor Watson. Suppose he can

352
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.359
<v Speaker 4>do that at homes. It wouldn't be difficult. Lu the

353
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.119
<v Speaker 4>Lisper is nearly as clever as his master, Professor Briatty.

354
00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:33.559
<v Speaker 4>The chance is now that you were followed when you

355
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:35.759
<v Speaker 4>came to bag the street to night Wittingham deeply likely

356
00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.920
<v Speaker 4>that Watson and missus Hudson were followed as they left it.

357
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Myriati is seldom leave to anything. To once, well, where

358
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:43.680
<v Speaker 4>did Doc Watson go to night Lexington Gardens? It's still

359
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:45.680
<v Speaker 4>around the corner from here. Work in this coo then

360
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 4>at once might not quite away? No, no, no, no,

361
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:50.279
<v Speaker 4>the strive You must use a little subtlety. Now, Lu

362
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:53.200
<v Speaker 4>the Lisper wishes to recover that stack of presence from Watson.

363
00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.039
<v Speaker 4>How would he invade the party with the least possible.

364
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Trouble by dressing up a cent of close again? No, no,

365
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.359
<v Speaker 2>I think he's overplayed that for one evening. Then I

366
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:03.759
<v Speaker 2>would he try to get in Miss Thrones? Oh? Come now,

367
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:04.240
<v Speaker 2>as drive.

368
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.119
<v Speaker 4>A group of people can enter any house on Christmas

369
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.960
<v Speaker 4>Eve without invitation, without creating suspicion. I shouldn't be all

370
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.160
<v Speaker 4>surprised if at this moment Rubless burned some of his

371
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 4>gang are singing carols outside twenty eight Lexington Gardens.

448
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:55.200
<v Speaker 6>my relatives.

449
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:56.960
