Speaker 1: This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
Speaker 1: transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
Speaker 1: and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
Speaker 1: Petrie Wine brings you Lazil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and
Speaker 1: the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the
Speaker 1: family that took time to bring you good wine. Invite
Speaker 1: you to listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting
Speaker 1: adventure he shared with his old friend, that master Detective
Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes. And as for me, I'd like to tell
Speaker 1: you that a time like right now is the perfect
Speaker 1: time for a glass of Petrie California Port after you've
Speaker 1: had a good dinner. Boy, if Petri Port is a
Speaker 1: real top, that rich, deep red pet Report is really
Speaker 1: an extraordinary wine, even its colors different. And as for
Speaker 1: its flavor, well, it'll take a better man than me
Speaker 1: to describe that Petreport is a hearty wine, sure, and
Speaker 1: every other quality that you look for in a good
Speaker 1: port you'll find in pet Report. And then some try
Speaker 1: pat Report by itself, or serve it with fruit, with nuts,
Speaker 1: or with cake. But share it with your friends. Will
Speaker 1: you be cause you can't serve it proudly. After all,
Speaker 1: it is a Petree wine, and that name Petrie is
Speaker 1: the proudest name in the history of American wines. And
Speaker 1: now let's visit our old friend and host, doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: Good evening, mister Bato good anything, Doctor, set her surf
Speaker 1: down and get your pipe going. Thanks doctor. Last week
Speaker 1: you told us that tonight's story took place in the
Speaker 1: Kasbar at Algiers.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Casbah, I remember it as the place of
Speaker 2: concass streets winding up and down past colorful cafes, where
Speaker 2: a hundred tongues was spoken, and oftnes Street would end
Speaker 2: in shadowy darkness which a man would be foolharder to
Speaker 2: enter alone.
Speaker 1: Yes, I tell that.
Speaker 3: Was the cast, brother Charlick Holmes, and.
Speaker 1: I knew in that winter of ninety nine. How did
Speaker 1: you happen to be out there? Doctor? Do you mind
Speaker 1: if I tell you the story from the start, mister Buttle, If.
Speaker 3: Really began on a winter night to Baker Street, it's.
Speaker 2: A conclusion of the strange murder in Monttrevor Castle.
Speaker 1: A charming young girl sat on the sofa of.
Speaker 2: Our lodgings in Baker Street.
Speaker 4: Mister you can't feel have nothing more to do with another, Pdfield.
Speaker 1: I found the poor murderer, the doctor cutters and committed suicide.
Speaker 1: Surely the cases ended, Yes, mister Holmes, you found the
Speaker 1: real murderer.
Speaker 4: But now I wanted to find an unfortunate young man
Speaker 4: who fleding them five years ago.
Speaker 1: When he was suspected of a crime. Was a new development, Misturdfielder,
Speaker 1: please tell us about it.
Speaker 4: It's Douglas Milton that I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, yes, he was the heir of the title,
Speaker 1: wasn't he, Yes, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: He was a sensitive artistic boy, and when he knew
Speaker 4: that he was under suspicion, he ran away. Of course,
Speaker 4: everyone regarded his flight as an admission of guilt, that
Speaker 4: is until you found a real culprit, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2: Imagine miss Streatfield, that your interest in the missing boy
Speaker 2: is not entirely shall we say, altruistic.
Speaker 4: I'm in love with him, doctor who we're engaged to
Speaker 4: be married when he ran away.
Speaker 1: Mister You've got to find him. He must know that his.
Speaker 4: Name has been cleared and that he's inherited the title.
Speaker 1: The Stretfield. Have you any direct news, any letter from
Speaker 1: your fiance since he left five years ago. None any
Speaker 1: clues as his hiding place. Only this.
Speaker 4: It's a painting I received anonymously a year after he
Speaker 4: had left. It was sent from a forwarding address in London.
Speaker 1: Here it is, mister Jones, Thank you more oil painting,
Speaker 1: very good one to sh Yes, the spendid sense of
Speaker 1: composition and his use of color is unusually brilliant. You
Speaker 1: recognize this painting as the work of your fiance, Miss Stutfield,
Speaker 1: I'm certain of it. Yes, wonderful color serve the delicate
Speaker 1: shadings of that sunset and the brilliant green of the oasis.
Speaker 1: The scene is extraordinarily reminiscent the desert in North Africa. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: that's what made me say I was certainly gone abroad.
Speaker 1: Mister Holnes, Why should he go to North Africa? A
Speaker 1: good place? Watson le an English who imagines himself to
Speaker 1: be escaping justice? Remember the peign Legion is stationed there.
Speaker 4: You think he might have joined the legion, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1: Would seemed logical, no question to ask for those who
Speaker 1: join it, and its colorful obscurity might easily appeal to
Speaker 1: a young fellow in trouble. Hello, what is it home?
Speaker 1: Quite a few grains of sands between the canvas and
Speaker 1: the frame. Here this Stutfield, you might have I tried
Speaker 1: the canvas loose.
Speaker 4: Do anything you like, mister Holmes, if it gives you
Speaker 4: any included Douglass.
Speaker 1: Whereby give me a pen knighte If he wasn't, thanks
Speaker 1: so chap huh Here we are? Can you see anything? Ah?
Speaker 1: Look the words an elaft Pune a stamped here sheriff
Speaker 1: is probably the framer's name, and a laft pun is
Speaker 1: a town comes fifty miles from Alders that settles it.
Speaker 1: Miss Struttfield, accept your case, Watson, and I will go
Speaker 1: to Africa and try to find your fiance, Douglas Nelson.
Speaker 1: Missus Sheila Cone, send doctor Watts. I have heard of
Speaker 1: you so often, but I never thought I should see
Speaker 1: you here at the headquarters something foreign legion. What can
Speaker 1: I do for you, gentlemen? Well, Colonel Prison, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to place an Englishman who has been missing during the
Speaker 1: past four years. I have reason to believe that he
Speaker 1: might have joined the legion. Eh. I should look in
Speaker 1: my records. Let me see four years ago with the
Speaker 1: eighteen ninety five If Sheela Cones is tracking him. Then
Speaker 1: I suppose he was in trouble in his own country.
Speaker 1: If he was in trouble, he might easily have come
Speaker 1: to us. We ask no questions. Ninety seven months ninety five.
Speaker 1: In that year three young Englishmen joined us. One of
Speaker 1: them died of dysentery two years ago, and see their rage.
Speaker 1: One of them deserted eighty months ago, and we have
Speaker 1: been unable to praise him. He turned his magical Who
Speaker 1: brought you into my officers? Now? As he is? I
Speaker 1: would say about three inches shorter than Douglas Milton. And
Speaker 1: men do not swak the foreign leature day, Colonel, they
Speaker 1: do not miss yours. And the fellow who deserted must
Speaker 1: be our man, unless it's the one who died of dysentery.
Speaker 1: Colonel de Brisson, how would you advise us to say
Speaker 1: about trying to find a deserter, Miss Holmes? There's only
Speaker 1: one place in Algeria where a man can hide from
Speaker 1: the final legion and remaining. What's that place? The Caspai
Speaker 1: in Lgs, and that's our destination. Watson't be very careful, please, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: The Cosby is a place where the law is exiled.
Speaker 1: The police have no jurisdiction there. The only rule is
Speaker 1: that of strength, violence, and very cautious. I assure you
Speaker 1: good bye, Colonel Brison, and thank you for your help.
Speaker 2: Well, I must say that I think Colonel de Briston rather.
Speaker 1: Exaggerated the dangers of the kaspar.
Speaker 3: I suppose you're going to tell me this cafe is
Speaker 3: the headquarters for a.
Speaker 1: Dope smuggling ring, or like slaving or something. It's ramifications
Speaker 1: even more extensive than those you've mentioned. You're joking home.
Speaker 1: I assure you I'm not, old fellow. My old friend
Speaker 1: Juamo is the chief of police officers. When I told
Speaker 1: him I mission, he advised me to come here a
Speaker 1: five hundred franc note, and the proparer can obtain any
Speaker 1: and all information regarding the underworld, but as little as
Speaker 1: two hundred francs in original murder. So I give you
Speaker 1: an idea of the relative values the kaspar who loved
Speaker 1: Then you've already spoken to the propano. Oh yes, yes,
Speaker 1: a charming scoundrel, the fellow to the name of Raffi.
Speaker 1: I gave him five hundred francs and asked him to
Speaker 1: city his underworld Greek by in motion to see whether
Speaker 1: an Englishman living and hiding here in the kasbar could
Speaker 1: be found. I thought you'd come here with a quat meal. Say,
Speaker 1: I'm RAPPI now top has new prus jelly a RAPI
Speaker 1: come to dam? Won't you ask you? What's fast? Does enough?
Speaker 5: Mister Holmes eight years friends, my friend that you're working
Speaker 5: with me. I drink first. The tongue of raffee is fast.
Speaker 5: Would you have me die of first before I give
Speaker 5: you my news?
Speaker 1: Very more cassis? Huh you have news for me then?
Speaker 1: But yes, first you will pay me more money. Now
Speaker 1: I give you five hundred. Thanks. You said that you
Speaker 1: do the job for that. Can I help it? If
Speaker 1: some tongues are more costly to make wag than others.
Speaker 1: It took the five hundred.
Speaker 5: To get the wag. Am I to have nothing for
Speaker 5: my own trouble or very RAPPI par good good, Hey,
Speaker 5: the gentleman.
Speaker 1: Will pay for hey are missing? I will drink to
Speaker 1: your health. Gentlemen, both of you you will pay me
Speaker 1: more money.
Speaker 2: No, but my friends already given you five hundred. You
Speaker 2: should stick to your bar.
Speaker 5: My good fellow, my information is a bargain at seven
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty tanks. It would be a bar at
Speaker 5: one thousand, but Raffie will let you have it for
Speaker 5: seven hundred and fifty because he likes you.
Speaker 1: You will give it to me, nous.
Speaker 5: Then you get no information, and perhaps I spread news
Speaker 5: in the casbar that makes it uncomfortable for you gentlemen
Speaker 5: to be there.
Speaker 1: Well, Scott, this is blackmail. I get the money. No,
Speaker 1: you're a scandal, of course, I'm miss here's your money
Speaker 1: and information. There is it.
Speaker 5: The englishman hiding here in the casbar. I do not
Speaker 5: know his name, but he's stolen fair head. I cannot
Speaker 5: tell you where he lives. But if you go to
Speaker 5: the cafe of one thousand size, you will find a girl.
Speaker 1: Loose things there. A girl lose sings like a nightingale.
Speaker 1: Her name is Ayisha, and she can lead you to
Speaker 1: your English girl named Asha the cafe of a thousand size.
Speaker 1: That is right.
Speaker 5: I would suggest that you go there in dis guys.
Speaker 5: Two well dressed englishmen might find themselves in trouble. For
Speaker 5: a small feet, say two hundred francs, I will escort.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, I think we can manage by ourselves. Rockey.
Speaker 5: Oh well, if your business is completed quickly and time
Speaker 5: weighs heavy on your hands, and I think it can
Speaker 5: take you to some places of very interesting dancing pros
Speaker 5: that wither want's eyeballs with their beauty.
Speaker 1: For five hundred francs. Gentlemen, Thank you, thank you. I
Speaker 1: have a feeling that I will not way heavily on
Speaker 1: our hands. Good night. You work too hard, gentlemen. You
Speaker 1: should learn how to play good night on my soul.
Speaker 1: I think that follows the biggest blagod. I quite agree
Speaker 1: with Jepany. He is amusing. By the way, Holmes it
Speaker 1: do you.
Speaker 3: Think that when this case is finished we might have
Speaker 3: a time on our hand?
Speaker 1: Wat And you're incorrigible, but I think, what's what is it?
Speaker 1: The man's sitting over in the corner by himself, Hi, Joe. Yes,
Speaker 1: his face seems familiar. We've seen him before someone of
Speaker 1: course we know his name is Oliver Leaving. We met
Speaker 1: him at the inquest on the Montreiler case, so we
Speaker 1: did I want knows do you suppose he's doing here
Speaker 1: in the Castler not on a holiday? I'm firm, mister
Speaker 1: Oliver Leaning if you recall us a cousin that Douglas
Speaker 1: Milton's the management men. We are searching for If Multon
Speaker 1: were ever a declared lidid, mister leaning over, there would inherit.
Speaker 2: The title looks to me as if we're not the
Speaker 2: only people in the casper who are searching for the
Speaker 2: missing air.
Speaker 1: That's true, brother, Come on, he's going to talk to
Speaker 1: the gentleman Starliver leaving Iry ought to meet you here? Well,
Speaker 1: will shall our combs and Dr Watson? Won't you sit down?
Speaker 6: Thank you?
Speaker 1: Well? The small places this sit all has? Somebody said
Speaker 1: that before I wanted to do spot the overhealth caller.
Speaker 1: Oh you saw yourself. Of course you seem to be
Speaker 1: in such a deep conversation about scandal, Ralphie. I didn't
Speaker 1: like to deserve you you. I'm sure. Why are you here, Mistimingo,
Speaker 1: I'm making a business trip. This is my day, or
Speaker 1: as I recall it, you are in the publishing business. Correct?
Speaker 1: What a memory you would have? It seems secular that
Speaker 1: you should have been on a business trip here. Are
Speaker 1: you planning on opening a publishing house and out jairs
Speaker 1: or are you searching the cosmos and new authors? Why not?
Speaker 1: I'm a great believer in encouraging new talent. Mister Living,
Speaker 1: Why don't you admit the charge here for the express
Speaker 1: purpose of trying to find your cousin, Douglas Milton's. Mister Holmes,
Speaker 1: you've discovered my secret. The great Shararck Homes and his
Speaker 1: watch dog have their eight eyes on me. They know
Speaker 1: that I succeed to the title if Douglas Milton died. Yes,
Speaker 1: mister leaving me know that fact. And you have fathomed
Speaker 1: my plan to find Douglas before me and killing so
Speaker 1: that I may inherit the title. How lucky I am
Speaker 1: to meet you in more Haasba or you cannot arrest me. Well,
Speaker 1: so it's against time, gentlemen, but I have a head start,
Speaker 1: as you will soon find out. Goodbye, I'm the best
Speaker 1: of luck for you, strewing the full of He's joking,
Speaker 1: of course, I believe not Watson. I think he labors
Speaker 1: under the physical belief that the best method of discounting
Speaker 1: the truth is to stated as boldly so that it
Speaker 1: will not be believed. Great Captain, we must work fast, yes,
Speaker 1: or Jepri must. I'm sure the very entrance in a
Speaker 1: race against death m skip back to the hotel. Meant
Speaker 1: badisguises as quickly as possible after best which will visit
Speaker 1: a young lady named Aisha and the cafere of a
Speaker 1: thousand size. And I'm certain Watson that they moved to
Speaker 1: the first time two men of Everent of the Kasbah
Speaker 1: for the express purpose of preventing a murder. We'll hear
Speaker 1: the rest of doctor Watson's story in just about a second,
Speaker 1: which gives me time to remind you that if you
Speaker 1: like the flavor of big, plump, juicy muscat grapes, you'll
Speaker 1: love the flavor of Patrie California Muscatel. What a wine?
Speaker 1: Patrie musketel is the perfect actor dinner wine. It looks good,
Speaker 1: Hell's better than it looks when it comes to the
Speaker 1: taste apartment, Well, you never tasted anything like it for
Speaker 1: a really good wine. Remember first Petree, then Muscatel, Petree Muscatel. Well,
Speaker 1: doctor I can hardly wait to hear what happened next.
Speaker 1: You and Sherlock Holmes went back to the hotel.
Speaker 2: I suppose, yes, ttell Holmes quickly adopted the disguise of
Speaker 2: an Arab guide. Well, I assumed the role of a tourist,
Speaker 2: and we started off on our search. Outside the Cafe.
Speaker 1: Of one thousand size, we met the rude shop. Good lord,
Speaker 1: it's a fellow. We met macafe, Yes for the knife
Speaker 1: between the shoulders. He's dead. Home. Didn't we get in
Speaker 1: touch with the police. What can they do? Remember there's
Speaker 1: no law on the kasta. And in case this man
Speaker 1: is beyond high help, my job is to protect the living.
Speaker 1: Come on, old fellow, let's go to the cafe of
Speaker 1: a thousand size and find this girl Asha. The girl,
Speaker 1: Rafi says, sings like a nighty ay so he shot

Speaker 1: My friend and I have come in search of an
Speaker 1: Englishman the name of Douglas Milton. We have good news

Speaker 1: That he has been cleared of suspicion of murder, and
Speaker 1: that he is the rightful Earl of Montrada. That means
Speaker 1: when he knows.

Speaker 1: exceeded in my mission. Now do you do so? This
Speaker 1: is very exciting. Here's that education costs? For a drinker?
Speaker 1: Will it be, gentlemen? I think a glass of port? Yes,
Speaker 1: it would be the most appropriate. Thod toasting the New
Speaker 1: Earth on trailer, splendid, splendid, aisha spring glasses and.
Speaker 8: A bottle of port and some kremdmouth for me.
Speaker 3: You are not going to England.
Speaker 1: I will never let you leave me, no stopping some
Speaker 1: melodramatic eyesha. Please bring two bottles and some glasses. Very well.
Speaker 1: I am sorry, mister Holmes.
Speaker 8: I can't tell you how I appreciate your trouble in
Speaker 8: coming all this way to find me. I must tell
Speaker 8: you at once there's one problem that makes it difficult for.
Speaker 1: Me to do this country. You see, I deserted from
Speaker 1: foreign engunyars, he says. We know that, my boy. In fact,
Speaker 1: that's how we first got onto your trail. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: let that back, wiriyam, miss Milton. I'm certain the British
Speaker 1: consul and now Jairs can arrange to have any charges
Speaker 1: dropped against the peerod of the realm oh I thought
Speaker 1: of that.
Speaker 8: The bottles you must excuse the glasses, gentlemen, tumblers are
Speaker 8: hardly I suppose that, well, they won't spoil the flavor.
Speaker 1: I'm sure two glasses of.
Speaker 8: Port and uh crimbed amount to me only three glasses.
Speaker 1: Aisha, bring a glass for yourself. I do not wish
Speaker 1: to drink, and I insist that you do bring a glass. Asia,
Speaker 1: Why should I drink? If you are leaving? Milton? Do
Speaker 1: you know all about leaving? Oh?
Speaker 8: Of course is my cousin, as he came here half
Speaker 8: an hour ago and threatened me.
Speaker 1: You also know that he's lying dead in the street murdered.
Speaker 8: Oh yes, yes, I did if we went in the
Speaker 8: cars bar I wouldn't tell you this, but Aisha stabbed him.
Speaker 8: She followed him when he left here He'll live, and
Speaker 8: then stepped back just in time to sing a song
Speaker 8: a few moments ago. Oh you needn't look so shocked,
Speaker 8: doctor Watson. Life is cheap in the cosper, and Naisha
Speaker 8: is a girl of violent passions. Come on, let's let's
Speaker 8: drink attest to the new Earl of Montraba cat.
Speaker 1: Oh, excuse me, sir, you took the wrong glass. You
Speaker 1: drinking my foot silliness.
Speaker 8: I can't bear what they English of me, I'm afraid,
Speaker 8: but well, after all these years, I don't feel particularly English.
Speaker 8: In fact, I'll probably find it very hard to adjust
Speaker 8: myself to the old life when I go back, Or
Speaker 8: perhaps I should say, if I go back and.
Speaker 1: To feel that way about it, mister Milton, why go?
Speaker 1: You can take title the revenues of the estate without
Speaker 1: leading Algeria, but stay here and live on the income.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that would be possible. You sure I
Speaker 1: could do that? Oh, yes, I'm quite certain of it.
Speaker 1: But if you doubt my word, I suggest be all
Speaker 1: adjourned to the British Consulate and our jeers they can
Speaker 1: put your straight on the mat on. That's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Let's go over there at once. No, no, I've been
Speaker 1: listening to you, my friend. You are planning to leave
Speaker 1: me once you go from the cause, but I shall
Speaker 1: never see you again. Put down that night, by issue,
Speaker 1: I will not let you go. You will belong to me.
Speaker 8: If you try to leave me now, I will kill
Speaker 8: you down that night, by issue. You've done enough damage
Speaker 8: for one night.
Speaker 1: Down. She twisted the knife on herself as she fell,
Speaker 1: Holmes helping me to turn her over. She's dead, mister Milton,
Speaker 1: who are you sure it's the bloody path that leads
Speaker 1: to the Montrevor title. Sir, I suggest to you see
Speaker 1: that the poor girl's body is taken care of, and
Speaker 1: then go to the British Consulate. About any further delay.
Speaker 1: Now that we're at the Consolateitor Milton, I suggest that
Speaker 1: you swear on oath that you are Douglas Milton, heir
Speaker 1: to the Montrevorer's state. This gentleman as a commissioner of oaths,
Speaker 1: and we can go in and see the console. Very well,
Speaker 1: rise right hand please and repeat after me. I hereby
Speaker 1: solemnly swear that I am Douglas Milton, the missing here
Speaker 1: to the montreevoy State.
Speaker 8: I hear, I swear that I am Douglas Milton, missing
Speaker 8: heir to the Montrevora's State.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, And now if you'll sign the statement
Speaker 1: here these gentlemen the witnessing are you huh? Thank you sir.
Speaker 1: And now if you gentlemen will sign certainly? Now, thank you, gentlemen.
Speaker 1: The document is now legal splendid. Let's go over and
Speaker 1: see the console. Not yet, my friend Watson, this man
Speaker 1: is not Douglas Milton. What the devil are you talking about?
Speaker 1: There is no law on the cast Bowser, so you
Speaker 1: cannot be punished in the two mirrors' committed there. But
Speaker 1: now that your avarice has tempted you here to Algiers,
Speaker 1: where you've been foolish enough to sign a false statement,
Speaker 1: I think we can at least settle you very nicely
Speaker 1: for desertion, false impersonation, forchery and perjury. What do you
Speaker 1: mean the story should be of this book? Fellow alaplinin
Speaker 1: did track down the deserter. Recognition was uncertain after so
Speaker 1: many years, but at least it gave this gentleman the
Speaker 1: idea of impersonating the real Douglas Milton, a friend of his.
Speaker 8: You have a lively imagination stone real Douglas Milton.
Speaker 1: I'd have dysentery two years ago and see their rife.
Speaker 1: Was the idea of impersonating noteson was born leaning had
Speaker 1: to die.
Speaker 8: Your theories are very interesting, but you haven't a shred
Speaker 8: of proof. I say that I'm Douglas Nilton.
Speaker 1: How are you gonna prove otherwise? That is simply my
Speaker 1: dear sir, Douglas Moltiple a painter, A painter who accepled
Speaker 1: in the use of vivid colors. You, sir, suffer from
Speaker 1: a quite common malady of a red green color blindness.
Speaker 1: Less than an hour ago, you mist took a glass
Speaker 1: of port, which is red, but a glass of crane Demon,
Speaker 1: which is green. I hear at once that you were
Speaker 1: an impostor Clara, than I thought you were. Homes good Bye, here,
Speaker 1: come back, Oh Watson, don't go after him. But if
Speaker 1: we can't at him, escape Homes. Don't worry, Old Chap,
Speaker 1: he won't escape. I sent a message to Cuddel the
Speaker 1: bron If you go to the window, I think you
Speaker 1: will find that the consulate is being watched. The legion
Speaker 1: has a long memory for desertion. I don't think he'll
Speaker 1: get very fine.
Speaker 3: They got him home, shot him as he was trying
Speaker 3: to run away.
Speaker 1: I just death for him, lived the life of balance
Speaker 1: and treachery. Watson John. It fitting that he should in
Speaker 1: the same manner. Doctor, That was a swell story. But
Speaker 1: you know something, I wish you hadn't disillusioned me about
Speaker 1: the Kasvar would you mean? Well, before I heard your story,
Speaker 1: whenever somebody mentioned the Kasva is visualized a very glamorous,
Speaker 1: dramatic sort of place full of beautiful women, every one
Speaker 1: of them a ringer for Hettie Lamar. No. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I could just see myself, handsome, dashing, going up one
Speaker 1: of those beautiful girls and whispering in my fine French accent. Darling,
Speaker 1: you're a sensation, lovely, gorgeous. Telling me, have you ever
Speaker 1: tried Petrie wine? It's wonderful. Well, you must admit, doctor,
Speaker 1: that that is the truth. It is wonderful what it
Speaker 1: certainly ought to be. After all, wine making has been

Speaker 1: in the eighteen hundreds. For generations, the Petrie family has
Speaker 1: handed down from father to son, from father to son,
Speaker 1: the fine art turning luscious sun, ripe and grapes and fragrant,
Speaker 1: delicious wine. And don't forget because the making of Petrie
Speaker 1: wine is a family affair. The letters P E, T
Speaker 1: R I on a bottle of wine are the personal
Speaker 1: assurance of the Petrie family that every drop of wine
Speaker 1: in that bottle is good wine. So no matter what

Speaker 1: go wrong with a Petrie wine because Petrie took time
Speaker 1: to bring you good wine. Well, doctor, now I suppose
