Speaker 1: Pet Tree Wine brings you.
Speaker 2: Basil Rothbone and Nigel.
Speaker 3: Brooks and the new adventures of Sherlock Holme.
Speaker 4: The Petrie family, the family that took time to bring
Speaker 4: you good wine, invites you to listen to doctor Watson
Speaker 4: tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend,
Speaker 4: that master detective Sherlock Home. And right now, I'd like
Speaker 4: to just briefly mention an idea you autify tomorrow night,
Speaker 4: just before you sit down to dinner, just for yourself.
Speaker 5: A glass of.
Speaker 4: That good pet Tree California Sherrif Petrie Shechffy is the
Speaker 4: perfect before dinner wine. It's cheerful, glowing amber color, looks
Speaker 4: festive and this sort of lends an air of importance
Speaker 4: to the accase.
Speaker 5: And as for the.
Speaker 4: Wine itself, just taste it at Petrie sherry, not just
Speaker 4: ordinary wine, no sir one sip and you know that
Speaker 4: wonderful sun ripened grapes went into its making, yes, and
Speaker 4: you know that Petrie Sherry was carefully watched over every
Speaker 4: step of the way. Incidentally, Petrie makes two kinds of
Speaker 4: Sherrif regular sherry and Petree Pale dry. If you're not
Speaker 4: sure just which kind you and your friends will like
Speaker 4: best try them both.
Speaker 1: Don't buy one, buy two.
Speaker 4: But when it comes to sherry or any other wine
Speaker 4: for that matter, be sure you always buy Petrick. And
Speaker 4: now I'm certain our good friend doctor Watson's waiting for us.
Speaker 4: Let's go and enjoy it.
Speaker 3: You are, it's about too until two minutes as.
Speaker 4: Always, Well, this is one doctor's appointment I'm eager to keep.
Speaker 6: I should say so, my boss, drow up the usual turn,
Speaker 6: make yourself comfortable.
Speaker 5: Thanks well, doctor, today's.
Speaker 2: April the first?
Speaker 4: Did anyone try and play any jolts on it?
Speaker 3: But I'm happy to say that nobody not. As in
Speaker 3: the story that.
Speaker 6: I'm going to tell you tonight, But in April Fool's
Speaker 6: dead prank certainness called the bullseye.
Speaker 4: I see you have the dispatch box out again, doctor,
Speaker 4: then refreshing your memory, Yes, I tell him.
Speaker 6: When I tell you the adventure took eighteen hundred and
Speaker 6: eighty one, I think you will agree.
Speaker 3: That after such a lapse of time, a man can
Speaker 3: hardly rely on memory alone.
Speaker 4: Eighteen eighty one, And I said it must have been
Speaker 4: one of the really early it was.
Speaker 6: Indeed, in fact, the exact it took place only a
Speaker 6: little while after Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 3: And I had first met and had taken up lodging
Speaker 3: for Giller.
Speaker 4: How was the great detective in use earlier found mistress?
Speaker 3: Me give you an example, my boy, I've shared the bigest.
Speaker 6: Sweet lodgings with him for over a month before I
Speaker 6: was even certain of his profession, the knowledge of which
Speaker 6: I learned from my awe and astonishment.
Speaker 3: But our first adventure together took place.
Speaker 4: That was the one you call the study in scar
Speaker 4: wasn't it?
Speaker 3: After memory?
Speaker 6: But even after that adventure, I found myself wondering at
Speaker 6: times what I let myself in for sharing lodgings with
Speaker 6: a strange companion. Because in one of those moods of
Speaker 6: doubt and confusion that my story begins. Late one March evening,
Speaker 6: I found myself the neighborhood have figured in the circus.
Speaker 6: It was cold and the steady drizzle of rain had
Speaker 6: dampened my spirits.
Speaker 3: I took the glass of wine.
Speaker 6: And the sound of music would put me in a
Speaker 6: better mood and confirm with the bottle, I entered the
Speaker 6: Criterion restaurant.
Speaker 3: As I sat with a glass of.
Speaker 6: Rare vintage poke at my elbow, the Orchester playing a
Speaker 6: dreamstars waltz in the background.
Speaker 3: I couldn't help thinking of the last time that i'd
Speaker 3: been there.
Speaker 6: It was a night time met a young medical student
Speaker 6: by the name of Stamford. He was the man who
Speaker 6: first introduced it through Sherlock Home. Suddenly I put a
Speaker 6: tap on my shoulder. I turned, and to my amazement,
Speaker 6: once again, the young Stamford was turning before.
Speaker 1: Or should I say, doctor Watson, how are you my
Speaker 1: dead chef?
Speaker 3: Hello, Stamford comes to dark.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 1: I'm goad to see that you're not holding any grudge
Speaker 1: against me.
Speaker 3: Why else would I do that?
Speaker 5: For introducing yidish.
Speaker 1: Clark Holmes, I've reproached myself ever since. I think he's
Speaker 1: as mad as a.
Speaker 3: Heap centric in fact, elims that he is eccentric. But
Speaker 3: he's an extremely interesting fuller. He'll make a big diff
Speaker 3: for himself as a private detector. One of these days
Speaker 3: you'll see if I'm not right stuff.
Speaker 1: I saw something about him in the paper the other day,
Speaker 1: The Last and.
Speaker 3: Gardens of Yes, Yes, it was quite brilliant.
Speaker 6: I must for the times with like a fiend as
Speaker 6: a rule, in case the ex sets in the days
Speaker 6: of the time rely on our sofa, Harget, I think
Speaker 6: a word on moving a muscle from morning to night.
Speaker 1: I think he takes himself too seriously. That's how would
Speaker 1: you like to join in.
Speaker 3: A little plot pot against home?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, just the rag. You know we thought it'd
Speaker 1: be rather fun. We Thursday and night. We were just
Speaker 1: talking about it. I'll call him over thirdy.
Speaker 7: Maybe i've seen him before something I'm sure you must
Speaker 7: have done.
Speaker 1: He's been around at the hospital, and anytime you go
Speaker 1: in the British Museum you'll find him there. Nice fellow,
Speaker 1: but don't de doe.
Speaker 5: Yes, Stamford.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is a friend of mine, John Watson. This
Speaker 1: is James Murphy.
Speaker 3: How do I think? Don't see you at the hospital?
Speaker 8: And I know I've seen you, doctor wats Oh, sit
Speaker 8: down and come and join us.
Speaker 5: Thank you man.
Speaker 1: I was just telling Watson about our little plot.
Speaker 6: Oh you mean about look here, I'd like you for
Speaker 6: us to realize that Holmes is a very good friend
Speaker 6: of mine.
Speaker 8: Oh, don't worry, Watson, this is all in good fun.
Speaker 5: Don't you realize what the date is? Tomorrow?
Speaker 3: First three April kids, April Fool's Day. Oh no, I
Speaker 3: see you're going to play an April Fool's Day joke
Speaker 3: on on home. Yes, that's our plans.
Speaker 7: Well it's hardly our plans, camp, but it's very lady
Speaker 7: Anne Parkinton's idea. You see, Holmes is very rude to
Speaker 7: her when she visited the hospital recently and she wants to,
Speaker 7: you know, take him down a peg.
Speaker 3: And this is enough. But I must say he isn't
Speaker 3: planned to be rather elegant to time. Well, what's what's
Speaker 3: the plan?
Speaker 8: We'll need your health, what's you must be careful not
Speaker 8: to get the joke away.
Speaker 7: I'll bet you a fiver that Holmes falls for the
Speaker 7: whole story, Black and Sinker.
Speaker 5: Now here's exactly what we're planning to do.
Speaker 8: Lady Anne is going to call on.
Speaker 5: Homes at fat to speak of the boys to see
Speaker 5: me in my professional capacity.
Speaker 9: Surely, my dear man, you didn't exist was a social call.
Speaker 9: That's too rude to me at the hospital the other day.
Speaker 2: For that that was the point I was trying to make.
Speaker 3: This need to take this churmant ready follow the most
Speaker 3: comfortable room.
Speaker 9: Thank you, doctor Watts.
Speaker 2: And now what can I do to help you?
Speaker 9: You've heard of the Elfinstone Emerald?
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, yes, indeed a magnificent stone, a very considerable value,
Speaker 2: an heirloom in your family. I believe, yes, mister Holmes.
Speaker 9: I keep it in a wall safe in my bedroom.
Speaker 9: This morning, when I had occasion to go to the safe,
Speaker 9: I discovered that the emerald had been.
Speaker 3: Stolen Scott shocking business. Of course, you want us to
Speaker 3: Homes to recover it.
Speaker 2: Oil and remarkable deduction, I did, sir, Lydianne, are any
Speaker 2: work in the safe? Do you observe any signs of
Speaker 2: it having been tampered with?
Speaker 9: I think it's rather stupid to shit and answer questions
Speaker 9: here in Baker Street. Why don't you come up to
Speaker 9: my house in Caveny Square and examine the safe for yourself.
Speaker 2: You are a detective, aren't you? Just now? You accuse
Speaker 2: me of rudeness. I assure you that mine, at least
Speaker 2: was unintentional.
Speaker 3: Come, come, come home.
Speaker 9: I can promise you a substantial.
Speaker 3: Fame after Homes.
Speaker 2: I'm a struggling practitioner and a new Professionally, my poverty,
Speaker 2: but not my will concerns.
Speaker 9: I pay thy poverty and not thy will you see
Speaker 9: I can throw it my Shakespeare at Tom, mister Holmes,
Speaker 9: my carriage is waiting to gentlemen, let's drive over the
Speaker 9: Cabindy square at once shall This is the wall safe.
Speaker 2: Mister, home difficult and safety track for an expert. You
Speaker 2: paid the emerald in it last night, you say.
Speaker 9: Yes, when I went to bed, and this morning it
Speaker 9: had gone at homes.
Speaker 6: This is a good occasion to use that magnifying glass
Speaker 6: that you're always fit about.
Speaker 2: Instant occasion, my dear doctor. That's why I brought it
Speaker 2: with me. Mm hmm. That's very interesting.
Speaker 6: What is this safe?
Speaker 2: Was opened by an experts? The sign if it's having
Speaker 2: been forced?
Speaker 5: Hello, what a bit of st there's.
Speaker 2: A peculiar tarnish hom steel knob. It was obviously handled
Speaker 2: by someone whose fingers are habitually stained with chemical. Amazing home,
Speaker 2: I mention, my dear doctor, what does that dolly do?
Speaker 3: My good one.
Speaker 2: I should like to examine it if I may.
Speaker 5: But of course.
Speaker 9: What this is the most beautiful April fools apro and
Speaker 9: I've ever played.
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 6: He has food and thinker that's the same. I'm beginning
Speaker 6: to feel guilty. I can't help feeling a bit disloyal.
Speaker 3: If it's all in fun, temper and mister Murphy listening.
Speaker 9: Yes, the next door in my drawing room. I'm sure
Speaker 9: their ears are positively glued to the keyhole.
Speaker 3: Her homes of a comes there.
Speaker 2: The windows haven't been tampered with. We may presume, therefore,
Speaker 2: that the thief did not enter by an upstairs window.
Speaker 2: Lydia Anne, Yes, this room is not being touched since
Speaker 2: you discovered your loss.
Speaker 9: Oh no, I told the servants to leave it exactly
Speaker 9: as it was. Well, I can't set.
Speaker 2: You blendy figure that. Uh, the thief was a tall
Speaker 2: man with.
Speaker 3: A long stride. Come, come, come, homes.
Speaker 6: I know your methods, but there aren't Dennis footprints on
Speaker 6: this carpet that that you can identify, even with your magnifying.
Speaker 2: I've studied many kinds, and I've never seen one yet
Speaker 2: that was committed by a flying creature. As long as
Speaker 2: the criminal remains on its two legs, there must be
Speaker 2: some some typing displacement can be detected by a keen observer.
Speaker 2: I assure you that the match on this carpet indicate
Speaker 2: that the thief firm was a tall man with a
Speaker 2: long stride.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: This is a protagoash five tobacco dag tobacco that cells
Speaker 2: that opens the mount.
Speaker 9: Now, really, mister Holmes, how can you possibly identify an
Speaker 9: individual tobacco.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's poppied mine intactus even written a monograph on
Speaker 2: the subject. Now one more look at the face? Hello,
Speaker 2: what's this part of you? But it was it trace
Speaker 2: of Robin lydy Anne. I suggest you get in touch
Speaker 2: with Scott and jab at once. You mean that you've
Speaker 2: solved at home, I mean, not your doctor. But I
Speaker 2: can give you a reasonably complete picture of the thief.
Speaker 2: And that picture is so individual that I'd be surprised
Speaker 2: if it would fit more than one man in London.
Speaker 9: Right, this is pure magic, mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: Please describe him to it.
Speaker 2: Well, he's a tall man, the wit, this pride indicates that.
Speaker 3: And he's then what enables you to tell that.
Speaker 2: His footprints have made a remarkably like indentation on the
Speaker 2: nap of the carpet. Thief devils extensively in chemicals, as
Speaker 2: indicated by the tarnishing of the knob on the safe,
Speaker 2: and the faces of rosin would suggest that he plays
Speaker 2: the violin. Also the smokeshag Tobacco has a great practical
Speaker 2: knowledge the ways of combination, locks, and he's obviously in
Speaker 2: close contact with the criminal classes. How do you know that, mister, Well,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't see the famous Sternalis. You have to dispose
Speaker 2: of it through some trustworthy sense.
Speaker 6: Yes, it's a very comprehensive picture, Homes. I almost feel
Speaker 6: about you the.
Speaker 2: Thank you, doctor. I'm sure there's only one man in
Speaker 2: London and it shouldn't be hard to trace him.
Speaker 5: I agree entirely, mister Holmes.
Speaker 9: Doc to Watson, I think the joke has gone far enough.
Speaker 2: Joke, what do you mean just to talk quite right?
Speaker 3: Homes and thinking there's only one such man in.
Speaker 6: London, You've just given a perfect description of yourself.
Speaker 9: April, fool, doctor Temford, mister Murphy.
Speaker 10: April, come along here into the drawing room.
Speaker 9: Everyone, let us drink a glass of wine. Mister Holmes,
Speaker 9: who were so graciously forgiveness that the little trick we
Speaker 9: played on him, And also to doctor Stemford thought of the.
Speaker 3: Whole idea, no hard feelings with Homes, no doctor.
Speaker 2: It was a rather and doubting experience.
Speaker 3: And Murphy told me about the plan. I just couldn't
Speaker 3: resist joining him.
Speaker 1: Oh, here you are, Holmes, here's a drink.
Speaker 2: Thank you, dampan You know, Murphy, do you No? I
Speaker 2: don't think.
Speaker 5: How'd you do? How did you like the little game
Speaker 5: we played on you?
Speaker 2: It was rather a salutary experience. I suppose you gave
Speaker 2: them all the details to build up the picture of me.
Speaker 6: Hey, Dotr, I did Holmes annoying some of your methods.
Speaker 6: You tried to plant every clue that you.
Speaker 2: Would pick up A very neat job to an incidentally
Speaker 2: perfect example of the dangers of deductions based on purely
Speaker 2: circumstances evidence. I shall profit from this little lesson.
Speaker 4: I must say it was worth a fortunate Emeralds to
Speaker 4: see your face homes when you realize you're done well.
Speaker 3: A jokes over now, by the way, where is lady Anne?
Speaker 7: I believe she said she was going to fetch the
Speaker 7: offinstone emerald. She thought you might be interested in seeing it.
Speaker 2: It probably feels the sign that yourself I wounded.
Speaker 5: Back to you.
Speaker 1: Oh here she comes? Now home?
Speaker 2: What's happened lady the emerald?
Speaker 1: It's not where I hit it this time.
Speaker 9: It's really stolen.
Speaker 4: Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a few seconds,
Speaker 4: so I've just time to remind you that there are many,
Speaker 4: many different types of wine. But if you want one
Speaker 4: wine that's fine for almost any occasion, then you want
Speaker 4: Petrie California's sherry. Petrie sherry is fine before dinner, of course,
Speaker 4: but Petrie sherry is good after dinner too, and it's
Speaker 4: the perfect wine for cocktail time or anytime friends drop in.
Speaker 4: Everybody will love the real heart of the great flavor
Speaker 4: you get in every sip of Petrie sherry. And you
Speaker 4: can serve Petrie Sherry.
Speaker 1: Proudly because those letters P E.
Speaker 4: T R I spell the proudest name in the history
Speaker 4: of American wine, Petree Wine. Doctor Watson, your April full
Speaker 4: Day plot kind of backfired on you, didn't, It's.
Speaker 6: About to tell it was the perfect example of the
Speaker 6: fit bit.
Speaker 4: What happened next? I suppose Sherlock Holmes went into action
Speaker 4: once again.
Speaker 3: It's about all. It tadened my heart to see the
Speaker 3: change in the.
Speaker 6: Poor I confess I've felt rather ashamed of my part
Speaker 6: in the prank, for I could see that Holmes his
Speaker 6: pride had been hurt, but now with a definite crime
Speaker 6: before him, the difference was amazing. He suddenly became a dynamo,
Speaker 6: galvanized in action.
Speaker 3: As he stood there parting question.
Speaker 4: It was like yourself, you were this fresh hiding place.
Speaker 4: Both Mercy and I did yes.
Speaker 7: After we left our deliberate clues on the safe, we
Speaker 7: went with Lady Anne and saw us to creak the
Speaker 7: emerald and the top drive her dressing table.
Speaker 9: We thought it would be all right there. After all,
Speaker 9: as soon as the joke was over, I was going
Speaker 9: to put it back in the stage.
Speaker 2: I think I might just plan before we questioned the servants,
Speaker 2: would be for each one of you who were in
Speaker 2: this April funesday Frank to submit to being searched.
Speaker 4: Tone, surely you don't suggest that any one of us
Speaker 4: took the emeralds tip and I don't.
Speaker 2: But if any one of you fall are not guilty,
Speaker 2: this will be a splendid way of proving your innocence.
Speaker 6: I say, steady at homes to not suggesting Lady Anne
Speaker 6: stolen emeralds.
Speaker 2: Ah, mister, I'm suggesting nothing. That I may point out
Speaker 2: that the recent vogue for the insurance companies, it's provided
Speaker 2: another interesting motive for these so poor I resent your insinuation.
Speaker 2: It's out right, Lady Anne. If I'm to recover your emerald,
Speaker 2: I must please consider every divisibility. The search is the
Speaker 2: most immediate practical action. Perhaps you'll retire into the next room,
Speaker 2: and I persuade these gentlemen to submit to being searched.
Speaker 9: Very well, but I think you're in danger of making
Speaker 9: a fool of yourself.
Speaker 6: One.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, don't don't go, lady Anne. Search won't be necessary.
Speaker 7: What do you mean, Murpha, I must throw myself on
Speaker 7: your mercy, Lady Anne. I confess that I stole the
Speaker 7: Emerald Mercy after you put it in the drawer, lady,
Speaker 7: and I slipped back into the room and took it out.
Speaker 3: Murphy. That's a criminal action.
Speaker 5: I know it, but I'm poor.
Speaker 8: I need money desperately for my mathematical research.
Speaker 5: I knew the Emeralds prices. I couldn't resist the temptation
Speaker 5: to take.
Speaker 7: Advantage of a joke. Yeah, lady Anne, here's the stone.
Speaker 7: Please don't prosecute me. Please, don't it been my ruin?
Speaker 2: May I exact in the emerald en? Thank you?
Speaker 9: Well, mister Murphy. I won't pretend that I'm not deeply shocked.
Speaker 9: I must ask you to leave my house.
Speaker 8: But you won't prosecute me, will you. It was a
Speaker 8: moment's temptation.
Speaker 9: Noah, No, I won't prosecute you home.
Speaker 3: What are you doing with the emerald?
Speaker 2: Well, I'm something of the distant ways of thieves. I
Speaker 2: came on this case, but it prepared to test the
Speaker 2: emerald when I found it. Now a top of this
Speaker 2: acid from this vial.
Speaker 9: So, mister Holmes, what are you doing? You into the step?
Speaker 2: Noah, not, it's a true emerald?
Speaker 3: Ah, good lord, the ascidating to the stoness.
Speaker 2: If it was shugar, that means it means, lady, and
Speaker 2: that mister Murphy has just impeddaled his honor, his freedom
Speaker 2: to steal a singularly beautiful fake.
Speaker 9: Mister Holmes, this joke turned into a nightmare. Is there
Speaker 9: a way of covering my emeralds?
Speaker 2: I hope so, Lady Anne, I've been taking steps in
Speaker 2: their logical order. The servants have all been questioned. We've
Speaker 2: searched mister Stamford.
Speaker 7: And mister Murphy's most humiliating experience made me feel like
Speaker 7: a criminal.
Speaker 5: For personally, I was only too thankful to submit to
Speaker 5: a search. This time. I knew I had nothing to
Speaker 5: worry about.
Speaker 3: You yourself, Dadia. I knew you've considered to being searched
Speaker 3: by the police. Maktron that Home sent forth only.
Speaker 9: Because he threatened to set for the police if I didn't.
Speaker 9: Oh distasteful though it was, I'd rather endure that than
Speaker 9: have this story on the front.
Speaker 2: Pages of the newspapers.
Speaker 1: And in spite of all these rather unfriendly proceedings, we've
Speaker 1: got exactly nowhere as regards finding the Emeralds.
Speaker 2: No Stamford. But we have at least eliminated the possibility
Speaker 2: that the thief is secreting the jewel on his person.
Speaker 3: Still somewhere in these two rooms stay.
Speaker 2: Home, I think so. Though there is one remaining possibility,
Speaker 2: and that is that the fake stone was substituted for
Speaker 2: the real emerald sometime before all of you engineered your
Speaker 2: April fools their joke.
Speaker 9: Oh no, mister Hee, that's not possible. I know it
Speaker 9: was the genuine Emerald. I took of the safe this morning.
Speaker 2: How can you be sure the substitute was an excellent
Speaker 2: imitation about a chemical test such as I performed, It
Speaker 2: would be hard to be certain.
Speaker 9: I can tell you why I'm certain. Last night Papa
Speaker 9: came to dinner and brought a mister Vanderlder of Amsterdam.
Speaker 9: He examined the stone, and you'll agree that a dual
Speaker 9: expert like that couldn't be fool.
Speaker 2: That's true, Lady Anne. And what did you do with
Speaker 2: the emerald after mister vander Lder left?
Speaker 9: I locked it in my safe and went to bed.
Speaker 9: I didn't unlock the safe again until doctor Stamford and
Speaker 9: mister Murphy came here this morning.
Speaker 3: That's settled. The real emerald is still hidden somewhere in
Speaker 3: these two rooms.
Speaker 1: But where that's the question.
Speaker 8: I must say, it's completely mystifying.
Speaker 2: Well, let's go back to what we were all doing
Speaker 2: at the exact moment you came into the room, Lady
Speaker 2: Anne and informed us at the loss of your stone.
Speaker 2: Now we were we would drinking toast to you, and
Speaker 2: it uh, Lady Anne hard thinking is well, it's thirsty work.
Speaker 9: I'm so sorry. Let me get you something a glass
Speaker 9: of court No, no.
Speaker 2: Thank you, but iya, I observe that you have a
Speaker 2: remarkably comprehensive assortment of the curves. I wonder if I
Speaker 2: might have a glass of cream demond.
Speaker 3: Oh, of course, I'll get it for it. Cream them
Speaker 3: all from the middle of down home.
Speaker 1: I knew you were eccentric, that is.
Speaker 9: It's awful it clings.
Speaker 2: As I picked it up. I thought it Dane, there's
Speaker 2: something inside. Allow me, Madam, thank you. I'm sure you
Speaker 2: would mind if they wastelessly cur on the aspidestra so
Speaker 2: dy Anne, allow me to restore to you the Elphinston
Speaker 2: Emerald Scott, a fantastic ingineers the one safe hiding place
Speaker 2: in the room. Where could a green gem be more
Speaker 2: effectively hidden than in a bottle of green? The curved?
Speaker 5: Who stole it?
Speaker 3: Who substituted the fake stone?
Speaker 9: Frankly, I don't care.
Speaker 3: The gem is restored.
Speaker 9: That that's all that matters.
Speaker 2: I prefer not to go to court.
Speaker 9: Neither you nor i, Mister Schola Colmbs would show up
Speaker 9: in a best of light, and my father will disapprove
Speaker 9: of this whole. Austair, I'm afraid just.
Speaker 2: As you wish they did.
Speaker 6: Am.
Speaker 2: In either case, I should expect your check for my
Speaker 2: services in due course.
Speaker 3: Here we are to cut here and again Stamford.
Speaker 1: But you come in and join us for lunch, please, watching,
Speaker 1: but I'll keep the cabin go on. I actually have
Speaker 1: patient this afternoon. A rare and delightful experience for a
Speaker 1: young doctor.
Speaker 3: You've probably known as rare and delightful.
Speaker 2: As I plan is for a young detector based down there,
Speaker 2: I quite understand, and I'm correspondingly grateful to you.
Speaker 1: If you're you're profitable, so I'm glad it was profitable
Speaker 1: for you. Personally, I feel pretty stupid about the whole thing.
Speaker 2: Well, goodbye, goodbye or goodbye to.
Speaker 3: Night Onst Square can be remarkably quick.
Speaker 7: I'm afraid my conscience won't let me too much talking doctor,
Speaker 7: I'm hardly ashamed of myself.
Speaker 5: Well, thanks for leftoff.
Speaker 2: I'll leave you Chap loves and cohnsense you'll join us
Speaker 2: for lunch Murphy, But no, that's about it, and says,
Speaker 2: come on, what happens off the nice of you?
Speaker 3: Oh, come, come, come, Murphy. Any one of us can
Speaker 3: make a foolish mistake. It's just lucky that you didn't
Speaker 3: have to pay for yours.
Speaker 2: Steve wishes the David, Yes, the three please disaways you?
Speaker 2: Does this debut please you? Excellent?
Speaker 3: Thank you George, and as hungry as a hunter, how
Speaker 3: about you, Murphy.
Speaker 5: I'm afraid I have very little appetite. This whole cases
Speaker 5: upset me dreadfully.
Speaker 2: You mustn't take it so much to heart. Matthy and
Speaker 2: by the way, doctor, i'd like to have your opinion
Speaker 2: on the case. Who do you think stage the theft
Speaker 2: of the emerald to defect the office?
Speaker 6: To me, Lady and Parlington did it herself to collect
Speaker 6: insurance money if she hadn't.
Speaker 3: She's insisted on your finding the thief. But you needn't worry,
Speaker 3: old Chap. You'll get your fee.
Speaker 2: All right, I'm sure, though I'm not worry about the fee.
Speaker 2: But I assure you Lady and did not engineered that
Speaker 2: broad today you you mean it was Stafford and tell
Speaker 2: him who was responsible? My dear Murvey, But how should
Speaker 2: I know, Comma Murby, Let's not sense any longer. You
Speaker 2: did an excellent job, a superlative job.
Speaker 5: I was almost sorry to disappointed for you. I don't
Speaker 5: think I understand your herds.
Speaker 2: You do, Marvi. You're a splendid actor too. I was
Speaker 2: so deeply touched when you were a parenty stone, a

Speaker 2: the hoax before it was arranged. Now, my dear doctor,
Speaker 2: when Stampers told you about the plan last night, whose
Speaker 2: idea did he say it was? He told me that
Speaker 2: was Lady and Parlington's plessis then, and yet Lady Anne
Speaker 2: referred today as Temper's idea. Obviously, you, my dear Murphy,
Speaker 2: presented the plan to each as the notion of the other,
Speaker 2: and so only you could have arranged the real theft
Speaker 2: behind the hoax. I repeat, a splendid job, mister Holmes.

Speaker 2: of Petrie California port held up to the light.
Speaker 6: Mister Buel, you can find more excuses talking about Petry.
Speaker 3: Wine than any man in the entire world. Believe me, excuses.
Speaker 4: I don't need an excuse to talk about Petrie wine.
Speaker 4: Why there's a wine that actually speaks for itself. If
Speaker 4: I may borrow a phrase from Shakespeare or somebody does,
Speaker 4: not the wine quite like Petree wine, because only Petree
Speaker 4: wine is made by the Petrie family, and the Petrie
Speaker 4: family has been making wine for generations they've been handing
Speaker 4: down from father to son, from father to son years
Speaker 4: than years of knowledge and experience, the fine art turning
Speaker 4: luscious grapes, the clear, fragrant, delicious wine. Yes, And because
Speaker 4: the making of Petrie wine is a family affair, those
Speaker 4: letters P. E. T R I on a bottle of
Speaker 4: wine are the personal assurance of the Petrie family that
Speaker 4: every drop of wine in that bottle is good wine.
