Speaker 1: through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.

Speaker 1: Raffle, Lockbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of

Speaker 1: doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with

Speaker 2: It, sir, thank you.
Speaker 3: That's it. By the way, do you know what date
Speaker 3: it is?
Speaker 2: November fifth, isn't it?
Speaker 3: That's right? In England it's known as Guy Fox Day.
Speaker 2: Do you ever heard there's something to do with a
Speaker 2: gunpowder plot? Isn't it?
Speaker 3: Yes, mister about tell it is.
Speaker 4: And as Sherlock Holmes and I had a very unusual
Speaker 4: venture on the fifth of November many years ago, it
Speaker 4: seems appropriate that I should tell you about it tonight
Speaker 4: before I begin. I think it might help you to
Speaker 4: appreciate the true flavor of the story if I tell
Speaker 4: you a little about the origin and the.
Speaker 3: Customs of Guy Fox Day.
Speaker 4: It's well well, my boy, on November the fifth, sixteen
Speaker 4: hundred and five, exactly three hundred and forty years ago today,
Speaker 4: King James the First was about to attend the opening
Speaker 4: of Parliament when the plot was discovered.
Speaker 3: They blow up the House of Lords during the.
Speaker 1: Ceremony, and the chief conspirator was Guy Fawkes. I suppose
Speaker 1: yes he was.
Speaker 4: He was captured in the vault immediately below the House
Speaker 4: of Lords, a vault full of barrels of gunpowder.
Speaker 3: Of course, he and his fellow conspirators were.
Speaker 4: Executed, and ever since then, remember the fifth has been
Speaker 4: known as Guy Fox Day.
Speaker 2: Well, how's it celebrated.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a great time for the youngsters, mister Bartel.
Speaker 4: They blacked their faces, throng the streets, begging for pennies
Speaker 4: and build bonfires in which to burn effiges of Guy Fox.
Speaker 4: These effiges are life sized dummies, stuffed with straw and
Speaker 4: dressed in old clothes.
Speaker 3: The children paraded them in the streets, chanting rhymes.
Speaker 4: Well let me see, please to remember the fifth of November,
Speaker 4: Guy Fox. Guy hit him in the eye.
Speaker 2: The kids must have quite a time, sort of like Halloween.
Speaker 3: It's not I unlike it, my boy.
Speaker 4: Well, now that I've told you something about the customs
Speaker 4: of Guy Fox Day.
Speaker 3: I'll get on with my story. It began just before lunch.
Speaker 4: I remember November the fifth, eighteen hundred and ninety nine.
Speaker 4: The day was foggy and cold, and Holmes and I
Speaker 4: seated each side of a.
Speaker 3: Blazing fire in our Baker Street rooms.
Speaker 4: From outside, we could hear the sound of voices laughing
Speaker 4: and singing. Suddenly Homes rose and crossed the window, opened
Speaker 4: it and looked out. Then he turned to me and spoke,
Speaker 4: Sten having a great time Watchnante. Yes, course they're stilling
Speaker 4: worth a phillas to walk here this morning.
Speaker 2: Has it occurred to you watching that be guns out
Speaker 2: of plus offer very.
Speaker 4: Promising materials with the stickamitic mind? In what way, Homes?
Speaker 4: I say it's wanted it chill in here? Don't you
Speaker 4: think you might shut that window? Sorry, oh chap, As
Speaker 4: I was saying, the gunpowder plot offers very promising material
Speaker 4: to the speculative mind. I made something of a study
Speaker 4: of the historical records of the case. There's more than
Speaker 4: a little evidence to suggest that King James was never
Speaker 4: in any real danger, never in any danger.
Speaker 3: What makes you say that.
Speaker 4: Knowledge of the proposed dubt to this scheme came to
Speaker 4: life early that James Stuart, King of England, the possessor
Speaker 4: of a shrewd and diabolical mind, used the spectacular discovery
Speaker 4: of the plant to try and bolster his weight popularity,
Speaker 4: as well as to justify increased religious.
Speaker 3: Persecutions as the first I've heard of it, I.
Speaker 2: Day awful of it's true, just the same.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid James Stuart, King of England, was an unscrupulous tyrant.
Speaker 2: Come in. Oh, yes, missus Hudson, there.
Speaker 3: Was a gentleman to see you, mister Holmes. He said
Speaker 3: it was very important.
Speaker 2: He asked me to give you his car. Thank Missus Hudson. Oh,
Speaker 2: ask him to come up please, will you?
Speaker 4: Hi?
Speaker 2: Who is an home a gentleman with a remarkably fine
Speaker 2: sense of time? We discard yourself.
Speaker 3: Look, mister James Stewart, great Scott, that's.
Speaker 4: Extra any instance that he should arrive just as we're
Speaker 4: talking about James Stewart, King of England.
Speaker 2: I mean, mister James Stewart. How do you do? Mister Stuart.
Speaker 2: I'm mis Sheelck Holmes, and this is my colleague doctor.
Speaker 3: What how do you do?
Speaker 2: How Holmes?
Speaker 3: You've got to help me.
Speaker 4: I'm walking about model fear of my life. You've got
Speaker 4: to help me, mister Stewart.
Speaker 2: I suggest that you sit down. I'll do anything in
Speaker 2: my power to help you.
Speaker 4: But you must compose yourself first and tell me quietly
Speaker 4: what it is that's frightening you. Oh can I compose
Speaker 4: myself when I may be dead within a few hours?
Speaker 3: And no, I'm mister Stewart. I'm a doctor. I really
Speaker 3: think if I were to give you a sedative that
Speaker 3: you'd find out.
Speaker 5: Can you talk of senators? When?
Speaker 2: Doctor?
Speaker 3: All right? All right, not here, let me help you
Speaker 3: with the sofa. Here's Holmes.
Speaker 4: I'll give him some Digitalis the fellow with a bad
Speaker 4: heart like this shouldn't allarm so to get so excited?
Speaker 3: And now this, mister Stewart, what is it? It's digitaris
Speaker 3: very well? No better time?
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Holmes, Yes I do.
Speaker 3: Hey, you're right.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't get so excited. My heart can't stand it,
Speaker 4: you know, Watson?
Speaker 2: Is he well not to talk to you? Think?
Speaker 3: Yes, you're just excited over again.
Speaker 4: I'll be careful doctor. I'll take it quietly, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: When you saw my car, just know did it strike
Speaker 4: any responsive court?
Speaker 2: Naturally?
Speaker 3: Sir?
Speaker 4: Who could fail to be intrigued when a James Stewart
Speaker 4: calls to see one on Guy Fowk's day. It isn't
Speaker 4: just coincidence that my name is James Stewart's. I've got
Speaker 4: royal blood in my veins. People know of it, and
Speaker 4: that's another reason they're out to kill me. They're jealous
Speaker 4: of my heritage. Every instinct I have a a royal one. No,
Speaker 4: you gentlemen know that falcon is a king sport. I'm
Speaker 4: a great His hobby is a breeding in the training.
Speaker 2: Of false to us, he's mister Stewart.
Speaker 4: Owing to the state of your health, I suggest that
Speaker 4: you be as economical as possible in your explanation. In fact,
Speaker 4: I think it might be better if I were to
Speaker 4: question you very well, mister Holmes. Now you say that
Speaker 4: your life is in danger. What evidence do you have
Speaker 4: to substantiate that claim. My cousin Guy Fault and they
Speaker 4: has threatened it. Now you see, mister Holmes, he and
Speaker 4: I are the only heirs to a wealthy uncle.
Speaker 5: His fortune will go to the surviving heir.
Speaker 2: If I were dead, Guy would inherit everything to mister Stewart.
Speaker 3: You should have applied to Scoffing here for protection.
Speaker 5: I did Dr Watson only a few days ago.
Speaker 4: I saw certain Inspector Strada I think his name.
Speaker 5: Was, and he laughed at my.
Speaker 2: Field and he laughed, did he? Well?
Speaker 4: Then, in that case, there may be something in your story, sir.
Speaker 4: You say that your cousin has threatened to kill you.
Speaker 4: Has he indicated the method he intends to employ?
Speaker 5: He has, and it's a devilish plot.
Speaker 4: Guy has a bit of a twisted sense of humor, gentleman,
Speaker 4: even when he's planning as dustily a thing as a murder.
Speaker 4: I am James Stewart. He is Guy faultinby which is
Speaker 4: near enough.
Speaker 2: The guy Fox.
Speaker 4: Today is the fifth of November, and he's planning to
Speaker 4: blow me up.
Speaker 3: Who come, Come comes? You can't expect us to believe
Speaker 3: them for this.
Speaker 4: Troupe He won me, and the celebrations that are going
Speaker 4: on in the streets of London to day would make
Speaker 4: a rare club for his activities. I must confess, mister Stuart,
Speaker 4: that I find your story most I'm convincing.
Speaker 2: All your evidence appears to depend on conversations held between
Speaker 2: you and this cousin of yours.
Speaker 4: You have no facts, sir, to substantiate your planes, but
Speaker 4: I have, then, please let us hear them. I'll live
Speaker 4: at twenty three Cavendish Square. A week ago the house
Speaker 4: next door to me was let to a new tenant.
Speaker 4: Almost immediately watman became.
Speaker 5: Very active there. They were digging in the sellers.
Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, I could hear the sounds of picks and
Speaker 4: shovels through.
Speaker 3: The walls the cells.
Speaker 4: That does sound significant, dune homes extremely Did you observe
Speaker 4: any other activities of the workman, Mister Stewart him, mister
Speaker 4: Rooms than have been delivering large packing cases to the
Speaker 4: basement during the last two days.
Speaker 5: And I know what send them to.
Speaker 3: It's going put of I.
Speaker 2: Tell you they're planning to blow me up today.
Speaker 3: A citizens Statistatius City. You mustn't excite yourself again.
Speaker 5: What shall I do, mister Holmes?
Speaker 4: I think say I put the better of you to
Speaker 4: rest here for a while and then go to a
Speaker 4: nearby hotel. I would suggest the shop spring and wait
Speaker 4: there until you care from us. And where are you
Speaker 4: gentlemen going, Watson and I, after Donning's suit disguise, is
Speaker 4: well visit the house of joining yours and Cappini just square.
Speaker 4: I think an examination of the seller there might prove
Speaker 4: much illuminating. This sposed to be the household right homes
Speaker 4: the empty packing cases is still by the foot of
Speaker 4: the basement.
Speaker 2: Stepson, Let's go on and explore.
Speaker 3: On my soul. I feel a little self consciousness in
Speaker 3: these clothes.
Speaker 4: No need too, my a champ. You look a most
Speaker 4: authentic inspector of pumbing. If anyone challenges us, you'd better
Speaker 4: let me do the talking, though, I think my accent
Speaker 4: might be a little more convincing. Sh listen, I can't
Speaker 4: hear anything exactly. Then we may reasonably assume that either
Speaker 4: the workmen are observing the guy fawks holiday or that
Speaker 4: their work is done a moment's tide this door, so
Speaker 4: I'm noted. Yes, this is too easy, Watson. We must
Speaker 4: be prepared for tramp. Come on, I've gotten out of
Speaker 4: all the handle of this. There's any trouble, don't use
Speaker 4: it until I tell you to remember we are supposed
Speaker 4: to be plumbing inspectors.
Speaker 3: Spitch black in here.
Speaker 2: I can't see a thing. Strike a match. If you
Speaker 2: can't find a gas jet.
Speaker 3: Strike a match, or the cellar may be full of
Speaker 3: drum paddle.
Speaker 2: Won't take the RISKO, chap.
Speaker 3: H here's a gesture. Do I like it? That's better?
Speaker 3: Now we can see a.
Speaker 4: Little uh huh. I think the workmen have completed their job.
Speaker 4: See that new wood forming a crude door in the
Speaker 4: corner over there? Where does it lead to? Just first doubt? Oh,
Speaker 4: also unlocked. Here's a miner's vantum waiting conveniently for us
Speaker 4: on this ledge. Oh this is ridiculously you see now,
Speaker 4: I'm sure it's a trap.
Speaker 2: I like the lattern.
Speaker 3: Grits. It's a tunnel.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a tunnel leading into mister Stewart's house next door.
Speaker 2: Let's explore it.
Speaker 4: Look comes, look at the barrels. That's a full of gunpowder. Undoubtedly,
Speaker 4: will it deserve the fuses as well? Yes, the complete
Speaker 4: equipment for another gunpowder plot.
Speaker 3: I can't believe my eyes. What a fantastic plan. But
Speaker 3: could the murder of a certain that Stuart would be
Speaker 3: killed in the explosion?
Speaker 4: I think that's usually answered, buttson, remember mister Stuart's bad heart,
Speaker 4: in his present state of apprehension, and exploding fire cracker
Speaker 4: would be enough to kill him.
Speaker 3: I suppose, Hello, what's this lying on the floor? Curious
Speaker 3: funny strip of silk was a little ring on the end.
Speaker 2: Let me see button. Uh huh, this seems to be familiar.
Speaker 3: White jove a bit to es.
Speaker 4: Yes, well, the last piece of evidence necessary to conturn
Speaker 4: the conclusion.
Speaker 3: I think the hands about the heads. I've got a revolver.
Speaker 4: Right chard governor behind doing no arm I remember watch them.
Speaker 2: I'll do the talking.
Speaker 3: Come on, hard to come.
Speaker 2: Well, you're a comical looking pair. What are you doing
Speaker 2: in there? At?
Speaker 4: Me and my mate got a message to come over
Speaker 4: here and seeing the plumbing mister plumbers? Eh, do you
Speaker 4: have any identify occasion? Yes, sir, here's my bad. We'll
Speaker 4: inspect us for the London County Council.
Speaker 2: Oh that's all right, my man.
Speaker 4: I saw the basement door open and eye and I
Speaker 4: thought burgers might be here. You're the owner of this house, sir, yes,
Speaker 4: but my agent littered recent and tans have.
Speaker 2: Been behaving rather queerly, untold, so I came around here.
Speaker 2: Don't see what was happening.
Speaker 4: If you're the owner, sir, perhaps you can't give me
Speaker 4: some facts for me records, film me records.
Speaker 2: You know what do you want to know?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Your name lisir fulken guy? Look Alfie alf old your nose?

Speaker 4: Him for months now, can't stop him, alfhie, here give
Speaker 4: me a pencil, will you?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 4: Al now, sir, your name is Guy Falcamby. What's the
Speaker 4: name of the the tenant this apse is led to.
Speaker 4: There are three of them, you know the name? Then
Speaker 4: got to have them for me records, you see, Yes,
Speaker 4: the names of Winter rope Wood and Kane. I oh, yes,
Speaker 4: Winter rope Wood and Kines. That's right, Sir. Stan says
Speaker 4: that they might be a firm of solicitors.
Speaker 2: Doubt based.
Speaker 3: Perhaps they are.
Speaker 2: I haven't met him. Just one more questions, sir, and
Speaker 2: then I needn't bother you no more.
Speaker 4: Well, what is it my religion or my grandmother's maiden name?
Speaker 3: Say?
Speaker 2: Not being knight bad.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to lived in the house next door
Speaker 4: on that side. We've had a compact from there. Two
Speaker 4: rare pipes is bugged up. My cousin lives there. His
Speaker 4: name is James Stewart. Mister James Stewart. Eh, I'm a blind, sir.
Speaker 4: Me and me mate ve going next door and come on, Alfie,
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised this pipes I'm bugged up. As just
Speaker 4: a graphically put it. He's a great one for practical
Speaker 4: jokes about the house. As a matter of fact, he's
Speaker 4: planning one of them tonight.
Speaker 2: Oh well, that's no concern of yours. By the way,
Speaker 2: my man, what's your name?
Speaker 4: Nivitzer? Tom nivid Go Alphie. We've got work to do, homes.
Speaker 4: I wish you'd tell me what's going on. Well, we'd
Speaker 4: take this cab back to Bakers Street, get out of
Speaker 4: these clothes, and they have served their purpose. Now there's
Speaker 4: more serious work of foot. Well, I'm still confused about
Speaker 4: an interview with Guy Culkinby. Why did you say your
Speaker 4: name was Tom kntt more? A touch of vanity Hill
Speaker 4: follow vanefere?
Speaker 3: How do you mean?
Speaker 2: Well, consider the names in this case so far Watson.
Speaker 4: James Stewart says that he's been threatened by Guy falconby
Speaker 4: a name. As mister Stuart points out, not unlike Guy Fawkes.
Speaker 4: You'll call the names of the free tenants that mister
Speaker 4: Faulknley gave us a few minutes ago.
Speaker 3: Yes, Winter, Rodwood and Canes. But what's that got to
Speaker 3: do with it?
Speaker 2: A great deal? Maria Fellow.
Speaker 4: Thomas Winter, Ambo's Rokewood and Robert Kaynes were the free
Speaker 4: men executed with Guy Fox in the original gunpower plot
Speaker 4: in sixteen log.
Speaker 3: Where does Tom Nivetty the name of yourself put into
Speaker 3: the mixture?
Speaker 4: Thomas Knivitt was the Westminster magistrate who arrested the conspirators,
Speaker 4: since they would be murderer of such an academic knowledge
Speaker 4: of the original plot, I thought i'd let him know
Speaker 4: that he was up against.
Speaker 2: Him, opponent worthy of his Still, we'll hear the rest
Speaker 2: of doctor watson story in just a few seconds.
Speaker 1: Just about time for me to remind you that if
Speaker 1: you want a wine that you're to please the ladies,
Speaker 1: you can't miss with Petrie California muscatel. That's because Petrie
Speaker 1: muscatel is a golden wine with one of the most
Speaker 1: luscious flavors you ever tasted. Did you ever taste a
Speaker 1: big plump muscat grape that's ripened in the sun. If
Speaker 1: you had, then you know what to expect when you
Speaker 1: taste Petree muscatell. It's a wonderful wine, perfect after dinner
Speaker 1: and swell when company comes.
Speaker 2: Just remember that, won't you, Petrie muscatell.
Speaker 1: Well, doctor, you and mister Holmes were certainly having yourselves
Speaker 1: quite a guy foalks day.
Speaker 2: What happened when you got back to Baker Street.
Speaker 3: We changed out about disguises and be controlled in the clothes.
Speaker 3: I was still pretty much in the dark as usual,
Speaker 3: and I kept christening Holmes next to our next move,
Speaker 3: even in the streets of suppressed excitement. And it was
Speaker 3: obvious as he spoke to me that he was anxious
Speaker 3: to be all.
Speaker 2: What's there's so much work ahead of.
Speaker 3: Using up Dawley. I'm bless you as fast I can.
Speaker 3: What's our next move.
Speaker 2: To split off horses?
Speaker 4: Let's get hold of my band of the street echines,
Speaker 4: the bakest street of regulars. I'm going to surround mister
Speaker 4: Stewart's house in Cavendish Square, and they will be invaluable
Speaker 4: for that purpose.
Speaker 3: So what do you want me to do?
Speaker 4: Go to past the hotel and collect mister Stewart and
Speaker 4: return with him to his house and wait for there.
Speaker 4: I shall join you as soon as I've rounded up
Speaker 4: the irregulars. But I must warn you don't leave mister
Speaker 4: Stewart for a moment. Don't set him out your sight
Speaker 4: until you see me again. Cross I want Hermes. But two,
Speaker 4: I must say, idea of all that gunper in the
Speaker 4: cellar doesn't make me feel in it too person or
Speaker 4: chat fat in me. I wouldn't expose you to any
Speaker 4: danger if I could avoid it, and I assure you
Speaker 4: that I shall join you in, mister Stuart. But it's
Speaker 4: shortly you have your revolv yes, of course, good? And
Speaker 4: UH give mister Stuart this revolver. Will you tell him
Speaker 4: that I insist that he carries it. I fear that
Speaker 4: his own has probably been tempered with to your.
Speaker 3: Homes I'll see, here's it. This is a strange business.
Speaker 4: I must sir, that guy Falkener seemed such a decent
Speaker 4: sort of follow. Yes, he appeared to be a most
Speaker 4: amiable fellow, didn't he. This is indeed an unusual case, Watson.
Speaker 4: We're off against one of the most sinister and twisted
Speaker 4: antagonists that we've never met.
Speaker 2: Well, a chap.
Speaker 4: I'm leaving now on a joint soon, and don't forget
Speaker 4: stay close to mister Stuart, Stay very close to him,
Speaker 4: Dr Watson.
Speaker 5: I wish your friend were here, Hannah, and I.
Speaker 3: Don't get so excited. Mister Stewart, you'll be here in
Speaker 3: a moment. Now. You've still got the revolver that I
Speaker 3: gave you.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's in my pocket.
Speaker 4: But what's the good of a revolver if there should
Speaker 4: be an explosion, answer me that if you can, and.
Speaker 3: You must have faith in mister Holm. Sir, he's arranging
Speaker 3: now to have his house of yours surrounded by his
Speaker 3: band of street urchins. They'll see that no one gets
Speaker 3: to the cellar next door to light diffuses.
Speaker 5: A bunch of children.
Speaker 2: How can they do anything.
Speaker 4: If you don't know the Baker street irregulars, mister Stuart,
Speaker 4: and it's a perfect day for them to operate as
Speaker 4: black faced boys begging for petus.
Speaker 3: They'd pass unnoticed anywhere.
Speaker 4: I hope you're right, but I have a premonition, doctor,
Speaker 4: there's going to be a tragedy.
Speaker 3: I know one.
Speaker 4: I'll take it easy, sir, your heart, you're in splended
Speaker 4: hands when Shelock Holmes is on the case.
Speaker 3: Here he is now, Holmes, I say, I'm glad to
Speaker 3: see you.
Speaker 4: You received your visitor, yet visit them. We've seen no
Speaker 4: one than beyond your let. I've just been questioning the
Speaker 4: boys surrounding this house. A few moments ago, some children
Speaker 4: pulled a small cart up to the back door. God
Speaker 4: continue a life sized dummy. My irregulars thought that it
Speaker 4: was a methody on its way to a bunfa.
Speaker 3: Why shouldn't it be home?
Speaker 2: I reason to believe that it's.
Speaker 4: Someone visiting you in disguise, mister Stuart, a visitor who
Speaker 4: is mounting the back stairs at this very moment.
Speaker 5: You've got to turn buy me homes.
Speaker 2: You've got to protect me, sir.
Speaker 3: And who will give that apple research to cut? A
Speaker 3: guy fox down? A doctor in his hand, and it's
Speaker 3: walking and also talking.
Speaker 2: I trust, keep away from me.
Speaker 3: I got above victorious. Say if you want to give
Speaker 3: me one, not take two. The better for me and
Speaker 3: the worse for you. It's guy falking. Keep away from me.
Speaker 3: You hear, better for me and the worse for you.
Speaker 3: All right? Then I've got a fire.
Speaker 2: That is, mister stupid of Bob that I've provided for
Speaker 2: you seems to be unloaded. How verty are what in fun?
Speaker 3: Is all this about?
Speaker 2: Just witnessing an attempted murder? What's murder? What are you
Speaker 2: talking about? This is a game, James and I had
Speaker 2: it arranged the whole thing. You may have thought it
Speaker 2: was a game, mister Parker me, but I assure.
Speaker 3: You that you're coming mister Watson alone. Take your friends
Speaker 3: off me. Put him on the server. I'll give him
Speaker 3: some digitarists.
Speaker 2: Look, I don't want to appear unnecessarily to stop it, but.
Speaker 3: Will someone tell me what this is all about?
Speaker 2: With pleasure?
Speaker 4: Mister Faucnby, your cousin had planned one of the most
Speaker 4: fantastic murder plots that I've ever encountered.
Speaker 2: He came to us with the story which would threatened
Speaker 2: his life.
Speaker 3: But that's ridiculous.
Speaker 4: Under a fond of him, of course it's ridiculous. The
Speaker 4: whole plot was ridiculous.
Speaker 2: He leased the house next.
Speaker 4: Door had a tunnel dug when gunpowder and fuses planted there,
Speaker 4: even under the name of the tenant, says Winter brokewood
Speaker 4: and canes to get the apparent plot a further authenticity.
Speaker 4: You mean my cousin was the real tenant, certainly he was. However,
Speaker 4: he was toumsy enough to drop that m piece of
Speaker 4: silk with the wire ring on the end that you
Speaker 4: found your cella Watson.
Speaker 3: So you call a jest. And what's a jess.
Speaker 4: It's a strap that goes round the falcon's legs which
Speaker 4: its leash is fastened. You will remember that mister Stuart
Speaker 4: informed us that falconray is his hobby, and if therefore
Speaker 4: indicated that he had been in the cellar and consequently
Speaker 4: must have known about the whole part.
Speaker 2: And all he was trying to do is to build
Speaker 2: up in our.
Speaker 4: Minds of belief that his cousin was trying to kill him, exactly,
Speaker 4: my dear fellow. And had we believed him, of course
Speaker 4: he could have shut you just now, mister Falconby in
Speaker 4: apparent self defense.
Speaker 2: God Lord, what a fantastic plant. I I still can't
Speaker 2: find this, mister Falknby. Why are you dressed as a
Speaker 2: guy Fawk's dummy? Well, it was James's idea.
Speaker 4: He said that he was going to dress up too,
Speaker 4: and if we were to go around the bondfast night
Speaker 4: and frighten people by by appearing as live dummies. But
Speaker 4: the last message you sent to me to come up here,

Speaker 1: down from father to son, from father to son, the
Speaker 1: fine art of turning luscious sun ripe and California grapes
Speaker 1: into fragrant, delicious wine. That's why when you want a
Speaker 1: wine for any occasion before dinner with your meals are
Speaker 1: after dinner, you can't go wrong with a Petree wine
Speaker 1: because Petree took time to bring you good wine. And now,
