Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, how about the singular affair of the
Speaker 1: babbling Butler.
Speaker 2: Well, that adventure began on a November evening many.
Speaker 3: Years ago, a four days a dense yellow pug and
Speaker 3: virtually marooned homes and me and our Baker Street lodgings.
Speaker 3: The first day the great man had spent in cross
Speaker 3: indexing this huge book of references. The second and third
Speaker 3: had been patiently occupied upon a subject which he had
Speaker 3: recently made his hobby, the music to the Middle Ages.
Speaker 4: It when on the fourth day we.
Speaker 5: Still saw the heavy brown swirl drifting past us and
Speaker 5: condensing in oily drops upon the windowpanes, my old friend's
Speaker 5: active and impatient nature began to assert itself. He started
Speaker 5: to pace restlessly about our room in a fever of
Speaker 5: suppressed energy.
Speaker 4: Confound this far.
Speaker 2: Oh, do stop pacing up and down homes. No good
Speaker 2: getting angry with the weather. That's one problem even you
Speaker 2: can't do anything about.
Speaker 4: It. Isn't the weather, Watson, It's the infannel dullness of
Speaker 4: the London criminals these days. Come over here to the window.
Speaker 2: Oh what is it?
Speaker 6: Ah?
Speaker 4: Look out there? See how the figures loom up our
Speaker 4: dimly scene. And then blend once more into the fog.
Speaker 4: What am I to put a beef for the murderer? Watson?
Speaker 4: You could roam London as a tiger does the jungle,
Speaker 4: un seeing until he pounces. It's fortunate for this community
Speaker 4: that I'm not a criminal. It is indeed, suppose that
Speaker 4: I were Brooks or Woodhouse, or any of the fifty
Speaker 4: men who have good reason to take my life? How
Speaker 4: long could I survive against my own pursuit, A summons,
Speaker 4: a bogus appointment, and all would be over? The only
Speaker 4: thing that depresses me is an inactivity. Why doesn't something happen?
Speaker 4: Why doesn't someone come to me with a problem.
Speaker 2: It sounds as if your prayers did answered.
Speaker 4: I hope. So see who it is, Watson? Will you
Speaker 4: it'll save missus Udson a trip?
Speaker 2: Yes, of course, all right, Missus Hudson. Ask the the
Speaker 2: gentleman to come up here this matter you would perceived homes.
Speaker 2: Yes I do. Then come along in. My name is Watson,
Speaker 2: Doc Watson, And.
Speaker 7: This is how do you do, mister Holmes, doctor Watson,
Speaker 7: My name is Jenkins.
Speaker 4: But Sir Rodrick Martin, Sir Roderck Martin, indeed, Sir down Jenkins.
Speaker 7: Thank you, sir Martin.
Speaker 2: Isn't he the theatrical producer?
Speaker 4: Yes, Watson, and he is quite famous in his own
Speaker 4: circle for his cynicism of a certain modern wit. Your
Speaker 4: master needs my services, I presume Jenkins.
Speaker 8: Yes, mister Homey does. He's in desperate trouble. He'd like
Speaker 8: you to come over to.
Speaker 4: His house of wants.
Speaker 2: What kind of trouble is he?
Speaker 8: Please don't ask any questions so that just come to
Speaker 8: the house and see for yourselves. I have long wanted
Speaker 8: to meet Sir Rodrick.
Speaker 4: I believe it was he who gave currency to that pun,
Speaker 4: though he might be more humble. There's no police like Holmes.
Speaker 2: That's a funny police like Boom.
Speaker 4: I'm glad it amuses. Sir Watson.
Speaker 7: Well, I'm for you to come with Please, gentlemen, come
Speaker 7: with me.
Speaker 4: Whatever Maske's problems may be. I think I would enjoy
Speaker 4: a discussion with him, perhaps on the topic of humility. Yes,
Speaker 4: Jenkins will accompany you at once. This is mister Sherlock
Speaker 4: Holmes and Dr Watson.
Speaker 2: Sir, how do you do? How do you do? Jenkins?
Speaker 4: Oh? How very odd?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 10: Why should Jenkins make such a meteoric exit? I presume
Speaker 10: Sir Rodrick, he wished to leave us alone. Indeed, what
Speaker 10: a singularly depressing thought.
Speaker 2: Well, so, now that he's gone, you can talk quite really,
Speaker 2: my dear doctor.
Speaker 10: Watson, I've been in the habit of talking freely ever
Speaker 10: since I had the pleasure of insulting my nurse at
Speaker 10: the age of four. She was a peculiarly revolting female
Speaker 10: by the name of Pearl. After forty four years, I
Speaker 10: still can't think of a more inappropriate name for her.
Speaker 4: Sir Rodrick, your childhood reminiscences are fascinating, But supposing to
Speaker 4: get down to business, very well, Holmes, to what do
Speaker 4: I owe the well, for lack of a better word,
Speaker 4: the pleasure of this visit. Your butler came to Fetcho's.
Speaker 2: He said that you were in desperate trouble and needed
Speaker 2: our help.
Speaker 10: Jenkins told you that I can only assume that he
Speaker 10: stole more than his usual quota of brandy to day.
Speaker 10: I noticed in the past that alcohol seems to give
Speaker 10: him the quaintest delusions.
Speaker 4: Then you don't wish to consult me professionally, no, Holmes,
Speaker 4: I don't, nor do I wish the services of a doctor. Therefore,
Speaker 4: I suggest you both retire.
Speaker 10: And ask Jenkins for your hats and an explanation. Good evening, gentlemen.
Speaker 3: It's one of his stupid jokes, homes the bounders trying
Speaker 3: to make a pool order.
Speaker 4: I think not Watson. It'd be a singularly pointless joke
Speaker 4: and far below his standard. No, I believe there's some
Speaker 4: other game afoot, though, Sir Roderick dismissed a somewhat unceremoniously.
Speaker 4: I think we may still be reasonably certain of a
Speaker 4: welcome in the certain squatters. You're going to talk to
Speaker 4: the butter, Yes, Watson. I'm certain he's neither been drinking
Speaker 4: nor suffering from delusions. I'm convinced that.
Speaker 9: The man is in mortal terror of his life.
Speaker 7: Thank Heavens you came to see me, mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: How could we resist it when theeradic told us that
Speaker 3: your entire story was a lie.
Speaker 7: Oh, you must forgive me, gentlemen.
Speaker 8: And I I was desperate with fear, and I had
Speaker 8: to attract your attention.
Speaker 4: But why you've accomplished your purpose. Now you've thoroughly aroused
Speaker 4: my curiosity. But I repeat why.
Speaker 8: Because I'm in terror of my life, Sir. Someone's trying
Speaker 8: to murder me.
Speaker 2: What reason have you for saying that, Jakin.
Speaker 7: Last night an attempt was made to kill me?
Speaker 4: Oh, please describe the circumstances.
Speaker 8: Well, sir, I was carrying a cake of wine down
Speaker 8: into the cellar, slipped from my arms and hit the stairs,
Speaker 8: and then the stairs collapsed.
Speaker 7: When I examined them, I found that they'd been sore.
Speaker 7: Almost true.
Speaker 4: I assume that you are the only member of the
Speaker 4: household who ever visits the wine cellar.
Speaker 8: Yes, that was a liberate trap to break my neck.
Speaker 8: If I'd step down, would have been the end of me. Oh,
Speaker 8: mister Holmes, I'm only a servant.
Speaker 4: I couldn't pay this well.
Speaker 2: Did Jenkins?
Speaker 3: Are sure that mister Holmes is as interested in preventing
Speaker 3: the murder of a servants ian is in saving the
Speaker 3: life of a prime.
Speaker 4: Minister Jenkins, have you any idea who might want to
Speaker 4: kill you?
Speaker 9: On?
Speaker 8: There's only one person on earth for the murder for
Speaker 8: killing me, So that's my master, Roderck Martin.
Speaker 2: Come, Come, come, my dear man. I'm sure I'm mistaken.
Speaker 4: What reason do you have for suspecting him?
Speaker 7: It's this way, mister Holmes.
Speaker 8: A year ago a certain lady killed herself when Sir
Speaker 8: Roderick jolted her.
Speaker 4: The affair was all hushed up him.
Speaker 8: Nobody knew so Roderick was even involved, but her brother
Speaker 8: swore to avenge her death. That brother is a very
Speaker 8: close friend of Sir Roderick's that has never suspected him.
Speaker 2: Complicated situation.
Speaker 4: Yes, Watson, I take it. Jenkins. You are the only
Speaker 4: person who knows that your master was going to him, Yes, sir, Yes, sir.
Speaker 7: And if I were dead, his secret would be safe.
Speaker 7: Mister Holmes, is what can I do? I know he's
Speaker 7: planning my death.
Speaker 4: You've got to save me, Sir Jenkins. My advice is this,
Speaker 4: Write a full statement of the circumstances in this case,
Speaker 4: sign and seal it and hand it over to me
Speaker 4: for safe keeping. Inform your master that if anything happens
Speaker 4: to you, I shall make public the contents of the statements.
Speaker 2: It's a very good idea.
Speaker 4: I'll do that, Sir. I'll do that.
Speaker 7: I'll bring it to you in the morning.
Speaker 4: Spend it. Come on, Watson. Oh, by the way, Jenkins,
Speaker 4: what's the name of your doctor? Doctor? Sir? I never
Speaker 4: said that. You never said what doctor?
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, Dr David Stanley in Wimpole Street.
Speaker 4: Dr David Stanley, I see, well, good night, Jenkins. We
Speaker 4: shall expect you in the morning.
Speaker 2: But why are we going to see Dr Stanley?
Speaker 4: Firstly because I want his physician's opinion as to weather
Speaker 4: as might be suffering from hysterical delusion.
Speaker 2: Well as a doctor myself, I say that's small likely.
Speaker 3: I must say his actions tonight hard to seem the
Speaker 3: behavior of a sane man when.
Speaker 4: A man is bad at frightened Watson, and it's sometimes
Speaker 4: hard to judge his actions by more rational standards. Instantly,
Speaker 4: did you notice the way he started when I asked
Speaker 4: him the name of his doctor? Almost certainly, doctor David
Speaker 4: Stanley is the vengeful killer.
Speaker 2: Right George, now that you mentioned it.
Speaker 3: I do remember hearing some gossip in Harley Street about
Speaker 3: Stanley's sister killing herself, but nobody seemed to.
Speaker 2: Know the motives.
Speaker 4: Woo, here's the house, Watson.
Speaker 2: Well, let's hope the doctor's at home.
Speaker 4: If he isn't, we haven't come very far out of
Speaker 4: our way.
Speaker 7: We'll beg a wait for your governor.
Speaker 4: No, thanker, Kevin, here you are, thank you. I can
Speaker 4: hear a pana play.
Speaker 2: Someone is at home.
Speaker 4: That seems an eminently logical deduction.
Speaker 2: There's no need to be their home. Good evening.
Speaker 4: My name is Charlotte Holmes, and this is my colleague,
Speaker 4: doctor Watson. How do you do. I'm missus Stanley.
Speaker 2: Will you wondered if.
Speaker 4: We might have a few words with your husband?
Speaker 2: Come in, won't you?
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, mister Holmes, you are detective.
Speaker 2: Aren't you?
Speaker 4: Yes, Missus Stanley, I.
Speaker 7: Hope you haven't come here to talk to David about his.
Speaker 4: Sister's death, not directly, madam. Though my mission is not
Speaker 4: unconnected with their tragedy, then I can't let you.
Speaker 2: Really, Missus Tanner, my friend only will.
Speaker 4: For the sake of his sanity. I daren't let you
Speaker 4: talk to him ever since his sister died, and you
Speaker 4: seem like a so tormented he spends most of his.
Speaker 1: Time in there playing those frightening compositions to be on
Speaker 1: the piano.
Speaker 7: I can't let be subjected any more questioning about his sister.
Speaker 4: Even though I don't miss you, Sylvia, I had voices. Oh, gentlemen,
Speaker 4: it's miss to Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson. I hope
Speaker 4: we're not intruding, Sir the Great Sharlock Holmes this friend,
Speaker 4: Doctor Watson, intruding, but cost not. I'm flattered. Come in,
Speaker 4: Come in, gentlemen. Don't wry missus Stanley, we will.
Speaker 2: Come.
Speaker 4: I believe you're something of a musician. I like your
Speaker 4: opinion of this, David, Dear. They haven't come here and listen.
Speaker 11: I don't care what they came here for. This is
Speaker 11: what they're going to hear. Well, do you like it?
Speaker 4: A strange savage melody? Doctor Stanley is?
Speaker 3: And it's a rather depressing if you.
Speaker 4: No, I shouldn't it be when it's finished? I call
Speaker 4: it a frenity for dead sister. That's what you've come
Speaker 4: to see you about, isn't it? Mister Sherlock comes, David,
Speaker 4: you much.
Speaker 12: I should prefer that you leave us alone. Dead alone, Sylvia, Sylvia,
Speaker 12: the girl can't face up the facts. I can tell me, Holmes,
Speaker 12: what have you found out about my sister's death?
Speaker 4: Doctor Stanley, I'm afraid you're laboring under a misapprehension. I
Speaker 4: know nothing of your sister. I came here to talk
Speaker 4: about Jenkins, Sir Robert Martine.
Speaker 2: Tells us that you were his physician.
Speaker 12: Jenkins, Eh, what you want to know about him?
Speaker 4: Has he been ill?
Speaker 12: Recently a few months ago, he had a bad attackive
Speaker 12: in Kerrick fever right.
Speaker 3: Your eyes, and Keerik sometimes leaves that after fact, would
Speaker 3: you say, doctor the Jenkins has suffered no lasting damage
Speaker 3: hallucinations for listener.
Speaker 12: At the time, he was out of his head for
Speaker 12: a while. But I'd say he's perfectly south now, Thank you,
Speaker 12: doctor Stanley. That's all we wanted to know.
Speaker 11: You mean to say that you came here simply to
Speaker 11: find out about the state of jenkins sanity.
Speaker 4: Just that, sir, Good evening, Good.
Speaker 2: Night, doctor Furner.
Speaker 11: I think you had something else on your mind before
Speaker 11: you talk.
Speaker 4: Of Sylvia.
Speaker 2: Jenkins may be saying, but that man's on the edge
Speaker 2: of a mental collapse if I ever saw one.
Speaker 4: I quite agree, Watson, missus Kenny seems to have gone upstairs.
Speaker 4: I think they let ourselves out.
Speaker 2: Well, Holmes, that was rather a fruitless trip.
Speaker 3: We didn't learn much there except that Jenkins is compass
Speaker 3: mentis I disagree?
Speaker 2: O Chap.
Speaker 4: We'll learn to great new more than that tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4: I shall do no time in calling on Sir Roderick
Speaker 4: again that horrible follow say why because he's the focal
Speaker 4: point in a grim Fangedy. Inevitably, either he will kill
Speaker 4: Jenkins or doctor Stanley will kill him.
Speaker 10: O idea, Homes, I am accustomed to facing two brown
Speaker 10: eggs at breakfast, two brown eggs lightly boiled, followed by
Speaker 10: a leisurely a perusal of the times.
Speaker 4: I see no reason why this day should commence any differently.
Speaker 4: So Roderck, I've explained you'll explain nothing, including your own presumption.
Speaker 10: Homes, I can see no cause for your meddling, even
Speaker 10: if I understood precisely what you were driving at, which
Speaker 10: I don't.
Speaker 2: Herodic, you must see that my friend is trying to
Speaker 2: protect you.
Speaker 10: Doctor Watson, I once had the acute misfortune to read
Speaker 10: one of your shockingly florid stories.
Speaker 4: I can only assume that your gross imagination has infected
Speaker 4: your daily life. Since your own safety seems to be
Speaker 4: a matter of indifference to you, So Rodric, I may
Speaker 4: point out that I know too much if you plan
Speaker 4: on being a danger yourself.
Speaker 10: Homes, you're impertinent, a quality which is attractive only in
Speaker 10: a younger person and of a different sex.
Speaker 4: What is even more unpardonable, you're boring. Leave and take
Speaker 4: this bumbling veterinary surgeon with you excremin before one thing,
Speaker 4: Where is your butler, Jenkins? A new man opened the
Speaker 4: door just now Jenkins?
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, yes, yes, I omitted to tell you Jenkins
Speaker 10: has left my service. You discharge you must well, not exactly,
Speaker 10: though it is my invariable rule to discharge any certain
Speaker 10: time guilty of a crime.
Speaker 4: A crime, and what was Jenkins's crime? He committed suicide.
Speaker 1: Just a moment we shall hear more about this ironic
Speaker 1: crime of suicide. But first, man, nice looking, attractive hair
Speaker 1: means so much to a man's appearance, and one of
Speaker 1: the first requisites of handsome, healthy looking hair as a
Speaker 1: hygienic scalp. So start at once, take better care of
Speaker 1: the hair you've got. Change to Crammel hair timing. No
Speaker 1: other hair tonic keeps the hair more neatly in place
Speaker 1: without looking or feeling greasy. But men, Kremmel does lots
Speaker 1: more than keep hair looking handsome. It's light oil to
Speaker 1: have a fine lubricating effect on.
Speaker 4: A dry scalp.
Speaker 1: At the same time it removes itchy, loose dandru Notice
Speaker 1: how alive, how invigorated your scalp feels. And men, you
Speaker 1: like to massage Kremel on your scalp because it's such
Speaker 1: a clean hair tonic never feels greasy or sticky. And
Speaker 1: if your hair is so dry that it breaks and
Speaker 1: falls when you comb it, Kremel actually helps condition the
Speaker 1: hair in that it makes it feel softer, more pliable,
Speaker 1: and look as if it had some body to it.
Speaker 1: So men for handsome, groomed hair and a more hygienic scalp,
Speaker 1: use Cremo daily. Buy a bottle of Cremel at any
Speaker 1: drug store, ask for an application at your barbers k
Speaker 1: R E. M. L. Kremmel hair tonic, that famous modern
Speaker 1: hair tonic preferred among America's most successful men. Well, doctor Watton,
Speaker 1: and this story really has me on the edge of
Speaker 1: my chair. So the butler Jenkins had committed suet.
Speaker 13: Oh, that's what Sir Roderick turlus, mister Bell, though we
Speaker 13: had great difficulty in persuading him to let us examine
Speaker 13: the dead man's room.
Speaker 14: Finally, after Sherlock Holmes had pointed out that if we
Speaker 14: couldn't handle the case and Scotland Yards certainly would, we
Speaker 14: were allowed to visit that room of death.
Speaker 2: The evidence of suicide was apparent. After brief examination, Holmes
Speaker 2: turned to me and.
Speaker 4: Said, what do you make of it, Watson.
Speaker 3: Obvious signs of strict and poisoning homes. Quite clearly a suicide.
Speaker 4: Yes, the other servants told us that they had to
Speaker 4: break the door down to get in. It was locked
Speaker 4: and bolted from the insign.
Speaker 3: Your examination proved that there was no sign of the
Speaker 3: lock having been tampered.
Speaker 4: With precisely, and he drank the poison from this glass
Speaker 4: here by the bed. Yes, I'd say that there's been
Speaker 4: nothing in this glass but strychnine and water. Hello, what's
Speaker 4: this on the carpet?
Speaker 2: It's like a piece of clay.
Speaker 4: It is, and it bears the imprint of a heel from.
Speaker 2: A man's boot.
Speaker 4: The size and observe the color of the clay, Watson,
Speaker 4: This particular specimen is quite rare. I shall take it
Speaker 4: back to Baker Street and examine it.
Speaker 2: I can't see any logic in this case, Holmes.
Speaker 3: After all, people terrified of murder don't go committing suicide.
Speaker 4: Patience, old fellow. I'm convinced that this is one case
Speaker 4: where an armed laboratory may aid the solution more than
Speaker 4: all the logic in the world.
Speaker 6: O Well, Holmed, what do your tests through the microscope tell.
Speaker 4: You, first of all, that the glass contained nothing but strychnine.
Speaker 2: Nobody could drink that without knowing it. That proves that
Speaker 2: if the suicide.
Speaker 4: Not necessarily Watson, I've also tested the clay. In addition
Speaker 4: to being a very rare clay, it's oddly impregnated with
Speaker 4: certain acids and chemicals, exactly as it might be if
Speaker 4: a doctor picked it up on his heel outside his
Speaker 4: house and later went into his laboratory. Doctor, that will
Speaker 4: explain the poison exactly. Jenkins was under his doctor's care.
Speaker 4: Supposing the physician prescribed a draft to be taken on retiring,
Speaker 4: why question its peculiar bitter taste. Jenkins was a frightened man.
Speaker 4: Undoubtedly he bolted and locked his door last night and
Speaker 4: then trustingly drank the fatal poison.
Speaker 13: All of which points to doctor Stanley quite but I
Speaker 13: don't understand it. He had a motive for murdering Sir Rodrick,
Speaker 13: and Sir Roderick had a motive for murdering Jenkins. With
Speaker 13: all the evidence points to the effect that.
Speaker 3: Doctor Stanley murdered Jenkins, it does make any sense, But
Speaker 3: it does, Watson precise, accurate, and terrifying sense.
Speaker 4: We must return to so Rodrick's house once. There's not
Speaker 4: a moment to be lost.
Speaker 10: Holmes, you and your friend here are positively pack of dermeters.
Speaker 10: Twice I've told you to mind your own business, and
Speaker 10: yet you come back for more insults. Am I to
Speaker 10: assume that you find my personal charm so utterly irresistible?
Speaker 2: On the contra, Sir, you can assume that your personal
Speaker 2: charm utterly escapes.
Speaker 4: Sir Roderick, the only reason we've returned is because I'm
Speaker 4: convinced you're engraved danger.
Speaker 10: As I told you before, Holmes, I'm eminently capable of
Speaker 10: taking care of myself in any case. I'm expecting doctor Stanley,
Speaker 10: my physician, here, in a few minutes.
Speaker 4: So Roderick, by all you hold safe, I hold nothing.
Speaker 10: Sacred homes save human life, by which of course I
Speaker 10: mean my home.
Speaker 4: Then, for the sake of your own life, Sir, allow
Speaker 4: us to slip behind that tapestry while your doctor visits you,
Speaker 4: behind the ardor say, the proper place for rats, if
Speaker 4: I remember them, I hamlet correctly, Oh that's undoubtedly the doctor.
Speaker 4: Then please let us hide. You won't regret it. I
Speaker 4: promise you very well. You may hide cutry away. Come
Speaker 4: on once.
Speaker 2: Murch your home, Come in, Roderick.
Speaker 4: I had to.
Speaker 7: See you, yes, so it would appear, Sylvia.
Speaker 10: If you have to come making dramatic entrances in my
Speaker 10: house at an hour that virtually represents the crack of dawn,
Speaker 10: I do we should take a little more pains with
Speaker 10: your enhumble Your dress is only suitable for tea and
Speaker 10: crumpets with a vicar's wife at tooting back.
Speaker 4: Oh, Roderick stopped trying to be facetious.
Speaker 7: I came here because I had to talk to you
Speaker 7: before David got well.
Speaker 4: I'm expecting him at any moments. I know that you're
Speaker 4: his closest friend, Roderick. You've got to do something for him.
Speaker 4: He's ill, he's mentally unbalanced. Olly thinks about and talks
Speaker 4: about and dreams about his Angela. He even composed a
Speaker 4: horrible piece of music that because Sylvia, David, what are
Speaker 4: you doing here? Everyone's day extraordinarily melodramatic this morning.
Speaker 10: It's a pity, David, but you have not caught your
Speaker 10: wife and me in a compromising situation.
Speaker 4: Chiefly, I admit, because I find her somewhat colorless.
Speaker 10: I suggest you leave us My DearS, I believe the
Speaker 10: word you're groping for is beast.
Speaker 4: You beast rodrich.
Speaker 12: You put up a convincing caricature of being the inhuman
Speaker 12: man of the world because people only knew.
Speaker 4: How you stood by me during the past time.
Speaker 10: Now, David, this has been a most emotional morning. For
Speaker 10: Heaven's say, don't you become lachrimos.
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 11: I'm just saying that if you hadn't stood by me
Speaker 11: since Angela's.
Speaker 4: Death, I don't know what I'd have done. You'd probably
Speaker 4: been back on your feet long before this. But you
Speaker 4: came here this morning in your professional capacity. David. Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: I know, Rodrick. How are you feeling? I don't like
Speaker 4: your color. I don't like my symptoms. I can't sleep.
Speaker 10: My nerves have been more than usually on edge for
Speaker 10: the past three weeks. David, you'll promised me some medicine.
Speaker 4: You'll know. I brought it with me. It's in my bag.
Speaker 4: Here you have a glass and some water, yes, on
Speaker 4: the sideboard, and this was steady. You up quite a bit.
Speaker 4: I add a little water. So here you are, Rodrick.
Speaker 4: This I wasn't sorotick. It won't do much good to
Speaker 4: the only thing you hold sacred, Sir much Holmes, what
Speaker 4: are you doing here? Your open conversation begins to become
Speaker 4: somewhat notton as doctor Stanley. I'm here because I don't
Speaker 4: like to see murder committed, even Sir Rodrick.
Speaker 2: You mean that doctor Stanley has tried to poison him.
Speaker 4: Certainly, just as he poisoned the butler Jenkins. I tried
Speaker 4: to protect Jenkins against the Rodrick. I was stupid enough
Speaker 4: not to see the other motive at first. Riddles are fascinating, Holmes,
Speaker 4: but not when they become personal. What are you talking about?
Speaker 4: It's a simple equation, Sir Rodrick. Doctor Stanley attended Jenkins
Speaker 4: during his bartmin terry. He told it himself that the
Speaker 4: butler was delirious. It was then that he must have
Speaker 4: learned Jenkins's secret. That Jenkins was the only human being
Speaker 4: who knew that Sir Rodrick was responsible for angel as suicide. Logically,
Speaker 4: he had to die first.
Speaker 2: And I still don't see that doctor.
Speaker 4: Stanley does, despite his son. Jenkins was the only human
Speaker 4: being who knew that doctor Stanley had a motive for
Speaker 4: killing Sir Rodrick.
Speaker 10: This is very melodramatic, Hume, But I haven't the faintest
Speaker 10: idea what you are talking about.
Speaker 11: Nor have I except that you seem to be laboring
Speaker 11: under the delusion that I killed Jenkins.
Speaker 4: Of course you did. You had to before you could
Speaker 4: kill Sir Rodrick. Had Jenkins lived, he would have been
Speaker 4: suspicious of his master's death. But if he were out
Speaker 4: of the way, no one would have connected Sir Rodrick's
Speaker 4: close friend and physician with his murder. The seller's stairs
Speaker 4: attempt failed, but last night's poison did not, and I tried.
Speaker 2: To repeat the patent. The glass over there contains strichenen
Speaker 2: and water.
Speaker 11: Of course it does. I assure you this mention is
Speaker 11: perfectly harmless. To prove it, I shall drink it myself.
Speaker 2: Bobby Watson put don't put it down. I said, it's right.
Speaker 4: None was meant for you, Roderick. It was too good
Speaker 4: for you, considering the way you treated my sister, angelmin.
Speaker 2: Hatch.
Speaker 4: He's Deadham yes, and you, Sir Roderick, have escaped to
Speaker 4: brother's vengeance. I'm almost sorry that I insisted on trying
Speaker 4: to save your wretched life. Well, just as you have saved.
Speaker 10: I don't expect anything as conventional as thanks or remorse.
