Holmes, as you know, 7 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.160 in his uh cerebral processes, was the neatest and most 8 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:25.359 methodical individual, But in his personal habits he was the 9 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.879 untidiest man that ever drove a fellow lodger to distraction. 10 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.920 Not that I'm what you'd call painfully tide in myself. 11 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.200 On now, doctor Watson, you're always need as a pen 12 00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:36.320 with clipper crafts. 13 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.000 That's easy, But don't interrupt me. 14 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:39.679 Where was I? 15 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.960 Oh?

I don't doctor imagine 21 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.719 then my surprise when on returning one afternoon from making 22 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.400 my medical rounds, I found Homes in a stiff collar 23 00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.120 and wearing his Prince Albert.

Missus must Why it's not Missus 52 00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.919 Musgrave at all. It's the honorable Alice Adare, lady Maynooth's 53 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.319 charming sister in law. 54 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.439 I was Alisadair, doctor Watson until mister Holmes introduced me 55 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.080 to his old castmate, Reginald Musgrave some months ago. It 56 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.719 was one weekend last Scring when he escorted Lady Maynuth 57 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.639 and myself down to Sussex to view the Stuart Crown. 58 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.800 Right then and there I fell in love with Hurlstone 59 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.560 and determined to become its mistress. Of course I had 60 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.639 to marry Reggie to accomplish my purpose. 61 00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.080 Had him eeting out of her hand inside of twenty minutes, 62 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:05.319 one flutter of our eyelid, and Reggie was a goner. 63 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.159 And I never knew you even met the bladder, Sherlock. 64 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.120 You mean you didn't tell him about the wedding now, really, 65 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.879 that's too bad of you. Mister Holmes was best man, 66 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:16.199 doctor Watson though. Oh, Reggie and I were married in 67 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.599 a registry office. You know how skittery middle aged bachelors 68 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:20.639 are about a big wedding. 69 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.879 Well, my dear Alice, how are things at Helstone dreadful? 70 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:26.840 I'm so annoyed with Reggie I'm hardly speaking to him. 71 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.360 If he goes through with it, I shall divorce him, 72 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.520 whether I have grounds or not. Goes through with what 73 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:33.360 he's threatening to sell the estates. 74 00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.680 Oh good lord, no, Why the Musgraves have always lived. 75 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:38.360 At Helstone, That's what I keep telling him. 76 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.400 Besides, it's famous since the oldest inhabited building in the country. 77 00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:44.919 That's what he keeps telling me. He says it's too 78 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.280 old to be inhabited any longer. He has absolutely no 79 00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.759 feeling for all those darling old mullioned windows and the 80 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.120 beautiful old mantlepieces and paneling. Keeps on telling me it's 81 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.280 damp and drafty. It's his rheumatism, of course, it makes 82 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.080 him so unreasonable. That and that wretched Stuart Crown you 83 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.719 discovered for him, Sherlock, did you have to do that? 84 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.039 But my dear Alice, he was delighted when we found 85 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.240 the Royal Diadem. If I'd handed him a million pounds, 86 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:10.400 he couldn't be more excited. 87 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.360 Well, it's turned out to be a regular Frankenstein's monster. 88 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.319 People come from all over to see the stupid thing. 89 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:20.480 They come in drones, by carriage, and cherubar and lorry 90 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.000 they come and being their lunches. 91 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.680 We haven't a moment's privacy. 92 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:25.600 Why doesn't he send it off to a museum where 93 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.040 it belongs, because that's. 94 00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.079 What the government wanted him to do in the first place. 95 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.800 Where all things have been going from bad to worse. 96 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.279 All those trippers tramping through the shrubbery were bad enough, 97 00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:39.199 But that dreadful boy yesterday afternoon, that's what really put 98 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.399 the the petticoats on the queen. 99 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:43.720 What boy are you referring to, Alice? 100 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.240 That horrible little urchin we found in the tea garden 101 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.959 pulling up ridges, prize petunia by the roots? 102 00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:57.720 Hell, here, I say, what's this?

And if it weren't for the Crown, I'm 143 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.560 sure Hennessip Plunkett wouldn't dream of buying it. 144 00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.439 Hurlstone in the possession of Hennis Hip Plunkett, the pickle King, 145 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.079 it'd be sacrilege. 146 00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:43.480 He even talks about putting out a new brand Crown 147 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.319 pickles with a picture of the Stuart Crown on. 148 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.480 The bottle, or shocking that taste. 149 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.480 I will not have that dreadful old vulgarian strutting around 150 00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:55.920 the property.

There's well, there's no 168 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.199 plumbing in that part. 169 00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:42.480 Of the house. 170 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.759 Look here, miss Musgrave.

Good enough for me? 173 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:56.319 Yes, But that is if you're a light sleeper, well 174 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.279 the ghost might keep you awake. 175 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.480 Ghost here, I was grave.

He doesn't begin 181 00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.439 to know all the historical facts about this house. Now, 182 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:17.920 since I came here, I've been reading up on all 183 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.040 the old documents in the library.

I guess those Britishers 187 00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:30.560 were kind of rugged in the olden days. So the 188 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.960 place has a ghost. He You know, I've always sort 189 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.639 of had a hankering to me to spook. Don't have 190 00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:37.480 anywhere I come. 191 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:40.679 From, really, no ghosts in Pittsville. 192 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.879 Pittsburgh, That's where I hear from, Miss Musgrave. I was 193 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:48.639 born a shack in Shannytown. Imagine if ire stand up 194 00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:51.480 sleeping in the bed King Charles slept in, he with 195 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:51.960 a ghost. 196 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.440 Besides, it's rather an unpleasant ghost. 197 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.279 I'm afraid the ghost of Lady Daphney who shot her 198 00:08:59.360 --> 00:08:59.919 lover in the way. 199 00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.200 You don't say, tell me about it. 200 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.720 Well, it seems that Lady Daphne's husband was always going 201 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.639 off to the wars, leaving her behind with her housekeeping 202 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.600 and her needlework. Now women didn't read in those days, 203 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.039 you know, so she had no good books to divert 204 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:19.200 her mind. Suddenly one morning, a young huntsman, all in green, 205 00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:20.919 drove up on a chestnuts stallion. 206 00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:24.039 Nice colorccommodation, my dear, don't interrupt, Reggie. 207 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.000 Well, it seemed that he'd been gored by a deer 208 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.559 or something, so Lady Dafne put him in the best 209 00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.399 guest room the. 210 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:32.799 King Charles had made famous. 211 00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.759 Don't miss, stupid Reggie. This was back in the days 212 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.039 of the Plantagenets. The Stuarts hadn't. 213 00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:38.440 Even been heard of. 214 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.039 Lady Dafne nursed the huntsman back to health and fell 215 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.720 in love with him. It created quite a scandal, I guess, 216 00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:47.919 because pretty soon even though Rod Musgrave heard about it 217 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.279 and came sneaking back from the wars one dark night. 218 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:52.759 Very unsporting of them. 219 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.960 Rather yeah, well, of course you couldn't really sneak very 220 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.200 successfully in the armor they wore in those days. 221 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:00.879 So the Lady Daphne and her. 222 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:03.879 Lover heard him tiptoing up the hall, and quick as 223 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.759 a flash, Lady Daphne shoved her lover into a sort 224 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.960 of cupboard in the wainscutting, and when Lord Musgrave came 225 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.559 clattering in, she was back in bed, sound asleep. 226 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.679 She looked so pretty there. He didn't have the heart 227 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.279 to wake her. 228 00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.159 He just called a couple of his serving men, and 229 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.120 they boarded up the closet with the lover inside. 230 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.200 And the lady and her lover were so terrified they 231 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:27.080 never said boom, and the poor chap just sat there 232 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.000 and quietly suffocated to death. 233 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.480 Hejie, I thought you didn't know that story. 234 00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:34.879 Yes, I fancy I've read that manuscript at some time 235 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:35.240 or other. 236 00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.960 Well, finally, after several days, the Lady Daphne couldn't stand 237 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.080 the strain any longer. She took out her husband's revolver 238 00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:45.840 and fired a shot through the wainscutting, and pretty soon 239 00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.080 a slow trickle of blood came out under the floor. 240 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.039 That's a departure I hadn't read about. 241 00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.360 Lord Musgrave pretended not to notice, but went calmly back 242 00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:57.159 to the walls. The Lady Daphne's hair turned completely white, 243 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.279 of course, and you can still see her one ring 244 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.399 about the room, moaning and wringing her hands. So, dear 245 00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.320 mister Plunkett, I really don't think you should sleep in 246 00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:09.840 the Stewart room if you suffer from insomnia. 247 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:13.679 Oh don't you worry, Miss Musgrave. If anyone's gonna be 248 00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:15.799 scared tonight, it'll be Lady Daphney, not. 249 00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:27.159 Me, Passir Dr Watson the pot Sherlock. That's a good fellow. 250 00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.440 His glass is empty. Oh oh, what's up, Reggie. Oh 251 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.320 just a twinge in my left knee. Must be a 252 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:35.919 storm coming up. That knee's a regular barometer. 253 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:40.679 Hm dashed fine port you have, Musgrave must be old. 254 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.559 My dear mister Pluckett. The port in this house was 255 00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.320 laid down by my great grandfather. 256 00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:49.440 Oh, we don't say the cellar goes to the house, 257 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:50.120 of course. 258 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.039 What remains of it? Only three bottles left beside this one. 259 00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:56.679 Fraid all my forebears have been heavy pot drinkers. 260 00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.480 Must Grave Port has always been famous, mister Plankett. 261 00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:00.440 Oh, yes, to Watson. 262 00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:02.279 Nothing could persuade be the pop of the place that 263 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:04.279 we still had the cellar we had my grandfather's or 264 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:10.200 even my father's day. Oh well, sick concert laureamum dip ah. 265 00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:11.480 Confound at me. 266 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:15.480 It's a reliable weather profit at any rate, Here comes 267 00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:16.000 the storm. 268 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:21.480 I can't say I like thunderstorms. Never have got some 269 00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:23.440 bad ones in the Alleghenies. When I was a boy, 270 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.799 I've seen lightning bounce off of those mountains like it 271 00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:29.519 was the devil playing nine pins. All was crawled into 272 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.360 my old man's feather bed when I heard it coming. 273 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:34.799 Lightning can't get you if you're in a feather bed. Yeah, 274 00:12:36.039 --> 00:12:38.200 you wouldn't have a feather bed here at Urlstone. 275 00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.519 Why, yes, we have some either down coverlets, I believe. 276 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.320 But don't you need to be too warm? I mean 277 00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:46.080 he's still in the beginning of September. 278 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.279 The blazers with the heat. You tell Devers to bring 279 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:49.919 me a couple up to my room. I'm gonna get 280 00:12:49.960 --> 00:13:03.600 into bed right now, and you can light the fire 281 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:05.000 in that fireplace, yes. 282 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.919 Sir, but if you're going to retire, don't give. 283 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:11.000 Me an argument. Lightning has a habit of coming down chimneys. 284 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.120 It's not a kind of the draft and the cold air. 285 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:15.000 But if there's a fire lit in his hot air 286 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:15.960 going up, it can't get in. 287 00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.159 That was a close one, wasn't It sounded like it 288 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.279 hit the old oak. 289 00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:25.320 Lightning is always hitting the old oak, but it doesn't 290 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.559 seem to mind that was the oak mentioned in the ritual. 291 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.559 You know, I've been here since the Norman invasion. They 292 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:33.919 say light that fire. 293 00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.360 That blast hit a very good sir, very good. 294 00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:43.240 There you are, said, helped me off with my boots? 295 00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.200 Why you are shifting? 296 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:46.240 So that's the fact. 297 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:48.720 I can even hear your teeth chattering. 298 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:50.879 Never mind my teeth hamming my night shirt. 299 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:55.360 Should I bring you some water to wash and brush 300 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:55.879 your teeth? 301 00:13:56.240 --> 00:14:03.960 I don't brush my teeth.

It's a curtain rustling. That's what it is. 319 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:39.320 Old houses full of drafts, noises, and maybe I should 320 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:45.799 think twice before I buy the place. Still Blunkets Crown 321 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:51.919 pickles with the picture of the Stuart Crown, good advertising. 322 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:59.639 It sounds just like a woman's petticoat.
