I haven't seen the great man 23 00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.880 and for several months, so naturally I went to Victoria 24 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:03.840 Station to meet him. 25 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.040 As a train drew to a stop, the door. 26 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.280 Of a first cast carriage run open and Shelock Holmes 27 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:11.799 hand out stretch jumped down onto the platform. 28 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.000 Degree, what's my dear fellow? 29 00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.920 How are you o?

Yes, Patron gets a 32 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:22.879 handsome cab with him. 33 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:25.560 I wish I'd got a spare room for you. 34 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.120 It's nice to be very comfortable at the Diogenes Club, 35 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.000 by the way, I touch your free this evening. 36 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.680 Here's naturally what are your plans, pob we go to 37 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.120 the Thera? 38 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.439 Oh?

And as for the actor portraying me, my 44 00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.439 friends told me to travister he makes me nothing but 45 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.359 a bumbling old fool. 46 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.200 Therefore, a visit to the play might be a salutary 47 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.439 experience for both of us. Then, in case, my trip 48 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.159 to London is a response to her urgent telegram from 49 00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:03.640 Support himself seems to eat my help Rothera badly. 50 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.680 Oh, it trouble well, he wasn't specific in his telegram. 51 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.240 He suggested, however, if you attend to Night's performance and 52 00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:11.439 discuss the matter with him afterwards. 53 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:13.560 I see, well, I suppose if you can sit through it, 54 00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:14.039 I can. 55 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.560 Of course, you can alfer on.

Watch the performance tonight, and watch 106 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.759 the audience too, particularly the occupant of the box opposite yours. 107 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:45.079 Please come to my dressing room as soon as the 108 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:46.240 last kitting has fallen. 109 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.000 And he's been very mysterious. And the box opposite ours 110 00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:49.680 is empty. 111 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.040 No, no, no, look, what's you look? Someone has just entered, 112 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.959 confounded the house, lights going out the first texts beginning 113 00:04:56.040 --> 00:05:01.319 Home the purse axt Yes, well said back and relaxed, 114 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.439 old fellow.

In fact, one might 120 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:32.920 assume that she was trying to hide our face. 121 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.759 Is that the play don't you think it's ridiculous? Just 122 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.839 imagine a crown jeweled in stone and love. 123 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:39.360 Why not? 124 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:40.959 It's been attempted many times. 125 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.439 Anyhow, you must admit that the actor who's portraying me 126 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:48.720 behaves like like a blithering idiot, and so Claud's interpretation. 127 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.560 Of you is pretty far fetched. 128 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.360 Barthetched the flapping Watson. What poise? What suavity? What a poise? 129 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.720 I find myself thoroughly entertained. 130 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.920 You are a strange chap Holmes accounting for taste? 131 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.920 Stop what to look the back of the box over there? 132 00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.560 Good lord, I could have sworn a man dodged behind 133 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.360 the curtain. I don't think the girls saw him there 134 00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.720 attract a partner. I think as the young ladies alone, 135 00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.079 we will take a little bit of joining her. 136 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.120 Oh dash it. There go the lights again the second 137 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.160 act starting. 138 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.120 Man, and sit down below. We don't want to attract attention, 139 00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:22.120 and we will join her during the. 140 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:39.959 Next Intermissionman, why are you? 141 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.160 What do you want with me? 142 00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.600 My name is Shelock Combs and this is my colleague, 143 00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.160 Dr Watson. 144 00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.360 How do you do, young lady? 145 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.600 I hope you'll forgive this intrusion, but support the questioned 146 00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:49.680 that I keep an eye on you during the play tonight. 147 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.839 He's coming in sit down, won't you thank you? 148 00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:55.879 This is very kind of you. 149 00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.759 Must forgive my abruptness just now, and I've just been 150 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.519 watching share that cones and to Watson being impersonated on 151 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:03.839 the stage. It's it's rather startling to have the real 152 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:04.920 couple walk into my box. 153 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:06.079 I quite understand. 154 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:08.079 By the way, just before the curtain went up on 155 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.800 the second Egg guy, I thought I noticed a man 156 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.480 coming to the neck of this box and then disappear again. 157 00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:14.160 Were you aware of his presence? No? 158 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.240 No, I didn't see him, but I know who it 159 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.319 is and following me for weeks now. 160 00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.800 You'd like to tell us about it, Miss. 161 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.240 Henshaw, Alicia Henshaw, Yes I would, as a matter of fact. 162 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.800 That's why I'm here tonight. Sir Claude Houghton's an old 163 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.079 friend of my father's. I went to ask his advice. 164 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.800 He did some investigating himself for a few days, and 165 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.800 then he found himself a little out of his depth, 166 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.480 though he decided to telegraph for you, mister Holmes. We 167 00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:39.240 were going to meet in his dressing room after the 168 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:40.000 performance tonight. 169 00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.680 Blender and Amas Henshaw, what is your story? 170 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.160 It's strange when, mister Holmes, though I didn't realize just 171 00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.399 how strange until I first saw this play a few 172 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:52.000 nights ago. You see, my story concerns a stolen ruby. 173 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.639 Lord Tonight's fair of all around the same thing exactly. 174 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.600 I might as well tell you how it all started. 175 00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.279 My brother's officer in the British Army stationed in Egypt 176 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.519 earlier this year. He saved the life of a very 177 00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.600 important native personage and some uprising in Cairo, and was 178 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.839 rewarded with a magnificent ruby. This jewel he sent to 179 00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.399 my uncle Timothy and me. Or where the last did 180 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:14.000 the Henschager? 181 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.319 You see? 182 00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:16.560 Did you bother tell you the name of this personage? 183 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.000 He didn't know it, mister Holmes. 184 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:19.600 Apparently the whole affair. 185 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:20.959 Was hushed up, I see. Please continue. 186 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.160 The trouble began shortly after Uncle Timothy and I received 187 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.600 the ruby. A description of it was published in the. 188 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.720 Papers, and a few days later a message came. 189 00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.639 To us from an Egyptian Muhammad Ali, laying claim to 190 00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.960 the stone as one stolen from his family years ago. 191 00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:36.879 He sent an expert to our house who examined the 192 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.639 ruby under a lens, mister Holmes, and then kept it 193 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.399 with a hammer. It fell to pieces. 194 00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:45.320 Twas a fraud, gracious way, an amazing thing. 195 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:47.840 I'm sure that's not the end of the story, Miss Henshaw. 196 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.440 Oh no, mister Holmes. I wrote and told my brother 197 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.679 what had happened. He became very suspicious and suggested that 198 00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.879 I investigate the credentials of the expert that examined the stone. 199 00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:59.159 I think I can finish the story for you the 200 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:01.759 supposed expert, But it was a dueltief who substituted a 201 00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:04.519 paste ruby for the real one, destroyed the imitation, and 202 00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:05.559 walked off for the treasure. 203 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.960 And it's no trick. Of course. You haven't been able 204 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.080 to find any trace of the supposed expert. 205 00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:13.559 Well, that's the funny part of mister Holmes. Uncle Timothy 206 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.679 and I gave a description to the police, but it 207 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:16.960 was a very vague. 208 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:17.399 One, I'm afraid. 209 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.200 All the time, Uncle said, the man reminded him of 210 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.879 a colleague of his many years ago at the university, 211 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.120 a professor of mathematics. 212 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:27.960 He couldn't think of his name, but when we first 213 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.000 saw the play a few nights ago, he was reminded 214 00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:35.320 of it.

Did you ever walk 299 00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.919 through a vineyard early in the morning and pick a big, 300 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:47.679 juicy muscat grape right off the vine. If you've ever 301 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.759 done that, then you know what to expect when you 302 00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:54.600 taste petree muscatel. Petrie muscatel is the color of golden sunshine, 303 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.480 with a flavor to match. Serve Petrie muscatel after dinner 304 00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.039 some evening, or serve it any times friends drop in. 305 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.840 It's a wonderful way to express your hospitality with a 306 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:20.120 wonderful wine, a petrie wine.

As 310 00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:32.919 we rejoin our story, Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson are 311 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.840 standing in a darkened alleyway adjoining the girl's home homes. 312 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.879 Look, look, look an Egyptian fellow. He's pacing up and 313 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:39.960 down in front of our house. 314 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.080 Yes, therefore we may assume she's safely inside. Uh huh, 315 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:46.759 seems to be giving up.

What do you mean your duty. 328 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:22.159 Perhaps I should have said my destiny, mister Holmes. For 329 00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:25.440 two generations now, the family of a rabbi of which 330 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.080 I am a humbled member, I have dedicated their lives 331 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:30.240 to finding the stolen treasure of Ashut. 332 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:32.679 Well, and I saw they're got to do with Miss Henshaw. 333 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.279 The treasure of Ashut is a giant ruby. It was 334 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:38.519 stolen many years ago from the family of Muhammad Ali. 335 00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.600 A few months ago, missus Henshaw received a mysterious ruby. 336 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:46.200 I have found out many things, mister Holmes. I have 337 00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:48.080 many sources of information. 338 00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:48.960 And I must regard you in the right of a 339 00:15:49.440 --> 00:15:50.240 rival detective. 340 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.559 In this case, I heartily called myself a detective, mister Holmes. 341 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:57.759 My life is dedicated to only one problem. Miss Henshaw 342 00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.720 now says the jewel was stolen from her. 343 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.840 I do not believe it. That is why I watch her. 344 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:05.679 If I am wrong this time, and I do not 345 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.279 think I am wrong, then my quest must go on 346 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:10.080 always it would go on. 347 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.200 Permit me to wish you the best of luck, sir. 348 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:16.080 Thank you, mister Holmes.

Why not? 350 00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:23.159 He's frightening Miss Hanshaw, but not molesting her old chaplain. 351 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:24.840 In fact, it might be a good thing if someone 352 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.679 is keeping an eye on her. And meanwhile, Watson, let's 353 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.120 say if we can find a cab and get back 354 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:30.120 to the Diogenous Club. 355 00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:31.559 I don't want to keep squat waiting. 356 00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:41.080 I thought I caught hawk and arrived. 357 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:43.799 Yet, yes, mister Holmes here and another gentleman came in 358 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.799 about five minutes ago. 359 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.200 They went up to the library.
