Speaker 1: And now I know our good friend doctor Watson's expecting us.
Speaker 2: Let's go in and join it. Good evening, doctor, my
Speaker 2: good evening.
Speaker 1: Say how are you feeling, doctor, all over that attack
Speaker 1: of flew your head.
Speaker 3: I'm feeling very much better, Thank you, my boy. I'm
Speaker 3: still a little weak. We old fossils take much longer
Speaker 3: to get over that sort of England the new young fellows.
Speaker 2: Well, you take good care of yourself, doctor. You've got
Speaker 2: a lot of friends, you know.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm really glad to hear that. Thank you, mister Bill.
Speaker 3: And now settle yourself down and I'll get on with
Speaker 3: tonight's new shut off Holmes Adventure.
Speaker 2: Where did it take place?
Speaker 4: You may not be.
Speaker 3: Familiar with the names of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney in Sack,
Speaker 3: but those are the four principal islands that make up
Speaker 3: the group known as the Channel Island.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, doctor, I have heard of him somewhere in
Speaker 1: the English Channel, aren't they between the southern coast of
Speaker 1: England and the northern coast of France?
Speaker 3: Right, my boy, though, I very much doubt if you
Speaker 3: ever heard of the tiny island on which this story happened.
Speaker 3: It was the island of Gath, a minute but self
Speaker 3: contained spot for the population of just under one thousand inhabitants, subsisting,
Speaker 3: and from what I saw of the island in those days,
Speaker 3: subsisting very well on its dairy products.
Speaker 2: Was it under the rule of the British government.
Speaker 4: Doctor, No, mister Bouto, not exactly.
Speaker 3: You see, the island belong to a family by the
Speaker 3: name of Horn. The head of the family, who was
Speaker 3: known as the Senor of Goth, was an independent ruler,
Speaker 3: owing nominal allegiance to the King of England. That allegiance
Speaker 3: was expressed by.
Speaker 4: One of those traditional ceremonies in which the.
Speaker 3: Senor annually presented one pound of freshly churned butter to
Speaker 3: a representative of the British Crown.
Speaker 2: Times haven't changed much, have they done?
Speaker 5: It?
Speaker 2: Pounder butter is still worth at king's ransom.
Speaker 1: But tell me what were you and the great Sherlock
Speaker 1: Horns doing on the island of Garth.
Speaker 3: Well, just coming to that, boy, We'll give you a minute.
Speaker 3: It was in the summer of eighteen hundred and ninety
Speaker 3: six when, to my utter amazement, Homes informed me that
Speaker 3: we were going to the island of Goth as the
Speaker 3: official representatives of the British Crown to accept the annual
Speaker 3: presentation of butter. At the time, I must confess I
Speaker 3: couldn't see why Holmes wants.
Speaker 4: To accept a ridiculous mission.
Speaker 3: It was only as we approached the island in a
Speaker 3: small fishing boat that he told me a great deal more.
Speaker 4: Was at stake but a pound of butter.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, mister Butter, I'm not much of a sailor, and
Speaker 3: as the wind was blowing hard and the sea racing, I'm.
Speaker 2: Afraid I wasn't a very intelligent, confessed tell Watson, Sumbiba, I.
Speaker 3: Hope so I feel wretch at home. I must say
Speaker 3: the whole trip seems exactly ridiculous to me. Plunging and
Speaker 3: bobbing about in a little boat in a raging current
Speaker 3: is because somebody wants to give somebody else.
Speaker 4: Apound of butter.
Speaker 6: You're all, Watson, you don't really think down mission is
Speaker 6: so innocuous to you?
Speaker 4: And then why are we going to the Island of God.
Speaker 2: Under the Island of Garth at the express wiship. It's
Speaker 2: present ruler math a Horn, Mother Horn.
Speaker 4: I never heard of it.
Speaker 2: It's an extremely spirited oldready and the only woman who.
Speaker 6: Dared tell a certain resident of Windsor Castle that you
Speaker 6: look deviolutionly dowdy for an empress Scott, you mean that,
Speaker 6: I mean that Watson, that Martha horns behests are not
Speaker 6: likely disregarded.
Speaker 2: Obviously she wishes to see me urgently.
Speaker 6: Also, my brother Mic put pressure on me. He reminded
Speaker 6: me that a visit to goth might be closely allied
Speaker 6: to this emerald type.
Speaker 5: In I wear.
Speaker 2: Of course, you recall the origin of.
Speaker 3: This pen natural that lady at Windsor Castle gave it
Speaker 3: to you after our little trouble last year, and there
Speaker 3: was stolen plans for the Bruce Parkington submarine exactly, my
Speaker 3: dear fellow.
Speaker 6: But remember that the spy Oberstein had put those plans
Speaker 6: up for auction in all the naval centers of Europe.
Speaker 2: Some hindupan nature must have leaked out.
Speaker 6: It's even possible that other powers may be able by
Speaker 6: now to duplicate the pride of our submarine.
Speaker 2: Freet and whoever controls the.
Speaker 6: Channel, Watson controls England.
Speaker 3: The dropping anchor, and yet we're still a quarter mile
Speaker 3: out from the Ireland.
Speaker 4: Why why do you think they're doing that?
Speaker 6: That comes the stepper here, tell us here the iss
Speaker 6: close to the island, as we may approach Mochief.
Speaker 2: We have already sent sieg notes. A smaller boat is
Speaker 2: putting out for you.
Speaker 3: It will be here in a little Why thank you
Speaker 3: for a smaller boat, Good Lord, Homes, you were hinting
Speaker 3: at the naval significance of the island of God. Yes,
Speaker 3: what whatever I was, what good would it be as
Speaker 3: a pot If even a small boat like this can
Speaker 3: only come within half a mile?
Speaker 4: Amit for a.
Speaker 2: Services or no?
Speaker 6: But we were speaking of submarines a gath I learned
Speaker 6: from the encyclopedia. Most's a magnificent interior cavern, accessible only
Speaker 6: through underwater channels.
Speaker 3: It's got an ideal natural harbor and drydock for a submarine.
Speaker 6: Fleets is slain and on the control of the island
Speaker 6: of Garth. Watson may well rest the fo the British Isles. Now,
Speaker 6: jap perhaps you will see why Micraft were so anxious
Speaker 6: for us to collect a pound of butter.
Speaker 3: Homes, doesn't it seem wonderful to be on land again.
Speaker 3: First a fishing smack, and then that rich ad little
Speaker 3: Rauhin boat, then the bucket swingers up to the face
Speaker 3: of the cliff.
Speaker 4: Now at last I can switch the legs.
Speaker 2: Dady, let me give your hand. You will soon get
Speaker 2: your land leg back.
Speaker 4: Thank you have a bit of shake here I must confess. Hello,
Speaker 4: who's that couple.
Speaker 2: Walking to orders welcoming committee? No doubt?
Speaker 1: How do you know mister Sherla Horns and doctor Watson,
Speaker 1: and will be to present myself.
Speaker 2: I'm doctor hugo oberbal do. How do you do?
Speaker 4: Doctor?
Speaker 1: And this is missus Reeves, the housekeep at Horncastle where
Speaker 1: you will be staying.
Speaker 7: How welcome to the island of God.
Speaker 2: Gentlemen, you are deputed to.
Speaker 1: Come and greet you and take you back to the castle.
Speaker 1: You can walk there across the cliff tops. It isn't
Speaker 1: very fast, clendid.
Speaker 6: I think my friend will appreciate traveling on tea firma
Speaker 6: once again.
Speaker 2: Dear me here, doctor, you are not a good salor.
Speaker 4: Perhaps perhaps about it I had a miserable crossing.
Speaker 2: I am sorry to hear it. I trust your short state.
Speaker 2: The castle will be some recompense for the journ.
Speaker 8: The farmer presentation of the butter will take place tonight.
Speaker 8: There will be no reason why you gentlemen cannot return
Speaker 8: to the mainland tomorrow.
Speaker 6: Oh, thank you, Missus Reeves. But it's more than likely
Speaker 6: that we shall stay on for a few days.
Speaker 7: It will be quite unnecessary.
Speaker 6: I'm afraid that is a matter for Missus Horn and
Speaker 6: ourselves to decide.
Speaker 8: I'm afraid that Missus Horn is incapable of making any
Speaker 8: further decisions.
Speaker 4: What do you mean, madam?
Speaker 1: Obviously you have not heard, but the news is slow
Speaker 1: in reaching the mainland.
Speaker 2: Missus Horn died yesterday. Died, good Lord, natural death as well.
Speaker 1: But of course I attended her myself, a simple case
Speaker 1: of heart failure.
Speaker 7: The poor lady died in her sleep.
Speaker 2: It shall we begin our walk to the custry.
Speaker 4: Joke Holmes has changing things. Do you suppose it was
Speaker 4: a natural death?
Speaker 6: I suppose nothing, Old Collo, But in almost twenty years
Speaker 6: of practice, I can recall precisely three clients, actual or potential,
Speaker 6: who died natural deaths.
Speaker 2: Come on, let's follow them.
Speaker 8: Mister Sherla Coombs, Doctor Watson, this is mister Christopher Horn,
Speaker 8: grandson of Missus Horn, and the new.
Speaker 9: Ruler of g Hello te' nice of your fellows to
Speaker 9: come over here.
Speaker 2: Too bad, you have to arrive just as poor old
Speaker 2: girl kicked the bucket.
Speaker 6: Though, allow me to offer my condolences on your grandmother's death.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 9: It was a ghastly business I found her, Christopher, frightful sight.
Speaker 2: There was an awful, an awful silly grin on the
Speaker 2: older's face.
Speaker 8: And don't you think it would be more to the
Speaker 8: point if you were to explain the ceremony in connection
Speaker 8: with tonight's presentation.
Speaker 9: You're right, breb Reeve is a terrible talent, but she
Speaker 9: is efficient, and what I do without her?
Speaker 2: Always ran everything for poor old granny. Why when the
Speaker 2: old girl was ill.
Speaker 8: Christopher, I gave you a schedule of the ceremonies this morning.
Speaker 2: What did you do with it? Thatshireevy.
Speaker 7: I don't know, and I have my own copy in
Speaker 7: the study.
Speaker 2: That's right, I don't know what I'd do without you.
Speaker 2: Excuse us a moment.
Speaker 4: I'll be back.
Speaker 3: Homest In thunder's going on here. That boy is completely
Speaker 3: under the father of missus Reeves. He was trying to
Speaker 3: tell us something that that frightful woman kept changing a subject.
Speaker 6: He spoke of an awful silly grin on the dead
Speaker 6: woman's face. Didn't that suggest something to you?
Speaker 3: Right, Joe, that's one of the characteristic symptoms of stricten
Speaker 3: Poisons Act.
Speaker 6: And perhaps he was going on to mention the equally
Speaker 6: characteristic arching of the body. You've got to get mister
Speaker 6: horn to ourselves for a little while, and you've got
Speaker 6: to examine the body of the dead woman.
Speaker 2: And it's going to be difficult.
Speaker 4: Hmm. There's a little.
Speaker 2: Balcony outside the window. Yes, tears, come along. Let's see
Speaker 2: what it leads to.
Speaker 3: The balcony seems to be right round this particular wing
Speaker 3: of the castle. Must have served as a lookout in
Speaker 3: the olden days. I wish the barcula were a little wider.
Speaker 3: Must be a shed drop of a couple hundred feet
Speaker 3: down for the rocks below.
Speaker 6: Hello, these mss be the windows of the room adjoining
Speaker 6: the one we just came out of. Let's go a
Speaker 6: little closer, show we may be able to find out something.
Speaker 4: Can you see anything?
Speaker 6: Yes, they're in there, missus Reeds and the boy. She's
Speaker 6: leaving the room. How's an opportunity. I'll tap on the window.
Speaker 6: He seems it he's coming to open it.
Speaker 2: What are you doing out there? Lying a few?
Speaker 4: Yes, my boys, it's quite beautiful.
Speaker 2: Mister Vaughan.
Speaker 6: Yes, mister Holmes, I was a great admira of your grandmother,
Speaker 6: and I was interested in what you were telling me
Speaker 6: of her death.
Speaker 2: She had a grin on her face, who said, yes
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 9: It was awful her Her body was all hunched up
Speaker 9: like a croquet hoop. Doctor Obervalt said it was perfectly
Speaker 9: all right, but I must.
Speaker 5: Say it to me.
Speaker 2: It was far from all right, I assure. And you
Speaker 2: started to say something else.
Speaker 5: What was it?
Speaker 2: Let me see you said when she was ill? Oh, yes,
Speaker 2: that was a silly business.
Speaker 9: When she was ill, she thought she was in danger
Speaker 9: from poisoning, so she she made Missus Reeves taste all
Speaker 9: her food and drink.
Speaker 2: You really, where is your grandmother's body now? In the
Speaker 2: west wing? The funeral has a bit morrow morning. I
Speaker 2: see where did missus Reeves go.
Speaker 7: Around the balcony behind you?
Speaker 8: Gentlemen listening to your conversation with the greatest interest, Christopher,
Speaker 8: let me warn you these men are the emissaries of
Speaker 8: the British government. They would stop at nothing to take
Speaker 8: the island over. These men are trying to influence you
Speaker 8: against me, against Trevi, who has looked after you ever
Speaker 8: since you were born, and who tries to protect you now.
Speaker 2: That your grandmother has gone and you are alone. Yes,
Speaker 2: I know that's wrong.
Speaker 8: Is your pride is the head of the Horn family,
Speaker 8: the seneur of gas the gas that I'm trying.
Speaker 2: To say for you.
Speaker 7: This man is completely I'm scrupulous.
Speaker 8: He was about to accuse me of murder, weren't you,
Speaker 8: mister Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 2: The thought had occurred to me, missus Reeves, of course it.
Speaker 8: Had, because you wish to poison Christopher's mind against me. Well,
Speaker 8: mister Holmes, we have no police on the island of
Speaker 8: goth Our.
Speaker 7: Only law is the word of the.
Speaker 2: Senor, and Christopher now holds that title.
Speaker 4: Senor. What do you say?
Speaker 8: Will you allow an Englishman to blind you by accusing
Speaker 8: me of.
Speaker 2: Being a murderess? Mister Holmes, Doctor Watson, I shall meet
Speaker 2: you at the ceremony tonight. Beyond that, I don't care
Speaker 2: to spit you again.
Speaker 8: Good day, ashamed despoil your plans, isn't it, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: Well on, so, magnificent Watson, magnificent and murderess who seeks
Speaker 6: to defeat me by accusing herself superb Then you gave Marty.
Speaker 2: Hello, and one, but Miste paid for finish.
Speaker 1: We'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
Speaker 1: a second, So I'm just going to remind you that
Speaker 1: right now is one time you'd really enjoy a glass
Speaker 1: of Petree California Port.
Speaker 2: You couldn't ask for a more delicious wine.
Speaker 1: Petre Port, with its deep, rich red color and its
Speaker 1: heart of the great flavor, is one of America's all
Speaker 1: time favorite wines. Pet Report is wonderful after dinner and
Speaker 1: perfect to serve when company comes. Try it, but just
Speaker 1: remember that when you want the kind of port I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, you've got to make sure it's Petre Port,
Speaker 1: because all Petree wines are good wines. Doctor Watson, this
Speaker 1: is certainly an unusual story you're telling us tonight. What
Speaker 1: happened after Missus Reeves left you and Sherlock Holmes standing
Speaker 1: on the balcony, We've to our.
Speaker 3: Runs and herd a quart and learning lunch there the
Speaker 3: great Man's little I could see that he was deeply
Speaker 3: excited that his keen brain was evolving some plan that
Speaker 3: would enable us to solve the mister Missus Horn's death.
Speaker 4: After lunch we started.
Speaker 3: To descend the stairs leading to the main hall of
Speaker 3: Garth Castle.
Speaker 4: Because we did so, Homes said, there are.
Speaker 2: No danger ourselves.
Speaker 6: Missus Reeves knows that we're here as emissaries of the
Speaker 6: British government.
Speaker 3: If we didn't return with the butter within a few days,
Speaker 3: it'd be a British dreadnought here.
Speaker 4: Looking for us.
Speaker 2: However, I am in danger of one of my worst defeats.
Speaker 2: My professional pride is peaked. If only I.
Speaker 6: I Watson at home, if at any time today i'd
Speaker 6: the pure note, don't read it at once. But there
Speaker 6: comes Missus Reeves precisely. Marts and I entirely agree. If
Speaker 6: I do not make the test on Missus Horn's body
Speaker 6: within twenty four hours of our death, it will be useless.
Speaker 2: I must make it by three o'clock this afternoon. Mister Holmes,
Speaker 2: Oh yes, Missus Reeves.
Speaker 8: I want to apologize for my behavior before lunch. I
Speaker 8: was intolerably rude. What tever of my quaros Maybe with
Speaker 8: British politics. I at least oh to both of you
Speaker 8: the duties of hospital.
Speaker 2: It's very gracious of you, Missus Reeves.
Speaker 6: I wonder would your hospitality also include a personally conducted
Speaker 6: tour of the subterranean caverns for which this island has
Speaker 6: become internationally famous, would be really interesting. Well, i've heard
Speaker 6: my friend and I won't have the monotor. We have
Speaker 6: plenty of time, as long as we're back here by
Speaker 6: three o'clock.
Speaker 8: I'm sure doctor Overbold would be delighted to join us.
Speaker 7: He has made quite a study of the unique rock.
Speaker 6: For me, that's splendid, and it should prove a most
Speaker 6: interesting excursion.
Speaker 2: Good homes, why.
Speaker 4: Do we want to go stomping around a lot of dampens?
Speaker 2: Well, they call the exercise what it was? Good old
Speaker 2: will you lead the way, missus reeves, and please remember
Speaker 2: that it's most important that I return.
Speaker 8: Remember, mister Holmes, you must be back here by three
Speaker 8: old club. Little further mister Holmes, and we shall reach
Speaker 8: the giant cavern Ah.
Speaker 2: Most interesting.
Speaker 6: Watson and doctor Auberbald seem to have lagged behind us.
Speaker 7: Someone they will be here in a moment.
Speaker 6: There, This is the giant cavern Ah, magnificent, truly a
Speaker 6: miracle of nature.
Speaker 2: It's a natural submarine dry duck hewn out of the rocks.
Speaker 8: Yes, mister Holmes, And in the olden days only the
Speaker 8: smugglers who inhabited this island knew the entrance that leads
Speaker 8: to this cave. The first tenure of Garth found a cashier,
Speaker 8: One told wealthy in here soup stewels, there are still
Speaker 8: the remains of some of the finest calveds.
Speaker 2: Brandy is up an incomparable drink.
Speaker 7: Would you care for some?
Speaker 8: It is our cu them whenever visitors aner us with
Speaker 8: their business to offer them.
Speaker 5: There is a natural shell here in the rock, per.
Speaker 7: Amister Holmes, and here is a class.
Speaker 2: This is a rare privilege. I imagine that very few
Speaker 2: people have been offered.
Speaker 8: Only our most distinguished visitors.
Speaker 6: I assure you this cavan is completely inaccessible from the
Speaker 6: outer sea.
Speaker 8: I presume completely, unless, of course, ships could swim under
Speaker 8: the sea with shells.
Speaker 2: You know as well as I. They can't missus reams
Speaker 2: even outside the imaginings.
Speaker 8: Indeed, would you care to explore a little deeper?
Speaker 2: The others will be with us soon.
Speaker 4: To overpow. The others will be somewhere head of us.
Speaker 2: Yes they do, don't they dot home home?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 2: I tar me, I'm afraid we cannot follow that.
Speaker 5: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: The next cavern is already cut off by the rising tide.
Speaker 4: Wait you mean that cut off?
Speaker 2: I am afraid so, But do not worry here doctor.
Speaker 2: In a few hours the tide will we see it.
Speaker 2: They are in no danger. Just shall I say, temporarily more.
Speaker 2: I can't understand it.
Speaker 6: I'm getting confronted with Sleepy.
Speaker 7: I'm so sorry. I'm afraid that we stayed here longer
Speaker 7: than I intended.
Speaker 8: I fear that we are cut off by the tide.
Speaker 2: Cut off for the tide fair in no danger.
Speaker 7: In a few hours we should be able to return.
Speaker 8: But I am afraid I cannot get you back at
Speaker 8: three o'clock, which was the time I promise.
Speaker 6: But it's vital, perhaps absolutely the vitals that I can
Speaker 6: get back.
Speaker 2: As so look, Sleepy, please keep talking.
Speaker 5: I must keep awake, not a Google.
Speaker 4: I must get to schla Coms at once.
Speaker 1: I am sorry here DOTRM, but we are not able
Speaker 1: to control the forces of nature. We cannot force the
Speaker 1: water to receive.
Speaker 2: Your friend is in no danger. But he's got a
Speaker 2: most important test that he must make by three o'clock.
Speaker 2: I am afraid that will be impossible.
Speaker 4: I've got to do something. I should have come to
Speaker 4: these blocks and claims the first place. I don't on
Speaker 4: earth I want to do that note at homes gave
Speaker 4: me told me to what if? Where did I put it?
Speaker 6: Ah?
Speaker 2: Here it is not for mister Shellack Holms.
Speaker 4: Why don't you make medical tests?
Speaker 3: Great Scott dot overall is absolutely necessive for me to
Speaker 3: return to the.
Speaker 4: Castle at once.
Speaker 1: Indeed notes for mister Sherlock Holmes, and now it is
Speaker 1: most important that you return to the castle. No, my
Speaker 1: fine English friend, I am afraid I cannot allow you to.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you propose to stop with her?
Speaker 2: You say this so while a bot and do you
Speaker 2: see the stick? I warn your head dot Com? I
Speaker 2: know you don't.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry you can't hear me.
Speaker 3: Doctor over vote, But when Sherlock Holmes gives me orders,
Speaker 3: I carry them out.
Speaker 2: Ah, missus Reeves still trapped of the tide. What time
Speaker 2: is it?
Speaker 8: I'm afraid that you will be a trifle late for
Speaker 8: your importance appointment.
Speaker 6: You deliberately tracked me here, you drug the frank and
Speaker 6: kept me a prisoner.
Speaker 5: Did I now?
Speaker 2: Why should I do that, mister Holmes?
Speaker 6: Because you're agreeing with power that's obvious in our domination
Speaker 6: of that pleasant to weak young man who is now
Speaker 6: seen your at Goth. I'm sure your beliefs would find
Speaker 6: support in certain ideologies now arising in Germany. You are
Speaker 6: a choice of a German doctors and accomplish in your plans.
Speaker 2: Would support that theory.
Speaker 7: And what might my plans be?
Speaker 6: I should say that you're determined to give God as
Speaker 6: a submarine based to Germany. With this island and their power,
Speaker 6: they could control the channel.
Speaker 8: Very interesting, and I suppose, as well as being a spy,
Speaker 8: I'm responsible for missus Harn's murder.
Speaker 6: You and doctor oberbauve between you and she was too
Speaker 6: strong for you not to get her out of the way.
Speaker 6: You probably made subtle attempts on her life at first,
Speaker 6: the origin of which he did not realize, that which
Speaker 6: caused her adventually to send to me my arrival Foth
Speaker 6: your hand, and so you and doctor Oberwald resort into
Speaker 6: the quite unsubtle expedient of poisoning her.
Speaker 8: All pure supposition, mister Holmes, the only law on this
Speaker 8: island is Christopher Horn.
Speaker 2: Do you suppose he will believe you?
Speaker 6: I suppose it were you've outwitted me, Missus Reeves. I
Speaker 6: walked into your track just as you intended me to.
Speaker 8: Then in that case, you may collect your pound of
Speaker 8: butter tonight and return to the mainland to marsh Reeves.
Speaker 2: How much longer do we have to wait to the
Speaker 2: tide before we can make our way back to the castle.
Speaker 8: We can leave now. We could have left at any time.
Speaker 8: There's another secret entrance that is above the tide level.
Speaker 8: I merely had to make you overstay the hour of
Speaker 8: your test. I could not risk Christopher seeing definite proof.
Speaker 8: Come now I shall lead you back, you.
Speaker 4: Fool homes homes, Where have you been all this time?
Speaker 2: My bat watching? Do you open the note followed my instruction?
Speaker 4: Yes, it was that you've suspected.
Speaker 2: Thank keaven Old Chap. Then now we can hoist with
Speaker 2: her own the touch comes.
Speaker 8: I am glad to see, gentlemen, that you have assembled
Speaker 8: here in the same year's room the ceremony of presenting
Speaker 8: the butter Traditionally it takes place here.
Speaker 7: As soon as Christopher arrives.
Speaker 8: We will explain our customs in this matter, Doctor Watson.
Speaker 8: I trust that Haro Obervald proved an interesting companion and
Speaker 8: your excursion, yes, indeed most interesting.
Speaker 3: We had a discussion of the relative minute to the
Speaker 3: walking stick versus the revolver. I think I was able
Speaker 3: to make my argument convincing.
Speaker 7: There is doctor the Bouts now.
Speaker 4: I imagine he's lying down. He had all the symptoms
Speaker 4: of impending headache when I saw.
Speaker 7: Him last Why are you smiling, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: What's been going on?
Speaker 6: I'm afraid, Missus Reeves, the job plans have misfired rather badly.
Speaker 6: As soon as mister Van arrives, I expect you will
Speaker 6: be under arrest for murder and high treason.
Speaker 9: Christopher would never believe you, wouldn't I, Missus Reeves, you
Speaker 9: poisoned my grandmother?
Speaker 2: Christopher?
Speaker 7: What lies have these men being telling you?
Speaker 9: You're the one that's been telling me lies. I believe
Speaker 9: you when you said you've been tasting the old lady's food.
Speaker 9: When Dr Watson showed me the results of his test
Speaker 9: this afternoon.
Speaker 2: And was as scary as daylight.
Speaker 8: This could prove nothing after twenty four hours had passed,
Speaker 8: you said so yourself, mister.
Speaker 6: Hol deliberate time, Missus Reeves, I'm afraid that I invented
Speaker 6: that mythical twenty four hour test. I knew that as
Speaker 6: soon as I mentioned it, you would attempt to prevent
Speaker 6: my carrying it out.
Speaker 2: So I was delighted when you fell into my trap.
Speaker 6: You thought that you were shanghaiing me, whereas in reality
Speaker 6: I was shanghai and you. My job is to prove
Speaker 6: your guilt to the Signor. With your dominant presence away
Speaker 6: from the household. It was easy for doctor Watson to
Speaker 6: make his test.
Speaker 2: You devil.
Speaker 6: You knew all the time, of course I did, but
Speaker 6: I had to deceive you. I'm glad my performance was
Speaker 6: sufficiently convincing. By the way, Missus Reeves, the drug brandy
Speaker 6: was dreadfully clumsy.
Speaker 4: You didn't drink it.
Speaker 2: Home, of course I didn't, but it was very unflattering
Speaker 2: to me that Missus Reeves thought I might. Missus Reeves,
Speaker 2: you realize what this means, don't you.
Speaker 9: I'm going to ask these gentlemen to take you and
Speaker 9: doctor about back to the mainland with them tomorrow.
Speaker 2: And stamp trial in a British court.
