WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:02.879 This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be 2 00:00:02.919 --> 00:00:05.519 transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave 3 00:00:05.879 --> 00:00:08.480 and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces 4 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:16.000 Radio Service. Pet Tree Wine brings you Basil Rathbone and 5 00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:26.199 Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The 6 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.199 Petree family, the family that took time to bring you 7 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.960 good wine, invite you to listen to doctor Watson tell 8 00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:34.640 about another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, 9 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:38.920 that Mass Detective Sherlock Holmes. I suppose your dinner's well 10 00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.840 over by now, so now's the perfect time to get 11 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.439 out a bottle of that swell Petree California Port. You know, 12 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.880 Petree Port just made for a time like this after dinner, 13 00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.520 when you're just taking things easy. If you've ever tasted 14 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.079 Petre Port, you know what I mean. It's a hearty, 15 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.039 full bodied wine with a deep red color and a 16 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.200 favor that's just about out of this world. I think 17 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:03.640 that if you had only one wine to choose, and 18 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.799 the whole world to choose from, chances are you'd pick 19 00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:10.400 Port Petreport. That's how good I think it is. That's 20 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.760 saying plenty, I know, but I think Petreport will easily 21 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:15.719 live up to all I say about it. Try it 22 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.760 to see and share it with your friends. You can 23 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.959 serve Petreport proudly because the name Petrie is the proudest 24 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:39.640 name in the history of American wines. And now let's 25 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.840 visit our old friend, doctor Watson. Em here on the 26 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:50.760 petty mister porn. No one else join me as firing 27 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:54.480 the sunset, eh, doctor, Yes, my voice a particularly beautiful one. 28 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:56.159 Where the puppies listening. 29 00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.879 Asleep on a favorite treat coat of mine just come back. 30 00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.359 And you hadn't the heart to move them? I suppose, No, No, 31 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.519 I hadn't. The little fellows looked so comfortable. 32 00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:09.319 In fact, I sometimes wonder if the you woudn't come 33 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.840 here to listen to a dissertation on the behavior of dogs. 34 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.520 Well is getting your story time, doctor, Yes, of course 35 00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:22.280 it is. Well, just let me get my pipe probably lighted. Ah, 36 00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:23.479 that's it. 37 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.560 The story I'm angry to tell you tonight began in 38 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:28.719 nineteen hundred and nine. 39 00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:31.840 I received a telegram from my old friend. 40 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.159 Telling me that he was leading his Sussex b farm 41 00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:34.879 and coming. 42 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.000 To London for a few days. 43 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.280 I hadn't seen the great man for several months, though, 44 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:41.520 naturally I went to Victoria station to meet him. 45 00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:43.400 As a train drew to a. 46 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.080 Stop, the door of a first cast carriage swung open, 47 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:49.159 and stock Holmes, hand out stretched, jumped down onto. 48 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.919 The platform to greet. What's my dear fellow? HOWI Oh, 49 00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:55.400 hold my dear fellow. It's good to see you again. 50 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:59.159 I've missed you. And are you wichat heavy of bates? Yes, pot, 51 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:02.360 I'm getting a handsome char I wish I'd got a 52 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:04.840 fair room for nobody, wasn't I should be very comfortable 53 00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:06.639 at the Diogenes stop, by the way. I trust your 54 00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.159 free this evening here's naturally one of your plans probably 55 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.439 go to the Pura. Oh what play do you want 56 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:14.360 to see? I probably go to the Savoy here and 57 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.879 see the Shlock Holmes play. I hear it's enormously success 58 00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:18.680 and I know it is, but I've avoided it. 59 00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.919 I'm told it to Claude Houghton takes great liberties with 60 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.319 your character. And as for the actor portraying me, my 61 00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:29.080 friends told me the Travester he makes me nothing that 62 00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:30.719 a bumbling old. 63 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.840 Therefore, a visit to the play might be a salutary 64 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.039 experience for both of us. In any case, my tip 65 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.080 to London. This response to a urgent telegram from Support 66 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.599 himself seems to need my help brother badly. Oh well, 67 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.639 he wasn't specific in his telegram. He suggested, however, we 68 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.599 attend to Night's performance and discuss the matter with him afterwards. 69 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.199 I see, well, I suppose if you can sit through it, 70 00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.120 I can, of course, Kennal alarm. In any case, you 71 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.960 yourself are quite so responsible for the player's existence. I 72 00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:02.240 mean those sensational star who wrote of my muddiest problems. 73 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.199 I should have seen where they would eventually lead to 74 00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:09.879 in time though doctors he portrayed on the cinematograph as well. No, 75 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:13.759 that new fangled things on their toil, I think, not button. 76 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.960 We're on the edge of a strange, new mechanical world. 77 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:18.279 In fact, I begin to feel a certain concern about 78 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:22.680 the rumored developments in Wallace telegraphy. But enough of these predictions. 79 00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.079 It comes our order with a cap. They'll tell the 80 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:41.120 driver to take a strict to the savoy kurer. Just 81 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.360 look at that line of people at the City Box 82 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.560 Office home clapping old chat. Possibly, but I hope it 83 00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:51.439 doesn't mean that we've got a way to turn. Excuse me, gentlemen. 84 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.519 You're mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson an't chow. Yes, yes, 85 00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.560 I thought I couldn't be mistaken.

Watch the performance tonight, and watch the 110 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.519 audience too, particularly the occupant of the box opposite yours. 111 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:21.879 Please come to my dressing room as soon as the 112 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.480 last curtain has fallen. He's been very mysterious, and the 113 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.360 box ops is empty. No, no look what to look? 114 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.120 Saoneer's just t to count found at the house lights 115 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:35.000 going out the first act beginning Home the first act, Yes, 116 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:39.439 well said back and relax, old fellow.

In fact, one might assume that she was 122 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.519 trying to hide our face. 123 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.360 Yes, but the play. Don't you think it's ridiculous? Just 124 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:14.879 imagine a crown jeweled the stone. 125 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.560 From love and why not? It's been attempted many times. 126 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.000 Anyhow, you must admit that the actor who's portraying me 127 00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:24.560 behaves like like a blithering idiot, and the clause interpretation 128 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.800 of you is pretty far. 129 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.439 Fetched, far fetched.

I don't 134 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:47.839 think the girl saw him, though, attrack a pomo. I 135 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.959 think that the young ladies alone will take the liberty 136 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.399 of joiner oh dash? Should they go the lights again? 137 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.480 The second act starting now? And sit down, plow.

It's Saba started to 148 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.279 have the real couple walk into my book. 149 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.039 I quite understand by the way, just before the curtain 150 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.559 went up on the second Egy, I thought I was 151 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:47.720 just a man coming to the neck of this box 152 00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:50.759 and this disappear again.

You'd like you 155 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.960 tell us about it, Missus Henshaw, Alicia Henshaw, Yes, I will, 156 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.480 as a matter of fact. That's why I'm here tonight. 157 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.159 Sir Claude Houghton's an old friend of my father's. I 158 00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:06.320 had to ask his advice. 159 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:07.360 He did then. 160 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:09.639 Investigating himself for a few days, and then he found 161 00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.759 himself a little out of his depth, though he decided 162 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.120 to telegraph for you, mister Holmes. We were going to 163 00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.159 meet in his dressing room after the performance tonight. 164 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:20.159 BRender A Lama's Henshaw, what is your story? This strange and. 165 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.320 Mister Holmes, though I didn't realize just how strange until 166 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:25.080 I first saw this play a few nights ago. 167 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:26.399 You see, my. 168 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.559 Story concerns the stilen ruby good. 169 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.720 Lord to Night's Plain of all round the same thing exactly. 170 00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:34.679 I might as well tell you how it all started. 171 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.840 My brother is an officer in the British Army stationed 172 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.200 in Egypt. Earlier this year he saved the life of 173 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:43.240 a very important native personage and some uprising in Cairo, 174 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.480 and was rewarded with a magnificent ruby. This jewel he 175 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.000 sent to my uncle Timothy and me. Or where the 176 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.120 last did the henschages? 177 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.559 See? Did you rather tell you the name of this personage? 178 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.320 He did? Roar it, mister Holmes. Apparently the whole affair 179 00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:56.960 was hushed up, I see, Please continue. 180 00:09:57.519 --> 00:10:00.000 The trouble began shortly after Uncle Timothy and I received 181 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.919 the ruby. A description of it was published in the papers, 182 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.799 and a few days later a message came to us 183 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.039 from the Egyptian Mohammad Ali, laying claimed to the stone 184 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.840 as one stolen from his family years ago. He sent 185 00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.480 an expert to our house who examined the ruby under. 186 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.080 A lens, mister Holmes, and then kept it with a hammer. 187 00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:21.159 It fell to pieces twas a fraud, gracious, way amazing thing. 188 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.919 I'm sure that's not the end of the store, Miss Henshaw, Ohly, 189 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:26.879 mister Holmes, I wrote and told my brother what had happened. 190 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.320 He became very suspicious and suggested that I investigate the 191 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.639 credentials of the expert that examined the stone. 192 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.919 I think I can finish the story for you. The 193 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.039 supposed expert was a duelty who substituted a paste ruby 194 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.720 for the real one, destroyed the imitation. I walked off 195 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.399 for the treasure. It's no trick, of course. You haven't 196 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:46.279 been able to find any trace of the supposed expert. Well, 197 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.039 that's the funny part of mister Holmes. 198 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.840 Uncle Timothy and I gave a description to the police, 199 00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:53.840 but it was a very vague one, I'm afraid. All 200 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:56.440 the time, Uncle, the man reminded him of a colleague 201 00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.879 of his many years ago at the university, a professor 202 00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:00.799 of mathematics. 203 00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.720 He couldn't think of his name. 204 00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:04.879 But when we first saw the play a few nights ago, 205 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:05.799 it was reminded of it. 206 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:11.519 The name was Mariarti, Mariatti, But Mariarti's dead, as mans, 207 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:13.679 why you say you were? I can shadow it for 208 00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:17.559 some weeks. Yes, an Egyptian. You're still in the room. 209 00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.919 And mister Holmes, why don't they leave me alone that 210 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.879 miss Henshaw represents her. That's a very fascinating problem and 211 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.919 one that I shall be most happy to help you solve. 212 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:28.960 You so much the likes again the last act, Yes, 213 00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:31.200 the last act of this little play, but not I 214 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:35.639 fear of miss Henshaw's problems. Let's meet after the act 215 00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:51.679 in the class dressing room, Charley, Well, Holmes, how did 216 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.120 you enjoy the play? Very much? To claud May, I 217 00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.200 introduce my old friend, doctor Watson. How do you do 218 00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.080 as a car high doctor? I see you've already made 219 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:01.159 the acquenders of miss sne Or. She no doubt has 220 00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.559 totally her trouble then, and mister Holmes is promised to 221 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.240 help me splending. Tell me what's all? How did you like? 222 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:13.240 The Play's interesting? The claude not quite accurate? Of course? 223 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.039 Who tells you? You have to allow us a little 224 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.080 dramatic license. You know, what did you think of Rodney? 225 00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.840 The man who was praying you? Doc Oh, since you 226 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:23.679 mentioned it, I think the fellow needs to study addictionary. 227 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:29.720 Mumble so much, sir, I come, no, fellow, I think 228 00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:32.879 there are times when you're ill, go hard to understand yourself. 229 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.759 Oh rubbish, So Claude, I hope you'll meet us the 230 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:37.399 Diogenes Club and then we can go out and have 231 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:40.200 some supper. Excellent idea. I'll tell you there after I've 232 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.480 taken off my mates. Splendid. I think I should be 233 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:43.720 going home now to CLAWDS. 234 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:45.799 I gave my address to mister Holmes, so he knows 235 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:46.399 where to get. 236 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:49.120 In touch with the Wells. Don't worry. I shall give 237 00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.919 your problem my undivided attention. I'll take you to your cab, 238 00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.480 my deear. There's no need to say non. Some science 239 00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:02.440 sists to hatch on a good night. Goodnight, strange business 240 00:13:02.519 --> 00:13:04.720 homes would will you make a bit of very little 241 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.759 as yet, but it's a fascinating problem. 242 00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.440 Corre really seems to her have identified himself with the 243 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:11.919 character of Sherlock Holmes. 244 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.720 He gave me the impression that he feels quite capable 245 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:20.720 of solving the case by himself. Hello, claud hasn't left. 246 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:24.279 He's coming back in a moment, and you like to 247 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:30.759 play gentlemen very much. Your own performances, Mayati was most convincing. Congratulations, congratulations. 248 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.159 A couple of times there I had a strange feeling, 249 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:39.240 which you really Well, that's very flattering. Doctor. Oh hello, 250 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.480 all the sounds of there's some trouble at stage door? 251 00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:47.559 He excuse me? On what Let's follow him? Right? Hell, 252 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:52.039 that's the Clawn. He seems upset about something. Yes, what 253 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.200 happens Clawn, Oh Holmes, I just seen mis Hanshoff in 254 00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.799 her cap when her fam looking fellow him door way 255 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.279 and got into another. I heard him, felt that I 256 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.600 got to follow her. I tried to stop him, but 257 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:05.440 he got away. It must be the same man that 258 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.360 we saw in a box during the player as a cloud, 259 00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.039 and we have an address. I think we'll drive that 260 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:11.759 once and see that she's arrived safely. We'll join you 261 00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:25.519 later at the Diogenies Club. Well homes here we go 262 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.960 off on another adventure, yes, and one they may give 263 00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.600 us an opportunity of crossing tords with my auntie once more. 264 00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.039 Oh, Mariarch is dead. He was killed when you and 265 00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:35.759 he fell over the precipice in ninety one. 266 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:38.159 He was supposed to have been killed just as I was, 267 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:42.080 but his body was never found. It's impossible, or rather possible, 268 00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.399 that he returned to pour into the ears of Colonel 269 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:48.240 Morana's story as unlikely and as true, but the one 270 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.759 I related to you on that April evening in eighteen 271 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.759 ninety four, one can be sure of death, old chap 272 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:56.279 until one has touched the cold skin out a corpse. 273 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:08.159 Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a few seconds, 274 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:10.440 hardly time for me to tell you about a really 275 00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:15.279 great petree wine, Petrie California muscatel. Did you ever walk 276 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.600 through a vineyard early in the morning and pick a big, 277 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.840 juicy muscat grape right off the vine? 278 00:15:20.320 --> 00:15:20.960 M M. 279 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.720 If you've ever done that, then you know what to 280 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:27.480 expect when you taste petree muscatel. Petree muscatel is the 281 00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.399 color of golden sunshine, with a flavor to match, Sir, 282 00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.720 Petrie musketel after dinner some evening, or turve it anytime 283 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:38.000 friends drop in. It's a wonderful way to express your 284 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:53.519 hospitality with a wonderful wine, a pet tree wine. And 285 00:15:53.639 --> 00:15:56.759 now back to tonight's new Sherlock Holm's adventure. The famous 286 00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:59.759 pair have become involved in a strange mystery concerning a 287 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.080 story Ruby, a frightened girl, and an Egyptian who appears 288 00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.200 to be shadowing her. As we rejoined our story, Sherlock 289 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.679 Holmes and doctor Watson are standing in a darkened alleyway 290 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.000 adjoining the girl's home. Homes Look, look, look an Egyptian fellow. 291 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:14.639 He's pacing up and down in front of the house. Yes, 292 00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.200 therefore we may assume she's staying inside. Uh huh, thanks 293 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.679 for giving up. He's coming this way, exacting meself against 294 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:28.240 the wall. Please, sir, believe me. Who are you? Please? 295 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:31.120 We are friends of miss Henshaw, and we're very curious 296 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.200 to know why you've been following her. I am sorry 297 00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:35.879 that I cannot answer your question. Set. Look here, my man, 298 00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:40.000 you're talking to Sherlock Home. You are mister Sherlock Holmes. 299 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:43.080 I'm greatly honored to meet your set all my life. 300 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:44.919 I have known of you all my life. I have 301 00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:47.000 admired you. Then, in that case, that's you will answer 302 00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:50.600 my questions why have you been following miss Henshaw? Because 303 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.000 it is my duty for you in your duty, perhaps. 304 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.639 I should have said my destiny with Holmes for two 305 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.639 generations now, the family of a Rabbi, of which I 306 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.960 am remember, I have dedicated their lives to finding the 307 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:04.319 stolen treasure. 308 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.680 Of Ashun's what I gotta do with Miss Henshaw. The 309 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.599 treasure of Ashu. 310 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.200 It is a giant ruby. It was stolen many years 311 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.079 ago from the family of Muhammad Ali. A few months ago, 312 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:18.319 Miss Hanshaw received a mysterious ruvie. I have found out 313 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.680 many things, mister Holmes. I have many sources of information, 314 00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:21.960 and I. 315 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.319 Must regard you in the light of a rival detective. 316 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.599 In this case, I happily call myself the detective, mister Holmes. 317 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.000 My life is. 318 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:32.519 Dedicated to only one problem. Miss Hanshaw now says the 319 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:33.759 jewel was stolen from her. 320 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.920 I do not believe it. That is why I watch her. 321 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:39.759 If I am wrong this time, and I do not 322 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:43.920 think I am wrong, then my quest must go on always. 323 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:45.759 It would go on. Permit me to wish you the best, 324 00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:50.079 But sir, thank you, mister Holmes. Good night, gentlemen, meet again. 325 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:54.400 Oh why did you let him go? Why not? He's 326 00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.480 frightening Miss Henshaw, but not molesting her old chap. In fact, 327 00:17:57.559 --> 00:17:59.279 it might be a good thing if someone is keeping 328 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:02.000 an eye on her. Meanwhile, Watson, let's see if we 329 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.200 can find a cab and get back to the diaponies. Bubye, 330 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:13.920 I don't want to keep the cloud waiting. I thought 331 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.440 I have the clad Hawking arrived yet, Yes, mister Holmes 332 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.759 here and another gentleman came in about five minutes ago. 333 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.200 They went up to the library. The other gentleman is 334 00:18:21.319 --> 00:18:30.400 just like, I see, thank you this way, Watson. I'm sorry, 335 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.279 sir Cord. We kept you waiting. We took a little long. 336 00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.160 But it's a Cord, great heaven. What's the matter with him? 337 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:44.519 Of course I found the answer too late. It's it's 338 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:47.799 as they're trying to send up your ill. What are 339 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.759 you trying to tell me? The Ruby? The Ruby Marioty 340 00:18:54.240 --> 00:19:03.000 The answer the answers, m h. The book. The book 341 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:11.680 was the clud Holmes. He's been stabbed. He's dead, just 342 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:13.160 as he was trying to give me a message. He 343 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.319 is muttering something about the Ruby and Mariarty, and twice 344 00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:19.119 he said it's in the book. Yes, there's a book 345 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:24.319 still in his hand. It's coffee. It tells of Edgar 346 00:19:24.440 --> 00:19:28.400 Allan Pearls Dams marking page, the story of the Pearline Letter. 347 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:31.880 Thank you, sup Claude, you delivered your message. Come on, Watson, 348 00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:33.920 we want to catch a murder and a thief. We 349 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.640 must go back to the Savoy tell as quickly as 350 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:49.240 we can. Why do you suppose the Claude was murdered 351 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.319 because it was too curious in investigating the problem of 352 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.640 the stolen ruby and found out something something he promised 353 00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:57.720 to tell me at supper, I remember, and so he 354 00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:59.160 was killed by a man who came with him to 355 00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.599 the club tonight.
