Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson.
Speaker 2: What about the adventure of the Gray Pasha.
Speaker 3: Well, mister Harris. It took place in the spring of
Speaker 3: eighteen ninety seven, a few days before the classic Darby
Speaker 3: race at epsom Down's. The odds on favorite that year
Speaker 3: was a house named Gray Pasha owned by Lord and
Speaker 3: Lady Kimpton, and the second favorite was Roulette, owned by
Speaker 3: a clubman and man about town named Alex Brand. Lord
Speaker 3: Kimpton and Brand hated each other, mod and London gossip
Speaker 3: whispered that Lady Kimpton was a vision. Then one night
Speaker 3: in a London club, the two men gambled at carts.
Speaker 3: Lord Kimpton lost heavenly and finally, Will Brand.
Speaker 4: You've cleaned me out. You heard my io use for
Speaker 4: everything I owe?
Speaker 5: Not everything, Lord Campton, you still have one I said
Speaker 5: I should like to possess my wife, No doubt you
Speaker 5: forget your manners, My dear sir, gentlemen, do not ban
Speaker 5: your lady's name over a gambling table.
Speaker 4: Why you oily swine are you trying to I'm trying.
Speaker 5: To tell you that I'm interested in your race horse,
Speaker 5: Great Pasha. You bought him from me as a colt.
Speaker 5: Now I should like to buy him back. I'll cut
Speaker 5: the cards for him, Lord Captain.
Speaker 3: What'd you take me for a brand?
Speaker 1: A fool?
Speaker 4: You think I'd gamble away the Derby favorite, the greatest
Speaker 4: racehorses ever lived, with Albert Moylan, the finest jockey in
Speaker 4: England riding him, you'll throw dusts in the face of
Speaker 4: that horse of yours.
Speaker 1: Who let perhaps, But what about these?
Speaker 5: I'll use your lordship.
Speaker 4: After Great Passua wins the Derby, Brand, you'll get your money,
Speaker 4: every dirty shilling of it.
Speaker 6: A good boy Pasha, good run, lad, All right, Charlie, take.
Speaker 7: Him, will you?
Speaker 6: And I'll make sure you give him a good rubdown.
Speaker 5: Oh hello, mylon.
Speaker 6: Mister Brand. You'd expect it, mister Brand, What are you
Speaker 6: doing here? If Lord Kempton finds you're about his training, grand.
Speaker 5: Doesn't worry about his lordship, Mylon, I expect to own
Speaker 5: his estate here right after the Derby. It was a
Speaker 5: good ride you gave a great Pasha just now.
Speaker 6: Ah, we'll do fine in the Derby, I expect.
Speaker 5: Suppose you don't do so well in the Derby run Violin,
Speaker 5: What do you mean? I mean? My horse Roulette can
Speaker 5: win if Great Pasha doesn't naturally. I expect to pay
Speaker 5: for any small services you might render, and pay liberally.
Speaker 5: Shall we say one thousand pounds.
Speaker 6: Not for ten thousand? Mister Brand, you can't bribe me.
Speaker 6: I've worn his Lordship's colors for five years, fair and honest,
Speaker 6: and I ain't gonna sell him out. And if you're
Speaker 6: not off these grounds pretty quick, I'll call Lord Kempton
Speaker 6: to run you off.
Speaker 8: So mister Brand tried to bribe you, Albert.
Speaker 6: Yes, Lady Kempton. He was hanging about the stables in
Speaker 6: the practice track.
Speaker 8: I see a contemptuous black guard.
Speaker 1: Just wait till I tell his lord and know Albert.
Speaker 8: Let us say nothing about it to Lord Kempton. He
Speaker 8: has a dreadful temper. I'm afraid he'd kill mister Brand
Speaker 8: if he knew.
Speaker 1: I'm worried why I'm a lady.
Speaker 8: If Brand couldn't bribe you, he might try to do
Speaker 8: Great Pasha harm. He do anything to win the derby, anything, Albert, Yes,
Speaker 8: Lady Kempton, We'll be taking Great Pasha to web some
Speaker 8: dwns in two days. Have you been to sleep in
Speaker 8: the stable with him, just to make sure that nothing
Speaker 8: goes wrong? Ah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, here now, Pasha, there a boy, and what's come
Speaker 6: over you? You need him prancing about after night here
Speaker 6: in your stall, waking me from me sleep. Ah, I
Speaker 6: never saw your sol strung up an edgy I did?
Speaker 1: Ah? What is it?
Speaker 3: Lad?
Speaker 1: There is no one about the last Pasha? What is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What's come over you? Pasha?
Speaker 9: Now?
Speaker 3: Now? If we still boring? Shall have you gone crazy?
Speaker 1: Hasha? Pasha? Now?
Speaker 2: Flash up?
Speaker 1: Watson. You are a devotee of the sport of kings?
Speaker 1: Are you not well?
Speaker 3: Homes up? I must confess some acquaintance with the bookmakers,
Speaker 3: much to my distress.
Speaker 1: Yes, Watson, so I've observed.
Speaker 3: But why this is inquiry? Good heaven Holmes, you're not
Speaker 3: thinking of wagering a pound or two on the darby.
Speaker 1: My dear fellow. I did in facts and logic, not
Speaker 1: in speculation, however attractive. The fact is, however, that I've
Speaker 1: just received a telegram from the Royal Stuarts. They wish
Speaker 1: to retain my services in rather than unusual mattered? What
Speaker 1: matter you've heard of? Albert meulen je.
Speaker 3: Voes, who hasn't is the goodest jockey in the Empire.
Speaker 3: A winner of the Gold Cup at a Scud in
Speaker 3: the Oaks two years running. Now he's riding Gray Pasha
Speaker 3: in the Darby.
Speaker 1: He was, Watson, Eh, what do you mean? Albert moylan
Speaker 1: was trampled by Gray Pasha and the animal skull last night.
Speaker 1: The racing authority suspectfile play. At this moment, the jockey
Speaker 1: lies at the point of death of Saint Thomas's hospital. Come, Watson,
Speaker 1: get your happ and stick moilon. Marlon listened to me,
Speaker 1: try to answer my questions in a.
Speaker 3: Horrible beating, smashing hoofs of that horse. But he hasn't
Speaker 3: long to go.
Speaker 1: Melon listened to me, Old, did you see anyone around
Speaker 1: the premises after Ashua went by me?
Speaker 3: I all.
Speaker 1: Someone riding with the Lanton. Yes, yes, gorm lad Well
Speaker 1: Lanson through the plot gate. I thought it was.
Speaker 3: Oh my, then print is gone. Yes, go Chap sad
Speaker 3: ending great career.
Speaker 1: Yes quite.
Speaker 3: Will Watson.
Speaker 1: There's nothing more we can do here, Watson. About this
Speaker 1: man Brand, It's correct? Is it not that he and
Speaker 1: Lord Kenton, the owner of Gray Pasha, our mortal enemies.
Speaker 3: Yes, not only that Brand used to own Gray Pasha's
Speaker 3: of col and now he owns Roulette second favorite.
Speaker 1: I see right, Come, Watson, let's proceed to the Kempton
Speaker 1: grounds and examine the stables. It's barely possible that our
Speaker 1: eat quine killer had a human collaborator. Watson, did you
Speaker 1: notice anything unusual about Gray Pasha's stall?
Speaker 3: No, can't say that I did. Host Everything seemed in order.
Speaker 1: As quite, except for one peculiar and perhaps meaningless fact.
Speaker 1: The roof of the stall slopes backward and downwards steeply.
Speaker 1: And ha, ha, what is it?
Speaker 9: Hose?
Speaker 1: Note the footprints here by the paddock gate, what about?
Speaker 1: They are some hours old and probably were made by
Speaker 1: the person Albert Moylem saw last night. And apparently that
Speaker 1: person was intoxicated.
Speaker 3: Eh, how do you know that?
Speaker 1: Which elementary, my dear fellow elementary observed the irregular staggered
Speaker 1: pattern of man's hobnail boots. Note how the prince veer
Speaker 1: onto the grass and then back onto the footpath. Watson
Speaker 1: supposed to go up with the house and talk to Lord.
Speaker 7: Kempton storms, Doctor Watson, this whole affair is proved by
Speaker 7: a room.
Speaker 3: Indeed, how Lord comes to.
Speaker 1: It counted heavily, and Gray Pash is winning the doughby.
Speaker 4: I needed the person money desperately for personal reasons. No, no,
Speaker 4: Great Pasha can't win Moyland's dead.
Speaker 1: Do I understand, then, your Lordship with this jockey, Moylon
Speaker 1: was indispensable. Here's mister hobs Bluys.
Speaker 4: She's a high spirited, temperamental brute with unfamiliar hands at
Speaker 4: the range.
Speaker 1: He'd be unmanageable.
Speaker 7: Only Moyland could ride him.
Speaker 3: This will confound the retirn in London. Your lordship, bookmakers
Speaker 3: are sured and they will let the favorite now Joe
Speaker 3: for a sensation.
Speaker 1: This will be some dogs and brew Lett his own
Speaker 1: by Alex Brandby.
Speaker 3: Yes, mister Holmes, Alex Brand Blackgard.
Speaker 7: He's responsible for this.
Speaker 3: Somehow.
Speaker 1: He hates me and he's trying to break me.
Speaker 7: He did something to great passion, mister Hoaks.
Speaker 4: Somehow that villain Brand is responsible for for poor Moyland's death.
Speaker 1: Yes, perhaps perhaps not due time, Lord Captain, I assure
Speaker 1: you I shall have the answer any rate. There's no
Speaker 1: need to detain you any longer. Thank you, mister oas.
Speaker 3: I should be at your disposal whenever you one Chap
Speaker 3: he has his troubles.
Speaker 1: A hose quite and particularly this morning, Mutson, did you
Speaker 1: notice the unhealthy pallor of his skin and his rimmed
Speaker 1: and bloodshot eyes. Homes you mean precisely the symptoms of
Speaker 1: plane mutson. Lord Kimpton was intoxicated last night.
Speaker 2: Now let's begin by pointing out that clipper Craft clothes
Speaker 2: are essentially economical. In fact, you'll be surprised at the
Speaker 2: amount of money you save on a fine clipper Craft suit.
Speaker 2: That's not the only reason clipper Craft clothes are worn
Speaker 2: by the best dressed men in your community, men who
Speaker 2: could pay more, much more. They choose clipper Craft because
Speaker 2: they like the master tailoring, the exceptional materials, and because
Speaker 2: they have such implicit confidence in the fine local independent
Speaker 2: merchants who sell Clippercraft clothes. Each clipper Craft suit and
Speaker 2: sport jacket is guaranteed by the clipper Craft label, that
Speaker 2: famous trademark derived from the staunch clipper ships that established
Speaker 2: honest New England trade everywhere.
Speaker 1: In the world.
Speaker 2: Now remember, you can get a superbly fitted, all worsted
Speaker 2: Clippercraft suit for only forty five dollars. That's why men
Speaker 2: who know insist on clipper Craft clothes bearing the clipper
Speaker 2: Craft labels. So be sure to visit the clipper Craft
Speaker 2: store in your city.
Speaker 9: These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
Speaker 9: add their names to clipper Craft in your suit's, port
Speaker 9: jackets and Tropicals in Manhattan, John Wannamaker's Men's Stores Broadway
Speaker 9: at eighth and sixty seven Liberty Street, Sack thirty fourth
Speaker 9: Broadway at thirty fourth in Brooklyn, Abramen Strauss in New York,
Speaker 9: New Jersey Boulevard Men's Shop cresgy Neyork. And in Jamaica
Speaker 9: the B and B Clothes Shop one six four Owight,
Speaker 9: Jamaica Avenue.
Speaker 2: And now doctor Watson. Doctor Watson, you were a lady
Speaker 2: to us the adventure of the Great Pasha.
Speaker 3: So I was, mister Hart, So I was. As I
Speaker 3: told you a moment ago, Lord Kempton had been intoxicated,
Speaker 3: and it was plain that the mysterious stranger who left
Speaker 3: the Paddots just after the fatal accident that night was
Speaker 3: also intoxication. My friend Holmes was never one to jump
Speaker 3: at hasty conclusions without all the facts. A few hours later,
Speaker 3: we visited Alex Brand at his club on Powellmouth.
Speaker 1: It's the Brand. Do you mind telling me where you
Speaker 1: were last night?
Speaker 5: There was a bad effected to home than I was
Speaker 5: miles from London in Liverpool to be.
Speaker 1: Exact, Liverpool existing didy, hey, isn't it?
Speaker 5: If you've doubt my word, you've only telegraphed the a
Speaker 5: dealthy hotel in that city and they were confirmed my statement.
Speaker 5: Aside from miss Gentleman, there is no doubt in my
Speaker 5: mind that Lord Kempton is directly respons for Albert Moylen's death. Indeed,
Speaker 5: how friend it so happens with the home that Gray
Speaker 5: Pasha hated his mouth there. In fact, the horse always
Speaker 5: went into a tantrum whenever his lordship approached. It seems
Speaker 5: that Lord Kempton drank heavily and often beat him unmercifully.
Speaker 3: Well to Holmes, and that would explain it. And Lord
Speaker 3: Kempton approached the stables in a drunken stupor Gray Parsher.
Speaker 1: Went mad in his stall, and yes quite Watson quite
Speaker 1: but come my death phellone back to the manor So
Speaker 1: his lordship did leave the house late last night, Lady Kempton, and.
Speaker 3: In an intoxicated conditioner.
Speaker 8: Ah, oh, yes, there's no use denying it. He drank
Speaker 8: heavily because he was worried about his debts. To that Blackguard.
Speaker 3: Mister Brad it might interest you to know, Lady Kempton,
Speaker 3: that his lordship wandered down to the stables last night.
Speaker 8: Charles he went out at the stables. Then, Great Pasha
Speaker 8: he must have seen Charles coming.
Speaker 1: And you must have what, Lady Kempton.
Speaker 8: Nothing, mister Helmes.
Speaker 1: Nothing. I regret to say your hesitation is significant, very
Speaker 1: how would you mean we have it on some authority?
Speaker 1: The Gray Pasha hated Lord Kenton went into a tantrum
Speaker 1: at his very appearance.
Speaker 8: Mister Holmes, what are you trying to say?
Speaker 1: I'm afraid the implication, unfortunately that his lordship is quite obvious.
Speaker 1: And by the way, Lady Kempton, yes, you smoke, hose,
Speaker 1: what do you quiet well, Lady.
Speaker 8: Kimpton, I smoke. Why no, mister Holmes, I've never touched tobacco.
Speaker 8: Why do you ask?
Speaker 1: Oh? An idle question and perhaps irrelevant now, if you'll
Speaker 1: excuse us, Lady Kepton, I should like to have another
Speaker 1: look at Gray Pasha's stall. Well, Watson, there's Gray pasha
Speaker 1: stall just ahead of the moonlight hoes.
Speaker 3: Why did you ask Lady Kempton whether she smoked?
Speaker 1: Cause I noticed a brown stain on her fingers resembling nicotine. Well,
Speaker 1: what are but nearly a detail? Perhaps worthless, perhaps significant?
Speaker 1: And speaking of details, did you notice that lady Kempton
Speaker 1: is a slim and athletic woman, and that the rug
Speaker 1: on her sitting room floor was a bit untidy?
Speaker 3: What's the floor of your sitting room got to do
Speaker 3: with all this?
Speaker 1: I shall know better when I examine the roof come
Speaker 1: found in homes.
Speaker 3: You are a Chinese riddle to night. First you speak
Speaker 3: of a floor than of a roof?
Speaker 1: What roof? Roofs of gray? Pasha stall here, Watson? As
Speaker 1: you see, it's quite accessible to any one of reasonable
Speaker 1: agility because of its slow pitched to the ground. I
Speaker 1: propose to climb up there now and give it a
Speaker 1: thorough examination.
Speaker 6: Aw ha, ha Hapose what the deuce do you expect
Speaker 6: to find up there on the.
Speaker 1: Roof, patients Wat's impatience, I A ha, what is it?
Speaker 3: What'd you find?
Speaker 1: The boards are the store roof here are walked apart.
Speaker 1: I can see down into the stall itself through this aperture?
Speaker 1: Is that significant HOAt is indeed very significant? Watson? I
Speaker 1: suppose you'll find a dark lantern somewhere about the premises.
Speaker 1: I'm quite sure you'll find one of the groom's cottage if.
Speaker 3: No one else. For what purpose?
Speaker 1: I should like to examine the interior of the store below,
Speaker 1: and particularly it's occupant, Gray Pasha.
Speaker 3: A great pasture of that heusy boy is he was
Speaker 3: at it like the way there's least's acting here in
Speaker 3: the store. He's a high strung animal, you.
Speaker 1: Know, Yes he is, indeed, Watson, But try to keep
Speaker 1: him still while I examined the back of this group
Speaker 1: by the light of the lantern.
Speaker 3: Hose would you expect to find there?
Speaker 1: If I'm not wrong, my dear fellow, ha ha, hose,
Speaker 1: what is observed? Watson? Note these tiny scars on Gray
Speaker 1: Pasha's back there quite fresh and Watson, Yes, you seem
Speaker 1: to have a visitor coming through the padder gate with
Speaker 1: the lantern, and if to visit her, Gray Pasha doesn't
Speaker 1: like Watson, look out to be going there to death.
Speaker 1: That cuts him back. Sing against the walls, they credas hooleful.
Speaker 1: I wave the lantern in the sta hiding away from
Speaker 1: the heaven. I'm through the door, Thank heaven.
Speaker 3: He got outsafing that was close.
Speaker 1: Yes, speaking of getting out, whatts and our visitors doing
Speaker 1: the same running toward the Manor in the moonlight?
Speaker 3: Whose? Who can it be? I can't chill from here?
Speaker 1: The man who plotted this fiendish and devilish scheme, Watson,
Speaker 1: mister Alex Branded, he was here last night, when was
Speaker 1: on the country, He was in Liverpool last night. I
Speaker 1: checked my telegram, Holmes.
Speaker 3: And who did Moylon.
Speaker 1: See when a patients Wotson, I should explain later. You
Speaker 1: must get to the Manor at once.
Speaker 3: Whose Why aren't we looking for brand? What did you
Speaker 3: interest you?
Speaker 1: Here?
Speaker 3: In the closet of Lady Kempton's sitting.
Speaker 1: Room, Watson, Note that the rug is mud stained, the
Speaker 1: stains are faint, to be sure that they lead to
Speaker 1: this closet. And hh, what is it? Precisely what I expected?
Speaker 1: A pair of mud stained hobnail boots, the same boots
Speaker 1: which left the tracks we saw on the paddock path.
Speaker 1: Lord Kempton's spoke exactly, but worn by Lady Kempton last night.
Speaker 1: My dear fellow, It's obvious Lady Kempton wore her husband's boots,
Speaker 1: planted the footprints, staggered them in a pattern of intoxication,
Speaker 1: and it was she who drove Gray Pasha a cirque
Speaker 1: so that he trampled Moyler Sweet Watson. The brown stains
Speaker 1: on her fingers. I have some knowledge of chemistry, and
Speaker 1: those stains looked suspiciously like those caused by concentrated nitric acid.
Speaker 3: Nitric acid, you mean she exactly?
Speaker 1: Lady Kempton approached Gray Pasha's store from the rear, clambered
Speaker 1: upon the roof in the dead of night while Moren
Speaker 1: was asleep. Then she poured concentrated nitric acid on Gray
Speaker 1: Pasha's back through the aperture in the roof.
Speaker 3: No wonder the horse went mad.
Speaker 1: Miss Watson, and after that she picked up lantern at
Speaker 1: the paddock gate, leaving her husband's telltale footprints. Meanwhile, by
Speaker 1: previous arrangement, Alex Brand was in Liverpool to establish his
Speaker 1: own innocence. But I believe it was he who plotted
Speaker 1: this diabolical crime.
Speaker 5: You are quite right, mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: I dare pose his bread, Lady Kimpton.
Speaker 2: Don't you.
Speaker 5: I am noted as a good shot with a pistol,
Speaker 5: especially this one. Oh my dear, I'm afraid out that
Speaker 5: the plan went all right.
Speaker 8: Yes, Alex, but you were so sure, great part of
Speaker 8: it crushed these two when you approached.
Speaker 5: I must say he did his best.
Speaker 1: It's obvious, my dear Brand, that it was you whom
Speaker 1: the brouk disliked, not Lord Kempton.
Speaker 5: Yes, mister Holmes, I owned the animal as a colt.
Speaker 5: He was unruly and I beat him to leave bled.
Speaker 5: I hoped he would take care of you if I
Speaker 5: visited him personally to night, but apparently something went wrong.
Speaker 3: Didn't expect us to get out of the store, did you.
Speaker 5: Bread, No, Doctor Watson, I did not, and that leaves
Speaker 5: me with some unfinished business before Lady Kempton and I leave.
Speaker 5: After all, I owe you both something. If you hadn't appeared,
Speaker 5: my hosse Roulette would have wondered, Dobby, I've.
Speaker 3: Got that, young Bran. What is Lord Kilton?
Speaker 1: Quick? Watson? The gun seat An Watson.
Speaker 3: It's all right, horse shot with world, but I've got
Speaker 3: the pistol. Now you make one more move, Brand, I'll
Speaker 3: shoot you down. Ellen.
Speaker 1: Ellen, I heard everything at the door.
Speaker 3: So you conspired with this.
Speaker 1: Feet, Yes, you poor wakefool.
Speaker 8: If I'd stayed with you would have been penniless.
Speaker 4: You young damn you're responsible for this brand you are
Speaker 4: going to take away from me.
Speaker 7: Eh.
Speaker 1: I ought to thrattle you here where you sed tend.
Speaker 1: I ought to chunk the breath out of you. I
Speaker 1: rather unnecessary procedure, my dear Lord Kenton. But it comes
Speaker 1: to that sort of thing, no one does it more
Speaker 1: efficiently than the hangman. Well, doctor Watson, that was an
Speaker 1: exciting adventure, indeed.
Speaker 3: Yes, and although neither Gray Pasha nor Roulette ran in
Speaker 3: the derby, I managed to pick the winner, and shall
Speaker 3: we say, earned an extra month's pension money.
Speaker 2: Well, good for you, doctor, And now, doctor Watson, what
Speaker 2: adventure will you have for us next week?
Speaker 3: Next week, mister Harris, I shall relate to you the
Speaker 3: adventure of doctor Winthrop's notorious carriage. It concerns a bouquet
Speaker 3: of orchids, a purple vest and a dismembered corpse lying
Speaker 3: in an alley by the stage door of an abandoned
Speaker 3: Theete
