I remember that 22 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.240 Holmes and I went to Eastbourne for a much needed rest. 23 00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:58.880 First couple of days we spent in soothing idleness. On 24 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.840 the morning of a third day, homes a dash of 25 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.840 car back in his cheek and the hint of the 26 00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.519 old sparkle in his eye suggested that you should go 27 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.040 and call on his good friend Evan Whitnell, curator of 28 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.840 a nearby museum. And so just after lunch on that 29 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.879 September day, found the two of us talking to Professor 30 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:19.599 Evan Whitnell in his private office at the museum. 31 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:26.439 It only seems, yet, with all your recent discoveries in 32 00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.319 this part of England have made you world famous instead 33 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.159 of just nationally famous. My congratulations, professor, I do wish 34 00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.159 you tell me your discovery with pleasure to doctor Watson. 35 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.519 There less than two months ago I was excavating on 36 00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.599 the Downlands in this neighborhood, when I was fortunate enough 37 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.840 to discover a number of underground caves, caves saturated with 38 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.280 a heavy deposit of line that gave clear evidence of 39 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:54.400 having the property of rapidly mummifying any flesh human or 40 00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:56.120 animal deposited in them. 41 00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.519 Interesting. In what treasures have you unearthed? 42 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.959 We are a number of mummified specimens of animals carely 43 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:07.319 belonging to bygone eras. My prize specimen is the body 44 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.000 of a large wolfhound. The inscription on its collar identified 45 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.520 the animal as having belonged to some local squire in 46 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.159 the year seventeen hundred and forty eight. 47 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:17.800 Amazing. 48 00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.639 I didn't know that limestone has qualities of preservation. 49 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:27.159 Come in, come in, yes, allan, what is it lady Clavering? 50 00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.479 Professor you asked me to tell you that she was 51 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.319 in the museum. 52 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.120 Oh yes, yes, yes, sir, sure up here will you allan? 53 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:36.560 Very good as God.

When I told her 58 00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.159 that you were coming here today, she insisted on meeting 59 00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:45.719 No wit. 60 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.639 No use scoundaled with a twinkle in your eye. 61 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.759 I suspect that Lady Clavering has yet consulted me in 62 00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:54.199 my professional capacity, and that you engineered the meeting. Perhaps 63 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:55.800 I might have dropped a head. 64 00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:56.520 I own you. 65 00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.479 Professor Holmes can't become involved in another case. 66 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.120 He's completely run down. 67 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.360 Well, don't worry, doctor.

The Claverings are a strange family, 93 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:23.360 self willed and headstrong.

Yes, and what's more, 199 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:02.480 he's Helena's unofficial can't say it worse luck I see. Personally, 200 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.279 I'm beginning to get a trifle board with the affairs 201 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:05.039 of the Clapping family. 202 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:25.879 Let's go on to the line case showing these caves 203 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:26.480 are amazing. 204 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.000 It must be fifty people on the level of the ground. 205 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:29.360 Aren't we not? 206 00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.960 Well? More than that, I should say formation, it's most 207 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.480 unusual a series of caves connected by a vertical honeycomber tunnel. Yes, 208 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.039 I think i'll light the lantern now. It's to be 209 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.679 dark in here. And I haven't explored this particular cave before, 210 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.960 and so I got a wall cave in on me 211 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.440 a couple of times. So you'd better watch where you're walking. Ye, 212 00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.080 Now we can see better. Let's go deeper, shall we? 213 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.559 But do watch your stirf hmm? 214 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:00.679 Given here and now. 215 00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.200 What does the courage yet. 216 00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.919 Looks like a mummified bird of some kind. 217 00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:10.080 It is a beautiful specimen, judging by its markings of 218 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.960 black streak here and bars white. 219 00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:13.200 Author said with a pelgree. 220 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.000 That's exactly what it is. A falcon taking back a 221 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.320 couple of hundred years, I should say, and in a 222 00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.519 perfect state of preservation. This is a treasure. But come on, 223 00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:24.200 let's explore. 224 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:28.600 Deeper another cave over here, old land and have a 225 00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:29.679 little old Oh. 226 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.240 Lord, the whole wall collapse? What's never hurt? 227 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:38.440 Are you? 228 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:38.559 No? 229 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.440 How? Time? 230 00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:39.759 All right? 231 00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.120 Why you run earthed another cave? Dr Watson less coda. 232 00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:46.879 I think we can just manage to call through. 233 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:57.600 Right color. I don't believe mind quick, this is a pressure. Indeed, 234 00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:58.960 I don't think it preserved. 235 00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:02.320 Body dressed in aching sentory costume putteed with him all yes, 236 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:07.559 and there's no mistaking who it is at that typical reap. Profially, 237 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.759 it's a Clavering and it isn't hard to identify which 238 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:12.480 one do you mean? The one the lady Helen had 239 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.519 told us about this afternoon. Exactly without doubt, this is 240 00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.480 the body of Sir Nigel Clavering, who disappeared in seventeen 241 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.840 hundred and seventy seven. Let's search his pocket through my 242 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:26.519 crime has some identification. He has a stop box of 243 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.720 the period and some coins. 244 00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:33.000 The inscription of George the third is still visible on them. Hello, 245 00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:36.840 here's here's his Dirrey. This is unbelievable. 246 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.320 What are you up to, homes but examining the body, Watson, 247 00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:44.320 This man was murdered, murdered. 248 00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:46.960 This wound just about the hut, obviously inflicted with a 249 00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:51.039 sharp instrument poppaper dagger. This is interesting, an italed you 250 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:54.600 experience for me, the opportunity of solving an unsuspected murder committed. 251 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.840 Well over one hundred years ago. Fan that die watch 252 00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:59.559 when he won't check. Let's see if the part devil suspected. 253 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:00.480 His feed m. 254 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:02.759 Hard to read. 255 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:05.919 All the essays look like the peaciliarity of the eighteen 256 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:06.879 century writing. 257 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:13.919 They are paying saying they are paying in the coffee half. 258 00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:19.840 But my brother Harry have been coverting my wife. 259 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:25.279 This is amazing. See how history repeats itself. It's an 260 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:29.159 exact parallel of the situation existing today. Harry is coverting 261 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.919 his father's wife Helena, and Sir George has not been 262 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:32.799 seen for hid. 263 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.799 One extronic instance if it were one. 264 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:38.799 As it is, it's one of the most ingenious frauds 265 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:39.320 I've ever seen. 266 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:40.759 Dolding appears authentic. 267 00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:43.080 Sort of the coins and made the ink the paper 268 00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:45.279 of the dari and due to the peculiar mummification of 269 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.559 the body, it would be almost impossible to say how 270 00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:49.840 long it's been here. Nonetheless, I'm convinced that this is 271 00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:55.399 a recent cause, and undoubtedly that of Sir George Tavern. 272 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:56.600 What makes you so sure? 273 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:59.679 How writing the diary it can century used an S 274 00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.840 it looks like an F. It is true, But never 275 00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:03.440 at the end of the word you will recall Watson 276 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.559 that you were reading H A F half or H 277 00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:11.399 A S hand that's perfect the two I was, well, 278 00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.720 that would be incorrect in genuine eighteenth century writing. 279 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:17.159 Now, obviously this is an extremely clever. 280 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:21.480 Attempt to disguise the comparatively recent murder of Sir George Flavering. 281 00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:23.120 It's an incredible pose. 282 00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.279 Yeah, I believe you're right. I'm sure of it. 283 00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:26.240 What are you gonna do about it? 284 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:27.000 Do you and I? 285 00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:29.480 Al Chapel have gone over the body? You, my dear, 286 00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.279 with all if you don't mind, will be good enough 287 00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:46.960 to go to catch the police. Homes God Jack, what 288 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.240 are you supposed to keeping the police? 289 00:13:48.279 --> 00:13:51.039 Witnow must have gone over and now the lantern with him. 290 00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:53.639 Here we are clutching the darkness, smelly cave to pick 291 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.759 it under the cliffs to the monified corps. 292 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.679 Who I do? 293 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:01.080 Ahh, Here comes Alund to mister. 294 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.840 W I'm the pacho. 295 00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:07.639 That you. 296 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:14.480 That's blinding me. 297 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:43.159 That doctor Watson's story will continue in just a second, 298 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.120 and I'm going to take that second to ask you 299 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:46.240 what you think of when I. 300 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.559 Say good food. When you say good food. 301 00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.639 To me, I can see myself really going down on 302 00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:54.600 a piece of fried chicken, but really fried, you know, 303 00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:57.840 crisp and sort of a light brown. When I see 304 00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.879 that chicken, I sure want to see some Petri Kelli 305 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.919 so turned, because, believe me, Petree so Turned, there is 306 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.480 a white wine that's the wine for chicken. That Petrie 307 00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.840 so turn has a delicate kind of flavor, delicate like 308 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:13.720 its pale gold colored. What a flavor? 309 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:14.840 What a wine? 310 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.399 If you want to swell white wine, you certainly want 311 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:29.799 Petree so Turned try it and see.

Well, doctor you certainly had me 314 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.159 on the edge of my chair during the first part 315 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.960 of the story. Say what happened when Sherlock Holmes yelled 316 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:41.519 out at you in the. 317 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.360 Can I was struck from behind with a spade and 318 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.960 knocked out. A second later, the same thing happened to homes. 319 00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:48.159 You see, we were blinded by the lantern and couldn't 320 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.840 protect ourselves.
