Speaker 1: And now to return to the Tower of London doctor watching.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was one glorious afternoon in early June. The
Speaker 2: late afternoon sunshine cast a globe of gold on Tower Green,
Speaker 2: so the righting us loomed the great original keeper William
Speaker 2: the Conqueror called the White Tower.
Speaker 1: So I've seen pictures of it. Part Fortress Park, Dungeon.
Speaker 2: To the left was Beacham Tower, and the directly ahead
Speaker 2: was the little Chapel of Saint Peter Poems was enjoying
Speaker 2: one of his favorite forms of relaxation, feeding raw beef
Speaker 2: to the ravens who still inhabit that spot, the same
Speaker 2: spot where once stood the scapel of which was poured
Speaker 2: out the life blood of some of the greatest names
Speaker 2: in English history.
Speaker 1: Here here, I'm not so greedy.
Speaker 2: You've had your shair, Oh great bloated beastly birds with
Speaker 2: the evil yellow eyes.
Speaker 3: How can you endure the sight of them homes? Think
Speaker 3: of the bodies the ancestors must have fed on would
Speaker 3: be so squeamish Watson. The scaffold, which formerly stood on
Speaker 3: this site was used only for the beheadings of Queen's
Speaker 3: Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard. The Countess of Salisbury by
Speaker 3: Countess Rockford, Lady Jane Gray, and the other Essex no
Speaker 3: nest the rule of political prisoners incarcerated in the Tower
Speaker 3: were beheaded on Tower Hill or hanged at Tyburn.
Speaker 1: There were, of course.
Speaker 3: Exception well naturally Archbishop Cranmer and Bishops Letterbourn and Ridley
Speaker 3: were burned at Oxford. So while the Raleigh was executed
Speaker 3: an old palace yard, Sir Thomas Overburdy was poisoned. The
Speaker 3: two little Princes, Edward the fifth and the Duke of
Speaker 3: York were strangled in the bloody Tower. Then, of course
Speaker 3: there was the Duke of Clarence, who was drowned in
Speaker 3: a butt of malmsey wine.
Speaker 2: I must say, if I had to be executed, that's
Speaker 2: the method I had to.
Speaker 4: Away. You shoe oo oos he bit.
Speaker 1: Me serves your wife for making sport of the Tower's traditions.
Speaker 2: Hello, who is the young lady coming across the parade grounds?
Speaker 4: She looks vaguely familiar.
Speaker 2: She's HEARDing her parasol so far over her face she
Speaker 2: can't but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you see she almost ran into that beet eater.
Speaker 3: Now she just missed the old lady with the ear trumpet.
Speaker 3: What's the matter with the girl? Can't you see where
Speaker 3: she's going? Probably not Watson. She's trying desperately to keep
Speaker 3: from crying.
Speaker 2: Great Scottish lady Cynthia, sister of that ass Bobbys Simon
Speaker 2: and daughter of the Duke of Balmarle.
Speaker 4: Of what do you suppose a pretty thing like that
Speaker 4: has to cry about? Life?
Speaker 3: Isn't all beer and skittles, Watson, even to those in
Speaker 3: Berk's peerage.
Speaker 1: Yes, and this I'm very much mistaken.
Speaker 3: She's upset because her fiancee, young Lieutenant Runnald Backwater, has
Speaker 3: been trucked in the guardhouse and threatened the court martial
Speaker 3: and dismissal from the tower guards, good Lord whatever.
Speaker 1: For stealing.
Speaker 3: Watson is accused of purloining a precious golden platter.
Speaker 4: Yes, another thought.
Speaker 3: We might run into the lady Cynthia if we visited
Speaker 3: the tower this afternoon. Holmes, you fraud, and I thought
Speaker 3: you came here to feed the ravens.
Speaker 1: If she is my dear lady Cynthia, is anything I
Speaker 1: can do? No, No, you I'm quite all right.
Speaker 4: That's similar in my eye. There's nothing. Wait a minute,
Speaker 4: you're mister Sherlock Holmes. I don't know what to say.
Speaker 4: Oh dear, what did I do with my handkerchief? Allow
Speaker 4: me to walk a man, Lady Cynthia.
Speaker 5: Thank you Watson your so kind to me.
Speaker 4: He didn't do it, you know, Ronnie. Isn't a fee,
Speaker 4: of course not. It's all a father, that daatiful old man.
Speaker 6: What old man the step a budget the new mayor
Speaker 6: and governor of the tower. He had fed up old
Speaker 6: bachelor himself well over.
Speaker 1: Forty yeah there, practically senile. He wantson.
Speaker 4: He doesn't want anyone in the guards to get married.
Speaker 2: Lodge it Greece, scot That must be old leaven bullets bludget.
Speaker 4: Yes, I believe that's what Ronne and Arthur called him.
Speaker 6: Other can't get married either because it's fiance.
Speaker 4: Have many more money than I have. Oh, that old lodget,
Speaker 4: I wish it were this.
Speaker 2: You're not the first to make best than idea. And
Speaker 2: I sat under him at Maiwan where he won his
Speaker 2: d C. The entire gentleman hated his gizzard. Well, he
Speaker 2: is a magnetis man soldier, and this cruel and man
Speaker 2: who's ever ordered his native ordered it beaten for forgetting
Speaker 2: to clean his boots.
Speaker 7: The beast.
Speaker 4: Why did he have to be put in charge of
Speaker 4: the tower. I'm making a perfect space of myself. What
Speaker 4: will everyone thinks?
Speaker 1: That's the heat of the sun. Very very fine.
Speaker 3: Suppose we could slip into the little chapel of some
Speaker 3: Peter's up ahead there where.
Speaker 4: It's quat and dark and cool.
Speaker 1: We'll pick out a.
Speaker 2: Nice comfortable pew and you can tell shellock food all
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 1: There we are, my dear. Suppose we take the third puple.
Speaker 1: Thank you Watson. You might offer the lady who worked
Speaker 1: with smelling salts with handkerchiefs.
Speaker 6: And I'll be all right in a minute.
Speaker 1: Quite as you know what's from.
Speaker 3: The premises known as the Tower of London are completely
Speaker 3: surrounded by the City of London. It's a self ruled
Speaker 3: and regulated community. Its gates are locked at night, and
Speaker 3: its ancient moti. Although it's drained to make a parade ground,
Speaker 3: is still capable of being flooded.
Speaker 4: Sounds fairly medieval, and.
Speaker 3: The absolute ruler of the entire place, The individual whose
Speaker 3: word is law is the mayor and governor in this
Speaker 3: case Old Blood and Bullets alias Stafford Lodger.
Speaker 1: Correct. He resides on the premises as do his officers
Speaker 1: and men.
Speaker 5: That's right, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: Well, last night the stafford Lodge invited five of the
Speaker 6: younger officers to his quarters for dinner, the ones who
Speaker 6: are petitioned to marry this June, you know, good.
Speaker 4: Lord, do they have to get permission from him to
Speaker 4: do that too?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 4: No, not to get married exactly. But he does say
Speaker 4: whether or not he considers the young ladies suitable, you know.
Speaker 3: And if he decides there not, Oh, then the prospective
Speaker 3: bridegroom is advised to give up the whole idea or
Speaker 3: resigned from the gods.
Speaker 4: How perfectly, Bob Barrick.
Speaker 6: Quite so, you can imagine how divily the poor chaffs
Speaker 6: were when he got round.
Speaker 4: They've been summoned to hear the do you know us
Speaker 4: to be at eight?
Speaker 6: And promptly at three minutes past they sat down at
Speaker 6: the Stafford's.
Speaker 4: Oak table in his sitting room in the Byword Tower.
Speaker 4: Byword Tower.
Speaker 3: But I thought the governor's quarters were always in Kings House,
Speaker 3: and so they are.
Speaker 6: But that would be too cozy and cheerful for the
Speaker 6: old stulture. No, he's moved into Byword Tower because his
Speaker 6: grimmar I that bound.
Speaker 1: I wonder it's not a rather strategic advantages, you.
Speaker 2: Know, byword tower, his curious appellation, Holmes.
Speaker 3: When I got the name Iywott was formerly a synonym
Speaker 3: for password Watson. Byword tower is always been the main
Speaker 3: entrance to the power of London.
Speaker 6: Of course, that's why he's moved there, so he could
Speaker 6: spy on his men as they went in them out.
Speaker 3: There could just possibly be another reason, you know, however,
Speaker 3: I suppose you finished telling me about the dinner party.
Speaker 6: Oh, it is a very elegant dinner party, properly chilled
Speaker 6: white wine with the turbot an excellent burgundy with a roast.
Speaker 6: Not that anyone but old blood and Bullets had much appetite.
Speaker 6: He eats like an anaconda. Well, finally they came to
Speaker 6: the suite.
Speaker 4: It was served on an enormous golden.
Speaker 6: Platter, which Sir Stafford and had specially brought into the occasion.
Speaker 1: Bring me that part, and had finished off that last
Speaker 1: bit of pudding.
Speaker 3: Yes, and want these young hoples have a good look
Speaker 3: at the design underneath?
Speaker 1: Yeah, are there.
Speaker 7: Please the wishard pass at?
Speaker 8: Oh very good, sir, But I say, Sir Stafford, isn't
Speaker 8: this that King Philip Salva.
Speaker 5: That's kept with the crown jewels.
Speaker 3: Right, you are by quarter presented by Philip of Spain
Speaker 3: to Elizabeth when he was courting the lady. Hence the
Speaker 3: rather a frank representation of the Goddess Ephrodite and all
Speaker 3: the little keepings. Yes, it is under appropriate to this
Speaker 3: occasion and what That's why I had it brought over.
Speaker 3: Of course Philip never managed to marry the lady. We
Speaker 3: hope you led have better elect to.
Speaker 5: We have to see that fast, bad priest easier on it.
Speaker 4: Don't get the wind up. I don't like the goods in.
Speaker 5: The old buzz dye. He's up to something.
Speaker 3: And now, as the pot goes round, shall we proceed
Speaker 3: in the more agreeable portion of.
Speaker 9: The evening's entertainment? M Yes, I have here a list
Speaker 9: of the young ladies on.
Speaker 3: Whom you have bestowed your affection for one reason or another,
Speaker 3: as son as you're back with us. Oh sorry, sir
Speaker 3: pas and I never believed that marriage was I helped
Speaker 3: any man's army career. However, there's no ruling against it
Speaker 3: that his lives can do.
Speaker 9: I suppose.
Speaker 1: Yes, Now let me.
Speaker 3: See Lieutenant reginal Evert. You wish to marry the Honorable
Speaker 3: Norah Jennings. Yes, no objections, Poor Reggie. I think he's
Speaker 3: going to paint with relief. Next, Lieutenant Herbert Woolsey, You
Speaker 3: desire to marry a Miss Ruby right now. Understand she's
Speaker 3: an American personal suitable, but she was educated in England,
Speaker 3: so I said, most times suitable. Next Lieutenant Arthur Anderson,
Speaker 3: here I go, has chosen the Miss Stanley Venable, no addictions.
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, sir, good luck, Thank you.
Speaker 3: Lieutenant Bupert Wellington. Intended is let me see Lady Duphney
Speaker 3: Mark Banks. Sorry Wellington, won't you?
Speaker 1: Her father is the Earl of Sir her mother? Where
Speaker 1: was a Gary girl? Quite out of the question.
Speaker 5: What Daphne's mother's first week?
Speaker 3: Except that every razy Ronnie, don't get fut under the
Speaker 3: collar your neck. Last we come to Lieutenant Ronald Beckwater,
Speaker 3: who wishes to marry Lady Cynthia Saint Simon. Delightful, young lady,
Speaker 3: most suitable. That's a relief, not that I expected trouble
Speaker 3: with you.
Speaker 1: I'm only one thing more to say on this addict.
Speaker 3: During my tenure hair in charge of the Tower, I
Speaker 3: shall make one further ruling about young ladies who marry
Speaker 3: into the court, Sir, As you know, the officers in
Speaker 3: his outfit are a handpicked block. We've always both the
Speaker 3: best blood in the empire, even if we are only
Speaker 3: younger son.
Speaker 1: My point exactly.
Speaker 3: Youngest sons are so often not too well supplied with
Speaker 3: worthy goods.
Speaker 4: That's one of the reasons which shows.
Speaker 1: The army, Sir.
Speaker 4: Don't interrupt, Sorry, sir.
Speaker 3: The pay of an officer and the tower guard is
Speaker 3: enough to keep him in proper style.
Speaker 1: If he is a bachelor, Now what's he getting out
Speaker 1: high from it?
Speaker 3: It has, however, come to my attention that men and
Speaker 3: families sometimes helped to scrape the big Don't tell me
Speaker 3: the old boy is going to get us a raisin pay,
Speaker 3: not old blood and bullets. The tower guards called upon
Speaker 3: an appear on many occasions of state. During the last
Speaker 3: Royal Review, I was hurri paid to notice that the
Speaker 3: dress uniforms have two captains, both of them married men,
Speaker 3: showed signs of wear.
Speaker 1: One of them had a small down on the lip sleeve.
Speaker 5: Horrors the empire of his crumbling.
Speaker 3: Consequently, I feel it incumbent upon me to make a
Speaker 3: new ruling.
Speaker 9: Dy and me wishing to marry anop so the.
Speaker 3: Tower God must bring with her a dowry of five
Speaker 3: thousand pounds minimum.
Speaker 4: Right, sir, it's impossible.
Speaker 8: The girls we want to marry there from good families,
Speaker 8: but they're not rid.
Speaker 3: Then I suggest you look around a bit further until
Speaker 3: you find.
Speaker 1: Some that are.
Speaker 3: But the conversa it's frank, mean, what are you presuming
Speaker 3: to criticize your superior officer?
Speaker 1: Yes, I haven't running by what Why do you want
Speaker 1: to shut up your fool?
Speaker 4: Don't get the old boys back up.
Speaker 1: We'll get around him somehow.
Speaker 5: That oh, I was telling that backwater that you had
Speaker 5: only his own good at.
Speaker 3: Hearts m Yes, I'm glad to see someone in that
Speaker 3: BI had some appreciation of my point of view, and

Speaker 4: When you can.
Speaker 2: Imagine the commotion, mister Holmes, quite oh, blood and bullets,
Speaker 2: blood pressure probably blew up and durst.
Speaker 4: Oh it did, doctor Watson, it did.
Speaker 6: He lost all sense of proportion.
Speaker 4: He immediately accused Ronnie.
Speaker 6: Of having taken the wretched plata, simply because he was
Speaker 6: the only one who was out of his sight.
Speaker 3: For a moment, and also because he'd come back in
Speaker 3: the sitting room to speak the cheebas no doubt.
Speaker 6: Yes, but he couldn't have done it, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: I mean, Ronnie wouldn't think of such.
Speaker 3: A thing, my dear lady Cynthia, And I hope Ronnie
Speaker 3: insisted on being suched immediate things.
Speaker 4: Oh he did, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: They didn't find a trace of anything, naturally, But even then,
Speaker 6: Sir Stafford wasn't satisfied. He said Ronny had probably dropped
Speaker 6: it out of the windows to an accomplice.
Speaker 1: The Stafford are fool.
Speaker 3: The presence of an accomplice would mean the pet was premeditated.
Speaker 3: I gather no one but Sir Stafford knew the platter
Speaker 3: was to be on the premises.
Speaker 4: That's right, mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: And there's no possibility of an compass whoever. Store King
Speaker 3: Philip Solver was present at the dinner party, whilst to.
Speaker 2: Prevent it outside of seeking up the stairs when everyone
Speaker 2: was in the bedroom and marrying Sir Stafford Meddle Forget, Watson,
Speaker 2: the port culiss had been lowered, no one.
Speaker 1: Could get in or out.
Speaker 3: No, the golden platter was undoubtedly still on the premises
Speaker 3: when it was found to be Listen, that's impossible.
Speaker 6: Aff and the rest insisted on being searched too, And
Speaker 6: Sir Stafford Brodget went over the rest.
Speaker 4: Of the premises himself.
Speaker 3: Very interesting, hey Watson. And yet the platter must be there.
Speaker 3: It probably still there in the most obvious place.
Speaker 4: Why, mister Holmes, what do you mean by that?
Speaker 3: Ever read the purloined letter, Lady Cynthia, No, I can't
Speaker 3: say I have. If you had, you'd realize at once
Speaker 3: what probably happened to the platter. Yes, Watson, I suggest
Speaker 3: you and I go round to the Guard House and
Speaker 3: have a chat with the incarcerated Lieutenant Runnald Backwater, mister Howes.
Speaker 6: They won't let you see him, they won't let anyone
Speaker 6: see him.
Speaker 3: Indurance fially, yes, I'm afraid the British Army doesn't always
Speaker 3: observe the rights of the individual and set forth in
Speaker 3: our common law, especially when there's a blowhard like Sir
Speaker 3: Stafford Budget in charge.
Speaker 6: Oh dear, then you can't do anything for Ronnie.
Speaker 3: On the contrary, Lady Cynthia, by tomorrow morning, doctor Watson
Speaker 3: and Knife will rive at the Guardhouse with.
Speaker 1: A note that should get her spice and Peter himself.
Speaker 4: Ronnie has to stay in that dreadful place another night.
Speaker 3: One more night should strengthen, not weaken his case, but
Speaker 3: be a good cheer. My dear, I think I can
Speaker 3: safely promise that within twenty four hours the platter will
Speaker 3: have been found, and Ronnie and all his brother officers
Speaker 3: shall have obtained full permission to marry the ladies of
Speaker 3: their respective choice.
Speaker 6: Oh, mister Holmes, you're wonderful.
Speaker 3: Quite my friend, and I here have written permission to
Speaker 3: interview Lieutenant Ronald Backwater and THEA Reggie the robber or
Speaker 3: gust personage whose name is at the bottom of his pants.
Speaker 5: All right, let's have a luck.
Speaker 4: God here the old girl herself, and it says he
Speaker 4: your sherck comes. Well, I never mind if I keep
Speaker 4: this step of paper.
Speaker 8: I mean, missus will never believe me when I tell her,
Speaker 8: as you like, come in, Come.
Speaker 1: In, gentlemen, pays to step inside.
Speaker 3: All right, this way, it's just to step down the
Speaker 3: corridor and mind afford.
Speaker 1: It's a bit uneven.
Speaker 3: Tennant back what I say, yea is a mister Sherrack
Speaker 3: Olmes and a doctor thinger Bob to say your saying.
Speaker 4: Bob, Oh, such as.
Speaker 5: Fame mister Holmes, who sent for you.
Speaker 3: I am acting on behalf of your fiance, the lady
Speaker 3: Cynthia s Simon. He still wants to marry you, it seems,
Speaker 3: in spite of everything.
Speaker 5: But she knows she must have lied. Didn't steal a
Speaker 5: silly platter?
Speaker 1: You didn't take it? However, don't you think it's been
Speaker 1: missing long enough? A longer it's.
Speaker 8: Missing, the more of a pool you look when they
Speaker 8: find it. Oh, I'd like to see his face when
Speaker 8: it turned up. Maybe may not be for months, not
Speaker 8: at all, than I are about to go across to

Speaker 2: Oh no, nobody's seen hiding air of it since I've
Speaker 2: put it over there on that table by the door
Speaker 2: the night before last.
Speaker 4: I just meant you couldn't see old Ladden Gardner because
Speaker 4: he's dressing for a view. Always puts his medals on
Speaker 4: for review. Rule his rule with says Stepford. He don't
Speaker 4: never break any of them.
Speaker 1: Was that interesting?
Speaker 5: Very interesting?
Speaker 3: I'm afraid the illusions of the power God, they're about
Speaker 3: to be shutterered.
Speaker 1: Hey Watson, I.
Speaker 4: Haven't been remotest idea of what you're blithering about. Homes.
Speaker 4: There comes old blood and bullets himself. I call this
Speaker 4: commotion in here?

Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson?
Speaker 3: Hmmm, Dr Watson, why'd you attach to my regiment in
Speaker 3: the Second African War?
Speaker 4: I joined the.
Speaker 2: Boxes just before my womb And why didn't you stay
Speaker 2: with him? Because my shoulder was shattered? Badge as a
Speaker 2: bullet and you needn't shout at me. I haven't been
Speaker 2: in the army for some years now, and it doesn't
Speaker 2: amuse us.

Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: I look everywhere he is A look everywhere.
Speaker 4: Not here.
Speaker 1: Oh, but it must be.
Speaker 3: It couldn't be anywhere else. You probably don't know how
Speaker 3: to look, and I suppose you do, or I don't
Speaker 3: have to look.
Speaker 1: I know it is.
Speaker 3: You don't say it's in the only place it could be.
Speaker 3: You know, young ro Old Backwater did remove it from
Speaker 3: the table. He took it put into the bathroom, and later,
Speaker 3: when the bedroom was clear, he hid it in your bed.
Speaker 1: But that's preposterous.
Speaker 9: You think I wouldn't have noticed it when I went
Speaker 9: to bed.
Speaker 3: Oh, you would have if you slept in the bed
Speaker 3: you claim you've slept in every night since you joined
Speaker 3: the army.
