What acrassine invisible 350 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,640 dust which turns blood red on contact with water used 351 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:25,880 often in counter seait pas ah. 352 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:29,079 Speaker 6: See and Ikey got his hands wet on the doorknob. 353 00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:33,039 Then when he picked up the dusted envelopes, the dice 354 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,400 pain his hands red precisely. 355 00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 3: First question answers for her. 356 00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 4: But here's a second. 357 00:25:40,759 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 6: In the paper, it says that Missus Days discovered the 358 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,799 forgery and assisted you in catching the criminal. Now that's 359 00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:50,599 stretching the truth. Pop, why'd you do it? 360 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:58,599 Speaker 3: Ah? Missus Day's suffered because of crime, entire life's mass 361 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:05,079 now has profited from solution of second crime, has achieved 362 00:26:05,799 --> 00:26:10,519 standing in community and honor in eyes. 363 00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 4: Of friends who she won't try to run away anymore precisely, 364 00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:20,400 and she has learned very little lesson of Manchus, who. 365 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:26,799 Speaker 3: Said throuble is like man's shadow, can never run fast 366 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:45,720 enough to escape either. Before this person has further words 367 00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:50,799 with you, here is an answer with wealth of wisdom. 368 00:27:12,079 --> 00:27:16,319 Before saying good night, Charlie chan would like to leave 369 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:23,400 you few words of ancient philosopher. Just when we are 370 00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:30,960 giving up seeky, it's time to find good night. Thank you. 371 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 2: Be sure to join us next week at the same 372 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:51,400 time for the adventures of Charlie Chack, based on the 373 00:27:51,519 --> 00:28:10,279 famous character created by Older Beggars. This is a Grace 374 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,839 Gibson radio production produced by REDG. Johnston. 375 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: Welcome back, and if you're listening in the morning, you 376 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,799 already learned your new word for the day, schwroff. Now, 377 00:28:28,839 --> 00:28:33,839 the meaning of shroff, which there's some indication of Chinese 378 00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:39,599 Indian origin, but also some Arabic connections, is a banker 379 00:28:39,799 --> 00:28:44,160 or money changer, although the lending part isn't the most 380 00:28:44,319 --> 00:28:48,440 prominent thing that people think of, because as money changers 381 00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:52,599 they needed to test the purity of coins to make 382 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,160 sure they weren't counterfeit. And schwff is not only a noun, 383 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,279 it is a verb, and the verb form of shroff 384 00:29:01,519 --> 00:29:04,799 was the dictionary dot Com word of the Day on 385 00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:08,640 April fifteenth of this year, with the meaning to test 386 00:29:08,759 --> 00:29:11,720 coins to find out the purity of the metal. So 387 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,000 if you're measuring the purity of a silver coin, for example, 388 00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:19,079 you are said to be shroffing it. Now, the other 389 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,319 thing I'd note is that I have to admit, at 390 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:27,599 first I didn't care much for Chan's attempt to get 391 00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:32,799 the mother to continue to stay in San Francisco, because 392 00:29:33,039 --> 00:29:36,079 my thought is that sort of decision is very personal 393 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,400 and that you can't tell people to stay and it's 394 00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:43,839 not necessarily indicated. But I think you have to interpret 395 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,400 it through the lens of his time and ours. We 396 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,440 are much less tied to a sense of place than 397 00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:54,960 people were in the early parts of the twentiethifth century. 398 00:29:55,559 --> 00:29:58,319 We are far more likely in the twenty first century 399 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,319 to relocate for reasons far less severe than having a 400 00:30:03,559 --> 00:30:07,960 son involved in a notorious crime and killed. Moving away 401 00:30:08,119 --> 00:30:11,240 from somewhere you'd lived all your life would be a 402 00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:16,640 more radical change in that era. And give the inspector credit. 403 00:30:16,759 --> 00:30:19,720 He went out of his way to make it easier 404 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,640 for her to continue to stay. All right, well, now 405 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,920 we're callment feedback, and then I have a comment from 406 00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:33,599 Mechanics sixty six regarding the episode Escape Musician. Thanks for 407 00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:37,279 clearing that up about the Australian accident. I thought I 408 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,880 was imagining it. I thought the guy the fairy sounded 409 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:41,759 British as well. 410 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:42,759 Speaker 3: Could be. 411 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: There were not only Australian actors in Australian radio, there 412 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,480 were also American expats and I think also some British 413 00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:56,519 expats as well.

How you closed our eyes? 431 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,240 I wish it'd have been me. 432 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: Maybe you got there ahead of me, Nikki. Maybe you 433 00:31:48,039 --> 00:31:50,319 weren't dancing, saw Georgia in a pleace. You never thought 434 00:31:50,359 --> 00:31:52,799 you'd be killed her because she was getting away from you. 435 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:57,759 Speaker 11: Oh you die it, Danny, awful daya.
