Speaker 1: So let's settle back comfortably and lessen. And while you're
Speaker 1: getting settled, I'd like to know if you like seafood

Speaker 1: in front of me and a glass of well chipped
Speaker 1: Petrie so Turned right next to it at Fish, and
Speaker 1: that's So Turned. Pet so Turn has a pale golden
Speaker 1: color that's really good to look at. And as for taste, well,
Speaker 1: that Petree flavor is really something. Take my word for
Speaker 1: it and try it, won't you well, and I'll tell
Speaker 1: you something else. Try that Petrie so turned with chicken sometime. Look,
Speaker 1: I better stop before I get hungry all over again.
Speaker 1: But just remember this. The best friend a good meal
Speaker 1: ever had is a glass of Petree wine. And now
Speaker 1: let's keep our appointment with a good doctor Watson. Good evening, Doctor,
Speaker 1: good evening, come over here and join me by the fun.
Speaker 1: Didn't think it was cold enough for a fire tonight, Doctor.
Speaker 2: There was one late, so I just couldn't resist putting
Speaker 2: a match to it.
Speaker 1: Fire is a good acompany with the story telling anyway.
Speaker 2: Yes, my boy, a far and a glass of port.
Speaker 2: Care to join me in one?
Speaker 1: Thanks, Dogles, So you're gonna tell us a sea story
Speaker 1: any night?
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Bartell. The whole inventor took place aboard a
Speaker 2: small steamer that pliled through the stormy seas of the
Speaker 2: Indian Ocean. Here's your glass.
Speaker 1: Thanks, And what were you and the great Sherlock Holms
Speaker 1: doing on the Indian Ocean?
Speaker 2: May run our way to Calcutta to solve the case
Speaker 2: and the vanishing elephant of Parbooky per.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, the story told us a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2: It's quite right, my boy. It's in the summer of
Speaker 2: eighteen hundred and ninety four. If we left Liverpool aboard
Speaker 2: the steamship Lucifer wasn't a large ship, and has both
Speaker 2: the Mediterranean and the Red Sea proved somewhat so we
Speaker 2: see on friendly. I may tell you the first part
Speaker 2: of the boys was quite unpleasant, in fact, until we
Speaker 2: left Aid and I spent most of the time in
Speaker 2: my cabin. I'm not much of the skiller. However, as
Speaker 2: we headed eastward towards Colombo, the weather cleared up a
Speaker 2: bit and I came on just and joined home. I
Speaker 2: remember on the second night out of Aiden, we paced
Speaker 2: the decks together. The stars above us twinkled, the promise
Speaker 2: of a bright tomorrow, and the faint tinkle of a
Speaker 2: piano being played in the passenger lounge formed a perfect
Speaker 2: setting for an evening stroll.
Speaker 3: On.
Speaker 2: It seems like, yes, Home said, what'sn't it good to
Speaker 2: see on your feet again? It's good to be on
Speaker 2: them holmes.
Speaker 4: It's been a miserable trip from miss over the Captain's
Speaker 4: on me tonight that we can expect good weather between
Speaker 4: here and Calabat.
Speaker 2: A next port of call. I thought Columbo's and next up?
Speaker 2: And where is Keller Battio in me? Call it anyway?
Speaker 2: I never heard of the place, the island in the
Speaker 2: Indian Ocean. It's a British protectorate.
Speaker 4: There's the effect I was able to glean from the
Speaker 4: encyclopedia and the ships.
Speaker 2: As the captain. Why we're stopping there?
Speaker 4: No, No, I didn't. We're traveling incognito. I thought it wise,
Speaker 4: I'm not asked too many questions.
Speaker 2: I find this incognito business something of a strain. Every
Speaker 2: time a Stuart caused me, mister Hamish, I can't think
Speaker 2: who knows these stories are?
Speaker 4: And as I find myself answering to mister Micraft almost
Speaker 4: automatically by the way our chat. Now that you are
Speaker 4: going to mix for the ship's passengers, I suggest that
Speaker 4: you adopted Scotch accent. It would seem more appropriate, mister Hamish,
Speaker 4: and I don't want anyone aboard to sticked out true identity.
Speaker 2: I'll do my best, but I must say, Homes, I
Speaker 2: think you're being unless mysterious part of me.
Speaker 4: I've been influenced by reading too many of your rather florid.
Speaker 2: Stories about adventures together. My stories are not florid or
Speaker 2: perfectly true.
Speaker 4: By the way, you'll be interested to know that I've
Speaker 4: unearthed a little mystery about this books.
Speaker 2: You to do that, Willship.
Speaker 4: I mean, oh, you observe that suite of tins on
Speaker 4: the bridge deck above us?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: For about them, well, I've been watching them during my
Speaker 4: nightiest goals for the past two weeks. The suite is
Speaker 4: occupied and the blinds are never raised, but I've never
Speaker 4: seen meals taken them there.
Speaker 2: I presume, therefore that it must contain a private galley
Speaker 2: and a cook. You're telling mysterious about that. It's probably
Speaker 2: occupied by some wealthy invalid possibly possibly.
Speaker 4: Another interesting factor is that the occupants are not I
Speaker 4: have entered on the ship's passengers.
Speaker 2: All sounds there's probably a pertly simple explanations, but in
Speaker 2: any case, you must save your energies for the problem
Speaker 2: that awaits us in India. You're mister Microft, now, I
Speaker 2: remember that I will mister Hamish. Mister yes, mister Hamish,
Speaker 2: you have to join me.
Speaker 4: For we drop of brandy in the smarting room, mister Hamish,
Speaker 4: I shall be delighted. Oh oh, this is excellent, Brandy Watson.
Speaker 4: You noticed that rather Garrol gentleman over there in the corner.
Speaker 2: You mean the one at the table with the oriental
Speaker 2: gin color.
Speaker 4: Yes, the talkative man is the ship stoped heav and
Speaker 4: I haven't seen the other gentleman before on this voyage.
Speaker 2: I wonder if he's an occupant of the mysterious suite
Speaker 2: of the bridge deck. Let's go up and talk to him,
Speaker 2: shall we?
Speaker 4: And remember the accident mister Hamish. When we landed at Colombo,
Speaker 4: I decided to take missus Abbott.
Speaker 2: From a moonlight rickshaw rifle the cinnamon gardens. Did you,
Speaker 2: gentlemen want to.
Speaker 4: See me if you would excuse us, Doctor Harris, my
Speaker 4: friends to Hamish and I were having a little argument
Speaker 4: and we thought perhaps you might be able to settle it.
Speaker 2: For no argument. Oh I love a good argument.
Speaker 5: Sit down, gentlemen, sir, this is mister Murder are you do, gentlemen?
Speaker 2: Good evenings. My name is Hamishton. This is my friend
Speaker 2: mister Microft. I'm so happy to meet you, gentlemen. Now
Speaker 2: how do you know mister Ah?
Speaker 4: Now, gentlemen, tell me what you're arguing about, Well, a
Speaker 4: good argument, you see it. It was nick an argument
Speaker 4: my friends to Himish insists that the sus Canal was
Speaker 4: built by a Dutchman in eighteen seventy. I'm convinced that
Speaker 4: it was built by Lessips, a Frenchman in eighteen sixty nine.
Speaker 2: We we thought you'd know. You flatter me.
Speaker 4: I'm only a ship's dot and not an historian, ask Urda.
Speaker 4: You probably know, can't you set all the question for
Speaker 4: a sir? I can, like mister Microft, You're almost correct.
Speaker 4: The canal was opened in eighteen sixteen, though it's construction
Speaker 4: again ten years previously. The recepts a French engineer was
Speaker 4: in charge of the operation. There is a statue of
Speaker 4: him in Portside Harbor Bill to commemorate his skill and
Speaker 4: the face much obliged to you, miss Vera Hemish, I
Speaker 4: think that I went my best. I'm afraid you do
Speaker 4: if you're sure of your.
Speaker 6: Facts, mister Vera, I'm sufficiently sure of the mister Hemish
Speaker 6: to venture a small wager myself.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think I'll not make any more
Speaker 2: bets on the subject.
Speaker 6: Panky, Well, gentlemen, if you will excuse me. I shall
Speaker 6: return to my cabin now.
Speaker 2: Oh don't go, No, no, no, don't go. So you'll
Speaker 2: make you feel as if he'd driven you away.
Speaker 6: On another toll, mister Hemish. I enjoyed meeting you both,
Speaker 6: but I have some letters to write. Good evening, gentlemen.
Speaker 2: He's a charming person, charming and extremely knowledgeable. But both,
Speaker 2: if you ask me, you two fellows enjoy the trip.
Speaker 2: I'm just beginning to It takes a little time to
Speaker 2: get my sea legs. You know, Docca Harris, how long
Speaker 2: you've been on the ship oars? Well, there's not the
Speaker 2: third for based on a lucifer.
Speaker 4: Why, Well, there's something that puzzles me on board this ship.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that you would explain it to me.
Speaker 2: And what is it? Well, be a suite of cabins
Speaker 2: on the bridge deck? Who occupied he? Wouldn't you like
Speaker 2: to know? I don't know it would, and that's why
Speaker 2: my friend asked you.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you, though it's supposed to be a secret,
Speaker 4: but there'll be no harm in telling you how. For
Speaker 4: we're dropping Anchor off the island of Kavaratti in the morning.
Speaker 4: In that suite of rooms, in that suite of rooms
Speaker 4: is the Rani of Cavarati herself.
Speaker 2: She has her own staff of servants and everything. What
Speaker 2: do you think of that? How very interesting?
Speaker 4: And is the audienceal gentleman who left the table where
Speaker 4: we arrived part of our entoura he is he's the
Speaker 4: sort of prime minister of Kavarati. This hope for days
Speaker 4: is very hash Hash. Rani returning to her country afraid
Speaker 4: someone might make an attack on her life, has to
Speaker 4: keep it all hashash.
Speaker 5: Cavaratti's an island that's had a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2: You seem to be remarkably well informed about the place.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I should be. And there's the practice there in
Speaker 5: my younger days.
Speaker 2: Very interesting.
Speaker 5: Yes, I could tell you strange tales about the island.
Speaker 7: I remember.
Speaker 5: Oh hello, see that fellow coming into the lounge.
Speaker 2: You mean the big man with the gray hair is
Speaker 2: and Sir.
Speaker 4: Christopher Wyatt owns all the tea plantations on Cabaatti.
Speaker 2: He's a dub.
Speaker 4: Fellow, but I'll call him over. Eh, Wyatt, come over
Speaker 4: and join us. Be careful, we talk your head off
Speaker 4: if you give him half a chance.
Speaker 2: Ah, go up a chair, Wyatt.
Speaker 4: We were just just talking about Cabaretti. It seems to
Speaker 4: me that would be a good subject to keep away.
Speaker 5: From him, at least till after tomorrow. Harris, what do
Speaker 5: you mean? You know perfectly well what I mean.
Speaker 4: I should have thought that after your own experience on
Speaker 4: Caberatti you'd have learned a little distression.
Speaker 2: You're talking like a schoolmaster, Wires.
Speaker 4: Why did he sit down and have a dream from
Speaker 4: his friendly thank you eyes before my own company, composess. Huh,
Speaker 4: You and Sir Christopher don't seem on the best terms.
Speaker 4: I know too much about him. He's afraid of me,
Speaker 4: that's what he is. Look at this girl coming in
Speaker 4: the room, late cut. He's good looking, judging by our
Speaker 4: oriental costume. She must be a number of the Rani's retinue.
Speaker 5: She's coming to our table, is my dear?
Speaker 2: What is it? Which of you, gentlemen?
Speaker 7: Is mister micro Please?
Speaker 8: I am my mystery?
Speaker 7: Sends her compliments and asked that you will call on
Speaker 7: her in her suit?
Speaker 2: And who is our miss?
Speaker 7: May I ask her highness? The Romney of cavaratis Oh.
Speaker 4: I should be delighted. Please tell the Rani that I
Speaker 4: shall pay my specs without delay. We will join her
Speaker 4: in a few minutes.
Speaker 3: Very well, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Hermes is pretty exciting. The girls just brought us
Speaker 2: the message was a stunning creature. Imagine what the Rayne
Speaker 2: must be. What any durable emphasis you are watching?
Speaker 4: I suppose you picture the Rani clad an oriental splendor,
Speaker 4: reclining like an odorless silken cuss.
Speaker 2: There's no need to make fun of you have the cabin.
Speaker 7: Oh it is you, gentlemen, follow me, please, hony, her Highness,
Speaker 7: the Rani of Kabarati. All right, you canny yours.
Speaker 8: Don't have pistotled Come in and sit down. What's the matter?
Speaker 8: What's the matter? Don't I sit into your picture of
Speaker 8: a ronie? What did you expect to slant hard beauty.
Speaker 3: With a veil and bigiot?
Speaker 2: Well, I've got the bigots.
Speaker 8: All right, I'll never mindy Your highness sit you, says down.
Speaker 8: It's all three and easy. Like I may as well
Speaker 8: begin by telling you that I know you both are,
Speaker 8: mister Sherlock and Dr Watson. I've seen you in the
Speaker 8: good old days in London, you know.
Speaker 4: I may I ask if I visit this purely a
Speaker 4: social one or are you in need of that professional advice?
Speaker 8: Little of both, mister Olmes, A little of both, and
Speaker 8: we'll start off.
Speaker 1: With the show Roma Meme save Champagne bought that Jimme's side.
Speaker 2: If you pardon, may ask you, madam, but I'm gonna
Speaker 2: see you before them.
Speaker 8: Oh that's that question, always haven't answered.
Speaker 2: Yes, you're probably have Dr Watson.
Speaker 8: You see, I was in the corners the Daily's Theater
Speaker 8: in London for what a few years, until the Roger
Speaker 8: of Carvaratti decided I'd look better on his island, and
Speaker 8: I didn't follow the footline.
Speaker 2: Your husband Roger is dead, isn't he?
Speaker 8: Yes, he was killed playing Polo Champagne Meme's side.
Speaker 7: Colo Champagne in the sector at you. He doesn't speak English.
Speaker 8: I won't get along. We'll tell you my trouples, mister Elmes.
Speaker 8: Somebody's trying to kill me.
Speaker 2: It's good. I ask what reason you have seen that? Madam?
Speaker 8: You names round. Before I left England, I had threatening
Speaker 8: letters warning me that if ITHER went back to Cavaratti,
Speaker 8: I'd never get to the island alive. I got another
Speaker 8: letter in Port's side that said the same thing. You
Speaker 8: kept these letters, I trust, Yeah, I didn't. I've tore
Speaker 8: them up. I never did pay attention to letters that
Speaker 8: weren't signed.
Speaker 2: To get pity, madam. Those letters might have been invaluable.
Speaker 8: Now it's too late to think about that now, doctor Watson,
Speaker 8: here's what's on my mind. I land Kabarati in the morning,
Speaker 8: and if anyone's up to our bit of no good,
Speaker 8: tonight's their last chance.
Speaker 4: You would destroyed the threatening letters, madam, thereby indicating that
Speaker 4: you did not believe in the threats. And yet you
Speaker 4: now appear to feel that you are in danger. I
Speaker 4: wonder what made you change your mind?
Speaker 8: The ace of spade.
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't understand you, madam.
Speaker 8: In the last two days, every time I tell my fortune,
Speaker 8: I get the ice of spade.
Speaker 7: Now you know what that means?
Speaker 2: Death?
Speaker 4: Oh, if your pard might say so, that's a very
Speaker 4: childish stuperstition.
Speaker 8: And the cards have never larged me yet. Oh you
Speaker 8: can laugh at it if you like.
Speaker 4: But I know well you mind if I asked you
Speaker 4: a free questions, anything along, mister Olms far away?
Speaker 2: How long has it since you were in Kabaddi?
Speaker 8: About eighteen months. We were in England when my husband
Speaker 8: died and I couldn't face the idea of going to
Speaker 8: that island alone in three months ago. Verder Oh, he's
Speaker 8: the chief minister of Cabaret.
Speaker 2: And we met him for a moment in the town.
Speaker 8: Verda came over to England to persuade me.
Speaker 2: It was my duty.
Speaker 8: Is the wrongie to go back?
Speaker 2: I see, as far as you know, have you any
Speaker 2: enemies among the passengers on board the ship.
Speaker 8: That's an id one to answer, mister Olmes. But I
Speaker 8: can tell you right here Inmr sweet to someone who
Speaker 8: doesn't like me. A girl I don know, the one
Speaker 8: that brought you my message. She was in love with
Speaker 8: a Roger herself. I know she hates me, even though
Speaker 8: she did state me in England after my husband died.
Speaker 2: How about further you are a minister.
Speaker 8: Oh, he's all right. My husband thought the world of
Speaker 8: him and he's been wonderful to me.
Speaker 2: He came from Cavarac recently, you say, to persuade you
Speaker 2: to return there.
Speaker 8: That's right, mister Olmes. Well Fulma seems to be all
Speaker 8: right after drinking that champagne, so it'll be safe for
Speaker 8: our steps on there.
Speaker 5: Champagne and Lo bought that.
Speaker 1: Jimme said, I've been burning with curiosity to know why
Speaker 1: you gave him a glass of champagne a few minutes ago,
Speaker 1: and yet we didn't.
Speaker 2: Have any Well, surely that's obvious, Watson. A filmer is
Speaker 2: the official poison taster.
Speaker 8: That's right, mister Omes. He tastes everything I eat or
Speaker 8: drink before. If the jottle.
Speaker 3: Affect him, then I know it's safe.
Speaker 8: Good brought him over to England when he came to
Speaker 8: fetch me on the island of Cavarati. Pois means quite
Speaker 8: an rb.
Speaker 4: You know there were two people in the smoking room
Speaker 4: tonight who seem to know quite a lot about your island.
Speaker 4: The ship's doctor rather Gatalus, gentleman by the name of Harris,
Speaker 4: and Sir Christopher Wyatt, who owned tea plantations on the island.
Speaker 2: Do you know either of them? Medam?
Speaker 8: We should say I do both of them. Doctor Harris
Speaker 8: isn't any good. He was on the island a bit,
Speaker 8: got into some kind of trouble. Then my husband had
Speaker 8: them thrown at.
Speaker 2: And how about Sir Christopher Wyatt?
Speaker 8: How Chris is all right? I saw quite a bit
Speaker 8: of them in London after my husband's death. It is
Speaker 8: a matter of effect. Well, if I weren't going back
Speaker 8: to Cabaratti. I don't think he'd be on the boat
Speaker 8: at all. He hasn't been here for over five years.
Speaker 4: Off sits.
Speaker 8: He had aroused my husband over the wages he paid
Speaker 8: the native labor.
Speaker 4: It seemed to me that several people aboard this boat
Speaker 4: have a personal interest in the island of Cabaratti, interests
Speaker 4: that might be influence.
Speaker 2: Wants to buy your death, is what I was going
Speaker 2: to say, Madam, I think we should keep an eye
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 8: Oh, that's just what I was hoping you'd say. Doctor.
Speaker 8: You see, I aren't given a bit of a supper
Speaker 8: party tonight. All the people we've been talking about have
Speaker 8: been invited. And I thought, when I thought, if you
Speaker 8: two were to be here, can I should be on
Speaker 8: the lookout for any any funny business all about it?
Speaker 2: Of course, will come won't be home.
Speaker 4: I think it might be a good idea, though, I
Speaker 4: would suggest that we retain our incontinentails as mister Hamish.
Speaker 8: And mister mic whatever you say, mister Jones, and now
Speaker 8: let's have that champagne.
Speaker 2: You know, Holmes. I remember the rally when she was
Speaker 2: on the course of Dayli's she looks tunguing and tight.
Speaker 2: There was one night. We don't mind that the moment.
Speaker 2: The question I would ask you, is yon Metal fully.
Speaker 4: Equipped with all the antidotes to poison poisons?
Speaker 2: Ridiculous? How could the Rani be poisoned when she has
Speaker 2: a poison taster? My dear Watson, you mustn't do.
Speaker 4: What's the blazers Watson that's liking in the companion way.
Speaker 4: There are two figures strugged him.
Speaker 3: On the rail.
Speaker 2: Good heavens what I'm gonna push it up? And I'm
Speaker 2: a companion way. Good Lord, this car smashed in. I'm
Speaker 2: afraid that eat. What's happened? It's a Christopher Waatt? What
Speaker 2: are you doing here?
Speaker 4: I was taking a stroll. I've heard a yell from
Speaker 4: this direction and caner as fast as I could. Great Scott,
Speaker 4: this fellows beating badly.
Speaker 2: You must get the ship's doctor.
Speaker 4: It's hardly necessary, I fear, sir Christopher. Do you mean
Speaker 4: in the first place, this man is dead. In the
Speaker 4: second place, he is the ship's doctor.
Speaker 1: We'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
Speaker 1: a second. So I'm just gonna ask you to do
Speaker 1: one thing for me, well, I should say, for yourself.
Speaker 1: Tomorrow night. If you're having meat or any meat dish
Speaker 1: for dinner, why not open up a bottle of Petrie
Speaker 1: California Burgundy. That wonderful, rich red Petri Burgundy will turn
Speaker 1: your dinner into a real feast. You see if it doesn't,
Speaker 1: because there's nothing like a good wine with good food.
Speaker 1: And I know your family gets good food, and I
Speaker 1: know that Patri Burgundy is a good wine. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's a perfect meal time wine. Try it and see.
Speaker 1: And now, doctor Watson, tell us what happened next? You
Speaker 1: said you found the ship's doctor dead at the foot
Speaker 1: of the companion way. Yes, mister Boto, his neck had
Speaker 1: been broken instantly. Imagine there was a good deal of
Speaker 1: excitement aboard.
Speaker 2: No, my boy's a matter of fact, there wasn't. He
Speaker 2: managed to get the body back to it's Kevin without
Speaker 2: attracting attention. Holmes, after revealing his true identity, was able
Speaker 2: to persuade the captain to hush up for killing until
Speaker 2: after Laurana's party had taken place.
Speaker 1: Well, he didn't want to scare the murderer. I guess
Speaker 1: what happened next, Doctor Holmes, and I returned to Kevin
Speaker 1: to dress for the party. Holmes I remember was in
Speaker 1: a state of suppressed excitement. He spoke quietly and.
Speaker 2: Watson, surely it's obvious why the doctor was murdered.
Speaker 4: Obvious to me, it's elemental. My dear fellow, you are
Speaker 4: being a subtle murder by poison? How wise to remove
Speaker 4: the one man who might save the victim's life, a doctor?
Speaker 2: You keep harping on poisoning. It seems to me to
Speaker 2: be the last way a murder would try to dispose
Speaker 2: of the ranee. Everything she touches is first tested by
Speaker 2: the poison tester exactly. That's why I call it a
Speaker 2: subtle murder attempt.
Speaker 4: Didn't you notice the physical attributes of pruma the poison tester,
Speaker 4: which in particular usually glossy hair, is remarked by clear
Speaker 4: complex from his figure.
Speaker 2: Look here, just a hunting will you? I presume that
Speaker 2: in your medical bag you have a supply of magnesia?
Speaker 2: That true? Do you also have hydrated federicoxide? Yes? Ill
Speaker 2: spread it's party other things to take to a party?
Speaker 2: A true, my dear fellow.
Speaker 4: But I'm afraid that this party may not prove as
Speaker 4: convivial as the Rani thinks.
Speaker 2: Homes It's nearly one in the morning. Everything seems to
Speaker 2: be going splendidly. It seems to be Watson. But keep
Speaker 2: your eyes on the Ranee. Yes, I have been the
Speaker 2: poison taster, has tested everything that passed her lips. We
Speaker 2: don't donish to you. To Christopher, you haven't a good time?
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed thanking it to Hamish. I'll about you into Micraft.
Speaker 4: All Rannie's a perfect coast is who could help having
Speaker 4: a good time. I don't think that girl Rejuna should
Speaker 4: be here though. I don't want to be pompous, but
Speaker 4: after all, she's only a glorified certaint. Not possibly the
Speaker 4: laws of it Keta not so strict in can Cavaratias
Speaker 4: they are in London's Christopher, Oh, perhaps you're right, but
Speaker 4: I don't trust the girl. Something shifty about him. I've
Speaker 4: told the Rhine more than once. Oh well, I suppose
Speaker 4: it's none of my business. I think I'll try and
Speaker 4: persuade the Rani to sing one of her all songs.
Speaker 2: He doesn't trust her don and I don't trust him.
Speaker 2: I don't think it was excellent. We found him near
Speaker 2: the body of doctor hersh becomes Spira.
Speaker 5: I trust you gentlemen are enjoying yourself.
Speaker 2: Very much, Vera, thank you.
Speaker 4: I imagine you must be excited at the prospect to
Speaker 4: preturn to Kalabati.
Speaker 2: I am, mister Microft.
Speaker 6: Though I only left it three months ago, it has
Speaker 6: seemed more like three years.
Speaker 2: If you can what time will arrive there?
Speaker 5: I am told that we shall be there in five hours.
Speaker 2: Mister Henry, Oh look look at the pianids. He must
Speaker 2: be in the gears a tune. Yes, let's move a
Speaker 2: little cursa, shall we.
Speaker 8: Chris he Is asked me to think. I think, yeah,
Speaker 8: my voice isn't what it used to be, and don't
Speaker 8: all know it? But my spirit said I am, and
Speaker 8: that's enough to put.
Speaker 2: A number over.
Speaker 8: So well, boys, here away go. So we hot the
Speaker 8: man in the moon. I'm going to marry him soon.
Speaker 8: You would kill me with the bliss just to give
Speaker 8: him one kiss, but I know that a dozen and
