Speaker 1: This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
Speaker 1: transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
Speaker 1: and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Speaker 1: Radio Service.
Speaker 2: Petree Wine brings you nas A Lathborne and.
Speaker 1: Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The
Speaker 1: Petrie family, the family that took time to bring you
Speaker 1: good wine. Invites you to listen to doctor Watson tell
Speaker 1: us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend,
Speaker 1: that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And I'd like to tell
Speaker 1: you about something doctor Watson shared with me the other night.
Speaker 1: Some Petrie California's sherry. Do you ever have a glass
Speaker 1: of Petrie sherry before dinner? That's a swell time for it,
Speaker 1: because the Petrie sherry is the beginning a good meal
Speaker 1: ever had?
Speaker 3: What a wine?
Speaker 1: You don't have to serve it in fancy wine glasses either,
Speaker 1: not Petrie sherry. That wine would taste wonderful if you
Speaker 1: drank it out of a water glass.
Speaker 2: It can just taste those sun ripe and grapes.
Speaker 1: And incidentally, if you like your sherry dry, you know,
Speaker 1: not sweet, then just do what I do. Ask for
Speaker 1: Petrie pale dry sherry. It's a good idea to always
Speaker 1: have a bottle of Petrie sherry in the house because
Speaker 1: it's just the thing to serve when company catches you unprepared.
Speaker 1: And believe me, you can serve that Petrie sherry proudly
Speaker 1: because it's the fact that the name Petrie is the
Speaker 1: proudest name and the history of American wis And now
Speaker 1: let's visit with our good friend, doctor Watson. I always expecting.
Speaker 4: Good evening, mister Boman. Doctor. Oh you have the.
Speaker 2: Old black ten dispatch box out again.
Speaker 5: Yes, my boy, I've just been refreshing my memory on
Speaker 5: one or two points in Connections tonight, storing it draw
Speaker 5: for you. Thanks the Tobacco's and the job beside you.
Speaker 1: Thanks doctor. You know I'm particularly excited about hearing your
Speaker 1: story tonight. Last week you told us that Sherlock holmes
Speaker 1: brother Micraft Holmes.
Speaker 4: Took part in the advantage. That's quite right, mister Bartell.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know mister Holmes had a brother. I
Speaker 1: wish you'd tell me something about it.
Speaker 5: Well, Microft was seven years older than Charlotte, but the
Speaker 5: difference between them was amazing, while Holmes was lean and
Speaker 5: consumed with a burning energy.
Speaker 4: His older brother was fat and lazy, and he at
Speaker 4: Holmes has.
Speaker 5: Often told me that Microft was his superior in paths
Speaker 5: of observation and deduction.
Speaker 1: Well, now you've thoroughly weted my appetite, doctor, how's about it?
Speaker 5: Very well, my boy, I suppose this story really began
Speaker 5: in Microft Holmes's room at the Foreign Office in London.
Speaker 5: Although I've said he was a lazy man, he did
Speaker 5: hold a position of considerable importance. In fact, you may
Speaker 5: remember that on more than one occasion Holmes has said Microft.
Speaker 4: Is the British government. But do to get back to
Speaker 4: my story.
Speaker 5: So on a June morning in nineteen hundred and twelve,
Speaker 5: just for the First World War, but a young man
Speaker 5: in the Foreign Office named Guy I Travers stood talking
Speaker 5: to Mycroft Homes, who SATs pauled in an armchair before him,
Speaker 5: his feet resting on another chair, his cup hands cradling
Speaker 5: is ample stuff.
Speaker 2: Mister Holmes, I said, mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep,
Speaker 2: have you, sir?
Speaker 6: No, Travelers, I'm not asleep. I'm just waiting for you
Speaker 6: to get to the point.
Speaker 2: Well, sir, the point is that I'm on the track
Speaker 2: for most of loosive female spy.
Speaker 4: Dear me, how exhausting.
Speaker 2: She's dangerous, sir, very dangerous. She did not have the
Speaker 2: e collector of information, but a sort of central clearing
Speaker 2: house of military secrets as well.
Speaker 7: You seem to be a little young, Travers, to be
Speaker 7: on such a case.
Speaker 2: I asked the assignment, sir, why female's eyes aren't as
Speaker 2: glamorous as they sound. You know, no one knows that
Speaker 2: better than I do, Sir. You see, my brother got
Speaker 2: mixed up with this girl two years ago who was
Speaker 2: cashier from his regiment and committed suicide.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Travers. Tell me what you found out about her.
Speaker 6: You say you've been on her track.
Speaker 2: I've traced her to a number of seaside towns, but
Speaker 2: she keeps slipping through my fingers.
Speaker 8: Have you a list of the towns?
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, here you are no, no, no, you read them
Speaker 7: to me.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: I first got on a track at Tortee. From there
Speaker 2: I pulled it Awaymouth, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Wagner, Worthing, Hove, Brighton,
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 7: Trust you through the obvious conclusion.
Speaker 2: I think I did, sir, Several of those towns are
Speaker 2: naval basis.
Speaker 4: No, no, no.
Speaker 6: The list you just read me is to recognize theatrical circuit.
Speaker 2: Oh, I never thought of that.
Speaker 6: The simplest way to track down your spy is to
Speaker 6: find whether she was appearing in either a play or
Speaker 6: variety act in all of the towns on the dates
Speaker 6: covered by your inquiries.
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Holmes, I'll do that at once, and i'll
Speaker 2: report back to you.
Speaker 7: Oh very well, if you must close the.
Speaker 4: Door quietly, won't you?
Speaker 3: I'm confoundedly sleepy, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2: Mister Holmes, you haven't gone to sleep again, have you? Sir?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 7: It's you travels well? What did you find out? A
Speaker 7: great deal?
Speaker 4: Sir?
Speaker 2: The only theatrical shoulder was appearing at all of those
Speaker 2: towns was a magician's act called the Great Gandolfo.
Speaker 7: I trust you went and saw the performance.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, last night at Hastings. And the magician's assistant
Speaker 2: was a girl who looked exactly like the one I
Speaker 2: saw my brother with two years ago.
Speaker 7: Did you go backstage and talk to her?
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, what's a funny thing for? Though she looked
Speaker 2: exactly like the other girl, I swear she isn't the
Speaker 2: same one. This girl seemed utterly charming and sincere when
Speaker 2: she told me she had never heard of my brother.
Speaker 6: Hmm, that's the danger of putting you, young fellows on
Speaker 6: a case of this kind. A beautiful woman and a
Speaker 6: good actress can fool you nine times out of ten.
Speaker 7: What's your next move?
Speaker 4: Travels well, sir?
Speaker 2: I was hoping preps. Perhaps you might come down with him, Ciliac,
Speaker 2: it's playing at Eastbourne tomorrow. It's not very fast.
Speaker 6: Stir my twenties dove leave, leave the comfort of my
Speaker 6: office and club to.
Speaker 9: Track a spy.
Speaker 4: No, my boy.
Speaker 7: However, your mention of Eastbourne gives me an idea.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, my young brother, Sherlock is living.
Speaker 6: On a bee farm a few miles outside Eastbourne.
Speaker 7: He might help you.
Speaker 2: He's a great detective, isn't he?
Speaker 3: Sir?
Speaker 2: I have never.
Speaker 6: Regarded him as well, So I will admit that for
Speaker 6: the man was such a shock excess of physical energy,
Speaker 6: he possesses a relatively superior mind.
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, go and ask Sherlock thank you, sir. I
Speaker 10: will tell him the dis If he.
Speaker 6: Can solve the case, I'll do it for him, and
Speaker 6: without leaving London.
Speaker 2: And so mister Holmes. I did it your brother suggested,
Speaker 2: and came down here to Eastbourne to tell you about
Speaker 2: the King.
Speaker 8: I quite understand mis travels.
Speaker 5: The interesting story is too, my boy. I'm certainly glad
Speaker 5: that I happened to be staying down here with you.
Speaker 4: Holmes. You will handle the case, of course.
Speaker 10: I'm undecided, old fellow. The problem presents some interesting possibilities.
Speaker 10: And get my life here among the bees has taken
Speaker 10: a pleasant and soothing pattern. Oh I hateed to.
Speaker 4: Still come, Come, come homes. It would be good for
Speaker 4: you to get away from your wretched bees for a
Speaker 4: few days.
Speaker 2: I forgot to tell you, mister Holmes, as I left
Speaker 2: your brother he told me that if you couldn't solve
Speaker 2: the case, he'd do it for you without leaving London.
Speaker 10: Dear Old Micraft. He meant that the challenge handing the paper?
Speaker 10: Will you Watson?
Speaker 4: Thanks? O jaf.
Speaker 8: What are you looking for, amusing guide?
Speaker 6: Ah?
Speaker 10: It is Devonshire Theater, Eastbourne, twice nightly variety is six
Speaker 10: thirty and nine The Great Gamdolfo, King of Magic.
Speaker 2: Will we come to the theater with me tonight?
Speaker 10: Mister Holmes, certainly I can't allow my cross challenge to
Speaker 10: go unanswered. And I'm sure the doctor Watson will accompany
Speaker 10: us when I tell him. Miss Sissy Gitana is also
Speaker 10: appearing on the bill, singing an old favorite of his.
Speaker 10: There was I a white Jean at the church, White
Speaker 10: Jean atte the church, Oh, white jean at the church.
Speaker 10: All sent me all he said me round here is
Speaker 10: the very is what he around.
Speaker 4: You can't get it work to marry him today?
Speaker 11: My what we send.
Speaker 5: That's the most entertaining woman. Forty Gaitana and that's good.
Speaker 5: Look into Cliff.
Speaker 2: The Great Gandolfo is next, mister Holmes.
Speaker 8: Yes, I'm just telling the program.
Speaker 2: Ha ha.
Speaker 8: He's not exactly modest in his claims.
Speaker 10: The Great Gandolfo the world Staggering Illusionist, presenting the Seating
Speaker 10: Cabinet Mystery, assisted by Missus Florvin lassul gm me how
Speaker 10: very Florid.
Speaker 5: I must say, I love this old music hall flavor.
Speaker 5: I remember going to the Palace here a few years ago.
Speaker 5: It's the perfectly charming girl, who are white? Chris made
Speaker 5: it look like a little white rabbit. That Chris did
Speaker 5: look quite people coming, I would say, I said my
Speaker 5: card around the stage.
Speaker 4: There was some flowers. Of course, that's my mains massive.
Speaker 8: Sorry, old fellow, that I'm not paid. You'll have to
Speaker 8: finish the leader. The curtain's coming out.
Speaker 2: There, he is, that's the great Gandolfo by Jones.
Speaker 4: Listen for the attractive, isn't you?
Speaker 8: Listen, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 12: It gives me great pleasure to be here before you tonight.
Speaker 12: I may say that the seiling cabinet mystery that I
Speaker 12: am about to present has entertained and perplexed half a
Speaker 12: dozen of the crown wings over it together with their Queen.
Speaker 7: Come don't ask them, get on with the.
Speaker 12: Text, And I may say, I'm hoping that you, ladies
Speaker 12: and gentlemen will give me the same courtesy of attention
Speaker 12: that was given me by the Royalty.
Speaker 8: I have just meant.
Speaker 7: Now, before I present.
Speaker 12: My illusion, I should like to ask for two volunteers
Speaker 12: from the audience who will come on here beside the
Speaker 12: other stage, so that I may be watching two volunteers.
Speaker 10: Please wait for mister Travers very well, mister Helms, come
Speaker 10: on watch them me that we're going up on the
Speaker 10: stage years.
Speaker 8: Into a wonderful opportunity.
Speaker 12: Here do I see two gentlemen rising splendid. Two gentlemen
Speaker 12: are coming up from the audience.
Speaker 4: Two gentlemen that I have ever seen before.
Speaker 12: Watch the simple that's it over the footlight, then onto
Speaker 12: the stage.
Speaker 8: That's right.
Speaker 7: And now, sir, have you ever seen me before?
Speaker 4: Never?
Speaker 2: And you, sir, don't be afraid to speak up.
Speaker 12: Sir, mister Sewer, please see that.
Speaker 4: The gentlemen are seated.
Speaker 2: I thank you.
Speaker 12: Now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to watch me closely.
Speaker 2: You will observe that there is a wooden cabinet on
Speaker 2: the stage.
Speaker 12: There is also another cabinet of the same shape and
Speaker 12: size hanging eye above me, which you can.
Speaker 4: Pull or see a glass of water. Please, mister Sewer,
Speaker 4: I'll go on put a.
Speaker 7: What did you say, sir?
Speaker 4: You you ain't got floor here.
Speaker 7: We will dispense with the glass of water.
Speaker 12: Now, my assistant, Miss Florine le Sur will step into
Speaker 12: this cabinet on the stage.
Speaker 7: I want you to, gentlemen to watch very closely.
Speaker 2: Mister Sewer is now lying in side the cabinet.
Speaker 8: Is she nuts?
Speaker 3: Yes, very well.
Speaker 7: I close the list so I lock it with these bombs.
Speaker 7: And now I.
Speaker 12: Ask one of you, juentlemen to attach this padlock to
Speaker 12: the box you, sir, will you oblige me very will?
Speaker 7: I thank you?
Speaker 8: And now, ladies and judglement, before your eyes.
Speaker 12: You have seen mister Sewer enter a cabinet on this stage,
Speaker 12: a cabinet that has been bogged and cadrols. You can
Speaker 12: still see the duplicate cabinet and above me.
Speaker 8: By an attachment of wires and pulleys.
Speaker 7: I now count a one, A two, A three, and
Speaker 7: fire this revolver and the cabinet above me.
Speaker 12: Yeah, if you two gentlemen will kindly help me, we.
Speaker 2: Will lower the singling cabinet to the safe. You will
Speaker 2: notice that this is also vaulted and pad I will
Speaker 2: ask one of you two gentlemen to unbolted.
Speaker 4: I thank you, sir.
Speaker 7: And to this gentleman, are s your and the key
Speaker 7: of the paddock currently unlock it?
Speaker 1: Sir?
Speaker 7: I thank you, and now if you will both praised
Speaker 7: the leader of the cabinets, any ladies and gentlemen, is
Speaker 7: it Florine latour?
Speaker 4: Why did we have to leave homes?
Speaker 8: Was having a wonder who dies away? About something that
Speaker 8: was work to be done?
Speaker 2: Mister Holmes, if you want to go backstage, I'll introduce
Speaker 2: you to listener, sir, to spell.
Speaker 10: Before we do that, mister Travis, there's one important fact
Speaker 10: I want to know.
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 2: Sir?
Speaker 8: I presume you'll have a.
Speaker 10: Dossier of the available facts concerning the spy.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, everything that we've been able to find out.
Speaker 8: I'm evidence. Do you buy any chance to have any
Speaker 8: pinkerprint records? Yes, sir, I do spend it.
Speaker 10: Then let's go at once to the nearest police station
Speaker 10: and compare the finer prints on this glass with those
Speaker 10: in your possession.
Speaker 4: Where did you get that glass home?
Speaker 10: You remember that miss less sewer before she entered that
Speaker 10: cabinet on the stage handed gamped off for a glass
Speaker 10: of water?
Speaker 4: You mean that for glass?
Speaker 8: Why else should I be carrying a drinking glass with me?
Speaker 8: Or chappen very.
Speaker 2: Neat, mister Holmes, and right under the nose of a
Speaker 2: magician too.
Speaker 10: Well, I'm not exactly ineptate the practice of a leisure
Speaker 10: domain myself, mister Travers.
Speaker 8: Will come on, let's have a talk with.
Speaker 13: That local fingerprint expert joby, mister Holmes.
Speaker 10: A fingerprints on this glass you brought me out up
Speaker 10: the same as the one shown in this record?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Positive?
Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely send us as I thought.
Speaker 10: I'm much obliged to you, always glad to have a
Speaker 10: gentleman Mike you, mister Jones, thank you and good night.
Speaker 8: Come on travers Watson.
Speaker 2: So we should explain what you're up to home, So
Speaker 2: do I, sir, I'm completely in the dark.
Speaker 10: Surely it's obvious the only way Gandalfo's trick could be
Speaker 10: done by using twin girls dressed identically, of course, one
Speaker 10: in the cabinet on the stage and the other in
Speaker 10: the cabinet hanging from the ceiling.
Speaker 8: I don't know whether you noticed it, Wasson, but there.
Speaker 10: Were small holes drilled around the base of the box,
Speaker 10: undoubtedly to enable its occupant to breathe.
Speaker 2: By George, of course, that would explain why the girl
Speaker 2: I spoke to you didn't seem to know me or
Speaker 2: my brother when I spoke of him.
Speaker 8: M m exactly.
Speaker 10: And in any case, how better could a spy hide
Speaker 10: herself from a row where her employer, a magician, must,
Speaker 10: by the very nature of her trick and deny her existence.
Speaker 10: The question is which girl is the spy? This finger
Speaker 10: printess has given us the answer.
Speaker 5: You mean, it isn't a girl on the stage who
Speaker 5: one persisted Gandalfo.
Speaker 8: It certainly is not all well on.
Speaker 10: Your spy will be in the cabinet suspended about the
Speaker 10: stage at the Definshop Theater.
Speaker 8: At nine o'clock this evening.
Speaker 10: But this time we will watch the performance from the audience.
Speaker 12: Now watch me closely, ladies and gentlemen, there is no
Speaker 12: deception one A.
Speaker 8: Two A three.
Speaker 2: And now if you two.
Speaker 12: Gentlemen will currently help me, we will untie the ropes
Speaker 12: and lower the ceiling cabinet to the stage homes.
Speaker 4: We must never get away.
Speaker 10: Goody o jab keep your eyes skin. You're gonna have
Speaker 10: us prized for us.
Speaker 12: And I will now ask one of you, too, gentlemen,
Speaker 12: to unbolt the cabinet.
Speaker 7: I thank you, sir.
Speaker 12: And now if this gentleman will take the key and
Speaker 12: unlock the padlock, I thank you sir. And now if
Speaker 12: you will both raise the lid of the cabinet, I
Speaker 12: thank you.
Speaker 2: Any ladies and gentlemen, is missus Florie Lasser.
Speaker 7: Mister Sewer step out, please, mister Sewer.
Speaker 9: Come on watch just get him on the stage, bans
Speaker 9: your home. That's what happens here.
Speaker 4: You just missed the store.
Speaker 7: She's been injured.
Speaker 4: I'm a doctor. Let me look at.
Speaker 10: Her, and I'm afraid she's beyond the help of doctors Watson.
Speaker 8: Look at that bullet wound in my head. She's been murdered.
Speaker 1: We'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
Speaker 1: a few seconds, So I'm just gonna make a very
Speaker 1: quick suggestion. If you like good food, who doesn't, You'll
Speaker 1: find that good food always tastes better when accompanied by
Speaker 1: a good glass of Petree wine.
Speaker 2: And Petrie makes wonderful meal time wines.
Speaker 1: If you like a red wine, you know, to go
Speaker 1: with any meat or meat dish, you really like Petrie
Speaker 1: California Burgundy. And if you prefer a white wine to
Speaker 1: go with chicken or fish, you couldn't ask for a
Speaker 1: better one than Petrie California's Turn. Remember those two wines, huh,
Speaker 1: Patry Burgundy and Petrie so Turned. They're Petrie wines, so
Speaker 1: you know they're good. And now back to doctor Watson
Speaker 1: and tonight's new Showrock Holmes Adventure, A Great Gandolpho.
Speaker 2: What happened next?
Speaker 5: Doctor?
Speaker 1: You just got to the part where you and Sherwock
Speaker 1: Holmes on the stage of a vaudeville theater were examining
Speaker 1: the dead body of one of the Great Gandolfo's assistants.
Speaker 5: You can imagine the excitements and tense the local police
Speaker 5: as soon as the theater and the obsten in charge
Speaker 5: of certain sergeant Buff see you take a very great
Speaker 5: personal slike to show up home.
Speaker 10: The great Sherlock Holmes comes out of retirement to teach
Speaker 10: our police force how to end the case started buff
Speaker 10: You're being ridiculous. I'm not trying to teach the police anything.
Speaker 10: You follow your own line of investigation and I'll follow mine.
Speaker 10: And supposing I say I don't want private detectives poking
Speaker 10: their nose into a police investigation, my good man, I
Speaker 10: shall report your conduct to the local chief of police
Speaker 10: and obtain the necessary permissioner.
Speaker 8: No need to get up to you about it, mister Owenes.
Speaker 10: But too many cooks spoil the bras you.
Speaker 8: Know of an extremely profound remark science.
Speaker 10: And now, if you will excuse me, I've work to do,
Speaker 10: and so have I and we'll see who gets to
Speaker 10: the bottom of this. First, I'm going to condolen post room.
Speaker 4: I'm worry about the dead girls. To insist he be
Speaker 4: looking for everywhere, no one seems to see her since
Speaker 4: the tragedy.
Speaker 10: Occurs, My dear Jaf, you would hardly expect her to
Speaker 10: reveal the secret of the cabinet trick by exposing the.
Speaker 8: Fact that the dead girl had a twin.
Speaker 5: But we saw there on the stage when the trick started.
Speaker 5: Seems to me that she is in great danger.
Speaker 10: She is in very great danger. I don't worry. I've
Speaker 10: taken the precaution of having her guarded. Oh, I'll explain
Speaker 10: that to you later. In the meantime, we have to
Speaker 10: work fast. It appears that Sergeant buff is out to
Speaker 10: try and show me up by solving the case first.
Speaker 10: That makes the second challenge I perceived today. Well, mister
Speaker 10: Elms and how are you getting alarm rended? Bit? Thanks
Speaker 10: and you beaten. I don't mind admitting it, I thort
Speaker 10: at first. One man it couldn't be was Gondarful because
Speaker 10: he was on the stage all the time. But then
Speaker 10: it seemed to me that he might have fired a
Speaker 10: live bullet when he shot at the box on the ceiling.
Speaker 5: The angle from the stage wouldn't go inside of a
Speaker 5: bullet hole in the bottom of the box.
Speaker 4: Sergeant, that shot must have been fired from the audience below.
Speaker 10: Uh, mister Orange, you know who did it, don't you? Yes,
Speaker 10: Sergeant I do. I wish you'd tell me, mister Olmes,
Speaker 10: it should be obvious. Sergeant, what can you examine the corpse?
Speaker 10: Please tell the sergeant your findings.
Speaker 5: The girl was lying on her back in the box.
Speaker 5: There was a small hole in the forehead and a
Speaker 5: large one in the nape.
Speaker 4: Of her neck.
Speaker 8: Exactly.
Speaker 10: And since the point of entrance of a bullet is
Speaker 10: smaller than the point of exits, it proves that you
Speaker 10: must have been shot lying in the box from above
Speaker 10: once the box was in position over the audience, and
Speaker 10: she could have been shot only from below, or.
Speaker 8: The girl had already been killed when the box was
Speaker 8: hoisted to the ceiling.
Speaker 4: Jo.
Speaker 8: Yes, and only one person produmber, only two? How do
Speaker 8: you figure that out?
Speaker 10: Mister und The dead girl's sister had the same opportunity
Speaker 10: as the Great Gandolfo himself.
Speaker 4: Of course he had.
Speaker 10: Now I see why you were having a watched, mister Es.
Speaker 10: If you'll excuse me, James Joser and begin to think
Speaker 10: it's a good thing you're on this case after that's
Speaker 10: very generous.
Speaker 4: A you started.
Speaker 10: And now perhaps if you will do me the favor
Speaker 10: of keeping an eye on mister Gandolfo yourself.
Speaker 8: Of course I will, Sir.
Speaker 10: Where are we going home to the Jolly Fisherman Hotel
Speaker 10: to call on miss lasour?
Speaker 4: How do you know she's here?
Speaker 10: I just received a message from young Travers. He followed
Speaker 10: her on my instructions as she left the theater. Come on,
Speaker 10: old there's no time to be lost.
Speaker 8: Ah, there you are, Trevor. Is Miss Lastsur is still here?
Speaker 2: I trust yes, mister Holmes, he's up in her room.
Speaker 10: I wonder if you'd mind asking her to come down
Speaker 10: and see me. I'm sure that we can talk privately
Speaker 10: in lounge over there, But.
Speaker 2: You are, mister Holmes, I'll go and get her.
Speaker 4: What are you going to say to mister sir Holmes?
Speaker 10: That depends on her attitude, Old Chap, come on, let's
Speaker 10: go into the lounge.
Speaker 4: Joey, it's the lucky thing that you heard her followed.
Speaker 10: It was an obvious precaution, Watson. You see, I realized
Speaker 10: from the very nature of the cabinet trick that miss
Speaker 10: Las Sir would have to leave the theater after escaping
Speaker 10: through the trap door below the cabinet. That was on
Speaker 10: the stage before her twin sister descended from the cabinet
Speaker 10: that was suspended from the ceiling. And she doesn't know
Speaker 10: her sister has been murdered her if she is innocent,
Speaker 10: she doesn't. And if she is innocent, then we'll know
Speaker 10: that our murderer is Gamdalfo.
Speaker 8: This comes up.
Speaker 2: I've told mister sure that you want to talk to
Speaker 2: a pride in, mister.
Speaker 11: Holmes, she didn't fact you want to talk about, mister Holmes,
Speaker 11: I had nothing to say.
Speaker 14: Magicians have a code of honor.
Speaker 8: You know I quite appreciate that fact, Miss La, Sir,
Speaker 8: won't you sit down?
Speaker 2: What do you want with me?
Speaker 8: I have news for you, news of your twin sister, myke.
Speaker 14: I haven't got her twin sister.
Speaker 4: My friend knows exactly how the cabinet trick is done,
Speaker 4: my young lily.
Speaker 2: Yes, you might as well tell the truth, mister sir.
Speaker 14: Well, all right then, so I have a true sister.
Speaker 2: What of it?
Speaker 14: Nor prime in?
Speaker 1: That is there?
Speaker 14: What you're getting at?
Speaker 10: I want you to believe that I'm here to help
Speaker 10: my dear. You are going to need help and courage.
Speaker 14: What are you getting at?
Speaker 10: Come on, tell me, I'm started to be the bearer
Speaker 10: of the news. Miss Lasseur, your sister is.
Speaker 2: Dead dead humph, I don't believe it.
