Speaker 1: And mister Harris, to our story the Keys to the
Speaker 1: Missing Heiress. Put your boots on the fender and.
Speaker 2: Make yourself comfortable.
Speaker 1: A perfect combination of crackling fire to warm one's feet
Speaker 1: and the hair raising adventure to chill one's spine. It
Speaker 1: sounds rather like like one of those confounded hot and
Speaker 1: cold shabats that are the curse of this modern age.
Speaker 1: Now in the good old data see days, and one
Speaker 1: made one's daily abditions in a chin tub that was
Speaker 1: still from a pair of steaming jugs. One got in
Speaker 1: and out as fast as possible to prevent freezing to death.
Speaker 1: Day doctor, was only in the winter time, mister Harri,
Speaker 1: It's only in the winter. I remember one bright July
Speaker 1: afternoon in the little Sea. Well, in other mind, it
Speaker 1: was before you were out of your cradle. I was
Speaker 1: pressing about in my morning tub.
Speaker 2: I thought you said it was afternoon.
Speaker 1: When one shared lodgings and adventures with the great Sherlock Holmes,
Speaker 1: one frequently took one's mourning tub in the afternoon or evening. Well, well,
Speaker 1: who I was splashing around in your morning tub in
Speaker 1: mid afternoons? Oh, yes, yes, as a mental accuracy, I
Speaker 1: was judging in the so from the back of the
Speaker 1: ears and giving a not inspired rendition of the current
Speaker 1: comic opera hits when Holmes.
Speaker 2: Burst in rather uncrem earlier.
Speaker 1: Wandering in sur a shreds and packs fig hots and
Speaker 1: stopped that cattle warning and sow on a dressing gown.
Speaker 1: We're about to have a collar and I'm sure it
Speaker 1: means another case, and why I should get into that, Feba.
Speaker 1: You're quite capable of handing the pastages of a case
Speaker 1: by your cell phone, not when it concerns a lady
Speaker 1: in hysterics in a court train. You're much better than
Speaker 1: I ad managing female education. Holmes, what are you roading about?
Speaker 1: An elegant carriage has just galloped up to our curdstone,
Speaker 1: and without waiting for the footman to alight from the
Speaker 1: box and assist her, a middle aged creature in full
Speaker 1: court rugalia compete to the fellers in her hair, burst
Speaker 1: out into the street and is even now pulling our
Speaker 1: front doorbell out by the roof. So lord Ah, missus
Speaker 1: Hudson's better in she's coming up the stairs. Now you've
Speaker 1: come out and protect me certainly enough, very well, then
Speaker 1: I should be obliged to usher her in here griecot
Speaker 1: me then coming and coming, good lad, look at me,
Speaker 1: and I'm way to greet a lady.
Speaker 2: Don't worry. That's I'm greatly mistaken. She's to affect the notice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: tie the cord around your middle. Oh yeah, and you
Speaker 2: put your stippers on the wrong.
Speaker 1: Feet and found it.
Speaker 3: In mister home.
Speaker 4: Thank hesn't I find you at home? Lady Loon Watson
Speaker 4: delighted to see you? Could you give me a lack
Speaker 4: of sheriff?
Speaker 3: This is terrible. I'm ruin and the poor John the hone.
Speaker 3: You must find her, You must.
Speaker 2: Of course, lady Maynooth.
Speaker 1: But first, perhaps you'd better tell us the name of
Speaker 1: this damsel in distress and inform us just what difficulty
Speaker 1: she seems to be in justice.
Speaker 3: I haven't the remotest idea. I don't mean I don't
Speaker 3: know her name. It's Elizabeth, Elizabeth.
Speaker 1: Missus Lizabeth can learned, the child of health fire. That's
Speaker 1: from the Canadian copper.
Speaker 3: That's right, doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: Oh, quite the better the season I gather.
Speaker 4: Yes, Elizabeth has certainly been popular, not what it's made
Speaker 4: the slightest impression on her?
Speaker 1: Yes, perhaps that explains her popularity, that and her father's millions.
Speaker 1: But why are you so concerned about miss Elizabeth Bascom,
Speaker 1: Lady Maywood.
Speaker 4: It's been nice responsibility to sam for the young lady
Speaker 4: through her first London season, to see that she makes
Speaker 4: the proper social connections, and while her father is bound
Speaker 4: and determined that she shall marry into a nobility.
Speaker 1: I had no idea that George Bascombe, more often referred
Speaker 1: to as hell Fire, was one of your acquaintances, Lady maynoeld.
Speaker 4: To be quite frank, mister Holmes, I've never set eyes
Speaker 4: on elizabeth father, but a well a mutual friend, knowing
Speaker 4: that he was anxious to have her received in the
Speaker 4: best circles, and also knowing that my own financial position
Speaker 4: has not been too secure lately. While I was shall
Speaker 4: we say, persuaded to take a lita that under my wing.
Speaker 2: I hope he made a profitable arrangement.
Speaker 3: I did, mister Holmes. But I've earned it every penny
Speaker 3: you you mean, the.
Speaker 1: Young lady is and COO's in spite of her good looks.
Speaker 3: Oh no, doctor Watson.
Speaker 4: The truth forces me to admit that Elizabeth is really
Speaker 4: quite presentable, and even not at all when not cross.
Speaker 1: But when she is cross, she takes after her father
Speaker 1: exactly she ins.
Speaker 4: So, going for solitary walks completely unchaperoned, she strikes up
Speaker 4: an acquaintance with the.
Speaker 1: Most unlikely peace at homes. It might be considered democratic
Speaker 1: in an ordinary female, but where a young woman of
Speaker 1: miss Bascombe's wealth is concerned, it's rather dangerous.
Speaker 4: How true we've been receiving will not exactly threats, but
Speaker 4: certainly crank letters ever since it became known that Elizabeth
Speaker 4: had come to stay with me.
Speaker 3: But she absolutely refuses to pay heed to her own danger.
Speaker 4: That she's been handling situations with that thought all her life,
Speaker 4: and she refuses to come perturbed about it at this
Speaker 4: late date.
Speaker 3: And now it happened.
Speaker 4: What else where I found a little afraid of her
Speaker 4: to take an interest in young nor weave a book
Speaker 4: a very stutical match in every way. That her father
Speaker 4: is arriving on the next boat in order to announce
Speaker 4: the engagement.
Speaker 1: Well, surely that's nothing to be upset now, yes, but
Speaker 1: what is.
Speaker 3: He going to do when he finds his daughter has
Speaker 3: been abducted?
Speaker 2: Abducted? Forcibly?
Speaker 4: This note was turned to the carriage seat when I
Speaker 4: returned and found Elizabeth gone.
Speaker 1: I gather from your costume, Lady may Loose, that you
Speaker 1: were on your way to Buckingham Palace.
Speaker 3: Yes, mister Holmes.
Speaker 4: After considerable maneuvering, I had arranged to have Miss Bascombe
Speaker 4: received at court. A bit of doing, and I'll admit
Speaker 4: I accepted trouble with Elizabeth. However, she fell in with
Speaker 4: the plan with quite a sure alacrity, even standing patiently
Speaker 4: for endless sticking of her train and taking lessons in
Speaker 4: how to make a course down.
Speaker 1: I've often wondered how one managed it, Rock Watson, a
Speaker 1: grand lady may news today.
Speaker 2: I take it was to day, yes, and.
Speaker 3: More perfect weather one couldn't have wished for. And I
Speaker 3: won't say Elizabeth seemed to be in high schoolit.
Speaker 4: We were well prepared with the usual hamper of wine
Speaker 4: and sandwiches and cakes. You know that interminable waitings and
Speaker 4: changes park.
Speaker 1: I've thought often that the set of the ladies in
Speaker 1: there full regalia on the way to a course punction
Speaker 1: is one.
Speaker 2: Of the great sides of London.
Speaker 4: Elizabeth seemed to share your opinion, Dr Watson. At anyway,
Speaker 4: she seemed an unusually high speed as the other carriages
Speaker 4: crowded around us.
Speaker 3: What fun, lady may news is.
Speaker 4: Even more exciting that I regard all the street additions
Speaker 4: and the clouds Patty on the stod, I walk as
Speaker 4: if it were a parade.
Speaker 3: All waving and steering and calling to work. Give up
Speaker 3: this idea, run way. That's a little sorry. Now have
Speaker 3: your flowers and a macking idea. But so is because
Speaker 3: a rather look, let me it's done hot. Your mother
Speaker 3: smiled at you.
Speaker 4: Don't encourage them, the boy shouldn't I smile. I'm so happy,
Speaker 4: show yourself and have a moment gap and we'll be
Speaker 4: inside the gates by the crowd car follower.
Speaker 3: Oh so we're nearly there. He No, he changes even
Speaker 3: if you're in the cord job. Yeah, he goes. Now,
Speaker 3: let's see what's not duncan hanter. I didn't mave. I'm
Speaker 3: hot starle No, no, let's wait, I'm still sore, exlayed.
Speaker 4: Oh baby, look who's that handsome man walking among the
Speaker 4: carriages and sticking his head into some of them?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: See it? I wish he wouldn't. His mother would be
Speaker 3: still put out if she knew he were out here.
Speaker 3: He will do it all the boys, I say, it's
Speaker 3: much more fun than he gets in aside, you may
Speaker 3: knew he's coming this way. Oh he's going to stop.
Speaker 1: Well, so this is the carriage that has been causing
Speaker 1: all the commotions. No wonder, hello there, hellow yourself. Well
Speaker 1: that's refreshing. So this is the beautiful Lizzie who has
Speaker 1: set the town on its ears. Oh, lady Minute, I
Speaker 1: didn't notice you at first. You wouldn't buy any chance
Speaker 1: to have some smelling salts.
Speaker 2: The dowager Duchess of Kiel seemed rather wonky as I
Speaker 2: passed the baruche.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you'd come and take a look at him.
Speaker 4: Certainly, let's see where I don't put the smelling saw
Speaker 4: in your reaticue, Lady Maymoe, I'll do out that. Oh
Speaker 4: and Elizabeth, yeah, lady minnue. If that gentleman should return,
Speaker 4: I'm sure you addressed him as your highness, And that's
Speaker 4: mister Holmes.
Speaker 3: Was the last I saw Elizabeth. She was abducted.
Speaker 4: Abducted in broad daylight, right there in the court lad
Speaker 4: of Suckingham Palace.
Speaker 1: You don't think it was done by a princes of
Speaker 1: blood or oils. They've been known to pull some rather
Speaker 1: spectacular plants.
Speaker 4: No member of the House of Hanover, Dr Watson will
Speaker 4: write this note. It was thin to the cushions of
Speaker 4: the seat directly behind the box.
Speaker 2: May I see, Lady Maynwost, mister Holmes.
Speaker 1: Yes, the whole affair was un doubted, it planned in advance,
Speaker 1: or what makes us they're at homes. The words are
Speaker 1: printed in ink, large bold lettering, and the paper has
Speaker 1: been folded. Furthermore, there's a rather carefully executed dusky palm
Speaker 1: print in the law left hand corner the what is
Speaker 1: the message?
Speaker 2: What does the note say? The words of communication of
Speaker 2: this sord are always the least.
Speaker 1: Enlightening part of your pistol, Watson, But do just to
Speaker 1: satisfy your curiosity.
Speaker 2: I'll read them to you. Y's right.
Speaker 1: We have kidnapped Lizzie. If you know what good for her,
Speaker 1: don't tell the cops signed the back hand. Then the
Speaker 1: American cutloads the words kidnapped and the cops or dead giveaway.
Speaker 1: I've heard of these black hand gangs, Paul Lizzy. Men
Speaker 1: like that are desperate characters. We can only help the
Speaker 1: popular arrive in time to Peney, who are ransom denound.
Speaker 1: We may be dealing with a band of cutthroats and desperadoes.
Speaker 1: But let's not jump to any conclusions, watsman, who we've
Speaker 1: examined the scene of the crime. What do you mean
Speaker 1: you expect to find clues in all that turmoil in
Speaker 1: the courtyard of Buckingham Palace. No, Watson, the scene of
Speaker 1: the crime is much closer than that. It is, in
Speaker 1: fact drawn up to our curb. I lude, of course too,
Speaker 1: Lady Mayne's carriage. Oh, I see what you mean. I
Speaker 1: hadn't thought of that.
Speaker 2: Oh, come along, what are we waiting for for you
Speaker 2: to go and finish stressing? Watson? Oh jard easy, handsome
Speaker 2: horses you have lady, Thank you.
Speaker 4: And this is Horrace, mister Holmes. Horace has been our
Speaker 4: footman for over fifty years, man and.
Speaker 1: Boy, and that's the truth recorded the crowd of Horrace
Speaker 1: in these couple of times.
Speaker 3: He did it to death, mister Holmes eighty day.
Speaker 1: I said, you have a fine record, Horace, Hey, I have.
Speaker 3: It if you know, please Horror And mister Holmes has
Speaker 3: a detected he's like to inspect the carriage.
Speaker 2: I know who mister Holmes is. Mum.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows mister Sherlock Holmes, Horace, when did you first
Speaker 1: become aware that miss Bascombe was not in the carriage?
Speaker 1: When a ladyship comes back and found your note? You
Speaker 1: didn't see or hear anything unusual before that, did not, Nyery,
Speaker 1: He's our coachman, you know, had gone after help Lord
Speaker 1: Frensy's man who was having trouble with his arses and
Speaker 1: I had the answer holding oars, but I handled them.
Speaker 2: Third for Horris and Horace.
Speaker 1: Divide which I'm a bit deaf. Nothing she could notice,
Speaker 1: but it keeps me from earing things.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid Hollis has but a broken reed in this affair.
Speaker 2: I said, thank you, Horace.
Speaker 1: Well, let's have a look inside the carriage. Keep me
Speaker 1: my magnifying glass. Watson, Yes, interesting, very interesting what you found?
Speaker 1: Hose blood stains.
Speaker 2: On the contrary, there's not the slightest indication of a struggle.
Speaker 1: Either Miss Bascombe left the carriage of her own free
Speaker 1: will or she was lured out of it by someone
Speaker 1: she considered a friend. Very significant, very significant, Hose, but
Speaker 1: were hardly helpful.
Speaker 2: Yes, here is her parasol neatly filled.
Speaker 1: Surely have she been attacked, she'd have attempted to use
Speaker 1: it as a weapon, and the luncheon hamper, neatly placed
Speaker 1: in the corner, opened up the lid.
Speaker 2: Watson, very well, Hello, what's up?
Speaker 1: This is inventry, not using a crumb list.
Speaker 2: The gods.
Speaker 3: They not only abducted my work, they stole my lunch
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 4: What Theron's cake hadn't even been coming to the scoundrels?
Speaker 1: Oh no, a famale roads on a blank No clues,
Speaker 1: no clues at all.
Speaker 2: Not so fast, Watson.
Speaker 1: Here is a long thread of Heavy's silk lady manhood
Speaker 1: as miss Bizzy by any chance of garment, with a
Speaker 1: blue fringe in her wardrobe, yes.
Speaker 4: Of course, and the tellerine that goes over a few
Speaker 4: stalking suits.
Speaker 3: But what has that to do with the chase?
Speaker 4: She was wearing full court for Daniel when she was abducted.
Speaker 2: That's what mass her preposters.
Speaker 1: Really, you know, you couldn't possibly kidnap a lady in
Speaker 1: a cord costume.
Speaker 2: Hello, here's something in the side pocket of the hamper.
Speaker 4: Why that's Elizabeth jandicut her guide book. She was always
Speaker 4: speaking off by herself with that under her arm. From
Speaker 4: the number of times it happened, she must have visited
Speaker 4: all the sights of London.
Speaker 2: Not all, Lady Manuth.
Speaker 1: I fancy miss Elizabeth rather specialized in the British Museum.
Speaker 3: How do you arrive at that conclusion?
Speaker 1: The rest of the volume is rather stiff, showing very
Speaker 1: few of the pages have been read. But notice how
Speaker 1: readily the book opens at the portion describing Theritish Museum,
Speaker 1: and here the paragraphs describing the famous Elgin Marbles.
Speaker 2: That page has decided to dog here.
Speaker 4: Then I had no idea Elizabeth was a connoisseur of art.
Speaker 1: I fancy Miss Elizabeth as a connoisseur of many things
Speaker 1: at which you had no idea.
Speaker 3: Laveen, you know what do we do now? I supposed
Speaker 3: that it consult properly.
Speaker 2: Yard, I rather fancy.
Speaker 1: But a certain mister Percy Smithers will prove more helpful
Speaker 1: in this matter. I suggested Batson and ipaim and.
Speaker 2: Visit Percy Smithers, who will vandle is.
Speaker 1: He the famous archeologist and authority on Greek and Roman relics.
Speaker 1: He is also curator of the Elgin Marbles. Hewey are
Speaker 1: Watson the British Museum, imposing it's somewhat mafet noo mosse
Speaker 1: or you need and pointed out to me as if
Speaker 1: I've never laid eyes on it before. I had an
Speaker 1: uncle whose idea of entertaining his various visiting nephews is
Speaker 1: to kill them.
Speaker 2: To the British Museum.
Speaker 1: And you, of course, have never been guilty of escorting
Speaker 1: your juvenile relatives through its echoing hall. Well, that is
Speaker 1: one must keep up the traditions, you know.
Speaker 2: Never mind open the door, I can't it, it's.
Speaker 1: Stun well, never mind where comes in attendant?
Speaker 2: Ah, thank god?
Speaker 1: The inside seems to me are a big bulkley. We
Speaker 1: can't get it open. Don't know war would be locked
Speaker 1: up for the night, clothes and Tom was twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I guess we won't get to see the marbles today
Speaker 1: at homes. I'm not particularly interested in the marbles, Watson, God,
Speaker 1: can you tell me if mister Smithers, Sureka, Percy Smithers
Speaker 1: is still on the premises.
Speaker 2: Oh now he's gone home. You saw him leave. He
Speaker 2: always leaves five minutes before closing time. I don't suppose
Speaker 2: you can give us his home address. I do better
Speaker 2: than that. They over there first house across the quadrangle,
Speaker 2: the one with the bay window. That's right, thank you,
Speaker 2: Come along, Watson.
Speaker 1: Do you know this fellow Smithers homes only sprightly, Watson.
Speaker 1: I've met him at the Diogenes Club from time to
Speaker 1: time when I've gone there to see my brother Micraft.
Speaker 2: Like all the rest of the members, he's what you might.
Speaker 1: Call taciturn the drug will professor, I got the saurial
Speaker 1: and grumpy, I grant you, But he's certainly not old.
Speaker 1: In fact, mister Percy Smithers looks not unlike the Greek statues.
Speaker 2: He's such an authority on only with more clothing.
Speaker 1: Of course, as I can remember that there were many
Speaker 1: elderly ladies who got a petition demanding draperies to put
Speaker 1: on the marbles when they first spent on exhibition.
Speaker 2: I of course consider them perfect as they are. Then
Speaker 2: you'll see the Elgin marbles.
Speaker 1: And many times you recall the statue of Persius perfectly.
Speaker 1: Could you describe his attitude?
Speaker 2: I can do better than that. I can duplicate it.
Speaker 2: He's uh, he's standing like.
Speaker 1: This, not bad except the positions that the left and
Speaker 1: right arm should be reversed.
Speaker 2: As your frame took a fit.
Speaker 1: I was just I was just explaining something and stopped
Speaker 1: following us.
Speaker 2: I wasn't following, said, was just going on and may
Speaker 2: suffer fucin.
Speaker 1: You recall the face, Watson, of the precious statue, I mean,
Speaker 1: or naturally, how would you describe the nose?
Speaker 2: Well, that is a grucial And of course.
Speaker 1: Run again, Watson, that particular statue has no nose at all.
Speaker 2: It's probably been missing for centuries. But but here we
Speaker 2: are to mister Smithers's door. Bring the bill, Watson. That's
Speaker 2: good fella, who was giving orders?
Speaker 1: Now? I soon don't understand what information you expect to
Speaker 1: gather from the curator of the British Museum about a
Speaker 1: missing Canadian heiress.
Speaker 2: You never know, Watson, you never know.
Speaker 3: Yes, what do you want?
Speaker 1: We've come to see mister Smithers, mister Percys.
Speaker 2: Smithers where you can't see him. I'm sorry to disturb
Speaker 2: him if he's having his supper. But this matter is
Speaker 2: Robert Agent.
Speaker 4: You can't see indicarse he's not come home. And as
Speaker 4: for his supper, it then burnt or Crest there waiting
Speaker 4: for him, and I find trout it was too that
Speaker 4: he ordered special.
Speaker 2: What a pity.
Speaker 1: Perhaps you could tell me if a young lady in
Speaker 1: a blue and puse walking suit has called on mister Smithers.
Speaker 3: Lately, certainly not.
Speaker 4: Mister Smithers is a respectable man and a nominator.
Speaker 1: Besides, once again we draw a blank this case. Hems
Speaker 1: to ned nowhere, But Darren blind alleys on the contrary, Watson,
Speaker 1: the fact that mister Smithers did not come home for
Speaker 1: his supper is decidedly revealing. You don't think he's been
Speaker 1: forcibly kidnapped too, by the same outipit of that in
Speaker 1: this baskeom No, I don't think there are any indications
Speaker 1: of the kidnapping, at least I doubt that any force
Speaker 1: was used.
Speaker 2: Of course, how stupid.
Speaker 1: As ben missus Smiller's in his bascom have a note, Watson,
Speaker 1: the incurable romanticist whoa no ardson a woman hater myself accepted,
Speaker 1: of course, might conceivably change his mind. But no ardent
Speaker 1: lover would order klout a single clout for supper on
Speaker 1: the day on which he expected.
Speaker 2: To run off with his innamorata.
Speaker 1: Whether of all that give us whatever detained. Percival Smithers
Speaker 1: was unexpected, entirely unexpected. Come let's go home, before our
Speaker 1: supper has been burned to a crystal Holmes, how can
Speaker 1: you think of food when you haven't rescued? Missus Bascroom
Speaker 1: from Heaven knows only what danger.
Speaker 2: Whatever dangerous visit is in. I rather imagine she enjoys. Yes,
Speaker 2: there's nothing further we can do until tomorrow at eight thirty.
Speaker 1: Why age thirty? That is the time they unbar the
Speaker 1: entrance to the museum. Yes, we shall be waiting at
Speaker 1: eight twenty two. When you note the low prices of
Speaker 1: clipper Craft clothes, you have to be puzzled.
Speaker 2: How do they do it?
Speaker 1: You'll say, Well, the solution's no mystery at all once
Speaker 1: you know the facts. What makes them great values is
Speaker 1: the clipper Craft plan, concentrating the buying power of nine
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four leading stores across the nation. Yes,
Speaker 1: remember that you buy these famous clothes at your local, favorite,
Speaker 1: local store, where you're treated as a person, not just
Speaker 1: as another number on a sales check. These days, practically
Speaker 1: everything you buy costs more, but not so with Clippercraft.
Speaker 1: You can select your fall clipper Craft suit at only
Speaker 1: thirty five and forty dollars, with a few special numbers
Speaker 1: at forty three seventy five clipper Craft top coats and overcoats.
Speaker 1: Two are only thirty to forty dollars sport jackets, but
Speaker 1: twenty four dollars. Selling expensive clothes that inexpensive prices at
Speaker 1: the nation's finest independence stores is the great, big idea
Speaker 1: behind the clipper Craft plan. That's why men who know
Speaker 1: insist on clipper Craft clothes. So I'll be sure to
Speaker 1: visit the clipper Craft store in your city. And remember
Speaker 1: that's one of the nine hundred twenty four leading retail
Speaker 1: stores across the nation where courtesy and friendly service are
Speaker 1: always yours, the store that is proud to add its
Speaker 1: fine name to that of clipper Craft Clothes in the
Speaker 1: label of your suit, top coat, sport jacket and overcoat.
Speaker 1: And remember also, not every pattern is always available in
Speaker 1: your size, but keep on trying. It will pay you
Speaker 1: to wait for clipper Craft clothes. Oh it's age twenty five.
Speaker 1: Home another fiveness and little nerve.
Speaker 2: Your guess is right. I never gets Watson, I say,
Speaker 2: isn't that leaving.
Speaker 1: In his carriage coming down the street at the pool gallop? Yes,
Speaker 1: missus Hudson Mastota, she'd find us here, Yes, here she
Speaker 1: comes like a s up under full sale.
Speaker 2: Let's say, who's your red faced little man with her?
Speaker 2: I rather imagine Papa Bascom has a right the dead,
Speaker 2: blessed dead burn uhle.
Speaker 1: So so your shower holes, fine blazers, haven't you found
Speaker 1: my daughter?
Speaker 2: I was right, Watson, it is hell fire Bascombe. How
Speaker 2: do you do? So? Good morning lady men.
Speaker 4: The most horrible news, the most horrible horrible news.
Speaker 2: I haven't found a body. No.
Speaker 4: But first of all, when I returned home last evening,
Speaker 4: my butter he fold me it was all the sandwiches,
Speaker 4: rye and the cake had been found in the of
Speaker 4: my death, Asteriska.
Speaker 3: How did she stutters to leave?
Speaker 1: Yes, I rather suspected that hamper held something more interesting
Speaker 1: than food when I found that blue thread.
Speaker 2: In the west this.
Speaker 4: Morning, before I even had time to have my morning tea.
Speaker 4: Lord Brunton's man returned and is caught.
Speaker 3: They've been found in his carriage.
Speaker 2: Why are the scoundrel Oh?
Speaker 3: Wait one minute, at the time he was still a
Speaker 3: the reception when coachman.
Speaker 1: This makes men even worse. The poor girl was abducted
Speaker 1: in her.
Speaker 3: Proper girl reputation.
Speaker 1: Bless to reputation, ma'am. Shall catch her difficult.
Speaker 2: Calm yourself, mister Bascom.
Speaker 1: I think I may be able to return your daughter
Speaker 1: with both her health and her reputation moderately in text.
Speaker 2: Yes, they're opening the doors now, if you will follow.
Speaker 1: Me in the British Museum.
Speaker 2: Calm yourself.
Speaker 1: A little culture is quite harmless, I assure you, Ah,
Speaker 1: our friend the God, I believe you're about to unlock
Speaker 1: the hall of the Elgin Marbles.
Speaker 2: Mind if we watch now, not if it will give
Speaker 2: you any amusement.
Speaker 1: I've been unlocking the eight years now and it's never
Speaker 1: what's been what you might call fascinated.
Speaker 2: Today, I think you may be in for surprise now
Speaker 2: fans believe it.
Speaker 1: Well, it's the both time.
Speaker 2: Where's ever were you last night? Since we heard the shouting?
Speaker 1: Mister Smithers, You'll be locked in with the marble women
Speaker 1: all night and run that wasn't marble lizzyldy, what thunder
Speaker 1: are you doing here?
Speaker 2: Yes? And wearing the puws and blue walking suit.
Speaker 3: Papa, Well, what do you know, Papa?
Speaker 4: I want you to meet mister Percy Smithers, the famous
Speaker 4: scientist and your futures son in law.
Speaker 1: I'm just scientist. I wouldn't let you marry a scientist
Speaker 1: if you were the last man on earth who've been
Speaker 1: not up.
Speaker 3: Together all night.
Speaker 4: Speak of my reputation, your scoll.
Speaker 1: Your planned hollis you lured my innocent little girl into
Speaker 1: the fact.
Speaker 2: Oh, father, don't be silly. I was the one that's
