Speaker 1: Cremel Hair Tonic and Cremel Shampoo presents The New Adventures
Speaker 1: of Sherlock Holmes, starring Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson and
Speaker 1: Tom Conway at Sherlock Holmes. Oh here we are once
Speaker 1: more in Doctor Watson's study. Maybe we're not glad to
Speaker 1: get here. We hadn't had a Sherlock Holmes story waiting
Speaker 1: for us at the other end, we'd have never ventured
Speaker 1: out on a night like this.
Speaker 2: Pretty bad well around and mister it.
Speaker 3: Is Doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: There's a cold wind that chose it as the boone.
Speaker 1: I had one hand holding my coat color and the
Speaker 1: other holding my head.
Speaker 3: All the way over, I felt.
Speaker 1: As though some malignant deity were determined to keep me
Speaker 1: from reaching your door. Hear that wind homes reminds me
Speaker 1: of what I just escaped from.
Speaker 4: Oh it's typical Edinburgh weather, mister Bell, Perhaps you've heard
Speaker 4: that there's no language richer in terms of reproach against
Speaker 4: the howling wind and the Scots darling snow blind nell
Speaker 4: lere scathering to mention just a handful all of them
Speaker 4: words that carry a shiver with him es as Stevenson
Speaker 4: so aptly puts it, Edinburgh pays cruelly for our high
Speaker 4: seat and commanding views in one of the vilest climates
Speaker 4: under heaven. She's liable to be beaten upon by all
Speaker 4: the winds of the blow, to be drenched with rain,
Speaker 4: to be buried in cold sea fogs out of the east,
Speaker 4: and powdered with the snow as it comes flying southward
Speaker 4: from the highland hills. The weather's raw and boisterless in winter,
Speaker 4: shifty and ungenial in summer, and a downright purgatory in
Speaker 4: the spring.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a pretty unattractive place.
Speaker 3: Doctor.
Speaker 2: Well there you are entirely round, mister Bell.
Speaker 4: Nowhere will you find such stark magnificence, such grim beauty. Edinburgh,
Speaker 4: the great granite Sphinx of the North, crouching high on
Speaker 4: a towering rock, looking across the intervening Plains.
Speaker 2: To the waters of the Fourth and to the North Sea.
Speaker 4: Fascinating, regal, splendid and cruel. Yes, I think this is
Speaker 4: just the night to tell the story of the Haunted Bagpipes.
Speaker 4: One of the weirdest and most gruesome adventures at homes.
Speaker 2: Than I ever shared. The setting was Edinburgh and.
Speaker 4: The motivating character Professor Moriarty Professor Moriarty, the man Holmes
Speaker 4: called a Napoleon of crime.
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 1: I wondered when we were going to have another of
Speaker 1: your famous bouts with Professor Moriarty.
Speaker 3: They're always pretty hair raising.
Speaker 4: Yes, and I think I can safely promise you that
Speaker 4: this is the most hair raising of the lot. In fact,
Speaker 4: it's so unbelievdly macabre and gruesome that I've never told
Speaker 4: it to any but to my closest friends, those who
Speaker 4: know that I'm a truthful man.
Speaker 2: In fact, sometimes in the same.
Speaker 4: Light of day, I doubt myself that this adventure really,
Speaker 4: But a night like this brings it all back to
Speaker 4: me in all its horror. Yes, mister Bell, on a
Speaker 4: night like this, we realize that anything is possible.
Speaker 1: Now, Doctor Watson, won't you please go on with the Sorry,
Speaker 1: the shivers run up and down my spine in anticipation.
Speaker 2: Certain it will. As I look back on that particular
Speaker 2: is it to Edinburgh?
Speaker 4: It seems that a cold fear settled into the very
Speaker 4: marrow of my bones from the moment we got off
Speaker 4: the train late one winter afternoon and caught our first
Speaker 4: glimpse of Edinburgh Castle, rising bleak and menacing out of
Speaker 4: a cloud of fog and rain.
Speaker 3: There it is Watson and all its austere majesty Edinburgh Castle.
Speaker 4: Nice, impressive file of stone, nice little grim.
Speaker 5: No grimmer than its history.
Speaker 3: Watson, part castle, part fortress, part prison. Wars have been
Speaker 3: plotted there, Dancing has lasted deep into the night, Murder
Speaker 3: has been done in its chain.
Speaker 4: This is I'm to stand here chatting, let's get out,
Speaker 4: and I.
Speaker 2: Just confind it.
Speaker 5: Read rain, Watson, you are getting soft.
Speaker 3: This isn't rain.
Speaker 5: It's just a good Scotch.
Speaker 4: Missed, missed my grandmother, and I'm soaked to the skin
Speaker 4: and my teeth a chatting my cast iNTS.
Speaker 2: Thank heaven.
Speaker 4: The town has a few mun hotels, nice hot tuddy
Speaker 4: at the Royal.
Speaker 3: Eh. I'm sorry to disappoint you, Watson, but this is
Speaker 3: not a pleasure trip. We must forego the luxuries of
Speaker 3: Princess Street and take up our quarters in the old town,
Speaker 3: the old town homes.
Speaker 4: You mean that we're going to live in one of
Speaker 4: those crumbling graystone houses, all huddled together on the.
Speaker 2: Slope reading up to the castle.
Speaker 3: Exactly why there are nothing but tenements but those lands,
Speaker 3: as they are called, once housed the flower of the
Speaker 3: Scottish nobility. In the old days, this was a walled
Speaker 3: city and space was at a premium. That is why
Speaker 3: those crazy buildings star eight and ten stories.
Speaker 4: Into the earth of the Day's a nobility here over
Speaker 4: those tenements are full of goodness.
Speaker 3: Those what true? What more suitable dwelling place could one
Speaker 3: imagine for our friend, for a Samriati Professor Moriarty. Quite
Speaker 3: you may have noticed, Watson, that London has been singularly
Speaker 3: free from crime during the last few months, and for
Speaker 3: a very good reason. Professor Moriarty was not in residence.
Speaker 4: Oh you mean that you think we've succeeded in driving
Speaker 4: him out.
Speaker 3: No, Watson, let us not underrate the professor. He is
Speaker 3: not in London because he has business elsewhere. But where
Speaker 3: I confess I was in complete ignorance until the day
Speaker 3: before yesterday morning, when I received a telegram informing me
Speaker 3: that one of Moriarty's chief assistants had been seen trowling
Speaker 3: through the graves at Greyfriars. Then I remember that Professor
Speaker 3: Moriarty has a particular reason for hating Edinburgh. He's not
Speaker 3: a man to forget his grudges, Watson. The question is
Speaker 3: shall we be in time to prevent his revenge. But here,
Speaker 3: get into this cab before you catch him.
Speaker 4: William Mariatti in Edinburgh. I thought that the press is
Speaker 4: even more forbidding than usual.
Speaker 3: Okay, let us out in front of Saint Giles.
Speaker 6: Hi, I say, Holmes, Whys and Charles.
Speaker 2: You're not going into sight seeing this Cammonday.
Speaker 3: No, Watson, we must go from there on by Portland Trade.
Speaker 2: Why put you in this, brother? The gut is a
Speaker 2: fairy running with muddy wall.
Speaker 3: No one asked you to walk in the gunners Watson here,
Speaker 3: Gibbi and giants, so it is, Come along, Watson, gracious
Speaker 3: me this rain, I say, kebby, where's Hangman's Lane? From here?
Speaker 2: Lush? You no be going there?
Speaker 5: Why not?
Speaker 3: It's where we hope to spend the night.
Speaker 2: Tis a little chancey spot.
Speaker 4: Gentlemen, you'll never find me going up Hangman's Lane after dark.
Speaker 3: As bad as that I'll stand here arguing with you.
Speaker 4: It's the first lane back of a kirk.
Speaker 5: If you must go, thanks here drink to our health.
Speaker 1: Oho there westan two fine upstanding gentlemen, healed and hearty,
Speaker 1: with the black shadow of.
Speaker 5: Death looking over your sholder.
Speaker 7: Well then I say, I did a warn you come along?
Speaker 7: Beatris hmm, cheerful individual, Holmes, what do you say, Let's
Speaker 7: go back and spend the night with a good tote.
Speaker 4: You can't possibly find any lodging in a place like
Speaker 4: Hangman's Lane.
Speaker 3: But we shall, Watson, we shall. They're expecting us come along.
Speaker 2: What do you mean they're expecting us?
Speaker 3: I mean the owner of most of the tenements in
Speaker 3: Hangman's Lane has arranged that we should be taken care of.
Speaker 3: He is most anxious to have us inspect his property.
Speaker 4: I don't see what that has to do with our
Speaker 4: search for Professor Mariatta.
Speaker 3: Whenever anything curious and inexplicable happens in the professor's neighborhood,
Speaker 3: the chances.
Speaker 5: Are he's mixed up in it.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 3: Yes, Hangmon's Lane, narrow, steep, little by way a Watson.
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
Speaker 3: Home.
Speaker 2: No lights in any of the windows. You see these.
Speaker 4: Tall houses overrun with inhabitants, several flaming families to floor ooklockly.
Speaker 4: The delays in the street look positively deserted.
Speaker 3: They are deserted, Watson. That's the most interesting part of it.
Speaker 3: One particular house hasn't been opened for several hundred years,
Speaker 3: But during the last month the rest of the tenements
Speaker 3: have been vacated too. Their inhabitants have fled from them
Speaker 3: like rats from a sinking ship. The rents have been
Speaker 3: lowered to the vanishing point, and still there are no takers.
Speaker 3: The people hereabouts seem to think the whole street is haunted.
Speaker 4: Could we come up here and look the place over
Speaker 4: In the daytime? Homes look already the lights beginning to fade.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, Watson, the phenomena we're going to investigate occur only
Speaker 3: at night. Ah. Yes, the house are to say. There
Speaker 3: should be a bell somewhere.
Speaker 5: Yes, perhaps there is never one to let us in.
Speaker 3: I think there will be, Watson, Yes, sign here, footsteps,
Speaker 3: we'll be here, mister Holmes and doctor Watson.
Speaker 8: Lord be thank you one moment.
Speaker 5: The please taint go ahead, Watson, good Lord.
Speaker 2: It's dark in here, and.
Speaker 8: If you'll kindly step this way, there's a Probablas abandon
Speaker 8: and kindles are lit in the back parlor. Candy, gentlemen,
Speaker 8: this corridor is nurs as smooth as one said wor
Speaker 8: so I discovered. Yes, they see the place. Please enter.
Speaker 4: Oh well, this is more like you day, Holmes, magnificent
Speaker 4: old rooms.
Speaker 8: Just look at that fireplace, I for one alife bid
Speaker 8: this old horse full of lords and their ladies, they say,
Speaker 8: But here, gentlemen, will you be stunning in front of
Speaker 8: the fire and dry on your breath.
Speaker 3: It's not a bad idea. We're pretty wet, and he
Speaker 3: want's wet.
Speaker 8: There's a branny and a shelley. Y're a watna way
Speaker 8: drop it that taste, a cocolet pie and a pot han. Hey,
Speaker 8: he'll forgive me, I'm and shut my cello ware.
Speaker 3: I'm going so soon, but we've just arrived.
Speaker 8: Oh, mister Holmes, a dear noust stay at her sundown.
Speaker 8: I'm let to let you alone. But a dearns stay,
Speaker 8: but in a fashier style. I'll return them on early.
Speaker 3: But what is there to be afraid of?
Speaker 5: The neighbors neighbors.
Speaker 8: Ye, the neighbors and the old hurly host others side
Speaker 8: of this wall.
Speaker 3: But no one has lived in that house next door
Speaker 3: for you, not humans.
Speaker 8: No, no living man has crossed the door stain this hunderyear.
Speaker 8: But there'll be others. Bogles. You can hear the rattle
Speaker 8: leather gone, and come on every night through the wall.
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard these ghosts or bogels? Is a column?
Speaker 8: No, I certainly have not. I will not stay at
Speaker 8: the shot bon.
Speaker 3: There's not the.
Speaker 8: Worst of it really, the times you can hear the soon,
Speaker 8: the dublin.
Speaker 5: Sound of bagpipes.
Speaker 8: Okay, next when maybe entertain an old horny.
Speaker 3: Yourself, the devil himself. The ghosts next door move in
Speaker 3: very high society. Hey, Watson, was just the wind in
Speaker 3: the chimney you.
Speaker 8: Would have with the devils.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think I'll not be waiting to find it.
Speaker 8: When the scarling begins to say the who said senators
Speaker 8: that could were singing?
Speaker 6: Adult she was fighting?
Speaker 3: I would let chimney would stop moaning those two legends.
Speaker 3: The house next door, the haunted bagpipes, the famous Edinburgh superstitions.
Speaker 3: I'd like to hear more about.
Speaker 2: Well, I've heard more than I want to already found
Speaker 2: that chimney.
Speaker 3: That building next door is one of the so called
Speaker 3: fatal houses. Fatal houses houses marked generations ago by the
Speaker 3: Great plague. Discipline in the time of pestilence was sharp
Speaker 3: and sudden. The houses having the disease were marked by
Speaker 3: large cross. No one dared end or leave, furniture was
Speaker 3: destroyed and houses sealed up. In those houses of which
Speaker 3: one or two still remain, the plague is supposed to
Speaker 3: lie ambushed like a basilisk, ready to escape and spread
Speaker 3: sickness and death through the city once the doors are open.
Speaker 4: Or was that ridiculous homes ridiculous? Germs can't sustain themselves
Speaker 4: like that. Oh, at least we have no medical evidence.
Speaker 4: If they can, she'd gone to hotel.
Speaker 3: The other legend is not quite so gruesome.
Speaker 2: I'm a law to hear.
Speaker 3: It's about a secret passage that is supposed to have
Speaker 3: existed in the time of Mary, Queen of It's Courts,
Speaker 3: between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, which lies at the
Speaker 3: other end of town. About century and a half ago,
Speaker 3: a piper made a bet that he could walk the length.
Speaker 3: He started at the castle, piping merrily. The crowds were
Speaker 3: able to follow him through the streets above. By the
Speaker 3: sound of the scurling everything was going smoothly. They followed
Speaker 3: the sound down from the castle along the top of
Speaker 3: the hill. Just about here the piping stopped suddenly in
Speaker 3: the middle of a note, and that was the last
Speaker 3: that was ever heard.
Speaker 5: Of the piper, noxious gas was poplar.
Speaker 3: Some say the devil was so captivated by his playing
Speaker 3: that he carried him off to hell.
Speaker 4: One of it as long as he stays there and
Speaker 4: doesn't go about waking.
Speaker 2: Up the neighbors.
Speaker 5: But that's just what he has been doing for the
Speaker 5: last month or so.
Speaker 4: Oh nonsense, it's just annoysy chimney like this one.
Speaker 2: Why is a.
Speaker 4: Ghost who's kept quiet for over one hundred years suddenly
Speaker 4: decided to return.
Speaker 2: And annoy people?
Speaker 3: That, my dear Watson, is what I'm anxious to find out?
Speaker 2: Homes homes? Do you hear that?
Speaker 5: By Jove?
Speaker 3: Then it's more than just a superstations homes.
Speaker 4: It's a piper, the devil's bagpiper.
Speaker 2: He's playing in the house next door.
Speaker 3: Splendor.
Speaker 2: For what we'll do?
Speaker 3: Want we to inform the authorities and have them put
Speaker 3: the devil in jail? No, Watson and I have a
Speaker 3: better fan. I suggest we go over and call on
Speaker 3: the old gentleman himself.
Speaker 1: In just a moment, we'll find out what Sherlock Holmes
Speaker 1: discovers in the mysterious house next door. Man, if you're wise,
Speaker 1: you'll start right away and take better care of the
Speaker 1: hair you've got. Remember, handsome, healthy looking hair needs a
Speaker 1: hygienic scalp, So why be content with just any hairdressing
Speaker 1: when you can enjoy the extra advantages of Cremmel hair tonic.
Speaker 1: This highly specialized hair tonic goes in for modern, natural
Speaker 1: looking hair grooming. It keeps hair perfectly groomed all day long,
Speaker 1: looking so neat and attractive, yet never gives hair that cheap, greasy,
Speaker 1: pattern letther look. But Kremmel does lots more than keep
Speaker 1: hair looking handsome. Kremmel is simply great to lubricate a
Speaker 1: dry scalp, and at the same time it removes dandra
Speaker 1: flakes and leaves the scalp feeling so alive and tingling.
Speaker 1: And if your hair breaks off and falls when you
Speaker 1: comb it because it's so dry, use Cremmel, which actually
Speaker 1: helps condition hair in that it leaves it feeling so
Speaker 1: much softer and more pliable. And since Kremmel is never
Speaker 1: sticky or gummy in because it's such a nice, clean product,
Speaker 1: you can use it every day and your hair will
Speaker 1: always look it's very bare. Buy a bottle of Kremmel
Speaker 1: at any drug counter as for an application at your barbershop.
Speaker 3: K R. E. M. L.
Speaker 1: Kremmel hair turning. Now, doctor Watson, what about the ghostly Bagpiper?
Speaker 4: Did homes, fossles, tobo homes and sissifically investigate the house
Speaker 4: next door at once?
Speaker 2: And I must admit that it was with some givings
Speaker 2: I followed him into the street.
Speaker 3: Come along, Watson. Oh, another little bit of local superstition.
Speaker 3: I forgot to mention. They say that the corpses of
Speaker 3: people who died here of the plague will sometimes come
Speaker 3: to life and wonder about the house. Arms.
Speaker 4: We shouldn't talk like this, this sleep cutting into my
Speaker 4: face like a knife.
Speaker 3: Here's the doorway. How to find out if the key
Speaker 3: still works?
Speaker 2: Yes, this looks more like a crowbar than a key.
Speaker 3: I only hope the lock isn't too rusty.
Speaker 5: Hmm, well, budge, thank Heaven, let's go back.
Speaker 3: Oh give me that? Why can have a few drops
Speaker 3: of oil? Are you?
Speaker 5: I confound this lock?
Speaker 3: No good trying to break the door in. It's as
Speaker 3: solid as you brought her good.
Speaker 2: You are more solid than the house itself.
Speaker 4: Judging by that long crack over the archway.
Speaker 3: Hmm, yes, that is a crack. The building is settling, Watson,
Speaker 3: that crack. Hello, I turned the key locks, decided to
Speaker 3: work the door sticks now hinges rusty. Come on, Watson,
Speaker 3: get your back into it.
Speaker 2: He's moving homes.
Speaker 3: Yes, so is that cracks. Hurry, help me close the
Speaker 3: door before the archway falls on us.
Speaker 2: And it quiet. I didn't hear the wind smells like
Speaker 2: a too.
Speaker 3: Yes, but there's something else, something unhealthy, like a disease.
Speaker 3: I smelled once in the tropics. You don't think it's
Speaker 3: true that the plague is still nonsense? You yourself said
Speaker 3: it wasn't possible. Better light that dark lantern were brought along.
Speaker 2: Indeed, I hate pumping about the dark. I can't say
Speaker 2: it's much more cheerful little light.
Speaker 4: It was those great dirty cobwebs, that old tapestry hanging
Speaker 4: in shreds.
Speaker 3: Yes, nothing has been moved since the plague first touched
Speaker 3: the house. I look down that room, that old old
Speaker 3: table set for a meal, one of the goblets overturned.
Speaker 2: Loose, move the crapes up and down my spine.
Speaker 5: Nothing else of interest here. Let's get onto the next room.
Speaker 2: How hollow? Oh h a footstope sound?
Speaker 3: Yes, this must have been the living one of the house.
Speaker 3: Ashes of a bygone fire still on the hearth homes.
Speaker 4: Homes. Look, there's some people seated in those chairs over there. Nonsense,
Speaker 4: give me the lantern. Why jove, I think you're right.
Speaker 4: Let's smells strongly in here. We'll soon find out. Watson
Speaker 4: called the lantern Homes.
Speaker 2: It's a body, a naked body.
Speaker 5: A corpse, Watson, a cadaver of homes.
Speaker 3: Don't touch it, for the love of Heaven, don't touch it.
Speaker 3: Why Watson.
Speaker 4: Don't you see the swallen eyes, the froth of the mouth,
Speaker 4: the fresh turned black. I've never seen it before, but
Speaker 4: those are the symptoms homes. That's the black plague. But
Speaker 4: that's not possible. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 3: Let me look at the other chairs. Yes, you're an
Speaker 3: old man and you're a woman.
Speaker 2: All victims of the Black death Homes. These are the
Speaker 2: bodies of people who died in this house centuries ago
Speaker 2: the plague. But they're not decayed. Not possible. We must
Speaker 2: be going mad.
Speaker 3: Tell me quick, Watson. Did women do their hair with
Speaker 3: fringes at the time of the last play?
Speaker 2: Cringes? Now I know that we're crazy, White Watson.
Speaker 3: Did you hear that it's the devil coming with his piper.
Speaker 3: He's going to make him dark. The old woman was right.
Speaker 3: The house does quite break up the sound of those pipes.
Speaker 3: He's coming home.
Speaker 6: He's coming.
Speaker 3: Good evening, gentlemen, Dear me, if it isn't our friend,
Speaker 3: Professor Moriarty, I had no idea you were a musician.
Speaker 3: You admire my piping. Eh, Yes, I wondered how long
Speaker 3: it would take you to find me. Allow me to
Speaker 3: congratulate you, mister Holmes.
Speaker 5: You're very prompt, most.
Speaker 3: Flattering, professor, But I assure you it was simplicity itself.
Speaker 3: You didn't think I'd overlook anything as obvious as a
Speaker 3: sealed house and the haunted bagpiper who so conveniently came
Speaker 3: back to life in the past month. Yes, I might
Speaker 3: have known my little roost to get rid of my
Speaker 3: superstitious neighbors wouldn't keep shellock homes away. Perhaps it's just
Speaker 3: as well you've been getting in my way quite a
Speaker 3: bit lately, mister Holmes. I shall have to continue my
Speaker 3: experiments begun on these three poor devils, on yourself and
Speaker 3: doctor Watson.
Speaker 4: In the plague you're going to give us the black plague.
Speaker 3: I really must try my serum on two healthy specimens
Speaker 3: before I pronounced it perfect. After all, these three an
Speaker 3: old beggar, a thief, dang of starvation, and a woman
Speaker 3: of ill repute.
Speaker 5: They could hardly be expected to resist the disease.
Speaker 3: That's very interesting. I was just assuring doctor Watson that
Speaker 3: these corpses were quite recent, because I was sure that
Speaker 3: women didn't wear fringes during the last specimens, and doctor
Speaker 3: Watson was afraid they might be victims of the original plague.
Speaker 3: But in a sense he's ride. The victims are recent,
Speaker 3: but they were killed by the germs of the original
Speaker 3: Black death, most abusing, isn't it fascinating?
Speaker 5: Tell me how did you discover those germs? They were
Speaker 5: in this house.
Speaker 3: I found a nice little culture of them in a
Speaker 3: glass of CAB's foot jelly, which was on the table
Speaker 3: in the front room. How they ever survived as long
Speaker 3: as this I can't imagine. But here, gentlemen, come into
Speaker 3: my laboratory. I want to show you what I've done
Speaker 3: with him.
Speaker 2: Oh what do you do? The black plague? It's a
Speaker 2: terrible thing. The man's mad.
Speaker 5: Human wants a human wi chula.
Speaker 3: Here we are, gentlemen, quite a nice modern little uclay
Speaker 3: for such an ancient house.
Speaker 5: Yes, it is an ancient house, professor.
Speaker 3: But here, this little test tube, it contains enough of
Speaker 3: the black plague to wipe out the entire city of Edinburgh. Yes,
Speaker 3: I rather thought that was your purpose. You've never forgotten
Speaker 3: how they drove you out at the time of the
Speaker 3: Burke and Hair scandal.
Speaker 5: You know about that?
Speaker 3: Quite? Your name wasn't Moriarty then, hut? But you were
Speaker 3: doctor Knox's young assistant at the time. Together you were
Speaker 3: carrying on some exciting experiments, yes, mister Holmes, experiences that
Speaker 3: might have saved the world a great deal of suffering.
Speaker 3: But you were short of cadavers. It wasn't you, by
Speaker 3: any chance, who suggested to Burken here those two body snatches,
Speaker 3: that a body did not have to be legally dead
Speaker 3: to be acceptable. Oh what if I did?
Speaker 5: They only killed the refuse of the city beggars.
Speaker 3: Come quite, but they met the hangman.
Speaker 5: Nonetheless, I the fool's.
Speaker 3: What priced the death of a few when we might
Speaker 3: have discovered a cure that would have saved all humanity?
Speaker 5: Humanity?
Speaker 2: Bah?
Speaker 5: I hated it ever since then.
Speaker 3: I'd sworn I'd get revenge on humanity and the law
Speaker 3: A biding citizens of Edinburgh in particular, and now the
Speaker 3: time has come. Tomorrow the contents of this test tube
Speaker 3: will spread destruction throughout the city. But in the meantime, you,
Speaker 3: mister Holmes, and you doctor Watson, you know too much.
Speaker 3: You shall be the first of the law abiding citizens
Speaker 3: to feel the prick of my little needle.
Speaker 5: Just a moment till I prepare my incident.
Speaker 2: Stop him home, Stop him.
Speaker 3: Not move, gentlemen, one drop out of this test tube,
Speaker 3: even in its present state, is enough to cause dead
Speaker 3: I quite agree, by the way, Professor Moriarty, while you
Speaker 3: are preparing your solution, you have no objections if I
Speaker 3: played tune on your bank pipes. I used to be
Speaker 3: rather good at them in my younger days. Not at all,
Speaker 3: if it at a museum, right.
Speaker 2: It's wotsome.
Speaker 5: Stand here beside me against this wall.
Speaker 2: Home, the house. It's vibrating.
Speaker 3: I can feel the war for that's the note that
Speaker 3: dug it. Hold on there, you're shaking the house, the foundation.
Speaker 3: I can hear them cracking. Look out, man, you'll bring
Speaker 3: the house down. That's what we intend to do. The
Speaker 3: walls I've got to get out of, Kim Katy.
Speaker 4: The front door's block the secret passage in the basement,
Speaker 4: if I can, Richard Homes, he topped the test tube.
Speaker 3: It's spreading across the floor.
Speaker 4: Won't step back into the pipe, And so mister Bell
Speaker 4: Holmes played that note on the bagpipes until the house
Speaker 4: crashed in upon itself.
Speaker 1: But doctor Watson, once you killed not quite.
Speaker 2: Mister Bell.
Speaker 4: No, No, Holmes deduced from that crack above the front
Speaker 4: door that the house was.
Speaker 3: Weak, and he also guessed which way did fall if
Speaker 3: it did give.
Speaker 4: In the role that we were standing against in the
Speaker 4: fireplace alone will have standing. If you've seen in a
Speaker 4: ruined castles, mister Bell, you'll notice how frequently that seems
Speaker 4: to happen.
Speaker 1: And Professor Moriarty did he escape unfortunate?
Speaker 4: He did, mister Bell, through the secret passage in the basement,
Speaker 4: which he had mentioned.
Speaker 5: But the black plague in those quartses, what did you
Speaker 5: do about that?
Speaker 2: We left them where they were no use in forming
Speaker 2: their parties. They wouldn't have believed us, and besides.
Speaker 4: It would have been too dangerous to go poking about
Speaker 4: in the ruins. No Home simply poured these spirits from
