Speaker 1: Pet Tree Wine brings you Masil Rappone and Nigel Bruce
Speaker 1: and the New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family,
Speaker 1: the family that took time to bring you good wine.
Speaker 1: Invite you to listen to Doctor Watson tell us another
Speaker 1: story about his old friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 1: And incidentally, I'd like to tell you about a swell
Speaker 1: American custom, the custom of serving sherry wine just before
Speaker 1: dinner Petrie California sherry. You know, especially when you have
Speaker 1: guests while you're waiting for that call to the dinner table,
Speaker 1: there's nothing better than a good glass that good Petree sherry.
Speaker 1: You don't need fancy glasses for Petree sherry, No, sir.
Speaker 1: That wine tastes good out of any glass. And it
Speaker 1: looks good too, beautifully clear and the color of precious amber.
Speaker 1: Just try that Petrie sherry and you'll feel like smacking
Speaker 1: your lips after every oh insane. Patty makes two kinds
Speaker 1: of sherry, the regular sherry and Petree Pale dry sherry,
Speaker 1: just to make sure you get the perfect sherry for
Speaker 1: the whole family. Don't buy one, buy two, but do
Speaker 1: be sure the sherry you buy is Petrie, Sherry Petrie,
Speaker 1: the proudest name and the history of American wine. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm sure our good friend doctor Watson's ready for us.
Speaker 1: Let's go in and join it.
Speaker 2: Oh there you are, mister bart It.
Speaker 1: Doctor, say, where are the puppies of Selings?
Speaker 3: Mister, don't think it's about time you began to refer
Speaker 3: to them as the dogs are almost a year old?
Speaker 1: You know, I stand corrected.
Speaker 2: Where are the dogs? Well, they had.
Speaker 4: Another furious battle with a dead seal on the beach.
Speaker 3: Today my housekeeper, Missus West is giving them a much
Speaker 3: needed bond.
Speaker 1: They certainly haven't aversion to seals, don't they. Well, doctor,
Speaker 1: are you already with the nice news shell like CON's adventure?
Speaker 3: Yes, my boy, And as yesterday it was from Patrick's day.
Speaker 3: I decided to tell you a story that took place
Speaker 3: in Ireland a few years before the turn of the century.
Speaker 4: I imagine that you've heard of kissing the blarnistone.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, doctor, though I've never understood exactly what it meant.
Speaker 3: Well, let me explain it to you, because the ceremony
Speaker 3: plays a very important part in the story tonight. Blanid
Speaker 3: Castle is an imposing fifteenth century ruin a few miles
Speaker 3: outside the town of Cork. The castle is many his
Speaker 3: stories high, and in the foremost tower, the famous blonistone
Speaker 3: is situated.
Speaker 1: What's supposed to be the point in kissing it, Doctor,
Speaker 1: The stone.
Speaker 3: Is considered a powerful talisman, and the legend runs at
Speaker 3: whoever kisses it is endowed with eloquence for life.
Speaker 1: To say, doctor, if I ever get over to Ireland,
Speaker 1: I'll certainly kiss that stone. But you're such a storyteller yourself. Doctor,
Speaker 1: how about you've kissed it?
Speaker 2: No, it's about it. I'm I've had quite enough courage.
Speaker 1: Courage made Cottagetonne.
Speaker 3: Because the Blonistone is set in a most inaccessible position
Speaker 3: on the outside wall, to kiss it discustom me to
Speaker 3: luwer the candidate for eloquence over the rampart Head forest
Speaker 3: with a friend hanging on to his heels.
Speaker 1: From the top of the castle. That sound dangerous, Doctin
Speaker 1: It was my boy, so much so that in recent
Speaker 1: years a great robant Spikes has put round the parapet
Speaker 1: to prevent an accident, though of course, at the time
Speaker 1: to Night's story took place, there was no such guard,
Speaker 1: and I have feeling that an accident did take place.
Speaker 3: Telling me tell you the story from the beginning. Sherlock
Speaker 3: Holmes and I were staying in the city of Cork,
Speaker 3: where the Great Manager saw the singular affair, which the
Speaker 3: local press had referred.
Speaker 2: To as Epricorn murders.
Speaker 3: A few days before departure for England, we paid a
Speaker 3: visit to Blannet Castle. I must confess that I had
Speaker 3: a certain desire to test the mileculous powers attributed to
Speaker 3: the blondistone. I changed my mind, however, as Holmes and
Speaker 3: I stood there high on the turrets of blod A
Speaker 3: Castle and watched to terrify this ship being hauled up
Speaker 3: by his ankles and.
Speaker 4: Yelling at the top of his voice, pull me up,
Speaker 4: Pull me up, Wiki, I think I'm going to faith.
Speaker 3: Scott had no idea of kissing the Barani stone was
Speaker 3: such a hazardous proceeding years.
Speaker 1: It would seem that eloquence could be more easily obtained
Speaker 1: than by hanging suspended by one's ankles from a battlement
Speaker 1: with one hundred foot dropped below and kissing a piece
Speaker 1: of stone.
Speaker 2: Never do that again. I don't blame the puller.
Speaker 1: And yet my dir chat on our way over here,
Speaker 1: you expressed a sneaking desire to kiss the stone yourself.
Speaker 1: I don't be very happy to hold your ankles if
Speaker 1: you want to try the experiment than after witnessing the
Speaker 1: servant chased Roman, then I suggested we make our way
Speaker 1: back downstairs. I don't think there's much more to be
Speaker 1: seen up here.
Speaker 4: Well by the way homes.
Speaker 3: Do you know the origin of the superstition regarding the blantone.
Speaker 1: Yes, I do o chat the stone was done. The
Speaker 1: stone dates back to the middle of the fifteenth century.
Speaker 1: A certain Cormack McCarty called the Strong. I descend him
Speaker 1: of the ancient kings of Munster, builder of this castle.
Speaker 1: Chance one day to save an old woman from drowning.
Speaker 1: Her gratitude, she off at Cornack a golden tongue which
Speaker 1: would have a power to influence men and women, friends
Speaker 1: and foes. As he willed, She told him to mont
Speaker 1: the battleman kiss a certain stone in the wall five
Speaker 1: feet below the gabrier running around the top. He putry
Speaker 1: directions and obtained all the fluent e suasiveness she had promised.
Speaker 2: The story is spread in the Barnis Stone.
Speaker 1: There has been a magnet of pilgrims over sudden that
Speaker 1: person's legend homes.
Speaker 4: Yes, old Chap, Tomorrow's Patrick's day.
Speaker 3: I bet there'll be quite a bit of excitement in
Speaker 3: the village tonight.
Speaker 4: Don't you think it'd be rather fun to play a
Speaker 4: visit to one of the local inns.
Speaker 1: Splendid idea old jab our rather arduous work here in
Speaker 1: Nowland is concluded, and I think we're more than entitles.
Speaker 1: Would it be gayety.
Speaker 2: In lovel.
Speaker 1: Pretty today?
Speaker 2: But I first met with lame along.
Speaker 1: Charming my charming awater and seeing it is working very
Speaker 1: well too, just the same, I wish someone would come
Speaker 1: and take an hour of.
Speaker 2: Oh there's a bombad. I'll see if I can catch her.
Speaker 5: Hi, miss miss?
Speaker 1: Would you gentlemen be after what and something?
Speaker 2: Yes, my dear, my friend, and I would like a
Speaker 2: little refreshment. And what would you suggest?
Speaker 4: What would I suggest?
Speaker 2: You?
Speaker 5: Runner, o, big good?
Speaker 6: There is but one drink a gentleman like yourself should
Speaker 6: be after pouring down you.
Speaker 4: And that's the cream of carning Bora whiskey.
Speaker 2: It is soft, near.
Speaker 6: Hurting, a natia glow with a good feeling, so so
Speaker 6: that the little people of the after visiting you.
Speaker 1: F sounds delightful, bring two glasses, we.
Speaker 4: Know, yes, yes, your honner.
Speaker 3: I must say I never heard an English bombad go
Speaker 3: into such rhapsodies over in Nipper Whist.
Speaker 1: The Irish are distinctive or colorful in their speech. It's
Speaker 1: an interesting fact, though, Watson, that the Irish are curiously
Speaker 1: unrewarding in the critical world. England, Scots, America, Australia have
Speaker 1: all produced classics of crime, but the Irish murder is
Speaker 1: almost without exception, the purely physical affairs of hot You
Speaker 1: said that rather regretfully homes nobody a chat. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's what's look This rather florid gentlemen coming towards our
Speaker 1: table looks to me.
Speaker 2: As if he's a little under the weather.
Speaker 1: You fellows have got to have a drink with me.
Speaker 2: Oh thank you, sir, thank you. But we've just ordered one.
Speaker 1: I've gotta have it with me. I went to the
Speaker 1: races at Corked today and made a killing. I'm going
Speaker 1: by all the drinks. Certain I'm afraid that you're afraid of.
Speaker 1: I'll sit down with you for a moment. My name's Hanking,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Hanking. What's your man is Holmes? And this is
Speaker 1: my friend, doctor Watson.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 1: Then he went into I'm paying for these here half
Speaker 1: a crown and you can keep them.
Speaker 6: Change blessings on you you well.
Speaker 3: If you insist on paying for drinks, mister Hankin, here's
Speaker 3: your very good health.
Speaker 1: Indeed you're both English, yes, sir, so amne. It's certainly
Speaker 1: a relief to hear English voice again. If you don't
Speaker 1: like the Irish, little sir, i'mbearers personally, I've had a
Speaker 1: rather chary It wouldn't if you had to live with
Speaker 1: it all the time. Sometimes I think that if I
Speaker 1: hear one more Irish tenor singing Molly Malone, or one more.
Speaker 2: Reference to the little people.
Speaker 1: I should be raving to live in Lanson. I have
Speaker 1: to I own a half interest in the treatment here.
Speaker 1: You see. In any case, my wife's hourish and he
Speaker 1: thinks there's no other country in the.
Speaker 2: World socas I'm stuck here.
Speaker 1: See that couple sitting at the table over there.
Speaker 2: You mean the fellow was a very beautiful girl.
Speaker 1: Is man's Michael Corker and my partner.
Speaker 2: The girl's absolutely ravishing.
Speaker 1: He'd like to meet her, like, well, what's in the
Speaker 1: combination of my natural curiosity and your taste pro pretty
Speaker 1: paste would seem to suit the occasion that probably I
Speaker 1: might as well warn you, doctor that the pretty face
Speaker 1: belongs to my wife, your wife to me. You better
Speaker 1: bring your glasses with you, My my dear, I want
Speaker 1: you to meet two English friends of mine, mister Holmes
Speaker 1: and Dr Watson.
Speaker 5: Mister Holmes, Doctor Barton, won't you sit down and join it?
Speaker 1: And this is my partner, Michael Corker. How do you
Speaker 1: do miss Cochran? How I'm glad to meet you. Please
Speaker 1: be seated, gentlemen, how are you visiting her? Yes? This
Speaker 1: is akin, but we're returning to eat them in a
Speaker 1: few days.
Speaker 5: You've been to Blarney Castle, I hope.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, we would have at noon?
Speaker 5: And did either have you had the courage to kiss
Speaker 5: the Blarney Stone?
Speaker 2: Oh no we didn't.
Speaker 4: I'm fred it's an athletic feat that.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of rubbish, that's what it is, Sladow Stone.
Speaker 1: Have you the courage to do it? Jeffrey, I want
Speaker 1: to make a fool of myself.
Speaker 2: Where's the bomb?
Speaker 1: Man? Deathly? I'll make a way to Jeffrey. But you
Speaker 1: haven't the courage to kiss the stone at your bet Michael,
Speaker 1: and weigh your a ten pound note on. It takes
Speaker 1: a bet, and you, fellows witness this ll kiss the
Speaker 1: blony stone at noon tomorrow and you'll be ten parts
Speaker 1: of poorer. Michael, and I suggested mister Holmes and doctor
Speaker 1: Watson be present as well, late Lass referees.
Speaker 5: Jeffrey, dear, don't get to excited.
Speaker 1: I don't like it when Michael suggests I don't have courage.
Speaker 1: You want some more dat, mister Henrison, thank you.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no no, And you've had enough. You'll
Speaker 4: tell me when I've had enough.
Speaker 7: Money In Dublin Spear City, their no not that perfect, and.
Speaker 2: I find.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey quiet.
Speaker 7: You wanted me to sing in this.
Speaker 1: Song, My honor would like you to shut up that
Speaker 1: filthy cattle boy. Sean.
Speaker 5: Please go on with your singing.
Speaker 7: In Dublin Spear City.
Speaker 2: You heard me, great.
Speaker 1: Show, Jeffrey.
Speaker 5: I'm leaving here this once. Michael, please to take me home.
Speaker 1: It would be my pleasure money.
Speaker 6: You're an ugly man, mister Hankin knocking down poor Sean
Speaker 6: when he was singing just like a bird.
Speaker 2: Devil with him.
Speaker 4: Love you, no irishman will.
Speaker 6: Be after forgiving you for this night's work. No, not
Speaker 6: the little people of old Ireland either. You've made more enemies,
Speaker 6: mister Hankin than you'll ever see. Would you'll be knowing
Speaker 6: there there you can't find.
Speaker 4: Me super Irish superstition.
Speaker 2: Well, bless my soul. That was a charming little party,
Speaker 2: I must sir.
Speaker 1: Englishmen like Hankin are a disgrace to the country. Fortunately
Speaker 1: they're not representative.
Speaker 3: Yes, I must say, curse put on me like that
Speaker 3: barmaid laid on him.
Speaker 1: Watson. Yeah, did you see the glances which mister Hankins's
Speaker 1: partner and his wife exchanged as the brawl started. There
Speaker 1: was more menace to him in those glances than in
Speaker 1: all the threats of all the little people in Ireland.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought that there was something between them. I
Speaker 4: say home, that better.
Speaker 3: About Hankin kissing the Blarneystone at noon tomorrow?
Speaker 1: Do you nothing? But there are forces at work here
Speaker 1: that I don't like. I think Watson, that you and
Speaker 1: I will be at the Blandystone at noon tomorrow. It's
Speaker 1: possible that the bet made tonight is all part of
Speaker 1: a depth plan, and I have a feeling that the
Speaker 1: bet is still on Cui Winny up here today, or
Speaker 1: fellow at the top of the tier, isn't it?
Speaker 2: Yes, it's just past noon. I wonder if that man
Speaker 2: Hankin is going.
Speaker 4: To keep the terms of his death.
Speaker 1: We will soon learn in the meanwhile, Are you sure
Speaker 1: that you wouldn't like to change your mind and kiss
Speaker 1: the blandets down herself?
Speaker 2: I'm quite sure they got here.
Speaker 1: They come now, Yes, and kin as his partner, mister Copperhan.
Speaker 1: The bet is on Watson. Good day you gentlemen. Oh huh,
Speaker 1: it's my friends from last night.
Speaker 2: Well, I see you're going through the betsn.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, Jeffy said his mine and the's ten pounds
Speaker 1: of mine. Your wife didn't become here, mister Hankin, No
Speaker 1: she didn't. I'm afraid I'm rather in disgraceful. My behavior
Speaker 1: last night boy made me go around and see that
Speaker 1: way a fellow that I had, I offered him money,
Speaker 1: but he wouldn't take it. Did you offer him an apology?
Speaker 1: Apologize to a waited I should say?
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Well, come on, let's get this strip it fast over
Speaker 1: with eh. Are you sure?
Speaker 2: Oh? Your nerves can stand it?
Speaker 1: Jeffrey. It's a drop of one hundred feet or more. Below.
Speaker 1: You don't worry about me, Michael. Just gol on my ankles, tightling,
Speaker 1: then like go, I'll climb out of the power.
Speaker 2: Bet. There we are.
Speaker 1: Now, hold on to my feet, Michael, lower me gently.
Speaker 1: I'm holding you.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey right, you are, Jeffrey good.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that for one hundred pounds, sliding head
Speaker 3: burst on a vertical wall.
Speaker 4: Oh his boots, they're slipping from the fingers.
Speaker 2: I can't hold it out him. Hold on to me,
Speaker 2: hold on to him.
Speaker 4: Oh he's gone.
Speaker 2: I just couldn't hold him away.
Speaker 4: Heavens, no man could survive that drop.
Speaker 1: It's a cochormant. You deliberately let your partner slip to
Speaker 1: his death. This is murder, which I don't understand. I'm
Speaker 1: a strong man. But he just vanished out her hands
Speaker 1: leg like a grease peak. Let me see your hands,
Speaker 1: mister Cochorman's dreadful, dreadful. Now's grease on your hands. Greee
Speaker 1: and with a faint trace of bootplacking.
Speaker 2: Good lord home.
Speaker 1: That means Watson. But someone knowing that Hankin was going
Speaker 1: to kiss the bonistone smear his boots with grease so
Speaker 1: that he would slip out of the grasp of whoever
Speaker 1: was holding him. There's clever a method of indirect long
Speaker 1: distance murderers ever I've encountered.
Speaker 2: You hear the.
Speaker 1: Remainder of Doc Watson's story in just a second. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to remind you that Patrick California's sherry is
Speaker 1: not only wonderful before dinner, but it's good almost any time.
Speaker 1: If you had to choose just one wine for almost
Speaker 1: any occasion, that wine would be Petrie sherry. Petrie sherry
Speaker 1: is a perfect wine to serve in the afternoon or
Speaker 1: in the evening. It's good before dinner, yes, but it's
Speaker 1: swell after dinner too. In fact, with a bottle of
Speaker 1: Petrie sherry on your shelf, you got practically a small
Speaker 1: sized wine side. So get a bottle of Petrie sherry soon.
Speaker 1: And remember you can't miss with any wine that has
Speaker 1: the letters P E, T R I on the label,
Speaker 1: because all Petrie wine is good wine. But doctor Watson,
Speaker 1: this is quite a story you're telling us tonight. What
Speaker 1: happened next? I suppose you went down into the castle
Speaker 1: grounds and looked for the dead man's bottle.
Speaker 3: We tried to mister Boutell, but the athologies were curiously
Speaker 3: and cooperative. It refused to let a search, insisting of
Speaker 3: the police be called first.
Speaker 2: And so mister Botel.
Speaker 3: Half an hour after the tragedy, Holmes and I found
Speaker 3: ourselves standing in the Talley.
Speaker 4: Police station as we told the story for the local sergeant.
Speaker 1: Sure the stands be prayers, mister Holmes, this is a
Speaker 1: terrible story you've told me. Tomorrow I'll be after resting
Speaker 1: Sean O'Flaherty. He's a waiter at the end, the one
Speaker 1: who sings that he is, that he is any things
Speaker 1: like a breath of spring. I'm sorry to see him hang.
Speaker 1: Good to you. No proof that he was possible for
Speaker 1: the murder, proof, you say, sir, But I can't arrest
Speaker 1: a big man of factory man like mister Copper, can I?
Speaker 4: Or a fine lady like missus Hank.
Speaker 1: But you can't arrest a man without any evidence of guilt.
Speaker 1: I can't, can't. I then suppose I tell you that
Speaker 1: Shan o. Faddy cleans the boats at the hotel where
Speaker 1: mister Hank can be staying.
Speaker 3: They then he had the perfect opportunity for the greasing
Speaker 3: of Hankins boots this morning.
Speaker 2: And we know he had a motive for harming him.
Speaker 1: Your r sir, and for what I have hoarded the
Speaker 1: dead man's behavior. Last night half a dozen people could
Speaker 1: have heard him make the bet that he'd kissed the
Speaker 1: blinding stone. Today, shan oh, faddy's a man, I'd have
Speaker 1: to rest far tomorrow. What good heavens man? Aren't you
Speaker 1: going to do something today? A murders at large?
Speaker 4: Today? Bless a Saint Patrick's Day?
Speaker 1: Should let the poor fellow have the day? He said, Oh,
Speaker 1: he won't run away.
Speaker 2: My your son?
Speaker 1: Will you come back with me to the castle, and
Speaker 1: said for the body they refuse to let me do
Speaker 1: the lane and Saint Patrick's Day that I will not.
Speaker 4: We would need a crew of helpers.
Speaker 1: Where will I be after getting them on? They said,
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day?
Speaker 4: No, No, we'll do that tomorrow too.
Speaker 1: Not today's a day for celebrating. Your methods are stound, missage,
Speaker 1: Do they know? Sir? Now threaten about me? Just injoire
Speaker 1: yourself today tomorrow we'll see what can be done about it. Well,
Speaker 1: good day to you, gentlemen.
Speaker 2: I never scene. Since you're having a lucky policeman in
Speaker 2: the light.
Speaker 1: Infuriating you only have a lot to examine Hankins, you
Speaker 1: can get to the bottom of this.
Speaker 2: Well, what are you going to do now? Please?
Speaker 1: Won't help us, then we mistake the lawn of our
Speaker 1: own hands. I think we'll stand off by going to
Speaker 1: be hotel and seeing what we can find out from
Speaker 1: Sean of party.
Speaker 7: As I was going to bury you already, I will
Speaker 7: remember for the view the legs and Lessons one and
Speaker 7: fifty of November with a marine day and a marine
Speaker 7: you do the Dado yourna would be after speaking to
Speaker 7: me Sean O clarity?
Speaker 1: Perhaps yes, Sean, did you know that mister hank And,
Speaker 1: the man who's truck you last night was dead dead? Well,
Speaker 1: if you were a man deserved to be beneath the side.
Speaker 7: Was Jeffrey Hankin himself.
Speaker 1: A mean, ugly man? This md to be praised that
Speaker 1: he's gone. How did he die?
Speaker 2: Sir?
Speaker 4: He was murder.
Speaker 1: Murdered, but be dead. I'm not surprised to hear it
Speaker 1: who murdered him, sir? At the mumbured The police seem
Speaker 1: to think that you are the culprit meself, Well, how
Speaker 1: would I be after murdering the man? Sir? And I
Speaker 1: don't even know how he died?
Speaker 2: He died when he fell.
Speaker 3: From the top of Planet Castle as he was trying
Speaker 3: to kiss the stone.
Speaker 1: He fell because mister cockran and his partner couldn't hold
Speaker 1: on to his feet. His boots have been greased, and we.
Speaker 2: Know that you have been cleaning his boots, Sean.
Speaker 1: That I have, Sir, I cleaned him this very mining,
Speaker 1: but I put no grease on him. If that's which
Speaker 1: you'd be after suggestion, I'm suggesting nothing. I am trying
Speaker 1: to establish a few facts. Do you know Kathleen the barmad.
Speaker 7: Oh In Why shouldn't I know her, sir, to be
Speaker 7: me wife before the winter sits him?
Speaker 1: She pronounced a curse on the dead man last night,
Speaker 1: just after he had knocked you down. It's possible that
Speaker 1: she let if.
Speaker 6: You Shan mc darling. What are the fine gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Doing, Katleen?
Speaker 7: They've come to ask me questions about the death of
Speaker 7: mister Hankin. He fell off Blannet Castle today and got
Speaker 7: himself murdered.
Speaker 1: They say, the saints be praised, But what is there
Speaker 1: to do with you, my darling?
Speaker 7: But the gentleman tell me that the village police think
Speaker 7: that I might have greased his boots, so he slipped
Speaker 7: his death.
Speaker 6: The village police is as stupid is my father's big
Speaker 6: sou If mister Hankin fell to his death today because
Speaker 6: his boots were greased, I can tell you who did it?
Speaker 1: Who the little people?
Speaker 6: Are you warning mister Hankin last night that the little
Speaker 6: people would be after him?
Speaker 1: He insulted the iro.
Speaker 3: Oh, come, come, come, mader. You don't share the expects
Speaker 3: to believe in the little people?
Speaker 6: And why not, your honor, we have them here. There's
Speaker 6: no say the fairy is well he did, but I
Speaker 6: know different. I've seen them. When I was a slip
Speaker 6: of a girl. Close to where I lived, there was
Speaker 6: a rat that's a fort, you know, and the wrath
Speaker 6: was the fairies for it. We never dare touch it
Speaker 6: with a spade, or or put down a tree grow
Speaker 6: in honor to carry away a stone. We put our
Speaker 6: ear to the ground at knighton and we could hear
Speaker 6: the fairy music rising up from under the ground.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 6: They're gentle people most of the time, but they greased
Speaker 6: the boots of a man like mister Hankin. If they
Speaker 6: didn't like them, that they would, your.
Speaker 4: Honor, Holmes.
Speaker 1: I'm certain that we're wasting your time here, I guess,
Speaker 1: said Watson got the whole thing turned on the greazing
Speaker 1: of those boots. If only I could have the boots
Speaker 1: in my hands, if only I could make laboratory tests.
Speaker 1: But until that, don't of the police. But of course
Speaker 1: I haven't, Watson, you have on her, he answered, I
Speaker 1: hope get hold of missus Hankin and mister Cochran, have
Speaker 1: them meet me in the Blandest Tone Tower in half
Speaker 1: an hour. You where you going to the police station
Speaker 1: to try and convince the sergeant that, even in Saint
Speaker 1: Patrick's dates, his duty to help me trap a murderer.
Speaker 1: You know, mister Holmes, you're an obstinate man. It's pleas
Speaker 1: to Saint Patrick's day, and yet you insist that we
Speaker 1: meet here on the top of Blardie Castle. What do
Speaker 1: you think you can prove woo murder Jeffrey Hankin best?
Speaker 1: But why to Marley and I have to.
Speaker 5: Be here, yes, mister Holmes, and poor Jeffrey's body is
Speaker 5: still lying somewhere, belows.
Speaker 1: Missus hank Here, mister Cochran, I asked doctor Watson to
Speaker 1: bring you here for a good reason. I assure you. Ready, Watson,
Speaker 1: quite ready, home good soganty. Yes, sir, you asked if

Speaker 1: to reconstruct the crime. I shall play the part of
Speaker 1: the victim. My friend doctor Watson will represent you, mister Cochran.
Speaker 1: Now I straddled a part of it. So Watson, hold
Speaker 1: on of my female.
Speaker 2: I've got him home.
Speaker 1: Lay him around the face of the wall. Bete you up,
Speaker 1: homes Hon'll take to the wall.

Speaker 4: The murders tried to get you.

Speaker 2: Oh that's a.
Speaker 1: Near thing, devilish plot, sergeanten that heavily carried out, and
Speaker 1: my boot were ungreased. I entered the castle and yet
Speaker 1: someone has been able to apply Greece to them, not
Speaker 1: my knowledge, within the last few minutes. Sure, how is
Speaker 1: that possible, Sir? I don't know, Sergeant, I must confessed.
Speaker 4: Holmes.
Speaker 3: You stumble as you came up the Dartin's staircase.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that?
Speaker 1: As to Wilshab, I've forgotten, and you, missus Hankin and you,
Speaker 1: mister Cochran, were kind of not to assist me to
Speaker 1: my feet. An excellent opportunity to apply the grease. Now
Speaker 1: we know that one of you two is the murder.
Speaker 1: I must have a job of Greece somewhere and aston,
Speaker 1: will you search the lady while I searched, mister cochran.
Speaker 2: But this is ridicious, of course it is.
Speaker 5: How could we be guilty?
Speaker 4: Well, if your teams you've got no objection to being searched.
Speaker 1: On my word, here are your person, missus Hackness, a
Speaker 1: job of Greece. Now what have you to say to yourself?
Speaker 1: Can't you say, Sergeant, except that she engineered her husband's
Speaker 1: murder and try to engineer mine.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, are you nothing about Jeffrey's murder? Oh,
Speaker 5: Michael Darling, I swear to you.
Speaker 1: Won't worry, my darling, I'll not not the butter. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you you're wrong, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2: I I wish the murderer.
Speaker 5: Oh no, Michael, you mustn't sacrifice.
Speaker 2: Yourself for ning.
Speaker 1: This little play acting is done far enough, mister Cochran.
Speaker 1: You have just offered us and what you think we
Speaker 1: will accept as a false confession. But I've established the
Speaker 1: one thing I wish to know. That you love your
Speaker 1: late partner's wife, and she you and proud to admit that,
Speaker 1: mister Holmes, and now that she's a widow, I can
Speaker 1: safely opened. But what how are you implying that you
Speaker 1: murdered your partner but put the grease on your own boot, Sir?
Speaker 1: I just found a jar with missus Hank. That's my
Speaker 1: discargeon was all part of my little plan. As to
Speaker 1: the grease on my boots, I can diss I placed
Speaker 1: it there myself, just as I planted the jar of
Speaker 1: grease in your bag. Miss Afoard accomplished two ends. It
Speaker 1: forced you, mister Cochran, into a portrayal of your love.
Speaker 1: But what was more important to from what Dr Watson's
Speaker 1: natural reactions were that a man holding the greased boots
Speaker 1: could not fail to realize that fact at once, you
Speaker 1: brazenly committed murder. Pa Paulaverty eyes mister Cochran, hoping to
Speaker 1: appear as a person victim of another's plot. If theory
Speaker 1: is an ingenious one, siphone, But how can you prove it?
Speaker 1: I can clean that my hands are unusually insensitive, not
Speaker 1: the delicate fingers of a doctor like your friend. Yes
Speaker 1: he's right, sir. How can you prove it when with
Speaker 1: your kind cooperation, Sergeant. We find the body of mister
Speaker 1: Hankin and examine it. I shall study his boots. If
Speaker 1: the grease was applied at the hotel, as it would
Speaker 1: have been if Sauma plowed had done it, the boots
Speaker 1: will reveal dust from the walk here. If there is
Speaker 1: no dust, the grease must have been applied as you
Speaker 1: grabbed your partner's boots with grease smeared hands. Mister Cochran,
Speaker 1: you should know best what my tests ahead. I don't
Speaker 1: please don't buy money Medland, great scutty he jumped off
Speaker 1: the packet. Now, mister Holmes, you can see that I
Speaker 1: was right, sir, wasn't that? What do you mean, sergeant?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: And waiting until tomorrow to get the touch party. Now
Speaker 1: we can be after finding both parties at the one time. Doctor,
Speaker 1: that was really an unusual story.
Speaker 3: No, I get a bit of a shutow when I
Speaker 3: think of that afternoon at the castle.
Speaker 1: You don't blame you, doctor. You know something earlier this
Speaker 1: evening I said that if I ever got to Ireland,
Speaker 1: i'd certainly want to kiss the Blarney stone. Remember, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well I've changed my mind. No more want to hang
Speaker 1: by my heels kiss that.
Speaker 2: Stone, and.
Speaker 1: Well, just let's forget, my boy, I don't forget.
Speaker 3: If you kiss that stone, you get the gift developments.
Speaker 3: You'd be the most convincing fellow in the world. So
Speaker 3: so well, whenever you talked about Petree wine, you'd really
Speaker 3: do people a favor because they wouldn't be able to
Speaker 3: resist trying it.
Speaker 1: Oh, talking about Petri wine as an important doctor, the
Speaker 1: best way to determine just how good Petry wine really
Speaker 1: is is to taste it one sip and is all
Speaker 1: the proof you need. That's because the Petrie family has
Speaker 1: developed the art of wine making to a truly fine point.
Speaker 1: They've been making wine for generations, and all the things
Speaker 1: the Petrie family knows about turning luscious, sun ripened grapes
Speaker 1: into fragrant, delicious wine have been handed on down in
Speaker 1: the family, if from father to son, from father to son.
Speaker 1: That's why whenever you want to swell wine for any occasion,
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong with a Petree wine, because Petree
Speaker 1: took time to bring you good wine. Well, doctor Watson,
Speaker 1: what new Sherlock call story are you planning to tell us?
