Speaker 1: And now I'm sure doctor Watson's expecting us, so let's
Speaker 1: go in and join it.
Speaker 2: Oh there you are, mister Berto.
Speaker 3: Good an acting, good evening. Draw up your chair with
Speaker 3: the fur. That's it, the tobacco's and the job beside you.
Speaker 1: Thanks well, Doctor, already for tonight's new sherlack Hon's adventure.
Speaker 3: Yes, mister Berto, on this occasion, I'm going to tell
Speaker 3: the story a little differently. You see, I didn't take
Speaker 3: part in it myself, so I shall act as a
Speaker 3: narrator and recount the adventure as it was told me
Speaker 3: some years after it.
Speaker 1: Actually took place, told you by Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 4: I suppose.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: At the time the story happened, the whole world, including myself,
Speaker 3: believed that my old friend had been dead for three years.
Speaker 5: What did he do with himself?
Speaker 4: During those three years?
Speaker 3: Doctor wondered about the world Persia Egypt to south of France.
Speaker 3: Two years of his time was spent in Tibet, where
Speaker 3: he disguised himself as an Norwegian explorer by the name
Speaker 3: of Sergus, his object being to visit for business city
Speaker 3: of Laza.
Speaker 2: The story began as Holmes stood on.
Speaker 3: The outskirts of a tiny encampment high in the Tibetan snows,
Speaker 3: disguised the Norwegian services. Surrounding him was an excited group
Speaker 3: of Native guides, their fur capped faces and shaggy sheepskin
Speaker 3: coats making them appear like strange wild animals as they
Speaker 3: stood there, espiculating wildly. The freezing wind.
Speaker 2: Were great clouds of snow away from the mountaintop.
Speaker 3: That loomed above them, and Holmes told me that he
Speaker 3: felt a premonition of impending disaster.
Speaker 6: Sir, my men will go no further, they say, the
Speaker 6: concept the.
Speaker 2: Mountain is angry. If we cry further, she will swallow
Speaker 2: us up, she will bury us.
Speaker 7: But we cannot talk back.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 8: We have come so far thousand feet eight hundred feet
Speaker 8: high out we shall reach past.
Speaker 9: We can't stay back there in the tent until the
Speaker 9: Godess of the mountain telligence we may go further.
Speaker 2: He is right, we can go. We don't want to
Speaker 2: know anymore. Two fools. If you stay here in the millderness,
Speaker 2: in the village and the.
Speaker 8: Avalanche comes, you will all the pet you have to
Speaker 8: swept away.
Speaker 2: The only abroad guys, what we will let go.
Speaker 5: Hold on alone?
Speaker 2: Holmes was the only one who survived.
Speaker 3: He struggled up the paths that led the safety, the
Speaker 3: icy girl whipping around him in a frenzy. A few
Speaker 3: moments after he reached the top, the avalanche occurred.
Speaker 2: The tents, the guides, and all the equipment were buried.
Speaker 3: Beneath hundreds of feet of utling undering the snow. The
Speaker 3: way behind him was closed. He could only fall your
Speaker 3: head alone, and he descended the pace of dead to
Speaker 3: the plateau beyond.
Speaker 2: But the Goddess of the mountain was still angry.
Speaker 3: Through the knifing wind and snow, he battled on without
Speaker 3: food and without, as he told me later.
Speaker 2: Much hope.
Speaker 3: Even Holmes was helpless in that battle of man against
Speaker 3: the elements. What happened in that thirty six hours he
Speaker 3: never really knew, except that the wind howled and the
Speaker 3: driving snow slashed him without mercy.
Speaker 2: Finally, his mind began to wander, and he became delirious.
Speaker 4: What's nearby? And am i valin? Willi Mariati?
Speaker 6: Once introduced to the Goddess of the mountain eighteenth will
Speaker 6: have a lot in common to only one the latestry Cavire.
Speaker 4: For Heaven's sake, as fast as you can. I think
Speaker 4: I've got a chill.
Speaker 3: Though his mind was one bring his great strength combined
Speaker 3: with instinctive urge for self preservation as to keet on
Speaker 3: his feet. But finally he returned to normal consciousness to
Speaker 3: find himself jogging along a rough road in a primitive
Speaker 3: cock drawn by two oxen, the sun shining on him,
Speaker 3: and a white.
Speaker 2: Girl feeding him warm broth from a cup. For a moment.
Speaker 2: The girl looked at him with a comforting.
Speaker 5: Smile and then spoke, no wonder you look puzzled, poor man.
Speaker 5: You can't make up your mind whether you're in this
Speaker 5: world or the next.
Speaker 4: And how did I get here? Please?
Speaker 5: My name Isiding Barley. I'm a medical missionary. I found
Speaker 5: you wandering out of your mind two days ago, and
Speaker 5: I've taken you under my wing, and we're going to
Speaker 5: the monastery of Pancha Pushba.
Speaker 6: I'm most guidful to you, Miss Valley. You have saved
Speaker 6: my life. Permit me to introduce myself. My name is
Speaker 6: Sikersen or Loaf Sikersen, a Norwegian explorer.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, your name is Sherlock Holmes and you're
Speaker 5: a famous English dead it is I don't understand mister Holmes,
Speaker 5: you've been delirious for the last two days in your ravings.
Speaker 5: I was delighted to learn that the great Sherlock Holmes
Speaker 5: did not die two years ago. At the racking back falls.
Speaker 4: I can see that father simulation is useless. My dear
Speaker 4: young lady, however, I must implore you to keep my secret.
Speaker 4: It's essential. Then for a while longer the world continues
Speaker 4: to think me dead.
Speaker 5: You don't need to worry, mister Holmes. I'm a great
Speaker 5: admirer of yours, and I promise that no one will
Speaker 5: ever learn your secret from my lips. Try drinking a
Speaker 5: little more abroad. You're dreadfully weak.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
Speaker 5: Another white man travels the road to Pancha Pushpah.
Speaker 2: Stop the cart you need help.
Speaker 10: Ah ah, my own cart has broken the wheel. You're
Speaker 10: going perhaps to the monastery, but of Pushpa we are
Speaker 10: ah good Domityevitch borogin Imperial Russian.
Speaker 7: Then boy will travel with you. I'll please to make room.
Speaker 4: Remember my secret.
Speaker 7: And you cat may proceed your name, please, young ladies.
Speaker 5: Ileen Parley, I'm an American medical missionary.
Speaker 7: I do not approve of missionaries, but you are very.
Speaker 10: Beautiful, so Bajan will forgive you.
Speaker 7: There is this magic. Lying on the floor, he looks
Speaker 7: half dead.
Speaker 4: I am half dead. My name is Cigarsen. I am Norwegian.
Speaker 2: What is Norwegian doing in Tibet?
Speaker 4: I have been exploring the mountains.
Speaker 6: And what may I ask, is a passion doing in Tibet,
Speaker 6: Gospet in Bogin, What is.
Speaker 2: A Russian doing?
Speaker 10: You shall see, my friend to Holy Mother, Russia shall
Speaker 10: belong to Tibet. But now let us be gay. We
Speaker 10: have some hours ahead of us. You like what comes valley?
Speaker 5: I'm afraid I don't drink.
Speaker 2: Boragine will teach you to drink. Then he will sing
Speaker 2: you songs.
Speaker 4: Of his native Russia.
Speaker 7: We shall be happy.
Speaker 2: I got a few more ready actually singing.
Speaker 3: Holmes told me that every note jarred is aching weary ahead.
Speaker 2: After a few hours, the strangely.
Speaker 3: Assorted trio arrived at the gates of the monastery, the edifice,
Speaker 3: as Holmes told me, of great antiquity and of breathtaking beauty,
Speaker 3: and built in the shadow of a giant mountain. He
Speaker 3: was fed and bathed, and shortly afterwards he found himself,
Speaker 3: together with his two companions, in.
Speaker 2: The presence of the head abbot himself a man of
Speaker 2: great age and infinite wisdom.
Speaker 3: The faint chanting of religious music could be heard coming
Speaker 3: from another part.
Speaker 2: Of the monastery, as the old man.
Speaker 9: My dear miss Farley, my dear gentlemen, I have welcomed
Speaker 9: you to the monastery, and yet each one of you
Speaker 9: has come to me separately and ask that he be
Speaker 9: given permission to go to the sacred.
Speaker 4: City of Larsa.
Speaker 9: I cannot give that permission, my children.
Speaker 2: Borojin has traveled a long way.
Speaker 10: Russia will be most unhappy if it does not get
Speaker 10: the permission.
Speaker 6: I am an explorer, weven, Sir, will not that fact
Speaker 6: entitle me to some consideration.
Speaker 5: I too have traveled a great way, Sir, my children,
Speaker 5: I realize your claims, but the permission is not in
Speaker 5: my power to grant.
Speaker 9: Tibet is ruled by our Chinese openlords. In any case,
Speaker 9: I will ask you to turn your heads. A gentleman
Speaker 9: approaching us has preceded you in residence here. He also
Speaker 9: wishes to tread the road to Lasa. You have you visitors,
Speaker 9: I say yes, my son, permit me to introduce you,
Speaker 9: Sir Harvey Forester, and this is Miss Eileen Fari.
Speaker 5: How do you How do you do, Sir have.
Speaker 9: Gospbardine Borodin from Russia.
Speaker 2: How do you know?
Speaker 10: And cannot travel the world meeting an Englishman?
Speaker 9: God we push and mister Olafsigersen from Nurk.
Speaker 4: God Daksaha, how you doing?
Speaker 2: Please be seated, my children.
Speaker 9: The Chinese ruler in this province has heard of your
Speaker 9: presence here.
Speaker 4: He has announced his intention of visiting you.
Speaker 9: Before he arrives, I should like to ask you each
Speaker 9: a question. Four of you, all from different countries, have
Speaker 9: traveled here to the mountains of Tibet. But this monastery
Speaker 9: I can offer you refreshment, the opportunity of acquiring wisdom
Speaker 9: and peace. What more do you seek in Larsa? I
Speaker 9: shall ask you each that question. In turn, you, miss Farley,
Speaker 9: what do you seek?
Speaker 5: I seek the opportunity to bring both God and health
Speaker 5: to your Tibetan people, and you, mister Segus.
Speaker 6: I seek to chart the true courts of your mountains
Speaker 6: and so to bring knowledge to the world and you, Gods.
Speaker 9: Puddin Borodin is.
Speaker 10: Seek to bring about complete understanding between the great peoples
Speaker 10: of Tibet and Russia. If I succeed Saren his family
Speaker 10: may consider turning to Buddhism.
Speaker 9: Indeed, and you, Sir Harvey, as representative of the British government,
Speaker 9: what do you seek.
Speaker 7: I should not join in this contest of wishful seeking.
Speaker 2: I merely remind you, sir, that your government.
Speaker 9: Has signed a treaty with mine, and was not that
Speaker 9: treaty forced upon us by our Chinese overlords. No, my children,
Speaker 9: you have advanced brave reasons, but I cannot help remembering
Speaker 9: that the streams of Tibet fair gold nuggets the size
Speaker 9: of hazel nuts, You foreigners, and your pitiful ignorance esteem
Speaker 9: gold that signals the arrival of Watson, the Chinese emissary.
Speaker 9: Your problems will resettled, my children. I will acquaint him
Speaker 9: with your reques.
Speaker 5: Why are you smiling, mister Holmes at the.
Speaker 4: Name of the Chinese overlord?
Speaker 6: What soon, mister Boid falling into old habits and saying Emory,
Speaker 6: my dear, what son?
Speaker 5: He's going to speak?
Speaker 7: Silent?
Speaker 2: Silent? The Abbot has told me or wishes.
Speaker 7: I will hold conference American lady, and no whigin will
Speaker 7: not be allowed.
Speaker 10: Only Great Britain and Russia have treaties with my country.
Speaker 9: I insist that I have prior right over the Russian representative.
Speaker 10: I represented LA and Russia is your neighbor.
Speaker 7: I demanded my diplomatic privilege.
Speaker 2: Hellow me, I will decide these things, not you. I
Speaker 2: shall inform the British Consulate Peking.
Speaker 4: The jar.
Speaker 5: Well, mister Holmes, it looks as if you and I
Speaker 5: at any rate don't get to Lasser.
Speaker 4: You look worried.
Speaker 5: Does the journey to lass I mean so much to you?
Speaker 6: It isn't that I'm worried about the potential danger that
Speaker 6: hangs over this monastery.
Speaker 4: Violent forces are at work.
Speaker 5: Do you mean, mister Holmes.
Speaker 6: As you know, Miss Parley, I have some specialized acquaintance
Speaker 6: with these matters, and I tell you that I have
Speaker 6: rarely seen more clearly exemplified that emotional tension which leads
Speaker 6: to one thing.
Speaker 9: Murder.
Speaker 4: That is what I'm afraid of, young lady. Murder.
Speaker 2: That was what Holmes was afraid of.
Speaker 3: Later that day, as the sun was setting over the mountaintop,
Speaker 3: the old Abbitt walked slowly in the monastery gardens.
Speaker 9: Does he talk to the man who he thought, mister Cecus?
Speaker 9: And what can I do to help you? Our conversation
Speaker 9: has pleased me. You are a man of rare perception
Speaker 9: and knowledge. I grant you one worthy to enter lesser,
Speaker 9: but I can often no hope. Mister Wa has already
Speaker 9: rejected the applications of both the Englishman and the Russian.
Speaker 4: He did that, he did, my son.
Speaker 9: He told me they were both very angry and threatened
Speaker 9: him if.
Speaker 6: Anything were to happen to the Chinese emissary, would you
Speaker 6: have the right to grant permission for journey to Lasso.
Speaker 9: Yes, until then you envoy arrived if he kin, But
Speaker 9: what are you suggesting, my son? This monastery is a
Speaker 9: haven of peaces, a back water far from the troubled
Speaker 9: stream of life. No violence has ever occurred.
Speaker 4: I hope it never will.
Speaker 6: And yet the Chinese envoy was threatened, you say, reverend sir, Yes,
Speaker 6: my son, he has left the monastery.
Speaker 4: Of course.
Speaker 9: Now those who come here, even for a short visit,
Speaker 9: must break bread with us and sleep at least one night.
Speaker 9: Mister Wa is quartered in the cell you see before.
Speaker 4: And do you mind if we call on him? A
Speaker 4: reverend sir?
Speaker 9: Of course, not, my son, though you will waste your
Speaker 9: breath in talking to him. He will not give you
Speaker 9: permission to take the road to larsa.
Speaker 4: He sleeps my son, let us not disturb him.
Speaker 6: You don't mind the reverend, Sir, I must waken him.
Speaker 6: If he can't be wakened, what can be wrong?
Speaker 4: I think I know? I'm going in?
Speaker 6: There is your answer for one, sir? He is, yes, Sir,
Speaker 6: strangled with his own cue.
Speaker 9: The poor misguided man has taken his own life.
Speaker 6: No, sir, lo those marks on his shoulder has been murdered.
Speaker 4: What are we to do as it happens to ravelin? Sir?
Speaker 6: I had certain amount of experience with these matters in
Speaker 6: my own country.
Speaker 4: If I were to.
Speaker 6: Produce the murderer for you, with certain proof of his guilt.
Speaker 4: But you authorize my going to last time?
Speaker 9: Yes, since for a few days that permission is mine
Speaker 9: to give, I will grant it. You fill me with
Speaker 9: a strange confidence. But how will you find this taker
Speaker 9: of life?
Speaker 6: I can't tell you now, sir, But I shall find him.
Speaker 4: All that I acquires a little assistance from you. Of course,
Speaker 4: what is it?
Speaker 6: Let us suppose need to say push to God here
Speaker 6: and get restrict orders that no one's to enter and
Speaker 6: discompanied by me?
Speaker 9: Very well, But my son, where are you going?
Speaker 4: Before? Very long, sir, I hope to be on my
Speaker 4: way to last sun.
Speaker 1: Doctor Watson will tell us the rest of his story immediately,
Speaker 1: So I'll just take a second to remind you that hamburgers, Yep,
Speaker 1: hamburgers are practically in all American food.
Speaker 4: We all love a good hamburger.
Speaker 1: But where do you taste a juicy hamburger together with
Speaker 1: a glass of Petrie California Burgundy. Why that Patrick Burgundy
Speaker 1: is a hearty red wine. That's just the best friend
Speaker 1: a hamburger, or steak, or any kind of meat dish
Speaker 1: ever had. So remember, if you want a red wine
Speaker 1: for dinner, you want Petrie Burgundy. If you prefer a
Speaker 1: white wine, you want Petre So Turned. And if you
Speaker 1: can't make up your mind what you want, it's simple,
Speaker 1: go buy one by too, but always by Patrick P. E.
Speaker 4: T R. I Patrick, doctor Watson.
Speaker 1: It seems to me that Sherlock Holmes was in a
Speaker 1: tough spot. There he was thousands of miles from England.
Speaker 4: A murderer was running loose.
Speaker 1: Holmes was in disguise, and he hadn't got you to
Speaker 1: help him on again.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you, mister, butell, I must say I think
Speaker 3: that I was useful to my old friend, but I
Speaker 3: wasn't there, So this time he enlisted the services of
Speaker 3: Eileen Father, the American girl. Immediately after he'd left the
Speaker 3: cell of the murdered man, he'd gone to my folly and.
Speaker 2: Told over the tragedy.
Speaker 3: As I returned to the scene of the crime, he
Speaker 3: found that his instructions had been carried out and that
Speaker 3: a guard.
Speaker 2: Was barring the entrance the dead man's cell.
Speaker 6: He was a guard in front of the abbit.
Speaker 4: Gave you your orders.
Speaker 2: Yes, are you mingle in?
Speaker 6: He's closed the door behind us. Show your nerves around
Speaker 6: to this, Miss Valley. It's not a prittish sight.
Speaker 5: I've seen sudden death before, mister Holmes. In any case,
Speaker 5: I would dare appear frightened. I'm so flattered that you
Speaker 5: asked me to help you.
Speaker 6: You were the only one who knew my true identity,
Speaker 6: and it might suggest to take my old friend place.
Speaker 6: I need to watch, and I say I needed a
Speaker 6: sounded sounding brought for my deductions.
Speaker 4: Women here like a match.
Speaker 6: There we are. Now here's a candle. Oh, I wondered
Speaker 6: if it wasn't a pretty site. Hold the candle with
Speaker 6: the pleese, Miss Valley, thank you, this isn't hard to reconstruct.
Speaker 6: Killer stood behind his victim and held him by the
Speaker 6: left shoulder, so while his cue around his neck and
Speaker 6: pulled back.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, the marks herself evident. Hello, what's this for's feet?
Speaker 5: A cigarette dropped as it was burning, I should think,
Speaker 5: and now it's nothing but ash jacky dash.
Speaker 6: Now go to the visitors at the monasterismoke cigarettes yourself.
Speaker 5: The Russian is so Harvey, the Englishman.
Speaker 6: I think you may justifiably omit myself from the suspects,
Speaker 6: so that nallows us stunt.
Speaker 4: Took, miss Polly. What is it? Yeah, traces yet naked?
Speaker 6: I'm not only a tobacco ash and paperer a cardboard.
Speaker 5: But what does that signify?
Speaker 4: Mister Jesus nearly Hart.
Speaker 6: Come on, young lady, we must pay a visit to
Speaker 6: borrowd him sell at once.
Speaker 2: Arguments always are Harvey Forrester.
Speaker 4: You give me the argument.
Speaker 7: What's my dear borog You're not your dear Borigin.
Speaker 10: I'm Petro Dimitrovitch Borigin, ambassador of Holy Mother Russia.
Speaker 2: I'm a friend of yours.
Speaker 10: Come in, Come in, Come in, Oh the missionary girl
Speaker 10: and the sick Norwegian, come in we will drink vodka
Speaker 10: and I will sing Russian songs for you.
Speaker 5: We haven't come here to listen to songs. The Chinese
Speaker 5: envoy was murdered tonight, so we have been told.
Speaker 7: My dear so Harvey and I are very happy because
Speaker 7: of his death.
Speaker 2: Are we not? Well? I won't pretend I'm hot. What
Speaker 2: is it, Norwegian?
Speaker 4: You were in the cell tonight at the time of
Speaker 4: the murder.
Speaker 7: Ugh, that's a lot.
Speaker 4: I can't prove it.
Speaker 6: And that said, I've just found ashes, totally burnt cigarette
Speaker 6: ashes that included fragments of cardboard only a Russian cigarette
Speaker 6: as a cardboard mouthpiece.
Speaker 7: What you can or cannot prove is of no interest
Speaker 7: to me.
Speaker 3: He's very obsolete tonight, and we've just been having a
Speaker 3: politifical argument. Couldn't agree on a single point except on
Speaker 3: the danger of the common man.
Speaker 2: He was telling me of the most extraordinary revolution in
Speaker 2: his estates. You know, they chop off one of his hangs.
Speaker 4: D you're hand burrowed in quick which one.
Speaker 10: As God was merciful my left and one beneath your
Speaker 10: glove is made of works, my good Norwegian, He's made
Speaker 10: of works mercy for yourself, extraordinary it's.
Speaker 6: More than that. It is conclusive proof. What do you mean,
Speaker 6: mister Secret, I cannot tell you now. I mist leave
Speaker 6: you here. Let me warn you the three of you will.
Speaker 4: Be well advised to keep an eye on each other.
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, I'm see the abbot, Oh, mister Secrets, because now
Speaker 6: I know who matter Fatsom.
Speaker 9: The pink fingers of dawn are stealing across the mountaintop
Speaker 9: my son.
Speaker 4: Soon you will be on your way to lacer Yes,
Speaker 4: Reverend Sir, you have kept your promise. You kept yours,
Speaker 4: mister Sigerson.
Speaker 9: The Chinese soldiers have arrived and the Taker of Life
Speaker 9: has been.
Speaker 4: Given into their custody.
Speaker 9: Before you leave, my son, I want you to do
Speaker 9: something for me, anything graver on, sir, What is it?
Speaker 9: The hooden figure in the corner is that of the
Speaker 9: monastery scribe.
Speaker 4: He keeps our annimals.
Speaker 9: I want you to explain for our records how you
Speaker 9: knew which one of the three was the take of Life.
Speaker 4: It was not difficult, sir.
Speaker 6: The killer had gripped Watson's shoulder with the left hand
Speaker 6: while the right was used to strangle him. Therefore, the
Speaker 6: Russian Borodin could not be the icular since his left
Speaker 6: hand was off fish.
Speaker 4: Quite so, it was, as you told me, made of wax.
Speaker 6: Then, but the glue of the cigarette pointed directly to
Speaker 6: the Russian. Therefore it had obviously been planted there deliberately
Speaker 6: to incriminate him. Now, there is no training police force
Speaker 6: in Tibet would indeed no police.
Speaker 4: There is no crime here, my son. But continue, Why
Speaker 4: should the sigarette.
Speaker 6: Be planted between criminate the Russian unless there was someone
Speaker 6: capable of making the deduction from a handful of the
Speaker 6: great ash. Therefore, the murderer was the one person who
Speaker 6: knew my true identity. Miss Eileen Foley supposed mission no missionary,
Speaker 6: as it transpired when she confessed, No America, no secret
Speaker 6: service agents of a medical German origin seeking to reach
Speaker 6: Lassa before the Russians.
Speaker 4: And I'm furiated by Batsom's denial.
Speaker 6: Of passage any secret services that are off without such employee.
Speaker 9: She will pay for her mortal sins. May she redeem
Speaker 9: herself with her next place on the wheeling.
Speaker 4: My son, Yes, Reverend sir, you are about to leave me,
Speaker 4: and I shall never see you again.
Speaker 2: Though evil and.
Speaker 6: Death came to pant A Pushbar and to my.
Speaker 2: Monastery, in the caravan that brought you here.
Speaker 4: I shall miss you, my son.
Speaker 6: I shall miss you greatly, and I you reverence, Sir,
Speaker 6: Would you consider staying here? I can only offer you peace,
Speaker 6: a shelter from the outside world, and quiet companionship. Three
Speaker 6: great gifts, but I cannot take them. My work is
Speaker 6: not done. I must go on, of course, my son.
Speaker 6: It was an old man's dream. One last question, What
Speaker 6: is it so you spoke of your true identity?
Speaker 4: Just now?
Speaker 2: Who are you? My son?
Speaker 6: Reverend Sir? I cannot tell even you the answer to
Speaker 6: that question. One day perhaps, but not now. Let us
Speaker 6: just say that I've wandered through a world of trouble,
Speaker 6: just as you have remained tankled in a world of peace.
Speaker 6: I hope, Sir, that.
Speaker 4: We should meet again. I hope so too.
Speaker 6: Goodbye, my son, Goodbye, Reverend Sir, goodbye,
