Speaker 1: The Original and Immortal Stories of Sir Arthur Colan Doyle
Speaker 1: dramatized Daniel with Sir Ralph Richardson as Doctor Watson and
Speaker 1: Sir John Gielgud in the role of Sherlock Holme.
Speaker 2: I shall never forget.
Speaker 1: That April morning when I asher be is Helen Stoner
Speaker 1: into our city room. She's the most attractive young lady,
Speaker 1: dressed in black when heavenly veiled and appeared much districted.
Speaker 3: It's not the cold to make this ship, mister Holmes
Speaker 3: fhear terror. I can stand this train no longer. I
Speaker 3: should go mad if it continues. I no want to
Speaker 3: turn to Even my fiance believes in my imagination, must have.
Speaker 1: Fear will soon set matters to write. So I no
Speaker 1: doubt my name is Helen Stoner.
Speaker 3: When I'm living with my step father, who is the
Speaker 3: last survivor one of the oldest families in England, the
Speaker 3: Royal ut of Stoke, Moran on the western border of.
Speaker 2: Study, the name is familiar to me in them. The
Speaker 2: family used to be very rich.
Speaker 3: Now there is nothing left say the few acres and
Speaker 3: an old house crushed under a heavy mortgage.
Speaker 1: Eight years ago, when my mother died was your mother
Speaker 1: a wealthy woman.
Speaker 3: She had a fortune of some thousand pounds a year,
Speaker 3: which she bequeathed to doctor Roylet entirely so long as
Speaker 3: we resided with him, with the provision that a certain
Speaker 3: annual son should be allowed to both Julia and myself
Speaker 3: if either it us should marry.
Speaker 1: But tell me, did doctor Roylot continue to practice after
Speaker 1: your return to England.
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: Not.
Speaker 2: After the death of my mother.
Speaker 3: He took my sister and me to live with him
Speaker 3: at Stoke, Moran, and for a time we were quite
Speaker 3: happy together.
Speaker 2: But a terrible change began to come over our stepfather.
Speaker 3: He shut himself up and came up to indulge in
Speaker 3: violent quarrels with his neighbors. He's ended by becoming literally
Speaker 3: feared in the village. He has no friends at all
Speaker 3: but the wandering bands of gypsies he allows to camp.
Speaker 2: In his grounds.
Speaker 3: He's a collector of strange animals. He has an Indian
Speaker 3: cheetah and a baboon which wander freely over the estate,
Speaker 3: and was feared by the villagers almost.
Speaker 2: As much as he is.
Speaker 3: No servant would stay with us. We had to do
Speaker 3: all the work of the house. He could imagine what
Speaker 3: it was like for my sister me and when she died.
Speaker 3: Though she was only thirty, Julia's hair had begun to
Speaker 3: turn white.
Speaker 2: Even his mind had.
Speaker 3: Nor sister bar just two years ago, soon after she
Speaker 3: has become engaged to be married, only a fortnight before
Speaker 3: the wedding, she died in terrible secnten.
Speaker 2: Did your stepfather offer any objection I married. No, he
Speaker 2: didn't appear to.
Speaker 1: The circumstances of your sister's death. It please be precise
Speaker 1: at the detail.
Speaker 3: It's easy to be so, for every event of that
Speaker 3: dreadful time is feared into my memory. As I said,
Speaker 3: the manor house is very old, and only one wing
Speaker 3: is now use. The bedrooms in this wing are on
Speaker 3: the ground floor, first my stepfather's, then my sisters and
Speaker 3: then mine. There's no communication between them, but they open
Speaker 3: on the same carri door and look out out of
Speaker 3: the same lawn. That night, Doctor Roylost, my stepfather.
Speaker 2: Had gone to his room early, but was not yet.
Speaker 3: Asleep, for my sister was troubled by the strong smell.
Speaker 2: Of his Indian cigar. She left her room and came
Speaker 2: into mine.
Speaker 3: Where she sat chatting about her coming wedding. Well, Helena,
Speaker 3: how are you getting back to bed?
Speaker 2: He must be asleep by now, my way. Have you
Speaker 2: ever heard a strange whistle in the dead of night?
Speaker 2: A whistle? No?
Speaker 1: Why did?
Speaker 3: The last few nights about three in the morning, I've
Speaker 3: been wakened by a low, clear whistle. I haven't heard it,
Speaker 3: But then I sleep more heavily than you do, boy,
Speaker 3: and it's of no consequence.
Speaker 2: Good night. I couldn't sleep that night. I'd locked my
Speaker 2: door after Julia left and heard her love hers too.
Speaker 3: We always locked our doors for fear of the cheetah
Speaker 3: and a baboon that were left out.
Speaker 2: Every night in the grounds. I remember that it was
Speaker 2: a wild night.
Speaker 3: The wind was hounding outside in the rain and bitting
Speaker 3: against the window.
Speaker 1: I heard a terrible premonition of evil.
Speaker 3: And suddenly, through the storm I knew my sister would screamed.
Speaker 3: I sprang from my bed, wrapped ashore around me, and
Speaker 3: rushed into the corner door. As I opened my door,
Speaker 3: I heard.
Speaker 2: A distant whistle.
Speaker 3: A whistle, and a clanging sound, as if a massive metal.
Speaker 2: Had fallen somewhere.
Speaker 3: As I land towards it my sister's doors, I knocked
Speaker 3: as slowly swung open the light of the lamp. I
Speaker 3: saw her standing there, her face danced with terror, her
Speaker 3: hands groping for help, her whole figure swaying.
Speaker 2: Tong thro and Nil gave way and she fell to
Speaker 2: the ground.
Speaker 3: She only screamed the one thing before she died in
Speaker 3: my arms. It was the band, the stickled band.
Speaker 1: It seems that Julius Turner's death was carefully investigated by
Speaker 1: the local coroner. The doctor Rylett's conduct had been notorious
Speaker 1: in the conte and foul player was suspected, but no
Speaker 1: satisfactory explanation of the tragedy was ever found. The doctor
Speaker 1: had been asleep in his room, the scream had waited him.
Speaker 1: Julia's room had been locked on the inside, the windows
Speaker 1: heavily shuttered, the chimney was barred by iron staples.
Speaker 2: It was certain that Julia Stoner had been quite alone
Speaker 2: when she had met her end. There was nothing to
Speaker 2: indicate how she had met it.
Speaker 1: There were no marks of violence on the body, and
Speaker 1: the doctors could find no evidence of poison.
Speaker 2: It's my belief that she.
Speaker 3: Died of sheer terror and nervous shock.
Speaker 1: Though what it was to frighten I cannot imagine were
Speaker 1: any gypsies camping in the plantation at the.
Speaker 2: Time, Yes, there had nearly always come there.
Speaker 1: And what did you gather from her illusionment to the
Speaker 1: speckled dam?
Speaker 3: Sometimes I've thought it was merely delirium. Sometimes I wonder
Speaker 3: if it might have referred to some band of people,
Speaker 3: perhaps those very gypsies in the plantation with their spotted
Speaker 3: handkerchiefs on their heads.
Speaker 2: He's a very deep water, as Miss Stone up, please
Speaker 2: go on.
Speaker 3: Two years have passed since then, and until lately my
Speaker 3: life has been lonelier than ever. A month ago, however,
Speaker 3: I became engaged to be married to a mister Armitage,
Speaker 3: a neighbor arising, a very dear friend. I feared my
Speaker 3: stepfather might offer objections, but he has made no difficulties,
Speaker 3: and we are to be married later this spring.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Two days ago some repairs were started in the
Speaker 2: west wing, so.
Speaker 3: That I've had to move out of my own room
Speaker 3: into the room next door, the room which.
Speaker 2: My sister died. Last night, I lay awake, thinking of
Speaker 2: her terrible faith.
Speaker 3: I suddenly heard, in the silence of the night that
Speaker 3: same low whistle.
Speaker 1: Though her room was locked and there appeared to be
Speaker 1: nothing wrong, when she sprang out of bed and lit
Speaker 1: her lamp and then Stona, being too.
Speaker 2: Enrified to go back to bed. As soon as it
Speaker 2: was light, she caught an early morning claim to London that.
Speaker 1: Comes straight round to ask the advice of Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 2: You were done very widely. So are you sure you've
Speaker 2: told me everything? Yes?
Speaker 1: Everything? I think you are still shielding your stepfather, Miss Stone,
Speaker 1: isn't at the mark of his grip there on your wrist.
Speaker 2: He's a hard man. Perhaps he hardly knows his own strength.
Speaker 1: This is a very deep business, and from what you've
Speaker 1: told me, there may not be a moment to lose
Speaker 1: if we were to come down to Stoke more than today.
Speaker 1: Would it be possible to see over the bedrooms without
Speaker 1: the knowledge of your stepfather?
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 3: He told me last night he was coming to London
Speaker 3: for the day.
Speaker 1: There should be now under this turkey excellent and we
Speaker 1: shall both come. What are you going to do yourself?
Speaker 3: I have one or two things to attend to in
Speaker 3: town that I shall be home shortly afternoon, and.
Speaker 1: You may expect us earlier this afternoon, Miss Turner.
Speaker 2: Goodbye for the present.
Speaker 1: We discussed many possible theories. After Miss Turner had left,
Speaker 1: we were in the midst of our deliberations when we
Speaker 1: received another visitor, Which of.
Speaker 2: You is Holmes my name's but you have the advantage
Speaker 2: of me.
Speaker 1: I am doctor Grimes de roy lift stonewareun.
Speaker 2: My stepdaughter has been here. What has she been saying
Speaker 2: to you? It is a little cold at the time
Speaker 2: of the year. What has she been saying to you?
Speaker 1: I have heard that the crocuses promised very well die
Speaker 1: you'll put me off to you.
Speaker 2: I know Miss Conor has been to see you, but
Speaker 2: don't show there medline by your pairs. I'm a dangerous
Speaker 2: man to fall our love.
Speaker 1: See that you kick us up out of micro Ah like.
Speaker 2: This poker, I'll.
Speaker 1: An amiable person bending our poker almost doub observed.
Speaker 2: I am not quite so bulky.
Speaker 1: But if he remained, I might have shown him that
Speaker 1: my grip was not much more feeble than his own. There,
Speaker 1: I think that's just about stake again. You know, idea,
Speaker 1: what this little incident gives a news as to our investigations.
Speaker 1: We shall certainly see what we can find. That's take more.
Speaker 1: This afternoon, Good afternoon.
Speaker 2: Miss Sterner. You said to have.
Speaker 1: Been as good as our work have been waiting for you.
Speaker 1: Now we must make the best use of our time,
Speaker 1: So kindly take us at once to the room of
Speaker 1: the other Weeksamin. The building was of gray nitching blocked stone,
Speaker 1: with a high central portion and two curving wounds like
Speaker 1: the paws of a crab thrown out on each side.
Speaker 1: The central block and the east wing were empty and
Speaker 1: in poor repair. The lines to the windows and blue
Speaker 1: smoke curving up from the kidneys showed that part of
Speaker 1: the west wing in which the sanity resided some scaffold
Speaker 1: egmond being erected against the end wall, and the stone
Speaker 1: work had been broken into it, but there was no work.
Speaker 2: When about Homes examined the.
Speaker 1: Outsides of the three bedroom windows with the closest attendance.
Speaker 2: This I think he belonged to the room in which
Speaker 2: you used to sleep.
Speaker 1: The center one is your sister's room, and the one
Speaker 1: next to the main building is doctor Roylot's. Yes, but
Speaker 1: I'm hitting in the middle one, of course, tending the
Speaker 1: alterations as I understand right away, But it will seemed
Speaker 1: to be in a pressing.
Speaker 2: Need for affairs to that end wall there were none.
Speaker 3: I believe that it was an excuse to move me
Speaker 3: from my own room into my sister's ah.
Speaker 1: That is suggestive. Well, these windows and shutters are quite firm.
Speaker 1: No one could possibly get in this way if they
Speaker 1: were firmly bolted on the inside. We shall have to
Speaker 1: see if the rooms themselves sow any light on this matter.
Speaker 1: A small side door leading to the whitewashed corridor from
Speaker 1: which the three bedrooms opened, Holdens passed once into the
Speaker 1: room in which Helen's shoneer was now sleeping in the
Speaker 1: middle one of the three, the bedroom in which.
Speaker 2: Her sister had met her death.
Speaker 1: It was a whole little room, played in a furnished
Speaker 1: Holden's eyes traveled.
Speaker 2: Round and round, up and down, taking in every detail.
Speaker 1: What did that bell communicate with the housekeeper room? It
Speaker 1: looks newer than the other thing. Yes, it was put
Speaker 1: in a.
Speaker 2: Couple of years ago, just before night. Can't think why
Speaker 2: she certainly never used it.
Speaker 1: Indeed, for such a nice long bell pull that it convenient.
Speaker 1: I should have thought. Potastol hangs down to the very pillow.
Speaker 1: Let me see why it's a dummy, won't you bring No,
Speaker 1: not even attached to a wire.
Speaker 2: You can see it's.
Speaker 1: Fastened to a hook up there just above them. It's
Speaker 1: opening the ventilator.
Speaker 3: Okay, it's surd I never edited before, very schange.
Speaker 1: What fool of the builder would open the ventilator into
Speaker 1: the next room when you might have made it through
Speaker 1: the outer wall into the fresh air.
Speaker 3: So that's also quite modern. It was done about the
Speaker 3: same time as the billop. There were several little changes
Speaker 3: cutted out about that.
Speaker 1: Time, shortly before your sister's death. Why yes, we moved
Speaker 1: into the bedroom next door, the room of doctor Robert.
Speaker 2: It was larger than his stepdaughters, but just as train.
Speaker 1: They furnished a camp bed, an armchair, a plain wooden
Speaker 1: chair against the wall, a round the table, and a
Speaker 1: large iron safe with the principal things which.
Speaker 2: Met their eye.
Speaker 1: Once again, Holmes examined them all with accused interest.
Speaker 2: In one corner of the day he found a small
Speaker 2: dog lash naughty so as to make a loop of
Speaker 2: the whipcorn. Oh, this is interesting. What do you make
Speaker 2: of that?
Speaker 1: Watson is common enough, flash, I don't see why it
Speaker 1: should be tied into a loop. And that's not quite
Speaker 1: so common as it, Miss Sterner, What does your stepfather
Speaker 1: keep in the safe?
Speaker 2: Here? His Disney papers oh, you've seen inside them only
Speaker 2: once some years ago. It was full of papers. Then
Speaker 2: there wasn't a cat in it by any chance. No,
Speaker 2: what's this change idea?
Speaker 1: Well then why the saucer of milk standing.
Speaker 2: On the top of it?
Speaker 3: And no, we don't keep a cat. But as I
Speaker 3: told you that the chee turned to the blue ah.
Speaker 1: Yes of all, well, a cheetah is just a big
Speaker 1: cat and yet a also, no, it doesn't go very far.
Speaker 2: As satisfied, I dare say. Now, just one more point,
Speaker 2: let me examine this wooden chair.
Speaker 1: Very interesting, And now, miss Stern, I want you to
Speaker 1: do listen carefully and follow my advice and avory respect.
Speaker 1: I assure you that I'm in your hands as to
Speaker 1: hold your life may depend on it. The matter is
Speaker 1: too serious for any hesitation in the first place. Then
Speaker 1: doctor Watson and I must spend the night.
Speaker 2: Here in your room. Let's have a guest door. Oh no,
Speaker 2: let me explain, my dear Watson.
Speaker 1: You must turn him at retire to your room on
Speaker 1: pretense for the headache. When your stepfather comes back. When
Speaker 1: you hear him retire for the night into this next doorroom.
Speaker 1: You must open the shutters of your window. Undo the
Speaker 1: hasp put your lamp.
Speaker 2: There as a signal to was you shall see it
Speaker 2: from other day in the bellach.
Speaker 1: Then go back.
Speaker 2: Into your old room.
Speaker 1: Despite the return, will start Purdy to work for one night.
Speaker 1: Oh yes, of course, we shall spend the night in
Speaker 1: the middle room, and then we shall be able to
Speaker 1: investigate the cause of this noise, which is sty statue.
Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes and I had no difficulty in engaging rooms
Speaker 1: at the village, in from which we could command a
Speaker 1: view of the inhabited wing of Stoke.
Speaker 2: Modern mana house.
Speaker 1: At dusk we saw doctor Grime's bay Roolet drive past,
Speaker 1: lashing his horse. The trap turned into the Nana drive,
Speaker 1: and in a few moments we saw sudden light spring
Speaker 1: up among the trees as the lamp was lit in
Speaker 1: one of the sitting rooms.
Speaker 2: You know what's night?
Speaker 1: Come scruples about taking you tonight as a distinctive element
Speaker 1: of danger.
Speaker 2: Can I be of the system your presence might be invaluable?
Speaker 2: Then I'll certainly come. But you speak of danger. You
Speaker 2: obviously seem more these rooms and was visible to me.
Speaker 1: No, But I fancy I may have deduced a little more.
Speaker 1: I imagine that you saw all I did. I saw
Speaker 1: nothing remarkable save the devil world. But what purf you
Speaker 1: saw the ventilator too, Yes, there's nothing very unusual about that.
Speaker 1: There's a just a curious coincidence in dates. A ventilator
Speaker 1: is made, a cord is hunging, and a lady who
Speaker 1: sleeps in the bed below dies.
Speaker 2: Does that not strike You can't as yet see any connection.
Speaker 1: Did you observe anything very peculiar about the bed? No,
Speaker 1: it was clamped to the floor so that they must
Speaker 1: always be in the same position relative to the ventilator
Speaker 1: and the bell rope hose.
Speaker 2: I seem to see dimay once you're driving at it.
Speaker 2: We're only just in time to prevent some subtle and
Speaker 2: horrible crime.
Speaker 1: Yes, what's the nighting? We shall have harders enough before
Speaker 1: the night robe.
Speaker 2: About nine o'clock the light among the trees was extinguished,
Speaker 2: and all was dark in the manor house.
Speaker 1: Two hours passed slowly away, and then suddenly a single
Speaker 1: bright light shone out from the darkness of the west wind.
Speaker 2: Let her single. It comes from the middle window. Come on.
Speaker 1: There was a little difficulty in entering the grounds through
Speaker 1: a hole in the park wall. We crossed the lawn,
Speaker 1: and we came to the open window, when out of
Speaker 1: a clump of laurel bushes there darted what seemed to
Speaker 1: be a hugeous and disported child, which threw itself on
Speaker 1: the grass with writhing limb, and then ran swiftly into
Speaker 1: the darkness.
Speaker 2: Why heavens you know, did you see that? Homes here?
Speaker 2: A nice household? That was the baboon quick quickened through
Speaker 2: the windows before we visited by the cheetahs.
Speaker 1: We silently climbed inside, closing the shutters and moving the
Speaker 1: lamp on to the table. Holmes cast his eyes round
Speaker 1: the room. All was as we had seen.
Speaker 2: It that afternoon. We would sit without a light. You
Speaker 2: can see it through the ventilator. Yes, don't fall asleep,
Speaker 2: you're very light.
Speaker 3: Way to bend uponnet at y'll dissed already in case
Speaker 3: you should need it.
Speaker 1: I took out my revolver, and I laid it on
Speaker 1: the corner of the table. Omes I bought a long
Speaker 1: staining cane with him, which he laid on the bed
Speaker 1: beside him. Next to it, he placed a box of
Speaker 1: matches in a candle. Then he turned out the lamp.
Speaker 2: And we were left in utter darkness.
Speaker 1: How shall I ever forget that dreadful LIBI From outside
Speaker 1: came the occasional.
Speaker 2: Cry of a bird of the night, and once at
Speaker 2: our very window a long.
Speaker 1: Drawn catlike wine, which told us that the cheetah was
Speaker 1: indeed at liberty.
Speaker 2: Twelve o'clock struck one o'clock, two o'clock three. Still we
Speaker 2: sat waiting silently for that the night before.
Speaker 1: Suddenly there was a great gleam of light on the ventilator.
Speaker 2: It vanished immediately burning the smell of burning oil.
Speaker 4: He the nkel some on the next room lit a
Speaker 4: dark cleft. I heard a gentle sound of movement. Then
Speaker 4: for half an hour the skilenk.
Speaker 2: Again one points another sound, a very gentle seal, even
Speaker 2: sound like that of a small jet of scheme eskinkling
Speaker 2: from a kettle.
Speaker 4: You see it, not see it?
Speaker 1: Fighting a match hold clip from the day was lighting
Speaker 1: pure and say kay a the bell pull as the
Speaker 1: match glad. I had a n clear second whittle in
Speaker 1: the groom. I could still not see what Homes was
Speaker 1: at tackle.
Speaker 2: He so fancy.
Speaker 1: All I could see he was for horror, unble loathing
Speaker 1: on his tale grown page.
Speaker 2: That's scream. It was horrible what can it mean?
Speaker 1: It means not? From the door over, take your pip
Speaker 1: flum coming me in doctor Roylot's room. In doctor rolet room,
Speaker 1: he was a strange and terrible sight of mad eyes.
Speaker 1: On the table stood the dark ramthem with a shutter
Speaker 1: half open, playing a brilliant beam of light upon the
Speaker 1: iron safe, the door of which was a guard beside
Speaker 1: his table's pet. Doctor grindsby Roylet, having a long breaking down.
Speaker 2: His chin was copped upwards and his.
Speaker 1: Eyes were fixed in a bulletful.
Speaker 2: Rigid stare. At the corner of the ceiling. About his brow,
Speaker 2: he had a peculiar yellow gun with.
Speaker 1: Brownish stickles, which seemed to be bound tightly round head.
Speaker 2: Damn what means the speckled dam The speckled damn around
Speaker 2: the head of the dead man was.
Speaker 1: A snake, a dead year snake in India, an adder,
Speaker 1: a formbadder and dust and Brown's ball.
Speaker 2: Violet I dyed ten seconds after that stake had bitten.
Speaker 1: Their violence does includively coil upon the violin, and the
Speaker 1: schema falls into the pit that he digs from another
Speaker 1: there a sust this creature back into them as he
Speaker 1: stroke home. Drew the dog with swiftly from the dead
Speaker 1: man's lap, and throwing the knotted loot round the reptile's neck,
Speaker 1: drew it from its horrid perch, and threw.
Speaker 2: It into your hand.
Speaker 1: See so now, my dear fellow, we can remove the
Speaker 1: stn out of some tape of shelter and let the
Speaker 1: country police know what was happening.
Speaker 2: Back in our room. Was Baker Street that evening phone
Speaker 2: his linking type and filled in a field the gap.
Speaker 1: I had come to an entirely erroneous conclusion, which shows
Speaker 1: my dear watching how dangerous it over is.
Speaker 2: The reasons and insufficient.
Speaker 1: Data, the presence of the gypsies, and the use of
Speaker 1: the word banned. That poor girl Julia obviously adils the
Speaker 1: snake as she struck a match. Well, there was decision
Speaker 1: to put me on an entirely wrong scent.
Speaker 2: I only corrected my mistake, and.
Speaker 1: I saw how impossible it was to enter the room
Speaker 1: either by the door or the window. The bell rope,
Speaker 1: the ventilator and the camp there then gave rise to
Speaker 1: the suspicion.
Speaker 2: But the ropes were there.
Speaker 1: As a bridge for something passing.
Speaker 2: Through the hole and coming down to the base. The
Speaker 2: idea of the snake instantly occurred to me, for as.
Speaker 1: He knew or lady the doctor had his own sply
Speaker 1: of strange pets.
Speaker 2: From India, and the whistle and the klang, the whistle
Speaker 2: of the.
Speaker 1: Doctor's signal to recall the snake before the morning light
Speaker 1: could reveal it to the victim. After all, once it
Speaker 1: had come down the bill robe, it might or might
Speaker 1: not have bitten the victim. But two or later the
Speaker 1: doctor used it would. I had come to these conclusions
Speaker 1: before I entered this room.
Speaker 2: You seem to reduce something with in the wooden chair
Speaker 2: before you had.
Speaker 1: To stand on that brief the ventinator, the forcer of loop,
Speaker 1: the loop of foot cord, the iron safe, but enough
Speaker 1: to be spelling it doubts that might have remained the
Speaker 1: metallic pang. I suppose with the doctor sutting in the
Speaker 1: snake in the safe again exactly, and not the window
Speaker 1: shutter being.
Speaker 2: Replaced as at first I had supposed.
Speaker 1: The blurred of my cane of court drove the group
Speaker 1: back to the ventilator and the large distemper it was
Speaker 1: adle to buy the first person afore so, in a
Speaker 1: way I must be responsible for doctor Roylott's death.
Speaker 2: But I cannot say it. I waited the heavenly on
Speaker 2: my conscience.
Speaker 1: A draw up your chair to the far, my dear fellow,
Speaker 1: and be so good as to hand me my violin.
Speaker 1: The only problem we have to solve now, my dear Watson,
Speaker 1: is how to while away these rather chimney apron evening.
Speaker 1: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, based on the original stories
Speaker 1: of Sir ARTHURH. Colin Doyle, have been dramatized a new
Speaker 1: with original music composed by Sydney Bought. Sir Ralph Witchardson

Speaker 1: that of Sherlock Holmes. A program was produced by Harry
