I must admit I'm puzzled. 328 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.399 We have a self confessed murderer. Now the nearest thing 329 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.879 we can find to a corpse with a pair of 330 00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:25.799 dead canaries. 331 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:37.120 We'll bring you the rest of doctor Watson's story in. 332 00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.679 Just a second. A second i'll take if you don't mind, 333 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.679 to ask you if you've ever had a glass of 334 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:45.440 Petree California's sherry. Because if you haven't, boy, you want 335 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.440 a remedy that situation, Prato, try that Petree sherry before 336 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:53.200 dinner some evening. Look at its clear amber color, Smell 337 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.720 the fragrances luscious grape, and get a sample of that 338 00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:01.480 Petree flavor. Mmmm. That pet sherry can turn the usual 339 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:04.960 before dim law into a main event. And say, if 340 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.679 you like your sherry dry as I do, wait to 341 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.600 taste Petree pale dry sherry. Is that ever good? But 342 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:14.840 after all, when it's a Petree wine, it's always a 343 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:29.159 good wine.
