Sherlock Holmes - Second Generation

<v Speaker 1>This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
<v Speaker 1>transmitted to our men and women over is by shortwave
<v Speaker 1>and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
<v Speaker 2>Petree Wine brings.
<v Speaker 1>You Dazo Wackborne and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures
<v Speaker 1>of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took
<v Speaker 1>time to bring you good wine.
<v Speaker 3>Invites you to.
<v Speaker 1>Listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he
<v Speaker 1>shared with his old friend, that master Detective Schwock Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>And as for me, well, I'd like to tell you
<v Speaker 1>about a wine it's just wonderful before dinner. And that
<v Speaker 1>wine is Petrie California's sherry. You know about sherry, of course,
<v Speaker 1>but do you know about Pety sherry. That Petrie sherry
<v Speaker 1>is the kind of wine you can really talk about.
<v Speaker 3>It has the look of quality, a.
<v Speaker 1>Rich, dark amber color, and it has the aroma, the
<v Speaker 1>bouquet as the experts call it, of one it for
<v Speaker 1>sun ripened grapes and flavor. Well, if you want your
<v Speaker 1>wine that tastes good, pet Tree Sherry is the one
<v Speaker 1>you want.
<v Speaker 3>It's really delicious.
<v Speaker 1>Oh and incidentally, if you like your sherry on the
<v Speaker 1>dry side, you know not. Sweet Petree makes a pale,
<v Speaker 1>dry sherry that's out of this world. Take home a
<v Speaker 1>bottle of Petree sherry. Serve it by itself or with
<v Speaker 1>orders or cocktail sandwiches, but serve it proudly because the
<v Speaker 1>name Petrie is the proudest name in the history of
<v Speaker 1>American wines. And I'll prior weekly visit with the good
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure he's expecting us to doctor. Oh no, no,
<v Speaker 3>don't get off. You look much too comfortable.
<v Speaker 4>Take if you're a coach, and come and join me.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I enjoyed your story of a scandal in Bohemia
<v Speaker 1>last week, doctor, and tonight.
<v Speaker 4>You promised us a sequel.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, that's right, it's about tell a sequel to place
<v Speaker 5>over twenty years afterwards.
<v Speaker 4>In nineteen hundred and nine to be elected Shellock Holmes
<v Speaker 4>was living on his Sussex pe farm. Was only in June.
<v Speaker 4>I remember that.
<v Speaker 5>I received a telegram from the great Man asking me
<v Speaker 5>to come and spend a long weekend with him.
<v Speaker 3>And I'm sure you needed no urging to accept the invitation.
<v Speaker 4>None, mister Bardo, none at all.
<v Speaker 5>I hadn't seen Holmes for some time and this fact,
<v Speaker 5>combined with my rather indifferent health, found me on the
<v Speaker 5>Eastbourne train a few hours.
<v Speaker 4>After receiving the telegram.
<v Speaker 5>A dog cart was at the station to meet me,
<v Speaker 5>and after a brisk drive across the Downs, I found myself.
<v Speaker 4>Once more with my good friend. He looked somewhat older
<v Speaker 4>than when I had last seen.
<v Speaker 5>Him, but as he spoke to me, I realized, from
<v Speaker 5>the keenness of his voice and the sparkle in his
<v Speaker 5>eye that Sherlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>Would never really be old.
<v Speaker 5>After a while, our conversation lapsed into the comfortable silence that,
<v Speaker 5>because he could tap on me, exists only between friends.
<v Speaker 5>And there, as the sun was setting, Holmes picked up
<v Speaker 5>his beloved violin and began to play some haunting melody.
<v Speaker 5>As he lay back, eyes half closed, his long, thin
<v Speaker 5>fingers caressing the instrument, a wave of nostralia swept over there.
<v Speaker 5>I thought of the many years that we'd spent together,
<v Speaker 5>of the exciting adventures that we had shared during the
<v Speaker 5>old days.
<v Speaker 4>In Baker Street. Beautiful, quite beautiful.
<v Speaker 3>Thank you Watson.
<v Speaker 1>M M. You look uncommonly wistfullyer Jan, you're thinking of
<v Speaker 1>the old days, yes, Holmes, I was so was I
<v Speaker 1>so well. Those were exciting times. But it's company to
<v Speaker 1>think that now we will not be disturbed by a
<v Speaker 1>dangling doorbell follows by some poor.
<v Speaker 3>Devil in trouble.
<v Speaker 1>Nowadays, my greatest excitements are connected with the segregation of
<v Speaker 1>the Queen Bee and the night time proclivities of Charles Augustus,
<v Speaker 1>my Tomcat.
<v Speaker 5>I still find it hard to think of you in
<v Speaker 5>retirement homes. Do you ever consider returning to active practice?
<v Speaker 1>Or I consider it occasionally and then reject the idea
<v Speaker 1>and the should work only up to the peak of visibility.
<v Speaker 3>I'm past nine.
<v Speaker 4>Nonsense homes just alert as.
<v Speaker 3>Over you were mentally, perhaps they're not physically.
<v Speaker 4>Would we consider handling a small problem in in England with.
<v Speaker 3>Its personal problem that defects you, My dear Chap. You
<v Speaker 3>know I'll do anything I can.
<v Speaker 4>It's exactly my problem, Homes. But it was a charming
<v Speaker 4>young girl on the train.
<v Speaker 3>We we got into conversation, and you don't age in, Chap.
<v Speaker 3>You are just as susceptible as ever.
<v Speaker 4>No, no, no, no, Homes, let me finish. She said
<v Speaker 4>that you knew her mother quite well.
<v Speaker 3>Her mother Allen, Oh, yes, Deve's what is it.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry to disturb you, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>Your man said I might come in my master, mister
<v Speaker 1>Linton Stanley instructed me to deliver the snow.
<v Speaker 3>Oh thank you.
<v Speaker 2>He yes, also instructed me to wait for a reply.
<v Speaker 3>What confounded infidence? You said, master, that there's no answer
<v Speaker 3>to this letter.
<v Speaker 4>But he told me I must get a reply.
<v Speaker 1>If you don't, stan Standard that I will instruct my
<v Speaker 1>solicitors to reply to his message in due course.
<v Speaker 3>Sir, that's all, dealers. You may go pretty good, sir.
<v Speaker 4>What did the note say? Hum?
<v Speaker 3>Read it for yourself.
<v Speaker 5>Keep yourselthy, these where they belong. One of my guests
<v Speaker 5>is stung yesterday. If this happens again, I'll have the
<v Speaker 5>police run you out of his place. Lord, an offensive letter.
<v Speaker 3>The man himself is even more offensive.
<v Speaker 1>He's a retired manufacturer who thinks that his immense wealth
<v Speaker 1>entitles him to domineer over the local residence.
<v Speaker 3>Oh but let not.
<v Speaker 1>Spoil a nice sunny afternoon by discussing him. Please continue
<v Speaker 1>with the sorry of the young lady that you've met
<v Speaker 1>on the Yes, I'd like to.
<v Speaker 4>All little things seems in dreadful trouble. I wish you
<v Speaker 4>would help her.
<v Speaker 3>You say that she told you were her mother knew me? Yes,
<v Speaker 3>what's her name?
<v Speaker 4>Norton? I really Norton Norton.
<v Speaker 3>I don't seem to recall. Over the course, where is
<v Speaker 3>the girl Watson?
<v Speaker 4>She's staying at the Red Lne in the village.
<v Speaker 3>Then ring her on the telephone and ask her to
<v Speaker 3>come over and get as fast as she can. Of
<v Speaker 3>course I'll help her.
<v Speaker 4>I'm related at Holmes. But what made you change your
<v Speaker 4>mind so suddenly?
<v Speaker 3>Do you remember?
<v Speaker 1>It's a shock that you can't remember. I really Adler,
<v Speaker 1>sure you haven't forgotten. In the case you call the
<v Speaker 1>scandal in Bohemia, eye was completely fool while Julius.
<v Speaker 4>This is, of course you always referred to as the woman.
<v Speaker 4>But how does Irene Notton fit into the picture?
<v Speaker 1>I really Idler married a barrister named Jeffrey. Tell miss
<v Speaker 1>Notton to come at wets Watson. She's the daughter of
<v Speaker 1>the woman.
<v Speaker 6>Mister Holmes. I had too much about you from mother.
<v Speaker 6>She says, you're the cleverest man in England.
<v Speaker 3>Your mother flatters me, my dear child, She herself was
<v Speaker 3>much more tell than I.
<v Speaker 1>In fact, yes, did she ever tell you about the
<v Speaker 1>the circumstances under which we met.
<v Speaker 6>Mister Holmes, though she did tell me that you were
<v Speaker 6>a witness when she and my father were met.
<v Speaker 3>Very true, my dear, Very true. Though the o ken
<v Speaker 3>was a little there.
<v Speaker 1>Well, I will we say unusual. Look here it's sir
<v Speaker 1>Golden's oprin. I wear on my watch chains and a
<v Speaker 1>mentor of that day. I also have a charming photograph
<v Speaker 1>of your mother.
<v Speaker 6>You must have known her quite well.
<v Speaker 4>How about telling mister Holmes about your troubles? Why not?
<v Speaker 1>Reminiscences are charming that they can wait until we've dealt
<v Speaker 1>with your problems.
<v Speaker 6>Mister Holmes, I'm being blackmailed.
<v Speaker 3>Oh I'm sorry to hear it by whom by a.
<v Speaker 6>Neighbor of yours, mister Lyttle Stanley.
<v Speaker 1>Do you know him?
<v Speaker 6>Oh?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, indeed I do.
<v Speaker 5>Matter of fact, mister Holmes received the most offensive note
<v Speaker 5>from the gentleman less than an hour ago.
<v Speaker 3>What hold does mister Stanley have over you, my dear?
<v Speaker 6>He has some letters and rather indiscreet editors of mine
<v Speaker 6>that I wrote to a friend of his last year.
<v Speaker 3>How did he obtain these letters, Miss Norton?
<v Speaker 4>He must have stolen them.
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how but when I staying in his
<v Speaker 6>house a few weeks ago, he told me that he
<v Speaker 6>had them and asked five thousand pounds for their return.
<v Speaker 1>And why should he consider our letters eaten in discreet
<v Speaker 1>letters worth so large a son?
<v Speaker 6>I'm engaged to be married to Lord Western's son. That
<v Speaker 6>awful man didn't Stanley knows that if my fiance saw
<v Speaker 6>the letters, the marriage would never take.
<v Speaker 4>Plans I must see extremely compromising.
<v Speaker 6>They aren't, really, But I was much younger when I
<v Speaker 6>wrote some in facts. I was only seventeen. I'm afraid
<v Speaker 6>they could easily be misconstrued.
<v Speaker 4>Have you told your mother?
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, she'd never understand. She might surprise you on that.
<v Speaker 3>I think, how about your father?
<v Speaker 6>Daddy's a barrister. You can imagine how straight is easy
<v Speaker 6>about the whole thing. That's why I came to you,
<v Speaker 6>mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 3>Oh I see you. She will feel that I am
<v Speaker 3>not so well? We say, straight, lady, of course you aren't.
<v Speaker 6>Mother's told me about you. And in any case, I've
<v Speaker 6>read doctor Watson's story.
<v Speaker 1>What is my dear fellow on your stories will lend
<v Speaker 1>me in Celia trouble one of these days?
<v Speaker 6>What are you suggesting mister Holmes can do for him
<v Speaker 6>get the letters back for me?
<v Speaker 4>But how steal them?
<v Speaker 1>No? No, no, mydear, what's Dubby Shocksnorton is a fourth
<v Speaker 1>right girl?
<v Speaker 3>I come out before her? It's mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 6>You can't say you won't help me.
<v Speaker 3>No, I don't think that. I can't say it. In
<v Speaker 3>any case, I have a slight personal score to settle with.
<v Speaker 1>Mister Linton Stanley myself. He's rude and has no understanding be.
<v Speaker 4>And how are you going to steal the letters?
<v Speaker 3>That problem requires a thought, old chap.
<v Speaker 6>I can tell you how to do it, mister.
<v Speaker 3>Hol This is delightful, my dear.
<v Speaker 1>You explained the problem and also the way of solving it.
<v Speaker 1>How easy a detective's work might be if all plans
<v Speaker 1>were equally helpful.
<v Speaker 3>Tell me what is your plan?
<v Speaker 6>Tomorrow? The servants half day off at mister Lytton Stanley's.
<v Speaker 6>He will be alone there during the afternoon.
<v Speaker 3>How do you know that fact?
<v Speaker 6>My maid was keeping company, as they say, with Beavis
<v Speaker 6>the butler when I was staying there a few weeks ago.
<v Speaker 6>She found out everything from him. My letters are kept
<v Speaker 6>in a filigree box in his.
<v Speaker 1>Desk with your enterprise. My dear, I'm surprised that you
<v Speaker 1>didn't try and open the desk to sol.
<v Speaker 6>I did, but it's very still and has a combination
<v Speaker 6>of hard However, I'm sure that you and doctor Watson
<v Speaker 6>can think of some way of getting the letters, particularly
<v Speaker 6>if mister Litton Stanley's alone.
<v Speaker 3>In the house. We shall do our best, Miss Morton,
<v Speaker 3>har must.
<v Speaker 6>Be one thing, though, both of you.
<v Speaker 4>What's that? Don't read the letters? Will you?
<v Speaker 6>I'm really rather ashamed of writing.
<v Speaker 4>Course we won't. You're both so sweet to me.
<v Speaker 6>How can I thank you?
<v Speaker 4>Thanks?
<v Speaker 3>Would be a little time that you are you could
<v Speaker 3>do us to say that? Of course?
<v Speaker 5>What is it?
<v Speaker 3>Your mother had a beautiful voice, I recall. I wonder
<v Speaker 3>if you would hit her talents.
<v Speaker 6>I do sing, though I've never done so professionally like mother, and.
<v Speaker 1>I've never played the violin professionally. But perhaps sent between
<v Speaker 1>us we could give Watson a little concern the.
<v Speaker 5>Life flow, Dear, we can't do anything until tomorrow anywhere?
<v Speaker 3>What would you like to sing?
<v Speaker 6>Song?
<v Speaker 3>More? William? Remarkably appropriate.
<v Speaker 6>So of the from.
<v Speaker 4>Tonight music and Tomorrow A touch of Daylight robbery.
<v Speaker 3>Dear old Watson, your disguise is really excellent.
<v Speaker 5>I must confess I'm a little APPREHENSI.
<v Speaker 3>Wont have there's no need to be.
<v Speaker 1>I assure you you as doctor Hamish, and I as
<v Speaker 1>the referend LB are calling mister pen Stanley ostensibly in
<v Speaker 1>search of a contribution for my charity hospital that you
<v Speaker 1>are in charge of.
<v Speaker 3>What could this imply?
<v Speaker 4>What made you decide on the role of the clergyman?
<v Speaker 3>It should simplify our entrance at the house.
<v Speaker 1>No, I must confess that a rare touch of sentiments
<v Speaker 1>pumped at the choice of my disguise.
<v Speaker 4>How do sentiments enteranty.
<v Speaker 1>Or surely you remember that it was in the role
<v Speaker 1>of a simple minded, nonconformist clergyman that I once attempted
<v Speaker 1>to deceive Miss Norton's mother.
<v Speaker 4>That's right, I've forgotten. That woman really fascinates you.
<v Speaker 1>Renny Adler was one woman I've always regarded with unbounded admiration,
<v Speaker 1>even though she was a criminal.
<v Speaker 3>But the matter of this fellow, are you ready? Yes,
<v Speaker 3>you have the equipment I mentioned to you in my pocket.
<v Speaker 3>That chap let's be off if his home mother devil
<v Speaker 3>doesn't the answer the door.
<v Speaker 5>Come, Come, come, my dear reverend Apple for passing your
<v Speaker 5>languages is hardly approved.
<v Speaker 3>I'm sorry, doctor Heimmish, that comes someone.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Litton Stander, that's my name.
<v Speaker 3>The nine is Apple and this is my friend.
<v Speaker 4>Doctor Haines id to me. I've heard a great deal, Bilky.
<v Speaker 1>What can I do for you if we're to come
<v Speaker 1>in from her medle explain our mission very well.
<v Speaker 7>I'm into the study.
<v Speaker 1>We're raising a subscription list for charity Hospital of battle Way,
<v Speaker 1>just across the Downs. You're a prominent residence here. We
<v Speaker 1>thought that you'd like to donate a few guineas.
<v Speaker 7>I'm really not very interested. I've given as much to
<v Speaker 7>charity this year.
<v Speaker 3>As I can afford.
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's a fine courser.
<v Speaker 5>I'm giving my medical services three days a week, and
<v Speaker 5>the Reverend Appleby is done his saviss two?
<v Speaker 7>Who else has contributed to this time?
<v Speaker 1>Oh?
<v Speaker 3>Your neighbors, sir. We just came from the bee farm
<v Speaker 3>over the Downs. The owner, mister Holmes gave us a
<v Speaker 3>check for five guinas.
<v Speaker 7>Holmes gave you five guineas did he have?
<v Speaker 5>Very nice gentleman, mister Holmes. We're propos him to name
<v Speaker 5>a world in the hospital after him.
<v Speaker 7>Is this list of subscribers going to be published in
<v Speaker 7>the paper.
<v Speaker 6>Oh yes, oh yes, mister Bitton stands.
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you, sir, if you say, Hugh, I'll get
<v Speaker 1>my check book fits in this desk?
<v Speaker 7>Now who do I make this check payable to?
<v Speaker 1>Will still.
<v Speaker 3>Any heat? Watson iPhone doesn't take long? The ling of
<v Speaker 3>the desk. That's it. Do see philipgree box in there?
<v Speaker 4>Huh there it is splendid. Holmes, don't open it.
<v Speaker 3>You promise that you would, just wish to make sure.
<v Speaker 2>To make sure pull us there, mister Sherlock Holme, Oh no,
<v Speaker 2>don't move. I have a revolver, and don't turn around.
<v Speaker 2>Place the box on the table. Mister Holmes, put your
<v Speaker 2>hands up, gentlemen, both of you.
<v Speaker 4>That's right.
<v Speaker 3>I know that vices dealers, but that's quite correct, Olive.
<v Speaker 4>If you need pull a revolvers, is your your muster.
<v Speaker 1>I'm not in the least interested in my master's health,
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson. In fact, if you were dead, I should
<v Speaker 1>be delighted.
<v Speaker 3>And what are you up to leave us?
<v Speaker 2>I'm taking advantage of a situation, sir.
<v Speaker 3>I've been trying to open that desk.
<v Speaker 4>Boots.
<v Speaker 1>After such kindness on your part, sir, I hate to
<v Speaker 1>seem ungracious, but I'm pretty afraid I shall have to
<v Speaker 1>kill you. To kill both of you, Doctor Watson's story
<v Speaker 1>will continue in just a second, So I'm just going
<v Speaker 1>to remind you that good food always tastes better when
<v Speaker 1>served with good wine. And if you like a red wine,
<v Speaker 1>say with steak or meat of any kind, you love
<v Speaker 1>Petrie California Burgundy. If you'd rather have a white wine,
<v Speaker 1>say with chicken or fish, then by all means, get
<v Speaker 1>Petree California so turned.
<v Speaker 3>Oh, and look, if opinion is.
<v Speaker 1>Divided in your family, if some of you like a
<v Speaker 1>red wine and some like white, yes is obvious. Don't
<v Speaker 1>buy one, buy two.
<v Speaker 3>Remember that, huh.
<v Speaker 1>Don't buy one, buy two, but do buy Petrie. Then
<v Speaker 1>you know it's good, the doctor. That was a fine
<v Speaker 1>place to break off your story, with the butler pointing
<v Speaker 1>a gun at your backs, and you and Sherlock homes
<v Speaker 1>with your hands above your heads.
<v Speaker 4>What happened next?
<v Speaker 3>No, at least you didn't get killed.
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't be sitting here in California night telling me
<v Speaker 1>the story.
<v Speaker 5>But supposing I'd take you back in the story to
<v Speaker 5>the point where I looked off well, all.
<v Speaker 3>Right, then take me back down it take me back
<v Speaker 3>very well.
<v Speaker 5>He stood their homes, and iye our hands above our heads,
<v Speaker 5>as Divas said.
<v Speaker 1>How greateful I am that you were open the desk
<v Speaker 1>for me after such kindness on your part, Sir, I
<v Speaker 1>hate to seem ungracious, but I'm greatfully afraid I'm going
<v Speaker 1>to have to kill you both because I just like
<v Speaker 1>to APPEs stupid at such a dramatic moment.
<v Speaker 3>But why is it near to kill us?
<v Speaker 1>For months, I have been waiting for an opportunity to
<v Speaker 1>steal the Kitman Jar Emerald, and now you have done
<v Speaker 1>it for me, sir, and presented me with a perfect
<v Speaker 1>galibar kit the jar Emerald. Who come now, Miss Pomes.
<v Speaker 1>You know the treasures in this house as well as
<v Speaker 1>I do. Apart from the emerald, there's a superb genie.
<v Speaker 1>Fetch a fine price in the right Mandy.
<v Speaker 4>We aren't here after any valuables, my good man.
<v Speaker 1>Please don't call me your good man, doctor Watson. It's
<v Speaker 1>patronizing and untrue. In any case, sir, whether you were
<v Speaker 1>here after the valuables or not makes no difference. I've
<v Speaker 1>caught you both red handed.
<v Speaker 3>You're complictly in my power.
<v Speaker 1>Gentlemen, I can't steal the treasures I sperson and pretend
<v Speaker 1>to be responsible exactly, Sir, I shall kill you both
<v Speaker 1>secree for objects appeal to me, and when my master
<v Speaker 1>agains consciousness, I should explain that I found three men
<v Speaker 1>burgling the house, that I killed two of them while
<v Speaker 1>the third got away.
<v Speaker 4>With the loot.
<v Speaker 2>Who will be able to die by word to.
<v Speaker 3>Be regarded as a hero, then might even have my
<v Speaker 3>salary raised. Watson, I'm afraid this is the end.
<v Speaker 4>Door chap, a sordid way to die.
<v Speaker 1>God adds at least two esteep courtesy of allowing us
<v Speaker 1>to face the farthing squad.
<v Speaker 3>Will him very well?
<v Speaker 2>Gentlemen, turn round, but don't try any tricks.
<v Speaker 3>One last request, and what is it, sir? I'm beaten,
<v Speaker 3>and I admit it.
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting old, but in my headay, I crossed the
<v Speaker 1>swords with some of the greatest criminals in Europe.
<v Speaker 3>My life has been attempted many times, but I've always escaped.
<v Speaker 1>If this is to be my sponsor, at least give
<v Speaker 1>me the privilege of shaking the hand of a man
<v Speaker 1>who has at last bested me. Well said, I feel
<v Speaker 1>that I'm stepping a little out of my station. But
<v Speaker 1>I suppose the situation is unusual. I hope don't object
<v Speaker 1>to the left hand, Sir, I'll keep the.
<v Speaker 4>Revolver in my right.
<v Speaker 3>Very well, Divers, you are good bye, mister Sherlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>Goodbye, Divers, and my congratulations, but my congratulations for being
<v Speaker 1>a fool. Well on home, never getting old Watson. But
<v Speaker 1>I've not lost my skill of barat So.
<v Speaker 4>You went over your shoulder in a flash. Fortunately the
<v Speaker 4>bullet went wise.
<v Speaker 3>Watson struck the desk as it fell.
<v Speaker 4>You'll be unconscious for a while.
<v Speaker 1>Good that, I think, will take the pause of cursing
<v Speaker 1>this desk drawer. Then want him to be exposed to
<v Speaker 1>perfect temptation when he comes to how we are?
<v Speaker 4>I shouldn't we get into touch with the police?
<v Speaker 6>Home?
<v Speaker 3>Please qu'scoton ol follow?
<v Speaker 1>After all we are bird lesson were in disguise is
<v Speaker 1>two facts that would be hard to explain satisfactorily.
<v Speaker 3>And open with at to the pea pharma soon as possible.
<v Speaker 4>You suppose you're right, Miss Notton'll be waiting for us.
<v Speaker 4>Then tell her what happened. Poor girl. I'm fraid she's
<v Speaker 4>in for something of a shock.
<v Speaker 6>It's the home, doctor Watson. I'm so glad to see
<v Speaker 6>you back again. Did you get the filigree box?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Miss Norton, here it is at homes. I didn't
<v Speaker 3>know that you, Watson. Why not open it? Miss Norton?
<v Speaker 2>Will I open it?
<v Speaker 3>My dear? They may not be love letters beside it,
<v Speaker 3>but there's a note. Why don't you read it to us?
<v Speaker 6>Let this be a warning Norton. Crime does not pay
<v Speaker 6>if you don't believe me at your mother? Sincerely, shall
<v Speaker 6>I comes?
<v Speaker 1>Mister Holmes, you knew mer secret, hold it not all
<v Speaker 1>the time, but I realized that as soon as I'd
<v Speaker 1>opened the filigree box.
<v Speaker 4>What on earth you're talking about?
<v Speaker 6>This?
<v Speaker 1>Norton was under the impression that she could use me
<v Speaker 1>as a cat for as a dupe to commit a
<v Speaker 1>burglary for her.
<v Speaker 4>I still don't understand. Home.
<v Speaker 3>You will remember she asked us to promise not to
<v Speaker 3>open the box, But.
<v Speaker 4>You did, sir. Just before the fellow Helme, I saup
<v Speaker 4>with a revolver. What was inside the.
<v Speaker 1>Barn impressive greenstone which I knew to be the Kitman
<v Speaker 1>jar Emerald.
<v Speaker 3>I slipped it back into mister little Standley's.
<v Speaker 1>Desk and locked it, rocked the box yere because I
<v Speaker 1>wanted to see your expression, Miss Norton as you opened it, Scott,
<v Speaker 1>and I thought you would pull a thing in trouble.
<v Speaker 3>You have to save yourself, younglady.
<v Speaker 6>That I'm terribly sorry, mister Holmes, terribly Harry. It seems
<v Speaker 6>like a wildly exciting idea. But I didn't really.
<v Speaker 1>Mean to see you of course not no, no, of
<v Speaker 1>course you didn't lent me to see it for you,
<v Speaker 1>Miss Norton. I'm convinced you knew that your mother once
<v Speaker 1>outwitted me, and you presumed to think that you could
<v Speaker 1>do the same. I should turn you over to the police.
<v Speaker 6>Please don't, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>You can't do that.
<v Speaker 1>I certainly could, but I'm not going to for two reasons. First,
<v Speaker 1>you're young and impressionable, and this can teach you a lesson.
<v Speaker 3>And in the second place, I have a strange.
<v Speaker 1>Admiration for your mother. But I want you, Miss Norton,
<v Speaker 1>that you have had a narrow escape, a very narrow.
<v Speaker 6>Escape, mister Holmes. Before I go, there's one favor I
<v Speaker 6>want to ask you, really, what is it? Could I
<v Speaker 6>keep this filigree box with your note inside it. It
<v Speaker 6>would be a reminder all my life of how we met.
<v Speaker 3>What do you say, Watson, your box to give as
<v Speaker 3>to your fellow.
<v Speaker 1>That's quite true, but I fail to see how we
<v Speaker 1>can return it now without disclosing our own share in
<v Speaker 1>the attempted robbery.
<v Speaker 3>In any case, I don't like mister Lipton Stanley.
<v Speaker 1>We might indulge in a little petty last name with
<v Speaker 1>doctor feeling too guilty.
<v Speaker 3>Very well, Miss Morton, you may keep the box.
<v Speaker 6>I shall owe his treasure it. Thank you. Good Bye,
<v Speaker 6>Doctor Watson, don't think too badly of me. Good night,
<v Speaker 6>mister sher Lock.
<v Speaker 4>Home you know homes. I must say you were surprisingly
<v Speaker 4>lenient with that girl. You suppose her mother put her
<v Speaker 4>up clothing.
<v Speaker 3>That possibility had occurred to me. Hello, and yet I
<v Speaker 3>have a feeling that come in doors open?
<v Speaker 4>Will you expected? Gott?
<v Speaker 3>It's looking believing, sir. This is an unexpected honor Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>We haven't been the best of friends, I know, but
<v Speaker 1>you've got to help me now. I'm in serious trouble.
<v Speaker 3>Oh indeed, wont you sit down? This is my friend
<v Speaker 3>of what I do? And now, sir, and what is
<v Speaker 3>your trouble?
<v Speaker 1>I've been robbed, Holmes, robbed what the stone? Well, my
<v Speaker 1>greatest pleasure. The Kipmens are emeralds to remove from his chase,
<v Speaker 1>and then mysteriously returned loose in my jest afterwards.
<v Speaker 7>But there's a priceless Chillney missing.
<v Speaker 6>Have you.
<v Speaker 3>Have you any eye hear who the Thurgos might be
<v Speaker 3>or it was a gang.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that's a couple of disguise as a clergureman
<v Speaker 1>and a doctor came into the house on the pretext
<v Speaker 1>of raising money for some hospital, and they overpowered.
<v Speaker 7>Me with chlorophorm.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, dear me, dear me, I'm very I'm plessing for you. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>when I came to I found my bucket Jebbers lying
<v Speaker 1>beside me in a pool of blood. The brave fellow
<v Speaker 1>had wrestled with the thigs, but they got away and
<v Speaker 1>he's in the hospital now. Holmes, you've got to help me.
<v Speaker 3>The kitman jar emerald was returned, you say, but a
<v Speaker 3>Chillini is missing.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's an it's filigree box in which I had
<v Speaker 1>kept the emerald, a phillygree box. Yes, it's a genuine Chellini.
<v Speaker 1>It's worth several thousand pounds. Homes you must help me
<v Speaker 1>solve this business. I'm sorry, mister little Stanley, but I'm
<v Speaker 1>afraid I can't help you. I retired, yes, and I
<v Speaker 1>intend to remain in retirement.
<v Speaker 3>Good night, sir.
<v Speaker 1>Not all, but I will pay you any fee within reason.
<v Speaker 3>My decision is final, sir, good night.
<v Speaker 7>I might have known I wouldn't get any help from you.
<v Speaker 3>Holmes, she fools again, stares the little devil. She knew
<v Speaker 3>that boxters at Tellina all the time.
<v Speaker 4>You don't seem very angry with all Ah.
<v Speaker 3>I should be, but I'm not. What splendid audacity, what
<v Speaker 3>a superper nerve the child has?
<v Speaker 4>But you must get the box back from her?
<v Speaker 3>I shall, watson, I shall, or rather I shall persuade
<v Speaker 3>Deepest to do it for me as the price of
<v Speaker 3>our silence.
<v Speaker 4>How can he get it back?
<v Speaker 3>Remember that he walks out as Miss Norton's maid.
<v Speaker 1>I am certain that when he explains his predicament, he
<v Speaker 1>can prevail upon her to steal the box from her mistress,
<v Speaker 1>so that it may be returned to which white colona.
<v Speaker 4>It's a good idea that, George Holmes, this not is
<v Speaker 4>a chip of old block, all right?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, wats and cheers, and it makes me wonder for
<v Speaker 1>the birth. Ah, I wonder, my dear Chap, how long
<v Speaker 1>I can remain in retirement such worthy antagonist at large
<v Speaker 1>As a challenge, it's an irresistible challenge, you know.
<v Speaker 3>Doctor Watson. I just can't get over the way you
<v Speaker 3>and mister Holmes. Let that girl Irene was at her name,
<v Speaker 3>pull of wool over your eyes? Why she really twisted
<v Speaker 3>you around her little fingers.
<v Speaker 5>I like to make extremely positive statements, but I'm sure
<v Speaker 5>that if you were in my shoes, I really would
<v Speaker 5>not only have twisted you around her little finger that
<v Speaker 5>she had you ruin about hoops standing on your head.
<v Speaker 5>You mean she was that beautiful, mister, butto she was
<v Speaker 5>so beautiful that she'd make you forget all about Petrie.
<v Speaker 3>Wine, Doctor Watson, No girl is that beautiful? Oh?
<v Speaker 4>How young you really are?
<v Speaker 1>Oh?
<v Speaker 5>Maybe so?
<v Speaker 1>But there are lots of pretty girls in this world
<v Speaker 1>and only one Patree wine. That's because there's only one
<v Speaker 1>Patrie family that's been making wine since the eighteen hundreds.
<v Speaker 1>And believe me, because the Patrick business has always been
<v Speaker 1>family owned and operated, they've been able to hand on
<v Speaker 1>down from father to son, from father to son. The
<v Speaker 1>highly skilled art of making fine wine, and those generations
<v Speaker 1>of wine making add up to a lot of experience.
<v Speaker 1>The Patrie family really knows how to turn luscious California
<v Speaker 1>grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. That's why, no matter what
<v Speaker 1>type wine you wish, you can't go wrong looking for
<v Speaker 1>the label that says p E.
<v Speaker 3>T R.
<v Speaker 1>I Petrie, because Patrey took time to bring you good wine. Well,
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson, what story are you planning to tell us
<v Speaker 1>next week?
<v Speaker 5>Well, now, next week, mister Bartell's the day before Christmas.
<v Speaker 4>So I'm going to tell you.
<v Speaker 5>An adventure that took place many years ago and involved
<v Speaker 5>homes and myself in one of the most fantastic Christmas
<v Speaker 5>Eve situations in which we ever found ourselves.
<v Speaker 4>I think you like the story. I call it the
<v Speaker 4>Night before Christmas.
<v Speaker 3>That sounds well, doctor.
<v Speaker 4>Oh thank you.
<v Speaker 7>Oh.
<v Speaker 5>By the way, before I comes to Barcola, I'd like
<v Speaker 5>to remind our listeners there's no better way to spend money.
<v Speaker 4>And to spend it on Christmas seals.
<v Speaker 5>Every pen is spent on Christmas seals not only helps
<v Speaker 5>cure tuberculosis, but it also helps prevent it right in
<v Speaker 5>your own community.
<v Speaker 4>Your purchases of Christmas steals in the past have saved
<v Speaker 4>thousands of lives.
<v Speaker 5>Keep saving lives by all the Christmas seals you can
<v Speaker 5>afford this year, now, won't you.
<v Speaker 4>Tonight?
