<v Speaker 1>This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be
<v Speaker 1>transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
<v Speaker 1>and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
<v Speaker 1>Petree Wine brings you Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and
<v Speaker 1>the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the
<v Speaker 1>family that took time to bring you good wine. Invite
<v Speaker 1>you to listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting
<v Speaker 1>adventure he shared with his old friend, that master Detective
<v Speaker 1>Sherlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 2>You know something, I had.
<v Speaker 1>An adventure tonight I wish you could have shared with me.
<v Speaker 1>I had a steak about an inch and a half,
<v Speaker 1>fake tender, juicy, and with it, I had a glass
<v Speaker 1>of Petrie California Burgundy. Now there's a combination steak and
<v Speaker 1>Petrie Burgundy. That Petrick Burgundy is a perfect meal time wine.
<v Speaker 1>It's a rich red wine that's hardy and full of flavor,
<v Speaker 1>flavor that comes right from the heart of the great.
<v Speaker 1>And don't think that Patrick Burgundy is only good with steak.
<v Speaker 1>It'll make a hamburger sandwich taste like a feast. To
<v Speaker 1>try Patrie Burgundy with any meat or meat ditch. It's
<v Speaker 1>just wonderful, and serve it proudly too, because after all,
<v Speaker 1>the name Petrie is the proudest name in the history
<v Speaker 1>of American wines. And now I know doctor Watson's waiting
<v Speaker 1>for us, So let's go in and join me.
<v Speaker 2>Come in, Come in, Come.
<v Speaker 1>In, good eating, doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 2>What do you needs about? Ut quite muffled up tonight?
<v Speaker 2>I see overcoats, car and gloves. Slip them off from
<v Speaker 2>Come and join me by the far.
<v Speaker 1>Thanks doctor, it's quite a nip in the air tonight. Yes, well, doctor,
<v Speaker 1>you told us last week that tonight's story centered around
<v Speaker 1>the activities of a brilliant and beautiful woman.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, my boy, her name is Irene Edler, but I
<v Speaker 2>never knew homes of to her by any other name
<v Speaker 2>than the woman.
<v Speaker 1>She sounds a mighty intriguing.
<v Speaker 2>How did he happen to meet up with it? Well,
<v Speaker 2>it was from the beginning one night. It was on
<v Speaker 2>the twentieth of May in eighteen hundred and eighty eight,
<v Speaker 2>to be exact. I was returning home from a visit
<v Speaker 2>to a patient when my steps led me through Baker Street.
<v Speaker 2>Since my marriage, I hadn't seen much of Sherlock Holmes,
<v Speaker 2>and you couldn't.
<v Speaker 1>Resist stopping by it till twenty one b I'm sure,
<v Speaker 1>of course I couldn't.
<v Speaker 2>As I stood outside the well remembered door, I looked
<v Speaker 2>up at the lighted windows and saw the tall, spare
<v Speaker 2>figure of my old friend, passed twice in dark silhouette
<v Speaker 2>against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly,
<v Speaker 2>with his head stunk on his chest, and his hands
<v Speaker 2>clasped behind him. To me, who knew every mood of
<v Speaker 2>his and habit of his, his attitude and manner told
<v Speaker 2>their own story. He was hot on the scent of
<v Speaker 2>some new problem. I rang the bell, and a few
<v Speaker 2>moments later found myself standing before him.
<v Speaker 1>You're looking spect It is some time feeling with away
<v Speaker 1>and in practice again. I see you didn't tell me
<v Speaker 1>that you'd have gone back into harness.
<v Speaker 2>How did you know?
<v Speaker 1>ALLMANA my dead chap. If a gentleman walks into my
<v Speaker 1>rooms smelling a bioda form with a black mark of
<v Speaker 1>Knight fit of silver on his right forefinger and a
<v Speaker 1>bulge on the left side of his hat to show
<v Speaker 1>where he has a secreted his steposcope, I should be done. Indeed,
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't pronounce him to be an active member
<v Speaker 1>of the Medical Professor, just.
<v Speaker 2>The same as over homes. By the way, I'm not
<v Speaker 2>interrupting you, and.
<v Speaker 1>You are awful, but it's a most work an interruption.
<v Speaker 2>You're working on a new case.
<v Speaker 1>It looks like in this letter arrived by the last
<v Speaker 1>person today. It's undiad and has neither signature nor address readed.
<v Speaker 2>So look there, we'll call upon you tonight at a
<v Speaker 2>quarter to eight o'clock, a gentleman who deserves to consult
<v Speaker 2>you upon a matter the very deepest moment. Your recent
<v Speaker 2>services to one of the royal houses of Europe have
<v Speaker 2>shown that you are one who may safely be trusted.
<v Speaker 2>This account of you we have from more quarters received.
<v Speaker 2>Be in your chamber then that that are, and do
<v Speaker 2>not take it to miss if your visitor wears a mask.
<v Speaker 2>It's got a very mysterious But do you imagine it means?
<v Speaker 1>Look carefully at the note, olone, what do you use
<v Speaker 1>from it?
<v Speaker 2>Oh? No, let me think the man who wrote it
<v Speaker 2>was presumably well to do. Such paper couldn't be bought
<v Speaker 2>on a half a crowd of packet, and it's peculiarly
<v Speaker 2>strong and stiff peculiar.
<v Speaker 1>That's the very word. It's non English paper at all.
<v Speaker 1>Hold it up to the light. Don't you notice anything?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, there's a large E with a small G, and
<v Speaker 2>and a large G with a small T right woven
<v Speaker 2>into the text to the paper.
<v Speaker 1>What does that suggest you?
<v Speaker 2>The name of the maker, no doubt, or perhaps his migra.
<v Speaker 1>Now it's all Manifello. The T with the small T
<v Speaker 1>stands by the zil shaft, which is the Erman the company,
<v Speaker 1>and the EG that stands for Eglia. It's a German
<v Speaker 1>steaking country of Bohemia, not far from Colsbad. The paper
<v Speaker 1>was made in Bohemia, undoubtedly Maniflo. And the man who
<v Speaker 1>wrote the note is a German. How do you know
<v Speaker 1>that there the curious construction of the sentence, This account
<v Speaker 1>of you we have from all quarters received. A Frenchman
<v Speaker 1>or Russian could not have written that. It's the German
<v Speaker 1>who is a discourteous to his verts. O, your count,
<v Speaker 1>Now I better go alone, as you have to. Well,
<v Speaker 1>I could stay, I thought, then stay old Chap. I'm
<v Speaker 1>lost without my Boswell. And this says to be interesting.
<v Speaker 1>I told missus Hudson to let the mask visitor come
<v Speaker 1>upstairs unannounced. Come in you're giving, sir, you you received
<v Speaker 1>as indetail coming by to sit down. This is my
<v Speaker 1>friend and colleague, Dr Watson. You may say anything before
<v Speaker 1>him that you can say to me, whom have I
<v Speaker 1>the honor to address? You may address me as sir.
<v Speaker 1>Conferen cramp do you do?
<v Speaker 2>Sir?
<v Speaker 1>You must excuse this mask for diarrhea. The august person
<v Speaker 1>who employs me vicius his agency unknown to you, and
<v Speaker 1>I may confess it right at the title by which
<v Speaker 1>I have just caught myself is not exactly my own.
<v Speaker 1>I'm well aware of that fact, sir. You see, mister Horner,
<v Speaker 1>the matter I am about to discuss implicates the great
<v Speaker 1>House of Ramstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia that hasn't escaped
<v Speaker 1>me either, sir. In fact, if you will stake your case,
<v Speaker 1>I shall be the better able to advise you. Your majesty,
<v Speaker 1>How did you?
<v Speaker 2>Yes?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I am the king. Why should I attempt to
<v Speaker 1>conceal it? Why? Indeed? I shall remove the mask? Yere,
<v Speaker 1>mister Holmes, I have traveled incognital from for the express
<v Speaker 1>purpose of consulting and break consult briefly the factsaries some
<v Speaker 1>five years ago during a visitor Warsaw, I made the
<v Speaker 1>acquaintance of the well known adventures. Are any Adler really?
<v Speaker 2>Addler?
<v Speaker 1>We know of her, your ma look her up an
<v Speaker 1>index for me, Will Watson, and it's right beside You're
<v Speaker 1>on the desk there. I imagine that the name would
<v Speaker 1>not be unfamiliar.
<v Speaker 2>You are Abraham's acton Green Hatchet murders. The power with you.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Irene Adler born in New Jersey in the
<v Speaker 1>United States in eighteen fifty eight. Contrato the Madame Imperial
<v Speaker 1>Opera Warsaw, who retired from the apoatic stage living in London.
<v Speaker 1>Quite so, and here's a recent notation. Ehah, Your majesty,
<v Speaker 1>as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote
<v Speaker 1>her some compromising letters and is not desirous of getting
<v Speaker 1>those letters back. Precisely so, but how was it a
<v Speaker 1>secret marriage?
<v Speaker 2>None?
<v Speaker 1>No legal papers or certificates.
<v Speaker 2>No.
<v Speaker 1>Then I failed to follow your majesty. If this young
<v Speaker 1>lady should produce her letters to blackmailing purposes, how she'd
<v Speaker 1>proved the authenticipate mister handwriting, that could be a forgery, majesty,
<v Speaker 1>But it was private, notepas Sterlen My own seal imitated
<v Speaker 1>my photocal court. What they are both in the photograph?
<v Speaker 2>Very bad.
<v Speaker 1>Your majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.
<v Speaker 2>Did you inscribe the photographic.
<v Speaker 1>Magister A Yes, Doctor Watson, I am afraid I did,
<v Speaker 1>Mister Holmes. It must be recovered. Perhaps if you would not,
<v Speaker 1>the photograph might be bought. She refuses to sell stolen
<v Speaker 1>and her five attempts have been made twice burglars in
<v Speaker 1>my pay, and sacked our house once. Be better, her
<v Speaker 1>luggage when she traveled twice she has been waylaid. There
<v Speaker 1>has been no result. Whom dear, it's quite a pretty
<v Speaker 1>little problem. It is a deadly serious one to me.
<v Speaker 2>You imagine what does miss Adlin tend to do with
<v Speaker 2>the photograph to ruin me?
<v Speaker 1>Oh? How well? I am about to be married to
<v Speaker 1>the second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. She the
<v Speaker 1>soul of delicacy, A shadow of a doubt as to
<v Speaker 1>my conduct would pin the had her to an aid,
<v Speaker 1>and I really i'd learn. Who threatens to send the
<v Speaker 1>photograph to your council? I suppose yes, and she will
<v Speaker 1>do it rather than let me marry another woman. There
<v Speaker 1>are no links to which she would not go, and.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you have already sent it to magic.
<v Speaker 1>I am sure, now why are your master? She said
<v Speaker 1>that she would send it on the day my bettle
<v Speaker 1>is publicly announced. That day will be next Monday, splendid.
<v Speaker 1>We had still three days yet your magicty will have
<v Speaker 1>cost take London for the present, so he will find
<v Speaker 1>me to Lagham Hotel registered as a conferen com just
<v Speaker 1>two questions before you liveson. But it is photograph large
<v Speaker 1>or small? Quite large and it was in a heavy frame.
<v Speaker 1>I see. And what is miss Irene at London address

<v Speaker 2>very illuminating.
<v Speaker 1>No visual residence that represents the essence of dignified suburbia,
<v Speaker 1>that tells us very little about its owner. I think

<v Speaker 1>Commonol chap. I see the door to the coach and
<v Speaker 1>horses and fighting us from across the road.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, our disguises shouldn't cause any suspicion home.
<v Speaker 1>I suggested them in the character of a couple of
<v Speaker 1>stable hands. I hope that we might inspire confidence. This
<v Speaker 1>is a Horsey neighborhood. There's a wonderful sympathy and premiasonry
<v Speaker 1>among the fraternity here. We are better let me do
<v Speaker 1>most of the talking.
<v Speaker 2>Well, indeed, I'm sure your accent will be more convincing

<v Speaker 1>to you? Cham Good luck it is and thanks for.
<v Speaker 2>What's smooth homes.
<v Speaker 1>Let's strolled back to Brannon Lodge, and man decided whether
<v Speaker 1>to continue my investigation there or to find out something
<v Speaker 1>about mister Jeffrey Norton the Dallas n If he's just
<v Speaker 1>her lawyer and nothing else, it's more than likely that
<v Speaker 1>she's injusted the photograph to his safe keeping.
<v Speaker 2>Hello, there's a cab waiting outside of miss Audle's hurt.
<v Speaker 1>Watson, Maybe mister Norton's here. We are to kate, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>here comes a man hurrying down the pathway. Quick let
<v Speaker 1>yourself find this post.
<v Speaker 2>Listen ware too, nor Mister.
<v Speaker 1>Norton tried like the devil, first hands in Greeton Street
<v Speaker 1>and then to the Church of saying I'm accurring heat
<v Speaker 1>for the road.
<v Speaker 2>Harp us up and if you do it in twenty minutes,
<v Speaker 2>my charms to Norton, hop in.
<v Speaker 1>Fire and signal with the cab.
<v Speaker 3>Watson when it's following, well, here.
<v Speaker 2>Comes one chillsn't it's it's a private care in.
<v Speaker 1>Its heartless no doubt, because she comes on the pathway
<v Speaker 1>back behind the post again.

<v Speaker 1>to governor, said Monika the Edgebury Road, and another half
<v Speaker 1>soffering for you if you get us there in twenty minutes.
<v Speaker 1>We'll hear the restaurant to Watson's story in just a second.
<v Speaker 1>But let me tell you something. If you're going to
<v Speaker 1>have chicken for dinner tomorrow night, for any night, don't
<v Speaker 1>forget to serve that chicken with Petrie California so turned.
<v Speaker 2>Believe me.
<v Speaker 1>Petri so turn is just about the last word in
<v Speaker 1>white wines. It's quick playing, golden in color, It's delicate
<v Speaker 1>and intriguing in flavor, and it's just well, you taste
<v Speaker 1>it and see for yourself. He wanted delicious white wine.
<v Speaker 1>You certainly want a pet treeceaor turn doctor. Once again,
<v Speaker 1>you broke off your story at the most exciting point.
<v Speaker 1>Did you and Sherlock Holmes reach that church inside the
<v Speaker 1>twenty minute?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, miss till we did, but the other carriages were
<v Speaker 2>there before us. Homes went into the church after telling
<v Speaker 2>me to guard the outside. I must have waited for
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes or more before mister Jeffrey Norton, the saddler,
<v Speaker 2>came out, spoke a few words to each other, and
<v Speaker 2>then left in their separate conveyances. A moment later, Holmes,
<v Speaker 2>still dressed as a stable hand, came strolling out of
<v Speaker 2>the church and down the steps towards me. He was
<v Speaker 2>obviously very excited. What what have they left? Yes, and
<v Speaker 2>separate cabs. I overheard him say that he was going
<v Speaker 2>back to his office, and she said, I shall drive
<v Speaker 2>out in the park and at five in this evening.
<v Speaker 1>Spend it all and come on we can return to
<v Speaker 1>Bake Street.
<v Speaker 2>What happened inside the church?
<v Speaker 1>I'm married? Married. Of course, the ceremony would have been
<v Speaker 1>illegal if it had been performed afternoon had accounted for
<v Speaker 1>that wild to the church, jumping to the cab where
<v Speaker 1>to know Godner f twenty one Pc Street.
<v Speaker 2>So they got married? Yes?
<v Speaker 1>And it may abuse you to know that I acted
<v Speaker 1>as witness at the ceremony.
<v Speaker 2>Oh you didn't. Had their own.
<v Speaker 1>Witness appeared up here and I was dragged into the breach.
<v Speaker 1>The ride gave me the sovereign as a memento. I
<v Speaker 1>think I'll wear it on my watch chain and memory
<v Speaker 1>of the occasion.
<v Speaker 2>An amazing situation. Things can look better for the King,
<v Speaker 2>don't there? Now that she's missus Norton, the chances are
<v Speaker 2>that she won't want to expose his majesty or fra
<v Speaker 2>I hope.
<v Speaker 1>So what's my hope? That we can't affort tenaces? I
<v Speaker 1>think the time is right for us to come to
<v Speaker 1>closers with the lady.
<v Speaker 2>Well homes. Now that we've eaten. Perhaps you'll tell me a.
<v Speaker 1>Plan with the part, my dear fellow. And while I'm
<v Speaker 1>so doing, I'll proceed with the buying the makeup of
<v Speaker 1>my new disguise.
<v Speaker 2>Another disguise. What's the whos done?
<v Speaker 1>I think the character and appearance of an amiable and
<v Speaker 1>simple minded onnformist clergyman would be most suited to my
<v Speaker 1>plan for entering Miss Archer's house.
<v Speaker 2>Are you going to try and enter that?
<v Speaker 1>I must still helone. Yes, I'm sure the photograph is there.
<v Speaker 1>Miss Hadler, or rather missus Norton, will return from her
<v Speaker 1>drive and park six thirty. We must be at Brian
<v Speaker 1>a large tometer. What then you redeed that to me?
<v Speaker 1>I've already made my arrangements. There is only one point
<v Speaker 1>on which I must insist. You must not interfere. Come,
<v Speaker 1>What may you understand?
<v Speaker 2>I'm to remain neutral.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there will be some small unpleasantness. Don't join in it. Blendy.
<v Speaker 1>My being conveyed into the house as soon as I'm
<v Speaker 1>able to is slope one of the windows. You have
<v Speaker 1>to watch me outside. When I raise my hand, you
<v Speaker 1>will throw an object which I shall give you through
<v Speaker 1>the window at the same time. Quite fire.
<v Speaker 2>Follow me tell over to one of.
<v Speaker 1>Our throw or something veryformable.
<v Speaker 2>Here it is huh, looks a great big cigar. What
<v Speaker 2>is it?
<v Speaker 1>That's an ordinary plumbers smoke rocket fit it for a
<v Speaker 1>cap at each end to make it so flighting. Our
<v Speaker 1>task is confined to throwing it through the window. When
<v Speaker 1>you raise the cry fire, it will take up my
<v Speaker 1>quite a number of people. We then walk to the
<v Speaker 1>end of the street and I'll rejoin you in ties.
<v Speaker 1>I hope that made myself clear, perfect quick, and I
<v Speaker 1>will pull up as soon as i John my ericle attire.
<v Speaker 1>Let's be away. There's no time to be lost.
<v Speaker 2>It's nearly six thirty homes. We've been pacing up and
<v Speaker 2>down in front of her house half an hour. I
<v Speaker 2>hope she does come back.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure she will.
<v Speaker 2>There seem to be a lot of loafers hanging around
<v Speaker 2>her game a part.
<v Speaker 1>Of my conspiracy old chap. You'll see them play their
<v Speaker 1>parts in a few minutes.
<v Speaker 2>You still think the photograph is inside.
<v Speaker 1>The house, I'm sure of it. It's most unlikely that
<v Speaker 1>she carries it about to them. Remember the king told
<v Speaker 1>us it was a large frame picture. And also remember
<v Speaker 1>that she plan to use it within a few days.
<v Speaker 1>It must be where she can lay her hands on it.
<v Speaker 1>It might be inside her house.
<v Speaker 2>Her house has been burgled twice.
<v Speaker 1>Say don't have a look.
<v Speaker 2>How will you look?
<v Speaker 1>I won't. I'll get her to show me.
<v Speaker 2>She refuse.
<v Speaker 1>You won't be able to now, Remember Watson carry.
<v Speaker 3>Out my orders to the letter.
<v Speaker 2>You can truss me.
<v Speaker 1>Though, limey here comes that get away?
<v Speaker 2>He put out the carpet.
<v Speaker 1>She might say, don't touch step away? He take? How
<v Speaker 1>better to let me through? I live here?
<v Speaker 2>Well, are you back none?
<v Speaker 1>We'll all come in and have a tope.
<v Speaker 2>Move out of the way, peas and get the lated through.
<v Speaker 1>Pins your own business, go to Colin center round. Why
<v Speaker 1>you can't pull off fun away right and take that?
<v Speaker 1>No fight about it? I tell you to stop molesting
<v Speaker 1>the lady.
<v Speaker 2>Do then? How would you like? I'm fipping?
<v Speaker 1>And oh he hits the poone man and then he
<v Speaker 1>ran away.
<v Speaker 2>The coward hits the great man badly hurt. He is it?
<v Speaker 2>May money, Phil, if you ask me, he's and he's
<v Speaker 2>bleeding something terrible. Can you bring him in?
<v Speaker 1>Mom?
<v Speaker 2>He can't lie hereless sleet? Why of course bringing me? Right?
<v Speaker 1>You are?
<v Speaker 2>Mom?
<v Speaker 1>Yea right out? Give me anyway? Two, poor fellow. Do
<v Speaker 1>you see what happened to him? Mister?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I saw my woman, very convincing demonstration. Weren't you
<v Speaker 2>paid by a certain gentleman for this performance?
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Jenny's about it too.
<v Speaker 2>You must be a friend of mister Sherlock.
<v Speaker 1>I am no, gentlemen, you give us five brother piece.
<v Speaker 2>That did not work.
<v Speaker 1>You can't throw yet though, we got to start yelling.
<v Speaker 1>How when somebody tells us I'm not some of them
<v Speaker 1>a little.
<v Speaker 2>There's mister Holmes. Are he's inside the house.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, he's got near the window.
<v Speaker 2>Now he's raising his hand. That's my signal, now to
<v Speaker 2>throw the rocket. There we are a Holmes leo. You
<v Speaker 2>have photographs?
<v Speaker 1>No, I know where it is. She showed me as
<v Speaker 1>I told you she would.
<v Speaker 2>I'm still in the dark.
<v Speaker 1>There's no miss George Chap. When I come as this
<v Speaker 1>started around the street, I had a little moist red
<v Speaker 1>paint in my hand. As my good friend Alfie pretended
<v Speaker 1>to strike me, I clapped my hand to my head
<v Speaker 1>and fell down.
<v Speaker 2>It's not trick, so stand that. But how did my
<v Speaker 2>throwing the rocket help you?
<v Speaker 1>It was all important, my dear fellow. When a woman
<v Speaker 1>thinks her home is on fire, her instinct is at
<v Speaker 1>wants to rush to the thing she values. Most married
<v Speaker 1>woman grabs her baby, and unmarried which is for her
<v Speaker 1>jewel box. In this case, of course, it was the photograph.
<v Speaker 1>Where was it in a recess in the living room
<v Speaker 1>just about the right hand doppole. I caught a glimpse
<v Speaker 1>of it as she half threw it out. When I
<v Speaker 1>made it known that the farmer is a false alarm,
<v Speaker 1>she replaced the photograph as soon as I was able.
<v Speaker 1>I assured her that I was feeling well enough to leave.
<v Speaker 2>You didn't take the photographer?
<v Speaker 1>No, I felt that over precipitance, that this stage might
<v Speaker 1>ruin everything.
<v Speaker 2>What do we do now?
<v Speaker 1>Drive to the Langhamoe Telle and inform his majest of
<v Speaker 1>what has happened, then returned with him firm after that,
<v Speaker 1>my dead.
<v Speaker 3>Chap, the case will be ended, missus Barney Lodge.
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm I am all impatience yourself and this photograph
<v Speaker 1>will still be there, Mister Holmes, I have every reason
<v Speaker 1>to believe so, your majesty, I must confess this is
<v Speaker 1>going to be something of an ordeal, and I suggested
<v Speaker 1>to let me do the talking, your majesty. I think
<v Speaker 1>I know how to handle the lady, Mister Sherlock Holmes ugly, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>I am, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 2>How I do know?
<v Speaker 1>Just told me that she would be likely to call.
<v Speaker 1>She has left for the continent with her husband. You
<v Speaker 1>means she's her Finion never took return then the papers
<v Speaker 1>and the photograph or this lost mister Holmes. Listen see
<v Speaker 1>followed me.
<v Speaker 2>She said, took you for something.
<v Speaker 1>I hope you find it. This was about Paul. There's
<v Speaker 1>a sliding channel behind the summer. Here it is, he said,
<v Speaker 1>it's the photographs. Dames, there is a photograph, but it's
<v Speaker 1>a photograph of the lady alone. Here's a letter, and
<v Speaker 1>it's addressed to me. You want to say home, my
<v Speaker 1>dear mister Sherlock Holmes. You really did it very well.
<v Speaker 1>Until after the fire alarm, I had no suspicion. But then,
<v Speaker 1>when I realized how I had betrayed myself, I began
<v Speaker 1>to think I'd been warned that if the King employed
<v Speaker 1>an agent, it would certainly be you. May I congratulate
<v Speaker 1>you on your disguise as the dear old pleasure right.
<v Speaker 2>Got you for much new films.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, here go on? What else does you see? Let
<v Speaker 1>me see? My husband and I both thought that the
<v Speaker 1>best recourse was fight, So you will find best empty
<v Speaker 1>As to the photograph of the King and yourself, His
<v Speaker 1>majesty may rest in peace, Thank goodness for that. I
<v Speaker 1>love and am loved by a better man than he.
<v Speaker 1>I leave another photgraph, however, that you might care to possess,
<v Speaker 1>And I remain dear mister Sherlock Holmes, very truly yours.
<v Speaker 1>I really not nay aDNA. What a woman?
<v Speaker 2>What what?
<v Speaker 1>What a magnificent woman? She pooled me completely. But oh
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, your majesty. I I've been unable to bring
<v Speaker 1>your business to a more successful conclusion. And the contrary,
<v Speaker 1>my dear sir, nothing could be more successful. I know
<v Speaker 1>that Irene's world is in violent The incriminating photograph is
<v Speaker 1>now as safe as if it were in the fire.
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad to hear your master say, sir, I.
<v Speaker 1>Am immensely indebted to you. Now, pray tell me in
<v Speaker 1>what way I can reward you. This, the ring that
<v Speaker 1>I wear, I should be, majesty has something that I
<v Speaker 1>should value, even mildly. You have for to name it
<v Speaker 1>this photograph Id's photograph. But certainly, however, you must let
<v Speaker 1>me give you something more substant, Majesty. This is something
<v Speaker 1>I saw treasure all my life. This as a golden
<v Speaker 1>sovereign I received from the lady's hand. They will remind
<v Speaker 1>me that I was once strict by a woman, a
<v Speaker 1>woman that I shall never forget. What a woman that
<v Speaker 1>missus Adley, Why should I say missus Norton.
<v Speaker 2>Ah, that's the kind of woman.
<v Speaker 1>I could really go for it.
<v Speaker 2>Doctor, You could just between our souls, you know. I
<v Speaker 2>sort of well, I sort of could go for him.
<v Speaker 2>So she is intelligent. Yeah, she was rich, beautiful.
<v Speaker 1>That's the kind of woman you want sitting next to
<v Speaker 1>you in front of a cozy fire on a nippy
<v Speaker 1>fall night, just the three of you, three mm hmm
<v Speaker 1>you she and a glass of Pattery Port just more
<v Speaker 1>I That Patrick California Port is some wine. Why that
<v Speaker 1>Patrick family really knows how to make good wine, all right?
<v Speaker 1>And no one look at all the experience they've had
<v Speaker 1>ever since they started the Patrick business way back in
<v Speaker 1>the eighteen hundreds, the Petrie family has handed down from
<v Speaker 1>father to son, from father to son, the art of
<v Speaker 1>selecting perfect sun rife in California grapes and making them
<v Speaker 1>the clear, fragrant, delicious wine. Those letters P E t
<v Speaker 1>R I on the label of every bottle of Petrie
<v Speaker 1>wine are the per assurance of the Petrie family that
<v Speaker 1>every drop of wine in that bottle is good wine.
<v Speaker 1>It's got to be because Petrie took time to bring
<v Speaker 1>you good wine. Well, doctor Watson, that was a great
<v Speaker 1>story you told me.
<v Speaker 2>I would like it, mister Botel. That's why plan to
<v Speaker 2>tell you a sequel to it next week. A sequel
<v Speaker 2>that sounds exciting, though, why I think you will find
<v Speaker 2>it it proves to be that, mister Botel. It's a
<v Speaker 2>story that takes place twenty years after Night's adventure, and
<v Speaker 2>once again the principal part is played by a woman.
<v Speaker 2>Only in this case it isn't Irene Adler, it's her
<v Speaker 2>daughter who and now, mister Bartel. Before I go, I
