<v Speaker 1>Pet Tree Wine brings you. <v Speaker 2>That's a rock phone, and Nigel Bruce. <v Speaker 1>And few Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the <v Speaker 1>family that took time to bring you good wine, invites <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. And I'd like to ask you a short, <v Speaker 1>simple question. Have you ever tried a glass of sherry <v Speaker 1>before dinner? If you haven't, you'll never know what you're <v Speaker 1>missing till you do. And make that sherry Petrie California sherry, <v Speaker 1>because Petree sherry is the best beginning a good meal <v Speaker 1>ever had. Just hold a glass of Petrie sherry to <v Speaker 1>the light. <v Speaker 2>Look at its. <v Speaker 1>Wonderful clear amber colored. Now, just get a whiff of <v Speaker 1>that aroma bouquet the experts call it. I'm telling you, <v Speaker 1>you can just smell those big luscious grapes. Now, best <v Speaker 1>of all, Petrie sherry, Sip it, Sip it slowly so <v Speaker 1>you don't miss one single drop of this truly delicious wine. Yes, <v Speaker 1>without a doubt, Petrie sherry is good wine. And incidentally, <v Speaker 1>Petrie makes two kinds of sherry, regular sherry and Petree <v Speaker 1>Pale Dry. Both are fine, And if you're not sure <v Speaker 1>which fight like best, do what I do. Don't buy one, <v Speaker 1>buy two, try them both, and serve them proudly, because <v Speaker 1>the name Petrie is the loudest name in the history <v Speaker 1>of American wines. And now I'm sure our good friend <v Speaker 1>and host, doctor Watson is waiting, so let's go and <v Speaker 1>join him. <v Speaker 2>Good at good evenings. <v Speaker 1>He download you do seem very chipper tonight tonight, Yes. <v Speaker 2>But they've been in disgrace most of the days. <v Speaker 1>Oh well, they've been up to after the Seals again. <v Speaker 2>Oh my boy. This time it was chickens. They got <v Speaker 2>into my neighbor's coop and had a delightful time. Fortunately <v Speaker 2>there were no casualties. But I'm afraid that my my <v Speaker 2>good neighbor policy has suffered a slight diplomatic strain. But <v Speaker 2>you've come here to listen to Sherlock Holmes's adventures, not <v Speaker 2>those of my dogs. So throw up your usual chair, <v Speaker 2>make yourself comfortable, and I'll get on with it. <v Speaker 1>Tonight's story last week got to you told us it <v Speaker 1>was a case in which Sherlock Holmes found the solution <v Speaker 1>without ever meeting any of the suspect. That's quite correct, mister, <v Speaker 1>about home, as remarkable as an exhibition of long distance <v Speaker 1>detection as I ever recall. <v Speaker 2>But HUD's the story of yourself, my boy. It's in <v Speaker 2>the autumn of nineteen hundred and three and Sherlock Holmes <v Speaker 2>was about to retire to his v farm on the <v Speaker 2>Sussex Downs. I must confess, mister Bouto, that my heart <v Speaker 2>was heavy during those last few weeks we spent at <v Speaker 2>Bega Street. I thought of the countleous adventures that we'd <v Speaker 2>shared together. I remember those many evenings of quietship and companionship, <v Speaker 2>a far blazing away in the heart, as Homes laid <v Speaker 2>back in the shadows, playing his beloved violin. And then, <v Speaker 2>mister Bartel, I saw what happened. There'd be a violent <v Speaker 2>jangle on our doorbell, and some wretched soul in misery <v Speaker 2>would be standing before us and pouring out his troubles. <v Speaker 2>Suddenly the violin would be discarded, and Holmes, a dreamer, <v Speaker 2>would become Holmes, the man of action. Come, what's in <v Speaker 2>the games afoot? He'd say, And in a few moments <v Speaker 2>later we'd be rattling off in a cab through the <v Speaker 2>foggy gas at London streets. <v Speaker 1>Yes, doctor, I can imagine it was pretty hard for <v Speaker 1>you to leave Baker Street. <v Speaker 2>It was, mister Boutel. However, as it transpired, there was <v Speaker 2>one more adventure awaiting us before we left. A few <v Speaker 2>days before the actual move, I persuaded Holmes to take <v Speaker 2>an afternoon off from miss packing and accompany me on <v Speaker 2>a visit to the laboratory of an old friend of mine, <v Speaker 2>a Professor Jean Boulin. He was an eminent French scientist <v Speaker 2>engaged in very important work at the London University. But <v Speaker 2>by the way, this was at a period, mister Bartelwyn <v Speaker 2>radium was something extremely new and extremely rare. The university <v Speaker 2>had just acquired a minute but invaluable portion of the element, <v Speaker 2>and Professor Buhlin was in charge of the research connected <v Speaker 2>with it. I can remember the picture so well as <v Speaker 2>Homestead and Abarte talking with Keen interest side. <v Speaker 3>Quite amazing. <v Speaker 4>I think that this tiny leaden vessel contains one of <v Speaker 4>the most precious substances in the world. <v Speaker 5>Yes, mister Holmes, they have a great deal to thank <v Speaker 5>Madame Couri for this new element may force us entirely <v Speaker 5>to advise our concepts of all physical structure. <v Speaker 2>Your research is a great responsibility. <v Speaker 3>Of Bulain, it is Watson. <v Speaker 5>I must be less that I wish the authorities here <v Speaker 5>would give me a free hand. I will see such <v Speaker 5>infinite possibilities in the use, particularly the medical use of radium, <v Speaker 5>But my conservative superior seemed to regard it only as <v Speaker 5>a toy as scientist curiosity. The major experiments according as <v Speaker 5>first exactly, I've given no opportunity to do anything that's <v Speaker 5>in the east radical. <v Speaker 2>How can re search you ever get anywhere along those lines? <v Speaker 5>It is a great misfortune, Holmes, that you've determined to <v Speaker 5>attire to your bee farm this project. We could use <v Speaker 5>such an analytical mind as yours. <v Speaker 2>How many assistants do you have working with your buller? Three? <v Speaker 5>But none of them are very inspired. I'm afraid my <v Speaker 5>best assistant is a man in Barker. He's a little <v Speaker 5>arm the conservative eye too, but he is extremely adroit. <v Speaker 5>The other two a young man called Taylor and the <v Speaker 5>girl Gladys Hughes. They mean well, but coach, I fear <v Speaker 5>is the only word to describe them. Where you like, <v Speaker 5>I was just amused to observe that in describing my assistance, <v Speaker 5>I chanced to be literal as well as figurative. It's <v Speaker 5>odd that random symbolism can sometimes would never mind that <v Speaker 5>you would. <v Speaker 2>Like to see that. <v Speaker 5>To the laboratory, Yes, I have some extraordinarily interesting photographic <v Speaker 5>traits that they called the emanations of radium. <v Speaker 2>They'll be here. <v Speaker 3>I think you will find them most fascinating. <v Speaker 4>Baker Street, particularly when our rooms are full of packing cases, <v Speaker 4>seems rather grab after the scientific stimulations of Professor Bulland's laboratory. <v Speaker 2>Jaff. Yes, you seem grab even if we hadn't been <v Speaker 2>the same. I feel frightful, depressed. I just don't know <v Speaker 2>what I'm going to do with our fliers. <v Speaker 6>To the young man Watson and a susceptible one, you'll <v Speaker 6>marry again, No I won't. You will old Chap, and <v Speaker 6>you'll end up by being glad that your old roommate, <v Speaker 6>your difficult, rather unsociable old roommate, is living in retirement <v Speaker 6>on the Sussex down rubbish. <v Speaker 2>I shan't feel any of the kind in any case. <v Speaker 2>I don't think you'll be able to stay in retirement <v Speaker 2>for long. Your mind is much to a left to <v Speaker 2>be satisfied by being a sort of midwife to a <v Speaker 2>bunch of beastly beam. <v Speaker 3>Dear what I feel it will never eat honey again. <v Speaker 2>Yes, you can laugh, Homes, but I could see how <v Speaker 2>excited you were when but suggested that you might help <v Speaker 2>him with his radium experiments. <v Speaker 3>Leffering suggestion, I must have fit my dear Bella just <v Speaker 3>the same. Mat Oh, who the devil's at? <v Speaker 2>From the urgency of the tag on the bill pool, <v Speaker 2>I'd say that it was a class You. <v Speaker 3>Don't hit him off pretty long, chap. <v Speaker 2>Yes, I'll do my best, or I want. <v Speaker 3>An explain that I'm no longer in practice. <v Speaker 2>Two late homes, he's first passed. Missus Hudson, here comes <v Speaker 2>rushing up the stairs. <v Speaker 3>I can't found it. <v Speaker 2>I beg your pardon, sir. No, I am not sure, and. <v Speaker 3>You must be mister Holmes. That is my name, sir, <v Speaker 3>But may I ask what it? Can't see your rather <v Speaker 3>world written entrance, my huskeeper, Missus Hudson, I haven't had <v Speaker 3>time to consider it. <v Speaker 1>My sister Gladys Hughes has vanished, vanished into thin air. <v Speaker 3>You've got to find it for me, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 1>I'll pay you any fee name, but you've got to find. <v Speaker 4>Mister Hughes I'm extremely sorry that your sister has vanished, <v Speaker 4>but I'm afraid that I can do nothing to help you. <v Speaker 3>I'm retiring, I'm giving up my practice. If you want <v Speaker 3>help me, I'll go to someone who will. That's exactly <v Speaker 3>what I mean, Sir. <v Speaker 4>I suggest that you go to the police, or if <v Speaker 4>you insist on a private investigator, I can strongly recommend <v Speaker 4>mister Martin Hewitt's. Yes, his address is thirty nine point Street, <v Speaker 4>night screech, good day to you, and good Dame's Hugh. <v Speaker 4>And it's like ninety ten is concerned that his manners <v Speaker 4>a great deal to be designed. <v Speaker 2>Homes Homes Joannie Hughes his missing sister, that was the <v Speaker 2>name of one of Professor Buller's assistants. <v Speaker 4>Will hurt, true fellow, but it's probably only a coincidence. <v Speaker 4>Both Christian and surnames are extremely common ones. <v Speaker 2>All Right, I have a feeling that it may not <v Speaker 2>be a kind of book. <v Speaker 4>Come now, my dear fellow, don't you try him embroil <v Speaker 4>me in a fresh adventure. I'd retired, and I'm. <v Speaker 3>Leaving for Sussex in a few days. And if any <v Speaker 3>more plans come. <v Speaker 7>Runching at my door, Bill, I shall ignore them, But <v Speaker 7>mister Holmes have got to help me. My son, Jeffrey <v Speaker 7>Barker has appeared. <v Speaker 3>I'm highness is Barker, but I'm afraid. <v Speaker 2>I am homes. Jeffrey Barker was the name of Professor <v Speaker 2>Buller's chief assistant. <v Speaker 3>Watson, please believe me when I say that I'm not <v Speaker 3>being bageled further. And this is Taylor. I'm sorry, but <v Speaker 3>I can't help you with mister Holmes. <v Speaker 2>It's my husband. He's disappeared. <v Speaker 7>We've only been married three months and now it's terrible. <v Speaker 8>But I've been so worried it wasn't he started to <v Speaker 8>work on that strange new radium with Professor jen b Worms. <v Speaker 2>You can't pretend it's coincidence. An alonga Ganni's shoes, Jeffrey <v Speaker 2>Barker and now Taylor, the three assistants. <v Speaker 4>Of Professor Buller. I know it, Watson, Missus Taylor. The <v Speaker 4>moving van will be hit tomorrow, Tick to take my <v Speaker 4>things to Sussex. <v Speaker 3>I shall follow them immediately. I have retired, madam. Do <v Speaker 3>you understand that retired? <v Speaker 2>There's another telegram for arms for. <v Speaker 3>The fourth today? Why wi Scottland, godie me along to put. <v Speaker 2>A strange business. Three people engaged in the search of <v Speaker 2>this new element radium all disappeared within forty years. Scotland <v Speaker 2>Yard needs your help. <v Speaker 4>Let them earn their salaries. They watching and I've helped <v Speaker 4>them for the last time. Well let's see how they've <v Speaker 4>catched their latest diffusion. Oh, this isn't from Scotland Yard, <v Speaker 4>it's from my brother. My craft, my craft, what's you gotta. <v Speaker 2>Say, isn't the. <v Speaker 4>Now Professor Bullan has disappeared, Great Scott and the radium <v Speaker 4>with him. Surely the pattern is obvious. Sholock radium must <v Speaker 4>be found. Could solve the problem for you, But I'm <v Speaker 4>too lazy. Consider what a flashy case for you to <v Speaker 4>retire on regards my craft? <v Speaker 3>Ah, the old devil os this is shocky. <v Speaker 2>My old friend Buller has. <v Speaker 4>Dispersed watching, and now my brother asks me to investigate. <v Speaker 4>Hmmm the pressure becomes irresistible. Very well, I bow to patent, <v Speaker 4>postponed my retirement for a few hours. <v Speaker 2>Good man, you know you'll you will never really retire. <v Speaker 3>Yes, my Croft says, there's an obvious pattern in this case. <v Speaker 3>Our first step of goss. <v Speaker 4>Will be to interview all the doctors who preat patients <v Speaker 4>without charge you are. <v Speaker 3>Surely they're obvious. <v Speaker 2>Well, it isn't all obvious to hear. I don't know <v Speaker 2>why you always leave me in the dark. Well what <v Speaker 2>makes you love he left in the dark. It's just <v Speaker 2>like the old times in their homes. Come on or follow, <v Speaker 2>let's go the games are what doctor McDonald? This is <v Speaker 2>mister Sherlock Holmes. Mister Sherlock Holmes. <v Speaker 3>I'm very glad to meet you, and are you doctor McDonald? <v Speaker 2>I swear that I've never been as many doctors offices <v Speaker 2>I have. That mister Holmes is in search of some <v Speaker 2>information haves doctor you you can help him. <v Speaker 3>I'll do my best. <v Speaker 2>What do you want to know, mister Holme? <v Speaker 3>Whether you have any charity? <v Speaker 4>Patients with skin eruptions or growth of any kind, I <v Speaker 4>mean patience, but have not kept their appointments recently. <v Speaker 3>Perhaps now let. <v Speaker 2>Me see wait wait, yes, I do old missus Pendle. <v Speaker 2>She had a very bad taste of lupus. <v Speaker 3>Gip you for a treatment here, yes, and I've seen <v Speaker 3>nothing of her splendid Can you give me her address? <v Speaker 3>Or stepped and it's in my book here. <v Speaker 2>I hope this isn't a false trial. <v Speaker 3>Homes and explored the cedar chap. <v Speaker 4>Here we are Missus penty thirty six Elm Gardens Flap'm. <v Speaker 3>Missus Pendall thirty six Olm Gardens flap'am. Thank you Artur. <v Speaker 3>I'm greatly obliged to you. Getting restless, Watson, Yes, I. <v Speaker 2>Am a little. We've been waiting outside Missus Pendall's house <v Speaker 2>over law. Why don't we knocking the door? She says, <v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, my chap we mustn't fight, man. <v Speaker 2>I hope that she's going to lead us to our quarry. <v Speaker 2>You see some doors opening, A woman's coming out. <v Speaker 4>This is Missus Pendall, beyond doubt with that bandage on <v Speaker 4>the upper part of her face. <v Speaker 2>Hello, she's turning down the street. We're going to follow her. <v Speaker 3>As Actually, let's give us a let's give us touch. <v Speaker 3>We don't want her to suppot us. <v Speaker 2>Well while we're waiting, perps, you care? What are two <v Speaker 2>points for me? I'm still very much in the dark. <v Speaker 2>The pleasure well one of the things that I under <v Speaker 2>We've given her enough of a staff. Let's follow very well. <v Speaker 2>But look here you asked me what I didn't understand. <v Speaker 2>Two things puzzle me? What did Micoff mean by the <v Speaker 2>pattern of the case, why are we following a poor <v Speaker 2>Sico lady through the London street. <v Speaker 3>I'll ask answer the first question, and I think the <v Speaker 3>answer to the second robe was. <v Speaker 2>Of the parent. <v Speaker 3>The pattern of the case is clear. <v Speaker 4>Professor bu Land his three assistants of Danish together with <v Speaker 4>the radium, but their disappearances were not simultaneous. Had they <v Speaker 4>been so, it would have been a transparent case of theft. <v Speaker 4>But with the disappearances gradual rather than simultaneous, the emphasis <v Speaker 4>has been subtly shifted. <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can see that, Holmes, but what do you <v Speaker 2>suppose at the back of the whole business can't be <v Speaker 2>a simple case of theft. Radium is enormous available, but <v Speaker 2>it'd be hard stuff to sell again. <v Speaker 3>Not to an unscrupulous criminel of the knowledge of medicine. Watson. <v Speaker 4>My own theory, and I admit at the moment that <v Speaker 4>it's pulier theory, is that Professor Bulan was worried because <v Speaker 4>he was so hampered in his research. You remember that <v Speaker 4>he stressed his great faith in the medical values of <v Speaker 4>the new element radium. <v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes he did. <v Speaker 4>It's more than possible that he places the rights of <v Speaker 4>science above the rights of property. <v Speaker 3>That he's determined that he and his group. <v Speaker 4>Will carry on their indariable research unhampered by the conservative <v Speaker 4>restraints of the university. <v Speaker 2>I see what you made, Hums, But how does Missus Pendall, <v Speaker 2>the poor woman that we're following into the picture. <v Speaker 4>Because one of the chief lines of radium research on <v Speaker 4>the continent so far has been with her sort of trouble. <v Speaker 4>Professor Bullan's obvious move, if my theory is correct, would <v Speaker 4>be to contact povertystri contatients, promise them relief, induce them <v Speaker 4>to abandon their treatments, and submit to him. <v Speaker 2>By Joius Holmes, that seems perfectly logical. In yet I <v Speaker 2>can't believe that Bullin. <v Speaker 4>Would be Missus Pendleton has reached her destination. She's turned <v Speaker 4>on the driveway. <v Speaker 2>Yes, she's walking up to what looks like it an deserted. <v Speaker 3>Warrior chap, and they're out of our sight. <v Speaker 2>She's opened the door without knocking. She's gone in. <v Speaker 4>I'll wait here for a month or two, then we'll <v Speaker 4>follow her. I have a feeling that her old friend, <v Speaker 4>Professor Buhla is not far away. <v Speaker 2>Wall Since you're probably right, but I hope we can <v Speaker 2>do something to protect him from the consequences of what <v Speaker 2>he's done. It might easily mean the finish of a <v Speaker 2>brilliant career. <v Speaker 3>Everything I power, But you know as well as I do. <v Speaker 2>Look, look, look, look, sus Pett's coming out. <v Speaker 3>Okay, yes, which is in trouble? Come on, missus Pendle, <v Speaker 3>what's wrong? <v Speaker 2>I don't know how you know my name or will <v Speaker 2>you please? <v Speaker 7>But he asked me what's wrong? <v Speaker 8>They tell me to come here to this address and <v Speaker 8>I'll find a doctor rudelt my face that comes here. <v Speaker 2>And what do I find? What did you find, madam? <v Speaker 7>A corpse, sir, That's. <v Speaker 8>What I find, A dead man lying there in a <v Speaker 8>great pool of his own blood. <v Speaker 1>You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just <v Speaker 1>a second. So I'm just going to remind you that <v Speaker 1>there's one wine which everyone likes and which is good <v Speaker 1>on any occasion, Petrie California Sherry. You want to swell <v Speaker 1>wine to serve before dinner, the perfect answer is Petrie Sherry. <v Speaker 1>If you want a wine that's delicious after dinner or <v Speaker 1>later in the evening when you're just talking things over <v Speaker 1>with your friends again, you want Petrie Sherry. And if <v Speaker 1>you want a wonderful wine, to serve at cocktail time. Naturally, <v Speaker 1>you want Petrie sherry. Cherry is a wine that's good <v Speaker 1>at any time, and Petrie, well, Petrie is the wine <v Speaker 1>that's good. <v Speaker 2>All the time. <v Speaker 1>Well, doctor Watson, So following the tracks of all, missus <v Speaker 1>Pendall led you to a corpse. <v Speaker 2>Yes, of course, Sherlock Holmes and I went at once <v Speaker 2>into the broken down warehouse to examine the scene of <v Speaker 2>the treasuredy slumped over a desk in a dark and <v Speaker 2>chevy room, afflicting candle giving him a carb Liking to <v Speaker 2>the scene, there's the body of a man. I think <v Speaker 2>I knew it's identity even before Holmes turned to me, <v Speaker 2>he said, that's a bull, all right, Watson murdered the cause, Yes, <v Speaker 2>but examine him yourself, will you? Yes, there's no doubt <v Speaker 2>about it. This wound couldn't have been self inflicted. The <v Speaker 2>right oracle of the heart has has been pierced. <v Speaker 4>I'm gonna go estimate death took place not more than <v Speaker 4>a couple of hours ago, I should say on how <v Speaker 4>to reconstruct the killing. The murderer came up from behind <v Speaker 4>Boulan as he sat here, Krypton armor out his throat. Yes, <v Speaker 4>see the finger marks on the right hand side of <v Speaker 4>the neck here, and then stabbed him in the chest, <v Speaker 4>then withd the weapon and disappeared, leaving. <v Speaker 3>No traces confounded. The dusty rumor is an ideal place <v Speaker 3>for according footprints, but I have a dozen different prints here, <v Speaker 3>including Missus Pendall's hello, here's the princess smaller woman show. <v Speaker 2>We must be out of Gannet hughes his assistant out. <v Speaker 4>But that really proves nothing except that she was here <v Speaker 4>with him, the fact that you were convinced of anyway. <v Speaker 4>The question is, come on, let's go outside and talk <v Speaker 4>to missus pendleer again. What a shocking way to die, <v Speaker 4>and what a great loss to science. I suppose the <v Speaker 4>murderer must have stolen the radium. We found no trace <v Speaker 4>of it in there. <v Speaker 3>And doubted that the profession of the radium as the <v Speaker 3>motive for the murderer. Missus Pendall, poor, I'm a friend. <v Speaker 2>Soir, madam, I knew it. <v Speaker 7>I never should have come here, I never should have left, <v Speaker 7>doctor McDonald. <v Speaker 3>Missus Pendall, let me ask you a question. <v Speaker 8>I can't be answering no question, sir. I don't know <v Speaker 8>nothing about how the poor soul got his self murdered. <v Speaker 8>What would the poor woman like me know about? No, no, no, <v Speaker 8>my good woman, my friend isn't suggesting it. Told do <v Speaker 8>you know anything about the murder? <v Speaker 4>Then? <v Speaker 3>What do you want to know? <v Speaker 2>Sir? <v Speaker 3>Who told you to come to this address today? <v Speaker 7>Missus Pendall a young lady, now I shall. She was too. <v Speaker 8>She met me coming out to Dr McDonald's yesterday and <v Speaker 8>told me that if I come here today, i'd find. <v Speaker 7>A doctor who could kill me. <v Speaker 2>That was obviously in the hues homes. I believe that <v Speaker 2>you're theory was right. <v Speaker 4>Come on, Missus Beendle. We'll escart you to the nearest <v Speaker 4>police station where you can't report the murder. <v Speaker 3>Yes, sir, and then Mudson, we must come attract the <v Speaker 3>radian that perhaps is more important than any life. <v Speaker 2>How are we going to do that? We haven't a <v Speaker 2>clue to go on. <v Speaker 4>Remember, the Professor Bullan's three assistants are still missing. We <v Speaker 4>must go to the homes of each of them and <v Speaker 4>see what can be found out. Excus you must realize <v Speaker 4>by now that your sister's disappearance is part of something <v Speaker 4>vastly more significant than you think. I must ask you, <v Speaker 4>and that my sister didn't disappear. What do you mean <v Speaker 4>so you came to us and said that you had <v Speaker 4>or it was all a mistake. Gentlemen, she came back today. <v Speaker 4>She had just been down to the seaside for a <v Speaker 4>short rest and she forgotten to let me know. I'm <v Speaker 4>sorry to have bothered you. <v Speaker 3>May I see your sister at once please, I'm sorry, <v Speaker 3>mister Holmes, but she's out just now. <v Speaker 2>I don't know where she's gone or what time shall <v Speaker 2>be back. <v Speaker 3>This is Baker. I've come to you about your son's disappearance. <v Speaker 8>I'm afraid that isn't My son didn't disappear, as Holmes, <v Speaker 8>it was all misunderstanding. <v Speaker 2>He came home today. Well, maybe speak to him, please, missus. <v Speaker 7>Barker, I'm afraid that's impossible. <v Speaker 4>Do you think he does, Miss Taylor, I want to <v Speaker 4>talk to you about your husband's disappearance. <v Speaker 1>That he came home this afternoon. <v Speaker 2>Mister Holmes. <v Speaker 8>At first I was so suspicious, but when he explained, well, <v Speaker 8>but I'm sure you know how it is in the <v Speaker 8>first few months of marriage. <v Speaker 3>Those can't funk it, Watson, We're no near other solutions. <v Speaker 2>I meanwhile, here we are back in Veaker Street. The <v Speaker 2>fans of the moving there has taken all your things off, Pussics. <v Speaker 2>Perhaps you should give up the case. <v Speaker 4>Holmes and follow them as my career and I'm not <v Speaker 4>a failure. No no, no, no, my dear fellow, I <v Speaker 4>shall not leave London until this problem is solved. <v Speaker 2>The TiSER sit down looks to me as if it <v Speaker 2>may prove a lengthy weight. <v Speaker 4>I've rarely felt more frustrated ones All three vanished technicians <v Speaker 4>home safely with plausible stories or at least plausible alibis, <v Speaker 4>and poor Bullah murdered. <v Speaker 3>The radium stolen must makes no sense to me. It <v Speaker 3>must make sense. <v Speaker 4>Padam was well enough to find in the beginning, just <v Speaker 4>the question of finding the right key. In a way, <v Speaker 4>it's clear enough what's happened. One of the three assistants, <v Speaker 4>placing the financial value of radium above its value to science, <v Speaker 4>murdered Bullin to obtain the prize. The other two, fearing <v Speaker 4>that they're complicitly in the original Partwood, involved them as <v Speaker 4>accomplices in murder, ran home in estavished an Araba. <v Speaker 2>The murderer did the same thing. For it's obvious one <v Speaker 2>of the three must be the killer and the thief. <v Speaker 3>Yes, the question is which one of the three is <v Speaker 3>the culprit. <v Speaker 2>If poor Buller were al if you could help us, <v Speaker 2>my dear Chap. <v Speaker 3>If Boulan were alive, there would be no murderer. Let's see, <v Speaker 3>let's see, let's see. Boulan gave us a few bare <v Speaker 3>ef facts about his three assistants. I wonder, But of course, <v Speaker 3>what's more? I have the answer? <v Speaker 2>The case is sold. What do you mean, Holmes, that <v Speaker 2>cannot be solved if I haven't done enough investigation. If <v Speaker 2>it comes to that you haven't even seen any of <v Speaker 2>your three suspect. <v Speaker 3>Isn't necessary? <v Speaker 2>You know? Did it? Yes? <v Speaker 3>Wat's and soho? <v Speaker 2>But we know nothing to set them apart from each <v Speaker 2>other except that one of them is a girl. You <v Speaker 2>know more than that, my dear fellow, think hard wha <v Speaker 2>Boulan told us that Jeffrey Barker was an excellent technician, <v Speaker 2>while the other two were somewhat true. <v Speaker 3>We know even more than that. <v Speaker 2>That's why I know what home. <v Speaker 4>I sha'n't even need to stay in London and follow <v Speaker 4>the case through to its logical conclusion. <v Speaker 3>A telegram to Micraft and another to Scotland. The answer <v Speaker 3>to take care of it, Yes, and I can be <v Speaker 3>in Sussex before the moving ban. <v Speaker 4>After all, you mean you're going now before the case <v Speaker 4>is sold? It is solved, my dear fellow, wal it <v Speaker 4>remains be done. There's some purely routine work. What's the time, splendid? <v Speaker 4>If we have, you can catch the three forty five <v Speaker 4>Express from Waterloo. Yes, I was counting on you spending <v Speaker 4>a few days down there with me, old Chap. I <v Speaker 4>hope you can spare the time. I should hate to <v Speaker 4>make so flastic a change without my good old friend. <v Speaker 2>What's up my side? Oh? Good god? Delighted? But but what, <v Speaker 2>my dear boy, the case of the disappearing scientists. Wait <v Speaker 2>until we. <v Speaker 3>Get the plastic, shall we? As soon as I get <v Speaker 3>an answer to my telegrams, I'll explain the whole thing <v Speaker 3>to you. And now let's show we. I train leaves <v Speaker 3>in forty minutes. <v Speaker 2>What he wants? Some facial but. <v Speaker 3>Peaceful down here? <v Speaker 2>Isn't it extremely? The moments? I find it rather nerve wrecking? <v Speaker 3>Oh why you know? <v Speaker 2>I want you open that telegram and tell me if <v Speaker 2>you're a solution to the Buller cases? Was the correct <v Speaker 2>one ever? <v Speaker 3>Manage? <v Speaker 2>Jeff? <v Speaker 4>See mm hmm, it's micraft listen, heerd Ofer arrested and <v Speaker 4>Radium recovered. Well done, Sherlock, though you took longer than <v Speaker 4>I expected regards micraft. <v Speaker 2>Reflations, Holmes, and now perhaps you'll condescended to tell me <v Speaker 2>I solved. <v Speaker 4>Don't be angry with me, old jab I only wanted <v Speaker 4>to make sure that my solution was correct. <v Speaker 3>You remember the the nature of the fatal wound on <v Speaker 3>Bulan's body. <v Speaker 4>Close in stabbed to the right oracle of the heart <v Speaker 4>from behind, proving that the murderer was clearly right handed. <v Speaker 2>Oh what does that signify? Almost everybody's right handed? <v Speaker 3>No, no, not in this case. <v Speaker 4>If you recall, Professor Bulan said that Jeffrey Barker was <v Speaker 4>adroit while his other two assistants were goose. Then he <v Speaker 4>laughed because he said his fuck is true, both literally <v Speaker 4>and figurative. <v Speaker 2>And still don't see what I was talking about. <v Speaker 3>Oh, think of the origin of the word adroit abdoir. <v Speaker 2>Why is the. <v Speaker 3>French word for right and ghost is the word for left, <v Speaker 3>meaning the two ghost assistants were left handed, and therefore <v Speaker 3>only the ad right, the right handed Baker, could have <v Speaker 3>inflicted the fatal wound. <v Speaker 2>I see it now, homes fin. You know, if you <v Speaker 2>remember that mark of bullans at the time we found <v Speaker 2>his body, you could have solved the case much soon after. <v Speaker 4>And when my old friend Watson points out that my <v Speaker 4>memory is failing and my mind's sluggish, then I know <v Speaker 4>that my retirement has been postponed for. <v Speaker 3>Far too long. <v Speaker 1>Well so, so Horns really went through with this idea <v Speaker 1>of becoming a bee is. <v Speaker 2>Of course, of course it became one of his favorite hobbies. <v Speaker 2>Do you know anything about the raising of bees? Oh? <v Speaker 1>Nothing at all. The only connection I've ever had with <v Speaker 1>bees was very remote once I had the hives. <v Speaker 2>Don't you heard it? <v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, no, mister bun Oh yes, doctor Watson. <v Speaker 1>But seriously, I do know one thing about bees. Even <v Speaker 1>when you're all about them, you're apt to get stunned. <v Speaker 2>Who knows. <v Speaker 1>So I'll make my hobby Petrie wine. You know you <v Speaker 1>can't miss when you buy Petrie wine because Petrie wine <v Speaker 1>is always good wine. The Petrie family has been making <v Speaker 1>fine wine for generations. In fact, they started way back <v Speaker 1>in the eighteen hundreds, and they've handed on down from <v Speaker 1>father to son, from father to son. The knowledge and <v Speaker 1>experience absolutely essential to the making of truly fine wine. <v Speaker 1>And since the making of Petrie wine is a family affair, <v Speaker 1>you can be sure that the name Petrie means something <v Speaker 1>on a bottle of wine. Those letters P E, t <v Speaker 1>R I are more than a trademark. They're the personal <v Speaker 1>assurance of the Petrie family that every drop of Petrie <v Speaker 1>wine is good wine. So when you buy wine of <v Speaker 1>any type, you can put your faith in the Petree <v Speaker 1>label because Petree took time to bring you good wine. Well, <v Speaker 1>Doctor Watson, what new Sherlock Holm story are you going <v Speaker 1>to tell us now? <v Speaker 2>Next week, mister Boucherla, I'm going to tell you about <v Speaker 2>one of the weirdest adventures that Hopes and I ever had. <v Speaker 2>It concerns a haunted chapel in the wilds of Cornwall, <v Speaker 2>strange organ music that played at midnight, and the headless <v Speaker 2>ghost of a murdered. <v Speaker 1>Monk to Sherlock Holm's adventure was written by Dennis Green <v Speaker 1>and Anthony Boucher and were suggested by an incident in <v Speaker 1>Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story.
