Sherlock Holmes - Unfortunate Tobacconist

<v Speaker 1>This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
<v Speaker 1>transmitted to our men and women overseas by Cohort Wave
<v Speaker 1>and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
<v Speaker 1>Radio Service.
<v Speaker 2>Pet Free Wine brings you.
<v Speaker 1>Battle Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of
<v Speaker 1>Sherlock Holmes. The Petree family, the family that took time
<v Speaker 1>to bring you good wine, invite you to listen to
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson tell us about another exciting adventure he shared
<v Speaker 1>with his old friends that master Detective Sherlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 3>It began on a on a summer evening in nineteen
<v Speaker 3>hundred and six. I'd been prolonged walk in the park.
<v Speaker 3>I remember when I returned to Baker Street and entered
<v Speaker 3>our rooms. Holmes looked up at me with a twinkle
<v Speaker 3>and spo.
<v Speaker 1>Ecluing with hope, Watson, I have a spidd.
<v Speaker 4>Walk Manifola, he should come with me.
<v Speaker 3>The park was looking particularly beautiful about Chef Jurico absence.
<v Speaker 5>I've decided to write another monograph.
<v Speaker 4>Oh, what's the subject?
<v Speaker 1>Discern occupational liability to murder. For instance, the immortality rate
<v Speaker 1>is naturally high among policemen and detective positions are murdered
<v Speaker 1>with fair regularity, but the murder of a dentist is rare.
<v Speaker 5>And whoever heard of a murdered veterinary recision?
<v Speaker 4>It's quite true.
<v Speaker 3>But what's the occasion for this little homily?
<v Speaker 5>I've been browsing over my newspaper clippings.
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you would recall it.
<v Speaker 5>A hearing of a murdered tobtaconist.
<v Speaker 4>Wants so that I do.
<v Speaker 1>Yet my tippings informed that no less than three tobacconists
<v Speaker 1>have been murdered in the past six months, and all
<v Speaker 1>the murders have occurred in the same small shop at
<v Speaker 1>the eastern to London. Now, why whose first three tobacconists
<v Speaker 1>would be murdered in the same shop?
<v Speaker 5>Come, now, give me a logical solution to the problem.
<v Speaker 4>We know, well, well, let me see. You say that
<v Speaker 4>the shop's in the eastern Yes, is near the river.
<v Speaker 5>As it happens, it's on the water's edge.
<v Speaker 4>And supposing the.
<v Speaker 3>Tobacconist shop was the headquarters of a smuggling ring, perhaps
<v Speaker 3>boxes of cars unloaded from the top and brought to
<v Speaker 3>the shops, and cars containing pearls or opumous Having.
<v Speaker 1>Watch some idear fool, you're doing splendidly. I'm just walk
<v Speaker 1>in the path more frequently. You're positive it's stint lady.
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, you're you're making fellow. I'll show you not
<v Speaker 4>sorry expecting anyone.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, probably a visitor, missus Hudson, come on with
<v Speaker 1>a fascinating period. Now, why are free to Bacconist's murders?
<v Speaker 3>Well because they they know too much, that says Amanda's
<v Speaker 3>share and the profets. So the head of the ring
<v Speaker 3>decides to kill them.
<v Speaker 2>Cars for them.
<v Speaker 1>I want some my nymous congratulation.
<v Speaker 5>I can see that I'm very lucky in having a biographer.
<v Speaker 1>But such a lively imagination.
<v Speaker 5>Oh oh, glad to see you.
<v Speaker 1>I hope I'm not including not at all, my dear fellow,
<v Speaker 1>Alarm said down anything remarkable on hand?
<v Speaker 5>Oh no, miss Home being very particular.
<v Speaker 1>Ah, then tell me all about it. The stude can't
<v Speaker 1>anything from me?
<v Speaker 5>Can I say? Yes?
<v Speaker 1>There is something on my mind and no mistake, and
<v Speaker 1>it concerns the free murder to paknists. I see splendid
<v Speaker 1>now either, blazy, did you know that your magic?
<v Speaker 5>I'll tormal it wasn't. It's simple deduction.
<v Speaker 1>Observe the finding regards peering out of the Strand's wrist bucket.
<v Speaker 5>They are of a fast.
<v Speaker 1>Superior quality to his rusful brand. Obviously the scene of
<v Speaker 1>his latest investigation as profits certain worlds, will we say
<v Speaker 1>the professional purposites my rightless son.
<v Speaker 5>Of course you are cavery one, mister, thank you us
<v Speaker 5>my pipe. Well, how about you, doctor.
<v Speaker 4>Oh thank you?
<v Speaker 1>Turn about you, coronas and now inspect Cone tell me
<v Speaker 1>about the.
<v Speaker 5>Murder to pacness? How much do you know about the case.
<v Speaker 5>That's what I've read in the papers, And.
<v Speaker 3>Curiously enough, we were discussing the affair as you walked
<v Speaker 3>in the shirt.
<v Speaker 5>It's a strange business, gentlemen. I need for hold of the.
<v Speaker 4>Old story today.
<v Speaker 1>When i'd long talked to young Jack Longword, he's the
<v Speaker 1>owner of the show.
<v Speaker 5>In relation to what.
<v Speaker 1>General Longworth it taller member of Parliament who battled so
<v Speaker 1>successfully against the slum clearance his son, mister Roones, what's
<v Speaker 1>my young fellow too? When his father died he inherited
<v Speaker 1>this shop, along with a lot of other property in
<v Speaker 1>the East Dead well, how big a shot gorge sold
<v Speaker 1>in the wall, doctor, like all the other shops in
<v Speaker 1>their part of London. Young mister Lungworth tells me, first
<v Speaker 1>rents it to a man by the name of George Grinnet.
<v Speaker 5>He lives there with his daughter Lily, and made it
<v Speaker 5>quite a nice go out of the shop. Six months ago,
<v Speaker 5>when Deck.
<v Speaker 1>Lungworth was abroad, George Grinnet.
<v Speaker 5>Has a stroke and nearly kicks the kit. He nearly dies.
<v Speaker 5>What happened the well?
<v Speaker 1>While he's in the hospital, his daughter gives up the
<v Speaker 1>lease on the shop. A few days later an Italian
<v Speaker 1>takes it over, and a couple of weeks later he's
<v Speaker 1>found with his float cat.
<v Speaker 5>Did you investigate that first made of self?
<v Speaker 1>No, mister Roones, seemed like any of a dozen kiddings
<v Speaker 1>we get in their part of London. A shop keeper
<v Speaker 1>cut up his tail empty no clue. Who was the
<v Speaker 1>next tenant, a scotchman Lookee by the name of Macintosh.
<v Speaker 5>A few weeks after he moved in the same thing
<v Speaker 5>happened to him that time. I did go down there,
<v Speaker 5>but I couldn't find.
<v Speaker 1>Out nothing was robbery again the parent motive, yes, sir,
<v Speaker 1>that the kin won the same even was strangled with
<v Speaker 1>a silk scarf.
<v Speaker 5>Silk scarf. Eh And who was the third tenant?
<v Speaker 1>The man whose murdered yesterday, the Hindoo fellow, a man
<v Speaker 1>by the name of Muka Jib.
<v Speaker 6>He takes it over a week last Friday, and yesterday we.
<v Speaker 1>Finds him nice with the back and his money.
<v Speaker 7>God.
<v Speaker 1>Of course I was down there before you could say
<v Speaker 1>Crystal Palace.
<v Speaker 5>But once again I didn't find out nothing.
<v Speaker 1>No knife, no finger prints of til no footprints, just
<v Speaker 1>a very dead ind was youngest along with the landlord
<v Speaker 1>in England when the murders occurred. That's the funny thing
<v Speaker 1>about it, Miss Rose. He doctor Tilbury yesterday morning. He
<v Speaker 1>didn't know nothing about what had been going on.
<v Speaker 3>I imagine he'd have difficulty in renting the shop after
<v Speaker 3>three murders.
<v Speaker 1>That's just it, doctor, That's why he comes to me
<v Speaker 1>at the yard. George Gridneth is first tenant of the shop,
<v Speaker 1>moved back there to day with his daughter Liddy. Young
<v Speaker 1>mister Long was worried about them.
<v Speaker 5>If you ask me, he's more worried about that daughter
<v Speaker 5>than he's a bad old man. Grillith.
<v Speaker 1>So the original sentence of the shop back in residence
<v Speaker 1>again day and what do you want me to do?
<v Speaker 4>Well?
<v Speaker 1>I perhaps you would be interested enough to come along
<v Speaker 1>with me.
<v Speaker 5>And look at the shop, mister. I very glad to
<v Speaker 5>my dear fellow, it's got at Watson resident master, Well,
<v Speaker 5>Mike Grant, how are you.
<v Speaker 2>What? Yes, yes, he he shall.
<v Speaker 1>Now of course I do everything I can certainly have
<v Speaker 1>dinner together soon, comn splendid idea?
<v Speaker 5>All right?
<v Speaker 4>All right? Is that your brother home?
<v Speaker 5>Yes?
<v Speaker 8>To start?
<v Speaker 5>I do think you might have told me the whole truth.
<v Speaker 5>What do you mean, sir?
<v Speaker 1>I thought your visit was prompted by a need for
<v Speaker 1>friendly assistance. I didn't realize that you came here virtually
<v Speaker 1>on a government order.
<v Speaker 5>World. It wasn't just quite like that.
<v Speaker 4>It's throw the government got to do with the case.
<v Speaker 3>And how does your brother Micraft?
<v Speaker 2>Yet?
<v Speaker 5>One thing? We make certain?
<v Speaker 1>There's obviously a great deal more in this case than
<v Speaker 1>Astrad would have us believe.
<v Speaker 4>Why do you say that to him?
<v Speaker 1>It was, dear in mind alf a little bit occasionally,
<v Speaker 1>Micraft is the British Government nice part of London to
<v Speaker 1>take a walk in on a foggy night, Ainty Generals.
<v Speaker 5>All our policemen work down here in pairs, you.
<v Speaker 4>Know, so I don't blame them. It's a vile neighborhood.
<v Speaker 5>There's the shop just head of us with a sign
<v Speaker 5>hanging out.
<v Speaker 1>And and no, there is again see that bearded in
<v Speaker 1>new scouting over around the corner of the area.
<v Speaker 5>He's been haunting the place ever since. Chenda you didnhim
<v Speaker 5>to do a hans place? Eh?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and yesterday home the Hindu propart of the shop
<v Speaker 3>was murdered.
<v Speaker 5>Exactly.
<v Speaker 4>Well, here we are.
<v Speaker 5>I'll go in first, pressed for it's Lily, George Great's
<v Speaker 5>daughters with the shop to keep your wet.
<v Speaker 9>Oh, it's you, inspectulus charge.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, mister, I brought some gentlemen to see your father.
<v Speaker 1>This is mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 5>Please to meet you.
<v Speaker 4>Aren't sure you do, young Lily?
<v Speaker 5>Is your dad O, No.
<v Speaker 9>Inspector, he won't be until after dinner.
<v Speaker 5>We're down at the docksy.
<v Speaker 9>Did you see about some cigar shipments? Mister long after
<v Speaker 9>you if you want to see you? We were just
<v Speaker 9>adding some tea in the back room.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I like these gentlemen to meet him.
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, come out of the shop.
<v Speaker 1>Yet what is it, Lily, Oh, spect lestride and this
<v Speaker 1>must with mister Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure how you doing highs Longa.
<v Speaker 1>I'm very glad the inspector was able to persuade you
<v Speaker 1>to come down here. Mister Holmes, I'm greatfully worried about
<v Speaker 1>this business, particularly since Lilli's father insisted on coming back here.
<v Speaker 5>I'm afraid they're in great danger.
<v Speaker 4>But I can't make.
<v Speaker 5>Mister Brillet see it.
<v Speaker 7>And baby.
<v Speaker 5>I wonder if I might ask you a few questions.
<v Speaker 5>Of course, mister Jones, before your father.
<v Speaker 1>Had a stroke, did you receive any threats concerning his
<v Speaker 1>occupancy of the shop.
<v Speaker 9>Well, if he did, he never tell me about him.
<v Speaker 9>It wouldn't surprise me. I often tell him his biggest
<v Speaker 9>enemies himself.
<v Speaker 5>If you know what I mean, Yes, I.
<v Speaker 1>Think I do, Miss Brillet, when you are a part
<v Speaker 1>of this illness. Who decided to give up the lease
<v Speaker 1>on the shop?
<v Speaker 4>I did?
<v Speaker 9>No money was coming in, and well it looked like
<v Speaker 9>Dad might be an invalid for life. Of course, I
<v Speaker 9>couldn't rand the shot by myself anyhow. I never did
<v Speaker 9>like this part of London. It wasn't the right business
<v Speaker 9>for father.
<v Speaker 5>What was his reaction when you told him to have
<v Speaker 5>given up the lease? Oh?
<v Speaker 9>He was awful angry with me, said, I forgot to
<v Speaker 9>do it without asking him.
<v Speaker 5>By the way, Yeah, we saw that builded into again
<v Speaker 5>as we walked up just now.
<v Speaker 9>It's been aiming around ever since we came back here, Inspector.
<v Speaker 9>Has he actually come into the shop, No, but he
<v Speaker 9>keeps walking by and looking in the window. I'm sure
<v Speaker 9>if we both went into the bedroom or left the
<v Speaker 9>shop for a little while, would he'd.
<v Speaker 4>Come right in?
<v Speaker 5>And I suggest we give him the opportunity you're seeking
<v Speaker 5>the grid.
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if you would.
<v Speaker 5>Miss along with would mind leaving.
<v Speaker 7>The shop for a while?
<v Speaker 5>Of course not mister Holmes, to.
<v Speaker 1>Make your departure rather stentitious. And shall we say, though
<v Speaker 1>that he can't help noticing it. Give us half an
<v Speaker 1>hour or so and then come back. Perhaps you wouldn't
<v Speaker 1>mind going with.
<v Speaker 5>The mastrad mister Rose.
<v Speaker 1>And this is my clay, I know, I know, But
<v Speaker 1>in a situation like this, Watson and I work much
<v Speaker 1>better alone.
<v Speaker 5>We may have to go a little outside the law in.
<v Speaker 1>Your presence, Mighty Dallases, never think I was a detective too.
<v Speaker 7>Half an hour.
<v Speaker 4>For Alstrad It touches the usual.
<v Speaker 5>By I blame him.
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaving in completely in the dark. Come on, Watson,
<v Speaker 1>behind the counter. No no, no, no, not under the door.
<v Speaker 7>Chat we lift the flap, so.
<v Speaker 5>I just be clutched down behind here. That's it, Watson, Yes,
<v Speaker 5>it's my bucket.
<v Speaker 1>Good you meantime, make yourself as comfortable as these clamp
<v Speaker 1>quarters will commit you may have.
<v Speaker 5>I don't wait ahead of this.
<v Speaker 7>Look looks as we do.
<v Speaker 10>Now, Yes, yes, here he comes, I like button, put.
<v Speaker 7>Your hands up.
<v Speaker 4>I got you covered with this.
<v Speaker 5>My man?
<v Speaker 7>What are you doing here?
<v Speaker 5>Who?
<v Speaker 1>Who are you?
<v Speaker 4>Never mind who I am? Just answer my question.
<v Speaker 5>I do not speak very.
<v Speaker 2>Sick to him in the eye.
<v Speaker 7>Up take me, Chirsty tomaw.
<v Speaker 4>By homego who comes here?
<v Speaker 1>Umaradai from Johnny sector such a.
<v Speaker 2>Now you don't my man?
<v Speaker 4>Just say?
<v Speaker 7>I do all right?
<v Speaker 1>About to go?
<v Speaker 5>He's an our side.
<v Speaker 4>I wish you tell me what fun is going on?
<v Speaker 4>Who that man was, and why you let him go?
<v Speaker 1>And investigated from the Foreign Office, Old Chap giving his
<v Speaker 1>instructions by my brother Micraft Micraft, yes, o fellow, And
<v Speaker 1>then my brother fails to tell me all the facts
<v Speaker 1>concerning this case. I begin to think that these triple
<v Speaker 1>murders have far greater ramifications than we ever dreamed of.
<v Speaker 11>After Watson's story will continue in just a second, just
<v Speaker 11>about time enough for me to mention that any meal
<v Speaker 11>becomes a better meal.
<v Speaker 2>When you serve it with Petree wine.
<v Speaker 1>And say, you'll find that Petree California Burgundy and Petree
<v Speaker 1>California So Turned are just made to go with food.
<v Speaker 1>That Petrie Burgundy is a rich red wine that's bosom
<v Speaker 1>pals with any meat or meat dish.
<v Speaker 2>Boy, what a flavor. And that Petrie so.
<v Speaker 5>Turn is the delicate white wine that's just.
<v Speaker 1>Perfect with chicken or with fish. Yes, sir, with food,
<v Speaker 1>you just can't feed our good Petree wine. And now
<v Speaker 1>back to tonight's you Sherlock Holmes adventure. Poppling case is
<v Speaker 1>occupying the attentions Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson. Three murders
<v Speaker 1>have taken place in a small tobacconist shop in the
<v Speaker 1>East end of London. As we rejoin our story, it's
<v Speaker 1>late at night and Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, accompanied
<v Speaker 1>buying sect Lestrade, are once again walking toward the ill
<v Speaker 1>fated spot. Well, I don't see that you've accomplished much,
<v Speaker 1>mister Ooms, except that.
<v Speaker 5>You've just bought me a nice dinner.
<v Speaker 1>And make your progressless ran if anybody the elimination of
<v Speaker 1>obvious suspects it.
<v Speaker 5>There's a pattern to this case, and I should give
<v Speaker 5>us a clue.
<v Speaker 1>How do you mean home, consider the obvious motive of
<v Speaker 1>these murders, and particularly observed the results state obtain the.
<v Speaker 5>Murders the same in all three killings.
<v Speaker 1>Rob thept of the two pounds from the till blank
<v Speaker 1>you to the real murder?
<v Speaker 5>Now, will you mean? Miss Crillit is your father.
<v Speaker 9>Yet I can't tell you how anxious I am for
<v Speaker 9>you to talk to him. I'm going to meet mister longway.
<v Speaker 9>He's taken me to the music or I should be
<v Speaker 9>anxious after Jim. I hope you'll be able to stay
<v Speaker 9>with jam until then.
<v Speaker 5>Don't you worry, Miss Griddit will keep an eye on
<v Speaker 5>him so much.
<v Speaker 9>Oh, oh, mister, please don't go into our rooms in
<v Speaker 9>the deck, will you. I've left things to a fright
<v Speaker 9>for me.
<v Speaker 5>I quite understand this. Will see lathe.
<v Speaker 2>That's going to the shop.
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's you, inspector, These gentlemen mister Sherlock Combs and
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watts.
<v Speaker 5>Did you meet young rely just now?
<v Speaker 1>She told her she was going after the musical with
<v Speaker 1>mister Longworth. Yes, I'm afraid we had quite a set
<v Speaker 1>to about that. A very strong willed girl. Lilive in
<v Speaker 1>a strong will.
<v Speaker 5>And i'd assume that you disapprove of your daughter's association
<v Speaker 5>with mister Longworth. Of course I do.
<v Speaker 2>With a top a lot of money.
<v Speaker 1>Then it's so blanche you can't see that he's up
<v Speaker 1>to no good. I'm pretty sure either.
<v Speaker 5>Afraid I might find out what's really at the back
<v Speaker 5>of these are murders.
<v Speaker 4>And what is your theorism?
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll tell you it's in confidence.
<v Speaker 2>Got nothing to back it up.
<v Speaker 5>I understand there's been talk of widening the docks around
<v Speaker 5>here and it makes property values go up. You see.
<v Speaker 6>Of course I am long We've been trying to buy
<v Speaker 6>up all the other shops along the waterfront here, but
<v Speaker 6>they wouldn't sell if you ask me. He's had these
<v Speaker 6>murders done, just a parting people away so that they
<v Speaker 6>he could buy cheap.
<v Speaker 4>I'm not saying that he did the murders himself.
<v Speaker 6>He understand that he planned them and these parts is
<v Speaker 6>easy enough any night to get a throat cup for
<v Speaker 6>a couple of quid.
<v Speaker 5>That's why I'm greg your ear dance. You see I
<v Speaker 5>I just got another warning warning?
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean for warning?
<v Speaker 6>Down the snow slipped under that door? They're not three
<v Speaker 6>quarters of an hour ago.
<v Speaker 5>For calling you at eight thirty to night. You know
<v Speaker 5>what's good for you.
<v Speaker 1>You'll be waiting for me alone. By any funny picks,
<v Speaker 1>you will go where I sent the rest of them.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, obvious in the killer possibly what's the time? Now
<v Speaker 5>it's past it.
<v Speaker 6>I was hoping you, gentlemen, would wait in our rooms
<v Speaker 6>back of the shop. You can hear what's going on
<v Speaker 6>in here, and if it ties in the rough stuff,
<v Speaker 6>you can pop in a habit.
<v Speaker 5>That's what I was about. Toddest myself are either way?
<v Speaker 5>Will you just step behind the counter? Gents through here? Ah?
<v Speaker 6>Here we are exactly Buckingham Palace back here, But you
<v Speaker 6>can make yourself come from a concergental.
<v Speaker 4>Don't you worry about us?
<v Speaker 2>Oh?
<v Speaker 7>I better turn up the guests.
<v Speaker 5>This bloke spot the light under the door in here?
<v Speaker 5>Quite smell a rat?
<v Speaker 1>Hell ah, As.
<v Speaker 6>Soon as I see him coming in the shop, I'll
<v Speaker 6>knock twice on the door like this, and that'll give
<v Speaker 6>you the signal that he's here.
<v Speaker 5>Is that right? Might not keep your ears open, gents,
<v Speaker 5>I may need your help.
<v Speaker 4>Where are you?
<v Speaker 8>I can't see a thing over here? Wat you know
<v Speaker 8>I've got another theory. Why Jack along with my bablers,
<v Speaker 8>you listening him along withouth, knows that that doesn't approve
<v Speaker 8>of his heaving into the dull.
<v Speaker 3>So when he goes abroad, he leaves instructions to murder
<v Speaker 3>the baptist. The assassins don't know about left having a stroke,
<v Speaker 3>of course, and they keep murdering the wrong follow Well, that.
<v Speaker 5>Makes very good sense, doctor. What do you say, mister Roones?
<v Speaker 5>Hum home, Brian, that's not the least I haven't. I
<v Speaker 5>was just exploring. That goes the front door. Somebody's coming.
<v Speaker 5>We're going to go in.
<v Speaker 3>We've gotta get in there once something at all?
<v Speaker 5>What's locked? Never mind?
<v Speaker 7>Head, come on, help, Come on one more, poor devil.
<v Speaker 4>He slashed the knife.
<v Speaker 7>Billet, billet?
<v Speaker 5>What the killers gone away? Can serve your energy?
<v Speaker 1>The murderer lies there. But that's really, of course it is,
<v Speaker 1>that's just fucking Watson. I think you'll find the bloodstained
<v Speaker 1>knife said, look.
<v Speaker 4>Good lord, here's a razor in his bucket. It's covered
<v Speaker 4>with blood. Do you mean to say that he slashed himself.
<v Speaker 1>I said, the handcuffs tithing in the stride while he's
<v Speaker 1>still play acting. It may be more difficult to handle
<v Speaker 1>when he realizes the game's up. No need, Well, I've
<v Speaker 1>knocked the wound in men out cold. Perhaps you will
<v Speaker 1>tell me what's going on, mister Yes, I'm complete in
<v Speaker 1>the dark tool almost very simple, really religious, just staged
<v Speaker 1>a fake tank on himself, pull us into believing that
<v Speaker 1>someone else is the murderer, threatening composed by himself for
<v Speaker 1>the occasion.
<v Speaker 5>But we heard voices, We heard the shop door open.
<v Speaker 1>He heard Grit talking to himself as the shop door.
<v Speaker 1>That's how he gave himself away. How do you mean,
<v Speaker 1>mister owns. Whenever the shop door opens, there's a bell
<v Speaker 1>that jangles, so.
<v Speaker 7>There is dangle.
<v Speaker 1>When we were in the back room, Brillet got us
<v Speaker 1>in there, locked the door on us unabtrusively, and staged
<v Speaker 1>his little drama.
<v Speaker 5>But we heard the door creak open and close.
<v Speaker 1>Mister Roll, the creak of this flap in the counter
<v Speaker 1>would sound exactly the same, My dear pelone on listen, Yes,
<v Speaker 1>why how did.
<v Speaker 4>You spot the Grit was the man?
<v Speaker 1>It was obvious from the beginning that since nothing changed
<v Speaker 1>about the shop except the ownership, that the attackers were
<v Speaker 1>directed against any tobacconist who was.
<v Speaker 5>Not relig himself.
<v Speaker 1>Of course, his daughter Lily obviously knew what was going on. Well,
<v Speaker 1>I don't see how you figure that one out, mister
<v Speaker 1>Rowe every remarked that she made so that she loved
<v Speaker 1>her father, she knew his failings. In any case, she
<v Speaker 1>gave me the final clue what clothes that in very.
<v Speaker 5>Point of the asking me not to go into the
<v Speaker 5>back room of the shop.
<v Speaker 1>Of course she meant the reverse of what she said.
<v Speaker 1>I followed her advice. When you were explaining out here
<v Speaker 1>to this land.
<v Speaker 4>What did your find?
<v Speaker 1>Mister Rows, the scrillet had obligingly left the secret door open,
<v Speaker 1>a door leading to a passageway that seemed to go
<v Speaker 1>down to the waterfront.
<v Speaker 5>Send it in a minute.
<v Speaker 4>But I still don't understand Let's motive homes.
<v Speaker 5>Either the why or chap. No.
<v Speaker 1>I suspect that from the interest of the Foreign Office
<v Speaker 1>in the case this shop has been the headquarters of
<v Speaker 1>a of an espionaswering, I'm afraid the final answer to
<v Speaker 1>that question would have to be given by someone else.
<v Speaker 5>Oh, by my elder brother Micraft. Humiliating, isn't it? Watson?
<v Speaker 1>And what was the final answer to the question? Doctor
<v Speaker 1>her Homes, who's writer as usual?
<v Speaker 4>And mister Forman.
<v Speaker 3>The shop had been the headquarters of Aspiring operated by Grilleth,
<v Speaker 3>and many international criminals had been smuggled in England.
<v Speaker 5>Foreign ships mowed up the river and died.
<v Speaker 2>Mister Grillard hang for his crime.
<v Speaker 4>No, no he didn't, my boy, for he came to Trowy.
<v Speaker 4>You haven't a stroke and he died.
<v Speaker 2>Probably just as well for his daughter's sake.
<v Speaker 4>O his daughter a lovely girl. Did she marry long way?
<v Speaker 4>Indeed she did.
<v Speaker 3>As a matter of facts to the wedding, it was
<v Speaker 3>a very wonderful wedding reception would be lay yourself, miss
<v Speaker 3>deform and in fact you'd delighted very much.
<v Speaker 4>Say it's a pretty good wine.
<v Speaker 5>Ha ha.
<v Speaker 2>Was it a Petri wine by any chance?
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was so good and easy it might have been, you.
<v Speaker 1>Mean, because Petrie wine is the kind of a wine
<v Speaker 1>you can't forget.
<v Speaker 4>That's exactly what I do.
<v Speaker 1>That because the Petrick family really knows all there is
<v Speaker 1>to know about the fine art of turning luscious sun
<v Speaker 1>ripe and grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. You see, the
<v Speaker 1>Petrick family has been making wine ever since they started
<v Speaker 1>the Petrie business way back in the eighteen hundreds, and
<v Speaker 1>they've been able to hand on down in the family
<v Speaker 1>from father to son, from father to son, every bit
<v Speaker 1>of their skill and experience. That's why Petrie Wine is
<v Speaker 1>so good today, because Petrie took time to bring you
<v Speaker 1>good wine, and say, don't forget to take a moment
<v Speaker 1>yourself and send for your free recipe calendar. Remember send
