Sherlock Holmes - In Flanders Field

<v Speaker 1>This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be
<v Speaker 1>transmitted to women and women overseas by short wave and
<v Speaker 1>through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
<v Speaker 1>From the stage of the Paramount Theater in Hollywood. Pet
<v Speaker 1>Tree Wine brings you Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in
<v Speaker 1>the New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The pet Tree Family,
<v Speaker 1>the family that took time to bring you good wine,
<v Speaker 1>invite you to listen to doctor Watson tell us about
<v Speaker 1>another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, that
<v Speaker 1>Master Detective Sherlock Holmes. You know something, If right now
<v Speaker 1>it were possible for me to ask every one of
<v Speaker 1>you what you had for dinner this evening, I'll bet
<v Speaker 1>a good many of you would say chicken. Chicken is
<v Speaker 1>an all American favorite. The boy you just haven't tasted chicken, said,
<v Speaker 1>You've tried it together with a glass of whale chilled
<v Speaker 1>pet Tree California so Turn. Tree So Turn is a perfect, mute,
<v Speaker 1>fine wine, just made to go with chicken. That Petri
<v Speaker 1>So Turn is a wick wine, delicate in color, and
<v Speaker 1>what a flavor, a flavor that comes right from the heart.
<v Speaker 1>Luscious sun ripe and grapes. You can just taste those
<v Speaker 1>wonderful grapes. And I'll tell you something. That petri so
<v Speaker 1>turn is pretty much on the terrific side when served
<v Speaker 1>with fish or any kind of seafood too, And that's
<v Speaker 1>a fact. But say, whenever you serve that petri so turn,
<v Speaker 1>remember you can serve it promptly, because the name Petrie
<v Speaker 1>is the proudest name in the history of American wines.
<v Speaker 1>And now for our weekly doctor's appointment, let's knock on
<v Speaker 1>his library door and see if.
<v Speaker 2>There's no point in doing that, missus petric I'm right
<v Speaker 2>behind you.
<v Speaker 1>Hello, doctor Watson, don't tell me you've been stalking me.
<v Speaker 2>M was on the patio and I heard your footsteps,
<v Speaker 2>so I thought that i'd.
<v Speaker 3>Come in and fetch you. Let's go back and sit
<v Speaker 3>out there. Shall wait.
<v Speaker 2>It's a beautiful evening.
<v Speaker 1>At fine with me, doctor. Ah, Here we are.
<v Speaker 2>I'll settle myself down in a churn and light a
<v Speaker 2>cigarette if you have one.
<v Speaker 3>I'll get on with my story.
<v Speaker 1>Last week, who told us a concern and adventure that
<v Speaker 1>you and Sherlock Holmes had in Flanders during the First
<v Speaker 1>World War.
<v Speaker 3>That's right, the society did.
<v Speaker 1>I thought that you and the Great Man had retired
<v Speaker 1>at that period we had my boy.
<v Speaker 2>But it was unly natural that as soon as the
<v Speaker 2>war broke out we both offered our services in any
<v Speaker 2>capacity that might help our country.
<v Speaker 1>Of course, and odd it's a night story again, doctor.
<v Speaker 2>It was in the winter of that first year. Things
<v Speaker 2>weren't going very well for the Allies. The Germans advanced
<v Speaker 2>on Palace and the picture.
<v Speaker 3>Was looking very black.
<v Speaker 2>It was just twenty four hours before the famous Battle.
<v Speaker 3>Of the Marne began.
<v Speaker 2>The battle had changed the early course of the war.
<v Speaker 2>When Holmes told me that we had to go up
<v Speaker 2>to the front lines on a secret mission. We'd been
<v Speaker 2>in Paris for several weeks, but Homes just solved the
<v Speaker 2>case of the missing Atacoon.
<v Speaker 1>I was anxious to get back to Aland and my work.
<v Speaker 3>In the war hospitals.
<v Speaker 2>But of course this new summons was in the nature
<v Speaker 2>of the command, and so late on a rainy September afternoon,
<v Speaker 2>Holmes and I, with a boom of gunfire and ar eas, found.
<v Speaker 3>Our doves in the front seat of a staff.
<v Speaker 2>Car, flushing and jolting its way towards the battle.
<v Speaker 1>I haven't too fast, you gentmen, you're.
<v Speaker 2>Not at all No, No, you're doing a splendid job. Man,
<v Speaker 2>look out, considering the state of the road, Like you said, hello,
<v Speaker 2>the gunfar is getting near at homes?
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I imagine we're much further to go. Have this urgent, sir,
<v Speaker 1>We're nearly there.
<v Speaker 3>Have you noticed the two civilians and the back seat homes?
<v Speaker 4>Yes, answered woman. And a distinguished looking man several years
<v Speaker 4>have seen you there. I'll tell you he's a Shakespearean
<v Speaker 4>actor of some note who never achieved the faint which
<v Speaker 4>he thinks he's entitled. I shouldn't get all surprised if
<v Speaker 4>he feels that he's been slighted in not perceiving a knighthood.
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's amazing, saying, how can you possibly reduce all
<v Speaker 2>that from just looking at man as.
<v Speaker 4>Got into the car elementary, My dear fellow, I didn't
<v Speaker 4>deduce this. We saw him twice last year in the
<v Speaker 4>London theater. If you're ron, his name is Michel Morris.
<v Speaker 4>Answer his biography. He's a friend of my brother Mike Crofts.
<v Speaker 4>He told me about him.
<v Speaker 3>What do you suppose he's doing up here in the
<v Speaker 3>front line.
<v Speaker 4>His brother is General Sis Stanley Morris, who's command of
<v Speaker 4>this particular front stand.
<v Speaker 1>It would seem reasonable to presume that he is brother.
<v Speaker 4>Has come up here to get the performance with the
<v Speaker 4>front line troops. I suppose this hut is as far
<v Speaker 4>as we can black Sergeant on Frida se sir, we're
<v Speaker 4>four miles from the front line. Now you have to
<v Speaker 4>clear your papers.
<v Speaker 1>Here. See that ruined farm house there, sir, Yes, sergeant, the.
<v Speaker 2>General's headquarter, Yes, sir, Come on, Watson, good lord, it's
<v Speaker 2>pelting with ray here.
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a dash for it.
<v Speaker 2>Who goes there?
<v Speaker 1>Friend, give the boss Saint Crispin past friends and show
<v Speaker 1>your papers.
<v Speaker 3>How did you know the past word holmes?
<v Speaker 4>I was given it the formular tennis check slock Holmes
<v Speaker 4>from Dr Watson, isn't it.
<v Speaker 1>There's Captain and Captain Maxwell. General Morris's day. You can't.
<v Speaker 4>He asked people to scort you up to his headquarters
<v Speaker 4>by the way, where Mason Morris and his wife in
<v Speaker 4>the car with him.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, there just behind us. It was splendid. I'm afraid
<v Speaker 1>I her to last be your papers.
<v Speaker 3>Here's here's my permit.
<v Speaker 1>Captain Maxwell, thank you.
<v Speaker 4>I know you're both. Of course, if we can't afford
<v Speaker 4>to take any chances when they're good close the gat
<v Speaker 4>mid Lions.
<v Speaker 1>Let's see. Oh yeah, this that's fine, doctor. Everything's in order,
<v Speaker 1>is yours?
<v Speaker 3>Please?
<v Speaker 1>Mister Helms, here you are? Thanks? Who goes there? Friends?
<v Speaker 1>This is quite in order, mister Helms, papers, there you are,
<v Speaker 1>Captain Max Hello, missus Murrett. Oh are you getting nex well?
<v Speaker 4>And you've both met mister Kellock Holmes and doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 4>I suppose no, we haven't, even though we drove up
<v Speaker 4>in the same car. Natural reserve of us British as
<v Speaker 4>I suppose.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, miss Holmes, how do you do some I know
<v Speaker 1>your brother Micraft very well. How are you doctor?
<v Speaker 2>Knowing there to me choo to Morris, I saw you
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times the third last year and Georgia
<v Speaker 2>performances with my phone.
<v Speaker 3>Thank you sir.
<v Speaker 1>But then you must know my wife, my leading lady.
<v Speaker 5>How do you do?
<v Speaker 1>Gentlemen? How can I see your papers? Mister Mortters, it's
<v Speaker 1>just a matter of reform you want.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, missus Morris, I assume you and your husband
<v Speaker 2>are going to give her performance tonight.
<v Speaker 3>For the men going up the front line. He is doctor.
<v Speaker 3>We're very flattered.
<v Speaker 5>They've asked us to do some Shakespearean things, although I
<v Speaker 5>should have thought something a little lighter would have been
<v Speaker 5>more appropriate. The general he's Baker's brother, you know, thinking dips.
<v Speaker 1>Where my dear show Captain Max for your papers.
<v Speaker 4>Then we can all go along and see my brother
<v Speaker 4>Stanway very well. Amazing, mister Morris, dyes will look forward
<v Speaker 4>to curing your reading of shakespeare Saint Cristian speech from
<v Speaker 4>Henry the Fifth tonight.
<v Speaker 1>P press my soul, Holmes, How did you know I
<v Speaker 1>was planning to do it? Well? Was setting us so
<v Speaker 1>perfect in the times? So appropriate?
<v Speaker 4>I can't conceive an English actor who could resist the temptation.
<v Speaker 4>I noticed that your brother appreciated the fact in naming
<v Speaker 4>today's password. Yes, it's amazingly appropriate. You know it's almost
<v Speaker 4>five hundred years ago to the day that the Battle
<v Speaker 4>of Agincour took place.
<v Speaker 2>Well, let's hope that the results of the forthcoming battle
<v Speaker 2>will be equally successful.
<v Speaker 1>For yes, indeed, oh, by the way, homes.
<v Speaker 3>This will probably seem rather stilly, do.
<v Speaker 4>You, But I'm an invetered autographic collector, and I have my.
<v Speaker 1>Book Shore with me. I wonder if you'd minds signs reglected,
<v Speaker 1>mister Morris give me a fin what.
<v Speaker 4>Home you'll find yourself and quite distinguished company in that book, sir,
<v Speaker 4>So I see Andelia Patti Pincer Norwich. Oh no Feltis.
<v Speaker 4>Oh yes, she was one of my admirers when I.
<v Speaker 1>Fill in Munich before the war.
<v Speaker 4>I suppose now that our countries are fighting, I should
<v Speaker 4>tear that page out.
<v Speaker 1>Do you know I cannot help but feel that art
<v Speaker 1>the appreciation of art are independent of national hatred.
<v Speaker 4>Criit so, sir, I myself still have a medal presented
<v Speaker 4>to me by the University of Leipzig for some trifling
<v Speaker 4>services no one, mister Morris, Oh, thank.
<v Speaker 1>You very much, Miss Hopes, a notable addition to my collection.
<v Speaker 2>I shall be regret to sign your for him tomorrows if.
<v Speaker 1>You'd like mature. That's very kind of a doctor, Captain Maxwell.
<v Speaker 1>If in order, don't you think we should be moving along?
<v Speaker 4>It's just what I was going to suggest by So
<v Speaker 4>I'll take you all straight up to General Morrison's headquarters.
<v Speaker 4>General Morris, they I introduced mister Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
<v Speaker 1>How do you do so? How do you know a
<v Speaker 1>lot about?
<v Speaker 4>You?
<v Speaker 1>Were long way from Baker Street, to do it. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>where is that brother of mine? Oh there you are, Maitland, Cincia.
<v Speaker 1>How nice to see you both again.
<v Speaker 3>Hello.
<v Speaker 1>The men will be glad you arrived, looking forward to
<v Speaker 1>your show tonight. We're very flattered that they want to
<v Speaker 1>hear us do some Shakespeare. Oh rubbish, old boy. With
<v Speaker 1>you and Cynthia up there on the platform, you could
<v Speaker 1>read the telephone book and they'd love your father very kind.
<v Speaker 4>Either way, you will find the stage very primitive, just
<v Speaker 4>a few trestles in a large tent and a curtain
<v Speaker 4>made of army blankets, and your dressing rules will be
<v Speaker 4>eaten worse.
<v Speaker 5>Oh, don't worry about our comfort, Stanley. As long as
<v Speaker 5>we cheer the boys out, that's the important thing.
<v Speaker 3>Yes.
<v Speaker 1>Of course. By the way, what program you have mapped up? Well?
<v Speaker 4>I thought we'd have two shows. The tent's not large
<v Speaker 4>enough to hold everybody at once, anybody anyway.
<v Speaker 1>We have to keep up an alert all the time.
<v Speaker 1>I think you can manage two wear separate shows off
<v Speaker 1>because I can stand it. I may look over and
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel it. You don't look.
<v Speaker 4>So you can take a look at the stage and equipment,
<v Speaker 4>and certainly Captain Maxwell take them over to the tent
<v Speaker 4>and show them what the facilities are with you, right,
<v Speaker 4>would you follow me?
<v Speaker 3>Yes?
<v Speaker 4>Of course, all right, I'm glad you're here, homes. I'm
<v Speaker 4>so I can speak quite freely in front of doctor
<v Speaker 4>Watson or yes, with perfect freedom, zoned, he's my colleague.
<v Speaker 4>There's no old army man himself?
<v Speaker 1>Really? What regiment first?
<v Speaker 2>Nor fomland Fels later a text the butchers in Afghanison
<v Speaker 2>wanted in the battle of mainline?
<v Speaker 1>Really? And then I'm sure I can speak pretty and
<v Speaker 1>while from Holmes. You know why you're up here so
<v Speaker 1>near the front line, don't you. I have a very
<v Speaker 1>shrewd suspicion, sir, I thought you had. That's why I
<v Speaker 1>asked for you to be sentire. You asked for me
<v Speaker 1>to be sent here, General, Yes, I understand.
<v Speaker 3>Well I did.
<v Speaker 1>You will doctor in due time.
<v Speaker 4>In the meanwhile, gentlemen, I'll have an orderly show you
<v Speaker 4>to your quarter.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, sir, and home, sir, take.
<v Speaker 3>A look around and keep your ears.
<v Speaker 4>Were comparatively a little distance from the German front lines,
<v Speaker 4>and yet there's a very puzzling silence just now.
<v Speaker 1>I noticed that half an hour ago, on our way
<v Speaker 1>up first, there's quite not a shilling exactly.
<v Speaker 4>It's unnatural and rather frightening at a time like this.
<v Speaker 4>You see, we're attacking at dawn. The enemy might be
<v Speaker 4>trying to infiltrate spies, and the old success of this
<v Speaker 4>battle depends on a surprise attack.
<v Speaker 1>I quite understand Sir Colm Watson.
<v Speaker 3>Home Home.
<v Speaker 2>The first performance starts in a few minutes. You know
<v Speaker 2>they're all there waiting. Why are you travling about up
<v Speaker 2>here in the mud in the.
<v Speaker 1>Rain for the pipe to the open air, But cheer
<v Speaker 1>our brains.
<v Speaker 2>Pipe in the open air is one thing that the
<v Speaker 2>piponer down over.
<v Speaker 1>Rains another is it raining? Didn't even notice it. I
<v Speaker 1>was listening to the silence.
<v Speaker 3>What do you mean?
<v Speaker 4>Thousands upon thousands of Germans, armed, Germans full of applying's
<v Speaker 4>and ethical hatred and desire to kill.
<v Speaker 1>I've crouched in frenches only a mile or two from
<v Speaker 1>the air.
<v Speaker 4>Surrounding outside an equal number of English boys, also armed
<v Speaker 4>and for the will, if not the desire, to fight,
<v Speaker 4>because they know their cause is the cause of freedom
<v Speaker 4>and justice. All these thousands poised, ready to pounce on
<v Speaker 4>each other and fight to the death and get beyond
<v Speaker 4>that patter of rain. There isn't to it but the
<v Speaker 4>sound to break the stillness of the September evening.
<v Speaker 1>H strange world.
<v Speaker 3>We live in old chap you'll be unusual tollical home.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I am not that.
<v Speaker 4>Let's be a little more practical, charlw I wonder what
<v Speaker 4>is wrong with the actors tonight? Well, you asked, Well,
<v Speaker 4>a little while ago I noticed missus Morris in a
<v Speaker 4>great state of excitement, surging towards the farmhouse the General is,
<v Speaker 4>and she went back to her own quarters.
<v Speaker 1>And now she seems to be headed in our direction.
<v Speaker 1>Anything wrong, missus Morris?
<v Speaker 3>Maitland, what's wrong with the Madam? He disappeared?
<v Speaker 1>What's happened? We were the tend together.
<v Speaker 5>Making up rop upon when in orderly came into the message.
<v Speaker 5>Maitland said it was from his brother Kit on the raincoat,
<v Speaker 5>and without seeing me back in a few moments, I
<v Speaker 5>waited and waited, and after a while I got worried.
<v Speaker 5>Now we don't miss the general myself. He said that
<v Speaker 5>he said, no madage, and that he hadn't seen.
<v Speaker 1>Any sign that Maitland, good, Laura, what kind of I
<v Speaker 1>don't know this, but I've frightened it what you.
<v Speaker 3>Like, do mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>You're a brave woman, Missus Morris, brave. I don't know,
<v Speaker 1>mister Holmes. Why the show must go on? I shall
<v Speaker 1>take your husband's place at home.
<v Speaker 3>Something's happened to make for Morris.
<v Speaker 4>You can daan jer to button two, but a thousands
<v Speaker 4>inside that tenter in mortal danger too.
<v Speaker 1>Tomorrow morning, any of them maybe.
<v Speaker 4>Copses on the fields of Pandas, But tonight they've been
<v Speaker 4>promised to show.
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that you can do it?
<v Speaker 1>Home? Oh?
<v Speaker 4>I think I can with the help of Missus Morris.
<v Speaker 4>I can't do it this home, can Missus Morris, And
<v Speaker 4>you will, if only to uphold that great tradition of
<v Speaker 4>the kitter. But the show must go on.
<v Speaker 1>Well the rest of Dr Watson's story in just a
<v Speaker 1>few seconds time. I'd like to take to tell you
<v Speaker 1>that if you've got a butcher who has meat, and
<v Speaker 1>you've got the points to get that at me, don't
<v Speaker 1>forget bring home a bottle of Petrie California Burgundy. Tell
<v Speaker 1>you why that Petro Burgundy. There's a rich red meal
<v Speaker 1>time wine that's wonderful with any meat or meat dish.
<v Speaker 1>That in fact pet trick Burgundy. Can make a banquet
<v Speaker 1>out of a hamburger and boy pet free Burgundy and
<v Speaker 1>old fashioned iriies stew are bosom companions. Just streacher usself
<v Speaker 1>some pet free Burgundy and share it with your family.
<v Speaker 1>Petrick Burgundy is the best friend a good meal ever had.
<v Speaker 1>And now back to tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure. It
<v Speaker 1>is just before the Battle of the Marne in the
<v Speaker 1>First World War and Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson are
<v Speaker 1>at headquarters a few miles behind the front line trenches.
<v Speaker 1>A famous Shakespearean actor who was to get the performance
<v Speaker 1>for the troops has mysteriously disappeared, and the great detective
<v Speaker 1>has taken his place. At the last minute, we rejoin
<v Speaker 1>our story. Sherlock Holmes, alone on the improvised stage, is
<v Speaker 1>delivering a Shakespearean speech before a spellbound life.
<v Speaker 4>Happy, This little world, this precious stone, set in a
<v Speaker 4>silver sea, which serves it in the office of a wall,
<v Speaker 4>or as the most defensive to a house against the
<v Speaker 4>envy of less happier lamps.
<v Speaker 1>This blessed plot, this earth, this rome, this England, homes
<v Speaker 1>that shot.
<v Speaker 4>Are you all right, yes, old chap Fortunately I started
<v Speaker 4>to believe the stage as the shot was fired.
<v Speaker 1>The bullet just missed me. It's splinter some wood nearby.
<v Speaker 2>But who on earth would want to shoot you?
<v Speaker 4>That's what we've got to find out. I think it
<v Speaker 4>more likely that the shot was intended for me. It
<v Speaker 4>was not intended for me, but for Maitland Morris, the
<v Speaker 4>man for whom I'm substitute.
<v Speaker 2>Even so, who'd want to shoot him?
<v Speaker 4>Don't ask me any questions, author, Let's see what clues
<v Speaker 4>we can find now. The shot was fired from outside
<v Speaker 4>the tent, from behind me. Yes, look there you a
<v Speaker 4>hole in the tent.
<v Speaker 3>There by show vius footlights without climb your.
<v Speaker 2>Shadow on the back of the tent. Whoever it must
<v Speaker 2>have as a found at your silhouette.
<v Speaker 1>The question is where did the bullet in bed itself? Huh?
<v Speaker 4>Look here, Watson, we've got a pen knife. Yeah, they
<v Speaker 4>shouldn't be hard to expect. Look at this splintered tent pole.
<v Speaker 4>A minute, Okay, here we are excellent. Huh, very interesting?
<v Speaker 3>Well, what's so interesting about him?
<v Speaker 4>Just to revolve a bullett, Watson? But that's far from
<v Speaker 4>just a revolve a bullet. This bullet was fired from
<v Speaker 4>a German Luca pistol.
<v Speaker 3>A German pistol must have been a pie here behind
<v Speaker 3>our lines.
<v Speaker 4>That's a reasonable enough, his sumpson, as we may be
<v Speaker 4>sure that no English soldier would carry such a weapon
<v Speaker 4>and face inspection. Come on, I want to talk to
<v Speaker 4>missus Morris, Missus Morris, I want you to be very
<v Speaker 4>frank with me, so to cause, mister Holmes, you know
<v Speaker 4>why your husband's missing, don't you?
<v Speaker 1>No, No, I don't have you found out about why
<v Speaker 1>I keep up this pretense any longer.
<v Speaker 4>I know that your husband is a spy or a fist,
<v Speaker 4>a great sympathizer with the German cause, the General's brother
<v Speaker 4>spy good law.
<v Speaker 1>How can you say that?
<v Speaker 4>Because it's true by an artist has been suspicious of
<v Speaker 4>his sympathis for some time. His own brother knew it,
<v Speaker 4>as why I asked to have me sent up here
<v Speaker 4>to keep an eye on him during his visit.
<v Speaker 1>It is true?
<v Speaker 5>Why should I keep up the pretense any longer?
<v Speaker 3>You see?
<v Speaker 5>Maitland was a disciple of Stuart Houston Chamberlain, who was
<v Speaker 5>his student.
<v Speaker 4>Houston Chamberlain an Englishman who married one of Richard Wagner's
<v Speaker 4>daughters and became a German citizen and an arch enemy
<v Speaker 4>of England.
<v Speaker 5>I'll try to dissuade Maitland. I implored him to consider
<v Speaker 5>his British heritage, his brother's name and mind.
<v Speaker 1>But Nathan was a strange man.
<v Speaker 5>His life was one of frustration, in envy, enry of
<v Speaker 5>his brothers. Bose Yes, when Stanley was knighted, it it
<v Speaker 5>hurt Maitland terribly. He said. It was typical if the
<v Speaker 5>English wore kni a soldier and yet leave a great
<v Speaker 5>artist like himself unrecognized in Berlin. They rarely understood and
<v Speaker 5>rewarded the artist.
<v Speaker 2>Well if the thoughts knew, that's amazingly allowed him to
<v Speaker 2>cons al close to the front.
<v Speaker 5>Lines at a time like this, which was at the
<v Speaker 5>general's request. He wanted to plead with my husband to
<v Speaker 5>warn him that his secret was nttan. And now Maitland
<v Speaker 5>gone over to the German line.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's worse than that.
<v Speaker 3>It's disastrous.
<v Speaker 2>He can give them information.
<v Speaker 3>This is strength of our troops here. He knows the password,
<v Speaker 3>he might.
<v Speaker 1>Even know the y.
<v Speaker 3>The attack is time to start.
<v Speaker 4>How did your husband expect to men of the German
<v Speaker 4>lines in safety?
<v Speaker 1>Missus Morris.
<v Speaker 5>He speaks fluent German matter, Holmes, I fancied the autographs
<v Speaker 5>will keep us carrying, containing his signature A field marshal
<v Speaker 5>Son Talkknitz with. In reality, he's passed through the German line.
<v Speaker 1>You told the generals that his father was done. Of
<v Speaker 1>course I haven't been able to.
<v Speaker 5>He moved up to the front line position immediately to
<v Speaker 5>the first performance, though I had warned him what I
<v Speaker 5>thought Maidan was planning to do. I think he intended
<v Speaker 5>the idiot's performance first, then crossed the lines immediately afterwards.
<v Speaker 5>But something must have made him change his mind. Perhaps
<v Speaker 5>he suspected I'd warned the general. Anyhow, as you know,
<v Speaker 5>when I got back to our quarters he'd gone, did
<v Speaker 5>he note, Madam, Yes he did.
<v Speaker 1>Here it is thank you I have done.
<v Speaker 4>My dear, try and understand, and if you can, it
<v Speaker 4>wouldn't come with me. And so I'm taking what is
<v Speaker 4>left of my heart and my hopes where they belong
<v Speaker 4>among the friends that understand and appreciate me. It is
<v Speaker 4>something stronger than love and blood and country that makes.
<v Speaker 3>Me do this.
<v Speaker 1>It is something dearer to me than life. It's so
<v Speaker 1>dear to me than light itself. Could oh Cordy the
<v Speaker 1>shame of this will kill for Stanley.
<v Speaker 3>Litter home.
<v Speaker 1>Will you break the news to him?
<v Speaker 3>I know it's cowardly of me, but I just can't
<v Speaker 3>tell him myself.
<v Speaker 4>I'll tell him, Dr Watson, I will ask Captain Maxwell
<v Speaker 4>to escott us to the General's front line headquarters in
<v Speaker 4>the meantime, trying to calm We'll.
<v Speaker 1>Tell him.
<v Speaker 4>If you were waiting in the dug art, Mister Helms,
<v Speaker 4>I will tell the General, but chere here, thank.
<v Speaker 1>You, and be sure to let him know the urgency
<v Speaker 1>of the matter.
<v Speaker 3>This is a dreadful business.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is Watson.
<v Speaker 4>If my plans work out correctly, I think the success
<v Speaker 4>of tomorrow's battle may not being kidled.
<v Speaker 3>Listen, you know, Holmes.
<v Speaker 2>A strange silence from the German line since we came
<v Speaker 2>here might be accounted for by the fact that they
<v Speaker 2>knew Maitland was making his getaway. They wouldn't want to
<v Speaker 2>risk woundings such a valuables far quite possibly. What I
<v Speaker 2>still don't understand is we shot at you with a
<v Speaker 2>German pistol, and why having.
<v Speaker 1>Very dense help. Surely it's odd music they come General
<v Speaker 1>Morris now this is going.
<v Speaker 3>To be a dreadful shock to him.
<v Speaker 2>Hello, Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>Dr Watson, Denyl Morris, I'm afraid that I bad news
<v Speaker 4>for you. Your brother has gone over to the German limes.
<v Speaker 3>Maitland did go there.
<v Speaker 4>I should have put him under an arm god as
<v Speaker 4>soon as he came here, but I thought I could
<v Speaker 4>reason with him, appeal to his sense of honor, instead
<v Speaker 4>of which you tried to shoot him there. But fortunately
<v Speaker 4>for me you missed. You see, I took his place
<v Speaker 4>at the first performance.
<v Speaker 3>That shot was fired from a German patrol.
<v Speaker 1>That was when I first knew the General at fired shot.
<v Speaker 3>But I still don't see how you could.
<v Speaker 4>Now only a high ranking officer not subject to inspect
<v Speaker 4>and could carry a non regulation firearm.
<v Speaker 1>You no darmy man.
<v Speaker 4>You know that in any case, you'll observe that the
<v Speaker 4>General carries a lugud. It is way straight Heaven's homes are.
<v Speaker 4>I thought I was firing at Maitland.
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea that that it was you.
<v Speaker 4>You intended to kill your own brothers, yes, and I'm
<v Speaker 4>sorry I failed her. Rather see my brother dead alive
<v Speaker 4>on a traitor to his country. But now he's safely
<v Speaker 4>in the German lines. Heaven knows what secrets he may
<v Speaker 4>be imparting one thing, we can be certain a chance
<v Speaker 4>of a surprise attack in the morning is gone.
<v Speaker 1>That's been answer.
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean do you took the liberty of
<v Speaker 4>alter brother's credentials quite extensively p I knew of his
<v Speaker 4>German sympathetis Micat had given me a great deal of
<v Speaker 4>information about him, and so I took it on myself
<v Speaker 4>to decide that it was unsafe to allow him so
<v Speaker 4>near the enemy lines with his own identification on him.
<v Speaker 1>Well, what did to do?
<v Speaker 4>I took the liberty s earl of stealing his autograph book,
<v Speaker 4>the one containing the magical signature of Field Marshal on Toknitz.
<v Speaker 4>I have it in my pocket now I think we
<v Speaker 4>shall find with his pages of code concealed in the
<v Speaker 4>various autographs giving valuable information to the enemy good law.
<v Speaker 1>I also switched to military permits on him.
<v Speaker 4>I felt that in the event that he did go
<v Speaker 4>over to the German lines, his work might be less
<v Speaker 4>cordial if they were under compression, that they had captured
<v Speaker 4>shlock homes to make that identification.
<v Speaker 1>W sure.
<v Speaker 4>I also slipped in his pocket a slight.
<v Speaker 1>Soupernir of my own word Jerhomes.
<v Speaker 2>You mean that medal was presented to by the University
<v Speaker 2>of Life.
<v Speaker 1>Six that actual fome I no longer wish to own
<v Speaker 1>a decoration.
<v Speaker 4>Given me by country of barbarians, and it seemed to
<v Speaker 4>have a neat and effective way of returning it to them.
<v Speaker 1>So the Germans will think they captured Charlotron. Yes, sir,
<v Speaker 1>and as I much mistaken, he'll receive very short script
<v Speaker 1>at the hand.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I hate you.
<v Speaker 1>As your answer, sir.
<v Speaker 4>Sorry, don't be sorry, Holmes, It's better that way now
<v Speaker 4>his secret can die with him.
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, sirm, Yes, net Fel. What is it would
<v Speaker 1>it be in order for me to return to headquarters?
<v Speaker 4>Tauser, It's very dearly time for the second performance, and
<v Speaker 4>i'd still been now able to trace the word batacle.
<v Speaker 1>Brother.
<v Speaker 4>My brother will not be acting tonight, I'm afraid, Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>How one time might ask you to take his place
<v Speaker 4>once again?
<v Speaker 1>If you want me to general, I do.
<v Speaker 4>Maitland had planned to do the Sat Crispin speech from
<v Speaker 4>Henry fit he knew how much I loved I realize that, sir, But.
<v Speaker 1>I was told the password up here.
<v Speaker 3>Can you remember the speech?
<v Speaker 2>Home?
<v Speaker 1>Oh? I think so?
<v Speaker 4>At any rate I can fry, then do it for me,
<v Speaker 4>my dear fellow, Will you for me, I'll be very
<v Speaker 4>planned to do it. General, goodbye and good luck, Thank you, Holmes,
<v Speaker 4>Faptain Natwell take them back to headquarters. Will you will
<v Speaker 4>be waiting for the performance.
<v Speaker 1>Christians will now go by from this day to the
<v Speaker 1>ending of the world. But we in it were remembered.
<v Speaker 4>We few, we happy, few, we band of brothers. Or
<v Speaker 4>he today that chants his blood with me shall be
<v Speaker 4>my brother be in ass or file this day, so
<v Speaker 4>gentle his condition, and gentlemen in England now a bed
<v Speaker 4>shall think themselves a curse.
<v Speaker 1>They were not here, and all their manhood's cheap. While
<v Speaker 1>then he speaks that fuck with us upon Saint Christian's Day. Well, Michael,
<v Speaker 1>that was a bit of an exciting adventure here.
<v Speaker 5>You know.
<v Speaker 2>I can still remember that awful feeling I had when
<v Speaker 2>I heard the.
<v Speaker 3>Shot in the tent whom if someone.
<v Speaker 1>Had tried to kill home he did have a narrow escape.
<v Speaker 2>Holmes always said, no such thing as a narrow escape.
<v Speaker 2>He said, you are escaped or you didn't. If you
<v Speaker 2>a worry, and if you didn't, you couldn't worry.
<v Speaker 1>So quite a philosophy. I'd like to discuss it with
<v Speaker 1>you further over a bottle of wine.
<v Speaker 3>How else, what kind of wine?
<v Speaker 1>Uh? Naturally, Uh, naturally, you couldn't ask for a more
<v Speaker 1>delicious wine than Petree. That's because the Petrie family knows
<v Speaker 1>how to make good wine. They are do. They've been
<v Speaker 1>making fine wine ever since they started the Petree business
<v Speaker 1>way back in the eighteen hundreds. And because the business
<v Speaker 1>has always been family owned and operated well, they've been
<v Speaker 1>able to hand on from father to son, from father
<v Speaker 1>to son all they've ever learned about the art of
<v Speaker 1>turning luscious grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. That's why, no
<v Speaker 1>matter what time Petre wine you buy for any occasion,
<v Speaker 1>you can be sure it's good wine, because Petree took
<v Speaker 1>time to bring you good wine. And now, doctor Watson,
<v Speaker 1>I was about giving us a clue the next week's
<v Speaker 1>shirlock Home.
<v Speaker 2>Next week, miss Clatter, I'm going to tell you and
<v Speaker 2>I must unusually venture much Holmes and I are trapped

<v Speaker 2>scientist sounds like a story we don't want to miss.
