<v Speaker 1>From New York, the makers of clipper Craft Clothes for
<v Speaker 1>men and Live one hundred and twenty four leading retail
<v Speaker 1>stores from coast to coast present the word's most famous detective,
<v Speaker 1>Sherlock Holmes. Her stories are based upon the character of
<v Speaker 1>Sherlock Holmes, created vi Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes
<v Speaker 1>is portrayed by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley,
<v Speaker 1>and the dramatizations are by Edith Meiser. Well, here we
<v Speaker 1>are again in front of Doctor Watson's cheery fireplace. A
<v Speaker 1>bitter December wind makes us glad to be inside, toasting
<v Speaker 1>out toes and listening to a Sherlock Holmes adventure.
<v Speaker 2>What's it me tonight? Dr Watson? Will if you see tonight,
<v Speaker 2>I think I'll tell.
<v Speaker 3>You how Holme's arch enemy, the diabolical Professor Moriarty, came
<v Speaker 3>close to disrupting the Queen's Diamond Judy festivities.
<v Speaker 4>You mean the celebration that marked the sixtieth year of
<v Speaker 4>the Red Queen Victoria.
<v Speaker 3>Right on that occasion, London was a mecca for adventurers
<v Speaker 3>and thieves, drawn by the many visiting potentates and the
<v Speaker 3>notables all wearing their most fabulous jewels and ligant trackings.
<v Speaker 3>And oh, by the way, speaking of glad rags, as
<v Speaker 3>Hugh Yankees call it, aren't you rather dressing yourself tonight?
<v Speaker 2>Mister Harris? I wondered how long before you had noticed
<v Speaker 2>my new suit? Talck to us, not stand up, Let's
<v Speaker 2>have a look. Yes, not bad at all? Is it
<v Speaker 2>do mean? Is it a Clippercraft suit? You bet it
<v Speaker 2>is done? Now I know why my frenzy.
<v Speaker 3>Clippercraft means what the well dressed man will wear if
<v Speaker 3>he wants to get his money worth. Yes, I wonder
<v Speaker 3>if I spoke to Santa Claus, I've tried something like that.
<v Speaker 2>That's stalking here.
<v Speaker 1>All I can say is there's nothing the average mail
<v Speaker 1>would rather find under the Christmas tree than a clipper
<v Speaker 1>Craft suit.
<v Speaker 3>But the vissit to me is how doly many to
<v Speaker 3>turn out that handsome rig at the price.
<v Speaker 4>Well, Doctor Watson, that mystery doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes
<v Speaker 4>to solve. Here's how clipper Craft makes it easy for
<v Speaker 4>a man to look his best on Christmas morning, and
<v Speaker 4>hundreds of mornings they're actor. It's through the clipper Craft plan,
<v Speaker 4>which concentrates the bank power of nine hundred and twenty
<v Speaker 4>four leading stores across the nation, making tremendous savings and
<v Speaker 4>manufacturing and distribution costs. The plan brings you the finest
<v Speaker 4>clothes at prices far less than you expect to pay
<v Speaker 4>at your own local independence.
<v Speaker 2>Store, at the store you can trust.
<v Speaker 1>Beautifully tailored Clippercraft suits are only forty and forty five dollars.
<v Speaker 1>Top coats and overcoats are only forty dollars. Yes, indeed,
<v Speaker 1>the friends who drop in on Christmas Day will think
<v Speaker 1>your clothes costs twice as much. For clipper Craft values
<v Speaker 1>are so amazing, we urge you to compare them with
<v Speaker 1>clothes selling for many dollars more. And now, doctor Watson,
<v Speaker 1>supposing we get back to her Majesty's Diamond Julie and
<v Speaker 1>the gentleman who had tried to spoil the celebration.
<v Speaker 2>All London was on faint, mister Harris.
<v Speaker 3>The festivities were endless garden parties, concerts, parades.
<v Speaker 2>The intacity was no holiday mood offer. But my friend Sherlock.
<v Speaker 3>Holmes, he had drawn the blinds to shut out the
<v Speaker 3>brilliant spring sunshine and lay moping on the sofa, morostly
<v Speaker 3>pulling parfect tassels of his ancient dressing gown. For Hem's sake,
<v Speaker 3>homes back up and stop us strewing bits of silk
<v Speaker 3>all over the carpet. You look as if you were
<v Speaker 3>molting everyone else. He's overjoyed at the celebrations.
<v Speaker 2>Le'll be alone. I'm having my own private celebration.
<v Speaker 3>Uh what are you celebrating in this particularly lugubrious fashion?
<v Speaker 1>Watson, You realize it's just six years since Professor Moriarty
<v Speaker 1>and I pushed each other into the writing back falls.
<v Speaker 2>You never came back, Poor chaff In are going to
<v Speaker 2>tell me you're sorry? You finally rich society of that monster?
<v Speaker 4>No, I suppose not the think what an occasion of
<v Speaker 4>this sort would have meant to him.
<v Speaker 2>Theaters and ball rooms fairly.
<v Speaker 1>Dripping with jewels, intrigue and cabals on every street corner,
<v Speaker 1>but a veritable Eldorado for a master criminal like Professor Moriarty.
<v Speaker 2>And what's happened? Nothing? Absolutely nothing?
<v Speaker 3>Well, you like your Scotland Yards sacred it They've been
<v Speaker 3>working night and day to protect the holidaymakers.
<v Speaker 2>Scotland Yard.
<v Speaker 1>How would Scotland Yard have prevail against a master mind
<v Speaker 1>like Mariarty. Yes, the one antagonist I ever found who
<v Speaker 1>is my mental equal?
<v Speaker 3>Ahne, will you forget? If you hadn't finished here, he'd
<v Speaker 3>have finished you. You ought to thank you like his
<v Speaker 3>tars has gone, instead of moping about like a dang dubb.
<v Speaker 2>See what it is? What's the Men's a good film
<v Speaker 2>in activity? That's rare. That was wrong with you, Holmes?
<v Speaker 2>If you've engaged in any law, all the lock your pa. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>miss Hudson's there's a letter for you, Holmes.
<v Speaker 3>Missus Hudson says it was delivered bare hand, probably some
<v Speaker 3>people whose pet poodle is alope with someone else's spaniel.
<v Speaker 2>I'm uninterested.
<v Speaker 3>Purple letter paper, addressed in a large scrawling hand. There's
<v Speaker 3>a strange sort of crisscross the upper left hand corner
<v Speaker 3>of the envelope.
<v Speaker 2>But that's Watson, give me that envelope.
<v Speaker 4>Well all right, you need to snatch it out of
<v Speaker 4>my hand by all, But holy that's not a double crisscross.
<v Speaker 4>It's a letter, m Watson. It's Professor Moriarty's handwriting.
<v Speaker 3>Oh you're off your head, homes. This Moriarty business has
<v Speaker 3>become an obsession. Hed Fekes you'd better go out and
<v Speaker 3>fresh head and get some exercise.
<v Speaker 2>Or you'll be imagining that you see.
<v Speaker 4>He let a Watson listen to this to the world's
<v Speaker 4>greatest detective, mister Sherlock Holmes warning at least he doesn't
<v Speaker 4>under rate me a Watson.
<v Speaker 2>Oh, go to blazes you will, don't just be astounded
<v Speaker 2>to learn. I am alive. I managed to survive.
<v Speaker 1>Our little personal encounter in Switzerland, not without sustaining physical damage.
<v Speaker 2>Which kept me in the hospital for over a year.
<v Speaker 1>The remainder of the time which has intervened since we
<v Speaker 1>last met, has been spent in building myself a new organization.
<v Speaker 1>You destroyed my last one, If you remember, I shall
<v Speaker 1>not soon forgive you for that. You doubtless look on
<v Speaker 1>yourself as society's protector.
<v Speaker 2>You are wrong. I like that, dougg it roup Watson.
<v Speaker 4>The more I am forteed, the greater is my first
<v Speaker 4>revenge on society.
<v Speaker 2>I have held my hand long enough. From the day forward,
<v Speaker 2>look out for me.
<v Speaker 4>I shall begin this afternoon by staging a daring jewel robbery.
<v Speaker 2>In the strand.
<v Speaker 1>To night, a sudden lady at the command performance in
<v Speaker 1>Albert Hall will lose her famous morals tomorrow and the
<v Speaker 1>day after I shall perpetrate some utrage.
<v Speaker 2>He's ranting like a madman.
<v Speaker 1>And last, but not least, you and your curry doctor
<v Speaker 1>Watson will be put out of the way. I take
<v Speaker 1>pleasure in advising you of the fact that your hepatude
<v Speaker 1>and his friend doctor Watson will be the first to
<v Speaker 1>go signed moriarty, So I am to bid at first
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't fact me the old babbelheaded car.
<v Speaker 2>If I say her, sir, what.
<v Speaker 4>Is heabitudinous hipitude the smidier Watson means rather blunted mentally?
<v Speaker 2>Oh it does, does it? What's happening Albert Hall to night? Watson?
<v Speaker 3>I believe it's a constant bad and in a petty
<v Speaker 3>everyone will be there.
<v Speaker 2>You ain't thinking of at tending? I suppose, why not, Watson?
<v Speaker 2>Why not? You might tell missus Hudson to shake the
<v Speaker 2>camper out of our evening clothes. I wonder if I
<v Speaker 2>have a clean stiff shirt. Oh dash it. All these
<v Speaker 2>seems to be the difficulty, Watson.
<v Speaker 3>Oh everything shrank, my collar, my waist cut, even my
<v Speaker 3>evening pumps.
<v Speaker 2>Why has it when.
<v Speaker 3>Anything's laid away in muffball for a few months in inevitable.
<v Speaker 1>It comes out of sice smaller. It couldn't be because
<v Speaker 1>you've grown a size larger.
<v Speaker 2>I suppose. Oh shut up right there, you see.
<v Speaker 3>You see what happens when I lose my temper. But
<v Speaker 3>I just popped another button. I suggest you to send
<v Speaker 3>to the kitchen an alarm Missus Hudson to.
<v Speaker 2>Repair the damage. Oh now what it sounds like your
<v Speaker 2>confounded clients. Don't worry. I'll get rid of him in
<v Speaker 2>short order.
<v Speaker 1>I better take the backstairs down to the kitchen once,
<v Speaker 1>and you don't want to be caught in a disarray
<v Speaker 1>in case the client is.
<v Speaker 2>A lady who good lord as the bloom in the
<v Speaker 2>spring Traeler. Come in, mister Holmes, mister Sherlock Holmes. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>I am Hector Pumfret, the Pumfret, Pumfort and Smock.
<v Speaker 5>We're the best known duel as in London's the Holmes
<v Speaker 5>by appointment to his heirs, the Prince of Wales.
<v Speaker 2>No left, of.
<v Speaker 1>Course, of course, you have a shop in the strand
<v Speaker 1>and you've just been robbed, mister Holmes. How did you
<v Speaker 1>know it happened less than an hour ago? My dear
<v Speaker 1>mister Pumfret, I have rather special sources of information.
<v Speaker 2>It's incredible. I haven't informed anyone, not even the police.
<v Speaker 5>You see, some of the stolen jewels weren't my property.
<v Speaker 5>Lady Biddlesworth pearls, for instance, as she said, would be restrung. Then,
<v Speaker 5>of course the great Burmese Ruby I had that fund consignment.
<v Speaker 5>I practically sold it to that wealthy Missuster Custer Jones
<v Speaker 5>from Denver.
<v Speaker 2>We will ruin my business if they about to recover.
<v Speaker 2>Pity to stop.
<v Speaker 5>Ratious that such things should be allowed to happen in
<v Speaker 5>a civilized country, and in broad daylight.
<v Speaker 2>What's happened in broad daylight? A stroke? Where did you
<v Speaker 2>come from? And what sounded you mean? Bursting? You?
<v Speaker 4>Honest like this, mister Pomfret. I understand you've been burgled.
<v Speaker 4>I've come to see about it.
<v Speaker 2>I'm inspected a charade of Scotland yard. Well, I don't
<v Speaker 2>want you to go away. You may not.
<v Speaker 4>Want me, mister Pomfret, but your partner, mister Smart does.
<v Speaker 4>He's the one that sent for me. He tell me
<v Speaker 4>where you'd popped off to. So I came round to
<v Speaker 4>make sure you didn't get any bad advice.
<v Speaker 1>Thank you lestrade for the vote of confidence. And now
<v Speaker 1>I suppose you sit here quietly. Oh, mister Pumfret tells
<v Speaker 1>me just what occurred where mister Holmes. I was in
<v Speaker 1>the shop alone.
<v Speaker 5>It was getting late and I was about to lock
<v Speaker 5>up when a nice, respectable Youngish man walked in the door.
<v Speaker 5>He wore a Prince Albert, carry a silver headed malacca stick,
<v Speaker 5>a small.
<v Speaker 2>Black satchel, and had just the suggestion of a limp.
<v Speaker 2>Pardon me, or mister Pomfret. I believe why, yes, is
<v Speaker 2>there's something you can do for yourself. I wasn't the
<v Speaker 2>point of locking up.
<v Speaker 3>But if there's anything you want to know, nothing very
<v Speaker 3>important to play there. I've just broken the crystal of
<v Speaker 3>my water. I'm a doctor who, seeing my watches are
<v Speaker 3>as important bit of equipment.
<v Speaker 2>In my profession. Of course, I understand. Well, I'll see
<v Speaker 2>if we have a crystal to fit, if you don't
<v Speaker 2>mind waiting a moment. No, no, not at all.
<v Speaker 3>I had amused myself by looking at the handsome baubles
<v Speaker 3>in this showcase here.
<v Speaker 6>They're more than baubles, I assure you, mister Watson. Dr Watson,
<v Speaker 6>we'll let Ruby in the middle to where the King's
<v Speaker 6>ransom as they say. Yes, if we are this, crystals
<v Speaker 6>fit just as likely pressures.
<v Speaker 2>So and there we are. Here's your watch, doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 2>The charge of me too, Hill, and keep.
<v Speaker 3>The watches service purpose. I prefer the ruby and the
<v Speaker 3>other bables. You can beck, or you'll be cut by
<v Speaker 3>flying glass for doctor watching put on that case.
<v Speaker 2>Well stop it, I'd be wrong, Stop me.
<v Speaker 5>Stop, but quick as a flash, he starts. The content
<v Speaker 5>said the showcase ran out the door and was lost.
<v Speaker 4>In the crowds, showing no signs of a limp I
<v Speaker 4>taking mister Pomford, Why no, suppose the lip?
<v Speaker 2>Certainly wasn't it evident.
<v Speaker 5>That he ran out of the shop, leaving his watch behind. Yes,
<v Speaker 5>I've brought it with me. I've heard you can deduce
<v Speaker 5>a man's entire history from his watch. Well here it
<v Speaker 5>is interesting, very interesting. The thing that interested me about
<v Speaker 5>mister Pompford's story was that these name Watson, doctor Watson,
<v Speaker 5>my dearest chard.
<v Speaker 2>You don't suppose any jewel thief is going to be
<v Speaker 2>foolish enough to give his right name. I'm not so sure.
<v Speaker 2>What did he look like, mister Pomford. Oh, I don't know.
<v Speaker 5>Not bad looking bit above medium hype, the mustache slightly
<v Speaker 5>grea at the temple.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I think that the whole. If I
<v Speaker 2>don't take a deep breath, I'm sorry what As a
<v Speaker 2>matter of fact, the thief looked very much like Oh no,
<v Speaker 2>why joke? He was this gentleman who just came in.
<v Speaker 2>What thief you're talking about now?
<v Speaker 3>Oh we're leaving the Strada house a Scotlandyard's prize watch dogger?
<v Speaker 2>Oh there's my watch? Where health did you find?
<v Speaker 5>Where have you left a Dodtor Watson in my shop?
<v Speaker 5>When you matched my showcase and made off with the
<v Speaker 5>Burmese ruby. Not to mention Lady Middleswoo's pearls hers? What's
<v Speaker 5>the man raving about? As if you didn't know?
<v Speaker 4>So you turned bebe Dr Watson. This association with shirrac
<v Speaker 4>Elves is responsible, no doubt. I've always suspected you to
<v Speaker 4>work both sides of the speachy.
<v Speaker 2>Once it's all about him, has everyone gone mad? I
<v Speaker 2>think I can explain the confusion. Watson.
<v Speaker 4>You'll not talk your way out of it this time,
<v Speaker 4>mister shurak Elmes. We've got the goods on your friend,
<v Speaker 4>Doctor Watson. Mister pomfret Is made a positive identification. Hell,
<v Speaker 4>I'd been looking forward to using these nd cuts on
<v Speaker 4>new chaps.
<v Speaker 2>For Heaven's sake.
<v Speaker 4>Let Strat sit down and try not to be a
<v Speaker 4>bigger fool intended.
<v Speaker 2>It's also perfectly simple here. Read this letter I.
<v Speaker 1>Received this morning and see if you can comprehend what
<v Speaker 1>danger we're really in it you take more than a letter,
<v Speaker 1>Shut up and read it now, then, Watson, when did
<v Speaker 1>you first miss your watch?
<v Speaker 2>While? Let miss it?
<v Speaker 3>But it was this morning when I wanted to take
<v Speaker 3>missus Hilton's pulse. I was positivised to get into my
<v Speaker 3>pocket when I ad dressed this morning. But I suppose
<v Speaker 3>I left you behind on a bureau I sometimes.
<v Speaker 2>Do you know?
<v Speaker 1>No, Watson, you took it with you. Remember you told
<v Speaker 1>me the times you were about to leave? Yes, right,
<v Speaker 1>so I did. Then how did you get here?
<v Speaker 4>The watch was lifted from your pocket by one of
<v Speaker 4>the light fingers gently and Mariotti's employ Later this afternoon.
<v Speaker 2>It was used by another gentleman who.
<v Speaker 1>Impersonated you and robbed the jewelry shop of mister Pumfret, here,
<v Speaker 1>leaving the watch behind to incriminate you.
<v Speaker 3>Or the black of the filthy black arden in the
<v Speaker 3>entire afternoon.
<v Speaker 2>You why you can give me an.
<v Speaker 4>Alibi homes naturally easy to If you won't believe me
<v Speaker 4>less start, perhaps you'll take missus Hudson's word. She spent
<v Speaker 4>the afternoon letting out Dr Watson's dress shirt and fitting
<v Speaker 4>it to his person.
<v Speaker 2>This is incredible, fantastic. The feat was exactly like your friend,
<v Speaker 2>mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>Always thank you, thank you about Professor Moriarity and his outfit.
<v Speaker 2>I've never even seen the man.
<v Speaker 4>How do I know there is such a person, But
<v Speaker 4>just have to take my word for it the starred.
<v Speaker 2>Incidentally, we shall miss the best.
<v Speaker 1>Part of the concert at Albert Horror. Lets be hurry,
<v Speaker 1>oh good lord, and I have to rush home and dress.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting at missuster Comston Jones's box.
<v Speaker 2>You know who cares?
<v Speaker 4>I shall have to go to keep an eye on
<v Speaker 4>those blasted tierras. I suppose, ha, I mused.
<v Speaker 2>I know, but you wouldn't want to miss the Professor's
<v Speaker 2>next robbery.
<v Speaker 1>Come along Withstauran, Yes, Watson, I think we shall station
<v Speaker 1>ourselves here at the foot of the camspaircase.
<v Speaker 2>Whose amerules you think, Marie art is after I don't know.
<v Speaker 1>It could be the Maharani of Saiba, or the Bolivian
<v Speaker 1>millionaires senor.
<v Speaker 2>A boldaro ah.
<v Speaker 1>There comes Lestan. It looks agitated. What's up restaurant? Anyone
<v Speaker 1>purloined the Punjulase women.
<v Speaker 4>Already better in this but has lost an expensive brooch
<v Speaker 4>and to have met him to run Severe's.
<v Speaker 2>Diamond bracelets are missing.
<v Speaker 3>Sounds if Mariart's millions were warming up to the man
<v Speaker 3>and then rubbish.
<v Speaker 4>It's these fool females never make sure the catches are probably.
<v Speaker 2>Though, thank Joe Robes.
<v Speaker 3>Look look at that enormous redheaded woman coming in the
<v Speaker 3>carriage entrance.
<v Speaker 2>She looks like an animated Christmas tree us enough to
<v Speaker 2>blind you.
<v Speaker 4>That's Missus de Cumpson Jones, the American. She has board
<v Speaker 4>duels and most of the crown needs in Europe.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and most particularly she has an emerald necklace.
<v Speaker 4>That makes the maharayes on the signoras look like something
<v Speaker 4>at the vicar's tea party.
<v Speaker 3>I see, look who's beside her, the little pipsty is.
<v Speaker 2>It's a direct to comfort, so he didn't keep her waiting.
<v Speaker 4>After all, it must be a quick change out his day, Watson,
<v Speaker 4>he needed to be giving him what for.
<v Speaker 2>Here they came the stark. I suggest you'll received them.
<v Speaker 1>To her box while doctor Watson and I bring up
<v Speaker 1>the rear. Those emiral will certainly deserve a god of honor.
<v Speaker 2>He is an. I'm pretty mad at you, pop friend,
<v Speaker 2>my dear missus joke. You know dog gone well, I
<v Speaker 2>wanted that roomy.
<v Speaker 4>But I assure you, Missus Joseph was stolen, stolen and
<v Speaker 4>bought daylight.
<v Speaker 2>Don't make me laugh. Some other coming off to your
<v Speaker 2>better price. But you're not kidding me, Dear missus Jones.
<v Speaker 2>I'll assure you that jewel was stolen. Evening. Start a
<v Speaker 2>good evening if this is instead of the stars cuffing job, mister.
<v Speaker 4>Jones, here's gunly why pra lookay, mister pompfret, I wonder
<v Speaker 4>if you could persuade missus Jones to make sure all
<v Speaker 4>her duer catches out and work in order.
<v Speaker 3>Young man, I'm quite capable of taking care of him
<v Speaker 3>own affairs.
<v Speaker 2>Come on, Pumfret, Yes, Missus Jones.
<v Speaker 1>Hey, get off on the plane.

<v Speaker 4>Then the necklace was gone.
<v Speaker 2>Where did it go? Very far? I assure you no
<v Speaker 2>one has moved. Whoever took it's within arms reached. Oh.

<v Speaker 4>on the other, and Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson were
<v Speaker 4>directly in bested in back.
<v Speaker 2>That's wear our fella's hand on the back of my neck.

<v Speaker 1>for at twelve midnight, I shall blow the whole place
<v Speaker 1>to kingdom.
<v Speaker 2>Come until then, au Revoir signed Mariati.
<v Speaker 4>He's joke, and of course he must be jocous. Blow
<v Speaker 4>up the palace, good Lord, it's unthinkable to night.
<v Speaker 1>Be worse than that thestard It very well be the
<v Speaker 1>twilight of the gods of the British Empire.
<v Speaker 2>God joking O. I was never more serious in my
<v Speaker 2>entire life. Come in, Inspector Lestraza, it's come and Yard
<v Speaker 2>sent me. They thought you ought to know what Albert
<v Speaker 2>in string your junior here, sir.
<v Speaker 4>The sailors and merchants banks has been robbed, and the
<v Speaker 4>merchants guild all has been set of fires.
<v Speaker 2>You can't very well blame Watson for those calamities lastran
<v Speaker 2>maybe we should have locked you up too, said but
<v Speaker 2>there's something else. What's that? Albert and mister Pomfret, Sir,
<v Speaker 2>mister Rector Pomfret was found tied up this flat. His
<v Speaker 2>charlotte come to work this morning, Good Lord.
<v Speaker 4>The city says he's been tied up since he went
<v Speaker 4>on to dress for the concert.
<v Speaker 2>Last Night's body will let the concert. I saw him
<v Speaker 2>with the eel two eyes.
<v Speaker 4>No Lestrade used for someone who impersonated Hector Pumfret, the
<v Speaker 4>same man who earlier impersonated Dr Watson.
<v Speaker 1>I suspect I was pretty sure it wasn't Pumfort himself.
<v Speaker 1>When he arrived so promptly, he hadn't had time to
<v Speaker 1>change you though, then when I saw his ears.
<v Speaker 2>I was certain he hears? What's that dought to do
<v Speaker 2>with it?
<v Speaker 1>A good makeup can disguise any feature except ears. The
<v Speaker 1>ear the man who escorted Missus.
<v Speaker 4>De Cumsi Jones were not the ears I'd noticed on
<v Speaker 4>mister Pumfort earlier in the day.
<v Speaker 2>Who's ears were they? Suppose?
<v Speaker 1>I rather imagine they belonged to Professor Mariotti. I'm convinced
<v Speaker 1>he spent the last few years studying the art of disguise.
<v Speaker 2>But then we wouldn't know him if we ran into him.
<v Speaker 2>I would Mustard, I should.
<v Speaker 1>Be looking for his ears to night at the ball
<v Speaker 1>at Buckingham Palace. But that you think you could manage
<v Speaker 1>to release Watson in time to accompany me. I hate
<v Speaker 1>to carry my own father. It destroys the fit of
<v Speaker 1>one's evening clothes, don't you know?
<v Speaker 4>You've seen clothes whose very appearance breathes five quality, graceful tailoring,
<v Speaker 4>perfect fit, rich, long wearing materials. But unless you've worn
<v Speaker 4>clipper Craft clothes, you've never seen that kind of suit
<v Speaker 4>at only forty and forty five dollars, or that kind
<v Speaker 4>of top color overpoort at only forty dollars. The quality
<v Speaker 4>is evident in clipper Craft clothes is made possible by
<v Speaker 4>the sensational clipper Craft Plan. It concentrates the buying power
<v Speaker 4>of nine hundred and twenty four leading independent stores across
<v Speaker 4>the nation, bringing you the sudies that result from this

<v Speaker 2>with us. Woms that chicken it's sticky, guess Watson. It
<v Speaker 2>contains a very ingenious time bomb. When is it set
<v Speaker 2>to go off? Professor Monriyarty at twelve o'clock, which.
<v Speaker 4>Is an exactly thirty second.
<v Speaker 2>You you're not over quite. Hang on with lestrade. I'll
<v Speaker 2>take care of the box. You're ten thirty seconds. Who

<v Speaker 2>throw the bomb? What did he have to run with it?
<v Speaker 3>Because you can only throw it about fifty feet The
<v Speaker 3>explosion would be too close.

<v Speaker 4>wasn't Albert?
<v Speaker 2>By his ears? Albert's ears are what you might call outstanding.
<v Speaker 2>By jove, of course, why didn't I think of that?
<v Speaker 1>Well, Doctor Watson, that was certainly a case of never
<v Speaker 1>a dull moment with Carlock Holmes. So that was the
<v Speaker 1>end of Professor Moriyty.
<v Speaker 3>On the contrary, he managed to give us star to
<v Speaker 3>slip on the way to prison. Secretly, I believe Herbers
<v Speaker 3>was so glad to have this scander back. He was
