<v Speaker 4>long before I get all gillery sentimental.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can tell us about Professor Moriarty to night.
<v Speaker 4>Well, I had intended to, but I've changed my mind.
<v Speaker 4>I'm going to tell you the adventure of the retired Colorman.
<v Speaker 1>Instead retired Colorman. Isn't that a military chance?

<v Speaker 4>and then settled down.
<v Speaker 3>The next year eighteen ninety Sevemari watched.
<v Speaker 1>Your full married Mary, who is married.
<v Speaker 3>And the woman sloty years His juniors always be Risday
<v Speaker 3>look who in two years he was as.
<v Speaker 4>Miserable a preacher as caused beneath the Sun that Leanna
<v Speaker 4>company ahead the story again. As I was saying, this
<v Speaker 4>is the twenty third of April eighteen hundred and ninety nine,
<v Speaker 4>and a rainy and disagreeable April, it had been Holmes
<v Speaker 4>is a melancholine philosophic moved that morning as he stood
<v Speaker 4>by the window watching the rain drops chasing one another
<v Speaker 4>down down the pave.
<v Speaker 3>Rain and always depressed him. And he was not working
<v Speaker 3>on a case. When he was working on a case,
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe you realized that there was such a
<v Speaker 3>face as.
<v Speaker 1>Weather looker that beastly rain hasn't stopped for three days
<v Speaker 1>now as well be an enough flood. Well, heaven only
<v Speaker 1>knows what transgressions could have brought it on. There's been
<v Speaker 1>a really first class crime for months.
<v Speaker 3>Chir uple chair up.
<v Speaker 1>It's probably good for the crops or something, sliden crimes.
<v Speaker 4>The rain, of course, probably makes the little buds stout
<v Speaker 4>to the little flute.
<v Speaker 1>Huge are plasted, optimistic, more likely rotting all the seeds
<v Speaker 1>that's already been planted. Rain, Where the juice does it
<v Speaker 1>all come from? This can't founded English climate. Why any
<v Speaker 1>man with half a brain stays on this rain soak
<v Speaker 1>miss bound Island is beyond me of the men.
<v Speaker 3>Of anything to do it. It's this is dog bless them.
<v Speaker 4>This climate gives them perfect complexions and there's so many
<v Speaker 4>lovely creatures about what Englishmen would think of quitting the
<v Speaker 4>country so much, beauties, the Chakes school rubbish?
<v Speaker 1>What's rubbish? This spring has given you a temporary softening
<v Speaker 1>of the brain, and I regret to say it seems
<v Speaker 1>to have that effect on most impressionable male possible nonsense.
<v Speaker 3>When a woman's concerning money, of cases, you've never even
<v Speaker 3>noticed whether she's sixteen or sixty, and then you don't
<v Speaker 3>care whether she's got a well turned ankle or whether
<v Speaker 3>she's flat footed. Why should I homes? There are times
<v Speaker 3>when I think you're cold budded fish.
<v Speaker 5>Today, Watson.
<v Speaker 1>Possibly, Why do you suppose the pool doesn't show up?
<v Speaker 2>That fool?
<v Speaker 4>You?
<v Speaker 1>Sigh up the Amberley.
<v Speaker 2>Is he one of your clouds?
<v Speaker 1>I suppose I may call him so been sent to
<v Speaker 1>me by stat and Yah Scott to do right by
<v Speaker 1>this chart. To be exact, you must consider the case
<v Speaker 1>fairly hopeless. If let's trot hands the mat over to
<v Speaker 1>meaves on a cord.
<v Speaker 4>Then there's a care drawing after in front of our
<v Speaker 4>front Joy.
<v Speaker 3>You must see your cart dis tambler.
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, things looking individually, Watson, because.
<v Speaker 3>An old fellow looks literally bowed down.
<v Speaker 1>With care and no weaklings of those shoulders in that
<v Speaker 1>chest the framework of a giant adding.
<v Speaker 5>The cab driver about the fair watches the penny day, Sir.
<v Speaker 4>I don't like his face, so fierce and eager, and
<v Speaker 4>the way those snaky locks of grizzled hair stick out
<v Speaker 4>from under his hat.
<v Speaker 1>Wonder what he's worrying. Worrying, mister Ambley, willing to better
<v Speaker 1>has nothing to do with money. Imagine nothing else could
<v Speaker 1>upset him to any great extent.
<v Speaker 4>Nonsense Home, you always look on the base side of
<v Speaker 4>the human nature.
<v Speaker 5>Yere, he is now come in, come in.
<v Speaker 3>Which of you is Shelock Holme?
<v Speaker 1>I am, and this is my friend doctor.
<v Speaker 3>I'm a broken man. He's rubbed me the spine. He
<v Speaker 3>can everything I had in the world. I thought it
<v Speaker 3>was my friend, and he took everything, and I'd come
<v Speaker 3>under my nose in my own house rob me. He did, Yes,
<v Speaker 3>I felt sure it was a question of money, and
<v Speaker 3>he who set money. He's told my wife the life
<v Speaker 3>of my life.
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, love my eye. It's true she was steady expensive,
<v Speaker 6>but after.
<v Speaker 7>All she was my wife.
<v Speaker 5>And he's tole now, mister Amberley.
<v Speaker 3>And if you were to be a blonde wife like
<v Speaker 3>gold and my securities the money I saved up two
<v Speaker 3>years of hard work, gone all gone at first?
<v Speaker 5>Tell us about your wife.
<v Speaker 1>How long have you been married?
<v Speaker 3>Two years?
<v Speaker 2>Two years?
<v Speaker 6>And she's tired of me already two three years?
<v Speaker 1>My good men, Easy, more facts and pure incriminations if
<v Speaker 1>we're to get to the bottom of this case.
<v Speaker 6>Well, three years ago I retired bought a house.
<v Speaker 7>Think hou said, bluisham cost you plenty of money at
<v Speaker 7>that house, did well, sir.
<v Speaker 6>I've never lived alone in the big house before. God
<v Speaker 6>sort of lonely house began to leave looking.
<v Speaker 7>After so I thought I'd start looking around for a wife,
<v Speaker 7>nice healthy, young wife to look after me.
<v Speaker 3>Then amede Ella and some girl she was too, a
<v Speaker 3>good cook.
<v Speaker 7>Hair like gold could make a bee for the kidney
<v Speaker 7>tie that went notes of your mouth, though I.
<v Speaker 6>Thought I might just forget Madded'm very practical. I'm sure
<v Speaker 6>that's what I think.
<v Speaker 2>It is.
<v Speaker 7>A tank, But Lord, missus, the money a woman runs
<v Speaker 7>into it there made my heart bleed the way the
<v Speaker 7>money went.
<v Speaker 5>Must have thought you'd be glad when the other pullet
<v Speaker 5>to go off your hands. But who was this?
<v Speaker 7>Is a painting sheep's clothing her and his name was
<v Speaker 7>doctor Ray. Ernest a young fellow.

<v Speaker 6>with me.
<v Speaker 1>See he's told you why, and my securities here for Tilly.
<v Speaker 1>The securities are registered. You know, I'd be hope to
<v Speaker 1>convert them.
<v Speaker 6>Maybe not, but I must have them back.
<v Speaker 3>And you've got to find those securities for me, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 3>You've got to find them.
<v Speaker 1>And your wife has call and of course, of course
<v Speaker 1>wherever she is, say quite On the other hand, of Amberly,
<v Speaker 1>I consist, I don't see that I can.
<v Speaker 3>Get much service.
<v Speaker 1>It's a routine matter, and I'm sure that Scotland Guard
<v Speaker 1>would be only too not.
<v Speaker 6>A single security.
<v Speaker 5>Well, very well, very well, very well, we'll do our best.
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Wats will take a run down to your house
<v Speaker 1>at Fllluis to look over the ground.
<v Speaker 7>Yes, I'm expected to come yourself after my heavy financial loss.
<v Speaker 7>Nobody cares if an old mentor is broken to stop
<v Speaker 7>that brain. I'm not coming myself because I'm preoccupied with
<v Speaker 7>the case of the.
<v Speaker 5>Two Coptic patriarchs. This particular hit certn't seem to be
<v Speaker 5>very complicated. I'm sure that's the Ambulet. The doctor Watson
<v Speaker 5>can handle it as well as I could myself.
<v Speaker 3>Well that's the best that you can offer.
<v Speaker 7>Answer, it's best.
<v Speaker 2>That's what she was.
<v Speaker 3>And that young man that he picked popped, I think
<v Speaker 3>he did like my own son. Let the run of
<v Speaker 3>the house. And now look how they've treated me me.
<v Speaker 6>You'll never have the.
<v Speaker 3>Right to light.
<v Speaker 1>And now I'm good day's ramble.
<v Speaker 6>Oh yes, well, well, good day, mister Holmes.

<v Speaker 4>shall go all this off onto mycoders, coptic patriarchs.
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, you just don't want to go.
<v Speaker 1>Like Watson right the very first time you've been digging
<v Speaker 1>for the case all to yourself a month.
<v Speaker 5>Well, here it is.
<v Speaker 3>This isn't a nice case. You've given me a muscle
<v Speaker 3>that old skins.
<v Speaker 1>Oh my daughter, oh my duckets say, with the emphasis
<v Speaker 1>on the duckets, I'm not mistaken. Oh oh, can't found
<v Speaker 1>that passage? Yeah ah, that's better that dash good. Hello
<v Speaker 1>steps on the stairs, Watson, if I'm not mistaken, and
<v Speaker 1>in a triumphant mood, hello home, Well I'm back, hell
<v Speaker 1>a conquering hero afternoon, I take it to the right
<v Speaker 1>of victory.
<v Speaker 4>You're right, well I.
<v Speaker 3>Did manage to dig up kill.
<v Speaker 1>How about mister Amberley, state of residence? What's it like?
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's called it to Haven.
<v Speaker 1>O charming, isn't it?
<v Speaker 3>I think the place of interest you are homes? You
<v Speaker 3>know that particular quarter of Monoughness.
<v Speaker 4>Brick Street, the worries, suburban highways. Well, right till the
<v Speaker 4>middle the lies this beautiful old home, surrounded by a
<v Speaker 4>high sun baked wall, bottled with lichens.
<v Speaker 1>And topped with moss, the sort of wall you may
<v Speaker 1>emit the purty once and I noted that it was
<v Speaker 1>a high brick wall.
<v Speaker 3>Mmm, what I should have guessed it was Behaven, even
<v Speaker 3>if I hadn't lost Alamo. Who's smoking our certain street?
<v Speaker 1>Elanjah, there's a cold dark the first man with a
<v Speaker 1>curious look in his eye, with great kindic glances, and
<v Speaker 1>the toomic typing quit Heaven. How do you know how
<v Speaker 1>to fool a child of tender seen to wrapped on
<v Speaker 1>the same I don't see, never mind continuing the story.
<v Speaker 4>I'd hardly entered the gateway before I saw Miss Tambley
<v Speaker 4>coming down the drive to beat this, he began at once, pouring.
<v Speaker 3>Out his grievances.
<v Speaker 1>He walked back to the house together and.
<v Speaker 3>Were once inside the wall. I must have I've never
<v Speaker 3>seen a place worth kept.
<v Speaker 4>Garden un to weeds in an a breathful neglect. The house, too,
<v Speaker 4>was slapping little to the last degree. He just goes
<v Speaker 4>to show what happened to her place, and there's.
<v Speaker 3>No woman in her hand about it to keep it
<v Speaker 3>in order.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, but misus Amberley has only been looking a few days.
<v Speaker 2>I did.
<v Speaker 5>Time for so much disintegration to take place must have
<v Speaker 5>set in before she'll left.
<v Speaker 3>Possibly at any rate, Miss Dambery seemed to be ashamed
<v Speaker 3>of him. He's doing his best to remedy it, though
<v Speaker 3>I must admitted his efforts looked a trifle and effectual.
<v Speaker 7>What's to become of me?
<v Speaker 3>What's to become of me?
<v Speaker 6>My wife gone, most of my fortunes stolen? They all
<v Speaker 6>come in, doctor Watson, coming here. You see what remains
<v Speaker 6>of what? Do you think it called?
<v Speaker 2>My home?
<v Speaker 6>And then it's hold castle, so they say, But hope
<v Speaker 6>this is where the heart is in my heart? And
<v Speaker 6>look out after watching look out that would wait, Oh, look.
<v Speaker 3>At that look good? That I'm just paracos. Too bad.
<v Speaker 7>Here you almost getting that part of paper all the limit. Sorry,
<v Speaker 7>I should have left that part of pay in the package.
<v Speaker 7>I suppose that when one's alone in the house, run
<v Speaker 7>figure alone.
<v Speaker 3>Who you've been doing this?
<v Speaker 6>For doing yourself?
<v Speaker 7>I must try to extrange the occupation under the circumstances.
<v Speaker 7>No one must do something to HEAs eighteen half and
<v Speaker 7>step in here, Docter Watson. This is my study and
<v Speaker 7>I thank them, thanks, thank.
<v Speaker 3>Do you guess this painting would work in this room?
<v Speaker 7>Too?
<v Speaker 3>H there's no painting.
<v Speaker 6>It's not right. That's why I have a sire in here.
<v Speaker 3>No, let me see where did you keep your security
<v Speaker 3>in the.
<v Speaker 2>Safe in that wall?
<v Speaker 7>This brings really a strong room, I think for a
<v Speaker 7>man shut around the window and an arm door fang
<v Speaker 7>a proof.
<v Speaker 3>That's the irony of it.
<v Speaker 6>No seating about could have taken my money.
<v Speaker 3>But my wife, my own wife.
<v Speaker 7>That's a picture doctor working on the mantels taking in
<v Speaker 7>her wedding dressin room.

<v Speaker 3>The safe was friend. What night was that?
<v Speaker 6>That was thirsty?
<v Speaker 1>Oh?
<v Speaker 7>Yes, unused money wasted? He was always wasted money. I

<v Speaker 3>goes closer? May I told burning torment that pictures burning?
<v Speaker 1>Now one person Followay Watson, This case begins to look
<v Speaker 1>more stumble than I suspected it. If you could only
<v Speaker 1>have brought me that ticket, Watson, I did my.
<v Speaker 3>Best, Humbler.
<v Speaker 4>I may not have the ticket itself, but I did
<v Speaker 4>notice the number of the sea from Bravo.
<v Speaker 1>Watson.
<v Speaker 4>You happen to remember, as a matter of fact, because
<v Speaker 4>my place and form at school thirty one from the bottom.
<v Speaker 3>And so it's stuck in my head.
<v Speaker 1>Splendid old though then the amberless seat must have been
<v Speaker 1>thirty or thirty two.

<v Speaker 1>You will start at once acause I wants to look
<v Speaker 1>up the train.
<v Speaker 3>And it's probably a hope.
<v Speaker 7>What could anyone in.
<v Speaker 6>Need with pudding?
<v Speaker 3>But I'm a very responsible person.
<v Speaker 1>Where's my craft?
<v Speaker 5>Yes, here it is.
<v Speaker 1>You'll look up for this minister of the gospel, e
<v Speaker 1>E E E Ellman Elman.
<v Speaker 5>Here it is, Yes, J. C.
<v Speaker 1>Elman, m A living of moss Moore.
<v Speaker 5>Little Purlington.
<v Speaker 6>Yes, but I still don't surely.
<v Speaker 1>Mister Ambley, you want to find your wife and your
<v Speaker 1>lost security.
<v Speaker 3>But once, of course, is a waste of time.
<v Speaker 7>Then money here we are here, here, we are.
<v Speaker 2>Here's a train from Liverpool Streets five twenty.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, just have time, mister Emily.
<v Speaker 5>You go downstairs and hill a camp.
<v Speaker 1>I'll help doctor Watson throw a few things in the bag.
<v Speaker 3>Do you think I need doctor Watson?
<v Speaker 6>But I better go alone.
<v Speaker 1>It may be a trap draw, we know, Dick. I
<v Speaker 1>shall go, mister Ambley.
<v Speaker 5>It would make the most possible impression.
<v Speaker 1>On book pleas and on myself if you refuse to
<v Speaker 1>us so obvious a cue. We should feel that you
<v Speaker 1>are not in earnest about this investigation.
<v Speaker 3>Very well, I'll go, Perhaps you'd be You've better go
<v Speaker 3>him home?
<v Speaker 1>What take your case, Watson, after the brilliant ways in
<v Speaker 1>which you handle it. No, no, no, no, no, go
<v Speaker 1>on with Rambley.
<v Speaker 5>You'll miss your train very well.
<v Speaker 1>But ye here you Watson, Yeah, yeah, here's your beg.
<v Speaker 3>It's packed.
<v Speaker 5>As you never know when you may be called off
<v Speaker 5>in a case like this, I packed it for you.
<v Speaker 1>I do think that quite now, whatever you do, see
<v Speaker 1>that he really does go to little Pullington. I again
<v Speaker 1>quite should you take away and try to return. Get
<v Speaker 1>to the nearest telegraph station and send me the single
<v Speaker 1>word bolted. I will arrange to have it reach me
<v Speaker 1>wherever I am.
<v Speaker 3>But you have something to look into it to sends there.
<v Speaker 1>I have, Watson. This case is beginning to take on
<v Speaker 1>a rather curious, sinister aspect. Above all, old man, take
<v Speaker 1>care of yourself and mister Amberley before we find the
<v Speaker 1>outcome of Watson's curious mission. Ladies and gentlemen, I have
<v Speaker 1>a few words to say. Here's what you want to
<v Speaker 1>do when you feel a cold coming on. Here's what
<v Speaker 1>you want to do with the very first sign of
<v Speaker 1>a cold. Take famous Blumo quinine cold tablet. Romo Quinine tablets.
<v Speaker 2>Don't fool, no sir. They get right after a cold symptom.
<v Speaker 2>They get right after a cold misery. They relieve a
<v Speaker 2>headache and other pains that go with a cold.
<v Speaker 1>They relieve that stuffiness and seeing of depression that it
<v Speaker 1>comes with a cold, they help reduce the fever that
<v Speaker 1>goes with a cold. Promo Quinine tablets are fast and
<v Speaker 1>decisive in their actions, first because they're made especially for
<v Speaker 1>the relief of the common cold, and secondly because they
<v Speaker 1>act internally.
<v Speaker 2>You can take lots of things for the.
<v Speaker 1>Relief of a cold, but nothing more reputable and reliable
<v Speaker 1>than famous bro Quinine tablet. At any drop store, at
<v Speaker 1>the first symptom of a toll, ask for Bromo b
<v Speaker 1>r O m O quinine q.
<v Speaker 2>U I n I any romo quinine cold tablet.
<v Speaker 1>Ooh, I confound this rain. Everything's just dark as a
<v Speaker 1>black hole.
<v Speaker 5>Accou cut the haven, sure, the little haven this is.
<v Speaker 5>I can find a window on latch, that's chance on.
<v Speaker 1>The first floor. The old boys to quarters o seven
<v Speaker 1>story window perhaps, and they managed to scale this portrait pillar,
<v Speaker 1>this confounded rain just to play the grease pole.
<v Speaker 7>Come on.
<v Speaker 5>There we are.
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's the window that been latched. Easy one foot
<v Speaker 1>over the sill up with your end up with him,
<v Speaker 1>thought I wouldn't see.
<v Speaker 3>You prowling around down below. Well I've caught you ready
<v Speaker 3>ended Nicemil goost chase.
<v Speaker 6>That turned out to be that pent the like hands
<v Speaker 6>is the fool.
<v Speaker 3>And sham Famin. If you'll call and see him, you
<v Speaker 3>can explains.
<v Speaker 7>Please play nothing that pickure. I've never seen that telegame
<v Speaker 7>before that when you treated us, you might have talking.
<v Speaker 3>With suspicious kedricers.
<v Speaker 7>Then missing the last train and having to sit up
<v Speaker 7>all night the confounded station with the rain dripping through
<v Speaker 7>the roof.
<v Speaker 3>He could have gone to the towel.
