Sherlock Holmes - Camberwell Poison

<v Speaker 1>Petrie Wine brings you.
<v Speaker 2>Basil raft Bone and Nigel Bruce and the new Adventures
<v Speaker 2>of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took
<v Speaker 2>time to bring you good wine. Invite you to listen
<v Speaker 2>to doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared
<v Speaker 2>with his good friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to tell you about my favorite time of day.
<v Speaker 2>It's just before dinner, you know, when the family's all
<v Speaker 2>sitting around in the living room and wonderful things are
<v Speaker 2>cooking in the kitchen.
<v Speaker 1>Ah, that's for me, and that's the time for a
<v Speaker 1>glass of sherry.
<v Speaker 2>Because Petrie California's sherry really makes waiting for dinner a pleasure.
<v Speaker 2>That Petrie sherry is the perfect before dinner wine. Just
<v Speaker 2>look at his beautiful amber color and then taste that
<v Speaker 2>wonderful Petrie sherry.
<v Speaker 1>What a flavor.
<v Speaker 2>Petri sherry has a rich, nutty flavor that's right from
<v Speaker 2>the heart of sunripe grapes. And if you like your
<v Speaker 2>sherry dry, you know, not sweet, you want to get
<v Speaker 2>Petree pale dry sherry or better yet, taste them both.
<v Speaker 1>Don't buy one, buy two. Those letters P. E. T.
<v Speaker 2>R I on the label are the personal assurance of
<v Speaker 2>the Petrie family that Petree Sherry is truly good wine.
<v Speaker 2>And now it's time to keep the weekly appointment with
<v Speaker 2>our good friend, doctor Watson.
<v Speaker 1>How are you deceading? Doctor? I never felt better. Thank you,
<v Speaker 1>mister Botel. Drow up your usual churn, make.
<v Speaker 2>Yourself comfortable, thank you. I see you've had the old
<v Speaker 2>ten dispatch box out again. I suppose you've been going
<v Speaker 2>through your notes on tonight's new share lock owns advantage.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I think you will find it as pretty little
<v Speaker 3>problem as we ever encountered. Story began at eighteen hundred
<v Speaker 3>and eighty seven.
<v Speaker 1>That it is year for us, my boy.
<v Speaker 3>It was the same year that Home solved the case
<v Speaker 3>of the Amateur Mellican Society who held their meetings in
<v Speaker 3>a luxuriously furnished vault below a furniture warehouse.
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I remember that story, Darkling.
<v Speaker 2>And wasn't eighty seven the year you both escaped from
<v Speaker 2>death in the paradal chamber?
<v Speaker 4>It was?
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, you've got a very good memory, Misberto. The story
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to tell you tonight topped off this unusually
<v Speaker 3>exciting year. It was late in October and the equinoxial
<v Speaker 3>gales had set in with exceptional violence. All day, the
<v Speaker 3>wind had howled, and the rain had beaten against the
<v Speaker 3>windows of our Baker Street lodgings. Finally, it was midnight.
<v Speaker 3>As far as I remember, the storm grew higher and louder,
<v Speaker 3>and the wind in the chimney sobbed like a child. Suddenly,
<v Speaker 3>much to our surprise, the doorbell jangled, and a few
<v Speaker 3>months later, our midnight visitor.
<v Speaker 1>Stood before us. He was a man of about forty five,
<v Speaker 1>and as he looked about him anxiously on the glare
<v Speaker 1>of the lamp.
<v Speaker 3>I could see that his face was pale, and that
<v Speaker 3>his eyes heavy, like those of a man who was
<v Speaker 3>weighed down with some great anxiety.
<v Speaker 1>And when he spoke, his urn was businesslike and almost aggressive.
<v Speaker 5>I've come to you for advice, mister Holmes, that's easily obtained,
<v Speaker 5>and help that is not always so easy.
<v Speaker 1>It helps the gentlemen off this coat, But he wasn't
<v Speaker 1>you let me hang it up for you? Thank you, sir.
<v Speaker 6>I heard of you, mister Holmes, from Major Pendergast Toyert.
<v Speaker 6>He said that you could solve anything. I'm ready said
<v Speaker 6>too much, that you've never been beaten. I've been beaten
<v Speaker 6>four times, serves, three times by men and once by
<v Speaker 6>a woman.
<v Speaker 1>That's the person.
<v Speaker 5>You sit down and introduce yourself. My friend's name is Watson,
<v Speaker 5>Dr Watson.
<v Speaker 1>How do you lose her? How do you do? Doctor?
<v Speaker 1>My name is Lovelace, Edmund Lovelace.
<v Speaker 5>And what brings you to me at this hour of
<v Speaker 5>the night? Mister Lovelace, I'm in terrible trouble.
<v Speaker 6>Mister Holmes, you don't know anything about me, but if
<v Speaker 6>you'll accept my case, you can save four lives.
<v Speaker 5>I wouldn't say that I know nothing about ucer, though
<v Speaker 5>It's true that I know little beyond the somewhat obvious
<v Speaker 5>fact that well you are single, that you keep a
<v Speaker 5>dog but not a man servant, and that you are
<v Speaker 5>much preoccupied the goverasiness, which I take to be some
<v Speaker 5>form of insurance.
<v Speaker 3>Oh come, come, come now, what is this well i've met?
<v Speaker 3>I'll wage to let my friends right, though, isn't he
<v Speaker 3>mister Lovelace?
<v Speaker 1>Perfectly?
<v Speaker 5>But I'll be hanged if I can see how he knows.
<v Speaker 5>It's a practical application of logic, sir. The briefcase that
<v Speaker 5>you carry it might at first indicate a barrister or
<v Speaker 5>some other professional man. But your brusque business business like
<v Speaker 5>manna contracts that suggestion.
<v Speaker 1>An insurance broke up who must visit.
<v Speaker 5>Clients at odd hours is the likeliest man to combine
<v Speaker 5>that manner with a briefcase of midnight that the wife
<v Speaker 5>and the man servant, and the fact that I'm preoccupied
<v Speaker 5>with my business. Your couplings don't match, sir, They each
<v Speaker 5>is from a different pair. That would suggest preoccupation. And
<v Speaker 5>it's a mistake that neither a wife nor a man
<v Speaker 5>servant would have allowed to passe.
<v Speaker 1>How about the dog? I can't see.
<v Speaker 5>I shall let you punder on that matter, while mister
<v Speaker 5>Lovelace tells.
<v Speaker 6>Us is probably mister Holmes, are you interested in preventing
<v Speaker 6>a murder as in solving one?
<v Speaker 1>Naturally? I am mister Lovelace's even more so. But please
<v Speaker 1>tell me you're sorry.
<v Speaker 6>I live with four cousins of mine in an old
<v Speaker 6>houst in Camberwell. My grandfather left the house and a
<v Speaker 6>sizeable fortune to the five of us on condition that
<v Speaker 6>we lived together.
<v Speaker 1>And maintained the family unity.
<v Speaker 6>It probably won't surprise you to know that we've grown
<v Speaker 6>to get pretty much on each other's nerves.
<v Speaker 1>What happens if one of you dies, mister Lovelace, his.
<v Speaker 6>Share is divided among the others.
<v Speaker 5>The wonder to me is there that not that a
<v Speaker 5>murder may take place, but that it has not happened
<v Speaker 5>one ago.
<v Speaker 1>Who's responsible for the administration of the estate. My cousin Gerald.
<v Speaker 6>He's much older than the rest of us, and he's
<v Speaker 6>a thoroughly unpleasant, cantankerous man. He gets an extra share
<v Speaker 6>in the estate as administrator, and in consequence he doesn't.
<v Speaker 1>Work we feel, of course, but he.
<v Speaker 6>Lives all of us and we're continually quarreling with him
<v Speaker 6>about it.
<v Speaker 1>Sounds like a jolly asshole is going to be trouble,
<v Speaker 1>mister Holmes, I know it.
<v Speaker 6>Gerald hates us and he's jealous of our share in
<v Speaker 6>the estate.
<v Speaker 1>Who spoke of preventing murder just now?
<v Speaker 5>Yet I can see that you've selected your cousin Gerald
<v Speaker 5>as the potential murderer.
<v Speaker 1>Am I right? Yes you are.
<v Speaker 6>But don't think it's personal prejudice that makes me suspect him.
<v Speaker 6>I have good reason for doing so.
<v Speaker 1>What reason? This evening?
<v Speaker 6>Just before dinner, I can jerrold off with his top
<v Speaker 6>coat and went to hang it up for him. As
<v Speaker 6>I did so, I heard a strange pallid clink in
<v Speaker 6>one of his pockets. I slipped my hand inside it
<v Speaker 6>and found a hypodermic syringe and a small pile of liquid.
<v Speaker 1>I opened the pile and smelled it. Gentlemen, it reeked
<v Speaker 1>of bitter almond. Mister Sila, Eh, what did you do?
<v Speaker 6>I thought of destroying it, but I realized that would
<v Speaker 6>put him on his guard, so I replaced it in
<v Speaker 6>his pocket. Of course, I warned the others, and we
<v Speaker 6>decided that I had come to you. I had a
<v Speaker 6>most important client tonight. Who I'd have been here earlier?
<v Speaker 2>He is?
<v Speaker 3>It seems odd that you didn't come directed to mister
<v Speaker 3>Helms as soon you'd made a discovery mister Lovelace. After all,
<v Speaker 3>if a potential murderers walking about with a pocket full
<v Speaker 3>of silent, I should have thought that it itself was
<v Speaker 3>more importand business.
<v Speaker 6>Well, I yes, I I course, if I seem so
<v Speaker 6>to you, doctor, that's the most interesting stick you carriser me.
<v Speaker 1>I exactly it, of course, h thank god.
<v Speaker 3>Now I see how you deduced that mister Lovelace had
<v Speaker 3>a dog homes marks of the dog's teeth.
<v Speaker 1>Of the stick.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, my dear Bussi, but these marks under scrutiny give
<v Speaker 5>us more specific information.
<v Speaker 1>He's a large dog.
<v Speaker 5>You've had him for some years, mister Lovelace, and he's
<v Speaker 5>now old and feeble.
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're perfectly.
<v Speaker 6>Right, But I'll be hindy if I can see how
<v Speaker 6>you can tell that from looking at a walking stick.
<v Speaker 5>This stick is covered with teeth marks. Therefore it has
<v Speaker 5>been carried many times by the dog. Now it's done
<v Speaker 5>the heaviest stick, so only a large dog could have
<v Speaker 5>carried it.
<v Speaker 1>And the teeth marks also indicate a large jaw.
<v Speaker 5>The older marks are deep sunk loqure, the fresh ones
<v Speaker 5>where the wood is not yet dark, and a shallow Yes,
<v Speaker 5>it's obvious that the jaws are losing their spring.
<v Speaker 1>Let's put a cover of you, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 6>But I don't see what it has to do with
<v Speaker 6>the case of hand.
<v Speaker 1>Neither do I homes I must confess now.
<v Speaker 5>Surely it tells us that your story, mister Lovelace, may
<v Speaker 5>bear or less terrifying implication than you think. On the
<v Speaker 5>other hand, it's implication may be even more terrifying. Oh,
<v Speaker 5>it's late at night. I feel that any feather delay
<v Speaker 5>in this matter would be extremely dangerous. I suggest to
<v Speaker 5>get a cab and I'm jahus in Campbewell at once.
<v Speaker 1>Alice, Randolph and Dad, you're still up.
<v Speaker 6>I was able to persuade mister Shellakurks and Dr Watson
<v Speaker 6>to come back with me.
<v Speaker 1>Gentlemen, this is my cousin, Alice Harley. How do you do?
<v Speaker 1>How do you do? Miss Harley? How do you do?
<v Speaker 5>And my cousin Randolph Lovely. I told him about the
<v Speaker 5>whole business, Randolph, so we can all speak perfectly freely.
<v Speaker 7>Let's begin by sitting down, shall we. Randolf and I
<v Speaker 7>had just finished a little cold supper. We've been to
<v Speaker 7>the theater tonight.
<v Speaker 5>Well, mister Holmes, I suppose Edmund told you about finding
<v Speaker 5>the hypodermic sperience and the cyanide in Gerald's coat pocket. Yes, indeed,
<v Speaker 5>may I ask where your cousin Gerald Lovelace is now.
<v Speaker 7>We left the house at seven, but I imagine Gerald went
<v Speaker 7>upstairs at eight as usual, didn't.
<v Speaker 1>He on the stroke of eight? Alice.
<v Speaker 6>He's very fixed in his habits, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>He goes up to his room every night at eight.
<v Speaker 1>There he needs or works on his accounts and.
<v Speaker 6>Eventually goes to bed any time between ten and one, for.
<v Speaker 1>He might still be up.
<v Speaker 5>I should like to speak to him a little later
<v Speaker 5>in the meanwhile, may I ask you, two young people,
<v Speaker 5>tell me, quite honestly your feelings about your cousin Gerald, and.
<v Speaker 1>You might as well be Frank. I've kept nothing back.
<v Speaker 7>All right, ran Off and I hate him fast of all.
<v Speaker 7>We're sure he's jealous of our shares in the estate.
<v Speaker 1>And then we Alice and I want to get married.
<v Speaker 1>Mister Holmes and Gerald won't hear of it.
<v Speaker 2>But you're your.
<v Speaker 1>Cousins, aren't you?
<v Speaker 7>Only second cousins, Doctor Watson. Gerald is dreadfully conventional. He's
<v Speaker 7>threatened us that if we do get married, he'll go
<v Speaker 7>to court until they have our shares in the estate annulled.
<v Speaker 5>And from the way the will is worded, I wouldn't
<v Speaker 5>be surprised he could do it. So you can see
<v Speaker 5>why we have no great love for him, why we're
<v Speaker 5>afraid of him.
<v Speaker 1>He turns an extremely unfilled persons to you.
<v Speaker 5>You mentioned there were five cousins in the house. Three
<v Speaker 5>of you were here. Mister Gerald's lovelace is upstairs. Who
<v Speaker 5>and where is the fifth cousin. The fifth cousin is
<v Speaker 5>my brother Skilly. He's something of a tragic Fred.
<v Speaker 1>You see.
<v Speaker 5>Gilly is twenty, but he he never developed mentally beyond
<v Speaker 5>the age of eight.
<v Speaker 1>He had a bad fall in the hunting field when
<v Speaker 1>he was a kid. He's been like this ever since.
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry to hear that, sir, but he's the.
<v Speaker 7>Dearest, most gentle boy you've ever met, and.
<v Speaker 6>Incidentally, the one person in this house who doesn't hate Gerald.
<v Speaker 1>And poor Fellow doesn't understand the conditions of the world
<v Speaker 1>last monson.
<v Speaker 7>No, but if he did, I don't think it'd make
<v Speaker 7>any difference. I swear Gilly loves every living thing, especially Gladstone.
<v Speaker 1>Gladstone is the name of his dog, his dog. Yes,
<v Speaker 1>the dog may be the key to this whole matter.
<v Speaker 1>Dog What makes you say that home?
<v Speaker 5>When a man brings a quick and painless poison home
<v Speaker 5>to ourself, containing an old and feeble dog, it's more
<v Speaker 5>than possible that he has obtained that poison quite legitimately,
<v Speaker 5>to give the dog a merciful death, to kill Gladstone.
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, after all, Alice, dear, he is old and
<v Speaker 1>almost blind.
<v Speaker 6>With mister Holmes, if you think Gerald brought home the
<v Speaker 6>poison to put Gladstone out of the way. When I
<v Speaker 6>admit it sounds perfectly logical. What made you to say
<v Speaker 6>come here tonight?
<v Speaker 5>Because I dare not even guess what you may have
<v Speaker 5>done by including the thought of murder in this situation?
<v Speaker 1>And where is your brother, Gilly in his room upstairs asleep?
<v Speaker 1>I wonder if we might go up to him. I
<v Speaker 1>like to talk, if you don't mind. And after that
<v Speaker 1>I I want a few words with your cousin, Gerald Lovelace.
<v Speaker 1>He's asleep, stole with a dog in his arm. M
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna play. We'll have to awaken him, Killy, Killy,
<v Speaker 1>that's all right. I'm not going to help him. Gilly. Hm?
<v Speaker 1>Who is it? Oh?
<v Speaker 4>Hello, Alice? Who are these men? They've come to take
<v Speaker 4>Gladstone away?
<v Speaker 2>Oh?
<v Speaker 1>No, Gillouis We have not, Gilly. We've just come to
<v Speaker 1>admire him. No, brother's been telling us what a fine
<v Speaker 1>dog he is. Huh, that's different. He isn't he beautiful?
<v Speaker 4>I I just had such a wonderful dream about him,
<v Speaker 4>Such a wonderful dream.
<v Speaker 1>What was it, Billy? Hmm? Well he was all young again.
<v Speaker 1>It's just a puppy.
<v Speaker 4>He was chasing a rabbit across a cliff top and
<v Speaker 4>and I was running with him. Oh, Glaston looked so beautiful,
<v Speaker 4>didn't you, old boy? Of course you did. And and
<v Speaker 4>you know, the rabbit went down a hole, and Gladston
<v Speaker 4>went down after him, and I went down after Gladstone,
<v Speaker 4>and all had tea with the rabbits. Huh, so funny.
<v Speaker 4>He all had little green hats on, hats with feathers.
<v Speaker 4>I wanted Glaston to try one on, but you wouldn't.
<v Speaker 1>So sleepy. Come on, Gladston, let's go back to the
<v Speaker 1>tea party.
<v Speaker 5>Okay, his world may be a great gil more pleasant
<v Speaker 5>than ours, Watson. That's what I'd like to thank mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 5>Now it's act him for a few words for their
<v Speaker 5>cousin Gerald. His runs at the end of this corridor.
<v Speaker 1>I'm afraid Gilly wasn't much help to you, mister Harman
<v Speaker 1>on the country, young lady. He told me exactly what
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to know.
<v Speaker 8>Here we on.
<v Speaker 5>This is Gerald from there's no light under the door.
<v Speaker 5>He must have gone to sleep, and I'm afraid we
<v Speaker 5>must waken him too. Hm must sleeper, but he isn't.
<v Speaker 5>He's a remarkably LifeWise.
<v Speaker 1>I'm on twin track a match with the jat mandles
<v Speaker 1>at the head of his dead doctor Watson, while he's
<v Speaker 1>lying on the outside of his bed. He must be.
<v Speaker 1>There's blood on the pillow. Great Scot Holmes, the back
<v Speaker 1>of his car smashed him. He's murdered. Oh horrible, yes, Watson,
<v Speaker 1>the blows on his head, looking on the table by his.
<v Speaker 5>Bed, hypodermic syringe and a broken file, Yes, a broken file.
<v Speaker 1>Wreaking a bitter almonds for a devil.
<v Speaker 5>Well, I won't pretend I like him, but what a
<v Speaker 5>ghastly way to done.
<v Speaker 1>All they that take the sword shall perish.
<v Speaker 5>With the sword, so the scripture say, mister Lovelace. There
<v Speaker 5>is suspicion that the killing has brought murder to pass. Well,
<v Speaker 5>it's too late to prevent it. Job now is to
<v Speaker 5>find the killer and see that he's brought to justice.
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Watson will tell you the rest of his story
<v Speaker 2>in just a few seconds, just time enough for me
<v Speaker 2>to tell you that if there's one wine it's perfect
<v Speaker 2>for any occasion, it's Patrie, California's sherry. With a bottle
<v Speaker 2>of that rich and the colored Patrie sherry on hand.
<v Speaker 2>You can make that time before dinner a main event.
<v Speaker 2>And Patrick Sherry is the perfect answer to the question
<v Speaker 2>of what to serve when company comes. Serve Patrie Scharry
<v Speaker 2>alone and let its full wonderful flavor speak for itself,
<v Speaker 2>or served Patrick Cherry with or deerbs or party sandwiches.
<v Speaker 2>And remember you can serve Patrie Scharry, probably because Patrie
<v Speaker 2>is the proudest name in the history of American wine. Well,
<v Speaker 2>doctor Watson, so you found Gerald Lovelace dead in one
<v Speaker 2>of the bedrooms of the house in Camberwell, what did
<v Speaker 2>you do?
<v Speaker 1>Send for the police? Not at once?
<v Speaker 3>Sherlock Holmes persuaded the remainder of the household to give
<v Speaker 3>him the opportunity of examining the scene of the crime
<v Speaker 3>carefully before the police was sent for. And so a
<v Speaker 3>few minutes before one o'clock that October night, Holmes and
<v Speaker 3>I stood alone in the room of death.
<v Speaker 1>You know, Holmes, I think you should have sent for
<v Speaker 1>the police right away.
<v Speaker 5>And in case of fact this Watson, I prefer to
<v Speaker 5>be my own police. And I have spun the web.
<v Speaker 5>They may take the flies, but not before What are
<v Speaker 5>the results if you are medically examination old Chap.
<v Speaker 3>It's exactly Hugh reconstructed at homes. He was first beating
<v Speaker 3>on the head with that poker lying on the floor.
<v Speaker 3>Then he had the full file of sylide injected into
<v Speaker 3>his left wrist.
<v Speaker 1>Can you estimate the time of death to accurately?
<v Speaker 3>No, His room's confinedly hot. He might have died any
<v Speaker 3>time from one to five hours ago.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, it's now one o'clock, and we know that he
<v Speaker 5>was alive at eight statemand Lovelace saw him.
<v Speaker 1>Leave for his room at that hour. Ye, if he
<v Speaker 1>was telling the truth.
<v Speaker 5>One thing we do know for a fact is that
<v Speaker 5>this man was murdered and the exact moment he was
<v Speaker 5>going to bed.
<v Speaker 1>He's wearing his nightgown and nightcap. But his bed has
<v Speaker 1>not been slept in.
<v Speaker 3>And is it possible the murder might have killed him
<v Speaker 3>shortly after eight and then dressed him in his nightclothes.
<v Speaker 1>Confuses no matter, Chap.
<v Speaker 5>He will notice that the hypodemic needl passed to the
<v Speaker 5>sleeve of his night shirt.
<v Speaker 1>Here.
<v Speaker 5>Also the nightcap is crushed in bloodstained from the blows
<v Speaker 5>of the poker.
<v Speaker 1>No devil g Lovelace had prepared for bed. Yes, pot
<v Speaker 1>a glass of water on the night table and the
<v Speaker 1>per book.
<v Speaker 5>What yes, signs of a prosperous and meticulous man, fine
<v Speaker 5>gold watch and in excellent condition. Ah, there's the answer, Watson.
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? There's the answer, Watson.
<v Speaker 5>I just wound this watch one turn and then it
<v Speaker 5>was fully wound. That provides us with the time schedule
<v Speaker 5>for arm there. Come on, we'll send a servain for
<v Speaker 5>the police, and while they're on the way, if you'll
<v Speaker 5>call everyone together. I should like to put a few
<v Speaker 5>more questions to this family.
<v Speaker 1>Before the police arrive.
<v Speaker 5>I should like to carry your statements again very carefully,
<v Speaker 5>if you don't mind, mister Edmund Lovelace, what with your
<v Speaker 5>exact movements tonight?
<v Speaker 6>I left here shortly before ten, from ten o'clock until
<v Speaker 6>the time I came to baker'street.
<v Speaker 1>House with my clan. His name and address is.
<v Speaker 6>Derek Waterlow in nine on snow squares off Kensick.
<v Speaker 5>Thank you making note of these willy Watsons. You, miss Harley,
<v Speaker 5>and you, mister Randolph.
<v Speaker 1>Lovelace, went to the theater together.
<v Speaker 5>Can any independent witness testify as to your movements?
<v Speaker 7>Yes, mister Holmes, we went with friends the grant Moresby.
<v Speaker 7>They live at the Clarendon Hotel of charing Crosson.
<v Speaker 1>What time did you leave this house? Well, it was
<v Speaker 1>about a quarter to eight, wasn't it allus? Yes?
<v Speaker 7>And after the play we went to the Cafe Rore
<v Speaker 7>else for a little refreshment with our friends, and then
<v Speaker 7>came back here.
<v Speaker 8>I see.
<v Speaker 1>And what time did you arrive back at this house?
<v Speaker 5>Just a few minutes before midnight? I remember the grandfather
<v Speaker 5>clock in the hall striking just as we went into
<v Speaker 5>the drawing. And your brother Gilly, sir, I hate to
<v Speaker 5>waken him again.
<v Speaker 1>Have you any idea of his movements? Tight? Well, he
<v Speaker 1>never goes out after darkness.
<v Speaker 5>Mors But I spoke to the cook as we came
<v Speaker 5>in tonight. She says that he played cards with her
<v Speaker 5>until just after ten o'clock.
<v Speaker 7>He was fast asleep when I looked in on him
<v Speaker 7>shortly after midnight.
<v Speaker 5>Thank you you've made a note of all these facts, Watson.
<v Speaker 1>Here's I got them all down. Good. Then let's be
<v Speaker 1>o way to Baker Street.
<v Speaker 5>But the police, mister Holmes said, on the way, I know,
<v Speaker 5>please give them my regards. Will you apologize for my
<v Speaker 5>informality and tell them that I had the answer to
<v Speaker 5>this matter, probably in a little over twenty four hours.
<v Speaker 3>Homes Here, it is well after midnight. You haven't done
<v Speaker 3>a thing on the camera world case.
<v Speaker 1>No, but you have, old Chap.
<v Speaker 5>You've checked on all the time out of eyes and
<v Speaker 5>found them valid.
<v Speaker 1>I'm much obliged to and special. The Start was here tonight,
<v Speaker 1>you know, and he made some pretty costic remarks. I
<v Speaker 1>can tell you.
<v Speaker 5>Oh didn't you inform him that I'll have the answer
<v Speaker 5>to the problem for fore many hours past?
<v Speaker 1>Here's but you know the star he wanted action. He's
<v Speaker 1>gonna have it. The watch is still running. Another thing.
<v Speaker 3>What will the Start say when he finds that you

<v Speaker 1>the morning.

<v Speaker 3>What are you rewinding it for? Homes You waited over
<v Speaker 3>twenty four hours with unworm?
<v Speaker 5>When I know how it turns, it takes to wind
<v Speaker 5>it fully, I shall have the answer to the whole business.
<v Speaker 1>Ten eleven. You're being confinedly mysterious as usual.
<v Speaker 5>Fourteen fourteen turns and the watch is fully wound. Get
<v Speaker 5>your clothes on, old chap.
<v Speaker 1>Where are we going on this?
<v Speaker 5>The house in Camberwell, now I know who murdered Gerald's lovelace, mister.
<v Speaker 1>Edmonds, that lace. I'm glad to let us in.
<v Speaker 5>Please take us up to your young cousin's room at once, Billy,
<v Speaker 5>what do.
<v Speaker 6>You want to?
<v Speaker 1>Please take us up to him? Of course? But what
<v Speaker 1>brings you hear it this hour of the morning. Terms
<v Speaker 1>knows who's murdered your cousin.
<v Speaker 6>I'm served to hear it more than the police seems.
<v Speaker 5>You know, they were here half the night class examining us.
<v Speaker 1>Here we are. I don't bother to knock, Billy, Billy,
<v Speaker 1>I'm awake.
<v Speaker 4>We heard you coming up the stairs, didn't we, Glaston,
<v Speaker 4>it's the same man again.
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to take Gladston away, are you? Please?
<v Speaker 1>Don't take him away. We're not going to touch him.
<v Speaker 5>Oh all right then, oh Gilly, Yes, you really love
<v Speaker 5>that dog, don't you.
<v Speaker 1>Of course I do more than anything or anybody. I
<v Speaker 1>believe you.
<v Speaker 5>Would even kill a man who tried to hurt Gladston,
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't Joe, Oh, yes, sir, I won't get it, No,
<v Speaker 5>great shotter, Gilly. I don't think you really kill a man.
<v Speaker 5>I don't think you could.
<v Speaker 1>Hah, couldn't die though? How would you kill him? I'd
<v Speaker 1>hit him first. I'd take a poker and hit him
<v Speaker 1>on the head so he couldn't fight back. And then
<v Speaker 1>I'd take the lasty needle.
<v Speaker 4>He told me he was going to stick in Glaston and.
<v Speaker 1>And and I'd fill it full of that water he
<v Speaker 1>showed me, and I'd stick it in him. That's what
<v Speaker 1>I do. Then he'd be dead and he couldn't hurt
<v Speaker 1>my Glaston anymore.
<v Speaker 5>Not ever, Let's leave him, shall we? Good Bye Gilly
<v Speaker 5>Pu's dreams.
<v Speaker 1>Good Bye, sir, little Glaster. You satisfied, sir? Yes, poor Guinea,
<v Speaker 1>there's no doubt about it, canna be.
<v Speaker 3>No one had described the murder to him, and yet
<v Speaker 3>he's just given an exact description.
<v Speaker 1>It's method. What will happened to him? They they won't try.
<v Speaker 5>It, No, no, no, no, little pressure in the right places,
<v Speaker 5>and you'll be released to a private nursing home.
<v Speaker 1>I'll do everything I can. Mister Lovelace, thank you, mister Helms,
<v Speaker 1>thank you very much.
<v Speaker 3>Well, Holmes, now that we're back in Vaker Streets and
<v Speaker 3>the whole pressing case is finished with, perhaps you'll tell
<v Speaker 3>me how you.
<v Speaker 1>Knew that Billy had committed them.
<v Speaker 5>The time schedules all alarm. You checked the alibis the
<v Speaker 5>other cousins and found them satisfactory. That meant that Alice
<v Speaker 5>Harley and Randolph Lovelace could have committed the crime only
<v Speaker 5>at midnight, Edmund on late before ten, Gilly, only around eleven.
<v Speaker 5>You said that the time of death could have been
<v Speaker 5>at any of those hours.
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I did, so how did you pin it down
<v Speaker 1>to eleven? The watch gave me the specific cancer.
<v Speaker 5>When I picked it up, I am thinking, I'm thinkingly wound.
<v Speaker 1>It made one turn, was then fully wound. Now when
<v Speaker 1>does the stotic of precise.
<v Speaker 5>Man like Gerald Lovelace wind his watch just He's going
<v Speaker 5>to be exactly ol Collum, so that it was obvious
<v Speaker 5>that he was killed precisely one watch stem turn before
<v Speaker 5>I wound his watch.
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm beginning to see daylight at Holmes. So you
<v Speaker 1>let the watch run down.
<v Speaker 5>That's what I did. It took twenty eight hours, from
<v Speaker 5>one o'clock the night before last until five this morning. Now,
<v Speaker 5>how many turns did it take to rewind it? Fourteen,
<v Speaker 5>wasn't That's right? Therefore one turn of the watch stem
<v Speaker 5>equal two hours, proving that Gerald Lovelace had been murdered
<v Speaker 5>two hours before one o'clock at eleven pm.
<v Speaker 1>When Gilly was the only one who could have done it.
<v Speaker 3>You know, Holmes, I still find it hard to believe
<v Speaker 3>that boy was capable.
<v Speaker 1>Of such a ghastly crime. He seems so gentle old.
<v Speaker 5>Years years, except when his beloved dog's life was at stake.
<v Speaker 5>Probably out of some mistaken notion of kindness, General Lovelace
<v Speaker 5>warn the boy of his intentions regarding the dog.
<v Speaker 1>It's a sad business. What's in a sad business? I
<v Speaker 1>hate to think of that boy as spending the rest
<v Speaker 1>of his life in a mental health I have one
<v Speaker 1>prayer for his future. What's that home? The dog Babston
<v Speaker 1>can't live very long.
<v Speaker 8>I prayed Gilly does not long outlive him.
<v Speaker 1>That was a remarkable bit of deduction on the part
<v Speaker 1>of mister Holm. Yes, extremely cover wasn't. Of course, I
<v Speaker 1>may say, so I was some small help? Was so
<v Speaker 1>small help? Why?
<v Speaker 2>Doctor, you practically solve the case by yourself. But doctor,
<v Speaker 2>you did check all the alibis, didn't you. Yes, I
<v Speaker 2>checked where each suspect was at very time, as you
<v Speaker 2>checked time. And what's more important than time?
<v Speaker 1>WHOA why? Doctor?
<v Speaker 2>Time is even vitally important when it comes to wine.
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering how you going to bring that in?
<v Speaker 2>And one thing we do know, Petrie took time to
<v Speaker 2>bring you good wine, so nobody can miss with Petri wine.
<v Speaker 1>It's just gotta be good.
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can't be in the wine business as
<v Speaker 2>long as the Petrie family without really learning all about
<v Speaker 2>the fine art of making wine. And don't forget the
<v Speaker 2>Petrie family has been making fine wine since way back
<v Speaker 2>in the eighteen hundreds, so naturally they've been able to
<v Speaker 2>hand on down from father to son, from father to son,
<v Speaker 2>the result of generations of experience at turning luscious sun
<v Speaker 2>ripe and grapes into fragrant, delicious wine. No matter what
<v Speaker 2>type of wine you prefer, you'll like it more if
<v Speaker 2>it's a Petree wine, because Petree took time to bring
<v Speaker 2>you good wine. Well, doctor Watson, what new Sherlock Holmes story.
<v Speaker 2>Do you plan to tell us next world on next week?
<v Speaker 3>Mister about chall, I'm going to tell you a most
<v Speaker 3>unusual adventure the terms and I had when we were
<v Speaker 3>tending a performance at the Upper House in Rome. Concerns
<v Speaker 3>the famous singer lost her voice, an understudy who was
<v Speaker 3>nearly lynched, and a murder that baffles the police. I
<v Speaker 3>call it the Adventure of the Terrifying Cats.
<v Speaker 1>Well that's the story we've got to hear. Thank you,
<v Speaker 1>mister Bartel.
<v Speaker 3>And before you go, I want to talk to our
<v Speaker 3>friends about their war bonds. You know, during the war,
<v Speaker 3>the best investment we could find was a United States
<v Speaker 3>war bond, and for my money, there's still a great investment.
<v Speaker 3>They're called United States savings bonds now, and only the
<v Speaker 3>name is changed. Savings bonds are sold in the same
<v Speaker 3>denominations and give you all the same advantages, and you
<v Speaker 3>can buy savings bonds at the same places at your
<v Speaker 3>bank or your postuff store through the payroll savings plans.
<v Speaker 3>So invest all you can in United States savings bonds
<v Speaker 3>because you cannot.
<v Speaker 1>Find a better or a safer investment. To night.
