Sherlock Holmes - Cadaver in Roman Toga

<v Speaker 1>From New York, the makers of clipper Craft Cloth for Man,
<v Speaker 1>and nine hundred and twenty four leading retail stores from
<v Speaker 1>coast to coast present the world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes.
<v Speaker 1>Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes,
<v Speaker 1>created by Sir Arthur Colan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed
<v Speaker 1>by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the
<v Speaker 1>dramatizations are by Edith Miser. Once again, we find ourselves
<v Speaker 1>in front of Doctor Watson's crackling fire and man.
<v Speaker 2>Mister Harrison terms that put on a fresh friend, not
<v Speaker 2>so our listeners can really hear it, as to keep
<v Speaker 2>a good ahead.
<v Speaker 3>Mister Harris.
<v Speaker 1>Outside of cold white autumn mist shrouds the black tree skeletons,
<v Speaker 1>but inside we sit warm and cozy and ready for
<v Speaker 1>another of Doctor Watson's fabulous Sherlock Holmes adventures. Wants it
<v Speaker 1>to be tonight, Sir.
<v Speaker 2>Your conversation with white shrouds and skirts brings to mind
<v Speaker 2>one of the most bizarre problems we ever undertook to solve.
<v Speaker 2>It came desh curse to being our final problem. As
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, that sounds promising doctor. Nothing I
<v Speaker 2>like better than hearing about Holmes in a tight spot.
<v Speaker 2>And whenever our adversary proved to be the notorious Professor Mariati,
<v Speaker 2>it was generally a very tight spot.
<v Speaker 1>Professor Moriarity, wasn't he the man Holmes referred to as
<v Speaker 1>from Napolling of crime?
<v Speaker 2>The same Actually this case began means the George Westbrook
<v Speaker 2>discovered a corpse vested in a Roman senators toga tunic
<v Speaker 2>and tendals, so it was always maintained he could deduce
<v Speaker 2>man's entire hist tip.
<v Speaker 3>From his wardrobe.
<v Speaker 1>But this tabby doctor speaking of judging people by their clothes,
<v Speaker 1>I thought, Miss.
<v Speaker 2>Myers, Yes, of course, I hope must forgot. Let's send
<v Speaker 2>a few words from Asponsa, who is also an authority
<v Speaker 2>on the subject of gentlemen.
<v Speaker 4>As a parel.
<v Speaker 1>May I say, doctor Watson, that most people, like mister
<v Speaker 1>Holmes do judge people by their appearance. That's mighty important
<v Speaker 1>in connection with clipper craft clothes, because you'd never guess
<v Speaker 1>clipper craft costs so little. Such low prices for such
<v Speaker 1>truly fine quality are rare, to say the least, clipper
<v Speaker 1>craft suits are yours for only thirty five and forty dollars,
<v Speaker 1>with a few special numbers at forty three seventy five.
<v Speaker 1>Top coats and overcoats are only thirty to forty dollars,
<v Speaker 1>and sport jackets twenty four dollars. These are planned values,
<v Speaker 1>the results of the clipper Craft Plan, concentrating the buying
<v Speaker 1>power of nine hundred and twenty four leading stores across
<v Speaker 1>the country, resulting in tremendous savings and manufacturing and distribution costs.
<v Speaker 1>All this is yours in your own local independence store,
<v Speaker 1>where friendly attention is traditionally yours. Want to convince yourself
<v Speaker 1>it's as easy as a visit to your clippercraft dealers.
<v Speaker 1>Just compare clipper Craft with clothes selling for many dollars
<v Speaker 1>more and now doctor Watson to get back to the
<v Speaker 1>gentleman in the Roman toga.
<v Speaker 3>All right, mister Harrison. It all began on a freezing
<v Speaker 3>winter morning. My first view of Baker.
<v Speaker 2>Street presented a dispiriting glimpse of icy sleet falling between
<v Speaker 2>the dun colored houses. I don't buy coppet slippers, my
<v Speaker 2>oldest trousers, and a well worn battle with the firm
<v Speaker 2>intent of enjoying a passive breakfast and settling myself in
<v Speaker 2>front of the fire for.
<v Speaker 4>The rest of the day.
<v Speaker 2>I nur sooner opened our city room door when I
<v Speaker 2>caught sight of homes tempting abouts, swing to himself and
<v Speaker 2>tossing his chiny golden coin into the air.
<v Speaker 4>Confounded, if I could only day hands.
<v Speaker 2>On the villainy morning, Holmes, what seems to be the
<v Speaker 2>difficulty today?
<v Speaker 5>Difficulty Mariarty is back in business. Only this morning missus
<v Speaker 5>Hudson received this coin hereppen, look at the handsome goes
<v Speaker 5>Soverigron flooding the town with them.
<v Speaker 2>Please, God don't tell me for person Moriarty, the rigiest
<v Speaker 2>criminal in Europe, has turns his anthropist.
<v Speaker 5>You know, such luck that coin, Watson is counterfit a
<v Speaker 5>brilliant job. For the pity only an expert can stopped.
<v Speaker 5>Wonder Mariarty has been so quiet these last two months.
<v Speaker 5>It takes time to.
<v Speaker 4>Develop a coin as perfect as this.
<v Speaker 2>Well, at least he hasn't had time for murder, Arson
<v Speaker 2>or any more of.
<v Speaker 3>His serious crimes.
<v Speaker 5>Serious you think flooding the country with counterfeit coins isn't serious, Watson,
<v Speaker 5>You realize what this will do to the value of.
<v Speaker 3>The pond by jove, of course, Hey homes, that's our
<v Speaker 3>door bell.
<v Speaker 4>Tell miss Hudson, I'm not at home. But are you
<v Speaker 4>not accepting any toughy hate me cases?
<v Speaker 5>Not by mari artist threatening the credit of the empire
<v Speaker 5>with his fortunate copess.
<v Speaker 3>Come in.
<v Speaker 4>I U which of you, gentlemen is Sherlock Holmes?
<v Speaker 3>And my thing over there has the honor whatever it is.
<v Speaker 4>I'm busy, ah, but this is terribly terribly important. So
<v Speaker 4>I I don't know what to do.
<v Speaker 5>He's dead, you see, dead men do not interestmay couldn't
<v Speaker 5>you inform his realities?
<v Speaker 4>Well that's just did I don't know who they are.
<v Speaker 3>I don't even know who he is.
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know when he died. Albert, he's my assistant,
<v Speaker 4>says it must have been over a thousand years ago.
<v Speaker 6>But that seems quite impossible. There's not the slightest sign
<v Speaker 6>of decomposition.
<v Speaker 4>Oh.
<v Speaker 6>On the other hand, and until Albert and I broke
<v Speaker 6>through this morning, no one.
<v Speaker 4>Had been in that room for centuries. What rom the
<v Speaker 4>Roman bars? I discovered them.
<v Speaker 6>You know, the Brits are undoubtedly ancient Roman. Even the
<v Speaker 6>cadevo was clad in a senator's tolder and genuine.
<v Speaker 7>I assure you we found.
<v Speaker 4>Him there in one corner. Let's get this straight. You
<v Speaker 4>found a fresh corpse dressed.
<v Speaker 5>In a Roman toga in some Roman ruins that have
<v Speaker 5>been buried for centuries. Mister Holmes, Watson, what are you
<v Speaker 5>waiting for? Bring the gentleman a chair. But he has
<v Speaker 5>said you were busy on irrelevant. This sounds interesting, very well.
<v Speaker 3>Won't you sit here?
<v Speaker 4>Mister? I'm sorry, I flaid I've forgot to introduce myself.
<v Speaker 3>Here.
<v Speaker 4>Here, here's my card we did for me wat them.
<v Speaker 2>Sir George Westbrook, President l and w A association That.
<v Speaker 4>Means London and Wessex Archaeological Association.
<v Speaker 5>Of course, of course, I remember hearing the Corporation of
<v Speaker 5>London had engaged you to investigate some ancient Roman remains
<v Speaker 5>which you discovered in the billings section.
<v Speaker 4>And that's right, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 6>Thereongo the basement is the Coal Exchange, lower Timistry. Albert
<v Speaker 6>and I've been blown away down there for over a month.
<v Speaker 6>This morning we broke through the final bit of brickwork
<v Speaker 6>and emerged into.
<v Speaker 4>A large subterranean chamber.
<v Speaker 3>All right, Albert, I.
<v Speaker 6>Think the opening's big enough. Yeah, give me the lantern
<v Speaker 6>I'll go through first, I.
<v Speaker 3>Said, George, your hand is shaken.
<v Speaker 6>Is it any wonder? I'm excited, Albert, unless.
<v Speaker 4>I'm very much mistaken.
<v Speaker 6>We've under some baths.
<v Speaker 4>That were built by the early Romans. Yes, well, come along. Careful,
<v Speaker 4>don't sell your clothing, I say, sir. It is a
<v Speaker 4>biggish room, missus, splendid, old but splendid. Look at that ceiling,
<v Speaker 4>will you an almost perfect condition?
<v Speaker 3>What's that in the corner over there? M looks like
<v Speaker 3>a heap of white clow.
<v Speaker 6>No, no, there's a leg sticking out of it.
<v Speaker 4>Good lord, it's a body.
<v Speaker 3>We best have a loc at its.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, but be careful, don't don't touch it, don't touch anything.
<v Speaker 4>What's that white thing? Is? Got done?
<v Speaker 3>Wait?
<v Speaker 4>It's a toga, elders, a Roman toga stopping wet sir?
<v Speaker 4>If you ask me it's been drowned brown? Did you
<v Speaker 4>say drownd Sir George. That's right, mister Holmes, and that's impossible.
<v Speaker 2>There hasn't been any water in those darth for over
<v Speaker 2>a thousand years.
<v Speaker 5>Interesting, very interesting. Tell me, sir, George, what was the
<v Speaker 5>condition of the air in that chamber when you broke in?
<v Speaker 4>Stay apreciated.
<v Speaker 6>No, mister Holmes, it was quite fresh. That's curious now
<v Speaker 6>that I think of it, because there was no other
<v Speaker 6>entrance to the room except the one we'd come through.
<v Speaker 6>The doorway to the rest of the bars was filled
<v Speaker 6>by a great heap of bricks and rubble. You were
<v Speaker 6>unable to identify the corpse. As a matter of fact,
<v Speaker 6>we didn't do any further investigating.
<v Speaker 4>Albert was quite overcome.
<v Speaker 6>By the side of the body. I'm afraid he's never
<v Speaker 6>been very strong about such things since the time that
<v Speaker 6>Mummy disintegrated in his arms.
<v Speaker 4>While we were working on those pre.
<v Speaker 6>Hellenic excavations and crete. I sent him home and came straight.
<v Speaker 4>Here to consult you. You mean you let no one
<v Speaker 4>behind the guard the body. No, mister Holmes, what where's
<v Speaker 4>my hat? Where's my coat?
<v Speaker 3>Watson?
<v Speaker 4>Don't stand there? There's no tiger doos.
<v Speaker 6>I suppose I should have informed the authorities, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 6>But the thought of all those stupid Scotland yard inspectors.
<v Speaker 4>Trembling around in my beautiful ruins. I've got heard of elephants.
<v Speaker 6>I left a couple of dark lanterns, Burnie, and yes
<v Speaker 6>here they are.
<v Speaker 4>This peking case. All right, now follow me, gentlemen.
<v Speaker 3>Why do your basements have to be so damp? And
<v Speaker 3>you're pressing?
<v Speaker 4>Careful there, careful? This is this is where we started
<v Speaker 4>to dig. It's rather rough tunnels slanting downward. You have
<v Speaker 4>to bend over.
<v Speaker 3>I'm afraid you're sure there This earth won't eve.
<v Speaker 4>In on us.
<v Speaker 6>No, I don't think so, unless, of course, someone should
<v Speaker 6>give it a tremendous push of some sort.
<v Speaker 2>Ah.
<v Speaker 6>It is where we brought through the wall. You'll be
<v Speaker 6>interested in this, mister Holmes. Notice the masonry, Yes, yes,
<v Speaker 6>the bricks are undoubtedly Roman. Let's see they measure nine
<v Speaker 6>and a half inches long by four and a half
<v Speaker 6>inches broad, and I'll live one and three quarter inches thick,
<v Speaker 6>not unlike those of the Roman bars of.
<v Speaker 3>Rochester, except that they are the tiles that are mere
<v Speaker 3>one and a half.
<v Speaker 4>Inches thick and measure sixteen inches.
<v Speaker 2>By twelve Really, homes, if we can have to discuss
<v Speaker 2>brakes or inspect a body, never neglect an opportunity to
<v Speaker 2>increase your store of knowledge, Watson, and step my dream.
<v Speaker 3>With a lot of useless titter tattle.
<v Speaker 4>Not me is the hole we made in the walls
<v Speaker 4>to homes it's not very large. I'm afraid I'll go
<v Speaker 4>through first and light the way. Well, gentlemen, if you follow.
<v Speaker 3>Me, I'll go next, and you can bring up the
<v Speaker 3>rear Watson with the other lantern.
<v Speaker 4>I've been on Malliel.
<v Speaker 3>That don't be such a rush. Here, take the lantern.
<v Speaker 3>It's squeeze you. If hello, I think I'm stuck.
<v Speaker 4>If you'll pulling his other arms, Sir George.
<v Speaker 3>Right, oh, if you've got to get out of there,
<v Speaker 3>I told.
<v Speaker 4>You you should go on a diet Watson for.
<v Speaker 2>Just because you're satisfactory. Look like a walking scared you're hello.
<v Speaker 2>This is a bloomin looking spot, more like a tune
<v Speaker 2>than the sort of place run things that was an
<v Speaker 2>elegant Roman bathing establishment, as.
<v Speaker 6>It certainly is more like a tomb at present, complete
<v Speaker 6>with the remains of the deceased, although how he was
<v Speaker 6>able to insinuate himself into this chamber, Yes, quite a superficial.
<v Speaker 5>Survey of the walls and ceilings certainly shows no signs
<v Speaker 5>of any recent.
<v Speaker 3>Entry, except by way of the hole through which we
<v Speaker 3>just drag Watson.
<v Speaker 4>Interesting and very interesting.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, suppose we view the body we came to investigate
<v Speaker 3>and This is over here.
<v Speaker 4>Mister Holmes, against the south wall over what watch your step.
<v Speaker 6>The flooring his bisouneedn here.
<v Speaker 4>He is exactly as we found him, lying on his.
<v Speaker 6>Face with one arm.
<v Speaker 4>Stretched over his head.
<v Speaker 2>Here, skinny old boy, wasn't he? I say, these rose
<v Speaker 2>or whatever it is he is wearing, they are sopping wet.
<v Speaker 5>Yes, the poor fellow was undoubtedly brown lung still full
<v Speaker 5>of water, extremined.
<v Speaker 2>His icy rigor well advanced. He's been just sixty eight hours,
<v Speaker 2>I should say, homes, how about it?
<v Speaker 5>Not necessarily the floor he's lying on. It is extremely cold.
<v Speaker 5>Also the air, of course.
<v Speaker 6>The really fantastic part of the whole pictures the man's raiment,
<v Speaker 6>the tunic in the toba with the wide purple strike,
<v Speaker 6>even the strong sandals are the authentic garments of an
<v Speaker 6>early Roman senator.
<v Speaker 4>So I see, so I see.
<v Speaker 5>Whoever this person was, he was thoroughly at home among
<v Speaker 5>Roman customs and manners. That ring of office on his
<v Speaker 5>outstretched hand is undoubtedly oftener.
<v Speaker 2>Oh look here, Holmes, you you don't actually believe this
<v Speaker 2>is a genuine Roman senator who got himself drowned in
<v Speaker 2>this room and managed him how to stay in this
<v Speaker 2>state of preservation no one's.
<v Speaker 3>There are several obvious floors to that theory.
<v Speaker 5>In the first pace, although the costume authentic in lime
<v Speaker 5>cut and drape, the woolen fabric of this togger was
<v Speaker 5>woven not on an ancient hand.
<v Speaker 4>Loom but by a modern machine.
<v Speaker 5>Second, the liquid in which the gentleman was drowned would
<v Speaker 5>have evaporated in a short time, even in very stale air.
<v Speaker 5>And third, this room is neither the frigidarium, which was
<v Speaker 5>the cold plunge, nor the cold arium, which was the
<v Speaker 5>warm No. Judging by the recessed benches built into the walls,
<v Speaker 5>this room was the pseudatorium, or what the Romans.
<v Speaker 4>Called the baba bar.
<v Speaker 6>But of course, mister Holmes, why didn't I think of that?
<v Speaker 4>But good Lord, then.
<v Speaker 3>So how was he drowned?
<v Speaker 4>And why?
<v Speaker 5>And suppose we turn the victim over, Sir George, his
<v Speaker 5>identity may give us the answer to those questions.
<v Speaker 4>Rights by Jervid.
<v Speaker 3>He looks wi even more Roman from this side. That
<v Speaker 3>knows those.
<v Speaker 2>Hawk flag features acs and rapacious old Caesar on a
<v Speaker 2>Roman coin.
<v Speaker 5>Rather accurate and appropriate description, My dear Watson. Yes, this,
<v Speaker 5>unless I'm very much mistaken. Is Brutus Octavius Bainbridge, the
<v Speaker 5>world's greatest numismatologist.
<v Speaker 3>You mean the coin esther.
<v Speaker 6>But of course I thought the old fellow looked familiar.
<v Speaker 6>I've heard the awful wore Roman dress when he was
<v Speaker 6>lounging about at home. Hum hm, So that part of
<v Speaker 6>our mystery is a perfectly normal explanation.
<v Speaker 4>Don't be too disappointed, Sir George.
<v Speaker 5>There are several other little questions to be cleared up,
<v Speaker 5>the answers to which may be rather more exciting than
<v Speaker 5>you anticipated.
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean, how well?
<v Speaker 5>For one thing, mister Bainbridge disappeared very suddenly from his
<v Speaker 5>home one night a little over two months ago, But
<v Speaker 5>a fortnight later the British Isles began to be flooded
<v Speaker 5>by an extraordinarily clever count of its sovereign. That Joe
<v Speaker 5>I pointed out to Scotland Yard that there might possibly
<v Speaker 5>be a connection between the two events. You mean mister
<v Speaker 5>bing Bridges, who was a counter I mean, as the
<v Speaker 5>greatest living authority on coins and coinage. He was undoubtedly
<v Speaker 5>kidnapped by a band of unusually their encounterfeiters and forced
<v Speaker 5>to assist them in their work.
<v Speaker 8>I thought you might possibly come to that conclusion, Missal.
<v Speaker 5>It's good, good voice where it come from over a
<v Speaker 5>hidden speaking to you with some sort I imagine?
<v Speaker 4>But who is it?
<v Speaker 5>Unless I'm very much mistaken? That point belongs to my
<v Speaker 5>aunt anversity.
<v Speaker 4>Greetings, Professor Mariat. So now you've taken up Colt of Biddy?
<v Speaker 5>Have I destroyed so many of your activities that you're
<v Speaker 5>running short of fun?
<v Speaker 8>I warned you repeatedly, Homes, that you were getting to
<v Speaker 8>be a nuisance. Surely you must have realized how danger
<v Speaker 8>is that?
<v Speaker 4>Gende.
<v Speaker 5>But my dear professor, surely you must realize the danger
<v Speaker 5>is the breath of life to.
<v Speaker 8>Me this time home, you've over reached yourself.
<v Speaker 7>On the contrary, mariafe it's you who have gone too far.
<v Speaker 7>Watson gets a George out of here? Are he talking
<v Speaker 7>to give you a chance to escape?
<v Speaker 5>Was it necessary to kill Bainbridge after you finished picking
<v Speaker 5>his brains?
<v Speaker 8>Not necessarily, my dear, Oh, but expedient we drowsed him.
<v Speaker 4>I wondered, if doctor Watson dangerous?
<v Speaker 3>Why well, destiny I can why not shot or strangle?
<v Speaker 4>I said, what's all this about? Homes? Get out of here,
<v Speaker 4>you idiot?
<v Speaker 3>Leave you in danger, I should say not.
<v Speaker 8>You see, doctor Watson, drowning would serve two purposes. It
<v Speaker 8>would eliminate mister Fainbridge, and it would provide a taste
<v Speaker 8>dear for mister Sirlock home. What do you mean I
<v Speaker 8>knew he'd never turned down an invitation involving the corps
<v Speaker 8>in a toga osteensically browned in.
<v Speaker 4>An ancient Roman.
<v Speaker 7>Bob, what's if you have no regard your own safety
<v Speaker 7>at least to have the intelligence to get Sir George
<v Speaker 7>on here.
<v Speaker 4>I'm dashed if I understand what's going on here.
<v Speaker 8>You will yourge You will sorry to have.
<v Speaker 4>To execute you too.
<v Speaker 8>But I'm afraid you signed your own death warrant when
<v Speaker 8>you sent for mister Sherlock Holmes instead of Scotland Yards.
<v Speaker 8>I rather thought you would you know, Oh well, this
<v Speaker 8>is what comes of associating with anyone who is polishing
<v Speaker 8>up to thinking you cannot with Professor Moriarty.
<v Speaker 3>Look, yeah, you blunder us. You didn't think you can
<v Speaker 3>pullet that shot homes On the.
<v Speaker 8>Other No, this Scott was there.
<v Speaker 5>I rather imagine one of the good Professor's hireling that's
<v Speaker 5>blown up the entrance to said George's tunnel.
<v Speaker 4>What do you you mean? We'll build it alive in
<v Speaker 4>this seven.
<v Speaker 8>Just like I either and her young man.
<v Speaker 7>Isn't it romantic?
<v Speaker 3>You might try.
<v Speaker 8>Singing yourself to death asbate it.
<v Speaker 4>Such a waste of time.
<v Speaker 3>I always thought, what a pity, mister Bainbridge won't be
<v Speaker 3>able to join you.
<v Speaker 4>You would have made such a jolly quartet.
<v Speaker 2>That's torn it at Holmes looks as we're in tomb,
<v Speaker 2>in this blasted place into Sir George's assistant tears up
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow morning and plans the tunnel caved in tomorrow.
<v Speaker 5>My dear Watson, this Sunday, from the day after a
<v Speaker 5>bank holiday, get to blow out one.
<v Speaker 4>Of the lanterns and save it for later.
<v Speaker 6>Well, this is terribooms to polls, but it will it
<v Speaker 6>will be asphyxiated by the time meld the rhymes on Tuesday.
<v Speaker 4>I doubt it, Sir George. There's a very definite movement
<v Speaker 4>of air. Fresh air. I see fresh air.
<v Speaker 5>If you'll wet a finger and hold it up your
<v Speaker 5>notice for the months to a slight breeze. No, I
<v Speaker 5>doubt that we shall die from any lack of oxygen.
<v Speaker 5>We may very well perish. However, from cold and exposure.
<v Speaker 5>Doesn't take long to feast to death in this temperature.
<v Speaker 5>It needn't be so compounded. Cheerful of that at homes
<v Speaker 5>only to rough Watson, as I was saying, we may
<v Speaker 5>very well expire unless we can discover how mister Bainbridge's
<v Speaker 5>body was brought into this room.
<v Speaker 3>What good will that do?
<v Speaker 5>Any passageway large enough to permit the entrance of this corpse,
<v Speaker 5>we'll also serve as an exit for sir George and myself.
<v Speaker 5>You Watson, may have a bit of trouble, or you
<v Speaker 5>go to Blaze's.
<v Speaker 4>But mister Holes, what passageway could there be? As you know,
<v Speaker 4>the architect the ancient room and vers was fairly identical.
<v Speaker 6>It was obviously the one doorway into this burthen that's
<v Speaker 6>blocked by a brick fall of burs and bricks.
<v Speaker 5>Quite but aren't you forgetting, Sir George, the small unseen
<v Speaker 5>cue black passage that invariably ran under all.
<v Speaker 4>The rooms except the cold fund.
<v Speaker 8>Of course.
<v Speaker 5>The hypocost un is a hypocost a smallish tunnel lined
<v Speaker 5>with red paving squares, which ran from a furnace outside
<v Speaker 5>the buildings.
<v Speaker 4>Under all the principal rooms of a Roman bath.
<v Speaker 5>If we can discover some loose tiling in this fore,
<v Speaker 5>we may thank the ancient Romans for inventing what our poor,
<v Speaker 5>retarded civilization considers a modern improvement, namely, central heating's discouraging.
<v Speaker 3>I've dug up two dozen.
<v Speaker 5>Spots, cheered up what's in. At least the activities kept
<v Speaker 5>you from freezing to death.
<v Speaker 3>Ruin lad trousers.
<v Speaker 4>Good thing I was wearing my old suit. I say,
<v Speaker 4>the nights, get him given homes.
<v Speaker 3>The second lesson is about burnt out.
<v Speaker 4>Keep digging, Watson, it's our only chance, I say, mister Holmes,
<v Speaker 4>could you come over here a minute. I think I've
<v Speaker 4>found a sort of greasing under this last batch of ricks.
<v Speaker 5>Good lord, let's see. Yes, yes, we found it. Watson,
<v Speaker 5>help me with these bricks there, Watson, bring the laddin right.
<v Speaker 4>There they are? Now, then let's see it's black down there,
<v Speaker 4>Isn't it? Correct me if I'm wrong, said George. We
<v Speaker 4>are now in a vapor room.
<v Speaker 5>The blocked up entrance over there leads to the hot
<v Speaker 5>bar that would put the cold plants on our left.
<v Speaker 3>No, but going in that direction, if we go down
<v Speaker 3>into the tunnel. We should turn right to get.
<v Speaker 5>Out, quite correct, mister Holmes, I go first, give me
<v Speaker 5>the Latin, Watson. It's flickering homes. It's gone out very well.
<v Speaker 5>Then we'll have to crawl our way out in the dark.
<v Speaker 3>I feels if I've been crawling like a snake for hours.
<v Speaker 3>Stop complaining. Wasn't at least were not sealed up in
<v Speaker 3>that book?
<v Speaker 2>Now?
<v Speaker 3>Maybe not?
<v Speaker 2>But I can't say this is any great improvement. Well,
<v Speaker 2>I don't ask to stand up right? If I could
<v Speaker 2>only get to my hands and knees for a moment.
<v Speaker 2>There's a shallow pull of water here, Johnny, because use
<v Speaker 2>a bath only.
<v Speaker 3>I just as soon not have ice water.
<v Speaker 4>You fade your breath. How are you getting along, Sir George?
<v Speaker 4>A minute? Now?
<v Speaker 3>What send the man over my hand? Probably a sewer rat. Delightful.
<v Speaker 3>Maybe we could take it home for the pt.
<v Speaker 4>Quite Watson. I think we've reached the end of the tunnel. Yes,
<v Speaker 4>it opens up.
<v Speaker 3>You mean I can finally get up off my stomachness,
<v Speaker 3>keep your hand, Oh, I think my back is permanently bent.
<v Speaker 4>Hello, there's some steps here, steps going up and the
<v Speaker 4>door at the top. It's open. The slit hum, there's
<v Speaker 4>a light. There must be another entrance ground level.
<v Speaker 7>Yes, follow me and be very quiet. Better have your
<v Speaker 7>barber handy, Watson. This may well be the most dangerous
<v Speaker 7>part of the entire adventure.
<v Speaker 4>Easy. Now, let's tell a look through the crack before
<v Speaker 4>we opened the door. It's a large, bare looking place. Way.
<v Speaker 4>What's all that machinery?
<v Speaker 7>Those are melting furnaces, presses, weighing apparatus, rolling machines, and
<v Speaker 7>on the far side of the acid and water baths
<v Speaker 7>in which Bainbridge was undown at the dround.
<v Speaker 4>In short, you see before you are very complete meant
<v Speaker 4>for the coining of counterfeit money. Mister Holmes, who's.
<v Speaker 9>That sinister looking man stepping out of the shadows there there?

<v Speaker 9>his head oscillates from slide side like a snake.
