<v Speaker 1>This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be
<v Speaker 1>transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
<v Speaker 1>through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
<v Speaker 2>Petree Wine brings you.
<v Speaker 1>Raffle, Lockbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of
<v Speaker 1>Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took time
<v Speaker 1>to bring you good wine, invites you to listen to
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with
<v Speaker 1>his good friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. And if
<v Speaker 1>you ask me, the best way to listen to that
<v Speaker 1>story is to do it with a glass of Port
<v Speaker 1>wine right handy Petrie California Port. No kidding that Petree
<v Speaker 1>Port is just swell for any time good friends get
<v Speaker 1>together to talk things over. You couldn't ask for a
<v Speaker 1>more delicious wine. Why just looking at the deep, rich
<v Speaker 1>red color that Petri Port tells you that here is
<v Speaker 1>a wine with a flavor that comes right from the
<v Speaker 1>heart of sunrise and grapes. If you haven't ever tried
<v Speaker 1>Petre report, why not get a bottle and have a
<v Speaker 1>glass after dinner tomorrow night. It's a perfect after dent wine,
<v Speaker 1>you know, and share that port with your family and
<v Speaker 1>your friends. Don't forget when you serve pat report, you
<v Speaker 1>can serve it proudly, because after all, the name Petrie
<v Speaker 1>is the proudest name and the history of American wines.
<v Speaker 1>And now let's keep our weekly appointment. Get in, Docty Watson, drop.
<v Speaker 2>It, sir, thank you.
<v Speaker 3>That's it. By the way, do you know what date
<v Speaker 3>it is?
<v Speaker 2>November fifth, isn't it?
<v Speaker 3>That's right? In England it's known as Guy Fox Day.
<v Speaker 2>Do you ever heard there's something to do with a
<v Speaker 2>gunpowder plot? Isn't it?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, mister about tell it is.
<v Speaker 4>And as Sherlock Holmes and I had a very unusual
<v Speaker 4>venture on the fifth of November many years ago, it
<v Speaker 4>seems appropriate that I should tell you about it tonight
<v Speaker 4>before I begin. I think it might help you to
<v Speaker 4>appreciate the true flavor of the story if I tell
<v Speaker 4>you a little about the origin and the.
<v Speaker 3>Customs of Guy Fox Day.
<v Speaker 4>It's well well, my boy, on November the fifth, sixteen
<v Speaker 4>hundred and five, exactly three hundred and forty years ago today,
<v Speaker 4>King James the First was about to attend the opening
<v Speaker 4>of Parliament when the plot was discovered.
<v Speaker 3>They blow up the House of Lords during the.
<v Speaker 1>Ceremony, and the chief conspirator was Guy Fawkes. I suppose
<v Speaker 1>yes he was.
<v Speaker 4>He was captured in the vault immediately below the House
<v Speaker 4>of Lords, a vault full of barrels of gunpowder.
<v Speaker 3>Of course, he and his fellow conspirators were.
<v Speaker 4>Executed, and ever since then, remember the fifth has been
<v Speaker 4>known as Guy Fox Day.
<v Speaker 2>Well, how's it celebrated.
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's a great time for the youngsters, mister Bartel.
<v Speaker 4>They blacked their faces, throng the streets, begging for pennies
<v Speaker 4>and build bonfires in which to burn effiges of Guy Fox.
<v Speaker 4>These effiges are life sized dummies, stuffed with straw and
<v Speaker 4>dressed in old clothes.
<v Speaker 3>The children paraded them in the streets, chanting rhymes.
<v Speaker 4>Well let me see, please to remember the fifth of November,
<v Speaker 4>Guy Fox. Guy hit him in the eye.
<v Speaker 2>The kids must have quite a time, sort of like Halloween.
<v Speaker 3>It's not I unlike it, my boy.
<v Speaker 4>Well, now that I've told you something about the customs
<v Speaker 4>of Guy Fox Day.
<v Speaker 3>I'll get on with my story. It began just before lunch.
<v Speaker 4>I remember November the fifth, eighteen hundred and ninety nine.
<v Speaker 4>The day was foggy and cold, and Holmes and I
<v Speaker 4>seated each side of a.
<v Speaker 3>Blazing fire in our Baker Street rooms.
<v Speaker 4>From outside, we could hear the sound of voices laughing
<v Speaker 4>and singing. Suddenly Homes rose and crossed the window, opened
<v Speaker 4>it and looked out. Then he turned to me and spoke,
<v Speaker 4>Sten having a great time Watchnante. Yes, course they're stilling
<v Speaker 4>worth a phillas to walk here this morning.
<v Speaker 2>Has it occurred to you watching that be guns out
<v Speaker 2>of plus offer very.
<v Speaker 4>Promising materials with the stickamitic mind? In what way, Homes?
<v Speaker 4>I say it's wanted it chill in here? Don't you
<v Speaker 4>think you might shut that window? Sorry, oh chap, As
<v Speaker 4>I was saying, the gunpowder plot offers very promising material
<v Speaker 4>to the speculative mind. I made something of a study
<v Speaker 4>of the historical records of the case. There's more than
<v Speaker 4>a little evidence to suggest that King James was never
<v Speaker 4>in any real danger, never in any danger.
<v Speaker 3>What makes you say that.
<v Speaker 4>Knowledge of the proposed dubt to this scheme came to
<v Speaker 4>life early that James Stuart, King of England, the possessor
<v Speaker 4>of a shrewd and diabolical mind, used the spectacular discovery
<v Speaker 4>of the plant to try and bolster his weight popularity,
<v Speaker 4>as well as to justify increased religious.
<v Speaker 3>Persecutions as the first I've heard of it, I.
<v Speaker 2>Day awful of it's true, just the same.
<v Speaker 4>I'm afraid James Stuart, King of England, was an unscrupulous tyrant.
<v Speaker 2>Come in. Oh, yes, missus Hudson, there.
<v Speaker 3>Was a gentleman to see you, mister Holmes. He said
<v Speaker 3>it was very important.
<v Speaker 2>He asked me to give you his car. Thank Missus Hudson. Oh,
<v Speaker 2>ask him to come up please, will you?
<v Speaker 4>Hi?
<v Speaker 2>Who is an home a gentleman with a remarkably fine
<v Speaker 2>sense of time? We discard yourself.
<v Speaker 3>Look, mister James Stewart, great Scott, that's.
<v Speaker 4>Extra any instance that he should arrive just as we're
<v Speaker 4>talking about James Stewart, King of England.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, mister James Stewart. How do you do? Mister Stuart.
<v Speaker 2>I'm mis Sheelck Holmes, and this is my colleague doctor.
<v Speaker 3>What how do you do?
<v Speaker 2>How Holmes?
<v Speaker 3>You've got to help me.
<v Speaker 4>I'm walking about model fear of my life. You've got
<v Speaker 4>to help me, mister Stewart.
<v Speaker 2>I suggest that you sit down. I'll do anything in
<v Speaker 2>my power to help you.
<v Speaker 4>But you must compose yourself first and tell me quietly
<v Speaker 4>what it is that's frightening you. Oh can I compose
<v Speaker 4>myself when I may be dead within a few hours?
<v Speaker 3>And no, I'm mister Stewart. I'm a doctor. I really
<v Speaker 3>think if I were to give you a sedative that
<v Speaker 3>you'd find out.
<v Speaker 5>Can you talk of senators? When?
<v Speaker 2>Doctor?
<v Speaker 3>All right? All right, not here, let me help you
<v Speaker 3>with the sofa. Here's Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>I'll give him some Digitalis the fellow with a bad
<v Speaker 4>heart like this shouldn't allarm so to get so excited?
<v Speaker 3>And now this, mister Stewart, what is it? It's digitaris
<v Speaker 3>very well? No better time?
<v Speaker 2>Yes, mister Holmes, Yes I do.
<v Speaker 3>Hey, you're right.
<v Speaker 4>I shouldn't get so excited. My heart can't stand it,
<v Speaker 4>you know, Watson?
<v Speaker 2>Is he well not to talk to you? Think?
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you're just excited over again.
<v Speaker 4>I'll be careful doctor. I'll take it quietly, mister Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>When you saw my car, just know did it strike
<v Speaker 4>any responsive court?
<v Speaker 2>Naturally?
<v Speaker 3>Sir?
<v Speaker 4>Who could fail to be intrigued when a James Stewart
<v Speaker 4>calls to see one on Guy Fowk's day. It isn't
<v Speaker 4>just coincidence that my name is James Stewart's. I've got
<v Speaker 4>royal blood in my veins. People know of it, and
<v Speaker 4>that's another reason they're out to kill me. They're jealous
<v Speaker 4>of my heritage. Every instinct I have a a royal one. No,
<v Speaker 4>you gentlemen know that falcon is a king sport. I'm
<v Speaker 4>a great His hobby is a breeding in the training.
<v Speaker 2>Of false to us, he's mister Stewart.
<v Speaker 4>Owing to the state of your health, I suggest that
<v Speaker 4>you be as economical as possible in your explanation. In fact,
<v Speaker 4>I think it might be better if I were to
<v Speaker 4>question you very well, mister Holmes. Now you say that
<v Speaker 4>your life is in danger. What evidence do you have
<v Speaker 4>to substantiate that claim. My cousin Guy Fault and they
<v Speaker 4>has threatened it. Now you see, mister Holmes, he and
<v Speaker 4>I are the only heirs to a wealthy uncle.
<v Speaker 5>His fortune will go to the surviving heir.
<v Speaker 2>If I were dead, Guy would inherit everything to mister Stewart.
<v Speaker 3>You should have applied to Scoffing here for protection.
<v Speaker 5>I did Dr Watson only a few days ago.
<v Speaker 4>I saw certain Inspector Strada I think his name.
<v Speaker 5>Was, and he laughed at my.
<v Speaker 2>Field and he laughed, did he? Well?
<v Speaker 4>Then, in that case, there may be something in your story, sir.
<v Speaker 4>You say that your cousin has threatened to kill you.
<v Speaker 4>Has he indicated the method he intends to employ?
<v Speaker 5>He has, and it's a devilish plot.
<v Speaker 4>Guy has a bit of a twisted sense of humor, gentleman,
<v Speaker 4>even when he's planning as dustily a thing as a murder.
<v Speaker 4>I am James Stewart. He is Guy faultinby which is
<v Speaker 4>near enough.
<v Speaker 2>The guy Fox.
<v Speaker 4>Today is the fifth of November, and he's planning to
<v Speaker 4>blow me up.
<v Speaker 3>Who come, Come comes? You can't expect us to believe
<v Speaker 3>them for this.
<v Speaker 4>Troupe He won me, and the celebrations that are going
<v Speaker 4>on in the streets of London to day would make
<v Speaker 4>a rare club for his activities. I must confess, mister Stuart,
<v Speaker 4>that I find your story most I'm convincing.
<v Speaker 2>All your evidence appears to depend on conversations held between
<v Speaker 2>you and this cousin of yours.
<v Speaker 4>You have no facts, sir, to substantiate your planes, but
<v Speaker 4>I have, then, please let us hear them. I'll live
<v Speaker 4>at twenty three Cavendish Square. A week ago the house
<v Speaker 4>next door to me was let to a new tenant.
<v Speaker 4>Almost immediately watman became.
<v Speaker 5>Very active there. They were digging in the sellers.
<v Speaker 4>Mister Holmes, I could hear the sounds of picks and
<v Speaker 4>shovels through.
<v Speaker 3>The walls the cells.
<v Speaker 4>That does sound significant, dune homes extremely Did you observe
<v Speaker 4>any other activities of the workman, Mister Stewart him, mister
<v Speaker 4>Rooms than have been delivering large packing cases to the
<v Speaker 4>basement during the last two days.
<v Speaker 5>And I know what send them to.
<v Speaker 3>It's going put of I.
<v Speaker 2>Tell you they're planning to blow me up today.
<v Speaker 3>A citizens Statistatius City. You mustn't excite yourself again.
<v Speaker 5>What shall I do, mister Holmes?
<v Speaker 4>I think say I put the better of you to
<v Speaker 4>rest here for a while and then go to a
<v Speaker 4>nearby hotel. I would suggest the shop spring and wait
<v Speaker 4>there until you care from us. And where are you
<v Speaker 4>gentlemen going, Watson and I, after Donning's suit disguise, is
<v Speaker 4>well visit the house of joining yours and Cappini just square.
<v Speaker 4>I think an examination of the seller there might prove
<v Speaker 4>much illuminating. This sposed to be the household right homes
<v Speaker 4>the empty packing cases is still by the foot of
<v Speaker 4>the basement.
<v Speaker 2>Stepson, Let's go on and explore.
<v Speaker 3>On my soul. I feel a little self consciousness in
<v Speaker 3>these clothes.
<v Speaker 4>No need too, my a champ. You look a most
<v Speaker 4>authentic inspector of pumbing. If anyone challenges us, you'd better
<v Speaker 4>let me do the talking, though, I think my accent
<v Speaker 4>might be a little more convincing. Sh listen, I can't
<v Speaker 4>hear anything exactly. Then we may reasonably assume that either
<v Speaker 4>the workmen are observing the guy fawks holiday or that
<v Speaker 4>their work is done a moment's tide this door, so
<v Speaker 4>I'm noted. Yes, this is too easy, Watson. We must
<v Speaker 4>be prepared for tramp. Come on, I've gotten out of
<v Speaker 4>all the handle of this. There's any trouble, don't use
<v Speaker 4>it until I tell you to remember we are supposed
<v Speaker 4>to be plumbing inspectors.
<v Speaker 3>Spitch black in here.
<v Speaker 2>I can't see a thing. Strike a match. If you
<v Speaker 2>can't find a gas jet.
<v Speaker 3>Strike a match, or the cellar may be full of
<v Speaker 3>drum paddle.
<v Speaker 2>Won't take the RISKO, chap.
<v Speaker 3>H here's a gesture. Do I like it? That's better?
<v Speaker 3>Now we can see a.
<v Speaker 4>Little uh huh. I think the workmen have completed their job.
<v Speaker 4>See that new wood forming a crude door in the
<v Speaker 4>corner over there? Where does it lead to? Just first doubt? Oh,
<v Speaker 4>also unlocked. Here's a miner's vantum waiting conveniently for us
<v Speaker 4>on this ledge. Oh this is ridiculously you see now,
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure it's a trap.
<v Speaker 2>I like the lattern.
<v Speaker 3>Grits. It's a tunnel.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it's a tunnel leading into mister Stewart's house next door.
<v Speaker 2>Let's explore it.
<v Speaker 4>Look comes, look at the barrels. That's a full of gunpowder. Undoubtedly,
<v Speaker 4>will it deserve the fuses as well? Yes, the complete
<v Speaker 4>equipment for another gunpowder plot.
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe my eyes. What a fantastic plan. But
<v Speaker 3>could the murder of a certain that Stuart would be
<v Speaker 3>killed in the explosion?
<v Speaker 4>I think that's usually answered, buttson, remember mister Stuart's bad heart,
<v Speaker 4>in his present state of apprehension, and exploding fire cracker
<v Speaker 4>would be enough to kill him.
<v Speaker 3>I suppose, Hello, what's this lying on the floor? Curious
<v Speaker 3>funny strip of silk was a little ring on the end.
<v Speaker 2>Let me see button. Uh huh, this seems to be familiar.
<v Speaker 3>White jove a bit to es.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, well, the last piece of evidence necessary to conturn
<v Speaker 4>the conclusion.
<v Speaker 3>I think the hands about the heads. I've got a revolver.
<v Speaker 4>Right chard governor behind doing no arm I remember watch them.
<v Speaker 2>I'll do the talking.
<v Speaker 3>Come on, hard to come.
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're a comical looking pair. What are you doing
<v Speaker 2>in there? At?
<v Speaker 4>Me and my mate got a message to come over
<v Speaker 4>here and seeing the plumbing mister plumbers? Eh, do you
<v Speaker 4>have any identify occasion? Yes, sir, here's my bad. We'll
<v Speaker 4>inspect us for the London County Council.
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's all right, my man.
<v Speaker 4>I saw the basement door open and eye and I
<v Speaker 4>thought burgers might be here. You're the owner of this house, sir, yes,
<v Speaker 4>but my agent littered recent and tans have.
<v Speaker 2>Been behaving rather queerly, untold, so I came around here.
<v Speaker 2>Don't see what was happening.
<v Speaker 4>If you're the owner, sir, perhaps you can't give me
<v Speaker 4>some facts for me records, film me records.
<v Speaker 2>You know what do you want to know?
<v Speaker 3>Well?
<v Speaker 4>Your name lisir fulken guy? Look Alfie alf old your nose?
<v Speaker 3>What did he say?
<v Speaker 2>Nothing? Say nothing? He's got bed he cups at ford.
<v Speaker 4>Him for months now, can't stop him, alfhie, here give
<v Speaker 4>me a pencil, will you?
<v Speaker 2>Thank you?
<v Speaker 4>Al now, sir, your name is Guy Falcamby. What's the
<v Speaker 4>name of the the tenant this apse is led to.
<v Speaker 4>There are three of them, you know the name? Then
<v Speaker 4>got to have them for me records, you see, Yes,
<v Speaker 4>the names of Winter rope Wood and Kane. I oh, yes,
<v Speaker 4>Winter rope Wood and Kines. That's right, Sir. Stan says
<v Speaker 4>that they might be a firm of solicitors.
<v Speaker 2>Doubt based.
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps they are.
<v Speaker 2>I haven't met him. Just one more questions, sir, and
<v Speaker 2>then I needn't bother you no more.
<v Speaker 4>Well, what is it my religion or my grandmother's maiden name?
<v Speaker 3>Say?
<v Speaker 2>Not being knight bad.
<v Speaker 4>I just wanted to lived in the house next door
<v Speaker 4>on that side. We've had a compact from there. Two
<v Speaker 4>rare pipes is bugged up. My cousin lives there. His
<v Speaker 4>name is James Stewart. Mister James Stewart. Eh, I'm a blind, sir.
<v Speaker 4>Me and me mate ve going next door and come on, Alfie,
<v Speaker 4>I'm not surprised this pipes I'm bugged up. As just
<v Speaker 4>a graphically put it. He's a great one for practical
<v Speaker 4>jokes about the house. As a matter of fact, he's
<v Speaker 4>planning one of them tonight.
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, that's no concern of yours. By the way,
<v Speaker 2>my man, what's your name?
<v Speaker 4>Nivitzer? Tom nivid Go Alphie. We've got work to do, homes.
<v Speaker 4>I wish you'd tell me what's going on. Well, we'd
<v Speaker 4>take this cab back to Bakers Street, get out of
<v Speaker 4>these clothes, and they have served their purpose. Now there's
<v Speaker 4>more serious work of foot. Well, I'm still confused about
<v Speaker 4>an interview with Guy Culkinby. Why did you say your
<v Speaker 4>name was Tom kntt more? A touch of vanity Hill
<v Speaker 4>follow vanefere?
<v Speaker 3>How do you mean?
<v Speaker 2>Well, consider the names in this case so far Watson.
<v Speaker 4>James Stewart says that he's been threatened by Guy falconby
<v Speaker 4>a name. As mister Stuart points out, not unlike Guy Fawkes.
<v Speaker 4>You'll call the names of the free tenants that mister
<v Speaker 4>Faulknley gave us a few minutes ago.
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Winter, Rodwood and Canes. But what's that got to
<v Speaker 3>do with it?
<v Speaker 2>A great deal? Maria Fellow.
<v Speaker 4>Thomas Winter, Ambo's Rokewood and Robert Kaynes were the free
<v Speaker 4>men executed with Guy Fox in the original gunpower plot
<v Speaker 4>in sixteen log.
<v Speaker 3>Where does Tom Nivetty the name of yourself put into
<v Speaker 3>the mixture?
<v Speaker 4>Thomas Knivitt was the Westminster magistrate who arrested the conspirators,
<v Speaker 4>since they would be murderer of such an academic knowledge
<v Speaker 4>of the original plot, I thought i'd let him know
<v Speaker 4>that he was up against.
<v Speaker 2>Him, opponent worthy of his Still, we'll hear the rest
<v Speaker 2>of doctor watson story in just a few seconds.
<v Speaker 1>Just about time for me to remind you that if
<v Speaker 1>you want a wine that you're to please the ladies,
<v Speaker 1>you can't miss with Petrie California muscatel. That's because Petrie
<v Speaker 1>muscatel is a golden wine with one of the most
<v Speaker 1>luscious flavors you ever tasted. Did you ever taste a
<v Speaker 1>big plump muscat grape that's ripened in the sun. If
<v Speaker 1>you had, then you know what to expect when you
<v Speaker 1>taste Petree muscatell. It's a wonderful wine, perfect after dinner
<v Speaker 1>and swell when company comes.
<v Speaker 2>Just remember that, won't you, Petrie muscatell.
<v Speaker 1>Well, doctor, you and mister Holmes were certainly having yourselves
<v Speaker 1>quite a guy foalks day.
<v Speaker 2>What happened when you got back to Baker Street.
<v Speaker 3>We changed out about disguises and be controlled in the clothes.
<v Speaker 3>I was still pretty much in the dark as usual,
<v Speaker 3>and I kept christening Holmes next to our next move,
<v Speaker 3>even in the streets of suppressed excitement. And it was
<v Speaker 3>obvious as he spoke to me that he was anxious
<v Speaker 3>to be all.
<v Speaker 2>What's there's so much work ahead of.
<v Speaker 3>Using up Dawley. I'm bless you as fast I can.
<v Speaker 3>What's our next move.
<v Speaker 2>To split off horses?
<v Speaker 4>Let's get hold of my band of the street echines,
<v Speaker 4>the bakest street of regulars. I'm going to surround mister
<v Speaker 4>Stewart's house in Cavendish Square, and they will be invaluable
<v Speaker 4>for that purpose.
<v Speaker 3>So what do you want me to do?
<v Speaker 4>Go to past the hotel and collect mister Stewart and
<v Speaker 4>return with him to his house and wait for there.
<v Speaker 4>I shall join you as soon as I've rounded up
<v Speaker 4>the irregulars. But I must warn you don't leave mister
<v Speaker 4>Stewart for a moment. Don't set him out your sight
<v Speaker 4>until you see me again. Cross I want Hermes. But two,
<v Speaker 4>I must say, idea of all that gunper in the
<v Speaker 4>cellar doesn't make me feel in it too person or
<v Speaker 4>chat fat in me. I wouldn't expose you to any
<v Speaker 4>danger if I could avoid it, and I assure you
<v Speaker 4>that I shall join you in, mister Stuart. But it's
<v Speaker 4>shortly you have your revolv yes, of course, good? And
<v Speaker 4>UH give mister Stuart this revolver. Will you tell him
<v Speaker 4>that I insist that he carries it. I fear that
<v Speaker 4>his own has probably been tempered with to your.
<v Speaker 3>Homes I'll see, here's it. This is a strange business.
<v Speaker 4>I must sir, that guy Falkener seemed such a decent
<v Speaker 4>sort of follow. Yes, he appeared to be a most
<v Speaker 4>amiable fellow, didn't he. This is indeed an unusual case, Watson.
<v Speaker 4>We're off against one of the most sinister and twisted
<v Speaker 4>antagonists that we've never met.
<v Speaker 2>Well, a chap.
<v Speaker 4>I'm leaving now on a joint soon, and don't forget
<v Speaker 4>stay close to mister Stuart, Stay very close to him,
<v Speaker 4>Dr Watson.
<v Speaker 5>I wish your friend were here, Hannah, and I.
<v Speaker 3>Don't get so excited. Mister Stewart, you'll be here in
<v Speaker 3>a moment. Now. You've still got the revolver that I
<v Speaker 3>gave you.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that's in my pocket.
<v Speaker 4>But what's the good of a revolver if there should
<v Speaker 4>be an explosion, answer me that if you can, and.
<v Speaker 3>You must have faith in mister Holm. Sir, he's arranging
<v Speaker 3>now to have his house of yours surrounded by his
<v Speaker 3>band of street urchins. They'll see that no one gets
<v Speaker 3>to the cellar next door to light diffuses.
<v Speaker 5>A bunch of children.
<v Speaker 2>How can they do anything.
<v Speaker 4>If you don't know the Baker street irregulars, mister Stuart,
<v Speaker 4>and it's a perfect day for them to operate as
<v Speaker 4>black faced boys begging for petus.
<v Speaker 3>They'd pass unnoticed anywhere.
<v Speaker 4>I hope you're right, but I have a premonition, doctor,
<v Speaker 4>there's going to be a tragedy.
<v Speaker 3>I know one.
<v Speaker 4>I'll take it easy, sir, your heart, you're in splended
<v Speaker 4>hands when Shelock Holmes is on the case.
<v Speaker 3>Here he is now, Holmes, I say, I'm glad to
<v Speaker 3>see you.
<v Speaker 4>You received your visitor, yet visit them. We've seen no
<v Speaker 4>one than beyond your let. I've just been questioning the
<v Speaker 4>boys surrounding this house. A few moments ago, some children
<v Speaker 4>pulled a small cart up to the back door. God
<v Speaker 4>continue a life sized dummy. My irregulars thought that it
<v Speaker 4>was a methody on its way to a bunfa.
<v Speaker 3>Why shouldn't it be home?
<v Speaker 2>I reason to believe that it's.
<v Speaker 4>Someone visiting you in disguise, mister Stuart, a visitor who
<v Speaker 4>is mounting the back stairs at this very moment.
<v Speaker 5>You've got to turn buy me homes.
<v Speaker 2>You've got to protect me, sir.
<v Speaker 3>And who will give that apple research to cut? A
<v Speaker 3>guy fox down? A doctor in his hand, and it's
<v Speaker 3>walking and also talking.
<v Speaker 2>I trust, keep away from me.
<v Speaker 3>I got above victorious. Say if you want to give
<v Speaker 3>me one, not take two. The better for me and
<v Speaker 3>the worse for you. It's guy falking. Keep away from me.
<v Speaker 3>You hear, better for me and the worse for you.
<v Speaker 3>All right? Then I've got a fire.
<v Speaker 2>That is, mister stupid of Bob that I've provided for
<v Speaker 2>you seems to be unloaded. How verty are what in fun?
<v Speaker 3>Is all this about?
<v Speaker 2>Just witnessing an attempted murder? What's murder? What are you
<v Speaker 2>talking about? This is a game, James and I had
<v Speaker 2>it arranged the whole thing. You may have thought it
<v Speaker 2>was a game, mister Parker me, but I assure.
<v Speaker 3>You that you're coming mister Watson alone. Take your friends
<v Speaker 3>off me. Put him on the server. I'll give him
<v Speaker 3>some digitarists.
<v Speaker 2>Look, I don't want to appear unnecessarily to stop it, but.
<v Speaker 3>Will someone tell me what this is all about?
<v Speaker 2>With pleasure?
<v Speaker 4>Mister Faucnby, your cousin had planned one of the most
<v Speaker 4>fantastic murder plots that I've ever encountered.
<v Speaker 2>He came to us with the story which would threatened
<v Speaker 2>his life.
<v Speaker 3>But that's ridiculous.
<v Speaker 4>Under a fond of him, of course it's ridiculous. The
<v Speaker 4>whole plot was ridiculous.
<v Speaker 2>He leased the house next.
<v Speaker 4>Door had a tunnel dug when gunpowder and fuses planted there,
<v Speaker 4>even under the name of the tenant, says Winter brokewood
<v Speaker 4>and canes to get the apparent plot a further authenticity.
<v Speaker 4>You mean my cousin was the real tenant, certainly he was. However,
<v Speaker 4>he was toumsy enough to drop that m piece of
<v Speaker 4>silk with the wire ring on the end that you
<v Speaker 4>found your cella Watson.
<v Speaker 3>So you call a jest. And what's a jess.
<v Speaker 4>It's a strap that goes round the falcon's legs which
<v Speaker 4>its leash is fastened. You will remember that mister Stuart
<v Speaker 4>informed us that falconray is his hobby, and if therefore
<v Speaker 4>indicated that he had been in the cellar and consequently
<v Speaker 4>must have known about the whole part.
<v Speaker 2>And all he was trying to do is to build
<v Speaker 2>up in our.
<v Speaker 4>Minds of belief that his cousin was trying to kill him, exactly,
<v Speaker 4>my dear fellow. And had we believed him, of course
<v Speaker 4>he could have shut you just now, mister Falconby in
<v Speaker 4>apparent self defense.
<v Speaker 2>God Lord, what a fantastic plant. I I still can't
<v Speaker 2>find this, mister Falknby. Why are you dressed as a
<v Speaker 2>guy Fawk's dummy? Well, it was James's idea.
<v Speaker 4>He said that he was going to dress up too,
<v Speaker 4>and if we were to go around the bondfast night
<v Speaker 4>and frighten people by by appearing as live dummies. But
<v Speaker 4>the last message you sent to me to come up here,
<v Speaker 4>that we'd play a practical joke on a couple of
<v Speaker 4>friends of his.
<v Speaker 2>And did he provide you with the costume that you're wearing. Yes,
<v Speaker 2>as a matter of fact, he did.
<v Speaker 4>If you searched the pockets for any weapons, no, But
<v Speaker 4>I will all right while you're doing that, I'll examine
<v Speaker 4>this dark lantern.
<v Speaker 2>How's your patient? Watson.
<v Speaker 3>I've given him some digitalis no, give him some friends.
<v Speaker 2>I can't find anything in the pockets.
<v Speaker 4>He's the answer, my friends. Look here inside the lanterns
<v Speaker 4>a dagger. Our cousin planted it there to substantiate the
<v Speaker 4>claim that you were trying to kill him. Had his
<v Speaker 4>plans worked, you would have been dead, mister porkinby before
<v Speaker 4>you could have told us the truth. Here, come back here,
<v Speaker 4>missus still he said, he's taking the habsack.
<v Speaker 3>Come on, what's not.
<v Speaker 5>Home?
<v Speaker 3>Homes well, oil out of the way, please blow me.
<v Speaker 2>He comes to dove here and I'm in chance.
<v Speaker 4>Excuse me please, I'm trying to find a friend of
<v Speaker 4>mine first and put home.
<v Speaker 3>Well, are you watch?
<v Speaker 2>Come I here?
<v Speaker 3>You call out of the way, please, I'm coming home.
<v Speaker 3>Tie you got away from in the car, got away
<v Speaker 3>from us. We will never find him.
<v Speaker 2>In this Smart twelve is a dangerous man. There's no
<v Speaker 2>knowing what he may do. Weather your regulars. There's Wiggins.
<v Speaker 3>Wiggins.
<v Speaker 2>You can see a man run out of that house.
<v Speaker 3>A few minutes ago.
<v Speaker 4>John brad Joy did hey, Charley, mom in there.
<v Speaker 3>It's your own all right, I said, Charley didn't do anything.
<v Speaker 3>Now he's got some savvy girl with you. Hello, mister
<v Speaker 3>Holmes and doctor Water.
<v Speaker 4>Did you see a man run through this crowd a
<v Speaker 4>few minutes ago, Torris man with a grain of starch, Yes.
<v Speaker 2>I did. One man came running out of the ouse
<v Speaker 2>over there.
<v Speaker 3>Here's the ouse.
<v Speaker 2>Wig go. He runs down toward toward the sharp tre
<v Speaker 2>he he shut up, he did so what we are
<v Speaker 2>going to burn on a pond fire?
<v Speaker 3>I tried to stop, but he got a play home.
<v Speaker 3>Don't looked up down the roof. There's a figure like
<v Speaker 3>Joe's Jack shut that's the man.
<v Speaker 2>He's the one a store off dummy.
<v Speaker 3>He's standing up on the road.
<v Speaker 4>He's going to jump.
<v Speaker 3>If he does, he's throwing the line of a pawn fire.
<v Speaker 3>Then he goes. He is jumping right into the middle
<v Speaker 3>of the park.
<v Speaker 4>He'll be there yet. Don't bunny the gangs. That was
<v Speaker 4>no man who fell into the back pile. What do
<v Speaker 4>you mean from the girations with the pick up a pond?
<v Speaker 4>I said, kill my dear Watson. I'm convinced that mister
<v Speaker 4>Stuart threw the stolen dummy to try and put us
<v Speaker 4>off the track. And then Stuart's still up there. He
<v Speaker 4>is watching Come on, old boy, he's up on the
<v Speaker 4>rooftops for us. Up on the roof tops, you, Watson,
<v Speaker 4>Let me help you out?
<v Speaker 2>Can you reach my hand?
<v Speaker 3>I got it all right? Then up you come. Come on.
<v Speaker 3>It seems to me that fire escapes must be designed
<v Speaker 3>for chance.
<v Speaker 2>Keep your eye skinned, old Fellow's st A dangerous man
<v Speaker 2>might be hiding behind those timnistacks.
<v Speaker 3>Come on, pull my soul. This is a strange place
<v Speaker 3>to be on guy Fox Night.
<v Speaker 2>Yes, a comprehensive case. Watson starts in a cellar and
<v Speaker 2>ends on the rooftop.
<v Speaker 3>Look homes by the power of it.
<v Speaker 2>A crumpled body of mister Stewart.
<v Speaker 3>Looks to me as if it Yes, he's dead, Holmes.
<v Speaker 4>Well, it's not surprising. The habit of carrying down me
<v Speaker 4>up here and throwing it, combined with his own state
<v Speaker 4>of excitement for too much for him.
<v Speaker 3>Oh thank you.
<v Speaker 2>I can't say that. I'm sorry.
<v Speaker 3>No, he planned the murder. Haven't been for you? E
<v Speaker 3>would have succeeded an extraordinary kiss Homes, Yes, it's happened.
<v Speaker 2>One that should run. Make us remember the fifth November.
<v Speaker 4>Yes, please to remember the fifth November gunpowder treason and
<v Speaker 4>plus I see no reason why gunpowder treason.
<v Speaker 2>Forever produ Well, doctor, as you boys would say, that
<v Speaker 2>story was a bit of exciting.
<v Speaker 3>What yes, even though I sort of lose my breath
<v Speaker 3>when I remember climbing that forest.
<v Speaker 1>You know, doctor, those two fellas certainly went out of
<v Speaker 1>their way to celebrate Guy Fox day. Now take me
<v Speaker 1>when I got a little celebrating the doe. I like
<v Speaker 1>to do it quietly, some friends, A glass of port
<v Speaker 1>pet reports.
<v Speaker 3>What else leave to you?
<v Speaker 4>No matter what de occasion is, you can somehow make
<v Speaker 4>it the perfect occasion for Petry wine.
<v Speaker 3>How do you do it?
<v Speaker 2>Who to ask me? How I do it?
<v Speaker 1>You mean, how to do the Petrie family do it?
<v Speaker 1>How can they make that swell wine? Well, the answer
<v Speaker 1>is experience. The Petrie family has been making fine wine
<v Speaker 1>for generations, and ever since they first established the Petree
<v Speaker 1>business way back in the eighteen hundreds, they've handed on
<v Speaker 1>down from father to son, from father to son, the
<v Speaker 1>fine art of turning luscious sun ripe and California grapes
<v Speaker 1>into fragrant, delicious wine. That's why when you want a
<v Speaker 1>wine for any occasion before dinner with your meals are
<v Speaker 1>after dinner, you can't go wrong with a Petree wine
<v Speaker 1>because Petree took time to bring you good wine. And now,
<v Speaker 1>doctor Watson, what's your Lock Holme's adventure you're going to
<v Speaker 1>tell us next week?
<v Speaker 4>Old favorite was about to tell a story that concerns
<v Speaker 4>strange music that was heard in a lonely house in
<v Speaker 4>the English countryside of the Living Death that stopped there.
<v Speaker 3>I call it the Adventure of a Speckled Bird.
