<v Speaker 1>Pet Tree Wine brings you. <v Speaker 2>Basil Rothbone and Nigel. <v Speaker 3>Brooks and the new adventures of Sherlock Holme. <v Speaker 4>The Petrie family, the family that took time to bring <v Speaker 4>you good wine, invites you to listen to doctor Watson <v Speaker 4>tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, <v Speaker 4>that master detective Sherlock Home. And right now, I'd like <v Speaker 4>to just briefly mention an idea you autify tomorrow night, <v Speaker 4>just before you sit down to dinner, just for yourself. <v Speaker 5>A glass of. <v Speaker 4>That good pet Tree California Sherrif Petrie Shechffy is the <v Speaker 4>perfect before dinner wine. It's cheerful, glowing amber color, looks <v Speaker 4>festive and this sort of lends an air of importance <v Speaker 4>to the accase. <v Speaker 5>And as for the. <v Speaker 4>Wine itself, just taste it at Petrie sherry, not just <v Speaker 4>ordinary wine, no sir one sip and you know that <v Speaker 4>wonderful sun ripened grapes went into its making, yes, and <v Speaker 4>you know that Petrie Sherry was carefully watched over every <v Speaker 4>step of the way. Incidentally, Petrie makes two kinds of <v Speaker 4>Sherrif regular sherry and Petree Pale dry. If you're not <v Speaker 4>sure just which kind you and your friends will like <v Speaker 4>best try them both. <v Speaker 1>Don't buy one, buy two. <v Speaker 4>But when it comes to sherry or any other wine <v Speaker 4>for that matter, be sure you always buy Petrick. And <v Speaker 4>now I'm certain our good friend doctor Watson's waiting for us. <v Speaker 4>Let's go and enjoy it. <v Speaker 3>You are, it's about too until two minutes as. <v Speaker 4>Always, Well, this is one doctor's appointment I'm eager to keep. <v Speaker 6>I should say so, my boss, drow up the usual turn, <v Speaker 6>make yourself comfortable. <v Speaker 5>Thanks well, doctor, today's. <v Speaker 2>April the first? <v Speaker 4>Did anyone try and play any jolts on it? <v Speaker 3>But I'm happy to say that nobody not. As in <v Speaker 3>the story that. <v Speaker 6>I'm going to tell you tonight, But in April Fool's <v Speaker 6>dead prank certainness called the bullseye. <v Speaker 4>I see you have the dispatch box out again, doctor, <v Speaker 4>then refreshing your memory, Yes, I tell him. <v Speaker 6>When I tell you the adventure took eighteen hundred and <v Speaker 6>eighty one, I think you will agree. <v Speaker 3>That after such a lapse of time, a man can <v Speaker 3>hardly rely on memory alone. <v Speaker 4>Eighteen eighty one, And I said it must have been <v Speaker 4>one of the really early it was. <v Speaker 6>Indeed, in fact, the exact it took place only a <v Speaker 6>little while after Sherlock Holmes. <v Speaker 3>And I had first met and had taken up lodging <v Speaker 3>for Giller. <v Speaker 4>How was the great detective in use earlier found mistress? <v Speaker 3>Me give you an example, my boy, I've shared the bigest. <v Speaker 6>Sweet lodgings with him for over a month before I <v Speaker 6>was even certain of his profession, the knowledge of which <v Speaker 6>I learned from my awe and astonishment. <v Speaker 3>But our first adventure together took place. <v Speaker 4>That was the one you call the study in scar <v Speaker 4>wasn't it? <v Speaker 3>After memory? <v Speaker 6>But even after that adventure, I found myself wondering at <v Speaker 6>times what I let myself in for sharing lodgings with <v Speaker 6>a strange companion. Because in one of those moods of <v Speaker 6>doubt and confusion that my story begins. Late one March evening, <v Speaker 6>I found myself the neighborhood have figured in the circus. <v Speaker 6>It was cold and the steady drizzle of rain had <v Speaker 6>dampened my spirits. <v Speaker 3>I took the glass of wine. <v Speaker 6>And the sound of music would put me in a <v Speaker 6>better mood and confirm with the bottle, I entered the <v Speaker 6>Criterion restaurant. <v Speaker 3>As I sat with a glass of. <v Speaker 6>Rare vintage poke at my elbow, the Orchester playing a <v Speaker 6>dreamstars waltz in the background. <v Speaker 3>I couldn't help thinking of the last time that i'd <v Speaker 3>been there. <v Speaker 6>It was a night time met a young medical student <v Speaker 6>by the name of Stamford. He was the man who <v Speaker 6>first introduced it through Sherlock Home. Suddenly I put a <v Speaker 6>tap on my shoulder. I turned, and to my amazement, <v Speaker 6>once again, the young Stamford was turning before. <v Speaker 1>Or should I say, doctor Watson, how are you my <v Speaker 1>dead chef? <v Speaker 3>Hello, Stamford comes to dark. <v Speaker 2>Thanks. <v Speaker 1>I'm goad to see that you're not holding any grudge <v Speaker 1>against me. <v Speaker 3>Why else would I do that? <v Speaker 5>For introducing yidish. <v Speaker 1>Clark Holmes, I've reproached myself ever since. I think he's <v Speaker 1>as mad as a. <v Speaker 3>Heap centric in fact, elims that he is eccentric. But <v Speaker 3>he's an extremely interesting fuller. He'll make a big diff <v Speaker 3>for himself as a private detector. One of these days <v Speaker 3>you'll see if I'm not right stuff. <v Speaker 1>I saw something about him in the paper the other day, <v Speaker 1>The Last and. <v Speaker 3>Gardens of Yes, Yes, it was quite brilliant. <v Speaker 6>I must for the times with like a fiend as <v Speaker 6>a rule, in case the ex sets in the days <v Speaker 6>of the time rely on our sofa, Harget, I think <v Speaker 6>a word on moving a muscle from morning to night. <v Speaker 1>I think he takes himself too seriously. That's how would <v Speaker 1>you like to join in. <v Speaker 3>A little plot pot against home? <v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, just the rag. You know we thought it'd <v Speaker 1>be rather fun. We Thursday and night. We were just <v Speaker 1>talking about it. I'll call him over thirdy. <v Speaker 7>Maybe i've seen him before something I'm sure you must <v Speaker 7>have done. <v Speaker 1>He's been around at the hospital, and anytime you go <v Speaker 1>in the British Museum you'll find him there. Nice fellow, <v Speaker 1>but don't de doe. <v Speaker 5>Yes, Stamford. <v Speaker 1>Oh, this is a friend of mine, John Watson. This <v Speaker 1>is James Murphy. <v Speaker 3>How do I think? Don't see you at the hospital? <v Speaker 8>And I know I've seen you, doctor wats Oh, sit <v Speaker 8>down and come and join us. <v Speaker 5>Thank you man. <v Speaker 1>I was just telling Watson about our little plot. <v Speaker 6>Oh you mean about look here, I'd like you for <v Speaker 6>us to realize that Holmes is a very good friend <v Speaker 6>of mine. <v Speaker 8>Oh, don't worry, Watson, this is all in good fun. <v Speaker 5>Don't you realize what the date is? Tomorrow? <v Speaker 3>First three April kids, April Fool's Day. Oh no, I <v Speaker 3>see you're going to play an April Fool's Day joke <v Speaker 3>on on home. Yes, that's our plans. <v Speaker 7>Well it's hardly our plans, camp, but it's very lady <v Speaker 7>Anne Parkinton's idea. You see, Holmes is very rude to <v Speaker 7>her when she visited the hospital recently and she wants to, <v Speaker 7>you know, take him down a peg. <v Speaker 3>And this is enough. But I must say he isn't <v Speaker 3>planned to be rather elegant to time. Well, what's what's <v Speaker 3>the plan? <v Speaker 8>We'll need your health, what's you must be careful not <v Speaker 8>to get the joke away. <v Speaker 7>I'll bet you a fiver that Holmes falls for the <v Speaker 7>whole story, Black and Sinker. <v Speaker 5>Now here's exactly what we're planning to do. <v Speaker 8>Lady Anne is going to call on. <v Speaker 5>Homes at fat to speak of the boys to see <v Speaker 5>me in my professional capacity. <v Speaker 9>Surely, my dear man, you didn't exist was a social call. <v Speaker 9>That's too rude to me at the hospital the other day. <v Speaker 2>For that that was the point I was trying to make. <v Speaker 3>This need to take this churmant ready follow the most <v Speaker 3>comfortable room. <v Speaker 9>Thank you, doctor Watts. <v Speaker 2>And now what can I do to help you? <v Speaker 9>You've heard of the Elfinstone Emerald? <v Speaker 2>Oh, yes, yes, indeed a magnificent stone, a very considerable value, <v Speaker 2>an heirloom in your family. I believe, yes, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 9>I keep it in a wall safe in my bedroom. <v Speaker 9>This morning, when I had occasion to go to the safe, <v Speaker 9>I discovered that the emerald had been. <v Speaker 3>Stolen Scott shocking business. Of course, you want us to <v Speaker 3>Homes to recover it. <v Speaker 2>Oil and remarkable deduction, I did, sir, Lydianne, are any <v Speaker 2>work in the safe? Do you observe any signs of <v Speaker 2>it having been tampered with? <v Speaker 9>I think it's rather stupid to shit and answer questions <v Speaker 9>here in Baker Street. Why don't you come up to <v Speaker 9>my house in Caveny Square and examine the safe for yourself. <v Speaker 2>You are a detective, aren't you? Just now? You accuse <v Speaker 2>me of rudeness. I assure you that mine, at least <v Speaker 2>was unintentional. <v Speaker 3>Come, come, come home. <v Speaker 9>I can promise you a substantial. <v Speaker 3>Fame after Homes. <v Speaker 2>I'm a struggling practitioner and a new Professionally, my poverty, <v Speaker 2>but not my will concerns. <v Speaker 9>I pay thy poverty and not thy will you see <v Speaker 9>I can throw it my Shakespeare at Tom, mister Holmes, <v Speaker 9>my carriage is waiting to gentlemen, let's drive over the <v Speaker 9>Cabindy square at once shall This is the wall safe. <v Speaker 2>Mister, home difficult and safety track for an expert. You <v Speaker 2>paid the emerald in it last night, you say. <v Speaker 9>Yes, when I went to bed, and this morning it <v Speaker 9>had gone at homes. <v Speaker 6>This is a good occasion to use that magnifying glass <v Speaker 6>that you're always fit about. <v Speaker 2>Instant occasion, my dear doctor. That's why I brought it <v Speaker 2>with me. Mm hmm. That's very interesting. <v Speaker 6>What is this safe? <v Speaker 2>Was opened by an experts? The sign if it's having <v Speaker 2>been forced? <v Speaker 5>Hello, what a bit of st there's. <v Speaker 2>A peculiar tarnish hom steel knob. It was obviously handled <v Speaker 2>by someone whose fingers are habitually stained with chemical. Amazing home, <v Speaker 2>I mention, my dear doctor, what does that dolly do? <v Speaker 3>My good one. <v Speaker 2>I should like to examine it if I may. <v Speaker 5>But of course. <v Speaker 9>What this is the most beautiful April fools apro and <v Speaker 9>I've ever played. <v Speaker 5>Right? <v Speaker 6>He has food and thinker that's the same. I'm beginning <v Speaker 6>to feel guilty. I can't help feeling a bit disloyal. <v Speaker 3>If it's all in fun, temper and mister Murphy listening. <v Speaker 9>Yes, the next door in my drawing room. I'm sure <v Speaker 9>their ears are positively glued to the keyhole. <v Speaker 3>Her homes of a comes there. <v Speaker 2>The windows haven't been tampered with. We may presume, therefore, <v Speaker 2>that the thief did not enter by an upstairs window. <v Speaker 2>Lydia Anne, Yes, this room is not being touched since <v Speaker 2>you discovered your loss. <v Speaker 9>Oh no, I told the servants to leave it exactly <v Speaker 9>as it was. Well, I can't set. <v Speaker 2>You blendy figure that. Uh, the thief was a tall <v Speaker 2>man with. <v Speaker 3>A long stride. Come, come, come, homes. <v Speaker 6>I know your methods, but there aren't Dennis footprints on <v Speaker 6>this carpet that that you can identify, even with your magnifying. <v Speaker 2>I've studied many kinds, and I've never seen one yet <v Speaker 2>that was committed by a flying creature. As long as <v Speaker 2>the criminal remains on its two legs, there must be <v Speaker 2>some some typing displacement can be detected by a keen observer. <v Speaker 2>I assure you that the match on this carpet indicate <v Speaker 2>that the thief firm was a tall man with a <v Speaker 2>long stride. <v Speaker 3>Mm hmm. <v Speaker 2>This is a protagoash five tobacco dag tobacco that cells <v Speaker 2>that opens the mount. <v Speaker 9>Now, really, mister Holmes, how can you possibly identify an <v Speaker 9>individual tobacco. <v Speaker 2>Oh, it's poppied mine intactus even written a monograph on <v Speaker 2>the subject. Now one more look at the face? Hello, <v Speaker 2>what's this part of you? But it was it trace <v Speaker 2>of Robin lydy Anne. I suggest you get in touch <v Speaker 2>with Scott and jab at once. You mean that you've <v Speaker 2>solved at home, I mean, not your doctor. But I <v Speaker 2>can give you a reasonably complete picture of the thief. <v Speaker 2>And that picture is so individual that I'd be surprised <v Speaker 2>if it would fit more than one man in London. <v Speaker 9>Right, this is pure magic, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 3>Please describe him to it. <v Speaker 2>Well, he's a tall man, the wit, this pride indicates that. <v Speaker 3>And he's then what enables you to tell that. <v Speaker 2>His footprints have made a remarkably like indentation on the <v Speaker 2>nap of the carpet. Thief devils extensively in chemicals, as <v Speaker 2>indicated by the tarnishing of the knob on the safe, <v Speaker 2>and the faces of rosin would suggest that he plays <v Speaker 2>the violin. Also the smokeshag Tobacco has a great practical <v Speaker 2>knowledge the ways of combination, locks, and he's obviously in <v Speaker 2>close contact with the criminal classes. How do you know that, mister, Well, <v Speaker 2>he wouldn't see the famous Sternalis. You have to dispose <v Speaker 2>of it through some trustworthy sense. <v Speaker 6>Yes, it's a very comprehensive picture, Homes. I almost feel <v Speaker 6>about you the. <v Speaker 2>Thank you, doctor. I'm sure there's only one man in <v Speaker 2>London and it shouldn't be hard to trace him. <v Speaker 5>I agree entirely, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 9>Doc to Watson, I think the joke has gone far enough. <v Speaker 2>Joke, what do you mean just to talk quite right? <v Speaker 3>Homes and thinking there's only one such man in. <v Speaker 6>London, You've just given a perfect description of yourself. <v Speaker 9>April, fool, doctor Temford, mister Murphy. <v Speaker 10>April, come along here into the drawing room. <v Speaker 9>Everyone, let us drink a glass of wine. Mister Holmes, <v Speaker 9>who were so graciously forgiveness that the little trick we <v Speaker 9>played on him, And also to doctor Stemford thought of the. <v Speaker 3>Whole idea, no hard feelings with Homes, no doctor. <v Speaker 2>It was a rather and doubting experience. <v Speaker 3>And Murphy told me about the plan. I just couldn't <v Speaker 3>resist joining him. <v Speaker 1>Oh, here you are, Holmes, here's a drink. <v Speaker 2>Thank you, dampan You know, Murphy, do you No? I <v Speaker 2>don't think. <v Speaker 5>How'd you do? How did you like the little game <v Speaker 5>we played on you? <v Speaker 2>It was rather a salutary experience. I suppose you gave <v Speaker 2>them all the details to build up the picture of me. <v Speaker 6>Hey, Dotr, I did Holmes annoying some of your methods. <v Speaker 6>You tried to plant every clue that you. <v Speaker 2>Would pick up A very neat job to an incidentally <v Speaker 2>perfect example of the dangers of deductions based on purely <v Speaker 2>circumstances evidence. I shall profit from this little lesson. <v Speaker 4>I must say it was worth a fortunate Emeralds to <v Speaker 4>see your face homes when you realize you're done well. <v Speaker 3>A jokes over now, by the way, where is lady Anne? <v Speaker 7>I believe she said she was going to fetch the <v Speaker 7>offinstone emerald. She thought you might be interested in seeing it. <v Speaker 2>It probably feels the sign that yourself I wounded. <v Speaker 5>Back to you. <v Speaker 1>Oh here she comes? Now home? <v Speaker 2>What's happened lady the emerald? <v Speaker 1>It's not where I hit it this time. <v Speaker 9>It's really stolen. <v Speaker 4>Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a few seconds, <v Speaker 4>so I've just time to remind you that there are many, <v Speaker 4>many different types of wine. But if you want one <v Speaker 4>wine that's fine for almost any occasion, then you want <v Speaker 4>Petrie California's sherry. Petrie sherry is fine before dinner, of course, <v Speaker 4>but Petrie sherry is good after dinner too, and it's <v Speaker 4>the perfect wine for cocktail time or anytime friends drop in. <v Speaker 4>Everybody will love the real heart of the great flavor <v Speaker 4>you get in every sip of Petrie sherry. And you <v Speaker 4>can serve Petrie Sherry. <v Speaker 1>Proudly because those letters P E. <v Speaker 4>T R I spell the proudest name in the history <v Speaker 4>of American wine, Petree Wine. Doctor Watson, your April full <v Speaker 4>Day plot kind of backfired on you, didn't, It's. <v Speaker 6>About to tell it was the perfect example of the <v Speaker 6>fit bit. <v Speaker 4>What happened next? I suppose Sherlock Holmes went into action <v Speaker 4>once again. <v Speaker 3>It's about all. It tadened my heart to see the <v Speaker 3>change in the. <v Speaker 6>Poor I confess I've felt rather ashamed of my part <v Speaker 6>in the prank, for I could see that Holmes his <v Speaker 6>pride had been hurt, but now with a definite crime <v Speaker 6>before him, the difference was amazing. He suddenly became a dynamo, <v Speaker 6>galvanized in action. <v Speaker 3>As he stood there parting question. <v Speaker 4>It was like yourself, you were this fresh hiding place. <v Speaker 4>Both Mercy and I did yes. <v Speaker 7>After we left our deliberate clues on the safe, we <v Speaker 7>went with Lady Anne and saw us to creak the <v Speaker 7>emerald and the top drive her dressing table. <v Speaker 9>We thought it would be all right there. After all, <v Speaker 9>as soon as the joke was over, I was going <v Speaker 9>to put it back in the stage. <v Speaker 2>I think I might just plan before we questioned the servants, <v Speaker 2>would be for each one of you who were in <v Speaker 2>this April funesday Frank to submit to being searched. <v Speaker 4>Tone, surely you don't suggest that any one of us <v Speaker 4>took the emeralds tip and I don't. <v Speaker 2>But if any one of you fall are not guilty, <v Speaker 2>this will be a splendid way of proving your innocence. <v Speaker 6>I say, steady at homes to not suggesting Lady Anne <v Speaker 6>stolen emeralds. <v Speaker 2>Ah, mister, I'm suggesting nothing. That I may point out <v Speaker 2>that the recent vogue for the insurance companies, it's provided <v Speaker 2>another interesting motive for these so poor I resent your insinuation. <v Speaker 2>It's out right, Lady Anne. If I'm to recover your emerald, <v Speaker 2>I must please consider every divisibility. The search is the <v Speaker 2>most immediate practical action. Perhaps you'll retire into the next room, <v Speaker 2>and I persuade these gentlemen to submit to being searched. <v Speaker 9>Very well, but I think you're in danger of making <v Speaker 9>a fool of yourself. <v Speaker 6>One. <v Speaker 5>Oh wait, don't don't go, lady Anne. Search won't be necessary. <v Speaker 7>What do you mean, Murpha, I must throw myself on <v Speaker 7>your mercy, Lady Anne. I confess that I stole the <v Speaker 7>Emerald Mercy after you put it in the drawer, lady, <v Speaker 7>and I slipped back into the room and took it out. <v Speaker 3>Murphy. That's a criminal action. <v Speaker 5>I know it, but I'm poor. <v Speaker 8>I need money desperately for my mathematical research. <v Speaker 5>I knew the Emeralds prices. I couldn't resist the temptation <v Speaker 5>to take. <v Speaker 7>Advantage of a joke. Yeah, lady Anne, here's the stone. <v Speaker 7>Please don't prosecute me. Please, don't it been my ruin? <v Speaker 2>May I exact in the emerald en? Thank you? <v Speaker 9>Well, mister Murphy. I won't pretend that I'm not deeply shocked. <v Speaker 9>I must ask you to leave my house. <v Speaker 8>But you won't prosecute me, will you. It was a <v Speaker 8>moment's temptation. <v Speaker 9>Noah, No, I won't prosecute you home. <v Speaker 3>What are you doing with the emerald? <v Speaker 2>Well, I'm something of the distant ways of thieves. I <v Speaker 2>came on this case, but it prepared to test the <v Speaker 2>emerald when I found it. Now a top of this <v Speaker 2>acid from this vial. <v Speaker 9>So, mister Holmes, what are you doing? You into the step? <v Speaker 2>Noah, not, it's a true emerald? <v Speaker 3>Ah, good lord, the ascidating to the stoness. <v Speaker 2>If it was shugar, that means it means, lady, and <v Speaker 2>that mister Murphy has just impeddaled his honor, his freedom <v Speaker 2>to steal a singularly beautiful fake. <v Speaker 9>Mister Holmes, this joke turned into a nightmare. Is there <v Speaker 9>a way of covering my emeralds? <v Speaker 2>I hope so, Lady Anne, I've been taking steps in <v Speaker 2>their logical order. The servants have all been questioned. We've <v Speaker 2>searched mister Stamford. <v Speaker 7>And mister Murphy's most humiliating experience made me feel like <v Speaker 7>a criminal. <v Speaker 5>For personally, I was only too thankful to submit to <v Speaker 5>a search. This time. I knew I had nothing to <v Speaker 5>worry about. <v Speaker 3>You yourself, Dadia. I knew you've considered to being searched <v Speaker 3>by the police. Maktron that Home sent forth only. <v Speaker 9>Because he threatened to set for the police if I didn't. <v Speaker 9>Oh distasteful though it was, I'd rather endure that than <v Speaker 9>have this story on the front. <v Speaker 2>Pages of the newspapers. <v Speaker 1>And in spite of all these rather unfriendly proceedings, we've <v Speaker 1>got exactly nowhere as regards finding the Emeralds. <v Speaker 2>No Stamford. But we have at least eliminated the possibility <v Speaker 2>that the thief is secreting the jewel on his person. <v Speaker 3>Still somewhere in these two rooms stay. <v Speaker 2>Home, I think so. Though there is one remaining possibility, <v Speaker 2>and that is that the fake stone was substituted for <v Speaker 2>the real emerald sometime before all of you engineered your <v Speaker 2>April fools their joke. <v Speaker 9>Oh no, mister Hee, that's not possible. I know it <v Speaker 9>was the genuine Emerald. I took of the safe this morning. <v Speaker 2>How can you be sure the substitute was an excellent <v Speaker 2>imitation about a chemical test such as I performed, It <v Speaker 2>would be hard to be certain. <v Speaker 9>I can tell you why I'm certain. Last night Papa <v Speaker 9>came to dinner and brought a mister Vanderlder of Amsterdam. <v Speaker 9>He examined the stone, and you'll agree that a dual <v Speaker 9>expert like that couldn't be fool. <v Speaker 2>That's true, Lady Anne. And what did you do with <v Speaker 2>the emerald after mister vander Lder left? <v Speaker 9>I locked it in my safe and went to bed. <v Speaker 9>I didn't unlock the safe again until doctor Stamford and <v Speaker 9>mister Murphy came here this morning. <v Speaker 3>That's settled. The real emerald is still hidden somewhere in <v Speaker 3>these two rooms. <v Speaker 1>But where that's the question. <v Speaker 8>I must say, it's completely mystifying. <v Speaker 2>Well, let's go back to what we were all doing <v Speaker 2>at the exact moment you came into the room, Lady <v Speaker 2>Anne and informed us at the loss of your stone. <v Speaker 2>Now we were we would drinking toast to you, and <v Speaker 2>it uh, Lady Anne hard thinking is well, it's thirsty work. <v Speaker 9>I'm so sorry. Let me get you something a glass <v Speaker 9>of court No, no. <v Speaker 2>Thank you, but iya, I observe that you have a <v Speaker 2>remarkably comprehensive assortment of the curves. I wonder if I <v Speaker 2>might have a glass of cream demond. <v Speaker 3>Oh, of course, I'll get it for it. Cream them <v Speaker 3>all from the middle of down home. <v Speaker 1>I knew you were eccentric, that is. <v Speaker 9>It's awful it clings. <v Speaker 2>As I picked it up. I thought it Dane, there's <v Speaker 2>something inside. Allow me, Madam, thank you. I'm sure you <v Speaker 2>would mind if they wastelessly cur on the aspidestra so <v Speaker 2>dy Anne, allow me to restore to you the Elphinston <v Speaker 2>Emerald Scott, a fantastic ingineers the one safe hiding place <v Speaker 2>in the room. Where could a green gem be more <v Speaker 2>effectively hidden than in a bottle of green? The curved? <v Speaker 5>Who stole it? <v Speaker 3>Who substituted the fake stone? <v Speaker 9>Frankly, I don't care. <v Speaker 3>The gem is restored. <v Speaker 9>That that's all that matters. <v Speaker 2>I prefer not to go to court. <v Speaker 9>Neither you nor i, Mister Schola Colmbs would show up <v Speaker 9>in a best of light, and my father will disapprove <v Speaker 9>of this whole. Austair, I'm afraid just. <v Speaker 2>As you wish they did. <v Speaker 6>Am. <v Speaker 2>In either case, I should expect your check for my <v Speaker 2>services in due course. <v Speaker 3>Here we are to cut here and again Stamford. <v Speaker 1>But you come in and join us for lunch, please, watching, <v Speaker 1>but I'll keep the cabin go on. I actually have <v Speaker 1>patient this afternoon. A rare and delightful experience for a <v Speaker 1>young doctor. <v Speaker 3>You've probably known as rare and delightful. <v Speaker 2>As I plan is for a young detector based down there, <v Speaker 2>I quite understand, and I'm correspondingly grateful to you. <v Speaker 1>If you're you're profitable, so I'm glad it was profitable <v Speaker 1>for you. Personally, I feel pretty stupid about the whole thing. <v Speaker 2>Well, goodbye, goodbye or goodbye to. <v Speaker 3>Night Onst Square can be remarkably quick. <v Speaker 7>I'm afraid my conscience won't let me too much talking doctor, <v Speaker 7>I'm hardly ashamed of myself. <v Speaker 5>Well, thanks for leftoff. <v Speaker 2>I'll leave you Chap loves and cohnsense you'll join us <v Speaker 2>for lunch Murphy, But no, that's about it, and says, <v Speaker 2>come on, what happens off the nice of you? <v Speaker 3>Oh, come, come, come, Murphy. Any one of us can <v Speaker 3>make a foolish mistake. It's just lucky that you didn't <v Speaker 3>have to pay for yours. <v Speaker 2>Steve wishes the David, Yes, the three please disaways you? <v Speaker 2>Does this debut please you? Excellent? <v Speaker 3>Thank you George, and as hungry as a hunter, how <v Speaker 3>about you, Murphy. <v Speaker 5>I'm afraid I have very little appetite. This whole cases <v Speaker 5>upset me dreadfully. <v Speaker 2>You mustn't take it so much to heart. Matthy and <v Speaker 2>by the way, doctor, i'd like to have your opinion <v Speaker 2>on the case. Who do you think stage the theft <v Speaker 2>of the emerald to defect the office? <v Speaker 6>To me, Lady and Parlington did it herself to collect <v Speaker 6>insurance money if she hadn't. <v Speaker 3>She's insisted on your finding the thief. But you needn't worry, <v Speaker 3>old Chap. You'll get your fee. <v Speaker 2>All right, I'm sure, though I'm not worry about the fee. <v Speaker 2>But I assure you Lady and did not engineered that <v Speaker 2>broad today you you mean it was Stafford and tell <v Speaker 2>him who was responsible? My dear Murvey, But how should <v Speaker 2>I know, Comma Murby, Let's not sense any longer. You <v Speaker 2>did an excellent job, a superlative job. <v Speaker 5>I was almost sorry to disappointed for you. I don't <v Speaker 5>think I understand your herds. <v Speaker 2>You do, Marvi. You're a splendid actor too. I was <v Speaker 2>so deeply touched when you were a parenty stone, a <v Speaker 2>fake Chuel and all the time you knew that the <v Speaker 2>rital one was safely hidden in the bottle of Clane <v Speaker 2>demark be abstracted that your leisure, you scoundrel. <v Speaker 3>Would you mind telling me what's going on here? I'm <v Speaker 3>completing absolutely in the. <v Speaker 2>Dark Elliot's obvious, My dear doctor, the imitation Emerald was <v Speaker 2>a brilliant copy. <v Speaker 8>What makes you so sure of that, fight, dear, because <v Speaker 8>his April. <v Speaker 2>Fool's Day hoax was only conceived yesterday, or that is <v Speaker 2>what you wished the other to believe. Such a superb <v Speaker 2>paced gem could not have been made at such short notice. Therefore, <v Speaker 2>it must have been prepared by someone who knew about <v Speaker 2>the hoax before it was arranged. Now, my dear doctor, <v Speaker 2>when Stampers told you about the plan last night, whose <v Speaker 2>idea did he say it was? He told me that <v Speaker 2>was Lady and Parlington's plessis then, and yet Lady Anne <v Speaker 2>referred today as Temper's idea. Obviously, you, my dear Murphy, <v Speaker 2>presented the plan to each as the notion of the other, <v Speaker 2>and so only you could have arranged the real theft <v Speaker 2>behind the hoax. I repeat, a splendid job, mister Holmes. <v Speaker 7>May I I also compliment you on your cleverness and <v Speaker 7>frustrating my plot. <v Speaker 3>Look here, what is all this, One of us a criminal, <v Speaker 3>the other's detective. <v Speaker 6>It's offering each other complimens as if you were in <v Speaker 6>the same profession. <v Speaker 2>The dividing line between the criminal and the criminal investigator <v Speaker 2>is than you might imagine. My dear doctor, how very true. <v Speaker 8>My dear home, would you consider coming over to my <v Speaker 8>side of the lion. <v Speaker 5>Together we did make an unbeatable team. <v Speaker 2>Are you flatterining? Nevertheless, I must decline your offer, mister. <v Speaker 7>Murphy, or pity on your side of the line, You'll <v Speaker 7>never be a rich man. By the way, if your <v Speaker 7>edification my name is miss Murphy, those tampard insists on <v Speaker 7>thinking it is, then what is your name? <v Speaker 3>Coundrel? <v Speaker 5>Your friends says the word scoundrel so much better than you, <v Speaker 5>doctor my name. My name is Mercury. <v Speaker 2>Indeed a spelled m u r t r y no D. <v Speaker 5>I mean, I have so much couple with my name. <v Speaker 7>People will either misspell it or mispronounce it. I'm afraid <v Speaker 7>I'll have to begin calling it the way looks m <v Speaker 7>O r. <v Speaker 2>I A r t e y Mariatti, Mariatti. I shall <v Speaker 2>remember that name. I have a feeling we shall meet again. <v Speaker 2>I trust that we shall. <v Speaker 7>You've won the first brown Shellock Holmes, I admit that, <v Speaker 7>but I believe that a return match is indicated. <v Speaker 2>I shall look forward to it. <v Speaker 5>Mariatti. <v Speaker 2>Now, doctor, I can't stand your bill for flaring knockers <v Speaker 2>or a lutch. Shall we a good? <v Speaker 8>That was a pretty hectic April Fool's Day. <v Speaker 3>I know what to see enough money if you like it, I. <v Speaker 4>Don't blame you, you know, I sure hate to have <v Speaker 4>someone come to my house and pull a trick like <v Speaker 4>that on me. <v Speaker 3>Do you have a pictures emerald you feel? Maybe? <v Speaker 6>Store? <v Speaker 3>Are you kidding? <v Speaker 4>I would know the difference between a precious emerald and <v Speaker 4>a piece of green glass. But when it comes to <v Speaker 4>ruby's that's something else. <v Speaker 2>Oh, you would know a ruby when you're sure, because <v Speaker 2>the ruby has exactly the same color as a glass <v Speaker 2>of Petrie California port held up to the light. <v Speaker 6>Mister Buel, you can find more excuses talking about Petry. <v Speaker 3>Wine than any man in the entire world. Believe me, excuses. <v Speaker 4>I don't need an excuse to talk about Petrie wine. <v Speaker 4>Why there's a wine that actually speaks for itself. If <v Speaker 4>I may borrow a phrase from Shakespeare or somebody does, <v Speaker 4>not the wine quite like Petree wine, because only Petree <v Speaker 4>wine is made by the Petrie family, and the Petrie <v Speaker 4>family has been making wine for generations they've been handing <v Speaker 4>down from father to son, from father to son years <v Speaker 4>than years of knowledge and experience, the fine art turning <v Speaker 4>luscious grapes, the clear, fragrant, delicious wine. Yes, And because <v Speaker 4>the making of Petrie wine is a family affair, those <v Speaker 4>letters P. E. T R I on a bottle of <v Speaker 4>wine are the personal assurance of the Petrie family that <v Speaker 4>every drop of wine in that bottle is good wine. <v Speaker 4>You never miss with a Petrie wine because Petrie took <v Speaker 4>time to bring to good wine. Well, doctor Watson, wats <v Speaker 4>the prescription for next week? <v Speaker 6>Well, next week, miss about tell I'm going to tell <v Speaker 6>you a rather unusual story. It concerns a series of <v Speaker 6>strange disappearances and a murder with defant reason.
