From New York, the makers of Clipper Craft Clothes for men.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
And nine hundred and twenty four leading retail stores from
coast to coast present.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
The world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. Our stories are
based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir
Argurt Colan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed by John Stanley,
(00:43):
Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the dominizations are by
Edith Meiser.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Here we are about to water doctor Watson's committed study.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hello, what's this?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We find the good doctor hanging up his Christmas hobby.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Not forgetting springer of mistletoe. Mister Harris, hope springs the tell,
as they say.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
But here, help me down.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
From this chair.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
My old legs on that giant as they were in
the days when I followed homes, through the dungeons and
up the task stares of old Pensacon Castle, there were
er face.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So that sounds suspiciously like the beginning of a Sherlock
Holmes yarn.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Doctor Watson it is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Mister Harris, it is. Holmes always called it.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
The Adventure of the Christmas Bride.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It concerns a ghostly lady.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
In white, who was supposed to have disappeared centuries ago.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The honor Over family had a certain Father Christmas who
suddenly sang bass and now I fixed us both of you,
tied Tory. Suppose you tell our friends and listeners about
a gifted man in our order would welcome from Father
Christmas orders you Americans call him.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Santa Claus with pleasure, doctor Watson, and not only from
Santa Claus. A thrifty man can give himself a worthwhile
gift anytime if he insists on clipper crack for clipper
Craft clothes.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Keep on giving for a long long time.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
First of all, you've never seen such truly fine clothes
at such really low prices. That means you pocket the skivings.
That's the first gift to yourself. And they also give
you superb styling, perfect fit and long wear. Clipper Craft
clothes give you so very much because of the unique
clipper Craft Plan, concentrating the buying power of nine hundred
(02:26):
twenty four of.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
The nation's leading stores from coast to coast. That means
tremendous savings in manufacturing and distribution costs, and yours are
the savings springing plan makes possible. Clipper Craft suits are
only forty and forty five dollars, clipper Craft top coats
and overcoats only forty dollars, and sport jackets.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Only twenty six fifty. Clipper Craft badges are so amazing we.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Urge you to compare them, with both selling for many
dollars more. And now, how about that Christmas bride, Doctor Watson.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Her name was Geneva, and she was the heir and
only child of Lord Robert Neville, tenth Earl and fifty
fourth Baron Pensdragon of Pensdragon Castle. Yes, I shall never
forget my first glimpse of that ancient and somewhat forbidding edifice,
the walls gray and bleak without the summer covering of ivy,
(03:24):
the tars square and defiant, with a red or rouged
dragon pennant angrily defying the winter gales. Will as I
was saying, a rather urgent message from Lord Neville on
elegant embosstationery arrived.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
At two twenty one b Baker Street.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Would mister Hols and Doc Watson doing the honor of
a visit to Pensdragon over.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The Christmas holidays.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
The visit to include the wedding of his daughter led
Geneva to the immensely wealthy of slightly middle aged went
with Trimingham, which was due.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
To occurred on the second day of the new year.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Now don't tell me. The eminent mister Sherlock Holmes was
called in to guard the wedding presence.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Doctor watched the hardly.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Mister heavies at any rate.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
The day before Christmas pound us a lighting from our
train at a small station in the Cumberland Hills, which
you know are situated in the north of England.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
There had been a slight fall of snow.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
An ancient carriage with red wheels and the little arms
on the door was thrown into the station platform, while
the anxious face of the Lord of the manor himself
in top hat and ear mufs, peered through one of
the steamy windows.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Mister Arms and Doctor Patterson. That's right, and this may,
gentlemen his lordship to expect your encourage.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Quite a fall of snow. You've come here, sir more
a common rights.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We should have brought the stay on his lordship lorded
to the vicar for tomorrow night Vica always plays by
the Christmas that day are on.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Christmas Eve Manos and mister ORMs and doctor Watch sir,
Good afternoon, gentlemen, good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You will hop in before you freeze to death? Are
you here? I'm suppose you're fined off this ah An
NNI's better pens dragons faster to gain.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Mister Holmes, as curious as to why I've invited you
and doctor Watson to share our yule Tide celebrations of
hens Dragon to be quite a milord level.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I didn't think it was entirely for the pleasure of
our society.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Although Watson is quite an asset when it comes to
Carol singing, tennor certainly lost that of that good the
vicar who leads the Christmas singing.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
He's rather proud of his tenor voice, and may say
he's not too fond of competition.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Ms Polmes, I have invited to depends Dragon to make
sure that nothing nothing occurs to prevent the marriage of
my daughter to mister Wentworth's Trimmingham. Why is that marriage
so imperative, Lord Devil to be brutally frank, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The nail estates are mortgaged up to the ears if
the marriage.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Does not go through on the second of next month,
I shall be banked, totally bank.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You'll see, nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Occurred, Lord Neville, to make you fear that this marriage
may not take place.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That is nothing definite.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Perhaps the lady Genevra hasn't been able to hide her
deceased for the may.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh no, no, no, nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I wouldn't say it was a passionate attachment on either side.
But they they like the same things. She laughs at
all his jokes. What better foundation could one ask for
a marriage.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Jay Watson, That's what I should have said.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, everything was as smooth as silk until the Dowager
Duchess of Terse gave the engagement the last month. It
was at her suggestion that I sent you the invitation
to Pen's Dragon. She's been decidedly edgy ever since Percy
returned in a mistat of betrothal.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Dinner two weeks ago. Percy as Percy is my cousin.
Although he's only seven years older than Genevra, he's our
next of kin. See as a matter of fact, he's
an orphan and lived with.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Us of Penn's Dragon until he went off to Canada
to seek his fortune two years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
If anything, should.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Happen to your daughter before she produced an air, would
Percy devil Inheadit?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes, doctor Watson, both the title and the estates Percy
Neverrell's return was unexpected.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Iver. It was unexpected and meldramatic, to say the beast.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The betrothal dinner was being held in the great hall
of Penn's drinking cattle. My daughter had just.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Risen to return the bridegroom's toast.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
As she lifted her glass, a casement window was thrown
violently open, and Percy walked in out of the night.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
And now I should like to make a toast to
my future bridegroom, Hersey.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Thursday. Urse. But I came as soon as I received
news of the engagement, Percy. Why didn't you let us
know you were coming? Let you know that, you know
when you never bought to answer my letters, We never
received any let us. We thought you'd forgotten this.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I'd forgotten so that that would have mattered.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Thirsty, That's not true. You know how fond are we
are of you. I'll touch you, Percy. This is Wentworth
Wentworth tuning in my future right.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
This is the little man they've sold.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
You to.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It. I'm very fond of Wheneva. Fancy why do you
look at me like that to think you should so
soon forget our family motto name delay.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
This name never means that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know nay delay balis.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Nay v they venus let it, I take it at
home quite it means stoop to nothing. Bass In case
you've forgotten your obit, Watson, teach your grandmother to save
Tell me, Lord Neville, what happened? Doctor Percy quoted the
family motto your daughter. He stamped off to his old
rooms in the tower and hasn't been out of them since.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
How does the lady Geneva react to this unfriendly behavior? Who?
She says, let himself, It's no concern of hers.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Lady Ters, on the other hand, is thoroughly unnerved by
Testy's return.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh is she finished? Or he'll do something outrageous. The
of the wedding, Paul Wentworth as an edgy as a
hen on a hot riddle. Well, of course, that may
be due to his encounter with the White Lady.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
White Lady who she the ghost of the first Geneva,
You know, the bride who played hide and seek on
her wedding nights and was never seen alive again. Years later,
her skeleton was stounded in her great power chest, still
dressed in her wedding gown. She'd hidden in there, and
somehow the hats must have fallen down and she was
locked in and smothered to death.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Seems to be remember a rather famous pern on the
Circle of Guess.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So all the Genevas and the Nevills family have been
named after her. She's supposed to walk through the halls
of the castle wherever.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Her misfortune is due to a curtain cheerful damas on
her homes.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
When and how did it went worth coming to meet
the lady? Well, mister Holmes, it seems it's his habit
to knock on my daughter's door.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And he went to bed to wish her good night
last night. The wind was rather high, and he couldn't
seem to make my daughter hear.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Suddenly he heard a strange creaking noise down the horridor
behind him. Looking round, he saw the lid of the
dark chest right slow, Geneva, Geneva, my.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
DearS, I went to birth that come to bid you
good night? Geneva? Are you there, genever? Good Lord? But
the lid of the chest rising, and something woman in wie.
She's rising under the church boy.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
You come to me, I have come to warn you
go away, go away?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Before then, what happened Lord Novo?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
For nothing, mister Holmes, Apparently the white figure glided past
my daughter. Say I'm saying disappeared after the task step.
What if the lady looked like blonde brunette when says
her features were hidden by the bridal veil. It's interesting.
I suppose anyone in the house would have access to
that power chest.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
On the contrary of mister Holmes, too many people are
possessed of insatiable curiosity. I keep the silly safety petlock.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I promise you how many keys are that to that petlock,
one which I keep by me here on.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
My hearing A very wise precaution, I say, Holmes.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Oh, but it's even larger than the one in my room.
But the Chansy Queen.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Victoria slept there when she paid a visit in eighteen
forty six.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It looks so superior, Watson, Elizabeth, I'm told slept here
at a few years before.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Or come in all lads, beautiful and charming.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Stop nonsense. Glad to see you both of you. Something's
going on here. I don't like it. What sort of
something are you referring to it?
Speaker 7 (12:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I did for you can never looks as if Butter.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Wouldn't melt in her mouth that sign Certy looks like
a thundetter.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's worse.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I thought Percy put himself in his room refused to
see anyone.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
I'd like to see anyone refuse to see me.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But I'm gavin.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You will want to view the premises.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yes, First of all, I'd like to inspect that dour chest.
It might be interesting to investigate how lady and White
can emerge from a carefully padlocker.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Then you don't think it was a ghost? Neither do I? Well,
what was she up to?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You should be able to answer those questions better, Leditors,
after you've had a look inside that box. I wonder
if you could persuade Lord Neville to lend us the key.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Here's the key, mister Holmes. The Lord never insists bring
it back the moment to finish with him. Suspicious old boy,
not suspicious? Doctor Watson fussy? Well, mister Holmes, why the delay?
Open the silly chest. Let's see what's inside.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
So fast, Lady Turst, Not so fast?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
First let's have a look at the lock. Any bit
of machinery.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's almost impossible to pick it without showing signs. There
are no signs.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Then whoever opened it used that key not necessarily wantson.
But there's only one key.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Lord Neville told us so, And then Robert started to saying,
it's gospel.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yes, interesting carving around the lock.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The wood's very old.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Open it up, fine, dying of curiosity.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Very well, lucky soiling hasn't been unlocked for some time.
I'll remove the padlock here, Watson, Now, Lady Terst will
help me raise the lid.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Right, good lord, what's the Oh it's Jenever's spaniel everywhere
with her regular shadow.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh, yes, yes she can't. Hello there, I'm Geneva. Why
you must shell our combs?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
And doctor Watson delighted.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Don't let me stop you, mister Holmes. You won't Father's
me for.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
What you're up to.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'm dying to see what's in the chest too. Go ahead,
open it up, god dome boy. It's it's a biggish box,
isn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yes, a woman could easily hide in.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
There, something quite tender lying on the bottom. Wonderful. It
must be her riding dress.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I've always heard of it still in there.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Remarkable to find it in such good condition after all
these years.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The remarkable thing about it, Dada Genevrah, is this dust
and dirt up him?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Watson, give me an envelope. I shall want to take example.
But that's fascinating.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
I've heard simply fabulous things about you, mister Holmes, and
now I believe them.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Everyone do you yes? I think we've seen everything there
is to be seen here.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Watson, you may close the lid.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And lock it right. Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
So the this is missus Sherlock Holmes and his famous deductions.
They told me you were coming. They Who's they? I
understood you. Let no one in here, not even Bay.
You've overlooked Lady Terse, finding her out of anything.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I didn't mention, mister Holmes, perfect or did?
Speaker 9 (15:15):
I don't look so suspicious, Lady Terts. I've decided to
be a good boy. I've even decided to come downstairs
tonight and join the Christmas Eve festivities Pursday.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
That gleam in your eyes. I've known you too long.
You're up to stumps.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
If you want to know what satisfying people really means,
ask any man who wears clipper Craft clothes, he'll sing
their praises with good reason too, For values like clipper
Craft amaze even clothing experts.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Until you see clipper Craft clothes and try them on,
you won't believe such really superb suit are possible.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
At only forty and forty five dollars.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
And such rich, long wearing top coats overcoats at only
forty dollars, such very smart sports jackets at only twenty
six fifty For just a fraction of what you'd expect
to pay, you get correct styling, perfect fit, and long
wearing materials. An ingenious plan makes this all possible, the
clipper Craft Plan, which concentrates the buying power of nine
(16:25):
hundred twenty four of the nation's leading stores from coast
to coast. You get the savings that result from this
group buying at your own local Independence.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Store, the store you can trust.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
Selling inexpensive clothes at inexpensive low prices at the nation's
finest Independence stores is the keig big idea behind the
clipper Craft Plan.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Because if Geneva isn't here.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Where is she with Father Christmas?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I imagine they're heading for the Scottish border in the sleigh.
Don't never catch them, I'm afraid.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh god, she's a lope to a person. So she
did fucking wrong. Good, so that's why she tailed off
up the tower steps in that old bridal gown.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
I suspected as much when I discovered some of Percy's
ashes on its hem bah.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
But this is dress I should be ruined. We'll have
to return all the wedding presents civil.
Speaker 8 (24:14):

need the lncess with me.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Robert, come along, see you, old fraud.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I believe you knew what was going on all the time.
I suspected Watson. I suspected, but when I saw the
lady Genebra raise her ball gown and display a pair
of traveling boots.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
I was sure.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
But come along, Watson, we shall have to come up
a kitchen and make peace with the croper. Why that
for making off with Sunday's roasted beef. Something had to
be done to keep the dog interested or he'd have
given the show away.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Well, that certainly was a Christmas story with all the trimmings,
after Watson, that your legend says. And now when I
fit up our glasses so we can drink a Christmas
toast to our.

Doctor everraizing is the word, mister Harris, we would a
board the luxury diner Gigantic, expecting that any minute she
would burst into flames.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
There's nothing more terrifying, we know, than a fire sea.
Speaker 5 (26:05):

The world's most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. Our stories are
based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes, created by Sir
Argurt Colan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed by John Stanley,
(00:43):
Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the dominizations are by
Edith Meiser.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Here we are about to water doctor Watson's committed study.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Hello, what's this?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
We find the good doctor hanging up his Christmas hobby.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Not forgetting springer of mistletoe. Mister Harris, hope springs the tell,
as they say.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
But here, help me down.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
From this chair.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
My old legs on that giant as they were in
the days when I followed homes, through the dungeons and
up the task stares of old Pensacon Castle, there were
er face.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So that sounds suspiciously like the beginning of a Sherlock
Holmes yarn.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Doctor Watson it is.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Mister Harris, it is. Holmes always called it.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
The Adventure of the Christmas Bride.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It concerns a ghostly lady.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
In white, who was supposed to have disappeared centuries ago.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
The honor Over family had a certain Father Christmas who
suddenly sang bass and now I fixed us both of you,
tied Tory. Suppose you tell our friends and listeners about
a gifted man in our order would welcome from Father
Christmas orders you Americans call him.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Santa Claus with pleasure, doctor Watson, and not only from
Santa Claus. A thrifty man can give himself a worthwhile
gift anytime if he insists on clipper crack for clipper
Craft clothes.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Keep on giving for a long long time.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
First of all, you've never seen such truly fine clothes
at such really low prices. That means you pocket the skivings.
That's the first gift to yourself. And they also give
you superb styling, perfect fit and long wear. Clipper Craft
clothes give you so very much because of the unique
clipper Craft Plan, concentrating the buying power of nine hundred

The nation's leading stores from coast to coast. That means
tremendous savings in manufacturing and distribution costs, and yours are
the savings springing plan makes possible. Clipper Craft suits are
only forty and forty five dollars, clipper Craft top coats
and overcoats only forty dollars, and sport jackets.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Only twenty six fifty. Clipper Craft badges are so amazing we.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Urge you to compare them, with both selling for many
dollars more. And now, how about that Christmas bride, Doctor Watson.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Her name was Geneva, and she was the heir and
only child of Lord Robert Neville, tenth Earl and fifty
fourth Baron Pensdragon of Pensdragon Castle. Yes, I shall never
forget my first glimpse of that ancient and somewhat forbidding edifice,
the walls gray and bleak without the summer covering of ivy,
(03:24):
the tars square and defiant, with a red or rouged
dragon pennant angrily defying the winter gales. Will as I
was saying, a rather urgent message from Lord Neville on
elegant embosstationery arrived.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
At two twenty one b Baker Street.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Would mister Hols and Doc Watson doing the honor of
a visit to Pensdragon over.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The Christmas holidays.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
The visit to include the wedding of his daughter led
Geneva to the immensely wealthy of slightly middle aged went
with Trimingham, which was due.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
To occurred on the second day of the new year.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Now don't tell me. The eminent mister Sherlock Holmes was
called in to guard the wedding presence.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Doctor watched the hardly.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Mister heavies at any rate.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
The day before Christmas pound us a lighting from our
train at a small station in the Cumberland Hills, which
you know are situated in the north of England.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
There had been a slight fall of snow.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
An ancient carriage with red wheels and the little arms
on the door was thrown into the station platform, while
the anxious face of the Lord of the manor himself
in top hat and ear mufs, peered through one of
the steamy windows.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Mister Arms and Doctor Patterson. That's right, and this may,
gentlemen his lordship to expect your encourage.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Quite a fall of snow. You've come here, sir more
a common rights.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We should have brought the stay on his lordship lorded
to the vicar for tomorrow night Vica always plays by
the Christmas that day are on.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Christmas Eve Manos and mister ORMs and doctor Watch sir,
Good afternoon, gentlemen, good afternoon.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You will hop in before you freeze to death? Are
you here? I'm suppose you're fined off this ah An
NNI's better pens dragons faster to gain.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Mister Holmes, as curious as to why I've invited you
and doctor Watson to share our yule Tide celebrations of
hens Dragon to be quite a milord level.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I didn't think it was entirely for the pleasure of
our society.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Although Watson is quite an asset when it comes to
Carol singing, tennor certainly lost that of that good the
vicar who leads the Christmas singing.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
He's rather proud of his tenor voice, and may say
he's not too fond of competition.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Ms Polmes, I have invited to depends Dragon to make
sure that nothing nothing occurs to prevent the marriage of
my daughter to mister Wentworth's Trimmingham. Why is that marriage
so imperative, Lord Devil to be brutally frank, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The nail estates are mortgaged up to the ears if
the marriage.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Does not go through on the second of next month,
I shall be banked, totally bank.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You'll see, nothing.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Occurred, Lord Neville, to make you fear that this marriage
may not take place.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That is nothing definite.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Perhaps the lady Genevra hasn't been able to hide her
deceased for the may.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Oh no, no, no, nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I wouldn't say it was a passionate attachment on either side.
But they they like the same things. She laughs at
all his jokes. What better foundation could one ask for
a marriage.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Jay Watson, That's what I should have said.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Well, everything was as smooth as silk until the Dowager
Duchess of Terse gave the engagement the last month. It
was at her suggestion that I sent you the invitation
to Pen's Dragon. She's been decidedly edgy ever since Percy
returned in a mistat of betrothal.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Dinner two weeks ago. Percy as Percy is my cousin.
Although he's only seven years older than Genevra, he's our
next of kin. See as a matter of fact, he's
an orphan and lived with.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Us of Penn's Dragon until he went off to Canada
to seek his fortune two years ago.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
If anything, should.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Happen to your daughter before she produced an air, would
Percy devil Inheadit?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes, doctor Watson, both the title and the estates Percy
Neverrell's return was unexpected.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Iver. It was unexpected and meldramatic, to say the beast.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
The betrothal dinner was being held in the great hall
of Penn's drinking cattle. My daughter had just.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Risen to return the bridegroom's toast.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
As she lifted her glass, a casement window was thrown
violently open, and Percy walked in out of the night.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
And now I should like to make a toast to
my future bridegroom, Hersey.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Thursday. Urse. But I came as soon as I received
news of the engagement, Percy. Why didn't you let us
know you were coming? Let you know that, you know
when you never bought to answer my letters, We never
received any let us. We thought you'd forgotten this.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I'd forgotten so that that would have mattered.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Thirsty, That's not true. You know how fond are we
are of you. I'll touch you, Percy. This is Wentworth
Wentworth tuning in my future right.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
This is the little man they've sold.
Speaker 7 (08:03):
You to.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It. I'm very fond of Wheneva. Fancy why do you
look at me like that to think you should so
soon forget our family motto name delay.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
This name never means that.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You know nay delay balis.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Nay v they venus let it, I take it at
home quite it means stoop to nothing. Bass In case
you've forgotten your obit, Watson, teach your grandmother to save
Tell me, Lord Neville, what happened? Doctor Percy quoted the
family motto your daughter. He stamped off to his old
rooms in the tower and hasn't been out of them since.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
How does the lady Geneva react to this unfriendly behavior? Who?
She says, let himself, It's no concern of hers.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Lady Ters, on the other hand, is thoroughly unnerved by
Testy's return.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh is she finished? Or he'll do something outrageous. The
of the wedding, Paul Wentworth as an edgy as a
hen on a hot riddle. Well, of course, that may
be due to his encounter with the White Lady.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
White Lady who she the ghost of the first Geneva,
You know, the bride who played hide and seek on
her wedding nights and was never seen alive again. Years later,
her skeleton was stounded in her great power chest, still
dressed in her wedding gown. She'd hidden in there, and
somehow the hats must have fallen down and she was
locked in and smothered to death.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Seems to be remember a rather famous pern on the
Circle of Guess.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So all the Genevas and the Nevills family have been
named after her. She's supposed to walk through the halls
of the castle wherever.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Her misfortune is due to a curtain cheerful damas on
her homes.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
When and how did it went worth coming to meet
the lady? Well, mister Holmes, it seems it's his habit
to knock on my daughter's door.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
And he went to bed to wish her good night
last night. The wind was rather high, and he couldn't
seem to make my daughter hear.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Suddenly he heard a strange creaking noise down the horridor
behind him. Looking round, he saw the lid of the
dark chest right slow, Geneva, Geneva, my.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
DearS, I went to birth that come to bid you
good night? Geneva? Are you there, genever? Good Lord? But
the lid of the chest rising, and something woman in wie.
She's rising under the church boy.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
You come to me, I have come to warn you
go away, go away?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Before then, what happened Lord Novo?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
For nothing, mister Holmes, Apparently the white figure glided past
my daughter. Say I'm saying disappeared after the task step.
What if the lady looked like blonde brunette when says
her features were hidden by the bridal veil. It's interesting.
I suppose anyone in the house would have access to
that power chest.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
On the contrary of mister Holmes, too many people are
possessed of insatiable curiosity. I keep the silly safety petlock.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I promise you how many keys are that to that petlock,
one which I keep by me here on.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
My hearing A very wise precaution, I say, Holmes.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Oh, but it's even larger than the one in my room.
But the Chansy Queen.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Victoria slept there when she paid a visit in eighteen
forty six.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It looks so superior, Watson, Elizabeth, I'm told slept here
at a few years before.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Or come in all lads, beautiful and charming.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Stop nonsense. Glad to see you both of you. Something's
going on here. I don't like it. What sort of
something are you referring to it?
Speaker 7 (12:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I did for you can never looks as if Butter.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Wouldn't melt in her mouth that sign Certy looks like
a thundetter.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's worse.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I thought Percy put himself in his room refused to
see anyone.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
I'd like to see anyone refuse to see me.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
But I'm gavin.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You will want to view the premises.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yes, First of all, I'd like to inspect that dour chest.
It might be interesting to investigate how lady and White
can emerge from a carefully padlocker.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Then you don't think it was a ghost? Neither do I? Well,
what was she up to?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
You should be able to answer those questions better, Leditors,
after you've had a look inside that box. I wonder
if you could persuade Lord Neville to lend us the key.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Here's the key, mister Holmes. The Lord never insists bring
it back the moment to finish with him. Suspicious old boy,
not suspicious? Doctor Watson fussy? Well, mister Holmes, why the delay?
Open the silly chest. Let's see what's inside.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
So fast, Lady Turst, Not so fast?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
First let's have a look at the lock. Any bit
of machinery.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
It's almost impossible to pick it without showing signs. There
are no signs.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Then whoever opened it used that key not necessarily wantson.
But there's only one key.
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Lord Neville told us so, And then Robert started to saying,
it's gospel.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Yes, interesting carving around the lock.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
The wood's very old.
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Open it up, fine, dying of curiosity.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Very well, lucky soiling hasn't been unlocked for some time.
I'll remove the padlock here, Watson, Now, Lady Terst will
help me raise the lid.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Right, good lord, what's the Oh it's Jenever's spaniel everywhere
with her regular shadow.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Oh, yes, yes she can't. Hello there, I'm Geneva. Why
you must shell our combs?
Speaker 6 (14:07):
And doctor Watson delighted.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Don't let me stop you, mister Holmes. You won't Father's
me for.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
What you're up to.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
I'm dying to see what's in the chest too. Go ahead,
open it up, god dome boy. It's it's a biggish box,
isn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yes, a woman could easily hide in.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
There, something quite tender lying on the bottom. Wonderful. It
must be her riding dress.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I've always heard of it still in there.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Remarkable to find it in such good condition after all
these years.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
The remarkable thing about it, Dada Genevrah, is this dust
and dirt up him?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Watson, give me an envelope. I shall want to take example.
But that's fascinating.
Speaker 6 (14:45):
I've heard simply fabulous things about you, mister Holmes, and
now I believe them.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Everyone do you yes? I think we've seen everything there
is to be seen here.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Watson, you may close the lid.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
And lock it right. Uh huh?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
So the this is missus Sherlock Holmes and his famous deductions.
They told me you were coming. They Who's they? I
understood you. Let no one in here, not even Bay.
You've overlooked Lady Terse, finding her out of anything.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I didn't mention, mister Holmes, perfect or did?
Speaker 9 (15:15):
I don't look so suspicious, Lady Terts. I've decided to
be a good boy. I've even decided to come downstairs
tonight and join the Christmas Eve festivities Pursday.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
That gleam in your eyes. I've known you too long.
You're up to stumps.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
If you want to know what satisfying people really means,
ask any man who wears clipper Craft clothes, he'll sing
their praises with good reason too, For values like clipper
Craft amaze even clothing experts.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
Until you see clipper Craft clothes and try them on,
you won't believe such really superb suit are possible.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
At only forty and forty five dollars.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
And such rich, long wearing top coats overcoats at only
forty dollars, such very smart sports jackets at only twenty
six fifty For just a fraction of what you'd expect
to pay, you get correct styling, perfect fit, and long
wearing materials. An ingenious plan makes this all possible, the
clipper Craft Plan, which concentrates the buying power of nine

hundred twenty four of the nation's leading stores from coast
to coast. You get the savings that result from this
group buying at your own local Independence.
