Speaker 1 (00:00):
This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Radio Service.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Petree Wine brings you.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Lass, a laugh phone and knock the proofs the new
adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petree family, the family that
took time to bring you good wine. Invite you to
listen to Doctor Watson tell us another exciting story about
his old friend at Master, Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I would also like to.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Tell you something you really ought to know, the fact
that the one sure way to make good food taste
better is to truck that good food together with a
glass of good Petree wine. Did you ever try Petree
wine with dinner? No kidding, That's one bandwagon you sure
want to hop on. Take, for instance, a deep, red,
hearty Petrie California Burgundy. Where do you taste that Petrie
(00:59):
Burgundy with let's say a delicious old fashioned beef stew,
or maybe try a glass was forgetting. I'm telling you,
when you add the luscious flavor of that Petrie Burgundy
with the flavor of your favorite foods, you're really living
you're finding out for the first time what good eating
really means on the level. So better keep a bottle
of that Petrie Burgundy right on the dining room table.
(01:21):
And never forget the best friend a good meal ever
had is a glass of Petree wine. And now for
our weekly visit with the good Doctor Watson.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
May I come in?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Doctor? You know me better than that you come in.
I'm expecting you. I always look forward to these Monday
evenings together.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
You know me too, doctor.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
In fact, I always say this is the one doctor's
appointment that never scares me.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
By.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Do up a turn? Make you so comfortable?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Thanks? And what prescription do you have in mind for
us tonight?
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Let me see, take one measure of subterranean peril, one
of aristocratic lady in distress, a sprinkling of assorted villains,
a corpse or two, and a little more than a
dash of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Take the mixture well, and you have the case of
the out of date murder?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Or how did the adventure of again Barker?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Exactly enough? It was in September of nineteen hundred.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I remember that Holmes and I went to Eastbourne.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
For a much needed rest.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
First couple of days we spent in soothing idleness.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
On the morning of the third day, Holmes a dash
of clowdac in his cheek and the hint of the
old sparkle in his eye suggested that heould go and
call on his good friend, Evan Whitnell, curator of a
nearby museum. And so just after lunch on that September day,
found the two of us talking.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
To Pessor Evan Whitnell in his private office at the museum.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It only seems, yet, with all your recent discoveries in
this part of things, that had made you world famous
instead of just nationally famous. My congratulations, Professor, I do
wish you tell me your.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Discovery is Pleasures of doctor Watson.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
There less than two months ago I was excavating on
the downlands in this neighborhood, when I was fortunate enough
to discover a number of underground caves, caves saturated with
a heavy deposit of line that gave clear evidence of
having the property of rapidly mummifying any flesh human animal
deposited in them.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Interesting, in what treasures have you a professor?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
A number of mummified specimens of animals carely belonging to
bygone eras. My prize specimen is the body of.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
A large wolfhound.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
The inscription on its collar identified the animal as the
having belonged to some local squire in the year seventeen
hundred and forty eight.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I didn't know that limestone.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Has the qualities of preservation.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Come in, come in, yes, allan.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
What is it lady?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You asked me to tell you that she was in
the museum. Oh, yes, yes, yes, sir, sure up here.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm most anxious for you both to meet her, and she,
in turn is even more anxious to meet you. I
dined with her last night, and when I told her
that you were coming today, she insisted on meeting.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No wit, no use, gangled with a twinkle in your eye.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I suspect that Lady Lavin, this guest can help me
in my professional capacity, and that you engineered the meeting.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Perhaps I might have dropped her, won't.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
You, Professor, Homes can't become involved with another case.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
He's completely run down.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, don't worry, doctor. All that Lady Travering requires is
a little advice vice. Yes, I knew you wouldn't mind.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Homes.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Ah, Helena, my dear.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
There you are, come along in thank you, Adam. Allow
me to introduce Lady Lavin, mister Charlock Holmes, and here
you are, my dear, sit down here. May as well
tell you, Helena that our little thought has already been discovered.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Oh dear, and I was just feting ready to exert
all my feminine wild in an attempt to persuade you
to help me.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Mister Herning, I'm certain that you found at irresistible cling.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You flattered me, but I mean it. The professor tells
me that you're in need of a little advice, Lady Laving.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yes, mister Holmes, I'll start questioning simply. Five years ago
my husband, Sir George Clavering left me.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Bless you, this is me.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
I haven't seen a heard tell of him since. I
now wish to remarry, but of course I couldn't do
that without having my husband declared legally dead.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
My dear, Lady Clavering, I can't help dealing with the
lawyers apartment cansult. Not a detective.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
But you're suggesting that there was found playing connection with
your husband's disappearance.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Oh no, doctor Watson.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
The Clavering.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
There a strange family, self willed and headstrong. George and
I were not happy together. I think he disappeared.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Deliberately, disappearance to the police of cause, yes it's.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Home, but they'd never been able to trace him.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
This kind of thing has happened in the family before
homes total about Nigel Helena, he.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Was one of my husbands.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
An says he walked off one day in seventeen seventy
seven was never seen again, disappearing.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Knew the legend you.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Often threatened to do the same thing in himself.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
But your problem, Lady Clavering, is not that of your
husband's fate, but rather of your own freedom. Yes, mister Herning, well,
I'm afraid my advice can be of little consolation to you.
The law has specified a number of years that must
have left before anyone disappearing could be declared legally dead.
I would suggest that you possess your soul in patience
until that period has elapsed.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Oh dear, and I was hoping you'll be able to
think of some terribly severe way of getting wrong the law.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Mister Holmes and Lady Clavering.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sometimes perhaps my methods may be unorthodox, but I assure
you that getting around the law, as you put it,
is a procedure.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I do not indulge in.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Dear me, and I tend did you, mister Holmes, And
it's the last thing on earth I'm meant to do.
I assure my.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Friends a little touch about matterscerning his professional honor.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Of nonsense, my dear watn't I'm not touching. I'm not offended.
And now may I suggest we all examined the professor's
with his treasures, and after that, perhaps he'll take us
for a stroll on the darns. I'm most anxious to
examine those lime pits of his. The lime pits are
(07:28):
about miles from here. It's a nice walk across the tiptops.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I'm try a little curving.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Didn't want to come with us, this charming woman, even
though she did rub you up the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
How beautiful woman wasn't?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But I must confess her charm and you to me,
her lext concern about her husband's fate seemed completely unnatural
and not if you'd known her husbands. Sir George Travering,
he was a tarrant and a bullet, both in his
whole life.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And in the village.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Well, who's this coming towards us?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's Sir Timmy death Timmy, they call him in these parts.
He isn't quite right in the head, poor fellow, but
he's probably harmssed. Has two passions in life, birds and bonfires. Timmy,
I've got something beautiful to show you. Oh, it's so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Well what is it, Timmy?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Look it's in my cap see. Oh isn't it laughing robins?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Egg?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I found it when I was bur nesting.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Did you see such a blue eggs beauty? Timmy?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Where did you find it?
Speaker 5 (08:27):
My boy?
Speaker 8 (08:28):
Down by the lime pits. Oh, I'm going to build
a lovely fire on the downs tonight. I'll let you
come and watch it if.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
You now, you'll be careful, Timmy, or you'll in trouble again.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Jimmy doesn't get in trouble anymore now, not since the
hats carried away.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So George traveling, he used to Timmy when he found
him on the land.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Timmy, tell me, how did you have, sir George, as
you put it there? Carried away?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
I told my birds about him. I told them how
he used to to beat poor Timmy. And they said
it hurry him off and drop him over the cliffs.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And that's what they did. Because he never came back again.
Oh Lord, here comes Harris for his brother. Now there'll
be trouble to me. You've gotta run, No, Timmy counts run.
Your break's pretty blue?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Eymy, Timmy, get off my land. I catch you here again.
I'll take my riding.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Kimmy hasn't done anything.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Go on beyond with If you're here, I'll tell my
part about you what I'll do.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Don't forget my bullfire Donald's handle. Hello, Hello, Hi. Have
you met Sharlock Holmes and Dr Watson? Oh the luck Holmes,
the professional Nosey Parker.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Eh, yes, yes, Helena.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We're just telling me about you.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm very angry with her, but talking to you about
my brother private affair, and I intended to remain one.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Under stand, Hans pull my soul. Never with your brother, sir,
and with you.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I advice you remember that you're not addressing a half
witted village who can't defend himself.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
If you know what's good for you, you do what
I say.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Certain brute, he spoke to you if you were stable
by home.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
He was quite refreshing.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I'm reminded of an apposite quotation of my young friend
James L. Roy Flecker buying impudence have a monstrous beauty,
like into the hind quarters of an elephant. He's almost
as much disliked as his brother of the poem. Tell me,
does he succeed to the title when his brother is
the legally dead?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And what's more, he's Helena's unofficial fansee worse luck I see.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Personally, I'm beginning to get trifle bored with the affairs
of the Chapping family that's gone to the line case
of him.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
These caves are amazing, must be fifty feet flow the
level of the ground.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well more than that, I should say pack formation is
most unusual.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's getting a cave by a.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Vertical honeycomb of tunneling. Yes, I think i'll light the
lantern now. It's darkening here, and I haven't explored this
particular cave before, and so I've had a.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Wall cave in on me a couple of times. So
you'd better watch.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Where you're walking.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now we can see better a little deeper, shall But
do watch your stuff?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Hmm? Getting it down here?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, what doesn't the cutters yet.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Look like a mammified bird of some kind.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It is a beautiful specimen, judging by its markings of
black speak here and bars white and said it was
a pelgreen. That's exactly what it is, a falcon taking
back a couple of hundred years, I should say, and
in a perfect state of preservation.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
This is a treasure.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But come on, let's explore deeper.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Another cave over here, Oh the lord, and have a
little older Oh lord, ho, Wal's never hurt?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Are you?
Speaker 7 (12:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
No, no, how I'm am all right?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Why you run earthed to another cave? Dr Watson, Let's go.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
I think we can manage to call through, all right, color, I.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Don't believe mind.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Quick, this is a pressure.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Indeed, a perfect preserved body dressed in eighteenth century costume.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Pocket with them are yes, and there's no mistaking who
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Look at that typical profioly it's a Clavering and it
isn't hard to identify which one.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Don't you mean the one that Lady Helen had told
us about this afternoon?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Exactly without doubt, this is the body of some Nigel
Old Clavering who disappeared in seventeen hundred and seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Let's search his pockets through might find some identifications.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Here's a snuff box of the period and some coins.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
The inscription of George the third is still visible on them. Hello,
here's here's this, direy. This is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
What are you up to?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Holmes examining the body?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Watson?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
This man was murdered, murdered.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
This wounds just about the heart, obviously infected with the
sharp instrument moba beer dagger.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
It is easy, interesting, an italic of experience for me.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
The opportunity to at solving an unsuspected murder committed well
over one hundred years ago. Fancy that day when you
want and see if the devil suspected his feet?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
How to read all the essence? Looks like they're peciliarity
of the ancient writing.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
They are faying I should have been saying. They are
paying in the coffee house? Is that my brother Harry
has been coveting my wife?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
This is amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
See how history repeats itself.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's an exact parallel that the situation existing today Harry
is curaging his tell his wife Helena, and Sir George
has not been seen for five years of an extronic incident,
if it were one.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
As it is, it's one of most engenius boards that
I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Observing appears authentic sort of the coins made, the ink
the paper of the daring. Due to the peculiar mummification
of the body, it would be almost impossible to say
how long it's been here. Overtheless, I'm convinced that this
is a recent course, and undoubtedly that of Sir George Flavering.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What makes you so sure of? How writing the diary.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Eighteenth century used an s It looks like an F,
it is true, But never at the end of a
word you will recall Watson that you were reading h
A f han or h as hand.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
That's first the two.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I was, well, that would be incorrect in genuine eighteenth
century writing. Now, obviously it is an extremely clever at
temper to disguise the comparatively recent murder of Sir George Flaverrin.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's an incredible hose. Yeah, I believe you're right.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
What's going to do about it?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Too?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You and I are travel I'm gone over the body you,
my dear whit no, if you don't mind, will be
good enough to go and fetch the police.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Holmes was okay, what do you suppose of keeping the police?
Witnow must have gone over an hour. The lantern with him.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Here we are clutching in the dark of the smelly cave,
kicked it under the cliffs with the monified corps.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Who want.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Uh huh, here come Tomanton, it must have winnow and
the police widow, that's you with no.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That lantern's blanding me that you window answer contel.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Come oh, Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a second,
(16:15):
And I'm going to take that second to ask you
what do you think of when I say good food?
When you say good food to me, I can see
myself really going down on a piece of fried chicken,
but really fried, you know, crisp and sort of a
light brown. When I see that chicken, I sure want
to see some Petri California So Turned because, believe me,
Petree so Turn is a white wine. That's the wine
(16:38):
for chicken. That Petrie still Turn has a delicate kind
of flavor, delicate like.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's pale gold colored. What a flavor? What a wine?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
If you want to swell white wine, you certainly want
Petree still Turn.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Try to see.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And now back to doctor Watson and tonight, sorry the
case of the out of date murder. Well, doctor you
certainly had me on the edge of my chair during
the first part of the say what happened when Sherlock
Holmes yelled out at you?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
In the case, I was struck from behind with a
spade and looked out the second later, the same thing
happened to homes. You see, we were blinded by the
lantern and couldn't protect ourselves. When we came to we
find we were at the bottom of a pit. The
wolves were that one vertigo, and I saw no earthly
way about getting out of the trap.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
But as usual home, it's fubbing.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Never mind that the roma chat put the coat off
and the shirt come on off with it. I've already
removed and I'm tied them together. Oh dear me, that
blow on your head? Mess me unusual list of dear.
I'm trying to make a kind of rope wots in
a rope to get us out of here.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Someone on the ledge above us to hold us a
still think you before from the Indian.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Rope tree, my little watchman, there's no time for you
are rather hipy handed, dru.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Why do you keep whistling out there? You've been doing
it for the bust twenty minute.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm whistling for help.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Why not shout whistle carriages further.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yea, who's gonna hear there?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That's Tommy.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I hope remember he was having a bonfire on the
tip top right, I whistles there for a nightingale. A
song i'm heard in Sussex this time of the year,
does answer it. I'm sure we'll bring him down here.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
I hope you are right.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
It seems to me that whipple and please will never
find us here. We shall mummify, just as a fucking
murderer intended.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Just to courage.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Whys not?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
It's right.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
It's Timmy setting a burning log. But I here, Tony,
I can fail, Thank you, bunny, Timmy.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I've tied these pots together to make a rope. I've
gotta throw them up ready, cat.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Good he's called it a.
Speaker 11 (19:02):
Lower it to us.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh, I shouldn't do this. They'll whip me all.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Nobody will with you today, and we both want to
give you a shame to come up and see your bunker. Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Oh that's different too, shiny shilling hill.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Lower the road here it comes a person.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Oh, I can't pull away here, splendid.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I'm a pump a you all right?
Speaker 7 (19:38):
I got it?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I God no, here I come ah, Thank goodness, we've
got out of that place.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
All right.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
I don't see the nightingale. Oh you must have him
inside your coat. Well, well, never mind, we'll all go
up to my bumpire and get warm. It's such a
pretty bonfire.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Did you ever see a finer bonfire?
Speaker 6 (20:21):
It's lovely, competing side i've seen the last couple of hours.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Just one thing's babble.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Somebody tried to burn a book in my lovely fire.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Must have been when I was off getting more wood.
I found it when I came back, and I pulled
it out of the fire and stamped on it.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
See here it is.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Well, it's the girl that we found on the bottle
in the line fits exactly Watson.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Now I begin to see daylight.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
People shouldn't burn books.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Books are nice.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Books are like birds and bonfires.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But they're nice to be near you.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Liking gave much, he calls, I get some more.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Twich that fellow's gone away for a moment. I can
see why we were tacked tonight. The murderer knew that
we were.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Going to the caves.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
He was afraid that his devilish plot wouldn't stand up under.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Your scrutiny, so he he watched us when we discovered the.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Body, and sent Whitne for the police.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
He knew he'd gotta.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Get rid of us.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And who do you think that's? Somebody is oller?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Oh, that's easy, and one person's far enough.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Does not disposed that and shifted our bodies the dead,
Sir George's brother, how do you cover?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I think didn't you observe as we entered the caves
that pick axes and wheelbellows were much in evidence.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, that's right they were.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Strength was not required under the circumstances. We were extremely
vulnerable in the darkness. Any man with a modigham up
cunnings that have disposed of us or any woman?
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Good lord, you're you're not suggesting that? Oh no, why
I head your safer. I've had the police with me
for the last time. If they couldn't find you, he
went by.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
That's true, Witto. I want you in the police to
take me to Lady Tavering's house at once.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
After that, I wished to lodge information and make a
charge of assault and possitively charged murder. And that's Lady Clavering,
is the story of how found your husband's body horror,
(22:24):
horrorble much, Who in thunder could have planned such a
devilish plot? Why did the murder attacked you and Watson? There,
my dear Whitnoel, you have the key to the murderer's identity.
The man who so cunningly conceived and executed the murder
of Sir George could never have bungled the job of
disposing of Watson on myself unless.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He had meant to bungle it. You mean he didn't
mean to kill us exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He really wished us out of the way while the
incriminating evidence was removed. Miandar, of course, I do will
recall we found it partially burnt Intimith's bonfire.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It was timmy No, no, no, my dear fellow.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Surely it's obvious one person, and only one, you, the Padari,
was the key to the murder's identity.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The man who was present when we discovered it and.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Detected the floor, Great Scott, Professor Whitnall, Witnell, you murdered.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
My brother, heaven you.
Speaker 11 (23:08):
Oh no, I did this because I love you, Helenah.
All these years There's been nothing in my life but
meant anything but you. How could I thought that that
George were out of the way, I could make you
care for me. And when I realized that you loved Harry,
I was mad with jealousy, and so I planned to
conceal George's body forever. It was a trouble plan, you
(23:29):
said to yourself, Holmes, it hadn't been for you with
for the work.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Diabolically clever withdown. But I'm afraid that no amount of
Kevin is now can prevent you from paying for your crime.
Sir George, I suggest that you instruct the police to
come in. Our work is done.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Holmes.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Look there on the point. Him is Bronpa, still burning away.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Him is a simple fellow, the simple taste.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Why you're so gloomy?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
You saw the case.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Presently highly a fellow, my, I feek in human nature
has been sadly shaken all heaven with more than a
good friend than old one heart instrumental in sending into
the gallows, very richly deserved.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yes, I know I did.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That's quite cruelly. It's depressing, just the same. Come on continue.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I walk home across the downs.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
To Harry offering you a fee.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Did you take it? No?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I didn't, but I did accept his offer of an
acre of land on the downs. Over there, under the
abby ruins, you can see them silhouetted against.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
The sky, naked land.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
What on earth would you do with there?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Well, when I retire, and I shall retire soon, I've
often thought of bee farming.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
This would be a heavenless spot for such a venture.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I can't imagine, you be keeper.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
After life spent onraveling the tangled affairs of human beings,
it would be soothing in the flight of one's days
to study the exact and predictable behavior of bees, singing masons,
building roofs of gold. Oh well, one day, perhaps, perhaps
one day.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, doctor, that was a swell story.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I'm sure glad we get together like this once a while.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Next week, why not come over earlier for dinner?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh no, I wouldn't think of having you go through
all that trouble.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
If you feel that way, well.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Say, aren't you gonna coax me to do that?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I knew I wouldn't have to coax you. It's about
to I would.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Just go to show you that two fixed stakes that
I've got frozen in my refrigerator. Oh no, oh, yes,
I'll also put aside a bottle of Petrie Burgundy.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, in which case I'll bring along a very hearty appetite.
If you'll pick the steak, I know it's good. And
when it's Petrie wine, you know that's gotta be good too.
Because the Patrick family has been making fine wine for generations.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
They've owned and operated.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
The Petrie business ever since its inception way back in
the eighteen hundred. During all that time, they've sure learned
plenty about the fine art of turning luscious grapes in clear, fragrant,
delicious wine. And they've been able to take this experience
and hand it on down from father to son, from
father to son. That's why when you want wine for
(26:23):
any occasion, you can't go wrong with a Petree wine,
because Petree took time to bring you good wine. Now,
doctor Watson, what story do you have life before us?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Next week? Well, no, see next week, mister Boutell.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
I'm good to tell you an adventure that occurred to
homes and knee in the shadowy depths of the Limehoust
district in London. It's a strange tale of death and terror.
I call the story the Eyes. Mister Layton well, doctor
will be sure not to miss it. And meanwhile, don't
you forget you promised to contribute to the National War Fund.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
National War Fund, of course, mister Bouttel, it's a must.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
The money you give to your war fund not only
helps the men and women in our armed forces, and
it not only helps our lives, but that money goes
to work right in your own community, helping make possible
many relief and welfare agencies in your own hometown. So
let's all be generous and victory give to your community.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
War fund tonight.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Sherlock Holm's Adventures, written by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher,
and is based on an incident in the Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's story The Adventure of Westeria Lodge. Mister Rathborne
appears through the courtesy of Metrogolden Mayor and mister Bruce
through the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where they are now
starring in the Sherlock Holmes series. The Petree Wine Company
of San Francisco, California invites you to tune in again
next week, same time, same station. Oh, the Petfree family
(27:46):
to the time to bring you such good wine cool
when you eat, and when you cook remember petfree wine to.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Make good food taste better. Remember what.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
This is Harry Bartel saying good night for the Petrie family.
Sher Lot Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood Studios
Distends for your Toul broadcasting chest.
This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by short wave
and through the world wide facilities of the Armed Forces
Radio Service.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Petree Wine brings you.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Lass, a laugh phone and knock the proofs the new
adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petree family, the family that
took time to bring you good wine. Invite you to
listen to Doctor Watson tell us another exciting story about
his old friend at Master, Detective Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I would also like to.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Tell you something you really ought to know, the fact
that the one sure way to make good food taste
better is to truck that good food together with a
glass of good Petree wine. Did you ever try Petree
wine with dinner? No kidding, That's one bandwagon you sure
want to hop on. Take, for instance, a deep, red,
hearty Petrie California Burgundy. Where do you taste that Petrie
(00:59):
Burgundy with let's say a delicious old fashioned beef stew,
or maybe try a glass was forgetting. I'm telling you,
when you add the luscious flavor of that Petrie Burgundy
with the flavor of your favorite foods, you're really living
you're finding out for the first time what good eating
really means on the level. So better keep a bottle
of that Petrie Burgundy right on the dining room table.
(01:21):
And never forget the best friend a good meal ever
had is a glass of Petree wine. And now for
our weekly visit with the good Doctor Watson.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
May I come in?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Doctor? You know me better than that you come in.
I'm expecting you. I always look forward to these Monday
evenings together.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
You know me too, doctor.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
In fact, I always say this is the one doctor's
appointment that never scares me.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
By.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Do up a turn? Make you so comfortable?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Thanks? And what prescription do you have in mind for
us tonight?
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Let me see, take one measure of subterranean peril, one
of aristocratic lady in distress, a sprinkling of assorted villains,
a corpse or two, and a little more than a
dash of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Take the mixture well, and you have the case of
the out of date murder?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Or how did the adventure of again Barker?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Exactly enough? It was in September of nineteen hundred.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
I remember that Holmes and I went to Eastbourne.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
For a much needed rest.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
First couple of days we spent in soothing idleness.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
On the morning of the third day, Holmes a dash
of clowdac in his cheek and the hint of the
old sparkle in his eye suggested that heould go and
call on his good friend, Evan Whitnell, curator of a
nearby museum. And so just after lunch on that September day,
found the two of us talking.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
To Pessor Evan Whitnell in his private office at the museum.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
It only seems, yet, with all your recent discoveries in
this part of things, that had made you world famous
instead of just nationally famous. My congratulations, Professor, I do
wish you tell me your.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Discovery is Pleasures of doctor Watson.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
There less than two months ago I was excavating on
the downlands in this neighborhood, when I was fortunate enough
to discover a number of underground caves, caves saturated with
a heavy deposit of line that gave clear evidence of
having the property of rapidly mummifying any flesh human animal
deposited in them.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Interesting, in what treasures have you a professor?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
A number of mummified specimens of animals carely belonging to
bygone eras. My prize specimen is the body of.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
A large wolfhound.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
The inscription on its collar identified the animal as the
having belonged to some local squire in the year seventeen
hundred and forty eight.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I didn't know that limestone.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Has the qualities of preservation.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Come in, come in, yes, allan.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
What is it lady?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You asked me to tell you that she was in
the museum. Oh, yes, yes, yes, sir, sure up here.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I'm most anxious for you both to meet her, and she,
in turn is even more anxious to meet you. I
dined with her last night, and when I told her
that you were coming today, she insisted on meeting.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No wit, no use, gangled with a twinkle in your eye.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
I suspect that Lady Lavin, this guest can help me
in my professional capacity, and that you engineered the meeting.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Perhaps I might have dropped her, won't.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
You, Professor, Homes can't become involved with another case.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
He's completely run down.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, don't worry, doctor. All that Lady Travering requires is
a little advice vice. Yes, I knew you wouldn't mind.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Homes.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Ah, Helena, my dear.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
There you are, come along in thank you, Adam. Allow
me to introduce Lady Lavin, mister Charlock Holmes, and here
you are, my dear, sit down here. May as well
tell you, Helena that our little thought has already been discovered.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Oh dear, and I was just feting ready to exert
all my feminine wild in an attempt to persuade you
to help me.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Mister Herning, I'm certain that you found at irresistible cling.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
You flattered me, but I mean it. The professor tells
me that you're in need of a little advice, Lady Laving.
Speaker 7 (05:22):
Yes, mister Holmes, I'll start questioning simply. Five years ago
my husband, Sir George Clavering left me.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Bless you, this is me.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
I haven't seen a heard tell of him since. I
now wish to remarry, but of course I couldn't do
that without having my husband declared legally dead.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
My dear, Lady Clavering, I can't help dealing with the
lawyers apartment cansult. Not a detective.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
But you're suggesting that there was found playing connection with
your husband's disappearance.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Oh no, doctor Watson.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
The Clavering.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
There a strange family, self willed and headstrong. George and
I were not happy together. I think he disappeared.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Deliberately, disappearance to the police of cause, yes it's.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Home, but they'd never been able to trace him.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
This kind of thing has happened in the family before
homes total about Nigel Helena, he.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Was one of my husbands.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
An says he walked off one day in seventeen seventy
seven was never seen again, disappearing.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Knew the legend you.
Speaker 7 (06:17):
Often threatened to do the same thing in himself.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
But your problem, Lady Clavering, is not that of your
husband's fate, but rather of your own freedom. Yes, mister Herning, well,
I'm afraid my advice can be of little consolation to you.
The law has specified a number of years that must
have left before anyone disappearing could be declared legally dead.
I would suggest that you possess your soul in patience
until that period has elapsed.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
Oh dear, and I was hoping you'll be able to
think of some terribly severe way of getting wrong the law.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Mister Holmes and Lady Clavering.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sometimes perhaps my methods may be unorthodox, but I assure
you that getting around the law, as you put it,
is a procedure.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I do not indulge in.
Speaker 7 (06:53):
Dear me, and I tend did you, mister Holmes, And
it's the last thing on earth I'm meant to do.
I assure my.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Friends a little touch about matterscerning his professional honor.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Of nonsense, my dear watn't I'm not touching. I'm not offended.
And now may I suggest we all examined the professor's
with his treasures, and after that, perhaps he'll take us
for a stroll on the darns. I'm most anxious to
examine those lime pits of his. The lime pits are
(07:28):
about miles from here. It's a nice walk across the tiptops.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I'm try a little curving.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Didn't want to come with us, this charming woman, even
though she did rub you up the wrong way.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
How beautiful woman wasn't?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But I must confess her charm and you to me,
her lext concern about her husband's fate seemed completely unnatural
and not if you'd known her husbands. Sir George Travering,
he was a tarrant and a bullet, both in his
whole life.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
And in the village.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Well, who's this coming towards us?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
It's Sir Timmy death Timmy, they call him in these parts.
He isn't quite right in the head, poor fellow, but
he's probably harmssed. Has two passions in life, birds and bonfires. Timmy,
I've got something beautiful to show you. Oh, it's so beautiful.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Well what is it, Timmy?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Look it's in my cap see. Oh isn't it laughing robins?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Egg?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I found it when I was bur nesting.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Did you see such a blue eggs beauty? Timmy?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Where did you find it?
Speaker 5 (08:27):
My boy?
Speaker 8 (08:28):
Down by the lime pits. Oh, I'm going to build
a lovely fire on the downs tonight. I'll let you
come and watch it if.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
You now, you'll be careful, Timmy, or you'll in trouble again.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Jimmy doesn't get in trouble anymore now, not since the
hats carried away.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
So George traveling, he used to Timmy when he found
him on the land.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Timmy, tell me, how did you have, sir George, as
you put it there? Carried away?
Speaker 8 (08:53):
I told my birds about him. I told them how
he used to to beat poor Timmy. And they said
it hurry him off and drop him over the cliffs.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And that's what they did. Because he never came back again.
Oh Lord, here comes Harris for his brother. Now there'll
be trouble to me. You've gotta run, No, Timmy counts run.
Your break's pretty blue?
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Eymy, Timmy, get off my land. I catch you here again.
I'll take my riding.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Kimmy hasn't done anything.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Go on beyond with If you're here, I'll tell my
part about you what I'll do.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Don't forget my bullfire Donald's handle. Hello, Hello, Hi. Have
you met Sharlock Holmes and Dr Watson? Oh the luck Holmes,
the professional Nosey Parker.
Speaker 5 (09:45):
Eh, yes, yes, Helena.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
We're just telling me about you.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I'm very angry with her, but talking to you about
my brother private affair, and I intended to remain one.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Under stand, Hans pull my soul. Never with your brother, sir,
and with you.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I advice you remember that you're not addressing a half
witted village who can't defend himself.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
If you know what's good for you, you do what
I say.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
Certain brute, he spoke to you if you were stable
by home.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
He was quite refreshing.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I'm reminded of an apposite quotation of my young friend
James L. Roy Flecker buying impudence have a monstrous beauty,
like into the hind quarters of an elephant. He's almost
as much disliked as his brother of the poem. Tell me,
does he succeed to the title when his brother is
the legally dead?
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And what's more, he's Helena's unofficial fansee worse luck I see.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Personally, I'm beginning to get trifle bored with the affairs
of the Chapping family that's gone to the line case
of him.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
These caves are amazing, must be fifty feet flow the
level of the ground.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Well more than that, I should say pack formation is
most unusual.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's getting a cave by a.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Vertical honeycomb of tunneling. Yes, I think i'll light the
lantern now. It's darkening here, and I haven't explored this
particular cave before, and so I've had a.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Wall cave in on me a couple of times. So
you'd better watch.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
Where you're walking.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Now we can see better a little deeper, shall But
do watch your stuff?
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Hmm? Getting it down here?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Well, what doesn't the cutters yet.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Look like a mammified bird of some kind.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It is a beautiful specimen, judging by its markings of
black speak here and bars white and said it was
a pelgreen. That's exactly what it is, a falcon taking
back a couple of hundred years, I should say, and
in a perfect state of preservation.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
This is a treasure.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
But come on, let's explore deeper.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Another cave over here, Oh the lord, and have a
little older Oh lord, ho, Wal's never hurt?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Are you?
Speaker 7 (12:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:11):
No, no, how I'm am all right?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Why you run earthed to another cave? Dr Watson, Let's go.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
I think we can manage to call through, all right, color, I.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Don't believe mind.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Quick, this is a pressure.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Indeed, a perfect preserved body dressed in eighteenth century costume.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Pocket with them are yes, and there's no mistaking who
it is.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Look at that typical profioly it's a Clavering and it
isn't hard to identify which one.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Don't you mean the one that Lady Helen had told
us about this afternoon?
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Exactly without doubt, this is the body of some Nigel
Old Clavering who disappeared in seventeen hundred and seventy seven.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Let's search his pockets through might find some identifications.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Here's a snuff box of the period and some coins.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
The inscription of George the third is still visible on them. Hello,
here's here's this, direy. This is unbelievable.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
What are you up to?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Holmes examining the body?
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Watson?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
This man was murdered, murdered.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
This wounds just about the heart, obviously infected with the
sharp instrument moba beer dagger.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
It is easy, interesting, an italic of experience for me.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
The opportunity to at solving an unsuspected murder committed well
over one hundred years ago. Fancy that day when you
want and see if the devil suspected his feet?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
How to read all the essence? Looks like they're peciliarity
of the ancient writing.
Speaker 6 (13:39):
They are faying I should have been saying. They are
paying in the coffee house? Is that my brother Harry
has been coveting my wife?
Speaker 3 (13:52):
This is amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
See how history repeats itself.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
It's an exact parallel that the situation existing today Harry
is curaging his tell his wife Helena, and Sir George
has not been seen for five years of an extronic incident,
if it were one.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
As it is, it's one of most engenius boards that
I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Observing appears authentic sort of the coins made, the ink
the paper of the daring. Due to the peculiar mummification
of the body, it would be almost impossible to say
how long it's been here. Overtheless, I'm convinced that this
is a recent course, and undoubtedly that of Sir George Flavering.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
What makes you so sure of? How writing the diary.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Eighteenth century used an s It looks like an F,
it is true, But never at the end of a
word you will recall Watson that you were reading h
A f han or h as hand.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
That's first the two.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I was, well, that would be incorrect in genuine eighteenth
century writing. Now, obviously it is an extremely clever at
temper to disguise the comparatively recent murder of Sir George Flaverrin.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's an incredible hose. Yeah, I believe you're right.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
What's going to do about it?
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Too?
Speaker 1 (14:59):
You and I are travel I'm gone over the body you,
my dear whit no, if you don't mind, will be
good enough to go and fetch the police.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Holmes was okay, what do you suppose of keeping the police?
Witnow must have gone over an hour. The lantern with him.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Here we are clutching in the dark of the smelly cave,
kicked it under the cliffs with the monified corps.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Who want.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Uh huh, here come Tomanton, it must have winnow and
the police widow, that's you with no.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That lantern's blanding me that you window answer contel.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Come oh, Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a second,
(16:15):
And I'm going to take that second to ask you
what do you think of when I say good food?
When you say good food to me, I can see
myself really going down on a piece of fried chicken,
but really fried, you know, crisp and sort of a
light brown. When I see that chicken, I sure want
to see some Petri California So Turned because, believe me,
Petree so Turn is a white wine. That's the wine
(16:38):
for chicken. That Petrie still Turn has a delicate kind
of flavor, delicate like.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
It's pale gold colored. What a flavor? What a wine?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
If you want to swell white wine, you certainly want
Petree still Turn.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Try to see.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And now back to doctor Watson and tonight, sorry the
case of the out of date murder. Well, doctor you
certainly had me on the edge of my chair during
the first part of the say what happened when Sherlock
Holmes yelled out at you?
Speaker 6 (17:13):
In the case, I was struck from behind with a
spade and looked out the second later, the same thing
happened to homes. You see, we were blinded by the
lantern and couldn't protect ourselves. When we came to we
find we were at the bottom of a pit. The
wolves were that one vertigo, and I saw no earthly
way about getting out of the trap.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
But as usual home, it's fubbing.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Never mind that the roma chat put the coat off
and the shirt come on off with it. I've already
removed and I'm tied them together. Oh dear me, that
blow on your head? Mess me unusual list of dear.
I'm trying to make a kind of rope wots in
a rope to get us out of here.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Someone on the ledge above us to hold us a
still think you before from the Indian.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Rope tree, my little watchman, there's no time for you
are rather hipy handed, dru.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Why do you keep whistling out there? You've been doing
it for the bust twenty minute.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm whistling for help.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Why not shout whistle carriages further.
Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yea, who's gonna hear there?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That's Tommy.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I hope remember he was having a bonfire on the
tip top right, I whistles there for a nightingale. A
song i'm heard in Sussex this time of the year,
does answer it. I'm sure we'll bring him down here.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
I hope you are right.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
It seems to me that whipple and please will never
find us here. We shall mummify, just as a fucking
murderer intended.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Just to courage.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Whys not?
Speaker 5 (18:40):
It's right.
Speaker 10 (18:41):
It's Timmy setting a burning log. But I here, Tony,
I can fail, Thank you, bunny, Timmy.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I've tied these pots together to make a rope. I've
gotta throw them up ready, cat.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Good he's called it a.
Speaker 11 (19:02):
Lower it to us.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Oh, I shouldn't do this. They'll whip me all.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Nobody will with you today, and we both want to
give you a shame to come up and see your bunker. Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Oh that's different too, shiny shilling hill.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Lower the road here it comes a person.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Oh, I can't pull away here, splendid.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
I'm a pump a you all right?
Speaker 7 (19:38):
I got it?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
I God no, here I come ah, Thank goodness, we've
got out of that place.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
All right.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
I don't see the nightingale. Oh you must have him
inside your coat. Well, well, never mind, we'll all go
up to my bumpire and get warm. It's such a
pretty bonfire.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Did you ever see a finer bonfire?
Speaker 6 (20:21):
It's lovely, competing side i've seen the last couple of hours.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Just one thing's babble.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Somebody tried to burn a book in my lovely fire.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
Must have been when I was off getting more wood.
I found it when I came back, and I pulled
it out of the fire and stamped on it.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
See here it is.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Well, it's the girl that we found on the bottle
in the line fits exactly Watson.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Now I begin to see daylight.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
People shouldn't burn books.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Books are nice.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Books are like birds and bonfires.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
But they're nice to be near you.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Liking gave much, he calls, I get some more.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
Twich that fellow's gone away for a moment. I can
see why we were tacked tonight. The murderer knew that
we were.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Going to the caves.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
He was afraid that his devilish plot wouldn't stand up under.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Your scrutiny, so he he watched us when we discovered the.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Body, and sent Whitne for the police.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
He knew he'd gotta.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
Get rid of us.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
And who do you think that's? Somebody is oller?
Speaker 3 (21:23):
Oh, that's easy, and one person's far enough.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Does not disposed that and shifted our bodies the dead,
Sir George's brother, how do you cover?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I think didn't you observe as we entered the caves
that pick axes and wheelbellows were much in evidence.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
Yeah, that's right they were.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Strength was not required under the circumstances. We were extremely
vulnerable in the darkness. Any man with a modigham up
cunnings that have disposed of us or any woman?
Speaker 12 (21:49):
Good lord, you're you're not suggesting that? Oh no, why
I head your safer. I've had the police with me
for the last time. If they couldn't find you, he
went by.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
That's true, Witto. I want you in the police to
take me to Lady Tavering's house at once.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
After that, I wished to lodge information and make a
charge of assault and possitively charged murder. And that's Lady Clavering,
is the story of how found your husband's body horror,
(22:24):
horrorble much, Who in thunder could have planned such a
devilish plot? Why did the murder attacked you and Watson? There,
my dear Whitnoel, you have the key to the murderer's identity.
The man who so cunningly conceived and executed the murder
of Sir George could never have bungled the job of
disposing of Watson on myself unless.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
He had meant to bungle it. You mean he didn't
mean to kill us exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
He really wished us out of the way while the
incriminating evidence was removed. Miandar, of course, I do will
recall we found it partially burnt Intimith's bonfire.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
It was timmy No, no, no, my dear fellow.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Surely it's obvious one person, and only one, you, the Padari,
was the key to the murder's identity.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The man who was present when we discovered it and.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Detected the floor, Great Scott, Professor Whitnall, Witnell, you murdered.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
My brother, heaven you.
Speaker 11 (23:08):
Oh no, I did this because I love you, Helenah.
All these years There's been nothing in my life but
meant anything but you. How could I thought that that
George were out of the way, I could make you
care for me. And when I realized that you loved Harry,
I was mad with jealousy, and so I planned to
conceal George's body forever. It was a trouble plan, you
(23:29):
said to yourself, Holmes, it hadn't been for you with
for the work.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Diabolically clever withdown. But I'm afraid that no amount of
Kevin is now can prevent you from paying for your crime.
Sir George, I suggest that you instruct the police to
come in. Our work is done.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Holmes.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Look there on the point. Him is Bronpa, still burning away.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Him is a simple fellow, the simple taste.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Why you're so gloomy?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
You saw the case.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Presently highly a fellow, my, I feek in human nature
has been sadly shaken all heaven with more than a
good friend than old one heart instrumental in sending into
the gallows, very richly deserved.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Yes, I know I did.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
That's quite cruelly. It's depressing, just the same. Come on continue.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
I walk home across the downs.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
To Harry offering you a fee.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Did you take it? No?
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I didn't, but I did accept his offer of an
acre of land on the downs. Over there, under the
abby ruins, you can see them silhouetted against.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
The sky, naked land.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
What on earth would you do with there?
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Well, when I retire, and I shall retire soon, I've
often thought of bee farming.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
This would be a heavenless spot for such a venture.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
I can't imagine, you be keeper.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
After life spent onraveling the tangled affairs of human beings,
it would be soothing in the flight of one's days
to study the exact and predictable behavior of bees, singing masons,
building roofs of gold. Oh well, one day, perhaps, perhaps
one day.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, doctor, that was a swell story.
Speaker 6 (25:20):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I'm sure glad we get together like this once a while.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Next week, why not come over earlier for dinner?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Oh no, I wouldn't think of having you go through
all that trouble.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
If you feel that way, well.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Say, aren't you gonna coax me to do that?
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I knew I wouldn't have to coax you. It's about
to I would.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
Just go to show you that two fixed stakes that
I've got frozen in my refrigerator. Oh no, oh, yes,
I'll also put aside a bottle of Petrie Burgundy.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Well, in which case I'll bring along a very hearty appetite.
If you'll pick the steak, I know it's good. And
when it's Petrie wine, you know that's gotta be good too.
Because the Patrick family has been making fine wine for generations.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
They've owned and operated.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
The Petrie business ever since its inception way back in
the eighteen hundred. During all that time, they've sure learned
plenty about the fine art of turning luscious grapes in clear, fragrant,
delicious wine. And they've been able to take this experience
and hand it on down from father to son, from
father to son. That's why when you want wine for
(26:23):
any occasion, you can't go wrong with a Petree wine,
because Petree took time to bring you good wine. Now,
doctor Watson, what story do you have life before us?
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Next week? Well, no, see next week, mister Boutell.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
I'm good to tell you an adventure that occurred to
homes and knee in the shadowy depths of the Limehoust
district in London. It's a strange tale of death and terror.
I call the story the Eyes. Mister Layton well, doctor
will be sure not to miss it. And meanwhile, don't
you forget you promised to contribute to the National War Fund.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
National War Fund, of course, mister Bouttel, it's a must.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
The money you give to your war fund not only
helps the men and women in our armed forces, and
it not only helps our lives, but that money goes
to work right in your own community, helping make possible
many relief and welfare agencies in your own hometown. So
let's all be generous and victory give to your community.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
War fund tonight.
