Petree Wine brings you.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Basil rock Bone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures
of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took
time to bring you good wine.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Invites you to listen.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
To doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared
with his old friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. You know,
the lives of Holmes and Watson were not always filled
with action. They spent many at quiet evening at home
in Baker Street discussing the problems of the world over
a glass of port. You know, it seems that no
wine is more expressive of friendship and hospitality than port.
(00:43):
And I'm sure there's no port wine more enjoyable than
Petrie California Port. Try a good glass of Petree Port
after dip some evening, or any time you get together
with your friends. You love the rich ruby red color
of that Petri Port. You love its smoothness and full body.
It's remarkable and wonderful flavor, a flavor that comes straight
(01:03):
from the heart of luscious hand picked grapes. Serve that
Petree Port alone, or serve it together with cake or
cookies with fruit. Yes, and serve it proudly you can,
because the name Petrie is the proudest name in the
history of American wines.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And now I'm sure our old.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Friend doctor Watson's expecting us. Let's tap on his study door.
Come in, good evening, doctor, good evenings about Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Come over here. By the far, I was just having
a cup of coffee. We don't care to join. Men.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thanks, that'll be nice to prevent you falling asleat during
my story tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
There's no chance of that, doctor. From the hint you
gave us last week, it sounded like quite a story.
It began in a circus in Paris.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You told us, Yes, my boy, the circus, colorful world, affordust.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And stank the world.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Mister Bartell, that I may tell you confidentially, always held
an irresistible fascination for me.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
When I was a youngster three two doctor. In fact,
when I was.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Eight years old, I felt des in love with a
lady bareback rider, a stunning creature who wore pink silk
tights with gold sequins on him. Unfortunately, my mother caught
me writing her proposal marriage. And I'm afraid that that's
another story than one that you probably wouldn't find really interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm sorry I would, doctor, but I think it'd be
safer to stake to your show like.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Hons'll probably right, my boy. Well, it was a winter
in the eighteen nineties and Holmes and I went to Paris.
On our second day there, Holmes suggested we tend that
night's performance as a sir royal leaders to remark. I
was delighted, mister Bartell, and shortly after nine o'clock that night,
I found myself seated by besides Holmes in a box
(02:53):
near the ringside. It was an incredibly vivid scene, even
for that city of color and light. The gay customs
of the women and the gaudy tappings of the ring
masters and towns looked like a giant teidoscope under the
blazing claire of the art lamps.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
As we sat there, a brass band nearby blared foss
some popular music of the day. Here he didn't appear
to be enjoying himself, and so I leaned across and
touched it up.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
H what is it, Watson, William?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Are very quiet homes. Aren't you having a good time?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Good time? Hoispers? Wal Chapad is just wondering where mister.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Edwards is mister Edwards, who's he extremely distinguest plant.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Mister meet us in this box at nine o'clock, clowns.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So this little excursion was on business?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
After all years, I might have learned nobody othoro.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
In your case, I think you'll be able to combine
quite a little pleasure with the business.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Can't you be a little more explicit? Home?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It comes to the ring master.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Where the predect steel.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Mademoiselle Jess, you're they arian acobas.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Old and only.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yes, I've heard of her. She's a bare back rider
and Johnson can't hell fellow. She also has quite a
reputation as a fen fetale. Three duels have been fought
over her. A young English artistan on the Grenadier God's
committed suicide ask because of her, and a famous French banker.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Is a present English in prison because her extravagances drove
into appropriate funds that did not belong to him. Yes, Watson,
she's an extremely colorful personality.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
In her home is the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
When I was eight years old, I felt volentine in
love with the lady bare back rider.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
She bought took soup tights with golden sequence on him.
But unfortunately, hose she's looking away.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
She's jumping from the back of one horse to the
other shere perky of motion.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Lady appeals to watsn't bye?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
George? Indeed, infect Holmes, I know I'm telling you if
I were a married man, And yes, hello, excellent, that's
the very reason for our attendance. That's what Heaven's name
you're talking about, Holmes. How they are?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Good evening, mister Edwards.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Home is my Jeff? How are you?
Speaker 8 (05:31):
I haven't seen you since since that affair at Windsor.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Castle when mother, excuse me, I'm mister my Cross and
this is my friend, Sir William Nigel William Night of course.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Of course, and I am mister Edwards.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
We must respect each other's incognito.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
How did you do it?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So? William? I am extremely honored to meet you, mister Edward.
How do you like yourself? Isn't she just stunning creature? Yes? Indeed,
jeus the brothers to have supper together after the performance
to Night I understand.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Well, Unfortunately I can't be there, Micraft. There some stupid
affair of damacy which I had to attend. We must
postpone the dinner until tomorrow. Very well, son, come over
to my hotel a little early and we can discuss
the whole business personally.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I think a lot of foss is being made about nothing.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
Now, if you'll excuse me, gentlemen, I must go back
and see chattel for a moment and tell her that
I can't keep off upon for tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'll see you tomorrow. Micraft, good night, sir, will you
good night?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Good nights at all?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Lal Now, Holmes, what's all this mischief? That was mister Edwards?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It was the princess Spots would be indispressionable fellow.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Mister Edwards, as you know, is extremely democratic, too much
so possibly when one considers his position and responsibilities, he's
become quite seriously involved with Mademoiselle as you tell the
lead fare back rider who has.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Just left the ring. Oh so that's it is quite naturally.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I suppose it is deeply concerned over the matter, and
I've been intrusted the delicate mission of protecting mister Edwards.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Who does yoursel giron Day know that it is too
identitatious work.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
That's the first thing that we have to find out.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It's possible that she is simply captivated by having a
rich Englishman at her feet. If one other hand she
knows who mister Edwards is, then we may be in
for greatular trouble. How are you going to find her
up by tempting her with a richer Englishman and run
with a title, That, my dear fellow, is why you
are Sir William Nigel.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You mean to Your job is to do your utmost
to steal as she sells your on day from mister Edwards.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
What do you think, Darnay Moselgi one day, come into
the evening performance.
Speaker 10 (14:19):
Yes, yes, miss Perms, I escorted her to a dressing room,
and half an hour ago mister Edwards isn't there with her.
Now at last, it seems she has used for a
poor policeman. Last night she found a threatening on her
makeup table. Since then she has been most grateful for
my company.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
A threatening letter. Any idea of whom center Pooh?
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Yes, of course, I'm afraid I had miss yours.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I told her to pay no attention.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
By the perfume of the notepaper, I recognized the center.
A jealous tightrope walker called Vet Mara. Oh poor Evet.
She would make a very period criminal.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I'm afraid. Still.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Giselle asked me to stay outside her dressing room till
the performance start.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You wish to see her? Yes?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Oh, good evening, Miss Breadber evening.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
Micraft evenings come. I look here, Micraft. I think this
little game gone far enough. Joselle has just ref here.
It's another invitation of mine. Now I know who Sir
William Nigel is and I swear I'll tell her.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Don't you think so? That the lady is hardly worth
bothering about.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I'm surely this whole incident with William proves that she's
a scheming little adventures. A fictitious title and an apparently
bottomless purse have thrown her up and her two colors.
Speaker 10 (15:26):
I could have told you the same thing with us,
such an experiment bad when we last pleasure.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
Rived Micraft, I've been a fool an idiots. Well that's
a pretty ankle, turned his head, a conceited both letters.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Just say, monsie, that you have been a man.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Who do you think?
Speaker 10 (15:40):
So?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Just going back to see yousell fro a moment, I
promise ly flowers for her.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Just a minute, Watson, I I hate to dath in
your other old chap, but the masquerade is ended.
Speaker 9 (15:53):
And then what do you mean it's just come bonger
necessary for you to impersonate Sir William Nigel or to
pay court to chase Oh.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Will well, absolute a great relief, great belief. How here's
the whole business?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Oh yes, yes, I'm sure you have. We appreciate the
sacrifices that you've made and mis rep.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yes, yes, well I must go back and see her
once more. Though we had a ronivous for tonight and
I was canceled. Don't form the thing to do, I.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Would be eminem.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Never have I seen a man more down casts. Obviously
with him by the arms business was a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And Jerry, where you boy? Not the Englishman?
Speaker 13 (16:31):
I just saw him go in.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
So she'sa's the.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
Room whom you referring, not the man that called himself
Sir William Heidels two days ago.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
He strikes me. I have to settle with him. No
man strike a YERI do not.
Speaker 10 (16:42):
Cause any more trouble fery on what I've been told.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
You totally deserved what happened here?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
He come now?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You English you, I'll here He changed you to your homes?
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Oh much? What is it?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
There's spice as a ghost. It's it's there. What's wrong?
She's dead, she's lying down her breathing room.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
Strangle strange, and only half an hour ago I spoke
with her myself. Since then I've been standing in this
corridor guarding your door at her own request. Only two
men have vented his dressing rooms instead, you, monsieur, Edwards
and you, Sir William Nagen, what are you suggesting?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You know, I am suggesting nothing.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
I am stating that these two gentlemen are to arrest
for suspicion of murder.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Doctor Watson's unusual story will continue in just a few
seconds time. I'd like to take to remind you that
one line that seems to be the outstanding favorite among
the ladies is Patrick California Muscatel. That's probably because, like
a beautiful woman, Patrick Muscatel is subtle and intriguing. Patrick
Muscatel is the color of burnished gold. And it's flavor, well,
(17:59):
it's the flavor are a big, plump muscat grapes picked
by hand, carefully and tenderly, and they're just full of wonderful,
delicious juice. If you want to show that you really
know the wine that women prefer serve Patrie Muska, tell
serve it out to dinner or later in the evening.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's wonderful and why shouldn't it be. It's a Petri wine.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Well, doctor Watson, So you and the mysterious mister Edwards
got yourself arrested on suspicion of merchant.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yes, mister Holmes did everything is part of the straighte
inspector Verne to release this, but it was useless, and
so while mister Edwards and myself were languishing in detention cells,
the local surte Holmes and the French inspector were examining
the dressing room for the dead woman.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I'm I'm sure it's same that, being as keen a
detective as you are, you must suspect to write in.
Speaker 10 (18:49):
Stephen Sir Edwards, and of course martial rooms. But that
is the danger of incognitos. If he chooses to assume
the identity of blame, Missieu Edwards Dennie mustn delisks a
blame mission.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
And you are convinced that either he or my friends
strangled Mademoiselle's froe dame of you, and I'll have to
prove to you that they didn't let me examine the
body again. No, if she'd been strangled by either of
my friends, why would her body be lying here under
the window. It's fun away from the door by which
they left this room as possible. That was nothing, No,
but it's odd, he said was a strong girl. There
(19:22):
might easily have been a struggle. Perhaps she tried to
get away through the window, and yet there are no
amunk to balance on her throat, just this piece of
very fine cord that did its deadly work.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
So Keadney cut for the knife.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Please do not remove the cordions. The body has not
yet me photograph.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Very hard for me, aren't you. You noticed, of course
that the window is open.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yes, but we have examined it.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
No outside, there were no footprints within three years of
the window. The murderer must have entered by the door
that I was watching.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yes, it would be hard even for a professional acrobat
to jump in at me. Your young friend eat it,
Marah as a typewalker, eat it. But yeah, she's certainly alibative.
He'd even sent a threatening letter and heard her express
hatred and jealous to this dead woman. It's considerable that
you could enter a room by a window without leaving
(20:13):
footprints in the snow.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Where was she at the time of the murder, I
do not know.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
I was waiting for her in the qualidor, and I
suggested we investigate her alibi at once, and after that,
inspector I must pay a visit to Pasurfe. I don't
want my friends to think that I've deserted them. Excuse me, sir, Yes,
(20:39):
Herms and a fair he looks rather black. As I
was telling you, you bet Marah the type rope walker
was able to establish completely satisfactory alibi.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Then they still suspects you or Dr Watson.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
May I ask you a very straightforward question, sir?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Of course, I can well understand that if you would
gone into the dressing room and found the woman already murdered,
you might easily be tempt to conceal the fact to
avoid a scandal involving your person. Will you swear to me, sir,
on your toy identity, that Gizelle was alive.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
When you left her?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
She was, Holmes, I swear it. Thank you.
Speaker 13 (21:10):
That's all I wanted to know, Olms.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm glad to see you. You know, I've been thinking
all this depends on Verney's evidence. Supposing he was the murderer.
He told us that Gazelle had turned him down.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
You know, I thought of that that mister Edward swears
that Gizelle was alive when he left the room, and yet.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
That means that mister Edward.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh no, no, no, no, it's unthinkable. You're not suggesting,
Holmes if I thought.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
That impossible, I confessed to the murder myself. My life
wouldn't matter if it in sects cattle like that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Great cottage, it's shatter.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
The empires heres. Will not sacrifice herself. You're as valuable
a British institution as the line himself. No, my dear fellow,
which will never sacrifice tool, not while my mind is
still capable of my mind?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
That's it. Thank you Watson. You've given me the answer.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Verbally?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Patient?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Fellow?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And half an hour you'll be out of the cellar.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
A murder will be in it. Quess questions? Why a mustyle?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I fiery answer so many questions, because you will not
yet tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You murdered she.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Held her on day? How many times I have would
tell you I did not kill her? Why should I
want to armor? Because you were jous, because she humiliated
and tormented you?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But I was not in dressing room. I have already
proved that fact.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
How am I an audition that I can kill somebody
without entering a room as gerry?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I know how you killed Jesuels youron day without its necessity.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
You're entering this room and I smiled the man, please
do to me. I don't need to tell you with
the aid of so open the window out of the area.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
What game is this?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
And I well, then I'll open the window myself. Put
your head out. Come on, So what do you see
inspect of Alnae standing.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Three yards away where you stood, and she's got your
long training whip. Don't know?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Stand there.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
The inspector isn't your skilled with a whip, but he
wants to try a little experiment.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Hold again, well, mister, well so this is a pleasant
(23:36):
change from a prison ston certain years Temes.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I can't tell you how great I am. I still
don't quite understand how you did it.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
What's in rather a roundabout waivers responsible for giving him
the clue?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Well, on more than one occasional jep, I've.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Had cause to deploy your rather florid style of writing tonight.
I was very thankful for it. When I began to
speak of the capabilities of my mind and a suddenly
I remembered the phrase of yours which you referred to
it's whipped like rapidity and accuracy.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That, of course made me think about Fierry the animal trainer.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Exactly how did he kill the poet?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, sir, he.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Stood outside the window, far enough away to leave no
incriminating footprints, called to Zel, probably persuaded that Delena then
snapped the weaponund her neck, pulling it tight and strangling her.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
And then I suppose he cut the cord and left
the body fall back into.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
The room besides snail fellow, where he found a whipstock
among his tackle, whipstock from which the lash had been cut.
The stubber flash left matched the cord around the dead
girl's throat.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Amazing business. And I don't mind telling you, fellas, I'm
very thankful to be.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Through with it. In fact, I wouldn't be all surprised
that his whole instant cures me of my love of circuses.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Oh I didn't know you had a presilection in that direction.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Oh yes, sir, Yes you don't mind. My sainto When
he was an eight years old, he fell in love
with a lady bare back rider.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Didn't you want spit?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Indeed what happened, Walter, I don't remember her name, but
she wore pizza tights with golden sequins on them.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I wrote her a rather fuckheaded lecker.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Well, doctor, that was one of the most unusual stories
you've ever told, And I might say you played a
very prominent part in that case yourself.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I suppose it is that just about your Giselle was
a beautiful girl.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Beautiful Well, I share a lot of that nickname she
gave you. Weally Well, that is, I need that dog
get embarrassed over her nickname.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Doctor. You should hear the nickname I had.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I went out to school.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
All the girls call me bottles them.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Oh, I see from boto foto bottles, some.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Nickname like a prophecy.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, they called me bottles. And now that's what I
like to talk about most bottles, bottles of Petrie wine.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I shouldn't known.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'd like to talk about Petrie wine because as far
as I'm concerned, it's the swellist wine that ever poured
from a bottle. That's because the Petrie family really knows
how to make good wine.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Well they ought to.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
They've been making good wine ever since they started the
Petrie business way back in the eighteen hundreds, and since
the Petrie family has always personally owned and operated their business,
they've been able to keep that fine art of wine
making right in the family, handing it on down from
father to son, from father to son, from generation to generation.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
So it's no wonder.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Whenever you want a good wine, you want a Petrie wine,
because Petrie took time to bring you good wine.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Well, doctor Watson, what new Sherlock.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Holmes story are you going to tell us about?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Well, this week, mister Bartel, I'm going to tell you
of the strange adventure that Holmes and I head in
the swampy fenlands of Norfolk concerned gypsy encampment. A child
had vanished and a horrible death in the murky depths
of a fearsome Quandma.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Tonight's Sherlock Holm's Adventure was written by Dennis Breen and
Anthony Boucher, and was suggested by an incident and the
artur Conan Doyle's story. The Adventure of the Three Students.
Music is by Dean Fossler. Mister Rathborne appears through the
courtesy of Metro.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Baldwin Mayor and mister Bruce through the courtesy.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Of Universal Pictures, where they are now starting in the
Sherlock Holmes series.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The Pattery Wine Company of San Francisco, California invice you
to tune in again next week, same time same station.
Sherwock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood studio. This
is Harry Bartel saying good night for the pet Tree Family.
(28:21):
Solid hour of exciting mystery dramas listen every Monday on
most of these same stations at eight o'clock to Michael Shane,
followed immediately by Sherwick Holmes.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
This is the mutual Broadcasting System.
Petree Wine brings you.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Basil rock Bone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures
of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the family that took
time to bring you good wine.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Invites you to listen.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
To doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared
with his old friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes. You know,
the lives of Holmes and Watson were not always filled
with action. They spent many at quiet evening at home
in Baker Street discussing the problems of the world over
a glass of port. You know, it seems that no
wine is more expressive of friendship and hospitality than port.
(00:43):
And I'm sure there's no port wine more enjoyable than
Petrie California Port. Try a good glass of Petree Port
after dip some evening, or any time you get together
with your friends. You love the rich ruby red color
of that Petri Port. You love its smoothness and full body.
It's remarkable and wonderful flavor, a flavor that comes straight
(01:03):
from the heart of luscious hand picked grapes. Serve that
Petree Port alone, or serve it together with cake or
cookies with fruit. Yes, and serve it proudly you can,
because the name Petrie is the proudest name in the
history of American wines.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And now I'm sure our old.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Friend doctor Watson's expecting us. Let's tap on his study door.
Come in, good evening, doctor, good evenings about Joe.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Come over here. By the far, I was just having
a cup of coffee. We don't care to join. Men.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thanks, that'll be nice to prevent you falling asleat during
my story tonight.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
There's no chance of that, doctor. From the hint you
gave us last week, it sounded like quite a story.
It began in a circus in Paris.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You told us, Yes, my boy, the circus, colorful world, affordust.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
And stank the world.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Mister Bartell, that I may tell you confidentially, always held
an irresistible fascination for me.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
When I was a youngster three two doctor. In fact,
when I was.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Eight years old, I felt des in love with a
lady bareback rider, a stunning creature who wore pink silk
tights with gold sequins on him. Unfortunately, my mother caught
me writing her proposal marriage. And I'm afraid that that's
another story than one that you probably wouldn't find really interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm sorry I would, doctor, but I think it'd be
safer to stake to your show like.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Hons'll probably right, my boy. Well, it was a winter
in the eighteen nineties and Holmes and I went to Paris.
On our second day there, Holmes suggested we tend that
night's performance as a sir royal leaders to remark. I
was delighted, mister Bartell, and shortly after nine o'clock that night,
I found myself seated by besides Holmes in a box
(02:53):
near the ringside. It was an incredibly vivid scene, even
for that city of color and light. The gay customs
of the women and the gaudy tappings of the ring
masters and towns looked like a giant teidoscope under the
blazing claire of the art lamps.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
As we sat there, a brass band nearby blared foss
some popular music of the day. Here he didn't appear
to be enjoying himself, and so I leaned across and
touched it up.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
H what is it, Watson, William?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Are very quiet homes. Aren't you having a good time?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Good time? Hoispers? Wal Chapad is just wondering where mister.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Edwards is mister Edwards, who's he extremely distinguest plant.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Mister meet us in this box at nine o'clock, clowns.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So this little excursion was on business?
Speaker 4 (03:40):
After all years, I might have learned nobody othoro.
Speaker 5 (03:42):
In your case, I think you'll be able to combine
quite a little pleasure with the business.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Can't you be a little more explicit? Home?
Speaker 4 (03:48):
It comes to the ring master.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Where the predect steel.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
Mademoiselle Jess, you're they arian acobas.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Old and only.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yes, I've heard of her. She's a bare back rider
and Johnson can't hell fellow. She also has quite a
reputation as a fen fetale. Three duels have been fought
over her. A young English artistan on the Grenadier God's
committed suicide ask because of her, and a famous French banker.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Is a present English in prison because her extravagances drove
into appropriate funds that did not belong to him. Yes, Watson,
she's an extremely colorful personality.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
In her home is the funniest thing.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
When I was eight years old, I felt volentine in
love with the lady bare back rider.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
She bought took soup tights with golden sequence on him.
But unfortunately, hose she's looking away.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
She's jumping from the back of one horse to the
other shere perky of motion.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Lady appeals to watsn't bye?
Speaker 1 (05:13):
George? Indeed, infect Holmes, I know I'm telling you if
I were a married man, And yes, hello, excellent, that's
the very reason for our attendance. That's what Heaven's name
you're talking about, Holmes. How they are?
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Good evening, mister Edwards.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Home is my Jeff? How are you?
Speaker 8 (05:31):
I haven't seen you since since that affair at Windsor.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
Castle when mother, excuse me, I'm mister my Cross and
this is my friend, Sir William Nigel William Night of course.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Of course, and I am mister Edwards.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
We must respect each other's incognito.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
How did you do it?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So? William? I am extremely honored to meet you, mister Edward.
How do you like yourself? Isn't she just stunning creature? Yes? Indeed,
jeus the brothers to have supper together after the performance
to Night I understand.
Speaker 9 (06:00):
Well, Unfortunately I can't be there, Micraft. There some stupid
affair of damacy which I had to attend. We must
postpone the dinner until tomorrow. Very well, son, come over
to my hotel a little early and we can discuss
the whole business personally.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
I think a lot of foss is being made about nothing.
Speaker 9 (06:22):
Now, if you'll excuse me, gentlemen, I must go back
and see chattel for a moment and tell her that
I can't keep off upon for tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'll see you tomorrow. Micraft, good night, sir, will you
good night?
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Good nights at all?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Lal Now, Holmes, what's all this mischief? That was mister Edwards?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
It was the princess Spots would be indispressionable fellow.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Mister Edwards, as you know, is extremely democratic, too much
so possibly when one considers his position and responsibilities, he's
become quite seriously involved with Mademoiselle as you tell the
lead fare back rider who has.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Just left the ring. Oh so that's it is quite naturally.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
I suppose it is deeply concerned over the matter, and
I've been intrusted the delicate mission of protecting mister Edwards.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Who does yoursel giron Day know that it is too
identitatious work.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
That's the first thing that we have to find out.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
It's possible that she is simply captivated by having a
rich Englishman at her feet. If one other hand she
knows who mister Edwards is, then we may be in
for greatular trouble. How are you going to find her
up by tempting her with a richer Englishman and run
with a title, That, my dear fellow, is why you
are Sir William Nigel.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
You mean to Your job is to do your utmost
to steal as she sells your on day from mister Edwards.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But don't even know the girl.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
We remedy that defect in a few minutes.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
As soon as the performance is over, my dear chap,
I shall take you to her dressing room and arrange
an introduction.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I must say, homes The backstage life in the circus
is even more colorful than in the ring.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
What makes you sad over them?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Well?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
I just saw a pin having tea with a beard
lady while the swords follower was standing behind him practicing
his act.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Hello, see that man standing talking to the culling tice.

Speaker 10 (14:19):
Yes, yes, miss Perms, I escorted her to a dressing room,
and half an hour ago mister Edwards isn't there with her.
Now at last, it seems she has used for a
poor policeman. Last night she found a threatening on her
makeup table. Since then she has been most grateful for
my company.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
A threatening letter. Any idea of whom center Pooh?
Speaker 10 (14:40):
Yes, of course, I'm afraid I had miss yours.

little game gone far enough. Joselle has just ref here.
It's another invitation of mine. Now I know who Sir
William Nigel is and I swear I'll tell her.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Don't you think so? That the lady is hardly worth
bothering about.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I'm surely this whole incident with William proves that she's
a scheming little adventures. A fictitious title and an apparently
bottomless purse have thrown her up and her two colors.
Speaker 10 (15:26):
I could have told you the same thing with us,
such an experiment bad when we last pleasure.
Speaker 9 (15:30):
Rived Micraft, I've been a fool an idiots. Well that's
a pretty ankle, turned his head, a conceited both letters.

necessary for you to impersonate Sir William Nigel or to
pay court to chase Oh.

the whole business?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Oh yes, yes, I'm sure you have. We appreciate the
sacrifices that you've made and mis rep.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Yes, yes, well I must go back and see her
once more. Though we had a ronivous for tonight and
I was canceled. Don't form the thing to do, I.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Would be eminem.
Speaker 10 (16:21):
Never have I seen a man more down casts. Obviously
with him by the arms business was a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (16:28):

Speaker 10 (16:42):
Cause any more trouble fery on what I've been told.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
You totally deserved what happened here?
Speaker 5 (16:47):
He come now?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
You English you, I'll here He changed you to your homes?
Speaker 4 (16:52):
Oh much? What is it?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
There's spice as a ghost. It's it's there. What's wrong?
She's dead, she's lying down her breathing room.
Speaker 10 (17:00):
Strangle strange, and only half an hour ago I spoke
with her myself. Since then I've been standing in this
corridor guarding your door at her own request. Only two
men have vented his dressing rooms instead, you, monsieur, Edwards
and you, Sir William Nagen, what are you suggesting?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
You know, I am suggesting nothing.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
I am stating that these two gentlemen are to arrest
for suspicion of murder.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Doctor Watson's unusual story will continue in just a few
seconds time. I'd like to take to remind you that
one line that seems to be the outstanding favorite among
the ladies is Patrick California Muscatel. That's probably because, like
a beautiful woman, Patrick Muscatel is subtle and intriguing. Patrick
Muscatel is the color of burnished gold. And it's flavor, well,
(17:59):
it's the flavor are a big, plump muscat grapes picked
by hand, carefully and tenderly, and they're just full of wonderful,
delicious juice. If you want to show that you really
know the wine that women prefer serve Patrie Muska, tell
serve it out to dinner or later in the evening.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
It's wonderful and why shouldn't it be. It's a Petri wine.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Well, doctor Watson, So you and the mysterious mister Edwards
got yourself arrested on suspicion of merchant.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yes, mister Holmes did everything is part of the straighte
inspector Verne to release this, but it was useless, and
so while mister Edwards and myself were languishing in detention cells,
the local surte Holmes and the French inspector were examining
the dressing room for the dead woman.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I'm I'm sure it's same that, being as keen a
detective as you are, you must suspect to write in.
Speaker 10 (18:49):
Stephen Sir Edwards, and of course martial rooms. But that
is the danger of incognitos. If he chooses to assume
the identity of blame, Missieu Edwards Dennie mustn delisks a
blame mission.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
And you are convinced that either he or my friends
strangled Mademoiselle's froe dame of you, and I'll have to
prove to you that they didn't let me examine the
body again. No, if she'd been strangled by either of
my friends, why would her body be lying here under
the window. It's fun away from the door by which
they left this room as possible. That was nothing, No,
but it's odd, he said was a strong girl. There
(19:22):
might easily have been a struggle. Perhaps she tried to
get away through the window, and yet there are no
amunk to balance on her throat, just this piece of
very fine cord that did its deadly work.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
So Keadney cut for the knife.
Speaker 10 (19:35):
Please do not remove the cordions. The body has not
yet me photograph.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Very hard for me, aren't you. You noticed, of course
that the window is open.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yes, but we have examined it.
Speaker 10 (19:44):
No outside, there were no footprints within three years of
the window. The murderer must have entered by the door
that I was watching.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
Yes, it would be hard even for a professional acrobat
to jump in at me. Your young friend eat it,
Marah as a typewalker, eat it. But yeah, she's certainly alibative.
He'd even sent a threatening letter and heard her express
hatred and jealous to this dead woman. It's considerable that
you could enter a room by a window without leaving
(20:13):
footprints in the snow.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Where was she at the time of the murder, I
do not know.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
I was waiting for her in the qualidor, and I
suggested we investigate her alibi at once, and after that,
inspector I must pay a visit to Pasurfe. I don't
want my friends to think that I've deserted them. Excuse me, sir, Yes,
(20:39):
Herms and a fair he looks rather black. As I
was telling you, you bet Marah the type rope walker
was able to establish completely satisfactory alibi.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
Then they still suspects you or Dr Watson.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Well, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
May I ask you a very straightforward question, sir?
Speaker 5 (20:54):
Of course, I can well understand that if you would
gone into the dressing room and found the woman already murdered,
you might easily be tempt to conceal the fact to
avoid a scandal involving your person. Will you swear to me, sir,
on your toy identity, that Gizelle was alive.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
When you left her?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
She was, Holmes, I swear it. Thank you.
Speaker 13 (21:10):
That's all I wanted to know, Olms.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm glad to see you. You know, I've been thinking
all this depends on Verney's evidence. Supposing he was the murderer.
He told us that Gazelle had turned him down.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
You know, I thought of that that mister Edward swears
that Gizelle was alive when he left the room, and yet.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
That means that mister Edward.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Oh no, no, no, no, it's unthinkable. You're not suggesting,
Holmes if I thought.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
That impossible, I confessed to the murder myself. My life
wouldn't matter if it in sects cattle like that.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Great cottage, it's shatter.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
The empires heres. Will not sacrifice herself. You're as valuable
a British institution as the line himself. No, my dear fellow,
which will never sacrifice tool, not while my mind is
still capable of my mind?
Speaker 1 (22:05):
That's it. Thank you Watson. You've given me the answer.
Speaker 7 (22:09):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Verbally?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Patient?
Speaker 3 (22:10):
Fellow?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
And half an hour you'll be out of the cellar.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
A murder will be in it. Quess questions? Why a mustyle?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
I fiery answer so many questions, because you will not
yet tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
You murdered she.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Held her on day? How many times I have would
tell you I did not kill her? Why should I
want to armor? Because you were jous, because she humiliated
and tormented you?
Speaker 1 (22:37):
But I was not in dressing room. I have already
proved that fact.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
How am I an audition that I can kill somebody
without entering a room as gerry?
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I know how you killed Jesuels youron day without its necessity.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
You're entering this room and I smiled the man, please
do to me. I don't need to tell you with
the aid of so open the window out of the area.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
What game is this?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
And I well, then I'll open the window myself. Put
your head out. Come on, So what do you see
inspect of Alnae standing.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Three yards away where you stood, and she's got your
long training whip. Don't know?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Stand there.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
The inspector isn't your skilled with a whip, but he
wants to try a little experiment.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Hold again, well, mister, well so this is a pleasant
(23:36):
change from a prison ston certain years Temes.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I can't tell you how great I am. I still
don't quite understand how you did it.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
What's in rather a roundabout waivers responsible for giving him
the clue?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Well, on more than one occasional jep, I've.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
Had cause to deploy your rather florid style of writing tonight.
I was very thankful for it. When I began to
speak of the capabilities of my mind and a suddenly
I remembered the phrase of yours which you referred to
it's whipped like rapidity and accuracy.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
That, of course made me think about Fierry the animal trainer.
Speaker 8 (24:09):
Exactly how did he kill the poet?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, sir, he.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Stood outside the window, far enough away to leave no
incriminating footprints, called to Zel, probably persuaded that Delena then
snapped the weaponund her neck, pulling it tight and strangling her.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
And then I suppose he cut the cord and left
the body fall back into.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
The room besides snail fellow, where he found a whipstock
among his tackle, whipstock from which the lash had been cut.
The stubber flash left matched the cord around the dead
girl's throat.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Amazing business. And I don't mind telling you, fellas, I'm
very thankful to be.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Through with it. In fact, I wouldn't be all surprised
that his whole instant cures me of my love of circuses.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
Oh I didn't know you had a presilection in that direction.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Oh yes, sir, Yes you don't mind. My sainto When
he was an eight years old, he fell in love
with a lady bare back rider.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Didn't you want spit?
Speaker 3 (24:58):
Indeed what happened, Walter, I don't remember her name, but
she wore pizza tights with golden sequins on them.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I wrote her a rather fuckheaded lecker.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Well, doctor, that was one of the most unusual stories
you've ever told, And I might say you played a
very prominent part in that case yourself.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I suppose it is that just about your Giselle was
a beautiful girl.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Beautiful Well, I share a lot of that nickname she
gave you. Weally Well, that is, I need that dog
get embarrassed over her nickname.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Doctor. You should hear the nickname I had.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I went out to school.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
All the girls call me bottles them.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Oh, I see from boto foto bottles, some.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
Nickname like a prophecy.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, they called me bottles. And now that's what I
like to talk about most bottles, bottles of Petrie wine.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
I shouldn't known.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
I'd like to talk about Petrie wine because as far
as I'm concerned, it's the swellist wine that ever poured
from a bottle. That's because the Petrie family really knows
how to make good wine.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Well they ought to.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
They've been making good wine ever since they started the
Petrie business way back in the eighteen hundreds, and since
the Petrie family has always personally owned and operated their business,
they've been able to keep that fine art of wine
making right in the family, handing it on down from
father to son, from father to son, from generation to generation.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
So it's no wonder.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Whenever you want a good wine, you want a Petrie wine,
because Petrie took time to bring you good wine.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Well, doctor Watson, what new Sherlock.
