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 worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service.
Petree Wine brings you Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and
the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petrie family, the
(00:26):
family that took time to bring you good wine. Invite
you to listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting
adventure he shared with his old friend, that master Detective
Sherlock Holmes.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
You know something, I had.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
An adventure tonight I wish you could have shared with me.
I had a steak about an inch and a half,
fake tender, juicy, and with it, I had a glass
of Petrie California Burgundy. Now there's a combination steak and
Petrie Burgundy. That Petrick Burgundy is a perfect meal time wine.
It's a rich red wine that's hardy and full of flavor,
(00:59):
flavor that comes right from the heart of the great.
And don't think that Patrick Burgundy is only good with steak.
It'll make a hamburger sandwich taste like a feast. To
try Patrie Burgundy with any meat or meat ditch. It's
just wonderful, and serve it proudly too, because after all,
the name Petrie is the proudest name in the history
of American wines. And now I know doctor Watson's waiting
(01:31):
for us, So let's go in and join me.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Come in, Come in, Come.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
In, good eating, doctor Watson.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
What do you needs about? Ut quite muffled up tonight?
I see overcoats, car and gloves. Slip them off from
Come and join me by the far.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Thanks doctor, it's quite a nip in the air tonight. Yes, well, doctor,
you told us last week that tonight's story centered around
the activities of a brilliant and beautiful woman.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, my boy, her name is Irene Edler, but I
never knew homes of to her by any other name
than the woman.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
She sounds a mighty intriguing.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
How did he happen to meet up with it? Well,
it was from the beginning one night. It was on
the twentieth of May in eighteen hundred and eighty eight,
to be exact. I was returning home from a visit
to a patient when my steps led me through Baker Street.
Since my marriage, I hadn't seen much of Sherlock Holmes,
and you couldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Resist stopping by it till twenty one b I'm sure,
of course I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
As I stood outside the well remembered door, I looked
up at the lighted windows and saw the tall, spare
figure of my old friend, passed twice in dark silhouette
against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly,
with his head stunk on his chest, and his hands
clasped behind him. To me, who knew every mood of
his and habit of his, his attitude and manner told
(02:47):
their own story. He was hot on the scent of
some new problem. I rang the bell, and a few
moments later found myself standing before him.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You're looking spect It is some time feeling with away
and in practice again. I see you didn't tell me
that you'd have gone back into harness.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
How did you know?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
ALLMANA my dead chap. If a gentleman walks into my
rooms smelling a bioda form with a black mark of
Knight fit of silver on his right forefinger and a
bulge on the left side of his hat to show
where he has a secreted his steposcope, I should be done. Indeed,
if I didn't pronounce him to be an active member
of the Medical Professor, just.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The same as over homes. By the way, I'm not
interrupting you, and.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You are awful, but it's a most work an interruption.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You're working on a new case.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It looks like in this letter arrived by the last
person today. It's undiad and has neither signature nor address readed.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So look there, we'll call upon you tonight at a
quarter to eight o'clock, a gentleman who deserves to consult
you upon a matter the very deepest moment. Your recent
services to one of the royal houses of Europe have
shown that you are one who may safely be trusted.
This account of you we have from more quarters received.
(03:59):
Be in your chamber then that that are, and do
not take it to miss if your visitor wears a mask.
It's got a very mysterious But do you imagine it means?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Look carefully at the note, olone, what do you use
from it?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh? No, let me think the man who wrote it
was presumably well to do. Such paper couldn't be bought
on a half a crowd of packet, and it's peculiarly
strong and stiff peculiar.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's the very word. It's non English paper at all.
Hold it up to the light. Don't you notice anything?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yes, there's a large E with a small G, and
and a large G with a small T right woven
into the text to the paper.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
What does that suggest you?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The name of the maker, no doubt, or perhaps his migra.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Now it's all Manifello. The T with the small T
stands by the zil shaft, which is the Erman the company,
and the EG that stands for Eglia. It's a German
steaking country of Bohemia, not far from Colsbad. The paper
was made in Bohemia, undoubtedly Maniflo. And the man who
wrote the note is a German. How do you know
that there the curious construction of the sentence, This account
(05:03):
of you we have from all quarters received. A Frenchman
or Russian could not have written that. It's the German
who is a discourteous to his verts. O, your count,
Now I better go alone, as you have to. Well,
I could stay, I thought, then stay old Chap. I'm
lost without my Boswell. And this says to be interesting.
I told missus Hudson to let the mask visitor come
(05:25):
upstairs unannounced. Come in you're giving, sir, you you received
as indetail coming by to sit down. This is my
friend and colleague, Dr Watson. You may say anything before
him that you can say to me, whom have I
the honor to address? You may address me as sir.
Conferen cramp do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You must excuse this mask for diarrhea. The august person
who employs me vicius his agency unknown to you, and
I may confess it right at the title by which
I have just caught myself is not exactly my own.
I'm well aware of that fact, sir. You see, mister Horner,
the matter I am about to discuss implicates the great
House of Ramstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia that hasn't escaped
(06:08):
me either, sir. In fact, if you will stake your case,
I shall be the better able to advise you. Your majesty,
How did you?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes, I am the king. Why should I attempt to
conceal it? Why? Indeed? I shall remove the mask? Yere,
mister Holmes, I have traveled incognital from for the express
purpose of consulting and break consult briefly the factsaries some
five years ago during a visitor Warsaw, I made the
acquaintance of the well known adventures. Are any Adler really?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Addler?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
We know of her, your ma look her up an
index for me, Will Watson, and it's right beside You're
on the desk there. I imagine that the name would
not be unfamiliar.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You are Abraham's acton Green Hatchet murders. The power with you.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Thank you, Irene Adler born in New Jersey in the
United States in eighteen fifty eight. Contrato the Madame Imperial
Opera Warsaw, who retired from the apoatic stage living in London.
Quite so, and here's a recent notation. Ehah, Your majesty,
as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote
(07:19):
her some compromising letters and is not desirous of getting
those letters back. Precisely so, but how was it a
secret marriage?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
None?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
No legal papers or certificates.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Then I failed to follow your majesty. If this young
lady should produce her letters to blackmailing purposes, how she'd
proved the authenticipate mister handwriting, that could be a forgery, majesty,
But it was private, notepas Sterlen My own seal imitated
my photocal court. What they are both in the photograph?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Very bad.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Your majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Did you inscribe the photographic.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Magister A Yes, Doctor Watson, I am afraid I did,
Mister Holmes. It must be recovered. Perhaps if you would not,
the photograph might be bought. She refuses to sell stolen
and her five attempts have been made twice burglars in
my pay, and sacked our house once. Be better, her
luggage when she traveled twice she has been waylaid. There
has been no result. Whom dear, it's quite a pretty
(08:14):
little problem. It is a deadly serious one to me.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You imagine what does miss Adlin tend to do with
the photograph to ruin me?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh? How well? I am about to be married to
the second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. She the
soul of delicacy, A shadow of a doubt as to
my conduct would pin the had her to an aid,
and I really i'd learn. Who threatens to send the
photograph to your council? I suppose yes, and she will
do it rather than let me marry another woman. There
(08:45):
are no links to which she would not go, and.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I'm sure you have already sent it to magic.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I am sure, now why are your master? She said
that she would send it on the day my bettle
is publicly announced. That day will be next Monday, splendid.
We had still three days yet your magicty will have
cost take London for the present, so he will find
me to Lagham Hotel registered as a conferen com just
two questions before you liveson. But it is photograph large
(09:13):
or small? Quite large and it was in a heavy frame.
I see. And what is miss Irene at London address
three only Lodge, Spenting Avenue, Saint Johnsfort. Thank you your majesty,
good night, and I trust we will soon have some
good news for you. I am placing all my fopes
in Yugista Holmes. Good night, good night, doctor a.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Good night you mother serving problem homes. I wish I
could help you.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You can, my dear Chapman, I should be glad of
your company.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
What's our first move? Homes?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
All our good night's rest? I think we'll meet here
at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then then, my dear fellow,
we will steep what we can find out about miss Irene. Adler,
later the Warsaw Imperial Opera Company, and a present residing
at Bryanny Lodge. Serpentine Avenues and John's would.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Well homes are cassy examination of Browny Lodge and prove
very illuminating.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
No visual residence that represents the essence of dignified suburbia,
that tells us very little about its owner. I think
a visit to the local public house might prove more instructive.
Commonol chap. I see the door to the coach and
horses and fighting us from across the road.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh, our disguises shouldn't cause any suspicion home.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I suggested them in the character of a couple of
stable hands. I hope that we might inspire confidence. This
is a Horsey neighborhood. There's a wonderful sympathy and premiasonry
among the fraternity here. We are better let me do
most of the talking.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, indeed, I'm sure your accent will be more convincing
than mine.

new coachman and the groom w was her first time

to you? Cham Good luck it is and thanks for.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
What's smooth homes.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Let's strolled back to Brannon Lodge, and man decided whether
to continue my investigation there or to find out something
about mister Jeffrey Norton the Dallas n If he's just
her lawyer and nothing else, it's more than likely that
she's injusted the photograph to his safe keeping.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Hello, there's a cab waiting outside of miss Audle's hurt.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Watson, Maybe mister Norton's here. We are to kate, Yes,
here comes a man hurrying down the pathway. Quick let
yourself find this post.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Listen ware too, nor Mister.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Norton tried like the devil, first hands in Greeton Street
and then to the Church of saying I'm accurring heat
for the road.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Harp us up and if you do it in twenty minutes,
my charms to Norton, hop in.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Fire and signal with the cab.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Watson when it's following, well, here.
Speaker 2 (13:47):

back behind the post again.

soffering for you if you get us there in twenty minutes.
We'll hear the restaurant to Watson's story in just a second.
But let me tell you something. If you're going to
(14:40):
have chicken for dinner tomorrow night, for any night, don't
forget to serve that chicken with Petrie California so turned.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Believe me.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Petri so turn is just about the last word in
white wines. It's quick playing, golden in color, It's delicate
and intriguing in flavor, and it's just well, you taste
it and see for yourself. He wanted delicious white wine.
You certainly want a pet treeceaor turn doctor. Once again,
you broke off your story at the most exciting point.
(15:09):
Did you and Sherlock Holmes reach that church inside the
twenty minute?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yes, miss till we did, but the other carriages were
there before us. Homes went into the church after telling
me to guard the outside. I must have waited for
ten minutes or more before mister Jeffrey Norton, the saddler,
came out, spoke a few words to each other, and
then left in their separate conveyances. A moment later, Holmes,
still dressed as a stable hand, came strolling out of
(15:32):
the church and down the steps towards me. He was
obviously very excited. What what have they left? Yes, and
separate cabs. I overheard him say that he was going
back to his office, and she said, I shall drive
out in the park and at five in this evening.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Spend it all and come on we can return to
Bake Street.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
What happened inside the church?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm married? Married. Of course, the ceremony would have been
illegal if it had been performed afternoon had accounted for
that wild to the church, jumping to the cab where
to know Godner f twenty one Pc Street.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So they got married? Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And it may abuse you to know that I acted
as witness at the ceremony.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh you didn't. Had their own.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Witness appeared up here and I was dragged into the breach.
The ride gave me the sovereign as a memento. I
think I'll wear it on my watch chain and memory
of the occasion.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
An amazing situation. Things can look better for the King,
don't there? Now that she's missus Norton, the chances are
that she won't want to expose his majesty or fra
I hope.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So what's my hope? That we can't affort tenaces? I
think the time is right for us to come to
closers with the lady.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well homes. Now that we've eaten. Perhaps you'll tell me a.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Plan with the part, my dear fellow. And while I'm
so doing, I'll proceed with the buying the makeup of
my new disguise.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Another disguise. What's the whos done?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I think the character and appearance of an amiable and
simple minded onnformist clergyman would be most suited to my
plan for entering Miss Archer's house.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Are you going to try and enter that?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I must still helone. Yes, I'm sure the photograph is there.
Miss Hadler, or rather missus Norton, will return from her
drive and park six thirty. We must be at Brian
a large tometer. What then you redeed that to me?
I've already made my arrangements. There is only one point
on which I must insist. You must not interfere. Come,
What may you understand?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'm to remain neutral.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yes, there will be some small unpleasantness. Don't join in it. Blendy.
My being conveyed into the house as soon as I'm
able to is slope one of the windows. You have
to watch me outside. When I raise my hand, you
will throw an object which I shall give you through
the window at the same time. Quite fire.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Follow me tell over to one of.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Our throw or something veryformable.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Here it is huh, looks a great big cigar. What
is it?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's an ordinary plumbers smoke rocket fit it for a
cap at each end to make it so flighting. Our
task is confined to throwing it through the window. When
you raise the cry fire, it will take up my
quite a number of people. We then walk to the
end of the street and I'll rejoin you in ties.
I hope that made myself clear, perfect quick, and I
will pull up as soon as i John my ericle attire.
Let's be away. There's no time to be lost.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's nearly six thirty homes. We've been pacing up and
down in front of her house half an hour. I
hope she does come back.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm sure she will.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
There seem to be a lot of loafers hanging around
her game a part.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Of my conspiracy old chap. You'll see them play their
parts in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You still think the photograph is inside.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
The house, I'm sure of it. It's most unlikely that
she carries it about to them. Remember the king told
us it was a large frame picture. And also remember
that she plan to use it within a few days.
It must be where she can lay her hands on it.
It might be inside her house.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Her house has been burgled twice.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Say don't have a look.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
How will you look?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I won't. I'll get her to show me.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
She refuse.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
You won't be able to now, Remember Watson carry.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Out my orders to the letter.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
You can truss me.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Though, limey here comes that get away?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
He put out the carpet.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
She might say, don't touch step away? He take? How
better to let me through? I live here?
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Well, are you back none?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
We'll all come in and have a tope.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Move out of the way, peas and get the lated through.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Pins your own business, go to Colin center round. Why
you can't pull off fun away right and take that?
No fight about it? I tell you to stop molesting
the lady.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Do then? How would you like? I'm fipping?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
And oh he hits the poone man and then he
ran away.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
The coward hits the great man badly hurt. He is it?
May money, Phil, if you ask me, he's and he's
bleeding something terrible. Can you bring him in?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Mom?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
He can't lie hereless sleet? Why of course bringing me? Right?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
You are?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Mom?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yea right out? Give me anyway? Two, poor fellow. Do
you see what happened to him? Mister?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yes, I saw my woman, very convincing demonstration. Weren't you
paid by a certain gentleman for this performance?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh? Jenny's about it too.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You must be a friend of mister Sherlock.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I am no, gentlemen, you give us five brother piece.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That did not work.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You can't throw yet though, we got to start yelling.
How when somebody tells us I'm not some of them
a little.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
There's mister Holmes. Are he's inside the house.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes, he's got near the window.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Now he's raising his hand. That's my signal, now to
throw the rocket. There we are a Holmes leo. You
(20:53):
have photographs?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
No, I know where it is. She showed me as
I told you she would.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm still in the dark.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
There's no miss George Chap. When I come as this
started around the street, I had a little moist red
paint in my hand. As my good friend Alfie pretended
to strike me, I clapped my hand to my head
and fell down.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's not trick, so stand that. But how did my
throwing the rocket help you?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It was all important, my dear fellow. When a woman
thinks her home is on fire, her instinct is at
wants to rush to the thing she values. Most married
woman grabs her baby, and unmarried which is for her
jewel box. In this case, of course, it was the photograph.
Where was it in a recess in the living room
just about the right hand doppole. I caught a glimpse
of it as she half threw it out. When I
(21:33):
made it known that the farmer is a false alarm,
she replaced the photograph as soon as I was able.
I assured her that I was feeling well enough to leave.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
You didn't take the photographer?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
No, I felt that over precipitance, that this stage might
ruin everything.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
What do we do now?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Drive to the Langhamoe Telle and inform his majest of
what has happened, then returned with him firm after that,
my dead.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Chap, the case will be ended, missus Barney Lodge.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Now I'm I am all impatience yourself and this photograph
will still be there, Mister Holmes, I have every reason
to believe so, your majesty, I must confess this is
going to be something of an ordeal, and I suggested
to let me do the talking, your majesty. I think
I know how to handle the lady, Mister Sherlock Holmes ugly, Yes,
(22:40):
I am, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
How I do know?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Just told me that she would be likely to call.
She has left for the continent with her husband. You
means she's her Finion never took return then the papers
and the photograph or this lost mister Holmes. Listen see
followed me.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
She said, took you for something.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I hope you find it. This was about Paul. There's
a sliding channel behind the summer. Here it is, he said,
it's the photographs. Dames, there is a photograph, but it's
a photograph of the lady alone. Here's a letter, and
(23:20):
it's addressed to me. You want to say home, my
dear mister Sherlock Holmes. You really did it very well.
Until after the fire alarm, I had no suspicion. But then,
when I realized how I had betrayed myself, I began
to think I'd been warned that if the King employed
an agent, it would certainly be you. May I congratulate
you on your disguise as the dear old pleasure right.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Got you for much new films.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, here go on? What else does you see? Let
me see? My husband and I both thought that the
best recourse was fight, So you will find best empty
As to the photograph of the King and yourself, His
majesty may rest in peace, Thank goodness for that. I
love and am loved by a better man than he.
I leave another photgraph, however, that you might care to possess,
(24:06):
And I remain dear mister Sherlock Holmes, very truly yours.
I really not nay aDNA. What a woman?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What what?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
What a magnificent woman? She pooled me completely. But oh
I'm sorry, your majesty. I I've been unable to bring
your business to a more successful conclusion. And the contrary,
my dear sir, nothing could be more successful. I know
that Irene's world is in violent The incriminating photograph is
now as safe as if it were in the fire.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm glad to hear your master say, sir, I.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Am immensely indebted to you. Now, pray tell me in
what way I can reward you. This, the ring that
I wear, I should be, majesty has something that I
should value, even mildly. You have for to name it
this photograph Id's photograph. But certainly, however, you must let
me give you something more substant, Majesty. This is something
(25:01):
I saw treasure all my life. This as a golden
sovereign I received from the lady's hand. They will remind
me that I was once strict by a woman, a
woman that I shall never forget. What a woman that
(25:23):
missus Adley, Why should I say missus Norton.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Ah, that's the kind of woman.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I could really go for it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Doctor, You could just between our souls, you know. I
sort of well, I sort of could go for him.
So she is intelligent. Yeah, she was rich, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
That's the kind of woman you want sitting next to
you in front of a cozy fire on a nippy
fall night, just the three of you, three mm hmm
you she and a glass of Pattery Port just more
I That Patrick California Port is some wine. Why that
Patrick family really knows how to make good wine, all right?
And no one look at all the experience they've had
(26:02):
ever since they started the Patrick business way back in
the eighteen hundreds, the Petrie family has handed down from
father to son, from father to son, the art of
selecting perfect sun rife in California grapes and making them
the clear, fragrant, delicious wine. Those letters P E t
R I on the label of every bottle of Petrie
(26:22):
wine are the per assurance of the Petrie family that
every drop of wine in that bottle is good wine.
It's got to be because Petrie took time to bring
you good wine. Well, doctor Watson, that was a great
story you told me.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I would like it, mister Botel. That's why plan to
tell you a sequel to it next week. A sequel
that sounds exciting, though, why I think you will find
it it proves to be that, mister Botel. It's a
story that takes place twenty years after Night's adventure, and
once again the principal part is played by a woman.
Only in this case it isn't Irene Adler, it's her
daughter who and now, mister Bartel. Before I go, I
(27:00):
want to remind our listeners that they owe a real
get of gratitude selective service boards in their communities. At
this moment, those selective service boards are working harder than
ever making sure that every returning veteran knows his rights
and privileges, and the boards are helping him take full
advantage of those rights and privileges, and they're helping our
(27:20):
veterans get jobs. Our selective service boards deserve our sincere
thanks and they deserve our cooperation. They have done and
they are doing a spender job.
Speaker 1 (27:36):

Speaker 2 (00:37):
You know something, I had.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
An adventure tonight I wish you could have shared with me.
I had a steak about an inch and a half,
fake tender, juicy, and with it, I had a glass
of Petrie California Burgundy. Now there's a combination steak and
Petrie Burgundy. That Petrick Burgundy is a perfect meal time wine.
It's a rich red wine that's hardy and full of flavor,
(00:59):
flavor that comes right from the heart of the great.
And don't think that Patrick Burgundy is only good with steak.
It'll make a hamburger sandwich taste like a feast. To
try Patrie Burgundy with any meat or meat ditch. It's
just wonderful, and serve it proudly too, because after all,
the name Petrie is the proudest name in the history
of American wines. And now I know doctor Watson's waiting
(01:31):

In, good eating, doctor Watson.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
What do you needs about? Ut quite muffled up tonight?
I see overcoats, car and gloves. Slip them off from
Come and join me by the far.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Thanks doctor, it's quite a nip in the air tonight. Yes, well, doctor,
you told us last week that tonight's story centered around
the activities of a brilliant and beautiful woman.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yes, my boy, her name is Irene Edler, but I
never knew homes of to her by any other name
than the woman.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
She sounds a mighty intriguing.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
How did he happen to meet up with it? Well,
it was from the beginning one night. It was on
the twentieth of May in eighteen hundred and eighty eight,
to be exact. I was returning home from a visit
to a patient when my steps led me through Baker Street.
Since my marriage, I hadn't seen much of Sherlock Holmes,
and you couldn't.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Resist stopping by it till twenty one b I'm sure,
of course I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
As I stood outside the well remembered door, I looked
up at the lighted windows and saw the tall, spare
figure of my old friend, passed twice in dark silhouette
against the blind. He was pacing the room swiftly, eagerly,
with his head stunk on his chest, and his hands
clasped behind him. To me, who knew every mood of
his and habit of his, his attitude and manner told
(02:47):
their own story. He was hot on the scent of
some new problem. I rang the bell, and a few
moments later found myself standing before him.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You're looking spect It is some time feeling with away
and in practice again. I see you didn't tell me
that you'd have gone back into harness.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
How did you know?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
ALLMANA my dead chap. If a gentleman walks into my
rooms smelling a bioda form with a black mark of
Knight fit of silver on his right forefinger and a
bulge on the left side of his hat to show
where he has a secreted his steposcope, I should be done. Indeed,
if I didn't pronounce him to be an active member
of the Medical Professor, just.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The same as over homes. By the way, I'm not
interrupting you, and.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
You are awful, but it's a most work an interruption.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
You're working on a new case.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It looks like in this letter arrived by the last
person today. It's undiad and has neither signature nor address readed.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
So look there, we'll call upon you tonight at a
quarter to eight o'clock, a gentleman who deserves to consult
you upon a matter the very deepest moment. Your recent
services to one of the royal houses of Europe have
shown that you are one who may safely be trusted.
This account of you we have from more quarters received.
(03:59):
Be in your chamber then that that are, and do
not take it to miss if your visitor wears a mask.
It's got a very mysterious But do you imagine it means?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Look carefully at the note, olone, what do you use
from it?
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Oh? No, let me think the man who wrote it
was presumably well to do. Such paper couldn't be bought
on a half a crowd of packet, and it's peculiarly
strong and stiff peculiar.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's the very word. It's non English paper at all.
Hold it up to the light. Don't you notice anything?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yes, there's a large E with a small G, and
and a large G with a small T right woven
into the text to the paper.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
What does that suggest you?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
The name of the maker, no doubt, or perhaps his migra.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Now it's all Manifello. The T with the small T
stands by the zil shaft, which is the Erman the company,
and the EG that stands for Eglia. It's a German
steaking country of Bohemia, not far from Colsbad. The paper
was made in Bohemia, undoubtedly Maniflo. And the man who
wrote the note is a German. How do you know
that there the curious construction of the sentence, This account
(05:03):
of you we have from all quarters received. A Frenchman
or Russian could not have written that. It's the German
who is a discourteous to his verts. O, your count,
Now I better go alone, as you have to. Well,
I could stay, I thought, then stay old Chap. I'm
lost without my Boswell. And this says to be interesting.
I told missus Hudson to let the mask visitor come
(05:25):
upstairs unannounced. Come in you're giving, sir, you you received
as indetail coming by to sit down. This is my
friend and colleague, Dr Watson. You may say anything before
him that you can say to me, whom have I
the honor to address? You may address me as sir.
Conferen cramp do you do?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You must excuse this mask for diarrhea. The august person
who employs me vicius his agency unknown to you, and
I may confess it right at the title by which
I have just caught myself is not exactly my own.
I'm well aware of that fact, sir. You see, mister Horner,
the matter I am about to discuss implicates the great
House of Ramstein, hereditary kings of Bohemia that hasn't escaped
(06:08):
me either, sir. In fact, if you will stake your case,
I shall be the better able to advise you. Your majesty,
How did you?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yes, I am the king. Why should I attempt to
conceal it? Why? Indeed? I shall remove the mask? Yere,
mister Holmes, I have traveled incognital from for the express
purpose of consulting and break consult briefly the factsaries some
five years ago during a visitor Warsaw, I made the
acquaintance of the well known adventures. Are any Adler really?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Addler?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
We know of her, your ma look her up an
index for me, Will Watson, and it's right beside You're
on the desk there. I imagine that the name would
not be unfamiliar.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You are Abraham's acton Green Hatchet murders. The power with you.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Thank you, Irene Adler born in New Jersey in the
United States in eighteen fifty eight. Contrato the Madame Imperial
Opera Warsaw, who retired from the apoatic stage living in London.
Quite so, and here's a recent notation. Ehah, Your majesty,
as I understand, became entangled with this young person, wrote
(07:19):
her some compromising letters and is not desirous of getting
those letters back. Precisely so, but how was it a
secret marriage?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
None?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
No legal papers or certificates.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Then I failed to follow your majesty. If this young
lady should produce her letters to blackmailing purposes, how she'd
proved the authenticipate mister handwriting, that could be a forgery, majesty,
But it was private, notepas Sterlen My own seal imitated
my photocal court. What they are both in the photograph?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Very bad.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Your majesty has indeed committed an indiscretion.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Did you inscribe the photographic.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Magister A Yes, Doctor Watson, I am afraid I did,
Mister Holmes. It must be recovered. Perhaps if you would not,
the photograph might be bought. She refuses to sell stolen
and her five attempts have been made twice burglars in
my pay, and sacked our house once. Be better, her
luggage when she traveled twice she has been waylaid. There
has been no result. Whom dear, it's quite a pretty
(08:14):
little problem. It is a deadly serious one to me.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
You imagine what does miss Adlin tend to do with
the photograph to ruin me?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Oh? How well? I am about to be married to
the second daughter of the King of Scandinavia. She the
soul of delicacy, A shadow of a doubt as to
my conduct would pin the had her to an aid,
and I really i'd learn. Who threatens to send the
photograph to your council? I suppose yes, and she will
do it rather than let me marry another woman. There
(08:45):
are no links to which she would not go, and.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
I'm sure you have already sent it to magic.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I am sure, now why are your master? She said
that she would send it on the day my bettle
is publicly announced. That day will be next Monday, splendid.
We had still three days yet your magicty will have
cost take London for the present, so he will find
me to Lagham Hotel registered as a conferen com just
two questions before you liveson. But it is photograph large
(09:13):
or small? Quite large and it was in a heavy frame.
I see. And what is miss Irene at London address
three only Lodge, Spenting Avenue, Saint Johnsfort. Thank you your majesty,
good night, and I trust we will soon have some
good news for you. I am placing all my fopes
in Yugista Holmes. Good night, good night, doctor a.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Good night you mother serving problem homes. I wish I
could help you.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
You can, my dear Chapman, I should be glad of
your company.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
What's our first move? Homes?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
All our good night's rest? I think we'll meet here
at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then then, my dear fellow,
we will steep what we can find out about miss Irene. Adler,
later the Warsaw Imperial Opera Company, and a present residing
at Bryanny Lodge. Serpentine Avenues and John's would.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Well homes are cassy examination of Browny Lodge and prove
very illuminating.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
No visual residence that represents the essence of dignified suburbia,
that tells us very little about its owner. I think
a visit to the local public house might prove more instructive.
Commonol chap. I see the door to the coach and
horses and fighting us from across the road.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Oh, our disguises shouldn't cause any suspicion home.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I suggested them in the character of a couple of
stable hands. I hope that we might inspire confidence. This
is a Horsey neighborhood. There's a wonderful sympathy and premiasonry
among the fraternity here. We are better let me do
most of the talking.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Well, indeed, I'm sure your accent will be more convincing
than mine.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well what the Olympic makers? Half about the mile?
Speaker 2 (11:08):

Speaker 1 (11:08):
How about you Johnie, I'll have say two halves of
old and miles. Well, you are mates, There'll be a
canner every drink with us.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1 (11:33):

at you hunting to job. That's right. We must tell
that miss Idler, of course, and Briany Large needed a
new coachman and the groom w was her first time
word of it might be true.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Have you been over there to while?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Not yet, we thought we find out something about the
old girl.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
First.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
She ain't no old girl, baby.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
She's the prettiest young thing.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
You ever go under a bonnet, and that's affect you

to you? Cham Good luck it is and thanks for.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
What's smooth homes.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Let's strolled back to Brannon Lodge, and man decided whether
to continue my investigation there or to find out something
about mister Jeffrey Norton the Dallas n If he's just
her lawyer and nothing else, it's more than likely that
she's injusted the photograph to his safe keeping.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Hello, there's a cab waiting outside of miss Audle's hurt.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Watson, Maybe mister Norton's here. We are to kate, Yes,
here comes a man hurrying down the pathway. Quick let
yourself find this post.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Listen ware too, nor Mister.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Norton tried like the devil, first hands in Greeton Street
and then to the Church of saying I'm accurring heat
for the road.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Harp us up and if you do it in twenty minutes,
my charms to Norton, hop in.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Fire and signal with the cab.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Watson when it's following, well, here.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Comes one chillsn't it's it's a private care in.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Its heartless no doubt, because she comes on the pathway
back behind the post again.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Watson ware too much.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I here to take monitors, John and half solving if

to governor, said Monika the Edgebury Road, and another half
(14:19):
soffering for you if you get us there in twenty minutes.
We'll hear the restaurant to Watson's story in just a second.
But let me tell you something. If you're going to
(14:40):
have chicken for dinner tomorrow night, for any night, don't
forget to serve that chicken with Petrie California so turned.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Believe me.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Petri so turn is just about the last word in
white wines. It's quick playing, golden in color, It's delicate
and intriguing in flavor, and it's just well, you taste
it and see for yourself. He wanted delicious white wine.
You certainly want a pet treeceaor turn doctor. Once again,
you broke off your story at the most exciting point.
(15:09):
Did you and Sherlock Holmes reach that church inside the
twenty minute?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yes, miss till we did, but the other carriages were
there before us. Homes went into the church after telling
me to guard the outside. I must have waited for
ten minutes or more before mister Jeffrey Norton, the saddler,
came out, spoke a few words to each other, and
then left in their separate conveyances. A moment later, Holmes,
still dressed as a stable hand, came strolling out of
(15:32):
the church and down the steps towards me. He was
obviously very excited. What what have they left? Yes, and
separate cabs. I overheard him say that he was going
back to his office, and she said, I shall drive
out in the park and at five in this evening.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Spend it all and come on we can return to
Bake Street.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
What happened inside the church?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm married? Married. Of course, the ceremony would have been
illegal if it had been performed afternoon had accounted for
that wild to the church, jumping to the cab where
to know Godner f twenty one Pc Street.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
So they got married? Yes?
Speaker 1 (16:08):
And it may abuse you to know that I acted
as witness at the ceremony.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Oh you didn't. Had their own.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Witness appeared up here and I was dragged into the breach.
The ride gave me the sovereign as a memento. I
think I'll wear it on my watch chain and memory
of the occasion.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
An amazing situation. Things can look better for the King,
don't there? Now that she's missus Norton, the chances are
that she won't want to expose his majesty or fra
I hope.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
So what's my hope? That we can't affort tenaces? I
think the time is right for us to come to
closers with the lady.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well homes. Now that we've eaten. Perhaps you'll tell me a.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Plan with the part, my dear fellow. And while I'm
so doing, I'll proceed with the buying the makeup of
my new disguise.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Another disguise. What's the whos done?
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I think the character and appearance of an amiable and
simple minded onnformist clergyman would be most suited to my
plan for entering Miss Archer's house.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Are you going to try and enter that?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I must still helone. Yes, I'm sure the photograph is there.
Miss Hadler, or rather missus Norton, will return from her
drive and park six thirty. We must be at Brian
a large tometer. What then you redeed that to me?
I've already made my arrangements. There is only one point
on which I must insist. You must not interfere. Come,
What may you understand?
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'm to remain neutral.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Yes, there will be some small unpleasantness. Don't join in it. Blendy.
My being conveyed into the house as soon as I'm
able to is slope one of the windows. You have
to watch me outside. When I raise my hand, you
will throw an object which I shall give you through
the window at the same time. Quite fire.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Follow me tell over to one of.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Our throw or something veryformable.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Here it is huh, looks a great big cigar. What
is it?
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That's an ordinary plumbers smoke rocket fit it for a
cap at each end to make it so flighting. Our
task is confined to throwing it through the window. When
you raise the cry fire, it will take up my
quite a number of people. We then walk to the
end of the street and I'll rejoin you in ties.
I hope that made myself clear, perfect quick, and I
will pull up as soon as i John my ericle attire.
Let's be away. There's no time to be lost.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's nearly six thirty homes. We've been pacing up and
down in front of her house half an hour. I
hope she does come back.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I'm sure she will.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
There seem to be a lot of loafers hanging around
her game a part.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Of my conspiracy old chap. You'll see them play their
parts in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You still think the photograph is inside.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
The house, I'm sure of it. It's most unlikely that
she carries it about to them. Remember the king told
us it was a large frame picture. And also remember
that she plan to use it within a few days.
It must be where she can lay her hands on it.
It might be inside her house.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Her house has been burgled twice.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Say don't have a look.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
How will you look?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
I won't. I'll get her to show me.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
She refuse.
Speaker 1 (18:53):

No fight about it? I tell you to stop molesting

Yea right out? Give me anyway? Two, poor fellow. Do

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yes, I saw my woman, very convincing demonstration. Weren't you
paid by a certain gentleman for this performance?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh? Jenny's about it too.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You must be a friend of mister Sherlock.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I am no, gentlemen, you give us five brother piece.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
That did not work.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You can't throw yet though, we got to start yelling.
How when somebody tells us I'm not some of them
a little.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
There's mister Holmes. Are he's inside the house.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes, he's got near the window.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Now he's raising his hand. That's my signal, now to
throw the rocket. There we are a Holmes leo. You
(20:53):
have photographs?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
No, I know where it is. She showed me as
I told you she would.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I'm still in the dark.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
There's no miss George Chap. When I come as this
started around the street, I had a little moist red
paint in my hand. As my good friend Alfie pretended
to strike me, I clapped my hand to my head
and fell down.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's not trick, so stand that. But how did my
throwing the rocket help you?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It was all important, my dear fellow. When a woman
thinks her home is on fire, her instinct is at
wants to rush to the thing she values. Most married
woman grabs her baby, and unmarried which is for her
jewel box. In this case, of course, it was the photograph.
Where was it in a recess in the living room
just about the right hand doppole. I caught a glimpse
of it as she half threw it out. When I
(21:33):
made it known that the farmer is a false alarm,
she replaced the photograph as soon as I was able.
I assured her that I was feeling well enough to leave.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
You didn't take the photographer?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
No, I felt that over precipitance, that this stage might
ruin everything.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
What do we do now?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Drive to the Langhamoe Telle and inform his majest of
what has happened, then returned with him firm after that,
my dead.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Chap, the case will be ended, missus Barney Lodge.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Now I'm I am all impatience yourself and this photograph
will still be there, Mister Holmes, I have every reason
to believe so, your majesty, I must confess this is
going to be something of an ordeal, and I suggested
to let me do the talking, your majesty. I think
I know how to handle the lady, Mister Sherlock Holmes ugly, Yes,
(22:40):
I am, mister Holmes.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
How I do know?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Just told me that she would be likely to call.
She has left for the continent with her husband. You
means she's her Finion never took return then the papers
and the photograph or this lost mister Holmes. Listen see
followed me.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
She said, took you for something.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I hope you find it. This was about Paul. There's
a sliding channel behind the summer. Here it is, he said,
it's the photographs. Dames, there is a photograph, but it's
a photograph of the lady alone. Here's a letter, and
(23:20):
it's addressed to me. You want to say home, my
dear mister Sherlock Holmes. You really did it very well.
Until after the fire alarm, I had no suspicion. But then,
when I realized how I had betrayed myself, I began
to think I'd been warned that if the King employed
an agent, it would certainly be you. May I congratulate
you on your disguise as the dear old pleasure right.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Got you for much new films.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, here go on? What else does you see? Let
me see? My husband and I both thought that the
best recourse was fight, So you will find best empty
As to the photograph of the King and yourself, His
majesty may rest in peace, Thank goodness for that. I
love and am loved by a better man than he.
I leave another photgraph, however, that you might care to possess,
(24:06):
And I remain dear mister Sherlock Holmes, very truly yours.
I really not nay aDNA. What a woman?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What what?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
What a magnificent woman? She pooled me completely. But oh
I'm sorry, your majesty. I I've been unable to bring
your business to a more successful conclusion. And the contrary,
my dear sir, nothing could be more successful. I know
that Irene's world is in violent The incriminating photograph is
now as safe as if it were in the fire.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
I'm glad to hear your master say, sir, I.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Am immensely indebted to you. Now, pray tell me in
what way I can reward you. This, the ring that
I wear, I should be, majesty has something that I
should value, even mildly. You have for to name it
this photograph Id's photograph. But certainly, however, you must let
me give you something more substant, Majesty. This is something
(25:01):
I saw treasure all my life. This as a golden
sovereign I received from the lady's hand. They will remind
me that I was once strict by a woman, a
woman that I shall never forget. What a woman that
(25:23):
missus Adley, Why should I say missus Norton.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Ah, that's the kind of woman.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I could really go for it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Doctor, You could just between our souls, you know. I
sort of well, I sort of could go for him.
So she is intelligent. Yeah, she was rich, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
That's the kind of woman you want sitting next to
you in front of a cozy fire on a nippy
fall night, just the three of you, three mm hmm
you she and a glass of Pattery Port just more
I That Patrick California Port is some wine. Why that
Patrick family really knows how to make good wine, all right?
And no one look at all the experience they've had
(26:02):
ever since they started the Patrick business way back in
the eighteen hundreds, the Petrie family has handed down from
father to son, from father to son, the art of
selecting perfect sun rife in California grapes and making them
the clear, fragrant, delicious wine. Those letters P E t
R I on the label of every bottle of Petrie
(26:22):
wine are the per assurance of the Petrie family that
every drop of wine in that bottle is good wine.
It's got to be because Petrie took time to bring
you good wine. Well, doctor Watson, that was a great
story you told me.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I would like it, mister Botel. That's why plan to
tell you a sequel to it next week. A sequel
that sounds exciting, though, why I think you will find
it it proves to be that, mister Botel. It's a
story that takes place twenty years after Night's adventure, and
once again the principal part is played by a woman.
Only in this case it isn't Irene Adler, it's her
daughter who and now, mister Bartel. Before I go, I
(27:00):
want to remind our listeners that they owe a real
get of gratitude selective service boards in their communities. At
this moment, those selective service boards are working harder than
ever making sure that every returning veteran knows his rights
and privileges, and the boards are helping him take full
advantage of those rights and privileges, and they're helping our
(27:20):
veterans get jobs. Our selective service boards deserve our sincere
thanks and they deserve our cooperation. They have done and
they are doing a spender job.
