Sherlock Holmes Radio The Mazarin Stone Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Tom Conway · Meine Liebe zu Hörspielen

0:00
Speaker 1: Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes,
0:03
created by Sir Arthur Colan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed
0:07
by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the
0:11
dramatizations are by Edith Miser.
0:17
Speaker 2: Well.
0:17
Speaker 3: Here we are again in doctor Watson's study.
0:19
Speaker 1: We find him seated in a large armchair in front
0:22
of a crackling fire.
0:23
Speaker 2: Good evening, mister Henry. Good evening, doctor Watson.
0:25
Speaker 4: Now don't get up.
0:26
Speaker 1: You look very comfortable right where you are, and from
0:28
the rightness of your cheeks, i'd say you've had a
0:30
good day off in the country somewhere.
0:32
Speaker 2: That's where you are wrong, mister Harrison.
0:34
Speaker 5: I've been doing museums most of the day and it's
0:37
very tading works, especially with two small boys.
0:40
Speaker 2: Internally, I should think so. But where did you collect
0:42
the kindergarten, doctor, which was abrasive?
0:44
Speaker 5: Nephews of mine I was helping along with that education
0:47
in her It's a customer in my families that the
0:50
uncles must take the nephews museum visiting once here having
0:54
mender as a boy being dragged from miles of our galleries.
0:57
Speaker 4: But doctor weren't you ever taken to the British music.
1:00
Speaker 5: Oh, yes, and to Madame Trussell's. But the Tar of
1:03
London was my favorite. The uncle who took me there
1:06
was quite a fancier of precious stones. He explained the
1:10
history of every jewel in the Crown's collection.
1:12
Speaker 1: That must have been an education in itself, they say,
1:15
every famous gem, he's a trail of bloodshed and high
1:17
adventure across the pages of history. And by the way,
1:20
isn't your story tonight about a famous jewel?
1:22
Speaker 2: Oh?
1:22
Speaker 5: Yes, that is what reminded me so strong. You have
1:25
my boyhood visits to the Tar. The famous Mazarin stone
1:28
I'm going to tell you about had a history that
1:31
would make your hair curl him me a little? Did
1:34
I think when I saw it as a boy that
1:36
I would ever hold that great yellow beauty?
1:38
Speaker 3: In Marin and Fritz Garten?
1:40
Speaker 4: Did you, doctor?
1:41
Speaker 2: Oh?
1:41
Speaker 5: Before I tell you that, mister Haris, suppose I give
1:44
you a few moments to see a few words about
1:46
our sponsor's most estimable product.
1:48
Speaker 1: Thank you, doctor Watson. As you put it, sir, it
1:51
is indeed an estimable product. So esteam, may I say
1:54
that beginning in nineteen forty eight over one thousand leading
1:58
stories from coast to coast are clipper craft dealers. To
2:02
be exact, there are ten hundred thirty six such distinguished establishments.
2:07
Those leading stores across the country are, of course, the
2:10
key to the amazing values so unique.
2:12
Speaker 2: To clipper craft clothes.
2:14
Speaker 1: The ten hundred thirty six leading stores are part of
2:17
the famous clipper craft plans. In this plan, their buying
2:20
power is concentrated to affect tremendous savings in manufacturing and
2:24
distribution costs, savings.
2:26
Speaker 3: Which are all yours.
2:28
Speaker 1: That's why truly fine clipper craft suits are only forty
2:31
and forty five dollars, Why clipper craft top coats and
2:34
overcoats are only forty dollars, and sport jackets only twenty
2:38
six fifty clipper Craft values are truly out of this world.
2:42
Compare them with clothes selling for many dollars more. And now,
2:53
doctor Watson, let's get back to the story of the
2:55
Masterine Stone.
2:56
Speaker 2: Yes, let me see where was I? Oh?
2:59
Speaker 5: Yes, I'd been married some years and had resumed my
3:03
practice when one snowy winter afternoon one of my calls
3:07
took me in the neighborhood of Baker street. I couldn't
3:10
resist the temptation to drop in and find out for
3:13
myself what my colleague Sherlock.
3:15
Speaker 2: Holmes was up to. As I stood there in a
3:17
fall in.
3:18
Speaker 5: Snow, waiting for some wont of answer the bell, I
3:21
danced up at the window of his study, and there
3:23
I saw the thin nose and saturnine features of the
3:26
great detective. He was apparently deeply engrossed to the book. Basently,
3:32
the door was opened, and there stood Missus Hudson.
3:45
Speaker 6: Well, bless my soulid if it isn't the doctor, Good
3:48
day you, sir, it's a pleasant seeing you again.
3:52
Speaker 5: Why missus Hudson, you're looking as beautiful as ever you.
3:55
Speaker 2: You don't change at all.
3:57
Speaker 7: No, I do you, sir? You and your blandy.
4:00
Speaker 2: How is the great man himself him?
4:02
Speaker 7: He's in bed asleep, I think, But.
4:04
Speaker 2: I just saw him through the window, So.
4:06
Speaker 7: That fool you too, that's not him. What do you mean,
4:10
just you be going upstairs and find out for yourself.
4:13
Speaker 6: I'm not the one to be given secrets away, least
4:16
of all mister Holme's secret.
4:17
Speaker 5: So he's asleep in the middle of the afternoon. Yes, sir,
4:21
I suppose that means a case.
4:23
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, he's hard at it now and he's getting
4:26
thinner and thinner.
4:28
Speaker 7: When will it be pleased to die?
4:29
Speaker 6: And mister Holmes, sir, I'll ask him seven thirty the
4:33
day after tomorrow.
4:34
Speaker 7: He'll say.
4:35
Speaker 6: You know his way when he's on a case. I
4:37
seem to remember he's a hollering someone.
4:41
Speaker 2: Don't say yes, sir.
4:43
Speaker 6: Yesterday he was out dressed like a workman looking for
4:46
a job.
4:47
Speaker 7: Today he was an old woman.
4:49
Speaker 6: Fair took me and he did, And Lord knows I
4:51
ought to be known his ways.
4:53
Speaker 7: By now you'll see his old.
4:54
Speaker 6: Woman's umbrella leaning up against the sofa in his study.
4:57
Speaker 2: Dear mean, and what is this case it's all about?
5:00
Speaker 6: Well, I don't mind telling you, sir, but mind you
5:04
don't let it go any farther.
5:05
Speaker 1: Cross my heart, missus Hudson, very well.
5:07
Speaker 6: In the case of the crown diamond, what the one
5:12
hundred thousand pounds Burgary, Yes, sir, and mister Holmes is
5:16
getting it back for him.
5:19
Speaker 7: Why would you believe it?
5:20
Speaker 6: Yesterday we had the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary
5:22
is sitting on mister holmes sofa, both at the same time.
5:26
Speaker 5: Why hope it stood up under the stream, and how
5:30
did the homes behave two such famous persons on the
5:33
couch him?
5:35
Speaker 7: He was very nice to them and put them right
5:37
at their ease.
5:38
Speaker 2: Indyed, yes, sir.
5:40
Speaker 6: Then there was old Lord cantro Mere. Oh you know
5:43
what that means.
5:45
Speaker 7: He's a stiff.
5:46
Speaker 6: And if I do say so, I can get along
5:48
with the Prime Minister. And I have nothing against the
5:51
Home Secretary. He seems an obliging sort of man with
5:54
a civil tongue in his head. But I can't abide
5:56
his lordship poor fellow, yes, sir, and other can mister Holmes.
6:01
You see, you don't believe in mister Holmes, and he's
6:04
against employing him.
6:06
Speaker 7: He'd rather he failed.
6:08
Speaker 2: Does Holmes know that?
6:09
Speaker 7: Do you think mister Holmes knows whatever there is to know?
6:13
Speaker 2: Oh?
6:13
Speaker 5: Absolutely? But I say perhaps I had better not wake any.
6:17
Speaker 2: I wish you would, sir.
6:18
Speaker 6: He has not had a bite to eat since yesterday noons,
6:20
and then only a sandwich with a glass of milk.
6:23
Speaker 7: And I don't dare speak to him about it. You
6:25
know what he's like, sir, when he's busy on a case.
6:29
Speaker 5: Well, suppose I grew up and beard the lion in
6:32
his den. Heh Holmes, I say, Holmes, are you awake?
6:53
Speaker 2: He must be asleep.
6:54
Speaker 5: Well I'll go in anyway, Oh say, old place and
7:01
the same old litter, scientific charts, chemicals, violin pipes, papers,
7:07
all indigally. There's the old boy himself snoozing in the
7:12
armchair in front of the window.
7:15
Speaker 2: I thought I saw him from the street. I could
7:18
just go over and tweak in the air. What's can
7:21
come away from that window? What good gracious homes you
7:24
gave me a.
7:25
Speaker 1: Start away from that window? If you value your life, well,
7:27
they've well very well. But I say, hose, this is
7:31
all very confusing here.
7:32
Speaker 5: I see you sitting in your armchair and suddenly you
7:35
pop out of me from your bedroom door.
7:38
Speaker 2: Since when have.
7:39
Speaker 1: You been twins? Yes, it is rather a startling like
7:42
missus ni likeness. Yes, it's a wax image of me.
7:45
I'm expecting to get a bullet through the beautiful head
7:47
at any moment. Would you mind drawing the blinds without
7:49
exposing yourself?
7:50
Speaker 2: All right, it's bet n Now I can come into
7:56
the room. Yes, But why all this hocus pocus.
8:00
Speaker 1: I'm being watched from a window across the street by
8:02
a gentleman with an unpleasantly efficient air gun. Yes, Watson,
8:05
you come at a critical moment. Yes, sir, I gather
8:08
how far am I justified in allowing you to share
8:10
this danger with me?
8:11
Speaker 2: I wonder danger? What kind of danger?
8:14
Speaker 3: Sudden death?
8:15
Speaker 1: I'm expecting something this evening, expecting what to be murdered?
8:18
Speaker 2: Watson? Or what you got joking?
8:21
Speaker 1: Even my limited sense of humor could produce a better
8:23
joke than that. Perhaps you'd better go whither still time,
8:26
my dear Holmes.
8:27
Speaker 5: You couldn't get me out of here now at the
8:29
point of a revolver.
8:30
Speaker 1: Good, But sit down, sit down, may as well be
8:34
comfortable in the meantime, I'm aout a.
8:36
Speaker 2: Pipe and a glass of brandy. They have to take
8:39
the place of food these days, but why not eat?
8:41
Speaker 1: The faculty has become refined when you starve the rubbish.
8:44
What your digestion gains in the way of blood supply
8:47
is so much lost to the brain present. I'm all brain,
8:50
But this danger, Holmes, his name is Sylvius.
8:54
Speaker 2: That are write down?
8:56
Speaker 1: Count Negretto Sylvius one three six more side gardens northwest.
9:03
We've got it, yes, good, you can give it to
9:05
Scotland yard with my love and a parting blessing in
9:07
case the murderer is successful.
9:08
Speaker 2: Look here, Holmes, I'm in all this. I had nothing
9:11
to do for a day or two.
9:12
Speaker 1: Your models don't improve, Watson. Now you've added fipping to
9:16
your other vices. You bear every sign of the busy
9:18
medical man.
9:19
Speaker 2: Oh to blaze it with that? I say, can't you
9:22
have this fellow arrested? Yes? I can. That's why he's
9:25
determined to kill me. Well, then why don't you?
9:27
Speaker 1: Because I don't know where he's hidden the confounded diamond.
9:30
Speaker 5: Oh yes, Missus Hudson told me the missing crown jewel.
9:34
Speaker 1: I've cast my neck, Watson, and got my fish. What's
9:37
the use of catching them? With the jewels slipped through
9:38
my fingers?
9:39
Speaker 5: And is this Count Sylvia's one of your so called fish.
9:43
Speaker 1: Yes, he's the shark. The other is Sam Merton, the boxer.
9:46
He's the Count's tool. Sam's not a shark, he's a
9:49
great bullheaded gudgelan. Come in, come in, ah, Missus Hudson,
9:54
What is it a gentleman downstairs?
9:55
Speaker 7: See, he says, here's his card, the.
9:59
Speaker 1: Gretto sil Well, well, so the old shark is grasping
10:02
the metal.
10:03
Speaker 5: Eh Er, that metaphor is a trifle mixed terms.
10:06
Speaker 1: Show him up, missus Hudson when I ring if I'm
10:08
not in the room, Show him up, all the same
10:12
man of nerve Putson. Possibly you've heard of his reputation
10:15
as a big game hunter. What a triumphant ending to
10:18
his sporting record. If he succeeds in adding me to
10:20
his bag, this is proof that he feels my breath
10:22
uncomfortably hot on his neck.
10:24
Speaker 2: Look here, why not send for the police? Not yet?
10:26
Speaker 1: Not quite yet the ticket. Glance out of the window, Watson,
10:29
to see if anyone's hanging about.
10:30
Speaker 2: Yes, there's one rough looking fellow near the door. That
10:35
will be Sam.
10:36
Speaker 5: They fool bit fatuous, I say, look here, Hose, this
10:39
is serious. I insist I'm staying with you, but you'll
10:42
be in the way, in his way. No, in mind,
10:44
Well I'm not going to budge, and well we'll compromise.
10:46
You shall stay in the bedroom within call in case
10:48
I need you.
10:49
Speaker 2: Yes, but home along.
10:50
Speaker 1: It's essential that this room be empty when the Count
10:52
enters it. He's come for his own purpose, but he
10:54
may stay for mine. Hurry, I think I hear his
10:56
step on the stairs.
11:02
Speaker 7: Oh he's not in here. Sift your step in. I'm
11:05
sure you'll be back in a moment.
11:07
Speaker 4: Many thanks, and certainly.
11:11
Speaker 2: So.
11:13
Speaker 8: This is his damn n his bottles and his papers
11:16
and all the rest of his hocus pocus. Softly, Sylvia, softly,
11:23
there's the old vulture himself asleep.
11:25
Speaker 2: In his chair.
11:26
Speaker 1: But lucky so he one tap from my gold headed cane.
11:31
Speaker 2: Don't it? Can't brig it?
11:32
Speaker 1: Holmes, you'll quite I trust you were expecting someone else.
11:36
I see you've been admiring my wax figure. Pretty little thing,
11:40
isn't it? Tardanie made it. He's almost as good at
11:43
waxworks as your friend Straban's a Is it?
11:45
Speaker 3: Air guns?
11:46
Speaker 4: Air guns?
11:48
Speaker 2: What do you mean? First?
11:49
Speaker 1: Put your hat and stick on the side table. Thank you, Now, pray,
11:57
take a seat. That's you'd like to put your a
11:59
Farvard on the table too, erm no, you prefer to
12:01
sit on Well, this visit is most opportune. I want
12:06
a few minutes chat with you. Good, I too, wish
12:09
to have some words with you. May I ask why
12:11
all these personal attentions?
12:13
Speaker 4: Because you annoy me.
12:14
Speaker 1: You have put your creatures on my tracks, my creatures,
12:17
I assure you no nonsense.
12:18
Speaker 4: Have them followed.
12:19
Speaker 8: Two can played that game, my friend. Yesterday there was
12:23
a sporting old gentleman. To day it was an elderly woman, you.
12:26
Speaker 1: Flatter, may Count Old Baron Dawson said the night before
12:29
he was hanged. But in my case, what the law
12:31
had gained, the stage had lost, And now you praised
12:35
my impersonations.
12:37
Speaker 2: Dear me, it was you, you yourself. Quite there's the old.
12:41
Speaker 1: Lady's umbrella you were gracious enough to hand back to
12:43
me when we collided in the mineries this morning.
12:45
Speaker 3: If I don'ly know, I would never have seen this
12:47
humble home again.
12:48
Speaker 2: Eh.
12:49
Speaker 1: Oh, well, we all have our neglected opportunities. You admit
12:52
you have dubbed me why you used to shoot lions
12:55
in Algeria?
12:57
Speaker 4: Well?
12:57
Speaker 1: But why why the spot, the excitement, the danger, and
13:02
no doubt, to free the country from the pest.
13:04
Speaker 2: Exactly?
13:05
Speaker 1: Well, those are my reasons in the nutshell you did.
13:08
I'll show your sit down, sit down at once, and
13:10
take your hand from your hippocket. Better, there's another more
13:14
practical reason I want that diamond. Fancy that your reason
13:18
in coming here is to find out how much I know?
13:20
So you may judge how far my removal is necessary? Well,
13:23
as you say, from your point of view, it's quite essential.
13:27
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
13:28
Speaker 2: In short, there's only one thing I do not know.
13:31
Speaker 4: And what is the missing fact?
13:33
Speaker 3: If I may inquire, where is the crown diamond hidden?
13:37
Speaker 4: Dear me?
13:37
Speaker 2: So that's it.
13:39
Speaker 4: Suppose I don't know, You.
13:40
Speaker 1: Can't bluff me, you'll yes, your absolutely plate class I
13:42
can see at the very back of your mind.
13:44
Speaker 4: Really well, then of course you see where the diamond is.
13:48
Speaker 2: You know then you admitted it.
13:49
Speaker 4: I have nothing more.
13:50
Speaker 1: Come, come be reasonable. If not, your get hurt.
13:56
Speaker 8: And you talk to me about love. You see the
14:00
notebook suredly you know what I keep in it. No,
14:03
I don't pretend to be a mind reader. This book
14:06
is you me, yes, you, every move of.
14:08
Speaker 2: Your fifteen dangerous life. The no homes, there are limits
14:11
to my patients. Sits here, all of it.
14:12
Speaker 3: The real facts in the death of missus Harold left
14:14
to the.
14:14
Speaker 1: Primer estate fabrication, the complete life history of miss Minie Warrender.
14:18
Speaker 2: You can't prove anything, and plenty more. Here's the robbery,
14:20
and the train just looks to the Riviera.
14:22
Speaker 1: On February the thirteenth, eighteen ninety two the forge check
14:25
on the critilione. No you're wrong there, then I am
14:27
right about the others. Now they come, you're a card
14:31
player and the other fellow has all the trumps. Time
14:34
to throw in your hands?
14:35
Speaker 2: What connection is all this for?
14:36
Speaker 4: The theft of the crown?
14:37
Speaker 1: Your patients, My dear fellow patience. I had the cabman
14:41
who took you to white Wall, the one who drove
14:44
you away. I had the commissionaire who saw you near
14:46
the case that proves nothing. I have Hikey Sanders.
14:50
Speaker 3: I yes, Hike Sanders, who refused to cut it up
14:52
for you.
14:53
Speaker 2: Hike has peached Ike.
14:56
Speaker 1: Oh wait till I if my that is the hand
14:59
I played from only one card is missing the athy time,
15:03
you'll never get it. No, sitter, You're going to be
15:07
locked up for twenty years. You want Sam, perhaps longer.
15:10
What good will the diamond beat you? Then none in
15:13
the world. Now we don't want you, and we don't
15:15
want Sam. We want the diamond.
15:18
Speaker 3: Give it up, and as far as we are concerned,
15:20
you are free if you.
15:21
Speaker 2: Behave yourself in the future.
15:22
Speaker 1: My commission is to get the stone, not you, and
15:26
if I refuse, then it will be you and not
15:30
the stone. I think it might be as well to
15:33
have your friend Sam at this conference. He's waiting outside
15:35
in the street because you tap on the window and
15:38
motion him to come up.
15:39
Speaker 2: Oh, missus hudsonill let to let him in. She's quite
15:41
used to my receiving curious characters.
15:43
Speaker 4: Very well, he's coming. Now, what are you going to do?
15:54
Speaker 2: I have a shark and a gudgeon in my debt.
15:56
Now I'm drawing it.
15:58
Speaker 3: And up they come together. You will never die in
16:02
your bed homes? Does it matter very much? It's no
16:06
use fingering your pistol, my friend.
16:07
Speaker 1: You wouldn't dare to use it even if I gave
16:08
you time to draw mighty things revolvers.
16:12
Speaker 2: Let us stick to air guns.
16:14
Speaker 1: But listen that the fairy footstep of your friend mister Murton,
16:18
come in, Sam, come in rather dull waiting in the street,
16:22
isn't it Worsner?
16:24
Speaker 3: It's all up?
16:25
Speaker 2: Sam?
16:26
Speaker 3: Put it in the nutshell? What's his coat trying to do?
16:28
Speaker 2: Be funny?
16:29
Speaker 3: I'm loving a funny moode myself.
16:31
Speaker 1: No, I expect not, and I can promise you that
16:34
you'll feel even less humorous if the evening progresses. Now
16:37
a kiss syl Yes, I can't waste time. I'm going
16:39
to that bedroom. I shall play on my violin for
16:42
five minutes. At the end of that time, I shall
16:45
return to your decision.
16:46
Speaker 2: Do we take you, whether we get.
16:49
Speaker 4: The stone.

16:56
five minutes.
16:56
Speaker 1: Remember, Clippercraft has a great reputation for fine quality. That's
17:29
what you go by when you choose your first clipper
17:32
Craft suit. And once you've worn clipper Craft, you learn
17:35
how marvelously it stands up to hardware, how very comfortable
17:39
you feel in it. The long wear comes from fine
17:42
materials and precision workmanship. Your comfort comes from excellent fit
17:47
resulting from skilled designing. What will amaze you is how
17:51
so much is possible for so very little. Remember, clipper
17:54
Craft suits are only forty and forty five dollars, clipper
17:58
Craft top coats and overcoats are only forty dollars, and
18:01
sport jackets only twenty six fifty. These are modest prices, indeed,
18:06
for clothes obviously worth much more. The Great Clippercraft Plan,
18:10
concentrating the buying power of ten hundred and thirty six
18:14
leading stores across the nation, makes these remarkable values possible
18:18
in your own local independent store. The store you can
18:21
trust selling expensive clothes at inexpensive low prices at the
18:26
nation's finest independent stores is the great, big idea behind
18:31
the clipper Craft plan. That's why men who know insist
18:34
on Clippercraft pothes. So be sure to visit the clipper
18:37
Craft store in your city.

Holmes violin can still be heard in the next room.
19:31
Speaker 5: He played pretty down, a ah, shut up, Sam, that hey,
19:35
does this mean that he knows about the stone?
19:37
Speaker 4: He knows too much about it. I'm not sure he
19:40
doesn't know everything. Good Lord, Heike Sam is.
19:43
Speaker 3: A split ah, yes has he do take him? But
19:47
that's safe now.
19:47
Speaker 4: That won't help us now to make up my mind.
19:50
Speaker 3: He half a mouth, he's a leary coe. What if
19:53
he's listening?
19:53
Speaker 4: How can it be with that violin squeaking back? Now?
19:56
Speaker 3: There he is sitting right in that chair.
19:58
Speaker 4: Rocket's only a dummy?
20:01
Speaker 2: Well striking me? Madam?
20:04
Speaker 3: Tis so saying it it?

Speaker 8: Thifty yarn and know?
20:08
Speaker 2: Oh? Shut up?
20:08
Speaker 8: You're wasting our time and there isn't many too much.
20:11
He can jail us over the stone than touchee can.
20:14
But he'll let us go if we tell him where
20:16
the stone is.
20:17
Speaker 3: Why give up a hundred thousand quid.
20:20
Speaker 4: It's one or the other.
20:22
Speaker 3: He's in there a low listing me.
20:23
Speaker 8: He's armed and ready. That's too noisy and never get
20:27
away side. It's likely the police have whatever evidence he's collected.
20:33
Speaker 2: What was that?
20:35
Speaker 3: I just sworn I heard something move over there in
20:37
the window.
20:37
Speaker 5: Sat in the street, MoU slightly How lucky at cappany

you've got the brains if slugging snow?
20:43
Speaker 3: Good is up to you.
20:44
Speaker 4: Yes, I fool better men than he.
20:48
Speaker 8: The stone is here in my secret pocket. I can
20:50
get out of England to night, cut it into four
20:52
pieces of apsdam before Sunday. He knows nothing about man
20:56
saida but that false far about. He must chance it
20:58
as it is not a moment to lose. As for Holmes,
21:03
full word of restless. If you can get the stone,
21:06
we'll bling on the wrong track, and before he discovers
21:09
it is wrong, it'll.
21:11
Speaker 4: Be in Holland and we'll be out of the country.
21:15
Speaker 3: Sounds good to me. I wanty a day carry.
21:18
Speaker 4: Where would it be safer.
21:19
Speaker 2: Let's have a look at it, that's the idea.
21:21
Speaker 3: Huh, let have many.
21:22
Speaker 5: I think I'm going to snatch it off here now, okay, mister,
21:25
I'm getting fed.
21:26
Speaker 4: Over the fence, Sam. We can't afford a quarrel. Are here?
21:30
Come over here to the window, out of the line
21:32
of that keyhole, are there? Hold it to the light.
21:37
It is a beauty.
21:38
Speaker 2: Uh, thank you gentlemen, your homes.
21:40
Speaker 3: I thought you said he was a dummy.
21:42
Speaker 1: Dear me, not very flattering off you can't you scowld
21:45
you you fief temper temper, no violence, gentlemen.
21:48
Speaker 2: Please consider the furniture. We'll be so waiting below.
21:53
Speaker 4: But how the deuce?
21:54
Speaker 1: There is a second door to my bedroom behind that
21:56
window curtain. Me I thought the game was up where
21:58
you heard me displace the dummy your I believe you're
22:01
the devil himself?
22:02
Speaker 3: You flatter me?
22:04
Speaker 1: Ah, but here are friends from stuff from yard. Take
22:07
him away, boys, sir, But I say I'm about the
22:10
blooming fiddle. It's still playing quite right, Sam, remarkable invention
22:14
the gramophone.
22:15
Speaker 2: Let you play car at more? And that's it all right? Watson?
22:27
Even stop that machine? Hi, I say, Holmes, I've lost
22:33
at least five pounds in the last half hour. Did
22:35
he beneficial to your waistline? Becoming disgustingly plump? Look at
22:39
this way it's the crown Gamon.
22:44
Speaker 4: Hello, what's up?
22:44
Speaker 2: Now? Come in? Come in? Oh missus huntson again? Now
22:51
do you ever let us alone? Well?
22:53
Speaker 3: Show him up?
22:56
Speaker 10: Then I must say home, you have most mannerly people
22:58
in your household. I ran into a group of raffians
23:00
as I was coming to the door.
23:02
Speaker 1: Oh, that must have been the fellows from Scotland Yard.
23:05
It's a rather warm in here. May I take your
23:07
overcoat right Fiveecouncil. Oh the more, I have no intention
23:11
of staying. Doctor Watson will assure you that these sudden
23:14
changes of temperature are most insidious. Sh your hands off
23:17
my coat. I intend to keep it on very well.
23:21
Speaker 10: I came to see how your self appointed task is
23:25
getting on.
23:26
Speaker 2: It's difficult, very difficult.
23:28
Speaker 10: Yes, I suspect that you would find it so. Every
23:31
man has his limitation.
23:32
Speaker 1: Yes, I've been greatly perplexed, no doubt, especially on one point.
23:37
Speaker 2: But perhaps you can help me.
23:38
Speaker 10: You' apply from my advice rather late in the day. Still,
23:41
I'm ready to give you the benefit of my opinions.
23:44
Speaker 1: You understand, we can doubtless frame a case against the
23:47
actual thief once you have caught quite But the real
23:50
question is how shall we proceed against the receiver. What
23:54
would you regard as the final evidence against the receiver
23:56
the actual possession of the stone. Of course, you would
23:58
arrest him on that, I said. In that case, my
24:01
dear lord Cantelba, I shall be under the painful necessity
24:04
of advising your arrest. For Get yourself, mister Holmes.
24:09
Speaker 10: I have no time, as it's childish jokes, I may
24:11
tell you frankly, sir that I have never had any
24:14
believe in your powers, good evening one moment.
24:16
Speaker 1: Actually to make off with the Mazarin stone would be
24:19
even more serious to be found in temporary possession of it.
24:21
Speaker 2: It is intolerable. Let me pass immediately.
24:24
Speaker 1: Just put your hand in the right hand pocket of
24:25
your overcoat.
24:27
Speaker 4: What do you mean?
24:27
Speaker 2: Do as I ask?
24:28
Speaker 1: Well, I, however, see what's this? Seems to be the
24:34
Mazarin stone. For shame, sir, for shame, well, bless my
24:39
soul hoven thunder well, I'll be undoubtedly.
24:43
Speaker 2: However, I really must apologize. I never could resist dramatic situation.
24:48
Speaker 1: I took the liberty of slipping the stone into your
24:49
pocket and beginning of our interview very well to say,
24:53
I am bewil That is putting it mildly.
24:55
Speaker 10: We are greatly indebted to you, sir, in spite of
24:58
your somewhat pervertive sense of humor, and I certainly withdraw
25:02
any reflection I may have made on your amazing professional part.
25:06
Speaker 1: How the dooe the details can wait. I trust your
25:10
pleasure in relaying youth of our success will be some
25:13
small atonement for my practical job.
25:15
Speaker 2: Oh yes it will, sir.
25:16
Speaker 10: It will Indeed, I can hardly wait to get the
25:19
good word around A good day, mister Holmes.
25:22
Speaker 1: Good day, Lord Cantlebyon Watson, will you show his launch
25:25
him out with pleasure and tell missus Hudson I should
25:29
be obliged if you'd send up dinner for two as
25:33
soon as possible. What an extraordinary story, doctor Watson, and
25:47
what a perfect climax.
25:48
Speaker 5: Yes, mister Holmes always had an eye for the dramatic,
25:52
which reminds me next week's story.
25:54
Speaker 3: Did you say that next week's story is going to
25:56
be particularly dramatic?
25:57
Speaker 2: Doctor?
25:58
Speaker 5: I didn't say it, mister Harris, because you into thatting me,
26:01
but I was going to.
26:02
Speaker 2: Yes.
26:03
Speaker 5: Next week, I'm going to tell you how the five
26:05
year old racehorse Blazing Star suddenly dropped dead of old age,
26:10
and how my youthful pass in the game of rugby
26:13
saved Poems and myself from a diabolical plot of our
26:17
arch enemy, Professor Mariotti.
