- 0:28Speaker 4: There's nothing as delicious as.
- 0:29Speaker 2: That first faint whisp of spring.
- 0:33Speaker 3: All stretches come along to the house before we both

- 0:36Speaker 2: Are just the cold.
- 0:39Speaker 3: After you, sir, I'm not a trouper boy, and none
- 0:41Speaker 3: of that age before beauty nonsense.
- 0:43Speaker 4: I'm not as equipped.

- 1:16Speaker 4: The the hand rings of Urbano for a like theself.
- 1:20Speaker 5: I appreciate it, you know.
- 1:21Speaker 4: But sit down some many sit down there over there
- 1:23Speaker 4: in the usual chairs.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Let's getrong with our story before I get all glillery sentimental.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Yeah, I can tell us about Professor Moriarty to.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Night answer, well, I had intended to, but I've changed
- 1:34Speaker 4: my mind.
- 1:35Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you.
- 1:36Speaker 3: The adventure of the retired Colorman.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Instead retired colorman.
- 1:40Speaker 3: Isn't that a military time, isn't mister Joss p Ambley,
- 1:45Speaker 3: I mean the junior member Brickfall and Amblet manufactures of
- 1:48Speaker 3: artistic paint boxes. He's made quite a tiny little fortune,
- 1:52Speaker 3: retired from business at the age of sixty one or
- 1:54Speaker 3: the House of Orship, and then settled down. But the
- 1:58Speaker 3: next year, eighteen ninety seven.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Was it you? Old two married married?
- 2:02Speaker 4: He is merged the woman thirty years his junius.
- 2:06Speaker 1: That's always a bit risky.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Within two years he was as miserable a preacher as
- 2:12Speaker 3: caused beneath the sun. It will hear me. I'm jumping
- 2:15Speaker 3: ahead of the story again as I was saying, this
- 2:18Speaker 3: is a precis third of April eighteen hundred and ninety nine, and.
- 2:22Speaker 4: A rainy and disagreeable April it has been.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Holmes was a melanchlin philosophic move that morning, as he
- 2:27Speaker 3: stood by the window watching the rain drop chasing one
- 2:30Speaker 3: another down down the page.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Rain it always depressed him when he was not working
- 2:35Speaker 4: on a case.
- 2:36Speaker 3: When he was working on a case, I don't believe
- 2:38Speaker 3: you realized that there was such a thing as weather.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Look at that beastly rain hasn't stopped for three days.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Might as well be another of flood. Oh heaven only
- 2:59Speaker 1: knows what transgressions could have brought it on. There's been
- 3:02Speaker 1: a really first glance crime for months.
- 3:04Speaker 4: You cheir up, home, chair up.
- 3:06Speaker 1: It's probably good for the crops, or something, said you crime.
- 3:09Speaker 4: And the rain, of course probably makes the little.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Buds sprout to the little shoots, shoes plasted optimistic, more
- 3:15Speaker 1: likely rotting all the seed that's already been planted. Rain,
- 3:18Speaker 1: Where the juice does it all come from? This contfounded
- 3:22Speaker 1: English climate? Why any man with half her brain stays
- 3:25Speaker 1: on this rain soap misbound islander is beyond me.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Those are the men of Alving to do it. It's
- 3:29Speaker 2: the ladies, God bless them.
- 3:31Speaker 3: This climate gives them perfect complexions, with so many lovely creatures.
- 3:35Speaker 3: About what Englishmen would think of quitting the country.
- 3:38Speaker 5: So much beauty?
- 3:39Speaker 1: Is the checks cuel rubbish? What's rubbish? Thispring has given
- 3:41Speaker 1: you a temporary softening of the brain, and I regret
- 3:44Speaker 1: to say it seems to have their effect on most
- 3:45Speaker 1: impressionable male firstible nonsense.
- 3:47Speaker 4: When a woman's concerning.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Money, of your cases, you've never even.
- 3:50Speaker 3: Noticed whether she's sixteen or sixty, And then you don't
- 3:52Speaker 3: care whether she's got a well turned ankle or.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Whether she's flat footed.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Oh why should I homes?
- 3:57Speaker 2: There are times when I think you're.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Cold budded fish possibly watching possibly? Why do you suppose
- 4:05Speaker 1: the pool doesn't show up? What fool jo sig u
- 4:07Speaker 1: p amble?
- 4:09Speaker 2: Is he one of your clouds?
- 4:10Speaker 1: I suppose I may call him? So you've been sent
- 4:12Speaker 1: to me by Satan Yah. I've got to be right
- 4:14Speaker 1: by this chart. To be exact, you must consider the
- 4:17Speaker 1: case fairly hopeless. If this tart hands the matter over
- 4:19Speaker 1: to me, for was on a cord the cobs a.
- 4:22Speaker 4: There's a care drawing up to in front of our front.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Joys.
- 4:26Speaker 4: You must see your class dissembly.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Yeah, strange looking individually, Watson, because.
- 4:31Speaker 4: An old fellow looks literally bowed down with care and
- 4:35Speaker 4: no weakling.
- 4:35Speaker 1: But of those shoulders in that chest the framework of
- 4:38Speaker 1: a giant arguing the cab driver about the fair watches
- 4:43Speaker 1: the Pennysay, Sir.
- 4:44Speaker 3: I don't like his face so fierce and eager, and
- 4:47Speaker 3: the way those snaky locks of grizzled hair stick out
- 4:50Speaker 3: from under his hat.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Wonder what he's worrying wants worrying, mister Ambley. Willing to
- 4:55Speaker 1: bet it has nothing to do with money. Imagine nothing
- 4:57Speaker 1: else could upset him to any great extent.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Nonsense, You always look on the base side of the
- 5:02Speaker 3: human nature.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Yere, he is now come in, come in.
- 5:09Speaker 5: Which of you is Sherlock Home?
- 5:10Speaker 1: I am, and this is my friend, doctor Watson.
- 5:12Speaker 4: I'm a broken man.
- 5:14Speaker 5: He's rubbed me the fine, taken everything I had in
- 5:16Speaker 5: the world. I thought it was my friend, and he
- 5:18Speaker 5: took everything i'd from under my nose in my own house,
- 5:22Speaker 5: rob me.
- 5:22Speaker 1: He did, Yes, I felt sure it was a question
- 5:24Speaker 1: of money.
- 5:24Speaker 5: Money. Who said money, he's told my wife the night
- 5:28Speaker 5: of my life.
- 5:29Speaker 4: Yeah, love my eye.
- 5:30Speaker 2: It's true.
- 5:31Speaker 5: She was very expensive, but after all, she was my.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Wife and he stole her. Now, mister Embly, and if
- 5:35Speaker 1: you were a good.
- 5:36Speaker 5: Blonde wife like gold, and my securities, the money I
- 5:41Speaker 5: saved up for years of hard work gone all gone
- 5:45Speaker 5: at first?
- 5:46Speaker 1: Tell us about your wife? How long have you been married?
- 5:49Speaker 2: Two years?
- 5:50Speaker 5: Two years?
- 5:51Speaker 4: And she's tired of me already two to three years, my.
- 5:54Speaker 1: Good man, easy, More facts and pure incriminations. Where to
- 5:56Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this case?
- 5:57Speaker 5: Well, three years ago I retired bought a house, big
- 6:01Speaker 5: house at Lewisham, cost me plenty of money. That house
- 6:04Speaker 5: did well, sir. I'd never lived alone in a big
- 6:06Speaker 5: house before, and that sort of lonely house began to
- 6:10Speaker 5: need looking after. So I thought I'd start looking around
- 6:12Speaker 5: for a wife, nice healthy, young wife to look after me.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Then I'm at Ella and some girl she was too,
- 6:18Speaker 5: a good cook, hair like gold, could make a beef
- 6:22Speaker 5: for the kidney pilot with molt in your mouth, So
- 6:25Speaker 5: I thought I might as well get married.
- 6:26Speaker 6: Isn't very practical.
- 6:27Speaker 1: I'm sure, that's what I think. It is a time.
- 6:29Speaker 5: But lord, mister Holmes, the money a woman runs into
- 6:32Speaker 5: it there made my heart beat the way the money went.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I still thought you'd have been glad when the other
- 6:37Speaker 1: politic got off your hands.
- 6:38Speaker 5: But who was this wof in cheap clothing? His name
- 6:42Speaker 5: was doctor Ray Ernest, a young fellow. He used to
- 6:45Speaker 5: come over night and play chess with me.
- 6:47Speaker 1: See he told you why and my securities you have, Petrilly,
- 6:50Speaker 1: The securities are registered, you know, hardly hope to convert.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Them, maybe not, but I must have them back. And
- 6:56Speaker 5: you've got to find those securities for me, mister Holmes.
- 6:59Speaker 5: You've got the find them. And your wife of Coln
- 7:01Speaker 5: of course a fort wherever she is saying quite. On
- 7:04Speaker 5: the other hand, with the amberlet I confess, I don't
- 7:06Speaker 5: see that I can be of much service. It's a
- 7:08Speaker 5: routine matter, and I'm sure that Carton Yard would be
- 7:10Speaker 5: only to found that thing, not a single security.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Well, very well, very well, very well, and we'll do
- 7:15Speaker 1: our bits. Doctor. What's will take a run down to
- 7:17Speaker 1: your house of Fluish to look over the ground.
- 7:19Speaker 5: Yes, I'll hardly expect you to come yourself after my
- 7:23Speaker 5: heavy financial loss. Nobody cares if an old mentor proto
- 7:27Speaker 5: stop that blubberings.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I'm not coming myself because I'm preoccupied with the case
- 7:31Speaker 1: of the two Coptic patriarchs. This particular case doesn't seem
- 7:34Speaker 1: to be very complicated. I'm sure that's the ambulet. But
- 7:36Speaker 1: doctor Watson can handle it as well as I could myself.
- 7:39Speaker 4: Well that's the best that you can offer. I suppose
- 7:42Speaker 4: I'm a best side.
- 7:44Speaker 1: That's what she was.
- 7:45Speaker 5: And that young man that he picked topped, I treated
- 7:48Speaker 5: him like my own son.
- 7:49Speaker 2: He the lnt of the house.
- 7:51Speaker 5: And now look how they treated me me. You'll never
- 7:53Speaker 5: harm right.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Quite And now I'm good day. It's the ambulet.
- 7:57Speaker 5: Oh yes, well, well good day, mister Holmes. The expect
- 8:00Speaker 5: doctor Watson this afternoon. Hit my desk. I believe all
- 8:03Speaker 5: the getatives.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Don't write it.
- 8:06Speaker 4: I must say home, sir, I like the way you
- 8:08Speaker 4: shall go all this off onto my shoulders.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Coptic patriarchs.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Indeed, you just don't want to go write Watson right
- 8:16Speaker 1: the very first time you've been digging for a case
- 8:18Speaker 1: all to yourself for a month, Well here it is.
- 8:20Speaker 4: It isn't a nice case you've given me a muscle
- 8:23Speaker 4: that old skins.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Oh my daughter, oh my duckatsay, with the emphasis on
- 8:28Speaker 1: the ducket. If I'm not mistaken, Oh.
- 8:43Speaker 6: Oh, can't found that passage? Yeah ah, that's better that
- 8:53Speaker 6: dash good.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Hello one steps on the stairs, Watson, if I'm not mistaken,
- 9:01Speaker 1: and in a triumphant mood, Hello, homes Well, I'm back
- 9:07Speaker 1: hell the country, herolatternon. I take it to the right
- 9:10Speaker 1: of victory.
- 9:10Speaker 4: And you're right, I did manage to dig up kills.
- 9:15Speaker 1: Now about mister Emery's state of residence. What's it like?
- 9:19Speaker 5: It's called it the Haven?
- 9:20Speaker 1: O charming es, isn't it?
- 9:22Speaker 2: I think the place of interest you home?
- 9:24Speaker 4: You know that particular quarter, the monotonous.
- 9:26Speaker 3: Brick streets, the worries suburden highways. Well, right in the
- 9:30Speaker 3: middle of them lies this beautiful old home, surrounded by
- 9:34Speaker 3: a high sun baked wall, muffled with lichens and topped
- 9:38Speaker 3: with moss, the sort of wall.
- 9:39Speaker 1: You may emit the purty Once and I noted that
- 9:41Speaker 1: it was a high brick wall.
- 9:42Speaker 7: M what I should have guessed it was the Haven,
- 9:47Speaker 7: even if I hadn't asked a lounder, who's smoking our
- 9:50Speaker 7: certain street? Alanga here's a tall, dark, fast man, the
- 9:55Speaker 7: curious look in his eye, the great kindic glances and
- 9:57Speaker 7: mytonic typing.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Good heaven, how do you know how.
- 10:01Speaker 1: The fool a child of tenders seen through there? And
- 10:03Speaker 1: Sir Holmes, I don't see, never mind continue the story, Watson.
- 10:06Speaker 3: But I'd hardly entered the gateway before I saw mister
- 10:08Speaker 3: Hambley coming down the drive to meet this.
- 10:11Speaker 2: He began at once, pouring out his grievances.
- 10:14Speaker 1: He walked back to the house together and.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Well, once inside the wall, I must say I've never
- 10:19Speaker 3: seen a place worse kept. Garden running to weeds and
- 10:23Speaker 3: in a breathful neglect. The house, too, was slapping little
- 10:26Speaker 3: to the last degree. It just goes to show what
- 10:29Speaker 3: happens to her place when there's no woman in her
- 10:31Speaker 3: hand about to keep.
- 10:32Speaker 1: It in order. Yes, but missus Amberley and had been
- 10:35Speaker 1: listening a few days. I have time for so much
- 10:38Speaker 1: disintegration to take place. Must have set in before she'll.
- 10:41Speaker 4: Learn, possibly at any rate. Mister Amberley seemed to be ashamed.
- 10:44Speaker 3: Of it, doing his best to remedy it, though I
- 10:47Speaker 3: must admit that his efforts looked a trifle and effectual.
- 11:01Speaker 5: What's the becompopy. What's did be coompany? My wife gone?
- 11:04Speaker 5: Most of my fortune is stolen. Now all come in,
- 11:06Speaker 5: doctor Watson. Coming in here, you see what remains of
- 11:09Speaker 5: what do you think to call my home?
- 11:11Speaker 2: An englishman's home.
- 11:12Speaker 5: With castle, so they say, But holp me is where
- 11:14Speaker 5: the heart is in my heart? And look out, doctor Watson.
- 11:16Speaker 5: Without that would waste the.
- 11:18Speaker 4: Look that look good that I'm just paradras. Too bad?
- 11:22Speaker 5: You almost getting that part of paper all the limit. Sorry,
- 11:25Speaker 5: I should have left that part of painting a bit
- 11:27Speaker 5: of the passage. I suppose that when one's alone in
- 11:29Speaker 5: the house, run forget alone who You've.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Been doing this painting years.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Old, and must try to strange occupation under the circumstances.
- 11:37Speaker 5: And one must do something to the eighteen half and
- 11:39Speaker 5: step in here, doctor Watson. This is my study and
- 11:41Speaker 5: my thanking.
- 11:42Speaker 3: Thank th Olcome, I'll see you gu just finished painting
- 11:47Speaker 3: would work in this room too, h.
- 11:51Speaker 2: There's no painting.
- 11:52Speaker 5: It's not dryet That's why I have a fire in here.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Now let me see where.
- 11:57Speaker 4: Did you keep your security in the face in that wall?
- 12:01Speaker 5: This m is ready a strong room, I can thank
- 12:03Speaker 5: with an man shut around the window and an arm
- 12:05Speaker 5: or failure proof. That's the irony of it. No seat
- 12:08Speaker 5: from without could have taken my money. But my wife,
- 12:10Speaker 5: my own wife. There's a picture doctor Watt momamentals taking
- 12:14Speaker 5: in a wedding dress.
- 12:17Speaker 2: I was looking.
- 12:17Speaker 4: Will doesn't look another.
- 12:20Speaker 5: Fighter and great A very night. That very night I
- 12:24Speaker 5: brought two EPI circle seats at the Haymarket Theater. What

- 12:32Speaker 3: She did?
- 12:33Speaker 5: I believe there went alone. When I said that she
- 12:35Speaker 5: was gone, the saint was friend.

- 12:39Speaker 2: Miss?
- 12:40Speaker 5: That's persy? Oh he has an unused ticket. Money wasted.
- 12:44Speaker 5: She was always wasted money.

- 13:00Speaker 5: Formited that pictures burning?
- 13:01Speaker 1: Now one person felloway once and this case begins to
- 13:14Speaker 1: look more sumber than I suspected it. If you could
- 13:17Speaker 1: only have brought me that ticket, Watson, I did.
- 13:20Speaker 3: My best, homes I may not have the ticket itself,
- 13:23Speaker 3: but I did notice the number of the sea.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Bravo. Watson happened to remember as a matter of fact.
- 13:30Speaker 3: It because my place and form at school thirty one
- 13:33Speaker 3: see from the bottom, and so it's stuck in.
- 13:36Speaker 1: My head splendid. Although then Amberley's seat must have been
- 13:39Speaker 1: thirty or thirty two. Gim me hear me now, who

- 14:11Speaker 4: Of course.
- 14:12Speaker 1: I want to look up the train and there's.
- 14:13Speaker 5: Probably a hope. What could anyone who needed pud?

- 14:48Speaker 5: go alone.
- 14:49Speaker 1: It may be a trap drawl. We know I shall go,
- 14:52Speaker 1: mister Amberley. It would make the worst possible impression on
- 14:55Speaker 1: both police and on myself if you refuse to follow
- 14:57Speaker 1: up so obvious a cue. We should feel that you
- 14:59Speaker 1: are not in earnest about this investigation. Very well, I'll go.
