  Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: What about this adventure of the fabulous celebrities.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Well, mister Harris, it began in the year nineteen oh one,
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: a year when Holmes was at the very pinnacle of
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: success by the turn of the centuries. You know, the
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: name of Sherlock Holmes was famous in every corner of
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: the civilized world, and people stared at him whenever he
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: walked out of our quarters at Baker Street. And then
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: very suddenly it became very dangerous to be a celebrated
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: person in the city of London. In the short space
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: of three weeks, four persons of great prominence were struck
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: down by a mysterious assassin, and finally, in great desperation
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: in Speculus, Strad asked us to appear at Scotland Yard.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, you understand Scotland Yards conducting its own investigation
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: of the battling murders.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, quite, Inspectulus, stars quite.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: In due time.
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: Of course, we should know, doubt trap this peculiaris as him.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: However, knowing your taste for.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: The unusual, and admitting that you have some gallons in
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: these matters.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Coming from you, Inspector, I consider that a great comfortence
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Indeed, we've never been reluctant to give the official police
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: a hand in these unusual matters.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Hey, hosts, no, what we have not now? Then inspecton? Yes, yes,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: let us review the facts. A mysterious and deadly killer
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: is roaming the metropolis of London. His special victims are
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: persons of great prominence. In the last three weeks he's
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: assassinated a great English beauty, a champion heavyweight futurist, a
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: world famous astronomer, and a famous admiral.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, and every one of them a likely candidate for
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: any Hall of Day.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Quite Watson, quite, But to continue inspecton. In each case
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the celebrated victims valuables were not taken from their copsies.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: In short, we made a deuce that those important people
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: were murdered for some other motive.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Rather than money. That is correct me to Huns. But
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we have found no gills, no traits.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Exactly inspected, Austrade, you find no clue, no trae. You
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: have let the trail go cold, and we must make
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a fresh start. Come Watson, virtuo Home Baker Street, My
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: dear fellow Baker speak to think the plan to use
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: the tools of logic, assuming of course, that we are
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: fortunate enough to find a cab in this foul weather.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Why jove, Holmes, we're in luck. There's a cab at
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the curb right here on Darby Street. You can just
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: make it out in this beastly far's hello, that hello,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: cab early seen us? You know, I must say I
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: anticipated the dreary until we wait. It's rather surprised the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: cab run. He's driving his horse, spread, Holmes, he's trying
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: to run us down homes.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Are you all right?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: What's I'm quite all right. Just managed to get out
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: of the way of those horses.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, with that drive. What the jews was he trying
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to do of this, My.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Dear Watson, he was trying to kill me.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank heaven, Holmes were finally heard Baker Street. I've
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: had a feeling that some kind of danger was stalking
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: us through this wretched farm.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: That's quite Watson.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: As for myself, I am aware of the danger, not
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: as a mere presentiment, but as an actual fact. What
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: do you mean the driver of the carriage on Darby's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: feet he might very well be the assassin we seek. Remember, Watson,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I am a person of some renown and am therefore
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: vulnerable to his rather peculiar taste for victims. Here's our door.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yes, what we need now, Holmes, is a good fire.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Hooves the top of the steps outside of flat.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: There's some one looking there, see shadow? Quick, what's down
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: down the.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Hoose? Hose of you?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I'm all right? Will it just grazed my neck, went
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: through the color of my great coat. Quick up the stairs,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: offering well hose.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: The beggar went up the stairs under the roof. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: lost him in the fog. Cus it homes. Yes, Watson,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you think this assassin's is the same.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Who is accounted to the others. Yes, I must certainly
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: think he is the driver of that carriage and the
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: man looking in our hallway are one of the same.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Well hopes.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You've got to be careful.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: He's made two attempts on your life, and one night
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: the beggar may try still again.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Undoubtedly he will, Watson. It seems that for the moment
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the hunter becomes the hunted. But I hope to reverse
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that order in a very short time.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Dash it homes. I must say, you're rather matter of
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: fact about this whole.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Thing, quite Watson. I'm thoroughly aware that my personal existence
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: is in great jeopardy, but I cannot allow any emotion
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: on this scord to cloud my reason. The assassin who
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: seeks my life is a very cool fellow, and I
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: must meet him on his own ground. But the hour
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: is late, Watson. There'll be time enough tomorrow to deal
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: with my assailant.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: What the what's wake up.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Homes?
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: What the devil?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: We seem to have a nocturnality time, mister Hall, mister Holt,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: for the love of Heaven, met me any if I
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: had your pistol ready, Watson, as I'm already host.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Wonder what the juice the beggar want? Three o'clock in
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: You'll soon see, my dear.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Well, it's a hard names. Governor of the Bank of.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Ingram Mister Holmes, shut.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: The door quicker by jove, he's got a gas across
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: his cheek.
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, doctor Watson. An assassin attacked me with a
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: knife near my home.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Just grave me. It was not seriously bleeding stuff.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I came straight here. Pray be seated, retch johnself. Thank
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you now then will say you were attacked, Yes, mister Holmes, Yes,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I couldn't get a glimpse of him in the fog.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: But I think the fellow followed me to your very door. Interesting, then, Holmes,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it must be the same fellow. Undoubted they wants them.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: The killer is abroad tonight, pursuing his strange custom of
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: hunting illustrious persons such as Sir Hartley.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: How does it happen, Sir Hartley, that you didn't go
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: to the official police.
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: Or impossible, Doctor Watson. That could be an only disaster.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: The financial structure of the empire is based on delicate factors.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: If it became known that my life was in jeopardy,
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: it might cause a panic on the exchange, a run
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: on the bank.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Sir Hartley is quite right, Watson. Mister Holmes, what shall
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I do at the moment? There's but one thing to do,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Sir Hartley. Dr Watson and I will escort you to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: your home, and when you get there, lock your door
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and boat your windows, and under no circumstances leave unless
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I summon you.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Well, now that we've seen, Sir Hartley safely under lock
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: and key, if you look forward to a night's sleep there,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: good Lord, five in the morning.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, Onston, it's good to be back at Baker.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Street, especially in view of this beastly weather. The fobs
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: turned to rain. Oh someone's coming.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Our way, begging your pardon, gentlemen, which one of you
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: is Sherlock Holmes?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I am Sherlock Holmes.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Oh indeed, so you are the great homes the world's
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: most famous detective.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Cat not thensas state your business?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: Oh, oh, my dear mister Holmes, I have no business.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: It's it's just.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: That I wanted to look at you. It isn't often
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the poor man like myself can stand face to face
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: with the great person like yourself. No, indeed, it isn't often.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I must say, you look exactly like your photographs.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you. I am flattered. And now, my good man,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: if you've had your fillip staring at me, we should
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: like to enter our quarters.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, no offense, mister Holmes, the offense at all. It's
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: just that I'll be able to tell my friends I.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Thought a great home.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: The cheek of the fellow horses, the infernal impudence of
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the bounder.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Watson, Hey, did you notice that old man's coat and shoe?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: I know, interesting that it holds what in blazers are
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: you talking about?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: First, Watson?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: The man's coat was hardly wet yet it's raining. The second,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: certain areas of his boots seemed to be waterproofed. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: rain dampened the letter only in spotches.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Well, what of it?
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: I merely mentioned these of elementary observations, Watson, which may
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: or may not soo significant. But for the first time
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I believe I see a glimmer of light in this
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: very intriguing adventure. Well, doctor Watson, so far it's been
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: quite a story, yes, mister.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Harris, and I might add that events thereafter shape themselves
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: with dizzying speed. I shall relate to you the second
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: half of this remarkable adventure after you tell your audience
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: some remarkable facts about clipper cross clips.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: They are remarkable, indeed, doctor Watson. When I describe the
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: qualities of clipper craft clothes to you, I myself sometimes
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: think that clipper craft values seem too good to be true.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: But clipper craft fabrics are actually.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: As luxurious as they are long unwear, and the superior
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: talent of clippercraft experts shows up admirably in the smart
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: hang of your jacket, the comfortable, roomy fit of your
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: clipper craft suit. It's when you check all these superb
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: features against the amazingly low priced for suits bearing the
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: clipper Craft label that you realize clipper Craft values are
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: nothing short of sensational, only forty and forty five dollars.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Why even a pure worsted suit with the clipper Craft
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: label costs only forty five dollars. Yes, you save plenty
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: because more than twelve hundred independence doors throughout America have
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: concentrated their vast purchasing power to make these great Clippercraft
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: values possible.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: That's why men who know insist.
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: On clipper Craft clothes bearing the clipper Craft label. So
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: be short of visit clipper Craft store in your city.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: These leading stores in the metropolitan area are proud to
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: have their names to clipper Craft in your suits, top
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: coats and overcoats. In Manhattan, Sachs thirty four Broadway at

• 10:22
  Speaker 1: And in Jamaica the B and B Clothed, the.
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: Shop one sixty four oh eight Jamaica Avenue, and now
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: Doctor Watson. You were relating to us the adventure of
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: the fabulous celebrity.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, mister Harris, I was on the evening after I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: encounter with a strange old man a note with thrust
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: and droud door. It carried the wax and sea the
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Bank of England at Its signer was Sir Hotley Am.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: It was an urgent method from Sir Hatley, bidding us
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: to meet him that night at the warehouse he owned
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: at arm dead Wark, London Bridge. The note said simply
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: that Sir Hartley had some new and vital information on
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: the assessed and he wished to transmit this information to us.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: I was watching my friend's face as he finished reading
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: the letter, and I saw his eyes narrow. Then quickly
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Holmes examined the seal through his magnifying glass.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Ah, what is it, my dear Watson. This feel of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: the Bank of Engdon is a forgery, precisely a devilishly
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: clever piece of work of pine imitation. The forgery, nevertheless,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: send the letter is focus on the will.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: And it's a trap. Someone is trying to lure us
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: to that. Well quite well, then we better hurr it
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: to Sir Hartleys than warn him.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I fear it too, Lake Watson, I'm willing to wager
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that sir Hartley has in some similar manner endured from
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: his home. I'm willing to wage up further that he
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: is at the warehouse with Holmes.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: If it's a trap, surely will not go in.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: On the contrary, we are perhaps, Watson, we can spring
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the killer trap without favoring the ch.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: So where houses are dark and chilly.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: Purse was.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Thirty And if I'm with you there, watch and it
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: only seems as I have a feeling we're being watched.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Tell you the truth?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: So do I walking up this corridor between these huge
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: piles and machineries.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, marine machinery, the hearty aims, among other things on
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: the steamship line.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And Hose, what is it?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I just kicked something?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Something solid?
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: It felt low my body. There's quick Pott in the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: match here you are, Hose, quick Heavens. It's a Hartly aim, Yes,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: shut through the heart and note Watson, there's a flake
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: of paraffine and his left nostril a significant detail on
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: my dad.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: That's what hold? What are you doing?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: A quick setch of the heartless pockets? I have an
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: eye the other.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Is it hose note, Watson, a porged note.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: From myself, just not hardly asking him to meet us here.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: So that's how so hotly is your from his.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Holy you remember I gave him strict orders not to move,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and if he heard from him, Watson, that kind of creaked.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Just the bbbit's poppling down the car. What's you are? Right?
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: His homes?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: There goes the killer. He running too a brear entrance.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Halt you, blagger, half cassid hose the the beggar got
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: away from us again he did. Indeed, Watson, I must confess, Homes.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I'm not the hand with the pistol. I was at
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: my wand you know time and age, jim a man's
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: arm a thin. I saw the boundary shadow moving along
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: the fence behind the warehouse. Here I saw him go
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: through the real gate. Did I'm all the word?
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Come, Watson, don't be too upset. Our quarries sought to
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: kill two birds with one stone that he managed to
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: down only one moreover in his escape, He's unwittingly given
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: us some valuable information. It is significant that he did
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: not hurdle that low fence, but chose a long way
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: to the gate, even though you were firing at him.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I confess, don't you, Watson?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Come then, come the conclusion of elementary generate. I'm becoming
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: rather tired of being struck by the Sussassin. I know
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: who he is, and it's high time we closed with him.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: You know who he is?
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I do, indeed more than.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: That, I know when I can find him well in
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a large brick building on Melbourne Road, just east of
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Baker Street, and only a few doors from.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Our own room.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: That brick building precisely what it houses, that famous London museum,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Madam Tussaul's Waxworth.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Wooden blazes homes. Would the killer be doing it? Madam
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Tussau's Waxworth supposed to go.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: There and find out? Watson, you mean tomorrow morning and
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the contrary, Watson, I mean tonight. All right, pots and
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: close that window.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Jenny, I suppose you're aware we're breaking.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: My dear Watson, I cannot quibble with legal technicalities at
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: this moment. Come that's inspected museum.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Oh it's a early places night. I must say. All
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: these wax figures standing around, they look juice in life
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: like that look hot. Here's Napoleon Bonapart Judus Caesar Oliver Cromwell,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: whose well.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It's yes, what's in a new wax effigy of the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Hartley Ends made within the last ten minutes. The waxing
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: face is still warm to the touch, and the scar
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: from the assassin's knife still shows.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: And the killer made a mold of Sir Hartley's face
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: as he lay dead in the warehouse.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Decisely watch them.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: You recall a fake of paraffine we found into Hartley's nostril.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: And what assumes right under that door?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: So who is shore the hundred grips with our quality?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: That is who?
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Now the pistol is already follow me. There was no
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: one in here whose true seems to be a small workshomp.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, hoose, good lord, look at that waxen statchues.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Yes you recognize it, Watson, Well.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: It's a waxen image of you, Hose.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: It is indeed made by our master artist, our friend
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: dear captain, getting in a little preliminary work before he
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: did away with me. I do think the nose is
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a little too aquiline, and the face rather thin. But
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Watson's get back against the wall, the killers coming back
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: into his workshop. But those who is it obvious the
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: strange old man. We met on the pavement at the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: entrance to Baker Street.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Be ready when he comes to Martin.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Stand where you are and don't reach for that knight,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: My dear fellow, I assure you doctor Watson will not
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: hesitate to blow your head off. But the slight is provaca.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: That's all you've caught me, Mister Holmes, you've finally caught hold.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I have, indeed, and I assure you that you're hung
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: for your crimes in very short order.
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter, mister Holmes, nothing matters. Let them hang
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: me now, Let them hang Old Lufflur, the greatest artist
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: in wax. The world is even home in Heaven's.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Name, Laflir, Why did you commit these these terrible murders
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: to Watson?
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: I am an artist, a great artist, Hi Luffleur, who
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: studied under the great marinee to all. But I am
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: old and sick, and I have not long to live.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: The museum was about to retire me, and that I
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: didn't want to retire. I still had what to do.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: There are great men and women still living worthy of
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: recognition in Madame Pruto's waxworks. I wanted to carve their
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: images in wax for posterity. But I had so little time,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: so little time, and the museum would not allow me
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: to immortalize them until they were dead.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: So you took matters in your own hand.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Yes, mister Holmes, I couldn't wait for them to die,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: so I had to kill them myself. You, mister Holmes,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: you were to be my greatest brier.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: I had already begun.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: Work on you and reserved a favored place for you
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: here in the museum nat Ton Pourium.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Host. Now we have delivered our passin to inspect the
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: strad I still don't see how you detected all the flowers,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: but how you traced him to Madame Tusser.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I'm pious by dear Watson's. First of all, I knew
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the killer was an old man. Remember he was not
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: agile enough to climb over that low fence in the
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: rear of the warehouse, even when he was under fire.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Then to Watson, you recall the time he met old
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: outflirred in the rain in front of our rooms here. Yes,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: his coat was only slightly wet. That indicated he walked
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: for a short distance, and Madame Tussau's is only a
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: few steps from here, but his boots gave him away
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Watson's house. They were waterproof in some spots and work
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: in others. That meant that his boots were splotched with
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: drippings of wax. Watsons, the material of his profession, the
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: forgery of the wax seal of the Bank of England,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and of course the flake of paraffine which foundhim to
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Harts nostrils were added evidence. There is only one question
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: left unanswered in my mind, Watson.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, what's that post?
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I wonder how I would have looked in wax standing
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: next to Napoleon. Well, doctor Watson, that was an exciting adventure. Indeed,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: thank you, mister Harris.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I thought you'd find it interesting. However, I might add
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: that Holmes never got his wish. Madame Tussau's waxworks burned
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: down in marks of nineteen twenty five, and all the
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Napoleonic relics were destroyed.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: See and doctor, what adventure will have for us next week?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Next week, mister Harris, I shall relate to you the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: adventure of the Bloomsbury Ballast. It concerns a punch ticket,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: an empty cold scuttle and a sentimental soft
