0:56
I Needed to Know I Learned from Colombio audiobook in the iTunes Store, and
1:03
I'm glad we're able to do that. It's been available as an ebook for
1:06
some time, but not everyone has ebook readers, and I know a lot
1:11
of people enjoys audiobooks. That's why All I Needed to Know I Learned From
1:17
Columbo is available in both the iTunes Store as well as on audible dot Com.
1:22
In addition, there's my novel Tales of the Dam Night, as well
1:26

1:32
expertly narrated by Scott Wilcox. I encourage you to check out those audiobooks at
1:38
audible dot com and in the iTunes store. But now let's get into today's
1:42
adventure. Of Sherlock Holmes, The Adventure of the Second Sting, The Adventures
2:00
of Sherlock Holmes, The Original and Immortal Stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle dramatized
2:06
Daniel, with Sir Ralph Richardson as Doctor Watson and Sir John Gielgud in the
2:12
role of Sherlock Holmes. Ladies and gentlemen. I think I may have shown
2:35
in the course of these narratives of mine, but the exploits of my friend
2:38
Sherlock Holmes ranged from affairs of the humblest order to matters concerning the very highest.
2:46
In the land of the letter. There are many which perhaps can never
2:53
be true for reasons of diplomacy or even scampbell. And in those that can,
3:00
dates and names sometimes must be disguised, even now, particularly in the
3:06
unusual adventure which I have called the Second State. Oh, mister Holmes,
3:17
well, Missus Hudson, you seem a little over order, if I may
3:20
say so. Oh, it's the gentleman, sir, the two gentlemen to
3:23
see you waiting downstairs. Sir, Well, we've seen gentlemen before, Missus
3:28
Hudson. Yes, our lives would hardly be economically possible without our visiting clients.
3:31
But mister Holmes, doctor Watson, Sir, in Baker Street, my
3:38
humble Homecome, come, missus Hudson, Not the Prince of Wales, not
3:42
from off, Sir, it's the Prime Minister, sir, the Prime Minister
3:46
of England. Sir. Well, well, my dear Holmes, your dressing
3:50
gown, oh here, take this, take this, give me my jacket,
3:53
my dear fellow. Yes, show him up, Missu Hudson, show
3:55
him up. He mustn't keep the Prime Minister waiting. So into our humble
4:00
sitting room came those two great men, Lord Bellinger, the Premier, and
4:05
his companion, the Secretary for European Affairs, the right Honorable Trelawney Hope.
4:13
So, gentlemen, I take it I may have the honor to be of
4:16
some service to you. You are our only hope, mister Holmes. The
4:19
Prime Minister suggested you at once the moment I told him of by dreadful loss.
4:24
It was impossible for us to go to the police at full loss,
4:27
sir. Indeed, yes, to inform the police would be to inform the
4:30
public, and that is what we particularly desire to avoid. An important state
4:35
document is missing mislaid while in mister Hope's possession. And it is of such
4:41
importance that peace or war may hang up on the issue, I understand,
4:45
my lord. Now I should be obliged if mister Hope would kind of tell
4:48
me the exact circumstances under which this document disappeared. Of course, sir,
4:54
But this gentleman, your companion, doctor Watson, is in my confidence in
4:59
everything I undertake. Indeed, it is really almost impossible for me to embark
5:01
upon a case without even you can rely upon his discretion implicitly till the very
5:05
utmost gentleman, I promise it very well. Then it's a letter, mister
5:10
Holmes, I can tell you that it's a letter from a certain foreign potentate.
5:15
Mister Holmes, let us leave its own quite so for the moment at
5:18
least. Well, when was it received? May I ask? Six days
5:21
ago? It was so important that I've never even left it in my safe.
5:27
I've taken it across each evening to my house in Whitehall Terrace and kept
5:30
it in a lock dispatch box in my bedroom. It was there last night.
5:33
You're certain of that, quite certain. I opened the box while I
5:38
was dressing for dinner. And saw it there this morning it was gone,
5:42
the box itself, no, only the letter. My wife and I are
5:46
both light sleepers, mister Holmes, were both prepared to swear that no one
5:48
could have entered the room during the night, And yet the paper's gone.
5:53
I faced, ruin, ruin. What time do you dine, mister Hope
5:57
Halpas seven? And how long was it before you went to bed? My
6:00
wife had gone to a theater. I waited up for her. It was
6:02
half past eleven before we retired to our room. Yes, then for four
6:06
hours the box had lain unguarded. No one is ever permitted to enter that
6:11
room except two trusted servants who are beyond suspicion. Who else knew of the
6:15
existence of that letter? No one in the heart, not your wife knows.
6:18
I said nothing to her until I missed the paper this morning. Is
6:21
there anyone else, my Lord in England who could possibly know of the existence
6:25
of this letter? Only the members of the Cabinet, mister Holmes, but
6:29
all under the pledge of secrecy which attends every Cabinet meeting and abroad. I
6:33
believe no one saved the man who wrote it, And may I ask his
6:36
name? Mister Holmes. The envelope is a long, thin one of a
6:43
pale blue color. That is all I think that you need to know.
6:47
Well, I'm quite aware that you are two of the busiest men in the
6:51
country, and in my own small way, I have a good many calls
6:55
upon my time. I regret exceedingly that I cannot help you in this matter.
6:58
Wotton, would you kind he ring the belt home? How dare you?
7:01
I am not a m Very well, we must accept your terms.
7:08
I suppose no doubt. It is unreasonable of us to expect you to act
7:12
without our entire confidence. Thank you, my lord. Pray sit down again,
7:15
Watson Ah. Now, then, gentlemen, the letter is from a
7:18
certain foreign potentate who has been ruffled by some recent colonial developments in this country.
7:25
It was written hurriedly and in anger on his own responsibility entirely, and
7:30
his ministers know nothing about it. You mean, his Highness, the Crown
7:33
Prince of mister Holmes. Very well, sir, let me write it down
7:38
on the slip of paper. Am I correct? My lord? Quite correct?
7:45
And you'll see at once the applications if that document should fall into the
7:48
hands of any other chancellery in Europe. A breach would be made between this
7:53
potentate in our country, with fatal consequences. You must find it, Holmes,
7:57
great heavens, you must, sir. My whole future depends upon it.
8:00
I shall do my best to help you, mister Hope. I can
8:03
do no more. But if the theft occurred last night before you retired,
8:07
as it must have done, the paper must at this moment be speeding on
8:09
its way to the continent as fast as steam can take it. My lord.
8:15
Well, mister Holmes, if I may presume to advise you, Yes,
8:18
yes, there's only one course open to you. What is it,
8:22
sir? Prepare for war, my lord. I shall do what I can,
8:26
but at least prepare for war. Good day, gentlemen, they've gone
8:41
well well, Holmes, who behave most discreetly, my dear fellow. I
8:46
was so proud of you, your whole air detached interest of silent helpfulness.
8:52
You know you've missed your calling, my dear Watson. You ought to have
8:54
been a diplomat. Oh, it's no laughing matter, Holmes, you thinks
8:58
not, And it's really is a most serious affair. Alarmingly so about the
9:01
situation, though desperately serious, is not quite hopeless, I believe. What
9:05
do you intend to do? There are several foreign agents, big names among
9:09
the international spy ring. If one of them should be missing, especially if
9:13
he's disappeared since last night, we shall then have some indication of where the
9:18
letter may have gone. Ah, yes, yes, But if none of
9:22
them is missing, then we can take it that the letter hasn't left the
9:24
country yet. That would be something of a miracle. And in that case,
9:28
well I might be able to get it back. After all, I
9:31
have the whole British treasury behind me. If it's on the market, I'll
9:35
buy it back, even if it means another penny on the income text.
9:39
But who are the likely agents? Only three that are big enough, Oberstein
9:45
Larotier and Eduardo Lucas. Well, Oh, my dear fellow, you look
9:54
so white. What on earth's the matter? Heaven knows. You've astonished me
9:58
more than once with some spectacular announcement. Now it's my turn. Well Watson,
10:03
Eduardo Lucas Holmes, you said Lucas, I think here is of course
10:07
at the dolphin Steed exactly who won't see Lucas homes? And why not pray
10:11
it was murdered in his house last night, Lucas, you don't mean it.
10:16
I was reading about it before our visitors arrived. Eduardo Lucas, the
10:22
well known society flemmer and distinguished amateur tenor murdered most brutally by a knife in
10:28
the heart. What an amazing coincidence, homes coincidence, man, great heavens,
10:33
you can't really mean it, Eduardo Lucas. Did I tell you watson't
10:39
Holmes home? Mister Holmes? Well, well, well, what's the matter,
10:41
missus Hudson? Do I, sir, twice in one day to think
10:46
that my humble room on earth? What is it this time? Woman?
10:50
The lady Hilder, Sir? Who did you say? The lady Hilder for
10:54
Lawny home, mister Holmes, the wife of the gentleman with Lord by Holmes.
11:01
You're dressing gun, you're dressing gun? I jacket, Miss Hudson,
11:03
please. And a moment later, our modest apartment, already so distinguished that
11:07
morning, was further honored by the entrance of the loveliest woman in London,
11:13
nay in the world. I'd often heard of the beauty of the youngest daughter
11:18
of the Duke of Belminster, but no description no contemplation of a lifeless photograph
11:22
had prepared me for the subtle, delicate charm and the beautiful modeling of that
11:28
exquisite head. And I am not, I think without taste as a judge
11:31
in such things. Yet that morning the lovely cheek was paled with emotion.
11:37
The eyes were bright, but with the brightness of fever of terror. Mister
11:41
Holmes, I beg you. Has my husband been here? Yes, madam,
11:46
I beg you. Implore you to say nothing to him of this visit
11:48
of mine. Lady Hilda, you placed me in a very delicate position.
11:52
Mister Holmes. There was a most deplorable occurrence at our house last night,
11:56
or you must know. But since it was a political better, my husband
12:01
refuses to take me into his complete confidence. Indeed, what was that missing
12:05
paper? What was it? Madam? That is something I cannot answer.
12:09
If your husband thinks fit to keep you in the dark, it is hardly
12:11
for me to tell you. I am pleasured to professional secrecy. Well tell
12:16
me at least then, for Heaven's sake, is my husband's professional career likely
12:20
to suffer through the incident. Yes, I fear so, mister Holmes,
12:24
from something that my husband said when he first discovered the last this morning.
12:28
I please go on. I understand the terrible public consequences might arise from the
12:35
loss of this document. Perhaps even you said so, Lady Hilda. It
12:41
is not for me to deny it. Won't you tell me? Mister Holmes,
12:46
I implore you, what was that missing paper? Then? I must
12:52
take up no more of your time. I can't blame you if you feel
12:56
you can't speak more freely. The matter must have been grave. Indeed before
13:01
you were ever consulted, and I'm sure you won't think the worst of me
13:05
for wanting to share my husband's anxieties, even against his will. I can
13:13
only beg you once again to say nothing of my visit. It would only
13:16
worry him the more. Good day. Well, well, wasn't wasn't that
13:26
extraordinary? The fair Sex Watson that is your department? I think yes,
13:31
when you finished gazing out of the window to get a last glimpse of our
13:35
elegant charmer, perhaps you will be kind enough to tell me what you think
13:39
she came for. Shelly Sully. Her own statement was clear enough, Holmes,
13:43
anxiety was very natural, yes, no doubt. Yet you must have
13:46
observed how very prettily. She maneuvered her chair so as to keep her back
13:50
to the light. She didn't want us to read her expressions. You said
13:54
the same about the woman from Margaret who came to see us a month ago.
13:58
It turned out that she wanted because she had no powder on our notes.
14:01
True. True. The motives of women are certainly inscrutable. It's difficult
14:05
to build upon such quicksands. Their most important decisions may depend upon a hairpin
14:11
or a pair of curling tongues. Well, good morning, Watson, what
14:15
are you going home? Oh? Just for a little while to good Dolphin
14:20
Street. I think our friendless trade of the yard is sure to be there
14:22
by this time. Eduardo Lucas murdered. There lies the solution, Watson.
14:28
Do you stay on guard here, my dear fellow, and receive any further
14:31
distinguished visitors who may honor our humble abode Whilst I am away, I'll join
14:37
you for lunch, Watson, cutlets and green peas. If you could think
14:41
of that all day and the next day. Holmes was in a mood which
15:11
some might call taciturn and others morose. He ran out and ran in,
15:18
smoked, incessantly played his violin, sank into riverlies, devoured sandwiches at irregular
15:24
hours, and hardly answered the casual questions I put to him. I felt
15:30
a sense of impending doom as I watched London from our window, going about
15:35
its busy duties. I reflected that any moment the newsboys would cry havoc,
15:41
and the flower of our youth go marching off to war. As to the
15:45
murder of Lucas, that remained as much a mysterday as the theft of the
15:48
document. He'd been stabbed to the heart with a curved oriental dagger, a
15:54
trophy that hung on the wall of his room. It seems that nothing had
15:58
been stolen. An examination of his papers disclosed him as a keen student of
16:03
international politics. That was all. Then suddenly, well we've solved it,
16:11
mister Holmes. Really, less Trade, have you? Why not? Eh?
16:15
We have our methods to you know, he means the murder, Holmes,
16:18
only the murder. Oh more, Mistress, mister Holmes, what's in
16:22
the wind? Nothing? Nothing, Watson's just wool gathering my deal, estate
16:26
or Sally Holmes. Don't mention it, my dear fellow, sit down,
16:30
won't you? Less Trade? Have a cigar. Oh no, sir,
16:33
I won't, if you'll forgive me. I was going to suggest we went
16:36
round there to Godolphin Street. There's a little something that might interest you.
16:40
Ah, well, what's happenless trade, I think you said just now that
16:44
you've solved it. Well, as near as makes no matter, we'd a
16:48
telegram from the Paris police. Do you see? Seems this Lucas fellow has
16:52
been a bit of a dog in his time, very handsome, kind of
16:56
chap and so forth. He's been living a double life. It seemed he
17:00
had a wife in Paris or your department again, my dear Watson, creole
17:03
woman as a matter of effect for their hot blooded creoles. Yes, you
17:07
know what women are like, doctor Watson. Well well perhaps, well let's
17:11
tray what's happened. Well, he'd been going at a bit in London,
17:15
you know, one way and another, so we rackon. She got jealous.
17:18
According to the parish fellows, she's gone quite mad since Tuesday, and
17:22
it was established that she had been in London on the night of the murder.
17:26
She was seen near Godolphin Street. Yes, yeah, it could only
17:32
have been some kind of coincidence like that. Otherwise the thing would have been
17:36
public property by this time. What is it, mister Holmes, strikes me.
17:40
Your mind's hardly on the business. I don't thought it would have appealed
17:44
to you. Nothing, let's tray and nothing at all. What was it
17:45
you said just now might interest me over at Lucas's house? Ah? Yes,
17:49
the one small detail, mister Holmes, nothing very important, you know,
17:53
just a bit freakish. We'd best go round to the house and i'll
17:59
show you you two. Doctor, Eh, it's rather in your line as
18:03
well. Oh really, Oh of course you know. I might even call
18:07
it the mystery of the sick and stain, gentleman. The murder solved,
18:12
but there's still a mystery of the sick and stain. Eh. Come in,
18:21
let's round the Cadolphin Street now then, mister Holmes, Doctor Watson,
18:33
this is the very room you see him where he was murdered. Ah.
18:37
Indeed, now look here to see him the rug master, Holmes. Now
18:41
just look at their rug, gentlemen, you see when there's a crime of
18:45
this sort, where they careful to keep things in position. We've had an
18:48
officer in charge here, dad night, quite so I noticed him as we
18:52
came in. Now then, we'd a notion to tidy things up of it
18:55
today. Now the body's been buried, and such an whole thing solved.
19:00
Were the rug isn't fastened down, you see, only just laid there,
19:03
for we'd occasion to raise it. And we found the blood stain there,
19:08
see the blood stain on the road. Yes, yes, Now, then
19:11
a great deal of blood matter soaked through. And undoubtedly, undoubtedly it must.
19:15
And yet you'll be surprised, doctor, for there isn't a stain on
19:19
the white woodwork beneath to correspond. But there must be the trade. It's
19:23
it's impossible. So you'd say, look at the under side of the rug
19:29
sustained as the upper. See, yet there isn't a mark on the floor.
19:33
What's what's now? Let me give you the explanation, doctor, There
19:38
is a second stain, you see. Look, let me move this other
19:44
edge. Yeah over year. Now, then there's the stain on the woodwork
19:49
beneath another part of the rug. Altogether, what do you make of that?
19:52
Ain't come homes You don't seem to be attend into this. Oh,
19:56
it's a simple enough, Shirley. The two stains did correspond, but the
20:00
rugs being turned around. Is he homes? We hardly need mister Holmes his
20:07
famous methods to tell us that. Doctor Washington, Now the dearest trade.
20:11
Didn't you say that the constable out there had been in constant charge of this
20:15
place? Yes, well, then take my advice, lest trade. Go
20:18
out and examine him privately. Don't do it here before us. We'll wait
20:21
in this room. Ask him how he dares to admit strange people and leave
20:25
them alone in this room. No, no, don't ask him, tell
20:27
him take it for granted by sure. If he has, I'll get it
20:33
out of him. You mean, I mean hurry man, hurry, right,
20:37
sir, I'll do it at once now, then, Watson, in
20:41
Heaven's name, get off that rugby What what do you mean the rug?
20:45
Pull away the rug? Huh? Turn it right back? No, quick,
20:52
examine the floor underneath it. There must be a kevity here, kevity?
20:56
What do you mean, Holmes in the boar man the floorboards? Huh?
21:02
Look for a loose one. Ah, yeah, yeah, I've got
21:07
it. What's not? It's a hole. It's a kind of kind of
21:11
safe. Yeah ah, but it's empty. I might have known. Get
21:15
the rugging place again quickly, Watson, pays, coming back quick quick,
21:19
here we are. That's all right. Well you are right, mister Holmes.
21:26
My first time he has confessed. I'm sorry, sir, I'm really
21:30
sorry. I never meant any harm. I never said you did. What
21:33
happened? A young woman, sir, came to the door last night.
21:37
It was and this duke the host, she said, And then we got
21:42
talking. It's kind of lonesome when you're in duty. You're known, well,
21:47
man, speak up. So she asked if she could see where the
21:51
crime was done. I didn't see any harm if she just had a peep
21:55
and you let her in here, eh well, she said, coaxing ways,
21:59
sir. Then when she saw the blood you see, I guess she
22:03
kind of fainted, sir, right down on the rug here, did she?
22:07
Indeed? And so you went to get some water. I supposed to
22:10
bring her round, yes, sir, from the kitchen downstairs. And she
22:14
was all right when I came back, and then she went away. I
22:17
didn't mean any harm, sir, don't McPherson. Did you notice anything about
22:19
the rug when you came back? Eh? Rug? Well, so it
22:23
was a big kind of rumpled where she fell, So I just straightened it.
22:27
Sort of. I see McPherson. Come over here, would you.
22:30
I want to show you something. Just excuse me a moment, gentleman.
22:34
Now look here, McPherson, this photograph. Do you recognize it? Good
22:41
lord? Yes, sir, how did you know? Never mind, come
22:45
Watson, Thank you, Thank you, Constable McPherson. You've inspired me man,
22:51
and perhaps you've saved your country too. Look here, mister you too,
22:56
less trait, of course, my best. Congratulations, Good day,
23:00
gentlemen, congratulations, good day. I hurried after him. He was,
23:04
as he's most typical, he's most excited, as he was at the climax
23:10
of all his great solutions. I could only marvel, could only share the
23:14
excitement of the extraordinary man by my side as we were ushered into the Great
23:18
House in Whitehall Terrace and waited for Lady Hilda Holmes. This is surely most
23:26
unfair and ungenerous of you. I implored you to keep our business relations a
23:30
secrets. Unfortunately, Lady Hilda, I had no possible alternative but to visit
23:33
you in pursuit of my commission from the Prime Minister. How do you mean
23:37
I know everything, Lady Hilda, I know of your visit to Eduardo Lucas
23:41
when you gave him that document. I know two of your ingenious return to
23:45
his room last night, and the device which you used to get the letter
23:48
back again from its hiding place under the rug. You're mad, mister Holmes.
23:52
No, lady Hilda, I have no wish to cause you pain or
23:56
to reproach you for your rash behavior. But the piceman on duty recognized you
24:02
from a photograph that I showed him. Oh yes, yes it's true.
24:07
Why did you take it? Madam? Quickly? Quickly? Is a time
24:10
is short? Let me a letter I wrote long ago when I was a
24:15
girl. It was all a misunderstanding, But if it had come into my
24:18
husband's hands, it would have broken his heart. Lucas got hild of that
24:22
somehow. Yes, I had no idea he was such a man. He'd
24:25
always seemed so charming. Then one day he told me that he had that
24:29
letter of mine, and then I could only have it back if I took
24:32
him in exchange a certain document from my husband's dispatch box la very one you
24:37
see on the desk there. Well, he said it was all quite harmless,
24:41
a kind of joke. I was nearly demented with fear. I took
24:45
an impression of the key, and Lucas had a duplicate made, and I
24:49
took the paper to his house. And what happened there, Lady Hilda,
24:53
It was like a horrible dream. As I went in, I saw a
24:57
woman watching the house, a strange dark woman. I gave Lucas the paper,
25:03
and he gave me my letter. Then there was a sound at the
25:06
door, and Lucas pulled back the rag and pushed the paper into a hiding
25:08
place there. And then the door burst open and the woman came in,
25:15
the one i'd seen outside. She was screaming something about at last I found
25:19
you with her. Oh. I ran out in a panic, and the
25:22
last I saw was that she snatched the dagger down from the wall and was
25:26
rushing at him like a wildcats. To Holmes, I can't go on.
25:32
You must, lady Hilda. I suppose you'll realize next day that the paper
25:36
was more important than you thought. Yes, yes, that was why I
25:40
came to you. I saw a ruin facing it, the whole world in
25:44
arms because of my selfishness. And then I thought that the Lucas did,
25:49
the paper would still be in its hiding place, and but you know how
25:52
I went to the house again last night and got it back by a tricked
25:56
someone's coming homes my husband, I know his dip. I can't face mister
26:00
Dolmes. Mister Holmes, what you like doing? Told your story? Well,
26:03
lady Hilda, quickly give me the letter and the key. Here it
26:07
is, thank you. Watson passed me the dispatch box. Yeah down among
26:11
the other papers, yes, deep down, good, good, Now we
26:18
are ready for him. Go quickly, lady Hilda, the other door there,
26:22
compose yourself. All will be well. Oh, Heaven, bless your
26:25
stones, Heaven, bless your bony. Olmes, My dear Holmes, that
26:32
was splended's plended? Oh, mister Holmes. They told me you were here.
26:40
What news have you? I have good news? What, Lord Bennings,
26:44
had you here? You mean you have the paper, mister Holmes,
26:47
Not yet, my lord, That is why I am here. What do
26:49
you mean? I'm not convinced, mister Hope, that the paper has ever
26:52
left this house at all, but it's impossible. If it had, it
26:56
would have been made public by this time. No, gentleman, it's still
26:59
here. I think you have my assurance that it left the box. Mister
27:02
Holmes. I'm not convinced even about sir. Come. This joking is ill
27:04
timed. It's unworthy of you. The box is there, hope it's easily
27:08
enough decided, mister Holmes, if you're joking on such an issue, will
27:12
never joke. Lord Bellinger, as doctor Watson will tell you thinking of surd
27:18
sports from road mellow, memorandum from bell Grain note from Madrid reportful Wait heaven't
27:26
my lord, my lord the blue envelope and the letter intact. It's inconceivable
27:33
and you're a sorcerer. Mister Holmes. How did you know it was there?
27:36
Because I knew it could be nowhere else. I must tell my wife,
27:38
Hilda, Hilda an idea. Ah well, mister Holmes. Oh,
27:48
mister Sherlock Holmes, there's more in this than meets the isiser. How did
27:52
it come there? How you must allow us, Sir, to keep our
27:57
little diplomatic secret. It's good day to you, my lord. I am
28:03
always at your service and at the service of my country. Come Watson.
28:11

28:17
Doyle, have been dramatized on you with original music composed by Sydney Corch.

Sherlock Holmes. The program was produced by Harry Allen Towers. Welcome back.
29:11
This has always been one of the tougher to swallow Sherlock Holmes fake hats.
29:19
I'm somewhat gratified that the Prime Minister doesn't sound like he buys it. But
29:26
what he cares about isn't what really happened, but that it got but that
29:32
it was returned and without falling into the wrong hands. Well, we do
