- 0:01Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson. How about that struggle with Professor
- 0:04Speaker 1: Moriarty that developed into such a dislike for it cabbage.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Yes, it was shortly after my marriage.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Marilli and I were seated at breakfast one fine spring
- 0:13Speaker 3: morning when the maid brought in a telegram, this one
- 0:16Speaker 3: here to be exact. It reads her, have you a
- 0:19Speaker 3: couple of days to spare? Have just been wired for
- 0:22Speaker 3: from west of England in connection with Upper Tottingham mystery.
- 0:26Speaker 3: If convenient, beat me Paddington at eleven fifteen. If inconvenient,
- 0:30Speaker 3: come all the same homes.
- 0:32Speaker 4: What did your wife say to the salmon's dock?
- 0:34Speaker 2: Oh, she urged me to go as usual.
- 0:37Speaker 3: I suspect she was even more interested in Holmes's cases
- 0:39Speaker 3: than I was. Consequently, no time at all she had
- 0:42Speaker 3: me hustled into a cab with a hurriedly pecked valise,
- 0:45Speaker 3: and away I rattled to Paddington station.
- 0:48Speaker 1: I suppose you arrived long before mister Holmes.
- 0:51Speaker 3: On the contrary, I found him pacing up and down
- 0:53Speaker 3: the platform, his tall, gaunt figure, made even gaunter and
- 0:57Speaker 3: taller by his long traveling cloak and close fitting cloth cap.
- 1:02Speaker 3: As he turned out, the train was not too crowded,
- 1:04Speaker 3: and by dint of giving the portress candalously large tip,
- 1:08Speaker 3: Polmer has managed to obtain us a first class.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Carriage to ourselves the auto crowd as usual.
- 1:13Speaker 3: Right. He acknowledged my presence with a snort and surrounded
- 1:17Speaker 3: himself with an immense litter of newspapers and periodicals.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Among these he rummaged and read until we had passed ready.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Then he suddenly rolled him into a gigantic ball and
- 1:27Speaker 3: heaved them up onto the wreck.
- 1:37Speaker 4: The London press has almost completely.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Overlooked the case as usual.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Have you read anything about it.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Watson, My dear Holmes, I'm a busy man. I haven't
- 1:44Speaker 3: seen a newspaper for days.
- 1:45Speaker 5: The whole affair is one of those simple outbursts of
- 1:47Speaker 5: antisocial behavior which is so extremely difficult to get to
- 1:50Speaker 5: the bottom of.
- 1:50Speaker 2: And that sounds a little paradoxical. Yes.
- 1:53Speaker 5: The local banker, who up until the age of sixty
- 1:55Speaker 5: three has led an exemplary in life, elopes with his
- 1:57Speaker 5: wife's hairdresser and most of the bank's fin umans, the
- 2:01Speaker 5: Vicars and James's Tottingham's most conservative church, kicks over the
- 2:04Speaker 5: traces and joins a band of Gypsies, The president of
- 2:07Speaker 5: the Lady's Temperance League delivers a speech on the joys
- 2:09Speaker 5: of backers on the village green, and the head of
- 2:12Speaker 5: Miss Melish's select Seminary has taken to moonlight bathing in
- 2:15Speaker 5: her shift. Good Lord, yes, how would you go about
- 2:17Speaker 5: explaining such an epidemic of unconventionality.
- 2:20Speaker 3: That sounds like a pack of horses that has gone
- 2:22Speaker 3: into a patch of local Read.
- 2:24Speaker 4: That explanation is not as fantastic as it sounds.
- 2:27Speaker 6: My dear Watson Homes, you are not serious.
- 2:29Speaker 5: When the Mayor of Upper Tottenham called for help from
- 2:31Speaker 5: Scotland Yard, they were inclined to pooh pooh the whole
- 2:33Speaker 5: affair until I suggested that Inspector Lestrade send down one
- 2:37Speaker 5: of his bright young men to have a look around.
- 2:39Speaker 5: I suggested they search for a horde of a certain
- 2:41Speaker 5: rare and little known Oriental drug which has the curious
- 2:45Speaker 5: habit of taking away the will power of any one
- 2:47Speaker 5: who takes or is given a dose of It.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Sounds like one of the hypnotics it is.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Watson, in the hands of a reputable doctor, can do
- 2:53Speaker 5: much to relieve ysteria and depression.
- 2:56Speaker 4: If administered mass scoundrel.
- 2:57Speaker 5: It is capable of doing great harm, But who would
- 2:59Speaker 5: want to, my dear Watson, that are unfortunately a great
- 3:02Speaker 5: many people with warped minds who delight in instigating mischief
- 3:06Speaker 5: or worse, Well, to make a long story short, Young
- 3:09Speaker 5: WelCom the man scott and Yacht sent out to investigate,
- 3:12Speaker 5: sent word yesterday in code that he'd found something suspicious.
- 3:15Speaker 5: Not only has he discovered a cache of the stuff,
- 3:18Speaker 5: but he believes it's now being shipped to some laboratory
- 3:20Speaker 5: in London. In other words, Upper Tottingham's just the proving
- 3:23Speaker 5: grounds for a much larger and more sinister project.
- 3:25Speaker 2: So you decided to come and investigate yourselves.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Exactly, but better get your coat on, Watson.
- 3:30Speaker 5: The next stops hours just a small way station abou
- 3:33Speaker 5: toutting him itself is half a mile away.
- 3:35Speaker 7: Hello, ohson, Oh all right, Watson, there's a fine way
- 3:42Speaker 7: to stop a train nearly built the bottom of my
- 3:44Speaker 7: owner format carry in my hip pocket.
- 3:46Speaker 4: No wonder you smell so antiseptic these days.
- 3:49Speaker 3: Watson, or the practicing doctor, never knows when he's going
- 3:51Speaker 3: to need his IOTA form. Why came he way in
- 3:54Speaker 3: such a hurry? I forgot to leave it behind. Someone's
- 3:58Speaker 3: running back along the tracks. There's been an accident, and.
- 4:00Speaker 4: I suspected as much.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I say them idael Man, I'm a doctor, Thank Doug
- 4:03Speaker 2: for that. A man's been hurt, run over, he's under
- 4:05Speaker 2: the engine. Well, I've been right along. Who confound these doors?
- 4:10Speaker 2: The way they've locked me up.
- 4:11Speaker 3: These compartments blasted. I can't get out. I've got a
- 4:14Speaker 3: crow full of window.
- 4:15Speaker 4: Calm yourself, Watson, you forget I can manage any lock.
- 4:18Speaker 5: All I have to do is use this little tool
- 4:20Speaker 5: and open necessity after you, My dear Watson.
- 4:36Speaker 8: Let's say, let me crue, let me through you. I say,
- 4:39Speaker 8: I'm a doctor. Thank the Lord you've come. Not that
- 4:42Speaker 8: there's anything you can do for the poor chap on afraid.
- 4:44Speaker 2: I'll take a look anyway.
- 4:46Speaker 8: I couldn't stop the train whistle. I didn't shoved down
- 4:48Speaker 8: me brakes the first thing I saw him lying there
- 4:50Speaker 8: across the tracks. Why did he have to go and
- 4:52Speaker 8: pick my train? If he wanted to commit suicide.
- 4:55Speaker 4: Then you want to take it to the engineer.
- 4:56Speaker 9: There.
- 4:57Speaker 8: I am, sir Tim Gregory. That's me been driving and
- 5:00Speaker 8: this here trained for twenty seven years. The first time
- 5:02Speaker 8: I ever had an accident like this. If a man
- 5:05Speaker 8: wants to commit suicide, why don't he go and drown
- 5:08Speaker 8: himself or take poison or something neat and tidy? Why
- 5:12Speaker 8: throw himself under a body's train? I'd bloom him. Whistle.
- 5:15Speaker 8: You were at me, you worried me?
- 5:16Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, it wasn't your fault.
- 5:18Speaker 8: There he lay across the tracks. He had plenty of
- 5:20Speaker 8: time to get out of the way.
- 5:21Speaker 4: He was lying on the tracks. What makes you think
- 5:23Speaker 4: he wasn't dead already?
- 5:24Speaker 8: His arm when I whistled, he moved his arm, moved
- 5:28Speaker 8: his arm.
- 5:30Speaker 5: Yes, I think I'll just take a look at that
- 5:31Speaker 5: body myself? And what good led to my good man?
- 5:34Speaker 5: I happened to be Sholock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes, the detective.
- 5:37Speaker 5: Why didn't you say so before?
- 5:39Speaker 2: Here? You clear the way?
- 5:40Speaker 8: Clear the way? Sherlock Holmes wants to take a look
- 5:42Speaker 8: at the body.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Here he is a.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Good chap well, Watson, what's the predict?
- 5:49Speaker 2: Did right enough? Not too badly mangled? However? Here have
- 5:53Speaker 2: a look, homes is it? What's the matter? Why do
- 5:56Speaker 2: you look like that?
- 5:57Speaker 8: Did you know the man? Maybe then you can tell
- 5:59Speaker 8: us why committed suicide.
- 6:01Speaker 4: This isn't suicide, it's murder.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Murder, that's ridiculous. Homes. There are no wounds except those
- 6:07Speaker 2: made by the train.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Yet he was unconscious when the train ran over him.
- 6:10Speaker 2: He must have been. Will you mean drug?
- 6:13Speaker 3: But there's no smell of chloroform, no sign of drugs.
- 6:16Speaker 3: The pupils of his eyes are neither dilated nor contracted.
- 6:19Speaker 8: Maybe if you look in these pockets you'll find a clue.
- 6:21Speaker 2: I doubt it.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Here's his wallet, no identification paper, No, there wouldn't be.
- 6:26Speaker 3: But there's quite a bit of money. And what is
- 6:29Speaker 3: here in his pocket? At any rate, it wasn't robbery?
- 6:32Speaker 8: What makes you so sure it wasn't suicide? Mister Olmes?
- 6:35Speaker 4: His glasses?
- 6:36Speaker 2: He isn't wearing glasses exactly.
- 6:38Speaker 5: Young Welcome always wore glasses, couldn't walk two feet without them.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Olcome you mean this is young Bark offers.
- 6:44Speaker 5: The land agent who was going to show us the
- 6:46Speaker 5: property we were interested in.
- 6:48Speaker 2: Yes, what's some good lord?
- 6:50Speaker 8: Look here, mister Olmes. Even if he wore glasses, they
- 6:53Speaker 8: could hardly be on him now, or they'd have been
- 6:55Speaker 8: knocked off and crashed like it is.
- 6:57Speaker 5: Not And the fragments of glass would be scattered about.
- 6:59Speaker 5: There is no broken glass and no rims. Mister Balcom
- 7:02Speaker 5: always wore gold rim glasses. Watson, you'll go ahead of
- 7:05Speaker 5: the station. It's only two or three hundred jars up
- 7:07Speaker 5: the track right. Tell the station master to send a stretcher.
- 7:09Speaker 5: I'll be along in a minute.
- 7:10Speaker 9: Wait for me in the waiting room.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Deserted little station looks as if a good wind would
- 7:25Speaker 3: blow it over. I say, station master, Hey there, I say,
- 7:28Speaker 3: station Master. That probably gone on down to have a
- 7:33Speaker 3: look at the accident. Hello, This platform is crowded with
- 7:40Speaker 3: crates crates of cabbages.
- 7:44Speaker 2: From the looks of it.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Up at Pottingham could be the cabbage producing center of
- 7:47Speaker 3: the world. It's a bit dizzy, probably too much sun.
- 7:54Speaker 3: All that blood. That stupid of me doctor, should be
- 7:58Speaker 3: used to blood. Go into the waiting room and sit
- 8:01Speaker 3: down for a bitch.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Doors open. Looks cool in there. Hmm.
- 8:09Speaker 3: Deserted as the tomb smells musty in here. Everyone's gone
- 8:16Speaker 3: down to enjoy the accident. What a rotten way to
- 8:19Speaker 3: spend a beautiful day, sit down watching no boys, stop
- 8:24Speaker 3: thinking about it.
- 8:26Speaker 10: Over there on the bench, Hello, steps on something pieces
- 8:33Speaker 10: of glass, broken glass, Wait a bit, let's have a
- 8:38Speaker 10: look at it, by joke, broken lens looking spectacle lens.
- 8:44Speaker 3: There must be more somewhere. They sit over the door.
- 8:50Speaker 3: Those lead into an little room of some sort. Got
- 8:52Speaker 3: a little baggage room. Let's have a look.
- 8:55Speaker 2: Wat's in, my lad, this baggage room? Right? Enough?
- 9:01Speaker 3: More crates of cabbages, let's see just by fundom or

- 9:25Speaker 2: Why right, my dear Dr Watson?
- 9:27Speaker 5: Who are you around here?
- 9:31Speaker 11: I'm known as old Pennyfield, the station agent. But if
- 9:35Speaker 11: your tykes a closer look, I think you will recognize
- 9:39Speaker 11: an old acquaintance.
- 9:40Speaker 3: Good lord, Professor Moriarty, what in places are you doing here?
- 9:45Speaker 11: Seeing that the cabbages from a certain local farm reached
- 9:48Speaker 11: their proper market in London. They are very valuable cabbages,
- 9:52Speaker 11: my dear Watson.
- 9:53Speaker 3: That's good of you to take an interest in them,
- 9:55Speaker 3: but you don't keep the station very tidy. All this
- 9:57Speaker 3: broken glass lying about some messy Yes, I.
- 10:00Speaker 11: Thought you might notice that I was just coming back
- 10:02Speaker 11: to attend to it. One cannot be in two places
- 10:05Speaker 11: at once, you know, as it was, your young friend
- 10:07Speaker 11: from Scotland Yard nearly missed.
- 10:09Speaker 3: His train, so you hit him over the head in
- 10:11Speaker 3: here and tacked his body out and laid it on
- 10:12Speaker 3: the track.
- 10:14Speaker 11: He was just coming to when the train arrived. What
- 10:16Speaker 11: you would call a close squeak.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Aye, will you murderer? Why did you kill him?
- 10:21Speaker 11: He was becoming too interested in my dear little cabbages.
- 10:25Speaker 11: I don't like people who come in here and poke
- 10:27Speaker 11: around my cabbage.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Well, I tell them about the cabbages. I'll tell them
- 10:30Speaker 3: who killed Balcom. I'll tell them you're the notorious Professor Moriarto.
- 10:34Speaker 4: No, you won't, my dear Watson.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Oh, I wouldn't try to kill me if I were you, Moriarty,
- 10:40Speaker 3: I'll shout the house down.
- 10:41Speaker 2: There's quite a crowd gathered. They'd hear me down by
- 10:43Speaker 2: the train. You wouldn't have time.
- 10:45Speaker 3: To disperse on the body before they came pouring in here,
- 10:48Speaker 3: led by my friend sherlock Hole.
- 10:50Speaker 11: Don't allarm you yourself, my dear doctor Watson. I have
- 10:52Speaker 11: no intention of killing you. Oh no, I'm not that stupid.
- 10:56Speaker 2: Well, now you're showing you some sense.
- 10:58Speaker 11: No, I should rea for another purpose. You shall be
- 11:03Speaker 11: my prize guinea pig. What you may have heard of
- 11:06Speaker 11: my little experiments down here, the banker who eloped, the
- 11:09Speaker 11: minister who became a gypsy. They served as the first
- 11:12Speaker 11: examples of my new process.
- 11:15Speaker 2: What's that?
- 11:16Speaker 11: I have perfected a new drug. It can remove a
- 11:18Speaker 11: man's will power. It makes his conscience, his sense of
- 11:21Speaker 11: right or wrong, completely inoperative. I shall take you to
- 11:24Speaker 11: my laboratory in London, where I shall remove.
- 11:27Speaker 4: Your will power.
- 11:28Speaker 11: Yes, I have come part in my study of the
- 11:31Speaker 11: human brain. I can remove your will power as easily
- 11:34Speaker 11: as I can remove your tansil.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Now look, hereturbed.
- 11:39Speaker 11: I shall allow you to retain your own personality. In fact,
- 11:42Speaker 11: I can promise you that you will be back among
- 11:43Speaker 11: your friends inside of who shall we say five days?
- 11:47Speaker 11: The only difference will be that you will have no
- 11:50Speaker 11: scruples about reporting everything to me, particularly the activities and
- 11:55Speaker 11: investigations of our mutual friend, mister Charlat Holmes.
- 12:01Speaker 2: I won't do it, and you can't make me.
- 12:03Speaker 11: You have very little choice. Well, yeah, the roof, you've
- 12:09Speaker 11: missed the chance for that, I'm afraid. Yes, yes, I
- 12:13Speaker 11: was waiting for the fortune train to pass through.
- 12:15Speaker 6: Here she comes.
- 12:16Speaker 11: Yeah, your head off, convenient.
- 12:26Speaker 8: One of my cabbage grace was still open. How neatly
- 12:30Speaker 8: the good doctor fits inside.
- 12:32Speaker 4: Are so cozy, looks quite comfortable.
- 12:36Speaker 11: Now a few cabbages to cover him up so he
- 12:40Speaker 11: won't catch cold.
- 12:56Speaker 1: Of course, you won't fine quality in your clothes, indeed
- 12:58Speaker 1: you owe to yourself and more. It can be yours
- 13:01Speaker 1: without paying a premium for it, because we concentrate on
- 13:04Speaker 1: giving you outstanding value. You can't go wrong at the
- 13:07Speaker 1: fine store in your community that sells Clippercraft clothes. We
- 13:11Speaker 1: planned it that way a long time ago. Your local
- 13:14Speaker 1: Independence store is part of the remarkable Clippercraft Plan, the
- 13:18Speaker 1: plan that concentrates the buying power of ten hundred thirty
- 13:22Speaker 1: six of the nation's greatest stores from coast to coast.
- 13:26Speaker 1: That's why you can buy beautifully tailored suits at only
- 13:29Speaker 1: forty and forty five dollars, handsome tropicals at only thirty
- 13:32Speaker 1: three seventy five to forty dollars, and sport jackets at
- 13:36Speaker 1: only twenty six fifty. Yes, selling expensive clothes at inexpensive
- 13:41Speaker 1: low prices at the nation's finest stores is the great
- 13:44Speaker 1: big idea behind the clipper Craft plan. That's why men
- 13:48Speaker 1: who know insist on clipper Craft clothes. So be sure
- 13:52Speaker 1: to visit the clipper Craft store in your city. And
- 13:56Speaker 1: remember that's one of the ten hundred thirty six leading
- 13:58Speaker 1: retail stores across the nation where courtesy and friendly service
- 14:02Speaker 1: are always yours, the store that is proud to add
- 14:05Speaker 1: its fine name to that of clipper Craft Clothes in
- 14:08Speaker 1: the label of your suit, top coats, sport jacket and tropical.
- 14:11Speaker 1: And remember also not every pattern is always available in
- 14:14Speaker 1: your size, but keep on trying. It will pay you
- 14:17Speaker 1: to wait for clipper Craft clothes. And now back to
- 14:28Speaker 1: the little railway station at Upper Tottingham. Holmes has just
- 14:31Speaker 1: arrived on the platform with the local constable and two
- 14:34Speaker 1: men carrying a heavy pine box.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Thank you constable, and have the men put it there?
- 14:43Speaker 8: Yes, sir, hi there, let's put the coffin there on
- 14:46Speaker 8: the platform, says missus Sherlock Holmes can take it up
- 14:48Speaker 8: to London by the next train. There seems such a
- 14:53Speaker 8: pity you coming down here on purpose to see the
- 14:56Speaker 8: poor chair. Mister Holmes worried about something special one of
- 15:00Speaker 8: your cases, perhaps, Uh.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Nothing like that.
- 15:02Speaker 5: I'm afraid, Constable. Just a friend of mine going to
- 15:06Speaker 5: show me a piece of property. He thought I might
- 15:08Speaker 5: beust in.
- 15:09Speaker 8: And why do you suppose he had to go and
- 15:10Speaker 8: get melancholy and do away with himself at a time
- 15:12Speaker 8: like that?
- 15:13Speaker 4: I'm sure I wouldn't know.
- 15:14Speaker 5: I say, would you be good enough to step inside
- 15:16Speaker 5: the station and see if you can find my friend.
- 15:17Speaker 8: Doctor Watson with pleasure, mister user, What would he look
- 15:20Speaker 8: like now?
- 15:20Speaker 2: Or rather subtle?
- 15:21Speaker 5: Sort of chap top hat, slight mustache, getting a bit portly.
- 15:25Speaker 3: Oh?
- 15:25Speaker 5: Yes, he had a flower in his buttonhole. Married man,
- 15:28Speaker 5: his wife grows pensies and stuff.
- 15:29Speaker 8: Right home, mister Holmes, I understand, swered, way the rooms
- 15:36Speaker 8: empties mid pocket.
- 15:38Speaker 2: How are you station, Marster?
- 15:39Speaker 4: I say, Pennyfield, what you want now? I'm busy counting
- 15:42Speaker 4: up before the nightman comes on?
- 15:44Speaker 8: Have you seen a fat man about top hat with
- 15:46Speaker 8: a pans in his button?
- 15:47Speaker 9: Now?
- 15:48Speaker 2: I have that?
- 15:49Speaker 11: Said he was a doctor, said he'd been to see
- 15:51Speaker 11: the man like kill, told me all about it.
- 15:53Speaker 4: Nasty accident, it must have been.
- 15:54Speaker 11: I won't nice, Yes, must have been right unpleasant, he
- 15:57Speaker 11: acted like it had turned his stomach, So I told him,
- 15:59Speaker 11: why not, I'll have a bit of a lie down
- 16:01Speaker 11: over there on the bitch by the window.
- 16:02Speaker 2: But the bench is empty. Where's he gone off to?
- 16:05Speaker 4: How didn't I tell you?
- 16:06Speaker 2: When the four to twelve came along?
- 16:07Speaker 4: I helped him aboard.
- 16:08Speaker 11: He said he'd best be getting back to London, said
- 16:11Speaker 11: to tell his friend, mister Sherlock Jones not to wait
- 16:13Speaker 11: for him.
- 16:13Speaker 8: Sherlock owns you, then he not Jones, the mister Sherlock ohms,
- 16:18Speaker 8: who's he the greatest detective in the world. That's all
- 16:21Speaker 8: why he can deduce your ohole life history. But I
- 16:23Speaker 8: look at you your pocket handkerchief.
- 16:25Speaker 11: Well then why don't he come and deduce his friend
- 16:27Speaker 11: has gone back to London When he sees me waiting
- 16:29Speaker 11: rooms empty, he's.
- 16:30Speaker 8: Got more important things to do. That's why he's taking
- 16:34Speaker 8: the victim of the day's catastrophe back to London in
- 16:36Speaker 8: a pine box. Seems he was an acquaintance.
- 16:39Speaker 4: Well, and have a bit of a weight. There won't
- 16:40Speaker 4: be another trying until a six ten. I'll go tell him, right, mister,
- 16:48Speaker 4: that's comfortable.
- 16:48Speaker 8: It seems your friend Dr Watson got tired of waiting
- 16:51Speaker 8: and went back to London by the fourteen.
- 16:53Speaker 4: Confounded.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Why do you suppose he did that?
- 16:55Speaker 8: The station master said, he looked a bit wonky, said, word,
- 16:58Speaker 8: you wasn't to wait for him.
- 16:59Speaker 5: That's not like Watson to leave me sitting here alone
- 17:02Speaker 5: with a coffin. By the way, how long do I
- 17:04Speaker 5: have to wait for the next train.
- 17:05Speaker 2: Up to London?
- 17:05Speaker 8: I'm afraid there won't be one along until a sixteen.
- 17:08Speaker 8: That's a bit of a wait. Maybe you'd step down
- 17:11Speaker 8: the road and have a dish of tea with me
- 17:12Speaker 8: and the missus. She'd be that bucked up to be entertaining,
- 17:14Speaker 8: mister sherlock own.
- 17:15Speaker 4: Thank you, Constable, But it's not possible. I'm afraid why not.
- 17:18Speaker 8: You've got a good hour and an.
- 17:19Speaker 5: Half wait, I know, but I can't keep a body.
- 17:21Speaker 5: I don't want anything else to happen to it.
- 17:23Speaker 8: Good Lord, what else could happen to it?
- 17:25Speaker 5: I don't know, Constable, I don't know, but I have
- 17:29Speaker 5: a very definite suspicion that the day's adventure isn't finished.
- 17:48Speaker 5: I must say it's very decent of you to let
- 17:50Speaker 5: me ride up here on the luggage van.
- 17:51Speaker 6: Oh, I'm lady.
- 17:52Speaker 12: The company said, it's lonesome sometimes with nothing but trunks
- 17:56Speaker 12: and crates and cabbages and things were all in a
- 17:58Speaker 12: way through the countryside that mark, with no one to
- 18:01Speaker 12: talk to. Sometimes I'll get the wondering what's in all
- 18:04Speaker 12: those boxes. It's good to have someone around, especially when
- 18:08Speaker 12: there's a coffin a board.
- 18:09Speaker 4: Yes, I'm afraid I'm not very good company tonight.
- 18:11Speaker 6: I understand. So it's not what you might call cheerful.
- 18:15Speaker 6: The company and the remains of a friend.
- 18:19Speaker 12: I say, the old whistle do sound earier tonight, don't he? Yes,
- 18:24Speaker 12: I always says there's nothing so lonely as a train
- 18:26Speaker 12: whistle going along across country after everyone else is.
- 18:30Speaker 2: Safe in bed. Excuse me?
- 18:34Speaker 6: Was it a close friend of yourso, I mean the deceased.
- 18:37Speaker 5: No, I knew him unstlightly, but I well, I felt
- 18:39Speaker 5: responsible for him, don't you know? Confounded, I'm the one
- 18:42Speaker 5: that suggested he come down to up Atuttingham. If he
- 18:44Speaker 5: hadn't come, he'd probably be alive.
- 18:46Speaker 12: And well, no, don't you take on about it's it's fake,
- 18:49Speaker 12: that's what it is.
- 18:50Speaker 2: I wouldn't he chips numbers up? Why it's up?
- 18:52Speaker 12: It's all I was wondering if it's.
- 18:57Speaker 2: It's a bad cold you've got there.
- 18:58Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not a just said.
- 19:01Speaker 12: Whenever they ship those full cabbages up.
- 19:03Speaker 6: From London, they makes me sneeze.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Uh huh.
- 19:05Speaker 4: You're probably allergic to cabbages.
- 19:08Speaker 2: What's it?
- 19:08Speaker 4: A new theory of sensitivity I'm working on, Mark my words.
- 19:11Speaker 5: In a few years from now people would be bragging
- 19:14Speaker 5: that they're allergic to all kinds of things.
- 19:16Speaker 12: Sweet Scott, Aren't there enough plagues in the world now
- 19:18Speaker 12: that you scientific chaps have to go and sink up more?
- 19:21Speaker 6: Why time was with.

- 19:41Speaker 5: I say, God, you smell something over here? I supse
- 19:45Speaker 5: that's asking too much for that cold.
- 19:47Speaker 12: Yes, sir, with me nose in this condition, I couldn't
- 19:50Speaker 12: smell a pig pin if I was standing smke in

- 20:09Speaker 4: together for years.

- 20:13Speaker 5: I have the strangest foreboding as if my friend were
- 20:16Speaker 5: well trying to tell me something.
- 20:17Speaker 6: Nah, that's what happens to her man, just like me
