Sherlock Holmes Radio The Strange Death of Mrs. Abernetty Basil Rathbone, N · Meine Liebe zu Hörspielen

0:00
Speaker 1: Now, doctor Watson, how about the mystery of the withered
0:03
Parsley and the strange death of missus Abnetty.
0:06
Speaker 2: Well with the bell at the time I'm talking about
0:08
this Parsley, just like myself, was a great deal younger.
0:13
But to get on with my story, Holmes had just
0:16
concluded his amazing investigations in the affair of the reading
0:19
bicycle pump murder, and we decided to stay for a
0:22
few days in the nearby beautiful village of Pangbourn. The
0:26
weather was surprisingly generous funding this summer, and on our
0:29
second day, Holmes and I had gone for a stroll
0:32
along the tow path of the River Thames. Holmes was
0:35
in an extremely morose mood that day. I remember as
0:39
we walked back towards our hotel, Ah, that country's beautiful homes.
0:47
Speaker 3: Yes, I suppose it is.
0:48
Speaker 2: Oh, come, come, look at the red and gray roofs
0:51
of the cottages and the farms peeping out through the
0:53
trees over there, so peaceful and soothing.
0:58
Speaker 4: I'm afraid it has a reverse effect on me, Watson,
1:00
that's the curse of having a mind like mine.
1:02
Speaker 3: Well, how do you mean I.
1:04
Speaker 4: Observe everything with reference to my own special subject. You
1:07
look at those scattered houses and are impressed by their
1:10
peace and beauty. I look at them and think how
1:12
easily crime may be committed, though the lord.
1:15
Speaker 2: Who'd associaped crime was as fuck like that.
1:17
Speaker 4: It's my opinion, Watson, based on experience, that the lowest
1:21
and vilest alleys in London do not present a more
1:23
dreadful record of sin than does the smiling countryside a
1:26
morbid pud And the reason is obvious. The pressure of
1:29
public opinion can do in the city what the law
1:31
cannot accomplish. There's no lane so dark that the scream
1:34
of a tortured child or the thud of the drunket's
1:36
blow does not obtain sympathy and help from some neighbor.
1:40
But look at these lonely houses, think of the deeds
1:43
of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on
1:46
here in year out in such places, And no one
1:47
the wiser.
1:48
Speaker 2: Sir, You're in a particular depressing mood. Allall look at
1:52
this fuller running towards us must be crazy, and I
1:54
him galloping along a towpath an hot day.
1:56
Speaker 4: Like this, and from his expression, I think we may
1:58
reasonably assume that he's not doing it.
1:59
Speaker 3: For the exercise.
2:01
Speaker 5: Excuse me, but if is one of you gentlemen, Dr.
2:03
Speaker 2: Watson, Yes, sir, I am, and this is Michella Como.
2:06
Speaker 5: How do you do, sir?
2:08
Speaker 3: How do you do?
2:09
Speaker 5: My name is Gareth Abernetty.
2:10
Speaker 2: I heard that you were staying in the village. I
2:12
went to your hotel.
2:13
Speaker 5: And they told me that you'd gone for a walk
2:16
in this direction.
2:17
Speaker 3: I presume you need the doctor's help.
2:18
Speaker 5: Yes, I do, Dr Watson.
2:21
Speaker 3: I know you're on a.
2:21
Speaker 2: Holiday or naturally I'm at your service, sir. What is wrong? Though?
2:25
Speaker 5: Perhaps we could start walking back to the inn my
2:27
horse and trapper there and.
2:29
Speaker 3: I'll tell you about it as we go.
2:31
Speaker 5: My my mother's just had a bad heart attack. We
2:35
learn at homeby Grange, a few miles out of the village.
2:37
I'd like to drive you out there at once.
2:40
Speaker 2: Surely if you live here you must have a family doctor.
2:43
Speaker 5: Well, he's in London for a few days.
2:46
Speaker 2: I see you man, mister Evan that what were the
2:49
symptoms of your your mother's heart attack?
2:51
Speaker 5: Well, she, she said, she was taking her usual nap
2:54
before lunch. She started to go to sleep and suddenly
2:57
woke up crying that she was she was going to die, said,
3:00
her heart seems to stop beating entirely for a few moments.
3:02
Speaker 2: Has she had these attacks before?
3:05
Speaker 5: I can't tell you much about it. The family says
3:07
that for her age, she's been in very good health.
3:10
Speaker 2: I've been brought for a few years.
3:12
Speaker 4: In China, observed, mister Abnett in.
3:14
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I went out there as a war correspondent
3:17
covering the box of Rebellion.
3:19
Speaker 4: But how did you know the fish that you have
3:22
to toot immediately about your right wrist could only have
3:24
been done in China. That trick of staining the fish's
3:27
scale of delicate pink is quite peculiar for that country.
3:30
Speaker 2: That's amazing, mister Holmes, that's amazing. So that is just
3:33
a certain facility for observation, sir. For instance, from what
3:36
you've told me of your mother's symptoms, I should say
3:39
that her lips of bluish, that she runs out of
3:42
breadford walking upstairs, and the veins in her cheeks are
3:45
unusually pronouns.
3:47
Speaker 5: I begin to think I've met a pair of magicians.
3:49
Speaker 1: Boy, But you're right, doctor.
3:51
Speaker 4: I see I put you on your metal Watson. How
3:53
did you deduce that.
3:54
Speaker 2: Ele metromedic homes the symptoms of mister Abnetty described but
3:58
typical of microL constriction. I shall be delighted to examine
4:02
your mother and do whatever I can for.
4:05
Speaker 5: I'm very grateful doctor.
4:06
Speaker 4: You're in good hands, mister eving at him. Well, Watson,
4:08
I shall see you later, no doubt. This is one
4:11
case in which I'm sure you need no help from me.
4:22
Speaker 6: Well, doctor Watson, I'm not much of a one for doctors.
4:27
Stake out your tongue and give me a guinea. That's
4:30
what most of them say. Well, what's your addict.
4:35
Speaker 2: That there's nothing seriously wrong? Just take these drops I'm
4:40
giving you before each meal and you'll be well in
4:42
no time.
4:42
Speaker 5: Lizzy, Yes, ma'am.
4:44
Speaker 6: Do you hear what the doctor said? Now try and
4:47
stop your wool gathering long enough to see that I
4:50
get those drops.
4:51
Speaker 2: Yes, I want to get you.
4:53
Speaker 6: Forget your own names. The butcher's boy was syringing the bell,
4:56
won't you Yes, I know you can lay the room.
5:00
Speaker 2: Yes, I think you should rest for a while, missus
5:06
evan plenty of time for rest at my age.
5:09
Speaker 6: Doctor. Anyway, I want to talk to you privately, that's
5:14
why I sent Cluzie out.
5:15
Speaker 3: Of the room.
5:17
Speaker 6: I want you to bring your friend Sherlock Holmes here
5:20
to lunch tomorrow.
5:21
Speaker 2: Charlock Holmes, But how did you know that he was
5:24
in the village.
5:26
Speaker 6: There's nothing new in the village or anywhere else going
5:28
on here that I don't know about.
5:30
Speaker 2: Doctor.
5:31
Speaker 6: Now, will you bring him. I've got something very important
5:36
to discuss with him.
5:38
Speaker 2: I don't think of the state.
5:39
Speaker 6: Of your heart that you What was that filthy medicine
5:43
you gave me? It made me sleepy?
5:46
Speaker 2: Well that was its purpose, Madam.
5:49
Speaker 6: My family think I'm going to die waiting for it, hoping.
5:56
Speaker 3: Sorry, You're not going to die.
5:59
Speaker 2: Man.
6:00
Speaker 6: We'll fool them, doctor Tree, real, fool them.
6:07
Speaker 2: No, no, now is having I'll go to the door.
6:11
Speaker 6: Oh doctor, I came to see how Grannie was getting along.
6:15
Speaker 5: I'm no devil.
6:15
Speaker 2: I'm doctor Watson.
6:16
Speaker 3: How do you do my dear?
6:18
Speaker 2: Is it doctor?
6:19
Speaker 1: It's me Grannie.
6:20
Speaker 2: I came to see how you are.
6:22
Speaker 6: Take the doctor downstairs rose, give him some tea, and
6:26
introduce him to the rest of the family. He's got
6:30
many news for them.
6:32
Speaker 2: I'm going to live, uncle Guts.
6:45
Speaker 5: Were you going to do?
6:46
Speaker 7: Dr Watson?
6:47
Speaker 5: Please, of course, my dear Rose, and I appreciate your
6:50
motive in giving me the privilege. A shy, retiring girl
6:55
like yourself would hardly dare make such a descriptive introduction
6:59
as I will.
7:00
Speaker 2: Uncle Gatty's you've been drinking again?
7:02
Speaker 5: Well, since I was the only member of this heartless,
7:04
abonety clan that had the initiative to go and get
7:07
a doctor, I think I was entitled to a brandy
7:10
or two. Oh, come on, Watson, come and meet my
7:13
noble brothers. And here in the library waiting like hopeful
7:17
vultures for bad news about our dear mother's health.
7:22
Speaker 2: So I think perhaps some other no no, no, no, no, no,
7:24
might we'll get it over with?
7:26
Speaker 6: And sorry, doctor Watson, I didn't know I could have
7:28
been drinking.
7:28
Speaker 2: That's quite all right, Dr Watson.
7:32
Speaker 5: Let me introduce my brother Ernest.
7:35
Speaker 2: How do you do? How are you? Doctor Watson.
7:37
Speaker 5: Since the success of Oscar Will's recent comedy of Manners,
7:40
Ernest has been unbearable, I think he took its title
7:43
to literally person.
7:44
Speaker 2: You're referring to the importance of being you.
7:47
Speaker 7: Say, doctor, My brother is a brilliant wit, and Brandy
7:50
sharpens his perceptions.
7:51
Speaker 4: Even more, he's been known to launch a whole.
7:53
Speaker 7: String of leaden epigrams in the course of one evening.
7:56
Speaker 5: Yes, and he's been known to do an honest day's
7:58
work in his life, which is more than you can say,
8:00
my dear there As I'm sure.
8:01
Speaker 3: Mister Watson has no desire to listen to our.
8:03
Speaker 4: Dreary wranglings, why not introduce him to John.
8:06
Speaker 3: I'm going to Watson.
8:09
Speaker 5: This is my other brother, John Abernett.
8:11
Speaker 2: How do you do to them?
8:12
Speaker 3: How do you do? Doctorm John is.
8:14
Speaker 5: The respectable member of the family. He manages the states
8:17
here and at least has the unique distinction of having worked.
8:21
Speaker 3: For the money he gets from mother. I shouldn't talk
8:23
like this.
8:23
Speaker 7: In front of a stranger, Gareth, that form you no, Yes.
8:26
Speaker 3: Uncle Gareth.
8:27
Speaker 2: Dr Watson's coming here to tell us about Granny.
8:30
Speaker 5: And then let's hear the verdict. It means much more
8:32
to worse than you could possibly imagine. I can assure
8:34
you well.
8:35
Speaker 2: I examined missus Abnett if very followly considering her age,
8:38
I'm glad to say that her condition is quite good.
8:41
I've prescribed you to tell us for her, and she
8:43
should pull through very nicely. In fact, I see no
8:47
reason why she shouldn't live to be one hundred.
8:49
Speaker 6: Oh wencle Ernest, this was one of my nicest wine glasses.
8:53
Speaker 5: Look at this, Watson, You give us the best possible news,
8:56
and look at our faces.
8:57
Speaker 1: Don't you realize that this whole.
8:59
Speaker 5: Family is waiting for one thing, my mother's death.
9:11
Speaker 2: I tell you, Holmes, it was perfect nauseating.
9:14
Speaker 4: I must say, this sound like a peculiarly unattractive family.
9:17
Speaker 2: Well except the granddaughter Rose. She's a sweet little thing.
9:19
But the others are a bunch of good from nothing, undoubtedly.
9:22
Speaker 4: And yet my reaction to what you've told me is
9:24
one of intense curiosity. As I remarked earlier today, the
9:28
quiet countryside, beneath its external beauty cloaks some of the
9:31
violest happening.
9:32
Speaker 2: Well, I admit the atmosphere in that household is viral,
9:35
all right.
9:35
Speaker 4: And think the potential tragedy is smoldering. There a welcome
9:38
atriarch who controls the purse streams for relations, living there
9:42
and praying for one thing, her death. No, Watson, with
9:45
Sancha setting, my curiosity is overpowered, and you will call
9:48
on her if you think she's in good enough condition
9:50
to see me. Tents may have already been made.
9:53
Speaker 2: On her life. Normally I suggest responing it for a
9:55
day or two. But if you think that she's in.
9:57
Speaker 4: Danger, Watson, tomorrow we shall upon my lady and see
10:01
what can be done to help her. Yes, missus evanitting
10:15
before we going.
10:15
Speaker 6: To lunch, I should like to tell you why I
10:17
asked you to come here today, and I want my
10:20
family to know too, Karn. I want your attention, mother,
10:26
Not another lecture, Sureley, no, Ernest, not a lecture, really
10:30
a statement effect. I have asked mister Sherlock holmbs here
10:34
today because he's a detective.
10:36
Speaker 5: Her detective. What's the matter?
10:38
Speaker 2: Mother?
10:39
Speaker 5: Has someone pinched the family silver?
10:42
Speaker 2: Be quiet another, Please don't expect yourself, madam, remember that heart?
10:45
Are you?
10:45
Speaker 6: Yes? Grannie, do be careful passing over me?
10:48
Speaker 5: Rose and sit down?
10:50
Speaker 6: And Garrett, you mentioned the family silver. How did you
10:55
know that's what I was going to speak about, Oh mother,
10:57
I was only joking, well strange joke, Miss Holmes. I
11:04
discovered a few days ago that the amenity silver has
11:07
been stolen peace by peace and replaced by imitations.
11:11
Speaker 4: How do you know, missus Ebat, I recently.
11:13
Speaker 6: Had occasion to have some of our silver knives repaired.
11:16
The blades were loosened the handles. The London jeweler to
11:20
whom I sent them reported that they were not the
11:22
family silver, but slated imitations. I had him come down
11:27
here and examine the rest of the six.
11:29
Speaker 5: They're frauds.
11:31
Speaker 6: I want you to find out who's responsible. I know
11:34
it's one of these four children.
11:36
Speaker 7: That's ridiculous.
11:37
Speaker 1: Mother. Why suggest that one of us is responsible?
11:40
Speaker 6: Because I know your children too.
11:41
Speaker 5: Well personally, I think it's what you deserve. Mother. Yeah,
11:45
I'm not dependent on you, mother, but the others are.
11:47
You've kept them dangling too long. Look at you, Rose,
11:50
You're still young. Are you going to stay here another
11:53
twenty years waiting for your grandmother to die? No?
11:57
Speaker 2: No, please, missus Evannett, none dead man. Go out of
12:05
the room, everybody please, Now, don't worry missus Ebny. You're
12:10
going to be quite all right.
12:11
Speaker 8: Oh are you feeling better, missus Ebanetting?
12:23
Speaker 2: Yes. Mister Holmees hand did you tell us so pulled
12:26
you around, didn't it. You must remember not to take
12:28
another dose until this evening. In the meanwhile, I think
12:31
you'd better go and lie down.
12:32
Speaker 6: No, doctor, I want to go into lunch and afterwards.
12:36
I have something else to tell you, mister Holmes, something
12:39
I don't intend the family to hear. And it's much
12:42
more significant than stealing silver.
12:45
Speaker 4: Missus Abnett, I think if you were to tell me
12:47
your real problem now, simply and directly, a great deal
12:51
of time and patience might be saved.
12:52
Speaker 6: After lunch, mister Holmes, doctor, give me your arms.
13:07
Speaker 2: Excellent lunch, I must say, And.
13:09
Speaker 5: The conversation has had all the sparkle and dirty.
13:12
Speaker 2: Of a funeral oration.
13:14
Speaker 7: Well, since you've entirely monopolized the conversation, gas, that's not
13:17
very surprising.
13:19
Speaker 3: You too got guests that.
13:21
Speaker 6: All you know, and Miss Holmes did you cares a lot?
13:26
Speaker 5: Stuffy?
13:26
Speaker 3: Thank you, missus Evanitty, I'd like another cup?
13:30
Speaker 5: Really, what's wrong? Your hands shaking?
13:32
Speaker 9: So, Doctor, she's dead, then I must assume a different
13:46
mission than the one I came here to perform.
13:48
Speaker 4: I suggest that you all leave this room and that
13:51
one of you sends a certain for the police. Murder
13:53
has just been committed before our arms.
13:55
Speaker 2: A little at home.
13:55
Speaker 3: She died of a heart attack.
13:57
Speaker 4: When death is so intensely desired by four persons present, No, Watson,
14:01
I'm afraid I can't assume a verdict of natural dip
14:04
in proof. I suggest to notice the dip to which
14:06
that parsley has sunk in the butter. I repeat turned
14:09
up for the police.
14:19
Speaker 1: Before we find out what the police discover.
14:22
Speaker 3: Men.
14:23
Speaker 1: Once you get baled, there's nothing you can do about it.
14:26
But it's never too early to make the most of
14:28
the hair you've got.
14:30
Speaker 3: That's why I urge you to try.
14:32
Speaker 1: Kreml hair tonic. Cremmel contains very special hair grooming ingredients
14:36
which have never been duplicated in any other hair tonic.
14:40
Cremmell keeps the hair in place longer, always looking so
14:43
neat and well groomed, never greasy or sticky.
14:47
Speaker 2: But this highly.
14:47
Speaker 1: Specialized hair tonic does lots more than just keep the
14:51
hair looking handsome. A quick massage with Kremmel helps stimulate
14:54
circulation right in the surface of the scalp, leaving your
14:57
scalp feeling so alive vigorated. At the same time, Cremwell
15:02
removes loose danders and has a fine lubricating effect on
15:05
a dry scalp. And if your hair is dry and
15:08
breaks and falls, Cremwell actually helps condition the hair in
15:13
that it leaves it feeling so.
15:14
Speaker 3: Much softer, more pliable.
15:16
Speaker 1: Man, I'm sure you'll enjoy the way Kremill always feels
15:20
so clean on your scalp, looks so clean on your hair,
15:23
and has that your clean odor. How it helped give
15:26
you such a handsome, clean cut appearance. Buy a bottle
15:29
at any drug counter k R. E. M L. Kremmell
15:35
Hair Tonic. Well, doctor Watson, I begin to see what
15:42
you mean about that withered sprig of parsley, but I
15:45
still don't understand what it had to do with the
15:47
death of the old lady.
15:48
Speaker 2: Oh moder dim mister bell as the time, but Shallock
15:50
Holmes soon explained it to me. As soon as a
15:53
family left the dining room and the police had been sent.
15:55
Paul Holmes and I stood together in that room of death,
16:00
damming the dining room table.
16:02
Speaker 4: Yes, Watson, I'm certain that she was poisoned before her.
16:05
Speaker 3: Eye hous you will admit that in.
16:07
Speaker 4: Her condition of double dose of digitalis would have been fatal.
16:09
Speaker 2: Possibly, yes, But she didn't have an overdose. I gave
16:12
her some before we came into lunch and told her
16:14
not to take her usual dose at the table, and she.
16:17
Speaker 4: Didn't take it, not consciously, Watson, But I'm convinced that
16:20
she received another dose in her food.
16:21
Speaker 2: How she didn't eat the roast lamb the rest of
16:24
us head. She simply had two lightly boiled eggs. He
16:26
cracked them out in herself. They couldn't have been poisoned.
16:29
Speaker 4: But she put butter in her eggs, large quantities of butter.
16:32
Speaker 2: You all had butter from the same dish.
16:34
Speaker 4: Home too, But once again I asked you to observe
16:36
the significant fact the depth to which the parsley has
16:39
sunk in the butter.
16:40
Speaker 2: The past hasn't sunk for seft to play.
16:42
Speaker 4: All that, my dear Watson, is the significant Thank.
16:46
Speaker 8: Oh, beg your pardon, sir that you said as are
16:48
you not something that's wrong with the lunch?
16:50
Speaker 2: I'm the cook. Something was very wrong with the lunch,
16:53
my good woman.
16:54
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry, and I hear as a mister Sabinette
16:57
has been took with another of her spells. Yes, she
17:00
has tell me was this table date for lunch at
17:03
one o'clock?
17:04
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, it was, But you didn't come into laugh.
17:07
Speaker 4: An hour later, while missus Abnett has attacked the ladus
17:09
in the drawing room. Did anyone come through the kitchen
17:12
into this room?
17:13
Speaker 2: No, sir, did you?
17:14
Speaker 7: And he would have seen him if they had.
17:16
Speaker 4: And when you set the table, you placed this butter here, yes, sir,
17:20
as you see it's.
17:21
Speaker 3: Garnished with parsley. Did you do that?
17:24
Speaker 2: Sir? I didn't.
17:26
Speaker 7: That's funny.
17:27
Speaker 3: Who could have put that hole?
17:29
Speaker 2: Go home? You?
17:30
Speaker 4: You're right, But the roast of lamb was garnished with parsley,
17:33
wasn't it? Yes, sir, it was splendid. I'm much obliged
17:36
to you.
17:37
Speaker 3: I ope the mistress signs better.
17:39
Speaker 4: Soon, Sir Watson, I'm going to take that butter to
17:42
the village Keni shop and have it analyzed. While I'm
17:45
doing that, I want you to conduct an experiment of
17:47
your own.
17:47
Speaker 2: What do you want me to do?
17:48
Speaker 4: Obtain the fresh quantity of butter from the kitchen, place
17:51
a sprig of parsley on top of it, and see
17:53
how far in half an hour it sinks?
17:55
Speaker 2: In where spending my time? Mussa?
17:57
Speaker 4: Nevertheless, Watson, I think the experiment may give us the
18:00
vital clue to the murder.
18:11
Speaker 2: Homes. And what did you find out at the chemist?
18:13
Speaker 4: It was that I suspected, Watson. The butter was thoroughly
18:16
impregnated with digitalis, and yet we all ate some of it. True,
18:20
it would not produce any effect on a normally healthy person.
18:23
In the case of missus Abnetty, however, two doses in
18:26
quick succession were fatal gris. God, what was the result
18:29
of your experimental chapel.
18:31
Speaker 2: And half an hour a blazing hot day like this
18:33
passed those things quite noticeably into the butter.
18:35
Speaker 4: Therefore, it was placed there shortly before we came in
18:38
late to lunch, not when the.
18:39
Speaker 3: Table was set.
18:40
Speaker 2: But what was the motive?
18:42
Speaker 3: The butter had been shaped by mold. It was patterned
18:44
on the top.
18:45
Speaker 4: The murderer used a hypodermic needle to inject the digitalis,
18:48
and he had to hide the holes made by the needle,
18:51
So he took the parsley from the roast and placed
18:53
it on a button.
18:54
Speaker 2: Oh, who have the opportunity?
18:55
Speaker 4: That's what we have to find out. Have the police arrived, Yes,
18:58
there's the sergeant.
18:59
Speaker 2: Jenkins in charge. He's out there in the kitchen questioning
19:01
these servants.
19:02
Speaker 4: Then let's join forces. A murders in this house, Watson.
19:05
Between us, we've got to catch him.
19:16
Speaker 7: Mister Ownes, I questioned everybody. The cook, Martha says, nobody
19:20
came into the kitchen when lunch was waiting on the table, and.
19:23
Speaker 4: Yet we know somebody did, so perhaps they came through
19:25
the window.
19:26
Speaker 3: I checked that two third.
19:28
Speaker 7: The gardener was working in the road of Yndrome there
19:30
at her side. He said no one went in that way, and.
19:33
Speaker 4: The only other entrance to the dining room was the
19:35
door meeting into the library.
19:36
Speaker 7: Or I checked on that one too, mister Rones, Mister
19:39
John Epanett and his brother Ernest were playing a game
19:42
of chess there. They swore that no one went through
19:45
that door.
19:46
Speaker 4: Only noticed if no one couldn't tamp it with the butter,
19:48
whereas we know they did. Sergeant Jenkins, you've been very
19:52
thorrying in your examinations, but one of these witnesses is lying.
19:56
Speaker 3: We must talk to them again. Martha. When you said no.
20:05
Speaker 4: One came through your kitchen and went into the dining room,
20:08
you meant no member of the family didn't join.
20:11
Speaker 7: That's right, sir.
20:12
Speaker 3: If it had been.
20:12
Speaker 4: One of the other domestics, Lizzie, for example, you wouldn't
20:16
have noticed it.
20:17
Speaker 3: No you mentioned, sir, Lizzie did go in just before.
20:21
Speaker 4: They came into LUNDIZZI did, but quite Watson, Sergeant, please
20:25
ask mister Ernest Daphnet to step in here for a moment.
20:30
Speaker 2: Yes, mister Holmes, Lizzy did go through the library door.
20:33
Speaker 3: But I can't see that factors.
20:34
Speaker 2: Of much important.
20:35
Speaker 3: Possibly you can't.
20:37
Speaker 4: And yet I assure you my question was not my
20:39
the one was Lizzie carrying anything?
20:41
Speaker 3: Do you recall I really didn't notice.
20:43
Speaker 4: I'm afraid I find the problems of chairs, even with
20:46
brother John as an opponent, more interesting than the perambulations
20:49
of the worthy Lizzie. Lizzie, Sir, you did go into
20:55
the room just before lunch?
20:57
Speaker 2: What are nything?
20:58
Speaker 8: I forgot to put the case?
21:00
Speaker 3: That so would be room temperature.
21:02
Speaker 2: Mister Ernest is most particular about that.
21:04
Speaker 3: Thank you, Lizzie. You may go, Thank you, sir.
21:11
Speaker 2: Oh do you think she did it?
21:13
Speaker 4: Surely there's no doubt it be in your mind?
21:14
Speaker 3: Now? Is there? Well?
21:15
Speaker 7: There is in mine, mister Owho's in now?
21:17
Speaker 2: Mistake?
21:17
Speaker 3: And yet the case is solved. Sergeant.
21:20
Speaker 4: Let's go into the drawing room and I'll introduce you
21:22
to our murderer. And so, ladies and gentlemen, you can
21:33
all see now how the murder was committed.
21:36
Speaker 3: But by Lizzie. But that doesn't seem possible.
21:39
Speaker 7: Mister Holmes, what motive would she have?
21:41
Speaker 2: Oh?
21:41
Speaker 3: I could understand her motive.
21:42
Speaker 4: Mother's been an absolute tyrant with her.
21:44
Speaker 5: I find it hard to believe that with her adultated mentality,
21:48
she'd have the imagination to think of such a plot.
21:50
Speaker 4: Oh No, Gareth, the man responsible for this murder is you?
21:54
Speaker 3: Is ridiculous. I did not say the murderer, I said.
21:57
The man responses, is what on earth you're driving out? Gareth,
22:00
by his example.
22:01
Speaker 4: In finding a job and going abroad, caused one of
22:03
his other relatives to become disgusted with the life of
22:06
a parasite. That person decided to go beyond such petty
22:09
devices as stealing silver and.
22:11
Speaker 3: To turn to murder.
22:12
Speaker 7: An abnetty commit murder, I say, really a remarkably origiant observation.
22:17
Speaker 3: Which surely that's obvious.
22:20
Speaker 4: Two witnesses, the cook and Ernest, at first swore no
22:24
one had entered the dining room. Then, when I asked
22:26
a question based on one of the elementary flaws of
22:29
direct evidence, each admitted that Lizzie had entered Lizzie self
22:32
admitted it, mister, very true. She told us in detail
22:36
how she had entered the dining room once, but the
22:39
witnesses had her entering twice. The cook saw her come
22:42
through the kitchen door, and you, ernest admitted.
22:44
Speaker 3: That she had passed you through the library door.
22:47
Speaker 4: Someone else had realized that same flaw of evidence, that
22:50
no employer rarely notices the actions of a servant. Someone
22:53
else had entered that room in the maid's uniform. And
22:56
who is the only suspect.
22:57
Speaker 3: He could have done that? Your rove habnet Recio Road.
23:01
Speaker 6: Yes, thank kill Granny.
23:02
Speaker 1: When doctor Watson said that grandmother might live another twenty years,
23:05
I thought that I'd never get.
23:06
Speaker 3: Away from here.
23:07
Speaker 7: Well you're getting away from me, an armis. I'm taking
23:09
you over to the station.
23:10
Speaker 5: I don't care my Beto's maids, and I warn.
23:13
Speaker 7: You that anything you say maybe used in evidence again.
23:25
Speaker 2: Rocker's shocking case. I'm glad we're headed back to our tone.
23:28
Never have to see that abnetted family again.
23:31
Speaker 4: We'll have to make a brief appearance at the trial
23:32
of the girl.
23:33
Speaker 2: I'm afraid I still find it hard to believe that quiet,
23:35
shy little thing was capable of conceiving such.
23:37
Speaker 4: A devilish murder, solitude, unhappiness, and the companionship of an
23:43
evil male adjusted family and the tyrannical.
23:45
Speaker 3: Grandmother read dark Fancis Watson.
23:47
Speaker 2: He dressed up in the maid's uniform, convinced that no
23:50
one would give her a second glance, and then, having
23:53
poisoned the butter, returned, changed her dress and sat down
23:57
at the luncheon table.
23:57
Speaker 4: Precisely for Watson, this has been an unsavory case, but
24:01
it points a model, a moral that I hope you
24:04
as myself appointed biographer with prophet.
24:06
Speaker 2: And what moral is it?
24:08
Speaker 4: The extreme importance of observing details. Miss Abernetti would not
24:12
now be on her way to a prison cell if
24:14
I had noticed one vital cluel the depth to which
24:17
Speaker 3: The parsley had sunk in the butter,
