  Speaker 1: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: The makers of Bromo quinine cold tablets bring you another
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: adventure of Sherlock Holmes with Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and Nigel Bruce as Dr.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Watson.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Watch out for colds, ladies and gentlemen. They're very prevalent now,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and a little cold may be the start of a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: serious illness. What you want to do with the first
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: sign of a cold is take famous bromoquinine tablets. Bromoquinine
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: tablets are made for one purpose and one purpose only,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and that is the relief of colds. They act fast,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: give you speedy results, and that's what you want when
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you have a cold. Bromoquinine tablets are known the world over.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: For their efficacy.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Trust your reputation when buying a medicine. Do this when
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you feel a cold coming on, and you'll ask for
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: bromoquinone cold tablets.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: And now, as we make our way through the night
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: to Dr.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Watson's hospitable door, we notice a feeling of spring in
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the air. The buds are swollen on the trees, still
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: black and dripping from the rain.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: There's a smell of warm, damp earth.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Delicious. Hey, Mr.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Manning.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Well, hello, Dr.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Watson.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't see you in the dark.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, I've been out checking up to see if my
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: magnolias survived the winter.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Any casualties?
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: No, they all seem to be fairly bursting with bugs.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: There's nothing as delicious as that first faint whiff of spring.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Or as treacherous. Come along to the house before we
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: both catch our death of cold.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: After you, sir. Not at all, my boy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: None of that age before beauty nonsense. I'm not as
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: decrepit as all heads.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Oh, what's this? The front hall littered with trunks of suitcase?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes. I'm afraid my annual wanderlust has broken out
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: rather early this spring. I'm off on a little jaunt
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: first thing tomorrow morning, but come along into the study.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Does that mean that this is the last of our
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: storytelling evening?
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, for this winter, yes, I'm afraid it does. Well, I.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I trust I'm not too forward if I hope to
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: be invited back again in the fall.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Of course not. You know we'll be waiting for your return.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, thanks very much.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Very decent of you.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: To put up with the hand rings of an old
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: fellow like yourself.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I appreciate it, you know.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But sit down, Mr.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Manning. Sit down there over there in the usual chair.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Let's get on with our story before I get all
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: glittery and sentimental.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: You're going to tell us about Professor Moriarty tonight, aren't you?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I had intended to, but I've changed my mind.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I'm going to tell you the adventure of a.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Retired colorman instead.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Retired colorman? Isn't that a military term?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: No, it isn't.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Josiah P.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Amberley has been the junior member of Brickfall and Amberley,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: manufacturers of artistic paint boxes.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: He made quite a tiny little fortune.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Retired from business at the age of 61, bought a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: house at Lewisham and.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Then settled down. The very next year, 1897, I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: it was.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: The old fool married.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Married? Yes, married. The woman's 30 years his junior.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Always a bit risky. Risky. Risky.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Within two years, he was as.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Miserable a creature as crawls beneath the sun. Dear me,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I'm jumping ahead in the story again. As I was saying,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it was the 23rd of April, 1899, and a rainy
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: and disagreeable April it had been. Holmes was in a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: melancholy and philosophic mood that morning as he stood by
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: the window, watching the raindrops chasing one another down, down
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the pane.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Rain, it always depressed him when he was not working
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: on a case.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: When he was working on a case, I don't believe
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: he realized.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: That there was such a thing as weather.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Look at that beastly rain. Hasn't stopped for three days.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Might as well be another flood. Heaven only knows what
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: transgressions could have brought it on. That's been a really
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: first-class crime for months.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: Cheer up, Holmes, cheer up.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: It's probably good for the crops or something. A shortage
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in crime?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. The rain, of course.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Probably makes the little buds sprout and the little shoots.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, don't be so blasted optimistic.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: More likely rotting all the seed that's already been planted. Rain,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: where the deuce does it all come from? This confounded
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: English climate... Why, any man with half a brain stays
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: on this rain-soaked, mist-bound island is beyond me.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Why, that of the men have anything to do with it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: It's the ladies, God bless them. This climate gives them
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: perfect complexions.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And with so many lovely creatures about, what Englishman would
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: think of quitting the country?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So much beauty, such exquisiteness. Oh, rubbish, Watson, rubbish. This
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: spring has given you a temporary softening of the brain.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I regret to say it seems to have that effect
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on most impressionable males.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Impressionable nonsense. When a woman's concerned in one of your.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Cases, you've never even noticed whether she's 16 or 60.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And then you don't care whether she's got a well-turned
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: ankle or whether she's flat-footed.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Why should I?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Holmes, there are times when I think you're a cold-blooded fish.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Possibly, Watson, possibly. Why do you suppose the fool doesn't
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: show up?
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: What fool?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Josiah P. Amberley. Is he one of your clowns? I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: suppose I may call him so. He's been sent to
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: me by Scotland Yard. Oh, by Scotland Yard. Quite. By
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: this cloud, to be exact. I must consider the case
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: fairly hopeless if Lestrade hands the matter over to me
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: of his own accord.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Look, Holmes, there's a cab drawing up in front of
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: our front door.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: He must be your client, Mr.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Ambler.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Strange-looking individual, eh, Watson?
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Quite an old fellow. Looks literally bowed down with care.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Ah, but no weakling. Look at those shoulders and that chest.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: The framework of a giant. He's arguing with the cab
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: driver about the fare.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Huh-huh. Watches the pennies, eh?
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: I must say, I don't like his face.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So fierce and eager, and the way those snaky locks
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of grizzled hair stick out from under his hat.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I wonder what he's worrying. What's worrying, Mr. Ambley? Worrying
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to bet it has something to do with money. I
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: imagine nothing else could upset him to any great extent.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Nonsense, Holmes. You always look on the base side of
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: human nature.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Here he is now. Come in. Come in. Which of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you is Sherlock Holmes?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: This is my friend, Dr. Watson.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm a broken man. He's robbed me, the swine.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: Taken everything I had in the world. I thought he
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: was my friend and he took everything. Right from under
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: my nose. In my own house.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Robbed me, he did. Yes, I felt sure it was
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: a question of money. Money? Who said money? He stole
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: my wife.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: The light of my life.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: The apple of my eye.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: It's true she was very expensive. But after all, she was.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: My wife, and he stole her. Now, Mr. Ambley, if
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you would.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: My beautiful blonde wife, hair like gold, and my securities.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: The money I saved up with years of hard work.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Gone.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: All gone. Yes, thank you. First, tell us about your wife.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: How long have you been married? Two years.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: Two years, and she's tired of me already.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Two little years. Easy, my good man, easy. More facts
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and fewer recriminations if we're to get to the bottom
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of this case.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Three years ago, I retired. Bought a house.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Big house at Lewisham. Cost me plenty of money, that
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: house did. Well, sir, I'd never lived alone in a
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: big house before.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Got sort of lonely.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: House began to need looking.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: After, so I thought I'd start looking around for a wife. Nice, healthy,
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: young wife to look after me. Then I met Ella.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Handsome girl she was, too. A good cook. Hair like gold.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Could bake a beef and kidney pie that went melt
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: in your mouth. So I thought I might as well
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: get married.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Very practical, I'm sure.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: That's what I figured at that time.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: But Lord, Mr.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Holmes, the money a woman runs into. There made my
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: heart bleed the way the money went.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I should have thought you'd have been glad when the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: other fellow took it off your hands. But who was this.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: This wolf in sheep's clothing?
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: His name was Dr.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Ray Ernest.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: A young fellow. Used to come over at night and
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: play chess with me.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I see. He stole your wife? And my securities. Yes,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: but truly the securities are registered. You can hardly hope
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to convert them. Maybe not.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: But I must have them back. And you've got to
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: find those securities for me, Mr.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Holmes.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: You've got to find them.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And your wife, of course? Of course, of course.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Wherever she is, they are.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Ah, quite. On the other hand, Mr. Amberley, I confess
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I don't see that I can be of much service.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: It's a routine matter, and I'm sure that Cocton Yard
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: would be only too glad.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, very well, very well, very well, very well.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: We'll do our best. Dr. Watson will take a run
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: down to your house at Lewisham to look over the grounds. Oh, really?
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, delicious.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: I hardly expected you'd come yourself. After my heavy financial loss...
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Nobody cares if an old man's heart is broken.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, stop that blubbering.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not coming myself because I'm preoccupied with the case
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of the two Coptic patriarchs. This particular case doesn't seem
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to be very complicated. I'm sure, Mr. Amberley, that Dr.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Watson can handle it as well as I could myself.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Well, if that's the best that you can offer, I.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Suppose I must be satisfied. Pampered, that's what she was.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: And that young man, that dirty pickpocket, I treated him
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: like my own son, the run of the house. And
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: now look how they've treated me.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Me, you'll never harm me.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Quite, quite. And now, good day, Mr. Amberley.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, well, good day, Mr.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Holmes.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: I shall expect Dr.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Watson this afternoon. You have my address, I believe.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, the ungratitude, the rank ingratitude of it all.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I must say, Holmes, I like the way you've shoved
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: all this off onto my shoulders. Coptic patriarchs, indeed. You
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: just don't want to go.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Right, Watson, right, the very first time. You've been begging
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: for a case all to yourself for months. Well, here
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, and a nice case you've given me, I must say.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: That old skinful.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, my daughter, oh, my ducats, eh? With the emphasis
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: on the ducats, if I'm not mistaken. Oh, confound that passage. There. Ah,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: that's better.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: That's dash good.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Someone steps on the stairs. Watson, if I'm not mistaken,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and in a triumphant mood. Hello, Holmes.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm back.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Hail the conquering hero. A successful afternoon, I take it,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: with a light of victory in your eye.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I did manage.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: To dig up a clue or so.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Now about Mr. Amberley's place of residence. What's it like?
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Well, he calls it the haven.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Oh, charming.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, isn't it?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I think the place would interest you, Holmes.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: You know that particular quarter, the monotonous brick streets, the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: weary suburban highways.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Well, right in the middle of them lies this beautiful.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Old home, surrounded by a high sun-baked wall, bottled with
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: lichens and topped with moss, the sort of wall.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You may omit the poetry, Watson. I note that it
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was a high brick wall. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: I should have guessed it was the Haven, even if
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: I hadn't asked a lounger who was smoking outside on
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: the street.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: A lounger?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, a tall, dark, little moustached man with a curious
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: look in his eye.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: With great tinted glasses and a masonic type in? Good,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: hadn't you?
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: How do you know?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, the fool. A child of ten could have seen
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: through that.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Well, Mr.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Holmes, I don't see. Never mind. Continue with your story, Watson.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Well, I'd hardly entered the gateway before I saw Mr.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Amberley coming down the drive to meet me. He began
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: at once, pouring out his grievances.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: We walked back to the house together. And, uh... Well, once.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Inside the wall, I must say, I've never seen a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: place worth kept. Garden running to weeds and in a
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: dreadful neglect. The house, too, was flattened to the last degree.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It just goes to show what happens to a place
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: when there's.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: No womanly hand about to keep it in order. Yes, but, uh, Mrs.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Amberley's only been missing a few days. Hardly time for
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: so much disintegration to take place. Must have set in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: before she left.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Possibly.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: At any rate, Mr. Ambler seemed to be ashamed of it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He was doing his best to remedy.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: It, though I must admit that his.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Efforts looked a trifle ineffectual. What's to become of me?
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: What's to become of me? My wife gone, most of
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: my fortune stolen. Oh, come in, Dr.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Watson, come in.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Here, you see what remains of what used to be
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: called my home.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: An Eastman's home, it is.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Castle, so they say.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: But home is where the heart is.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: My heart? Look out, Dr. Watson, look out.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That woodwork's just been.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, look at that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Look at that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: My best pair of trousers.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Too bad. Careful, careful.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: You almost get into that pot of paint.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: That's it all, Emory. This is absolutely the limit.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I shouldn't have left that pot of paint in
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: the middle of the passage, I suppose. When one's alone
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: in the house, one forgets.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: You're alone.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: So you've been doing this painting yourself?
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: It must strike you as a strange occupation under the circumstances.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: One must do something to ease an aching heart.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Step in here, Dr.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Watson.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: This is my study, my sanctum sanctorum.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, sanctum sanctorum.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I see you've just finished painting woodwork in this room, too.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I smell paint.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's not dry yet. That's why I have a
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: fire in here. Now let me see.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Where did you keep your security?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: In the safe in that wall.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: This room is really a strong room.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Like a bank.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: With a man shut around the window and a man door.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Very good proof.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Ah, that's the irony of it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: No thief from.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: Without could have taken my money. But my wife.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: My own wife. There's a picture, Dr.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Watson, on the mantel. Taken in a wedding dress.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice looking girl, Emily. Doesn't look the sort that would.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: I'm a viper being great.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, really?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: The very night, that very night, I bought two upper-circle
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: seats at the Haymarket Theater. Wanted to give her a treat,
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: I did.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Didn't she go?
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: No. Last moment she said she felt sick. That she
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: had a headache, she did. I believe that went alone.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: When I came back, she was gone. The safe was
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: right in front.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Just a minute.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: What night was that, Mr.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Emmerich?
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Last Thursday.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, Thursday, was it?
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, an unused ticket.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Money wasted. She was always wasting money.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: May I have that ticket, Mr.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Emmerich? Hold on, hold on.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: You would have thrown it in the fire.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Why? I wanted to get rid of it. I wanted
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: to get rid of everything that reminds me of her. Here,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: give me that picture.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Well, I see.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Well, into the fire she goes closer.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: May her soul burn in torment as that picture's burning now.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: That person fell away, Watson. This case begins to look
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: more somber than I suspected. If you could only have
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: brought me that ticket, Watson.
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, I did my best, Holmes.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I may not have the ticket itself, but I did
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: notice the number of the seat.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, bravo, Watson. How did you happen to remember it?
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Well, as a matter of fact, it was my place.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: And form at school, 31.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: See, from the bottom.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: And so it stuck in my head.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Splendid, old fellow. Then Amberley's seat must have been 30
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: or 32. Hear me, hear me now. Who can that be?
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Well, whoever it is, he has to be patient.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes. Here he comes up the stairs, fairly running.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Come in. Come in. Well, bless my soul if it
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: isn't our old friend, our good friend, Mr. Amberley. What's up?
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I tell you, Mr.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Holmes, I can't make anything of it. Here, see for yourself.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Come at once without fail.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I can give you information as to your recent lost find, Elman. Yes, Elman.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Dispatched at 210 from Little Purlington. Little Purlington in Essex,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I believe, not far from Flinton. You will start at once,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: of course. Watson, look up the train.
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: It's probably a hoax.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: What could anyone do to Purlington? But I'm a very
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: responsible person. Where's my crockpot? Yes, here it is. Uh,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: we'll look up this minister of the gospel. E-E-E-E Elman. Elman,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: here it is. Here, J.C. Elman, M.A., living of Mossmore,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: come little Purlington. Yes, but I still don't think... Surely, Mr. Amberley,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you want to find your wife and your lost securities,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: don't you?
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: Of course, of course, but think of the waste of
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: time and money.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Here we are, here.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: We are, here we are.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Here's a train from Liverpool Street at 5.20.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, you just have time.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Amberley, you go downstairs and hail a cab. I'll help Dr.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Watson throw a few things in the bag. You think
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: I need Dr. Watson?
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Perhaps I'd better go alone.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, no, no, no. It may be a trap
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: for all we know. I don't think I shall go. Mr. Amberley,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: it would make the worst possible impression on both the
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: police and on myself if you refused to follow up
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: so obvious a clue. We should feel that you are
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: not in earnest about this investigation. Very well, very well,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I'll go.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Perhaps you'd better go with him, Holmes.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: What? Take your case, Watson, after the brilliant way in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: which you've handled it? No, no, no, no, no. Go along, Mr. Amberley,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: or you'll miss your train. Very well, but the expensive.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Here you are, Watson. Here's your bag. It's packed. Yes,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you never know when you may be called off on
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: a case like this. I packed it for you. Oh, no,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I do think that... Quite. Now, whatever you do, see
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that he really does go to Little Purlington.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, I don't think that he's... Again, quite.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Should he break away and try to return, get to
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the nearest telegraph station and send me the single word, bolted.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I will arrange to have it reach me wherever I am.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: What? You have something to look into at this end, then?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I have, Watson. This case is beginning to take on
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a rather curious and sinister aspect. Above all, old man,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: take good care of yourself. And Mr. Amberley. Before we
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: find the outcome of Watson's curious mission, ladies and gentlemen,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I have a few words to say. Here's what you
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: want to do when you feel a cold coming on.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Here's what you want to do with the very first
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: sign of a cold. Take famous bromoquinone cold tablets. Bromoquinone
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: tablets don't fool. No, sir, they get right after a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: cold symptom. They get right after a cold's misery. They
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: relieve the headache and other pains.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: That go with a cold.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: They relieve that stuffiness and feeling of depression that accompanies
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: a cold. They help reduce the fever that goes with
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: a cold. Bromoquinone tablets are fast and decisive in their action. First,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: because they're made especially for the relief of the common cold,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and secondly, because they act internally. You can take lots
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: of things for the relief of a cold, but nothing
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: more reputable and reliable than famous Bromo quinine tablets. Get
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: them at any drugstore at the first symptom of a cold.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Ask for Bromo, B-R-O-M-O, quinine, Q-U-I-N-I-N-E, Bromo quinine cold tablets. Ah,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: confound this rain. Everything's as dark as a black hole
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of Calcutta. The haven. Cheery little haven this is. I
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: can find a window unlatched. Not much chance on the
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: first floor. The old boy's two quarters. Woof.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Second-story window, perhaps.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Now, if I can manage to scale this porch pillar. Ah,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: this confounded rain. Just simply is a grease pole. Come on. Hey,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: there we are. Yeah. There's a window that's unmatched. Easy, easy, easy.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: There now. One foot over the sill. Up with your ends.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Up with them, I tell you.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Thought I wouldn't see you prowling around down below, eh? Well,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: I've caught you red-handed.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Nice wild goose chase that turned out to be. That
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: friend of yours, Sherlock Holmes, is a fool.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, Mr.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Hamlet, if you'll call and see him, he can explain.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Explain?
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Explain nothing. That vicar had never seen that telegram before.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: The way he treated us. You might have thought we
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: were suspicious characters. Then missing the last train and having
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: to sit up all night in the confounded station with
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: the rain dripping.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: Through the roof.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Well, we could have gone to an hotel.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: Gone to an hotel? That costs money.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Gone to an hotel, indeed.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Well, here's your house, Mr.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Ambler.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I think I'll go along home now and get some breakfast.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: You will not.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: I'm going to come into the house and see if
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: everything's all I look up there. The window over the porch.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: It's open. Perhaps you left it like that, you say?
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Rubbish.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: I tell you, I don't like the looks of this.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Where's my key? Where's my key? Here it is.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: We'll soon find out.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I say, it is gloomy, isn't it?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Look, look, look.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: Someone's been here writing up footprints on the fresh paint.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I'll find him if I have to tear the place apart.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: No need for that, Mr. Ambly. We're here waiting for
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: you in the study.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Holmes!
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Good heavens, from the start you get.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: How did you get in here?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I climbed in through the upstairs window.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: That's burglary, young man.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Yes. Burglary's always been an alternate profession, and I cared
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to adopt it. I'll admit I was glad I hadn't
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: when I walked into Inspector Lestrade's gun last night. He
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: thought I was a burglar, too. But come, we're.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Keeping him waiting.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: He's in the library. Here they are, Lestrade. I told
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: you we could expect them back before ten.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: No, but look here, that's not Lestrade. That's the man
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I saw loitering in front of the gate yesterday afternoon.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: The fellow with the black moustache and the glasses.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's right, Dr.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Watson. Yes. Lestrade fondly imagines that's the disguise.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, look here, no?
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: It's as obvious to anyone who.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Takes a look at.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: Now, look here, I've had enough of this. I won't
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: have two busybodies prowling around my house in the middle
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: of the night. And what's more, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, I
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: suspect you sent that telegram yourself.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Very clever of you, Mr. Amberley, very clever. You look
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to trifle pale. I thought a night in the country
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: might do you good.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Oh, I know enough of that. What kind of a
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: fool do you take me for? I'll have you put
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: behind the bars, all of you.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: No, surely not, Inspector Lestrade. Why, he's from Scotland Yard.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: I don't care if it's from the house alone.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, none of that.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: You're all disgraced, publicly disgraced.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Breaking into my house in the middle of the night.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'll get you for that. What were you doing
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: in here last night? Answer me that.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Looking for the bodies.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: What?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Looking for the bodies. The bodies of your wife and Dr. Ernest.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: What have you done with them? I dare you.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: How dare you?
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: You murder them in this room.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: We have ample proof.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Why, you... Stop him, Watson.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Stop him.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: He's got a capsule in his hand. It's poison. He's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: going to swallow it.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: No, no, no.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Hit it out.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Hit it out. Hit it out or I'll choke you. No,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: short track, Mr. Ambley, if you please. Everything decently and
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: in its proper place. Take him away, Lestrade. Right. Come
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: along now.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: No more monkey business.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I won't put up with that.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: Phew.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: What a scene.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: That old brute Ambley's a murderer.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: How did you find it out? Well, the first clue
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: was the theater ticket. which he didn't use. We found
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that out.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, that destroyed his alibi.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Yes, the theater people assured us that there had been
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: two empty seats, not just one. The second clue was
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the smell of fresh paint. What was he trying to
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: hide by that?
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: What?
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Gas. He asphyxiated his wife and Dr. Ernst in this room.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Good heavens.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: His strong room, which was as near airtight as anything
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: could humanly possibly be. But how? Well, that's what I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to find out. That's what I was looking for
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: when I broke into the house last night. And what
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: did you find? Look here. Notice the gas pipe along
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the skirting here. It rises in the wall in the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: angle there and ends in that plaster rose in the
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: center of the ceiling where it's concealed by that ornamentation.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The end's wide open.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, how horrible.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, then look here. Look, near the floor. What do
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you make out?
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Two words written on the wall.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: We were.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Then a scroll.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: We were.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: What does that mean?
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: The poor devil was trying to write, we were murdered.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I can see the whole ghastly scene. It was last
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Thursday night. Amberley had lured his wife and Dr. Ernest
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: into this room.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, listen to that wind. I wish it would stop.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: It's not so bad in this room.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Have a little game in here, eh, Dr.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Ernest? Just you sit here, Amberley.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: Entertain the doctor while I go and look for the chessmen.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Excuse me for a minute, Dr.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Ernest.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Certainly. And if you don't mind, I'll close the door.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: It's such a draught.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: It'll be much cozier in here with the door closed.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Much cozier.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: If that wind only wouldn't hold. I feel so depressed.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: Is there something terrible going to happen?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Nonsense, my dear Mrs.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: Amberley.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: This house is getting on your nerves.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Is there any wonder? It gets worse and worse.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, Dr. Ernest, I'm so frightened.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: You must go away, please.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Now, don't be alarmed, Mrs.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Amberley.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I've had your husband under observation for some time.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid he isn't quite normal.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: It, uh, it isn't safe for you to stay here
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: any longer.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: But, Dr. Ernest, don't you understand?
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: I can't leave my husband. Heaven knows what would happen
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: if I left him alone.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: We could get a nurse to.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Take care of him.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: You can't stay here with him.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: What was that?
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: Josiah, he heard us.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: He was outside the door listening.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, Dr. Ernest, this is terrible.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: What can we do? Listen. You hear that? It's the cat.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Someone's turned on the gas.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I can smell it. Hurry, hurry.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: We've got to get out of here. What?
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: The door's locked.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: He's locked the door.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Emily.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I say, Emily, open the door. Quick.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: The window.

  Speaker 4: They decided he was.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: He ended his days in an asylum.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: Did they ever find the body? Yes, at the bottom

  Speaker 3: of an old well, the opening of which had been cleverly.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Concealed by a dog cat.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I see.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: And now I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye.

  Speaker 3: Manning.

  Speaker 2: Anyway, in conclusion, I want to thank you and our
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: radio audiences who have so.
• 26:27

  Speaker 4: old fellow.

  Speaker 3: And I want to wish you all, old.

  Speaker 4: And young, an extremely happy summer.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Dr.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Watson. Ladies and gentlemen, in just a moment, Basil Rathbone
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: would like to say a few words to you.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: But first, may I give you a word of advice?
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Remember the danger of the so-called common cold. Remember the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: sickness it can cause and the bills it can cost.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Act promptly, decisively, at the first sign of a cold.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Take famous bromoquinine tablets. Bromo quinine tablets have a reputation.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Their fame extends to all quarters of the globe. Their
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: merit is an assured fact. Reliability is the one thing
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: you want in any medicine, especially in a medicine for
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: the relief of cold.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Don't wait. Don't procrastinate when you feel a cold coming on.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Go right to your druggist and get a box of
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: bromo quinine tablets. The small cost may save you a
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: lot in grief and expense. Ask clearly for bromo quinine
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: cold tablets. And now, here's Basil Rathbone. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: to me, Sherlock Holmes has always been... one of the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: greatest characters ever created. Tonight, as our present series ends,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: I'd like to thank our sponsor, the makers of Bromoquinine...
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: for giving me the opportunity of playing Holmes on the air.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Especially with such an inspired Dr. Watson as tonight's Bruce.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, Basil, I... Please.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry, I won't. Speaking for myself and Mr. Bruce...
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: May I express our gratitude to our radio audience for
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the many letters of interest and encouragement that we've received.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: And finally, a word of appreciation to all the performers
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and others concerned with this program who have helped so
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: immeasurably in making the Baker Street days live again. And now,
• 28:13

• 28:16
  Speaker 1: revoir and good luck.
