Sherlock Holmes Radio The Christmas Bride Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Conw · Sherlock Holmes

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And now how about that Christmas bride, Doctor Watson.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Her name was Genevra, and she was the heir and
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: only child of Lord Robert Neville, tenth Earl and fifty
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: fourth Baron Pensdragon of Pensdagon Castle. Yes, I shall never
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: forget my first glimpse of that ancient and somewhat forbidding edifice,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the walled gray and bleak, without the summer covering of ivy,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the towers square and defiant, with the red or rouged
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: dragon Pennant angrily defying the winter gales. Will as I
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: was saying, a rather urgent message from Lord Neville on
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: elegant embosstationery had arrived at two twenty one b Baker Street.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Would mister Holse and Dr Watson do him the honor
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: of a visit to Pensdragon over the Christmas holidays. The
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: visit to include the wedding of his daughter led Geneva
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to the immensely wealth favor. Slightly middle aged went with Trimingham,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: which was due to occurred on the second day of
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: the new year.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Now don't tell me.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: The eminent mister Sherlock Holmes was called in to guard
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: the wedding presence doctor.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Watch hardly, mister Harris.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: At any rate, the day before Christmas Pounders are lighting
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: from our plane at a small station in the Cumberland Hills,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: which as you know, are situated in.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: The north of England. There had been a slight fall
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: of snow.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: An ancient carriage with great wheels and the little arms
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: on the door was down up to the station platform,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: while the anxious peace of the Lord of the manor
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: himself in top hat and ear mups peered through one
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: of the steamy windows.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Mister ORMs and doctor Watson, that's right this way, gentlemen,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: His Lordship expect your incourage.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Quite a fall of snow you've had here, I sir,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: more of common my rights.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: We should have brought the sleigh only his Lordship loaded
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: to the vicar for tomorrow night. Vicar always plays by
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: the Christmas and they all on Christmas Eve. Panos and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: mister ORMs and doctor Watch. Good afternoon, gentlemen, Good afternoon.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: You'll hop in before you free to death?
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Are you here? Mister Holmes? Here your friend off?
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Is it? Ha? And now then Dennis back to Pensdragon
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: as fast as you can.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I'm a lot, mister Holmes.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: You are doubtless curious as to why I've invited you
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: and doctor Watson to share our yule Tide celebrations at
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: pens Dragon. To be quite honest, Lord Novel, I didn't
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: think it was entirely for the pleasure of our society.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Although Watson is quite an asset when it comes to
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: carol singing.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Oh tenor, certainly not a baritone. That's good.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: The vicar who leads the Christmas singing, he's rather proud
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: of his tenor voice, and I may say he's not
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: too fond of competition. Mister Holmes, I have invited you
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to pens Dragon to make sure that nothing nothing occurs
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: to prevent the marriage of my daughter to mister Wentworth Trimmingham.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Why is that marriage so inferative, Lord Neville.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: To be brutally frank, mister Holmes, the neble Estates are
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: mortgaged up to the ears. If the marriage does not
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: go through on the second of next month, I shall
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: be bankrupt, totally bankrupt.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You'll see.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Has anything occurred, Lord Neville, to make you fear that
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: this marriage may not take well? No, that is nothing definite.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Perhaps the Lady Genevra hasn't been able to hide her
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: distaste for the mayor.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, nothing like that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it was a passionate attachment on either side,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: but they like the same things. She laughs at all
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: his jokes. What better foundation could one ask for a marriage?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: J Watson, That's what I should have said. Well, everything
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: was as smooth as silk until the dowager Duchess of
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Terse gave the engagement dinner last month. It was at
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: her suggestion that I sent you the invitation to Penn's Dragon.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: She's been decidedly edgy ever since Percy returned in the
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: midst of the betrothal dinner two weeks ago. Percy as
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Percy is my cousin. Although he's only seven years older
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: than Genevra, he's our next of kids.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, he's an orphan and lived.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: With us at Pen's Dragon until he went off to
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Canada to seek his fortune two years ago.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: If anything should happen to your daughter before she produced
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: an air, would Percy never inherit?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, doctor Watson.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Both the title and the estates Percy Neverell's return was unexpected.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I gather it was unexpected and melodramatic. To say the least.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: The betrothal dinner was being held in the great hall
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: of Penn's Dragon Castle. My daughter had just risen to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: return the bridegroom's toast. As she lifted her glass, a
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: casement window was thrown violently open, and Percy walked in
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: out of the night.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: And now I should like to make a toast to
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: my future bridegroom.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Percy side of a session abrupt lurse. But I came
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: as soon as I received news of the engagement, Percy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Why didn't you let us know you were coming?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Let you know, Let you know when you never bother
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: to answer my letters?
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: But Percy, we never received any let us.
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: We thought you'd forgotten this I had forgotten, so if
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: that would have mattered, Percy.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: That's not true. You know how fond I we are
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: of you, How touching Percy? This is Wentworth Wentworth killing him,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: my future bridegroom.
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Sure, this is the little man they've sold you to
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: start at once.
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: I'm very fond of us, are you?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: My dear Geneva?
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: How'sy? Why do you look at me like that to.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: Think you should so soon forget our family motto nay
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: bela baylis the name never means that, you know, nay bela.
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: Baalis, nay v they venus, let it take it a
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: home quite, it means stooped to nothing base.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: In case you've forgotten your obbit, Watson.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Oh teacher, grandmother to suck as, tell me god Neville,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: what happened?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Doctor Percy quoted the family motto to your daughter.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: He stamped off to his old rooms in the tower
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and hasn't been out of them since.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: How does the lady Geneva react to this unfriendly behavior? Who,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: she says, let himself, it's no concern of hers.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Lady Terce, on the other hand, is thoroughly unnerved by
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Percy's return. Is she feels sure he'll do something outrageous.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: The day of the wedding, Paul wentworth as his edgy
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: as a hen on a hot riddle. Well, of course,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that may be due to his encounter with a white lady.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: White lady who she the ghost.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Of the first Genevra.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: You know, the bride who played hide and seek on
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: her wedding night and was never seen alive again. Years later,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: her skeleton was found in her great dour chest, still
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: dressed in her wedding gown. She'd hidden in there, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: somehow the hasse must have fallen down and she was
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: locked in and smothered to death.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Seems to me I remember a rather famous perm on
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: the subject.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Of a Yes, so all the Genevas and the Nevile
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: family have been named after her. She's supposed to walk
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: through the halls of the castle whenever a misfortune is
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: due to a.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Curtain cheerful damase or her homes. When and how did
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: went worth trimming a meat the lady?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Well, mister Holmes, it seems it's his habit to knock
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: on my daughter's door on his way to bed to
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: wish her good night. Last night, the wind was rather high,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: and he couldn't seem to make my daughter hear.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Suddenly he heard a strange creaking noise down the corridor
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: behind him.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Looking round, he saw the lid of the dark chest
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: rise slow. Geneva, Geneva, my DearS, I went forth, I've
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: come to bid you good night.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Dene Are you there, genever o.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Me?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Was that? Good lord?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: But the lid of the chest sizing there's something woman
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: in white.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: She's rising out of the chest.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Who are you, Genevera? You call to me, so.
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: I have come to warn.
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: You go away, go away before.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It is too late. Then what happened, Lord Noble to nothing,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: mister Holmes.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: Apparently the white figure glided past my daughter fiance and
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: disappeared up the task stairs.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: What did the lady look like?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Fland Brunette Wentworth says her features were hidden by the
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: bridal veil. Yes, interesting, I suppose anyone in the house
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: would have access to that power chest. On the contrary,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: mister Holmes, too many people are possessed of insatiable curiosity.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I keep the silly thing safety petlocked. I promise you
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: how many keys are but to that petlock.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: One which I keep by me here on my hearing.
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: A very wise precaution, I say, Holmes, w that is
• 8:53
  Speaker 10: even mo than the one in my room.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: But the tells me Queen Victoria slept there when she
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: paid a visit in eighteen forty six.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It looks so superior, Watson.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Queen Elizabeth, I'm told, slept here quite a few years before.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: There or come in all, lady tis beautiful and charming
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: as ever.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Stuff and nonsense. Glad to see you both of you.
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: Something's going on here.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Don't like it? What sort of something. Are you referring to,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Lady Turs.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: No, if I did, shouldn't have sent for you. Ginebra
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: looks as if butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. Bad sign.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Percy looks like a thunderclow.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: That's worse. I thought Percy locked himself in his rooms
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and refused to see anyone.
• 9:32
  Speaker 11: I'd like to see anyone refuse to see me. So,
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: but I'm gavin you will want to view the premises.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, First of all, I'd like to inspect that dour chest.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: It might be interesting to investigate how a lady in
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: white can emerge from a carefully padlock copper.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: Then you don't think it was a ghost, neither do I? Well,
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: what was she up to?
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: You should be able to answer those questions better, Lady Turse,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: after you've had a look inside that box. I wonder
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: if you could persuade Lord Neville to lend us the
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: key perfectly, mister Holmes.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: The Lord never insists having it back the moment you've
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: finished with him.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Suspicious, old boy, he Holmes.
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: Not suspicious doctor Watson bussy. Well, mister Holmes, why the
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: lay open the silly chest? Let's see what's inside?
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: So fast, Lady Tourst Not so fast. First, let's have
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: a look at the lock. Heavy old bit of machinery.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: It's almost impossible to pick it without showing signs. There
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: are no signs. Then whoever opened it chuse that key
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: not necessarily wants some. But there's only one key. Lord
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Neville told us so.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: And if Robert says the thing, it's gospel.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, interesting carving around the lock. The wood's pretty old.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: Naturally open it up, fine, dying of curiosity?
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Really well, luck and Biling hasn't been unlocked for some time.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I'll remove the padlock, Hell Watson, hold it now, Lady Tersts,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: if you'll help me raise the lib right, good.
• 10:59
  Speaker 11: Lord Watson, Oh it's for Genevra's spaniel goes everywhere with
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: her regular shadow.
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes, here she can.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Hello there, I'm Genevra By. You must be sherl Or
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: Colmb's and doctor Watson delighted.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Don't let me stop you, mister Holmes. You want Father
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: told me what you're up to. I'm dying to see
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: what's in the chest too. Go ahead, open it up,
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: God dong boy.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: You see it's a biggish box, isn't it. Yes, a
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: woman could easily hide in there.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: Something white and certain lying on the bottom. Wonderful. It
• 11:32
  Speaker 7: must be her wedding dress. I've always heard it was
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: still in there.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Remarkable to find it in such good condition after all
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: these years.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: The remarkable thing about it, Lady Geneva, is this dust
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and dirt on the hymn.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Watson, give me an envelope. I shall want to take
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: a sample. But that's fascinating.
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I've heard simply fabulous things about you, mister Holmes, and
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: now I believe them.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Everyone do you yes, I think we've seen everything there
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: is to be seen here.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Watson, you may close the lip and lock it right.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Uh huh.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: So this is mister Sherlock Holmes and his famous deductions.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: They told me you were coming. They Who's they? I understood?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: You get no one in here, not even the maid.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: You've overlooked, Lady Terce, try to keep her out of anything.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: I didn't mention, mister Holmes, per Se, or did?
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I don't look so suspicious, Lady Terse. I've decided to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: be a good boy.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: I've even decided to come downstairs tonight and join in
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: the Christmas Eve festivities.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: Per Se that gleam in your eyes. I've known you
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: too long. You're up to something.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: If you want to know what satisfying people really means,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: ask any man who wears Clippercraft clothes.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: He'll sing their praises with good reason too.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: For values like Clippercraft amaze even clothing experts.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Until you see.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Clippercraft clothes and try them on, you won't believe such
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: really superb suits are possible at only forty and forty
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: five dollars, and such rich, long wearing top coats and
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: overcoats at only forty dollars, such very smart sport jackets
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: at only twenty six fifty. For just a fraction of
• 13:15

  Speaker 1: It'll keep you warm.

  Speaker 3: It's a long cold drive to Gretna Green. But mister Hole,

  Speaker 3: Can't blame him this cold night. Hell, let us get
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: inside before we freeze to death.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: Good idea, Oh, I say they're ready to start the dancing.
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: Wigworth's trying to find you, Nebra, so they can lead
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: the dancers.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Hell calling, good heavens, what is that? Get me out?
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Someone's got himself locked in the dungeon. This way the
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: entrances through the dining room, was hoping for more of
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: a head start. Posse nothing at all. This is the
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: door to the dungeon.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Let me out, Let me out, I say, yeah, the
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: door has bolted.
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: Just a moment.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Get me out of here.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Lord, it's the vicar down there in his underwear and
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: trust up like a New Year's goose.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: This is an outrage.
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: Get me out of here.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: But if the vicar is.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Here, who drove off in the sleigh? Presumably an impostor
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: who stole the Vicker's clothes. I thought it might be,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: you know when I heard Father Christmas sing bass say.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Homes homes were are you lady genever? Have Fellosi can't
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: find her anywhere. She's disappeared, vanished into thinner. Hey Scott,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: someone get the vicar out of the dungeon. I've got
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to find my daughter.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, mister Holmes, come quickly. Jan never has disappeared. The
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: dog is crouched in front of the door chest.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Oh hurry, gentlemen.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: The same scoundrel that locked the Vicker in the dungeon
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: has undoubtedly put Geneva in the dower chest.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Hop up too late.
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: I can't as good to break the chest open, but
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: the dog won't let him near.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: S.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Easy, easy thought, you boy, he says, I know, I
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: know what you're trying to say. We'll get her out.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Oh confounded the key, lady, test What did you do
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: it with the key?
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: I gave it to you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: No you didn't, Oh yes you did too. I don't write,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: you know, no key needed.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: The wood's so old and the staple's so loose it's
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: quite possible to lift the lock.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Right out like this that I raised the lid. Crap Scott.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: There's nothing in there, but a roasted beef four is
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: made off with it. I'm afraid that explains his interest
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: in the chest. But if Geneva isn't here, where is
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: she with Father Christmas? I imagine they're heading for the
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Scottish border in the sleigh. Don't ever catch them, I'm afraid.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: Oh god, she's a lope with person. So she did
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: talk a round good baha. So that's why she trailed
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: off up the tower steps in that old bridal gown.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: I suspected as much when I discovered some of Percy's
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: ashes on its heim bo.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: But this is dreadful. I should be ruined. We'll have
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: to return all the wedding presents.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: Civil Diday personally. All make mine a much handsomer contolution.
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: Jenever shall have the tiara and my emeralds as well.
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: They're worth the king's ransom.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Lady Tis, you are an astounding she made.
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: Four women are but keeping the dancers waiting? You shual
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: leed the lancers with me.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Robert, Come along, say Holmes, you old fraud. I believe
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you knew what was going on all the time. I suspected. Watson,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: I suspected.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: But when I saw the lady Geneva raise her ball
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: gown and display a pair of traveling boots, I was sure.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: But come along, Watson, we shall have to get out
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: of the kitchen and make peace with the cropper. Why
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: that but making off with Sunday's roasted beef. Something had
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: to be done to keep the dog interested, or he'd
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: have given the show away.
