• 0:37
  Speaker 3: When I tell you the adventure took face at eighteen
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty one, I think you will agree that

  Speaker 3: after such a lapse of time, a man can hardly
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: rely on memory alone.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Eighteen eighty one, Doctor Tonight's adventure, it must have been
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: one of the really early ones.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: It was, indeed, in fact be exact, It took place
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: only a little while after Sherlock Holmes and I had first.

• 1:00

  Speaker 3: Baker Street lodgings with him for over a month before

  Speaker 3: I was even certain of his profession, the knowledge of
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: which I learned to my awe and astonishment when our
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: first adventure together took place.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: That was the one you called a study in scarlet, wasn't.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: It that memory?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: But even after that adventure, I found myself wondering at
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: times what I had let myself in for sharing lodgings
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: with such a strange companion. It was in one of
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: those moods of doubts and confusion that my story begins.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Late one March evening, I found myself in the neighborhood
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: that figured in the circus. It was cold, and instead
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: of drizzle of rain had dampened my spirits. I took
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the glass of wine and the sound of music that
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: put me in a better mood, and the firm is
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: about tell. I entered the Criterion restaurant. As I sat
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: with a glass of rare vintage Porte at my elbow,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: the orchestra playing a Dreams Class waltz in the background,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I couldn't help thinking of a life fast time that
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I've been there. It was a night I met a
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: young medical student for the name of Temple. He was
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the man who first introduced it to Sherlock Holmes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Suddly, I put a stap on my shoulder.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I turned, and to my amazement, once again, young Stamford was.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Standing before.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Or should I say, doctor Watson? How are you, my
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: dear Chad?
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Hello, Stamford comes to dark. Thanks.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to see that you're not holding any grudge
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: against me. Why else would I do that for introducing
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you to Sherlock Holmes. I've reproached myself ever since.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: I think he's as mad as a heckcentric.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: In fact, i'll admit that he is eccentric, but he's
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: an extremely interesting follow.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He'll make a great.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Thing for himself as a private depicture one of these days,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you'll see if I'm not right Stamford.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I saw something about him in the paper the other day.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Was the last in Gardens of Fellows? Yes, yes it was.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: He's a brilliant man's stafford, quite brilliant, so im just
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for the times. He was like a fiend as a rule,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: but occasionally a action si for days the time to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: rely on our sofa, Harvey, I think a word on
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: moving muscle from.

  Speaker 2: like to join in a.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Little plot Potter against Home?
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, just rag. You know, we thought it'd be
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: rather fun. We Bursday and I we were just talking
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: about it. I'll call him over burthy. Maybe I've seen
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: him before something I'm sure you must have done. He's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: been around at the hospital and anytime you go in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the British Museum you'll find him there. Nice fellow, but dull,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: definitely doll.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Yes, Stamford.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: Oh, this is.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: A friend of mine, John Watson. This is James Murphy.

  Speaker 3: joke on Home.

  Speaker 2: Yes, that's our plans.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Well it's hardly our plans, camp, but it's very lady
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Anne Partington's idea. You see, Holmes is very rude to
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: her when she visited the hospital recently, and she wants
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: to well, you know, take him down a pegatol.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Enough, I must say, he's inclined to be rather elegant. Time.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Well, what's what's the plan.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: We'll need your help, Whatson. You must be careful not
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: to give the joke away. I'll bet you a fiver
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: that homes falls for the whole story. Oh glad and sinker.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Now here's exactly what we're.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: Planning to do.
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Lady Anne is going to call on homes at Fake
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: the Street in the morning, call to.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: See me in my professional capacity.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: Surely, my dear man, you didn't think this was a
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: social call.
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: You're much too rude to me at the hospital the
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: other day for that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: That was the point I was trying to make.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: You need to take this chairman to my most comfortable room.
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: Thank you, doctor Watts.
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: And now what can I do to help you?
• 4:46
  Speaker 8: You've heard of the elkinstone emerald?
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: Oh yes, yes, indeed a magnificent stone, a very considerable value,
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: an heirloom in your family.
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: I believe, yes, mister Holmes. I keep it in a
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: wall safe in my bedroom.
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: This morning, when I had occasion to go to the safe,
• 5:00
  Speaker 9: I discovered that the Emerald had been.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Stolen Scott business. Of course you wanted to homes to
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: recover it poil.
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: A remarkable deduction idea, Doctor Lydianne are when you open
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: the safe, did you observe any signs of it having
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: been tampered with?
• 5:13
  Speaker 9: I think it's rather stupid to sit and answer questions
• 5:16
  Speaker 9: here in Baker Street. Why don't you come over to
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: my house in Cavendy Square and examine the safe for yourself.
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: You are a detective, aren't.
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: You, Lady An Just now you accuse me of rudeness.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: I assure you that mine, at least was unintentional.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Come, come, come home touch.
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: I can promise you a substantial theme, mister Holmes.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: I'm a struggling practitioner and a new professional in my poverty,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: but not my will consent.
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: I pay thy poverty and not thy will you see.
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: I can quote my Shakespeare too, mister Holmes. My carriage
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: is waiting, gentlemen, let's drive over to Cavendy Square at once?
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: Shall is that the wall safe, mister Holmes?
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: Difficult safety track for an expert. You placed the emerald
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: in it last night, you say.
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: Yes, when I went to bed, and this morning it
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: had gone.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Surely, Holmes, this is a good occasion to use that
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: magnifying glass that you're always.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: Fitting about incident occasion, my dear doctor. That's why I
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: brought it with me.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: M hmm.
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: That's very interesting. Is this safe was opened by an
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: experts the sign if it's having been forced? Hello discovered
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: there's a peculiar tarnish on steel knob. It was obviously
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: handled by someone whose fingers are habitually stained with chemical Amazing,
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: Ima to my dear doctor, what does that dolly do?
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: My good one, I should like to examine it if
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: I may.
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: But of course, doctor Watson, this is the most beautiful
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: April fool's April and I've ever played.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: It was right?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: He has fallen plent thinker who does the same. I'm
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: beginning to feel guilty. I can't help feeling it's all
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: in fun.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Last time for mister Murphy.
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: Listening, Yes, the next door in my drawing room, I'm
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: sure their ears are positively gued to the keyhole homes
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: of the car comes.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: An interest in there. The windows haven't been tampered with.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: We may presume, therefore, that the thief did not enter
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: by an upstairs window. Oliliam, Yes, mister, this room is
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: not being touched since you discovered your loss.
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: Oh no, I told the servants to leave it exactly
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: as it was while I.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Came to fetch you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Figure that up.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: Uh, the thief with the tall man with a long stride?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Come, come, come, homes.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I know your methods, but there aren't any footprints on
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: this carpet that that you can identify, even with your magnifying.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: I've studied many kinds, and I've never seen one yet
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: that was committed by a flying creature. As long as
• 7:47
  Speaker 7: the criminal remains on his two legs, there must be
• 7:49
  Speaker 7: some some typing displacement can be detected by a keen observer.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: I assure you that the mats on this carpet indicate
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: that the thief, whether a tall man with a long
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: stride mm is a tobacco ash five tobacco bag. Tobacco
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: that cells that opens an ouns.
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: Now, really, mister Holmes, how can you possibly identify an
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: individual tobacco?
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: It's hopy of mine. In fact, I've even written a
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: monograph on the subject. Now one more.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: Look at the.
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: Hello, what's the part of the dust? But it was
• 8:24
  Speaker 7: its trace of rosin, Lady Anne, I suggest to get
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: in touch with Scotland job at once.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: You mean that you've solved her.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: I mean, my Adoctor, that I can give you a
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: reasonably complete picture of the thief. And that picture is
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: so individual that I'd be surprised if it would fit
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: more than one man in London.
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: Right, this is pure magic, mister Holmes, Please describe.
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: Him to well, he's a tall man, that pride indicates that,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: and he's thin.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: What enables you to tell that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: His footprints have made a remarkably like indentation on the
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: nap of the carpet. Thief devil's extensively in chemicals, as
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: indicated about the tarnishing of the knob on the safe,
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: and the traces of rosin would suggest that he plays
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: the violin. Also, the smokeshag Tobacco has a great practical
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: knowledge of the ways of combination locks, and he's obviously
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: in close contact with the criminal classes. How do you
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: know that, mister, Well, he wouldn't steal the famous stoners.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: You how to dispose of it through some transport.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: It's a very comprehensive picture. Homes. I almost feel if I.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Use a chirp, thank you, doctor. I'm sure there's only
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: one man in London and it shouldn't be hard to
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: praise him.
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: I agree entirely, mister Holmes, Doctor Watson, I think the
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: joke has gone far enough.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: Joke. What do you mean?
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: You're quite right, homes And thinking there's only one such
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: man in London, You've just given a perfect description of yourself.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: April Fool, Doctor Stamford, mister Murphy.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: April fool.
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: Come along here into the drawing room. Everyone, let us
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: drink a glass of wine. Mister Holmes, who were so
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: graciously forgiveness with the little trick we played on him, and.
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: Also to doctor Stamford, was part of.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: The whole idea, no hard feelings home.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: No doctor. It was a rather and dalasing experience, and Murphy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Told me about the plan. I just couldn't resist joining him.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Ah, here you are, Holmes, here's a drink.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Stampan.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: You know Murphy, don't you?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: No?
• 10:26
  Speaker 7: I don't think we've met.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: How'd you do home?
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: How did you like the little game we played on you?
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: It was rather a salutary experience. I suppose you gave
• 10:33
  Speaker 7: them all the details to build up the picture of me.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Hey, doctor, I did at homes, and knowing some of
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: your methods, we tried to plant every clue that you
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: would pick up.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: Very neat job to an incidentally, a perfect example of
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: the dangers of deductions based on purely circumstantial evidence. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: shall profit from this little lesson.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: I must say it was worth a fortune and emeralds
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to see her face homes when you realize what you'd done.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Well, the jokes over. Now, by the way, where is
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: lady Anne?
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: I believe she said she was going to fetch the
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Oaphenstone emerald.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: She thought you might be interested in seeing it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: He probably feels the site that held my wounded that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, here she comes down home.
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: What's happened to the emerald?
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: It's not where I hit it this time, it's really stolen.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a few seconds,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: so I've just time to remind you that there are many,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: many different types of wine. But if you want one
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: wine that's fine for almost any occasion, then you want
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Petrie California's sherry. Petrie sherry is fine before dinner, of course,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: But Petrie sherry is good after dinner too, and it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the perfect wine for cocktail time or anytime friends drop in.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Everybody will love the real heart of the great flavor
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you get in every sip of Petrie sherry. And you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: can serve Petrie Sherry proudly because those letters P E.
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: T R.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: I fell the proudest name in the history of American wine,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: pet Free Wine. Jacky Watson, your April Full Day plot
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: kind of backfired on you, didn't It was about tell.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: It was a perfect example of.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: The bite a bit.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: For what happened next, I suppose Sherlock Holmes went into
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: action once again.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's about telling.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: It cured in my heart to see the change in
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the for I confess I'd feet rather ashamed of my
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: part in the prank. For I could see that Holmes
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: his pride had been hurt, but now the definite crime
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: before him. The difference was amazing. He suddenly became a dynamo,
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: galvanized in action as he stood there parting question.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: The other members, who is not yourself knew of this
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: fresh hiding place those Mercy and I did, Yes.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: After we left our deliberate clues on the safe. We
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: went with Lady Anne and saw us to creek the
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: emerald and the top draw up her dressing table.
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: We thought it would be all right there after all,
• 13:03
  Speaker 9: as soon as the joke was over, I was going
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: to put it back in the safe.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I think our wisest plan before we question the servants
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: would be for each one of you who were in
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: this April fool day Frank, to submit to being searched home.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Surely you don't suggest that any one of us took
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the emerald nos.
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: Time, but I don't. But if any one of you
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: fall are not guilty, this will be a splendid way
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: of proving your innocency stood at home.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: You're not suggesting that Lady Anne stole our own, are.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: You, mister hom I'm suggesting nothing. But I may point
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: out that the recent vogue for the insurance companies has
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: provided another interesting motive for these so called I resent
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: your insinuation.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: It's out rache, Lady Anne.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: If I'm to recover your emerald, I'm not a pleast.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: Consider every possibility. The search is the most immediate practical action.
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: Perhaps you'll retire into the next room and I persuade
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: these gentlemen to submit to being searched very well, but I.
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: Think you're in danger of making a fool of yourself.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, don't don't go, Lady Anne, search one be necessary.
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: What do you mean I must throw myself on your mercy,
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Lady Anne. I confess that I stole the Emerald Murphy
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: after you put it in the drawer, lady, and I
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: slipped back into.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: The room and took it out.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Well, that's a criminal action, I know.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: It, but I'm poor. I need money desperately for my
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: mathematical research. I knew the emerald was priceless, and I
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: couldn't resist the temptation to take advantage of a joke. Here,
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Lady Anne, here's the stone. And please don't prosecute me.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: Please don't it been my ruin?
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: May I examine the emerald?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Ladyanne?
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: Thank you well, mister Murphy. I won't pretend that I'm
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: not deeply shocked. I must ask you to leave my house.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: But you won't prosecute me, will you? It was a
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: moment's temptation.
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: No, no, I won't prosecute you.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Home. What are you doing with the emerald?
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: Knowing something of the disparate ways of thieves. I came
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: on this case fully prepared to test the emerald when
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: I found it now a top of this acid on
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: this vial.
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: So, mister Holmes, what are you doing? You'll enter the stone?
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: No not if it's a true emerald, a good lord,
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: as the dating to the stillness. If it was sugar,
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: then that means It means, Lady Anne, that mister McKay
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: has just impedilled his honor, his freedom to steal a
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: singularly beautiful fake.
• 15:22
  Speaker 9: Mister Holmes, this joke has turned into a nightmare. Is
• 15:26
  Speaker 9: there no way of recovering my emeralds?
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: I hope so, Lady Anne, I've been taking steps in
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: their logical order. The servants have all been questioned. We've
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: searched mister Stamford and mister Murphy.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: His most humiliating experience made me feel like a criminal.
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: For personally, I was only too thankful to submit to
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: a search this time. I knew I had nothing to
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: worry about.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: You yourself, Ladia, knew you've contended to being searched by
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: the police.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Madron that home sent.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: Forth only because he threatened to send for the police
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: if I didn't.
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: But distasteful though it was. I'd rather ENDU are that
• 15:52
  Speaker 9: than have this story on the front pages.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: Of the newspapers.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And in spite of all these rather unfriendly proceedings, we've
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: got exactly nowhere as regards finding the emerald.
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: No Stamford, but we have at least eliminated the possibility
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: that the thief is secreting the jewel on his person.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Still somewhere in these two rooms stay.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: Home, I think so.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Though.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: There is one remaining possibility, and that is that the
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: fake stone was substituted for the real emerald sometime before
• 16:18
  Speaker 7: all of you engineered your April Fool's Day joke.
• 16:20
  Speaker 9: Oh no, mister Holmes, that's not possible. I know it
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: was the genuine emerald I took out of the safe
• 16:25
  Speaker 9: this morning.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: How can you be sure the substitute was an excellent
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: imitation about a chemical test such as I performed. It
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: would be hard to be certain.
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: I can tell you why I'm certain.
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: Last night Papa came to dinner and brought a mister
• 16:39
  Speaker 9: vander Lyder of Amsterdam. He examined the stone, and you'll
• 16:43
  Speaker 9: agree that a duel expert like that couldn't be fool.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: That's true. Lady Anne and what did you do with
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: the emerald? After mister vander Lder left.
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: I locked it in my safe and went to bed.
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: I didn't unlock the safe again until doctor Stamford and
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: mister Murphy came here this morning.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: That's subtled to them.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: The real emerald is still hidden somewhere in these two rooms.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: But where, that's the question.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: I must say, it's completely mystifying.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Well, let's go back to what we were all doing
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: at the exact moment you came into the room, Lady
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: Anne and informed us of the loss of your stone.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Now we were, we were drinking a toast to you.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: And it ah, lady am, hard thinking is well, it's
• 17:21
  Speaker 7: thirsty work.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: I'm so sorry. Let me get you something, a glass.
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: Of poet no, no, thank you, But I observe that
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: you have a remarkably comprehensive assortment of the curse. I
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: wonder if I might have a glass of cream Demond.
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: Oh, of course, I'll get it for.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: It, cream Demon. In the middle of the day home, I.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Knew you were accenter.
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: Bottle.
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: It clings. As I picked it up, I thought it
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: might dady am, there's something inside.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: Allow me, madam, thank you. I'm sure you wouldn't mind
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: if I waste the stick cur on the aspiedestra. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: Lady Anne, allow me to restort you. The Elphins and Emeralds,
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: fantastic engineers, the one safe hiding place in the room.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Where could a green gem be more effectively hidden than
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: in a bottle of green the curved?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Who stole it? Who substituted the fake stone?
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: Frankly, I don't care the gem is restored. That all
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: that matters. I prefer not to go to court. Neither
• 18:22
  Speaker 9: you nor I, Mister sherlack Combs would show up in
• 18:24
  Speaker 9: the best of light, and my father would disapprove of
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: this whole affair.
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: I'm afraid, just as you wish, Lady Am. In either case,
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: I should expect your check from my services in due course.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Here we are to crack here and again Stamford. But
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you come in and join us for lunch.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Thanks watching, but I'll keep the cabin go on. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: actually have a patient this afternoon. A rare and delightful
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: experience for a young doctors should know, as rare.
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: And delightful as a plan is for a young detective.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Based I quite understand, and I'm correspondingly grateful to you.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: If you're you're profitable, so I'm glad it was profitable
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: for you. Personally, I feel pretty stupid about the whole thing.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Well, goodbye, good bye, hold up, goodbye. I'm square, canny, remarkably.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Quark m I'm afraid my conscience on't let me do
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: much talking. Doctor, I'm hardly ashamed of myself. Well, thanks
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: to the leftof I'll leave your traps and Johnson ge
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: join us for lunch.
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: Murphy, but no, that's about it, and says, come on off.
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: Then if oh, come, come, come.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Murphy, any one of us can make a foolish mistake.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It's just like you that you didn't have to pay for.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Your Steve wish, is it, David?
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: The three please this way, monsieur. Does this debut please you?
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: Excellent?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you, hik George. I'm as hungry as a hunter.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: How about you, Murphy.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Now, I'm afraid I have very little appetite.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: Cases upset me dreadfully.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: You mustn't take it so much to heart, Marvie. And
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: by the way, doctor, i'd like to have your opinion
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: on the case. Who do you think stage the theft
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: of the Emerald today?
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: If the offers to me, lady and Parlington did it
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: herself to collect insurance money. If she hadn't, she'd insisted
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: on your finding the thief.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: But you needn't worry, old Chap.
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: You get your fee, all right, I'm sure, though I'm
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: not worry about the fee. But I assure you Lady
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: Anne did not engineer that broad today you mean the
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: little Stafford and tell him who was responsible, my dear Murphy,
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: But how should I know? Come, Amurvie, Let's not pens
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: any longer. You did an excellent job, a superlative job.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: I was almost sorry to disappoint.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: It for you.
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: I don't think I understand your herds you do, Mavie.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: You are a splendid actor too. I was so deeply
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: touched when you were apparently stolen a fake cheel and
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: all the time you knew that the rida one was
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: safely hidden in the bottle that came tomonk be abstracted
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: that your leisure, you scoundrel.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Do you mind telling me what's going on here? I'm
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: completing absolutely in.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: The darsh Elliot's obvious. My dear doctor, the imitation Emerald
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: was a brilliant copy.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: What makes you so sure?
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: Of that, my dear, because this April Fool's Day hoax
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: was only conceived yesterday, or that is what you wish
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: the ops to believe. Such a superb paced gem could
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: not have been made at such short notice. Therefore, it
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: must have been prepared by someone who knew about the
• 21:21
  Speaker 7: hoax before it was arranged. Now, my dear doctor, when
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: Stamper told you about the plan last night, whose idea
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: did he say it was? He told me that it
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: was later and Farlington's pericise then, and yet Lady Anne
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: referred to today as Temper's idea. Obviously, you, my dear Murphy,
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: presented the plan to each as the notion of the other,
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: and so only you could have arranged the real theft
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: behind the hoax. I repeat, a spendid job, mister Holmes.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: May I I also compliment you on your cleverness and
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: frustrating my plot.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Look here, what is all this? One of you, the criminal,
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: the other detective. It's offering each other's.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Conflidence as if you were in the same profession.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: The dividing line between the criminal and the woman investigator
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: is thinner than you might imagine, my dear doctor, How.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: Very true, my dear home, would you consider coming over
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: to my side of the line. Together we can make
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: an unbeatable team.
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: Are you flatinam? Nevertheless, I must decline your offer, mister Murphy,
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: or pity on.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: Your side of the line. You'll never be a rich man.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: By the way, if your edification, my name is not Murphy,
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: those Stamford insists on thinking it is.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: And what is your name, you scoundrel?
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Your friend says the word scoundrel so much better than you, doctor,
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: my name, my name is Murcury.
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: Indeed are spelled mu r t r.
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: Y no dm me. I have so much trouble with
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: my name. People will either misspell it or mispronounce it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid I'll have to begin calling it the way
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: it looks.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: M O r I A r t e y Mariatti, Mariatti,
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: I shall remember that name. I have a feeling we
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: shn meet again.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: I trust that we shall the first round Shelock Holmes,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: I admit that, but I believe that a return match
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: is indicated.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: I shall look forward to it. Mariatt. Now, doctor, I
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: can't stand your bill. For Levine kno its all the luck.
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: Shall we
