Sherlock Holmes Radio The Maltree Abbey Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Conway · Sherlock Holmes

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now doctor White, And how about the Venerable Bead and
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the adventure of Moultrie Abbey.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Well mistabell that story again in Baker Street on the
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: December afternoon, many many years ago, shortly after tea.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: I remember when Sherlock Holmes.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Who'd been pacing up and down our room, from the
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: stop at the window and looked intently out at the
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: street below him. A few moments my curiosity overcame me
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: and I joined my old friend. Looking over his shoulder,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: I saw that on the pavement opposite there stood a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: young woman dressed in the height of Edwardian fashion.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: She wore a third boarn and a broad.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Brimmed hat, from under which she peeped up in a nervous,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: hesitating fashion at our windows, while her body oscillated backward
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and forward, suddenly with a plunge, like the swimmer who
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: leaves the bank. She had across the road, and we
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: heard the clang of our front.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Door bell to growl long enough. Mind took time to
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: to make up her.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Mind and homes Here's Watson. I have seen those symptoms
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: before him. Women olsolation on the pavement generally means and
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: a third you care she would like advice, but is
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: not sure whether the matter is not too delicate for communication.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: She looks a pretttle thing. Perhaps some scoundrels. Juti, oh no, Watson.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: In such a case, the usual symptom is a broken
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: bell wire. Here, I think we may deduce the young
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: lady is not so much angry as grieved or perplexed.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Why not meet her the head of the stairs, old chap.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: I know MISSU Hudson's heumatism is bothering.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Here, so of course I will this way, young lady
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: s all right, thank you, mister Hutson. I'm I'm Dr
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Watson Watson coverl is.
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Doctor Watson.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: This is my friend, mister Sherlock Holmes. How do you do?
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: How do you do? I'm ster Bio Carter, and I
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: need your help, mister Holmes.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Then please be seated, Miss Carter. I presume it is
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: miss since I see no ring on your wedding finger.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: Yes it's miss, though that awful man Jonathan Davis would
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: like to make it missus.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Why quite as a stand any man of quiet? Watson,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: please tell me your problem is Carter?
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Well, I can tell you in two words, gentlemen, Jonathan
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Devis wanted to marry me, and that was bad enough.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: But even if we save the Martie fortunes, I couldn't
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: marry him. Now he wants Harold to leave the company
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: and disappear. And when we think of the abbey and
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: the tenants, what can we do. I know that my
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: brothers did set against outside interference, But tonight is when
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: we play the music, and if only you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Could be there.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: But it's considerably more than two words, this gutter.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid I can't make any two of any and
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: nor can I. Supposing you begin again and talk more slowly, Oh, I.
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Very will, mister Holmes.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Perhaps it will be better if I ask questions. You
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: will mention your brother's title. May I ask what that
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: title is?
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: My brother Harold Carter, the fourteenth Dale of Madri and
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: the poorest. Confidentially, we're in a dreadful way. Financially, Harold
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: invested in Canadian copper last year. The market dropped. Recently
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: we were nearly wiped out. That's when this awful Jonathan
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Devis came on the scene.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And who is Jonathan Devis.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: He's a cousin of ours from South Africa. He's a
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: dreadful bore that.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Extremely wealthy, and he wants to marry.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: Yes, but even to the stake of the abbey and
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: the Mautree fortunes. I couldn't do that. Now he's off
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: at Herald fifty thousand pounds in cash if you'll go
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: abroad and pretend to disappear. You see, Jonathan Devis is
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: next to male kin in line for the inheritance.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: So mister Devers is trying to bribe your brother to
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: disappear so that he may inherit the title.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: In the States.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, mister Holmes, in this particular matter, I fail to
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: see how I can help you all.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: But you can, mister Holmes. You see the first Earl
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: of Moultrie. He was created by Henry bh.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: They're the family motto. It's inscribed in our private catle
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: at the abbey. It says, if the more trees be
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: in need, seek the venerable.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Bead Beedle, some fellow who works in the parish, and
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: b Watson not Beadle, Oh, yes, spelt b.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: E b e.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: The venerable bad if I'm not mistaken, was an eighth
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: century monk who is revered not only as a saint
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: but a first great English historian.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, mister Holmes, we have a statue of him
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: in the chapel, and then we have a pretendly custom at.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I know this may sound to me to you don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: want to, Miss Carter. I'm aware that some.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Of these old crusted supersticions often conceal surprising truths.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: They continual.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Well, it's been passed down in the family that if
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: ever the Molitres were in trouble, they should play a
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: peculy piece of music.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Would he compose it music?
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: What an odd idea, extremely interesting, and you're planning to
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: play the music tonight.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: You'll say yes, mister Holmes.
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Heaven alone knows the Moltrees couldn't be in worse trouble
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: than they are now. And I want you to be there,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: only Harold doesn't. So I thought, if you'd bring your violin,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: I should pretend that you would just come to hear
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: the music.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: An excellent idea, Miss Carter. As I remember Montree Abbeys
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: in Gloucestershire.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, mister Holmes, at Chipping Martin, and especially it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: Paddington at five thirty. Perhaps we could travel together.
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: Certainly, so it seems like a world goost Chairs Holmes
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: eighth century.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: The strange music. There's a lot of mumbo jump on me.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Where's your chival, Watson?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: In any case, surely you recall the single affair of
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: the musgrave ritual. There's no telling what these old family
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: customs may portend, so be a good fellow in tack
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: your bag. There's no time to be lost.
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: I'll just have time to show the chapel before dinner, gentlemen,
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: thank you, Lord Gutter. And after dinner I shall be
• 5:37
  Speaker 8: happy to gratify your musical curiosity in mister home. But
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: you mustn't regard my sister's visit today too seriously. Sybil's
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: an overly emotional girl and quite sankly. I wish that
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: tree hadn't approached you. I feel that Mortree Abby is
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: my duty here. I'll find some way to save it
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: and my tenants.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I trust that the music will live up to its
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: magical reputation.
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: Hell, this is the travel beautiful building. Let's be very
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: old or sixteenth century. The abbey house was built nearly
• 6:10
  Speaker 7: one hundred years later. Hold your lantern a little higher,
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: doctor Watson. That's it now I want to show you
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: our prize possession there you are magnificent, quite magnificent.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: This, I presume is the stantial of the venerable bed
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: that your sister's spoke.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: All.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: Yes, it's an excellent specimen of sixteenth century woodcarding. Note
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: particularly the delicate work on the beads of the rosary.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Odd, very odd. Indeed, what's our home? The faith of thee?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I have to tell you to keep away from me.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: You do this, don't you take you with Tamasha. I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: not doing nothing. And come on, come difference take that? Oh,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: don't you lay your whip laid? Jonathan?
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: What's the matter. I didn't mind that to discharge this
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: room of yours. You can't wait me, mister devils. I'll
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: get blood finish our well. But what's he done, Jonathan?
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: He's been following me, I say.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I bumped into him in the ground not half an
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: hour ago.
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: I was taking a walk by the bottom of.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: The carn and I found him scuffing behind me. Now
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I done between. You have to be here. I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: you want to talk in hell? He was only high today.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I suppose you're right, Wilson.
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: You'll make a collector week's wages and leave in the morning.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, I wasn't doing no harm, just trying to deliver
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: a telegram. That's why I came here. It's one of
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: you'll just mister Sherlock Holmes, I am here, then this
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: telegram come for you. I was only trying to find
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: you when this son of a chat Affia, I'll have
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: your blood. Just see if I don't.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: That's enough erson A girl signs Sally Donovan. So, by
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: the way, this is mister Sherlock Holmes, and start to watch.
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: Mister Donothan Devis, how do you do, mister Devans. Sybil
• 7:51
  Speaker 8: told me that you were.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: Having distinguished company at your musical suare tonight.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Oh you gentlemen, excuse me. We'll see you then, no
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: doubt simple less that per del groom was half it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Says mister Devis mentioned that he was walking by the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Bottomless tarn half an hour ago.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: What may I ask is the bottomless time?
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's a lake on the estate, just behind the
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: game gapers cut. It is a legend that it's fathoms.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: All I know is that some years ago a prize
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: heifer of mine was seen to fall in and drown.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: We dragged the lake, but now grappling hooks we could
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: have didn't touch the bottom interesting homes. The telegram that
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: fellow brought you highs for teograms.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I'll give me the lantern. Watson't thanks an extremely illuminating message.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Read it for yourself, Lord Carter.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Why says nothing but my cousin's name, Jonathan Devils? And
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: yet the message is quite eloquent. It is an answer
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: to a query I made before leaving London. Who forced
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: that market drop in Canadian copper which wiped out the
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: moll tree fortunes. Don't mean that Jonathan deliberately smashed me homes.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: It would seem out here here's a perfect.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Are the Devil's come? It's the title and stop nothing
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: to get it? Holmes? What am I going to do?
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: What the devil am I going to do?
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: We must wait until after dinner and hope that the
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: musical composition may give us a solution.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: To your unhappy problem. Ah.
• 9:38
  Speaker 10: Now the Simples played that rather dull piece of discordancy.
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: I hope you're all satisfied. Naturally, the more tree fortunes
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: will be restored.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Very funny, Jonathan, What do you make of it?
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: Mister Holmes?
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: It's curious, very curious. Will you repeat that principal theme again, please,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: miss Cardam. Yes, of course, thank you, Miss Carter. I
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: think I begin to get a glimmering of the mysterious message.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Sounds like a jumble of meaningless note to know.
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: I'm doctor Watson. Your brilliant friend thinks that he saved
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: them Alti fortunes, and that is herold. I suppose you
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: won't need to see mister Alexander in London tomorrow. Why
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: how did you know that your sitid is is a
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: fan of Star bankruptcy proceedings at the latest tomorrow, I
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: too have my investigators, Harold, I seem a bit more
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: efficient than your great Sherlock Holmes. Good night, sall, good
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: night gentlemen.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: There you are. What are you doing listening at a
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: dog swim? I was just a guide to the kitchen.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Get out the table the way you're belong. I see
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: that groom again, Harold. I'll break his neck. See where
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: he goes tonight?
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: How dare he think you like that? Harold?
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: He's not nassy here, not yet, so I can't hold
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: onto the place much longer and he knows it.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Sorry, unpleasant candle, you ask me.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: Mister Holmes. You said the music gave you some clue
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: to the message.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: It did, Misscutter, but it requires thought and a certain
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: amount of musical experimentation. I doubt if this music room
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: would welcome the consumption of an ounce of two shag tobacco.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I think, therefore, that Watson and I will retire to
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: our own rooms.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: With the aid of a pipe in my violin, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: shall give the matter undivided attentions, and tomorrow, tomorrow own
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Montree Abbey will go into receiverships.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Not while Sherlock Holmes is on the case.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Watson, A man of my peculiar modesty needs
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: your constant reassurance.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Good listen, though, then why not go to sleep, my dear?
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: How can I keep scrapping where the wretched siddles.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Dad, dead, dead, dead lot of rubbish did them? Half
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: the night We'll get you. Oh, I will sleep. When
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: the more trees are in need to seek the venerable Bee,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: this music will solve them all trees problems. You don't
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: we play, mister Dams.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: I'll have your plot for this so well.
• 12:41
  Speaker 10: Too bad that you're the first started back up the
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: proceedings tomorrow.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: You must help us, You must when the more trees
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: need he Oh, I've got it, spots them wake up,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Wake up? What's up? Homes I prop answer Watson, I've.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Solved the musical message before the night, just Drew. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: think we shall find the secret of Moultrie Abbes.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: In just a moment, we will rejoin Sherlock Holmes and
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: discover just what that secret is. Leading hair specialists in
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: this country constantly advises to take better care of the
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: hair we've gots, and men don't forget that. If you
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: want your hair handsome and healthy looking, one of the
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: first requirements is a hygienic scout. And why settle for
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: just any hair dressing when you can enjoy the extra
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: advantages of Kreml hair Toannic. Kreml is a highly specialized
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: hair tonic which gives you your money's worth. It contains
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: a unique combination of hair grooming ingredients which is fine
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: no other hair preparation. It keeps hair attractively groomed at
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: all times, looking so neat and orderly.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: But Crammel does lots more than keep hair looking handsome.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: A Creml massage stimulates circulation right in the surface of
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: your scalp and leaves your scalp feeling so alive and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: invigorated it at the same time, Crammell removes dandriplaced and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: it's excellent to lubricate a dry scalp. And if your
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: hair is so dry that it breaks off and falls
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: when you comb it, Cremwell actually helps condition the hair
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: in that it makes it feel softer and more pliable.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: So men, take better care of the hair.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: You've gust buy a bottle of Cremel at any drug
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: conferts for an application at your barbershop.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Use Crammel daily for better groomed hair.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: For a more hygienic scalp, k R e mL Cremol
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: hair timing well, Doctor Watson, I'm just as confused as
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you must have been when Sherlock Holmes awakened you.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: What was the musical message?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Supposing I tell you the story in its a actual
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: sequet answers to go. I quickly dressed, and, in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: moonlight homes and eyes still thick, crept down the corridor
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: to Lord Carter's room. A few moments later, the three
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: of us, carrying lanterns, started down.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: The staircase leading to the main hall home. If we waited,
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Lord Carter's room. I'm sure it is certain that I
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: saw another door down the corridor half open and then closed.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Which door wanted? The last one on the right, that's
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Jonathan's Ever's room. Well, I suppose he knows that we're
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: up to, which I must confess is more than I do. Well,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: if I'm right, not eating devils can stop it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Now you're being confined to mysterious homes. Will you tell
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: me why we're heading to the chapel at two in
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: the morning. In a few moments, I shall make the
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: reason extremely clear to you, I hope. Well, I here's
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: the door.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Look, look, look, Look whose stained glass.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Windows are there? I swear that someone with a lantern
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: in the grounds outside. Our immediate problem is here inside.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Focus your lantern on the statue of the venerable Bead,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Wasn't That's where the answer to the mortary legend lies.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: I think, for Heaven's sake, Holmes, I wish would be
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: more explicit. Very well, let me see if I can
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: whistle those notes written in the musical scene. The notes
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: are B E D E B E A D. These
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: notes were followed by a rhythmically repeated series of the
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: note D four times. Surely now the pattern becomes clear.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Well, note the E D e obviosist and for b
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: a velnerable bad. And we're standing in front of a
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: statue here now. But the second four notes A, B,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: E A D.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: You yourself pointed out the rosary on the Venerable Beads
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: statue Old Kata. The notes B, E, A, D must
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: refer to the beads of the rosary. That's why I
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: became suspicious on first seeing the statue. The rosary did
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: not come into use till almost five centuries after the
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Venerable bead, yet his statue had one.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: What does a repetition in the note D four times
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: mean after the melody, I.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Think it gives us the vital clue. D is the
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: fourth letter in the alphabet, and it's repeated four times.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: Let's see what happens when we press the fourth bead
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: on the Venerable bead's rosary. So, by George, I think
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: you're on the right track.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: You are. Look at that section of all behind the
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: pont It's said back, come on, let's see what it
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: takes us to. There's a narrow stone staircase leading below.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: But I'll go first homes. Perhaps you have saved the
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Mortreine fortunes after all. I hope so, Lord Carter, I
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: hope so. I watch your head watching on the built
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: the steps of pigments.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Homes. Do you suppose we'll find any hidden treasure down here?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I shall suppose nothing buttson. In a few moments, there
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: will be no need for conjecture. Oh, I'm afraid we've
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: drawn a black what's wrong, Lord Carter? Look for yourself.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Hmm. Deserted crypt with a few cobwebill relics.
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: Yes, a crucifix, a bible, a gutted candlestick on the
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: table here, or they may have some small intrinsic value,
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: but nothing else.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Oh, I was a fool to have any hopes. I
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: was expecting to find buried treasure.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Wait a moment, something, possibly the treasurer has recently been
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: removed from here.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: What makes you say that? Homes?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: The room is thick with dust, and yet there's a
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: large rectangular space free from dust on the table, as
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: though a heavy folio volume had recently been lying there by. Georgia, Right, homes,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: and look here on the floor, fresh footprints. Yes, someone
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: has recently anticipated our discovery.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: It's a very hard to guess who that someone was.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Devils Ah.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Observed these curious marks on the floor by the table,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: four round dusts, rectangularly spaced. I should say that the
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Glanston bag has been placed here, a bag that was
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: undoubtedly used to remove the treasure.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Why homes? Why carry off a heavy book in a bag?
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Supposing that book will priceless Vanue Watson? Suppose it with
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: the air room with the Mautar's family, and its discovery
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: by the rightful owner might stay the estate. Yes, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: I'm sure that Devils is quite capable of stealing it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: The question is, though, what would he do with it?
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Precisely?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: And to answer that question, I shall try and imagine
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: myself in the shoes and mister Devils, I am a millionaire,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: and therefore I don't need the treasure to risk it
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: to tell it anyway, All I want to do is
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: to keep it from the moor trees.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: So I'll destroy it. But how I have the time
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: or the opportunity to burn it?
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Difficult to put a heavy book in any case, So
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: I'm looking for some place to dispose of it where
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: it may never be recovered. Does fathomless lag on this estate.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: That'd be the face the bottomless time to.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Remember the devil tell us earlier that he'd been walking
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: back this evening.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Then let's go there as sash as we can. I
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: can only pray that we're not too late, doctorK.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Look here in the moonlight, he's sound of the devis.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: He's running towards edge in the lake. Yes, and he's
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: getting a gladstone bag, which means that we can run
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: faster than he can. You have your revolval, what's masters
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: I have? Don't hesitate youth it This devil's work must
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: be stopped.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Come on faster, passed out. Oh we'll we'll never catch
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: it is at the end of.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: The top that day, mister devils, you're killing me like
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Robin or I'll shoot.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: High from it and the bottom us town there, good.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Tryer the tighter the mothas you, devil, you'll ruin me.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I'll have the law on you for this. You're a
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: common seat hid and how you'll prove it?
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: Herald.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I was my own judson bag and I dropped in
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: a turn. You don't even know what was inside it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: But here comes the man who can tell us. No,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: it's Wilson, the groom fellow. You discharged, Lord Kada. What
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: are you doing here with?
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: What's that book you're carry I just don't what mister
• 20:49
  Speaker 9: Shellerfurms told me to Sir.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: I was following mister Devis.
• 20:52
  Speaker 9: When he put down the bagger went off to get
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: his Coatopho coming out here, I thought there might be
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: something valuable in this.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Took out this book and I'll fill the bag with
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: a fool. Oh you weren't dabs where you end up
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: in the town. Why are you're along? Let me see
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: the book.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Wilson, here, your governor, thank you, hold the lantern a
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: little high Watson.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: That's it, Ah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: These faded pages are written in Monkish Latin of the
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: eighth century and the hands of the same period. Unless
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: all my researches on the datings of documents of valueabus
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: these may be. They must be the original manuscripts of
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: the venerable Bede himself.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Good lord, and there absolutely priceless and that means that
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: the more trees are saved, and you, mister Devers, will
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: have the privilege of inspecting.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: The interior of an English prison. Rubbish, What charge could
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: you make? Common sat burglary?
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: The proof would depend on the word of a softy
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: room there.
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: And who's going to believe the oath of a certain
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: with a grudge over the word of a fanth Africa millionaire.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I think it's high time that this uh filthy groom
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: disclosed his true identity. All right, mister Holmes, the gentlemen,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: I'm Inspector eth Le Jones of Scotland, girl, and.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: A great credit to the force you've been, my dear,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: as the dud.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: You certainly heard or impersonation of a contry groom was
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: martially quite masterie. And now let's return to the house,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: shall we. And it's nearly three in the morning, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: I think we've had enough excitement for one night. Very
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: satisfactory case, wasn't going to think? As we head back
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: for London. I must contest to a certain glow satisfax.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: The fortunes of the mall trees are restored to the
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: villain foiled and in custody and Scotland we will get
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: the credit. You know that it calls home, so they
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: deserve it. Asana Jones is a very enterprising fellow. Yes,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: what's an an immensely interesting case. You see, mont Abbey
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: was from its name, one of the properties expropriated from
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: the monks by Henry the Eighth, who created the Feldom
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: undoubted the Abbots had hidden the monastery's most valuable To
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: say the bead management.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: That I've post.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: The first girl discovered the hiding place and left the
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: book there as a future.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Security for the more Tree family, exactly leaving the cryptic
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: verse as a clue if the more.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Trees being need seek venerable bead. Yes, sir, I see
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: it all now, you know how to me the whole
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: case was worth it. When I saw that girl's face
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: light up as we told them the good news, I
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: fear that I'm less impressionable old chapter.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: For me, my retrospective pleasure in this case lies in
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: the fact that an irreplaceable treasure has been saved, and
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that a monk who died twelve centuries ago will have
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: been responsible for restoring the fortunes of a final family. Yes, Watson,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: I think that in many ways you might refer to
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: this as an arm of successful case.
