  Speaker 1: Our stories are based upon the character of Sherlock Holmes,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: created by Sir Arthur Colan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is portrayed
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: by John Stanley, Doctor Watson by Alfred Shirley, and the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: dramatizations are by Edith Miser.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Here we are again in doctor Watson's study.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: We find him seated in a large armchair in front
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: of a crackling fire.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Good evening, mister Henry. Good evening, doctor Watson.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Now don't get up.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: You look very comfortable right where you are, and from
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the rightness of your cheeks, i'd say you've had a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: good day off in the country somewhere.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: That's where you are wrong, mister Harrison.
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: I've been doing museums most of the day and it's
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: very tading works, especially with two small boys.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Internally, I should think so. But where did you collect
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the kindergarten, doctor, which was abrasive?
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: Nephews of mine I was helping along with that education
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: in her It's a customer in my families that the
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: uncles must take the nephews museum visiting once here having
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: mender as a boy being dragged from miles of our galleries.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: But doctor weren't you ever taken to the British music.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes, and to Madame Trussell's. But the Tar of
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: London was my favorite. The uncle who took me there
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: was quite a fancier of precious stones. He explained the
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: history of every jewel in the Crown's collection.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: That must have been an education in itself, they say,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: every famous gem, he's a trail of bloodshed and high
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: adventure across the pages of history. And by the way,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: isn't your story tonight about a famous jewel?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, that is what reminded me so strong. You have
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: my boyhood visits to the Tar. The famous Mazarin stone
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: I'm going to tell you about had a history that
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: would make your hair curl him me a little? Did
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: I think when I saw it as a boy that
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: I would ever hold that great yellow beauty?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: In Marin and Fritz Garten?
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Did you, doctor?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Before I tell you that, mister Haris, suppose I give
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: you a few moments to see a few words about
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: our sponsor's most estimable product.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you, doctor Watson. As you put it, sir, it
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is indeed an estimable product. So esteam, may I say
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: that beginning in nineteen forty eight over one thousand leading
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: stories from coast to coast are clipper craft dealers. To
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: be exact, there are ten hundred thirty six such distinguished establishments.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Those leading stores across the country are, of course, the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: key to the amazing values so unique.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: To clipper craft clothes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The ten hundred thirty six leading stores are part of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the famous clipper craft plans. In this plan, their buying
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: power is concentrated to affect tremendous savings in manufacturing and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: distribution costs, savings.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Which are all yours.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: That's why truly fine clipper craft suits are only forty
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and forty five dollars, Why clipper craft top coats and
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: overcoats are only forty dollars, and sport jackets only twenty
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: six fifty clipper Craft values are truly out of this world.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Compare them with clothes selling for many dollars more. And now,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: doctor Watson, let's get back to the story of the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Masterine Stone.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, let me see where was I? Oh?
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Yes, I'd been married some years and had resumed my
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: practice when one snowy winter afternoon one of my calls
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: took me in the neighborhood of Baker street. I couldn't
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: resist the temptation to drop in and find out for
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: myself what my colleague Sherlock.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Holmes was up to. As I stood there in a
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: fall in.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: Snow, waiting for some wont of answer the bell, I
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: danced up at the window of his study, and there
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I saw the thin nose and saturnine features of the
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: great detective. He was apparently deeply engrossed to the book. Basently,
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: the door was opened, and there stood Missus Hudson.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Well, bless my soulid if it isn't the doctor, Good
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: day you, sir, it's a pleasant seeing you again.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: Why missus Hudson, you're looking as beautiful as ever you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You don't change at all.
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: No, I do you, sir? You and your blandy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: How is the great man himself him?
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: He's in bed asleep, I think, But.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I just saw him through the window, So.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: That fool you too, that's not him. What do you mean,
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: just you be going upstairs and find out for yourself.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: I'm not the one to be given secrets away, least
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: of all mister Holme's secret.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: So he's asleep in the middle of the afternoon. Yes, sir,
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: I suppose that means a case.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Yes, sir, he's hard at it now and he's getting
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: thinner and thinner.
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: When will it be pleased to die?
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: And mister Holmes, sir, I'll ask him seven thirty the
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: day after tomorrow.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: He'll say.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: You know his way when he's on a case. I
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: seem to remember he's a hollering someone.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Don't say yes, sir.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: Yesterday he was out dressed like a workman looking for
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: a job.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: Today he was an old woman.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: Fair took me and he did, And Lord knows I
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: ought to be known his ways.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: By now you'll see his old.
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: Woman's umbrella leaning up against the sofa in his study.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Dear mean, and what is this case it's all about?
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't mind telling you, sir, but mind you
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: don't let it go any farther.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Cross my heart, missus Hudson, very well.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: In the case of the crown diamond, what the one
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: hundred thousand pounds Burgary, Yes, sir, and mister Holmes is
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: getting it back for him.
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: Why would you believe it?
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Yesterday we had the Prime Minister and the Home Secretary
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: is sitting on mister holmes sofa, both at the same time.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Why hope it stood up under the stream, and how
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: did the homes behave two such famous persons on the
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: couch him?
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: He was very nice to them and put them right
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: at their ease.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Indyed, yes, sir.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Then there was old Lord cantro Mere. Oh you know
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: what that means.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: He's a stiff.
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: And if I do say so, I can get along
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: with the Prime Minister. And I have nothing against the
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: Home Secretary. He seems an obliging sort of man with
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: a civil tongue in his head. But I can't abide
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: his lordship poor fellow, yes, sir, and other can mister Holmes.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: You see, you don't believe in mister Holmes, and he's
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: against employing him.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: He'd rather he failed.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Does Holmes know that?
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: Do you think mister Holmes knows whatever there is to know?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Absolutely? But I say perhaps I had better not wake any.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I wish you would, sir.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: He has not had a bite to eat since yesterday noons,
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: and then only a sandwich with a glass of milk.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: And I don't dare speak to him about it. You
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: know what he's like, sir, when he's busy on a case.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Well, suppose I grew up and beard the lion in
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: his den. Heh Holmes, I say, Holmes, are you awake?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: He must be asleep.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: Well I'll go in anyway, Oh say, old place and
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: the same old litter, scientific charts, chemicals, violin pipes, papers,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: all indigally. There's the old boy himself snoozing in the
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: armchair in front of the window.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I thought I saw him from the street. I could
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: just go over and tweak in the air. What's can
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: come away from that window? What good gracious homes you
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: gave me a.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Start away from that window? If you value your life, well,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they've well very well. But I say, hose, this is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: all very confusing here.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: I see you sitting in your armchair and suddenly you
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: pop out of me from your bedroom door.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Since when have.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You been twins? Yes, it is rather a startling like
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: missus ni likeness. Yes, it's a wax image of me.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I'm expecting to get a bullet through the beautiful head
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: at any moment. Would you mind drawing the blinds without
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: exposing yourself?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: All right, it's bet n Now I can come into
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the room. Yes, But why all this hocus pocus.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I'm being watched from a window across the street by
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a gentleman with an unpleasantly efficient air gun. Yes, Watson,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you come at a critical moment. Yes, sir, I gather
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: how far am I justified in allowing you to share
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this danger with me?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I wonder danger? What kind of danger?
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Sudden death?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I'm expecting something this evening, expecting what to be murdered?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Watson? Or what you got joking?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Even my limited sense of humor could produce a better
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: joke than that. Perhaps you'd better go whither still time,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: my dear Holmes.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: You couldn't get me out of here now at the
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: point of a revolver.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Good, But sit down, sit down, may as well be
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: comfortable in the meantime, I'm aout a.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Pipe and a glass of brandy. They have to take
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the place of food these days, but why not eat?
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: The faculty has become refined when you starve the rubbish.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: What your digestion gains in the way of blood supply
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: is so much lost to the brain present. I'm all brain,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: But this danger, Holmes, his name is Sylvius.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: That are write down?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Count Negretto Sylvius one three six more side gardens northwest.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: We've got it, yes, good, you can give it to
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Scotland yard with my love and a parting blessing in
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: case the murderer is successful.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Look here, Holmes, I'm in all this. I had nothing
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to do for a day or two.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Your models don't improve, Watson. Now you've added fipping to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: your other vices. You bear every sign of the busy
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: medical man.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Oh to blaze it with that? I say, can't you
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: have this fellow arrested? Yes? I can. That's why he's
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: determined to kill me. Well, then why don't you?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Because I don't know where he's hidden the confounded diamond.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, Missus Hudson told me the missing crown jewel.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I've cast my neck, Watson, and got my fish. What's
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the use of catching them? With the jewels slipped through
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: my fingers?
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: And is this Count Sylvia's one of your so called fish.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's the shark. The other is Sam Merton, the boxer.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He's the Count's tool. Sam's not a shark, he's a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: great bullheaded gudgelan. Come in, come in, ah, Missus Hudson,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: What is it a gentleman downstairs?
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: See, he says, here's his card, the.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Gretto sil Well, well, so the old shark is grasping
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the metal.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Eh Er, that metaphor is a trifle mixed terms.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Show him up, missus Hudson when I ring if I'm
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: not in the room, Show him up, all the same
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: man of nerve Putson. Possibly you've heard of his reputation
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: as a big game hunter. What a triumphant ending to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: his sporting record. If he succeeds in adding me to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: his bag, this is proof that he feels my breath
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: uncomfortably hot on his neck.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Look here, why not send for the police? Not yet?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Not quite yet the ticket. Glance out of the window, Watson,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to see if anyone's hanging about.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, there's one rough looking fellow near the door. That
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: will be Sam.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: They fool bit fatuous, I say, look here, Hose, this
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: is serious. I insist I'm staying with you, but you'll
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: be in the way, in his way. No, in mind,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: Well I'm not going to budge, and well we'll compromise.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: You shall stay in the bedroom within call in case
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: I need you.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, but home along.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It's essential that this room be empty when the Count
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: enters it. He's come for his own purpose, but he
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: may stay for mine. Hurry, I think I hear his
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: step on the stairs.
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: Oh he's not in here. Sift your step in. I'm
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: sure you'll be back in a moment.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Many thanks, and certainly.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So.
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: This is his damn n his bottles and his papers
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: and all the rest of his hocus pocus. Softly, Sylvia, softly,
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: there's the old vulture himself asleep.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: In his chair.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: But lucky so he one tap from my gold headed cane.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Don't it? Can't brig it?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Holmes, you'll quite I trust you were expecting someone else.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I see you've been admiring my wax figure. Pretty little thing,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Tardanie made it. He's almost as good at
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: waxworks as your friend Straban's a Is it?
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Air guns?
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Air guns?
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? First?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Put your hat and stick on the side table. Thank you, Now, pray,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: take a seat. That's you'd like to put your a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Farvard on the table too, erm no, you prefer to
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: sit on Well, this visit is most opportune. I want
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a few minutes chat with you. Good, I too, wish
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: to have some words with you. May I ask why
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: all these personal attentions?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Because you annoy me.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: You have put your creatures on my tracks, my creatures,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I assure you no nonsense.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Have them followed.
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: Two can played that game, my friend. Yesterday there was
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: a sporting old gentleman. To day it was an elderly woman, you.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Flatter, may Count Old Baron Dawson said the night before
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: he was hanged. But in my case, what the law
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: had gained, the stage had lost, And now you praised
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: my impersonations.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Dear me, it was you, you yourself. Quite there's the old.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Lady's umbrella you were gracious enough to hand back to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: me when we collided in the mineries this morning.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: If I don'ly know, I would never have seen this
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: humble home again.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Eh.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, well, we all have our neglected opportunities. You admit
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you have dubbed me why you used to shoot lions
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: in Algeria?
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: But why why the spot, the excitement, the danger, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: no doubt, to free the country from the pest.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Exactly?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Well, those are my reasons in the nutshell you did.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I'll show your sit down, sit down at once, and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: take your hand from your hippocket. Better, there's another more
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: practical reason I want that diamond. Fancy that your reason
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: in coming here is to find out how much I know?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: So you may judge how far my removal is necessary? Well,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: as you say, from your point of view, it's quite essential.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: In short, there's only one thing I do not know.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: And what is the missing fact?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: If I may inquire, where is the crown diamond hidden?
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Dear me?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: So that's it.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Suppose I don't know, You.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Can't bluff me, you'll yes, your absolutely plate class I
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: can see at the very back of your mind.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Really well, then of course you see where the diamond is.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: You know then you admitted it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: I have nothing more.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Come, come be reasonable. If not, your get hurt.
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: And you talk to me about love. You see the
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: notebook suredly you know what I keep in it. No,
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: I don't pretend to be a mind reader. This book
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: is you me, yes, you, every move of.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Your fifteen dangerous life. The no homes, there are limits
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: to my patients. Sits here, all of it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: The real facts in the death of missus Harold left
• 14:14

  Speaker 1: right about the others. Now they come, you're a card
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: player and the other fellow has all the trumps. Time
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to throw in your hands?

  Speaker 3: Give it up, and as far as we are concerned,

  Speaker 3: you are free if you.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Behave yourself in the future.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: My commission is to get the stone, not you, and
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: if I refuse, then it will be you and not
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the stone. I think it might be as well to
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: have your friend Sam at this conference. He's waiting outside
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in the street because you tap on the window and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: motion him to come up.

  Speaker 2: Oh, missus hudsonill let to let him in. She's quite

• 16:08
  Speaker 1: you time to draw mighty things revolvers.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Let us stick to air guns.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: But listen that the fairy footstep of your friend mister Murton,

  Speaker 2: Sam?

  Speaker 2: Be funny?
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I'm loving a funny moode myself.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: No, I expect not, and I can promise you that

  Speaker 1: you'll feel even less humorous if the evening progresses. Now
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: a kiss syl Yes, I can't waste time. I'm going
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: to that bedroom. I shall play on my violin for
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: five minutes. At the end of that time, I shall
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: return to your decision.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Do we take you, whether we get.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: The stone.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Now, whether I put my violin. I have said this
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: five minutes.
• 16:56

• 17:35
  Speaker 1: how marvelously it stands up to hardware, how very comfortable
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you feel in it. The long wear comes from fine
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: materials and precision workmanship. Your comfort comes from excellent fit
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: resulting from skilled designing. What will amaze you is how
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: so much is possible for so very little. Remember, clipper
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Craft suits are only forty and forty five dollars, clipper
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Craft top coats and overcoats are only forty dollars, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: sport jackets only twenty six fifty. These are modest prices, indeed,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: for clothes obviously worth much more. The Great Clippercraft Plan,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: concentrating the buying power of ten hundred and thirty six
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: leading stores across the nation, makes these remarkable values possible
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: in your own local independent store. The store you can
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: trust selling expensive clothes at inexpensive low prices at the

  Speaker 1: Ah, but here are friends from stuff from yard. Take

  Speaker 1: the gramophone.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Let you play car at more? And that's it all right? Watson?
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Even stop that machine? Hi, I say, Holmes, I've lost

  Speaker 2: at least five pounds in the last half hour. Did

  Speaker 2: this way it's the crown Gamon.

  Speaker 4: Hello, what's up?

  Speaker 2: do you ever let us alone? Well?

  Speaker 3: Show him up?
• 22:56
  Speaker 10: Then I must say home, you have most mannerly people
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: in your household. I ran into a group of raffians
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: as I was coming to the door.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, that must have been the fellows from Scotland Yard.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: It's a rather warm in here. May I take your
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: overcoat right Fiveecouncil. Oh the more, I have no intention
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of staying. Doctor Watson will assure you that these sudden
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: changes of temperature are most insidious. Sh your hands off
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: my coat. I intend to keep it on very well.
• 23:21
  Speaker 10: I came to see how your self appointed task is
• 23:25
  Speaker 10: getting on.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: It's difficult, very difficult.
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: Yes, I suspect that you would find it so. Every
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: man has his limitation.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, I've been greatly perplexed, no doubt, especially on one point.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: But perhaps you can help me.
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: You' apply from my advice rather late in the day. Still,
• 23:41
  Speaker 10: I'm ready to give you the benefit of my opinions.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: You understand, we can doubtless frame a case against the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: actual thief once you have caught quite But the real
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: question is how shall we proceed against the receiver. What
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: would you regard as the final evidence against the receiver
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the actual possession of the stone. Of course, you would
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: arrest him on that, I said. In that case, my
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: dear lord Cantelba, I shall be under the painful necessity
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: of advising your arrest. For Get yourself, mister Holmes.
• 24:09
  Speaker 10: I have no time, as it's childish jokes, I may
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: tell you frankly, sir that I have never had any
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: believe in your powers, good evening one moment.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Actually to make off with the Mazarin stone would be
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: even more serious to be found in temporary possession of it.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: It is intolerable. Let me pass immediately.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Just put your hand in the right hand pocket of
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: your overcoat.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Do as I ask?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I, however, see what's this? Seems to be the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Mazarin stone. For shame, sir, for shame, well, bless my
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: soul hoven thunder well, I'll be undoubtedly.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: However, I really must apologize. I never could resist dramatic situation.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I took the liberty of slipping the stone into your
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: pocket and beginning of our interview very well to say,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I am bewil That is putting it mildly.
• 24:55
  Speaker 10: We are greatly indebted to you, sir, in spite of
• 24:58
  Speaker 10: your somewhat pervertive sense of humor, and I certainly withdraw
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: any reflection I may have made on your amazing professional part.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: How the dooe the details can wait. I trust your
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: pleasure in relaying youth of our success will be some
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: small atonement for my practical job.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Oh yes it will, sir.
• 25:16
  Speaker 10: It will Indeed, I can hardly wait to get the
• 25:19
  Speaker 10: good word around A good day, mister Holmes.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Good day, Lord Cantlebyon Watson, will you show his launch
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: him out with pleasure and tell missus Hudson I should
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: be obliged if you'd send up dinner for two as
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: soon as possible. What an extraordinary story, doctor Watson, and
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: what a perfect climax.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, mister Holmes always had an eye for the dramatic,
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: which reminds me next week's story.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Did you say that next week's story is going to
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: be particularly dramatic?
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Doctor?
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: I didn't say it, mister Harris, because you into thatting me,
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: but I was going to.

• 26:05
  Speaker 5: year old racehorse Blazing Star suddenly dropped dead of old age,
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: and how my youthful pass in the game of rugby
