Sherlock Holmes Radio The Very Best Butter Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Con · Meine Liebe zu Hörspielen

0:01
Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson back to the lady who was
0:03
so interested in buttery.
0:05
Speaker 2: Yes, it occurred while I was sharing lodgings with homes
0:07
at two twenty.
0:08
Speaker 1: One b Baker Street understension? Was ever really such an
0:12
address as two twenty one B Baker's Try?
0:14
Speaker 2: Oh, this modern generation nothing but doubting Thomas's you know,
0:18
would you believe it? There are people who go so
0:20
far as to suspect that Charlotte Holmes is nothing but
0:22
a figment.
0:23
Speaker 3: Of my imagination.
0:24
Speaker 4: By sacrilege, doctor, It's worse than that.
0:27
Speaker 2: So to silence all skeptics once and for all, I'd
0:29
like to read a small item from that guide book
0:32
to end all guide books, the well known Bedakers right
0:36
here on the first show somewhere Yes, Paris roam.
0:41
Speaker 3: Here we are Bedecker's London and the.
0:43
Speaker 1: Environs on Toby Baker Street is actually mentioned in bedicare
0:46
Oh it is indeed?
0:47
Speaker 3: Yes, I have the page mark.
0:49
Speaker 2: Yes, just Melbourne Road, Queen Charlotte's Maternity Hospital. And I asked,
0:53
not it Baker Street station? Yes, here we are Baker Street,
0:57
chief thoroughfare between Oxford Street and Merlburne Road. Missus students
1:01
lived from eighteen seventeen till her death in eighteen thirty
1:04
one at number twenty seven Upper Baker Street House demolished tablet.
1:09
Lord Lytton, the novelist, was born at number sixty eight
1:11
in eighteen hundred and three tablet, and William Pitt lived
1:15
in eighteen hundred and two h four at number one
1:17
hundred and twenty Tablet.
1:19
Speaker 3: Sherlock Holmes also had rooms there.
1:21
Speaker 4: Don't tell me there's no tablet at two twenty one
1:23
b doctor.
1:24
Speaker 2: Although not yet give us time. After all, Holmes is
1:27
still mortal. Tablets are for the immortals, mister.
1:30
Speaker 1: Harris Well, that certainly should settle any doubts about mister
1:32
Sherlock holmes reality once and for all.
1:34
Speaker 2: I certainly hope so well as I was saying it
1:37
was in the good old Baker Street days, it was
1:40
rather lateship a gloomy afternoon. I remained indoors all day,
1:44
for the weather had taken a sudden turn to rain,
1:46
and my practice wasn't too thriving at the moment. With
1:49
my body in one easy chair, my legs upon another,
1:52
I listened with growing irritation to Holmes as he practiced
1:56
interminable scales, rough lards, cassandos and what have you on
2:00
his violin. At last, the particularly screeching dissonance was more
2:04
than my frazzle nerves could bear, Holmes, must you do that?
2:10
Speaker 5: Calm yourself, Maria Watson, I was not responsible for that
2:13
last bit of cacophony is caused by the scraping of
2:16
a carriage wheel against our curb. Yes, we are about
2:19
to receive a client, a rather portly lady of means.
2:22
Speaker 4: Unless I'm very much mistaken.
2:23
Speaker 2: Or how can you possibly tell you haven't even bothered
2:26
to look out of the window.
2:27
Speaker 5: The outraged creak of the carriage springs as its passenger
2:30
descended to the pavement indicates a person of substance. The
2:33
tap of French heels on the pavement indicates the person's
2:35
a lady, And the fact that the vehicle remained at
2:38
the curb indicates that it's either a private carriage or
2:41
a public conveyance that's been told to wait. Either eventuality
2:44
indicates a person of means.
2:46
Speaker 2: I swear I heard nothing except the first scrape against
2:48
the curb.
2:49
Speaker 5: I must say, Homes, you have ears like a hawk,
2:52
Your metaphors a trifle mixed Maria Watson, But I accept
2:54
your tribute.
2:56
Speaker 6: Come in, mister Holmes, Mister Holmes, mister.
2:59
Speaker 4: S naturally this is my friend and colleague, doctor Watson.
3:03
Speaker 3: Or how do you do?
3:04
Speaker 7: Thank Heavens you're at home. You was dying with me tonight,
3:06
both of you. I may need a doctor as well
3:09
as a detective.
3:10
Speaker 4: Interesting, I mean, what brings you to that rather startling conclusion?
3:13
Speaker 7: I am in grave danger and you are the only
3:16
person who can save me.
3:17
Speaker 6: How madam, my husband wishes to be rid of me.
3:21
Speaker 7: I am being poisoned systematically, cold bloodedly poisoned. That is,
3:26
I was until I had an old nurse of mine
3:28
to do the cooking and refuse to eat anything that
3:30
wasn't served to everybody in the house on a common
3:33
plate path or.
3:34
Speaker 2: Turine, so that it poisoned me at preasant, all members
3:36
of your household would be in equal danger.
3:38
Speaker 6: Exactly, I'm no fool.
3:40
Speaker 4: How many members of your household are the missus?
3:43
Speaker 7: I am, Madame de Pavan. My husband is Pubist A Pavan,
3:47
the famous violinist.
3:48
Speaker 5: Oh yes, I've heard him in concept remarkable technique. They
3:51
tell me his chills compare favorably with Paganini.
3:53
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, Pubis is a great violinist.
3:56
Speaker 7: If you've heard him play, you have doubtless also seen
3:58
my daughter, who plays accompaniments.
4:01
Speaker 6: My husband, my daughter to raise, and myself. There are
4:05
only three of us in the household. We are, I
4:07
may say, the eternal triangle. Pewis is infatuated with ter raise.
4:12
Speaker 5: Well, really, your daughter, I gather, Madame de Pavanne is
4:16
the child of a previous marriage.
4:18
Speaker 7: Yes, and no, as a matter of fact, is my
4:20
stepdaughter the child of my first husband by his first marriage?
4:24
Speaker 4: Rather a complicated me, Naje Watson cried, I.
4:27
Speaker 6: Was a fool to marry a man so much younger
4:29
than myself.
4:30
Speaker 7: But Pubis was well Ardn't you know what these latins are?
4:34
Mister Holmes Hm swept me right off my fete.
4:37
Speaker 6: Would you believe it?
4:37
Speaker 3: He refused to eat or sleep.
4:39
Speaker 6: Until I named the day.
4:41
Speaker 7: It all happened in the south of France, that land
4:44
of langborn Romance.
4:45
Speaker 3: Oh, I see it all.
4:47
Speaker 2: The courtship, the honeymoon returned home, the meeting with the
4:50
daughter of their household, the inevitable call of youth.
4:53
Speaker 6: To youth, Pewwis, isn't that, young, doctor Watson? I'm not
4:56
a cradle snatcher.
4:57
Speaker 7: And besides, he'd known to raise long before I I
5:00
met him. She accompanied him on a concert tour. Much
5:03
against my better judgment, I will say, I sometimes think
5:07
their romance may have blossomed even then.
5:09
Speaker 2: Yes, But in that case, why did Monsieur de Pavan
5:11
marry you or not your stepdaughter?
5:13
Speaker 7: Because doctor Watson, I happen to be the one who
5:16
has the money.
5:18
Speaker 4: These realistic frenchmen.
5:20
Speaker 5: Hey, Watson, tell me, Madame to Bacte Paffan, When did
5:23
you first suspect you were being poisoned?
5:25
Speaker 7: About a month ago, I began to have a marked
5:27
distress after every meal.
5:29
Speaker 2: You don't think it could have been a flatulence brought
5:32
on perhaps by overeating?
5:34
Speaker 6: Certainly not.
5:35
Speaker 7: I have an extraordinarily good digestion, plus an excellent appetite.
5:39
Speaker 4: Obviously, I will say.
5:42
Speaker 6: People described to persuade me to eat less of the
5:44
faddening foods.
5:45
Speaker 7: But I tell him that here in England men appreciate
5:48
fine figura wool.
5:49
Speaker 6: No, mister Holmes, I know.
5:51
Speaker 7: The difference between flatulus and the definite and even painful
5:55
burning sensation in the pit of my stomach, and.
5:58
Speaker 6: I can guess what causes it. When I see that.
6:01
Speaker 7: The weed killer I keep for the garden is disappearing
6:04
in the middle of the winter.
6:05
Speaker 3: Weed killer. But that's full of arsenic.
6:08
Speaker 4: I know that, no fool.
6:10
Speaker 6: That's why I sent Pananni three weeks ago to do
6:12
the cooking.
6:13
Speaker 5: What a pity you didn't come to me instead. I
6:15
should have enjoyed making the ranch test on the contents
6:17
of your stomach. Now, of course, after three weeks it
6:20
would be very difficult to prove the presence of arsenic
6:22
in your system short of an autopsy.
6:24
Speaker 4: Of course.
6:25
Speaker 6: Well, I'm not giving anyone a chance for that, not
6:27
if I can help it.
6:28
Speaker 5: I ticket you've had no further distress since your nurse
6:31
was brought in to.
6:32
Speaker 4: Do the cooking.
6:32
Speaker 6: No, no, that I haven't.
6:34
Speaker 4: Then why do you come to me at this late date?
6:35
Speaker 7: Because I think Pubis is getting set for another try.
6:39
He leaves to night for a concert tour of the continent.
6:42
I have forbidden to raise to accompany him. But just
6:44
half an hour ago I heard them plotting together. I
6:47
was counting the silver in the butler's templey when I
6:50
heard them come into the dining room.
6:53
Speaker 6: I didn't know that I was listening.
6:58
Speaker 4: I don't care what she says.
6:59
Speaker 3: I can. I won't go without.
7:00
Speaker 8: Your But you'll have two pubs. You have a week
7:03
before your first concent you'll be able to find another
7:05
accompanist in Paris.
7:06
Speaker 9: I don't want another accompanist, Terrace. I want you. You
7:09
know I can't do anything. If you want with me, you've.
7:11
Speaker 4: Got to come with me.
7:13
Speaker 9: Sneak out of the house when she's not looking.
7:15
Speaker 8: But I can't do that. Pubis dear. She'll disown me.
7:18
I'll be disinherited. We both start.
7:20
Speaker 9: I can't count a woman if she only went so
7:22
big headed and so rich.
7:24
Speaker 8: I tried to persuade her puvers, but she won't listen.
7:27
Speaker 9: She won't listen to words, perps, other ways of persuading people. Terrace,
7:32
promise me that if anything should happen, you will come
7:35
to me by the next.
7:36
Speaker 8: Book, of course, But what could happen?
7:41
Speaker 9: I have a plan and need little time, and it
7:44
shouldn't take too long to work out.
7:52
Speaker 5: Hmm, rather ambiguous conversation, If you'll permit me to say so,
7:55
Madame de Paban, what makes you so sure your husband
7:58
will try to poison you at dinner tonight?
8:00
Speaker 6: First, because it's his last meal, at home.
8:02
Speaker 7: The boat train leaves a nine thirty and second because
8:06
I found this bottle in the waste paper basket in
8:08
his study.
8:10
Speaker 5: Hmm, a pharmacist bottle with a label partly torn off.
8:14
The letters P O I S still visible p.
8:17
Speaker 3: O I S. Holmes, if you add O N, that
8:20
spells poison.
8:21
Speaker 5: Brilliant by dear Watson, positively scintillating. There seems to be
8:25
a small bit of white crystalline powder still left at
8:28
the bottom of the bottle. But you make up it, Watson.
8:31
Speaker 2: Well, from the look of the smell, it might be
8:35
of some salts, Holmes, what are.
8:36
Speaker 5: You doing tasting it? What just the slightest suspicion of
8:40
a taste, Watson, Yes, it's slightly acrid and metallic. That
8:44
too might be eb some salts want to try it?
8:47
Speaker 3: Watson, No, no, no thanks.
8:48
Speaker 2: I'm not interested in tasting anything that comes in a
8:50
bottle of poison.
8:52
Speaker 5: Perhaps you're right, Yes, I think perhaps we should try
8:55
some more extensive tests before we make up our minds
8:58
about the contents of this bottle.
8:59
Speaker 6: Madam, I don't care what you do, but don't belate
9:02
to dinner. We die on at seven thirty. The dress
9:04
is caught in Iroe Rathbone place. You enter from Oxford Street.
9:08
It's close to Tottenham Corp Road.
9:09
Speaker 4: We shall be there, Madam on the dot.
9:24
Speaker 2: Well, here we are Homes Rathbomb placed. The name sounds
9:28
vaguely familiar. Yes, you may have heard me mention it.
9:31
Speaker 4: Watson. The street is named after a distant connection of mine.
9:35
Speaker 3: Has just what did you find in the bottom of
9:37
that bottle?
9:37
Speaker 4: Homes antimony?
9:39
Speaker 3: Antimony, But that's deadly poison.
9:41
Speaker 5: Quite It's also a constituent of many crack pills. Monsieur
9:44
Paffan may be dursing himself or anything from blood pressure
9:47
to hangnails.
9:48
Speaker 2: Just the same, it doesn't improve my appetite. You know,
9:50
we're dining at a house where there's poison about what
9:53
if you guess in the wrong person's.
9:54
Speaker 4: Soup, Perhaps we should have brought your stomach pump.
9:57
Speaker 2: Don't be in delicate homes. Personally, I should follow that
10:00
and the Pavan's example, and it ordering nothing that doesn't
10:02
come from a community dish.
10:03
Speaker 5: Very sensible, Watson, very sensible. Indeed, yes here we are
10:08
number forty nine. You can beella pull Watson is a
10:11
good champ.
10:11
Speaker 2: Right, h I must say there's nothing particularly sinister looking
10:15
about the house, hey, Holmes, nice cheerful, little ruffel curtains.
10:20
Speaker 5: Yes, the poisoners have been known to live in the
10:22
most innoxious surroundings, as.
10:24
Speaker 2: I do wish you to frame from indulging your supultral
10:27
sense of humor.
10:28
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I am, that is if Madame de Pavan
10:31
lives here.
10:32
Speaker 4: I believe we unt expected.
10:33
Speaker 9: Ah, but this is a great honor.
10:34
Speaker 4: Come in, gentlemen, Come in.
10:36
Speaker 9: Who will believe me when I say I have the
10:38
honor of entertaining the world's master detective and his amid
10:41
the good doctor.
10:43
Speaker 4: Then you you recognize us naturally? Who does not know
10:46
the great Sherlock Court.
10:47
Speaker 9: Besides, my wife has taken great trouble to impress upon
10:50
me just who it is she has invited to dinner.
10:52
Speaker 3: That's certainly forth right off her, he Holmes.
10:55
Speaker 9: Madame is at right person. She says what she thinks,
10:58
even when she changes her mind. But will you not
11:00
step into the parlor. We shall have a glass of sherry.
11:03
Madame and her charming daughter will be down.
11:06
Speaker 3: We thank you. But you know, I don't know to
11:08
think that that is not before dinner.
11:10
Speaker 9: I mean it might take away my appetize, can doctor Watson?
11:14
Speaker 4: It is such excellent sherry.
11:16
Speaker 9: Here I pour from the decanter for you, well, the
11:21
great mister Sherlock Holmes, and for myself.
11:26
Speaker 3: Oh well, well in that case someday, monsieur.
11:30
Speaker 9: Your continued good health.
11:33
Speaker 4: But what do you wait for?
11:35
Speaker 10: Her?
11:35
Speaker 9: Buttons up as they say, I see you wished to
11:40
see if I drink first?
11:41
Speaker 4: Very well, so you see it is quite timeless.
11:46
Speaker 3: That's relief. May I say?
11:48
Speaker 9: It is no secret to me why you are here.
11:51
My poor wife thinks she's being poisoned and she suspects me.
11:56
Speaker 3: Well, that's best, frank of you.
11:57
Speaker 9: I must say, why not be frank, monsieur doctor, I
12:00
have nothing to do. Hey, you are a medical man. You
12:03
must realize that many women, particularly if they are well
12:06
bred and shall we say a bit I stomp, when
12:08
they come to a certain age, they develop curious ideas.
12:12
You do not know how quickly Madame Pava recovers from
12:15
her little ecthentricities.
12:17
Speaker 3: You know how these things are, doctor Watson? No, yes, yes,
12:20
I must say. If the lady is suffering from a well,
12:22
need to fix your very worse, to go away and
12:24
give it a chance. To blow over.
12:26
Speaker 4: You are planning to go alone with Sueur Pavan, But
12:29
of course, or about an accompanist, Oh you mean there is?
12:32
Speaker 9: I think at this time it is best she stay
12:34
with him. After all, I do not want to leave
12:37
her entirely alone. She might develop am ancolia.
12:40
Speaker 5: Very understanding of you, Monsieur pav But I am a
12:43
man of the world.
12:44
Speaker 9: I have traveled you see, I know many women. I
12:49
understand them better perhaps than you were Englishmen.
12:52
Speaker 4: Perhaps.
12:54
Speaker 9: And now, if you an excuse a moment, I must say,
12:56
if Madame needs my assistance, her maid is not very strong,
12:59
and since Madame has put on a few palms, she.
13:02
Speaker 4: Needs a man to what you call hooper up the back.
13:06
Speaker 9: At least do pull yourself more sharing my head now
13:08
that you know it to say how far is he?
13:12
Speaker 4: Will Watson, what do you make of our friend the violinist?
13:16
Speaker 2: You know, Holmes a Hu may be perfectly right. Madame
13:19
de Pravan may be suffering from a slight form of
13:21
female hysteria.
13:23
Speaker 5: Then in that case, why has he booked two passages
13:26
to front? See here the ticket sticking out from beneath
13:29
this platter. One is for tonight, the other is for
13:34
a week from now, So Sherlock Holmes didn't think. But
13:49
Sir Purvar was as innocent as he pretended to be.
13:51
Speaker 2: Doctor Now, mister Harris, don't ask me what Holmes thought.
13:55
No one ever knew that, not even I until afterwards. Well,
13:59
pretty soon the maiden.
14:02
Speaker 8: The sherry flips you order Dr Watson for you, and mister.
14:05
Speaker 3: Eddo ooh, yes, thank you kidding right on't you?
14:08
Speaker 4: Well? Doctor Watson? This is what I call hospitality.
14:10
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought he might take a breather and drink
14:13
a toast to our sponsor's continued success.
14:16
Speaker 1: Bright oh fine. Local independence stores in every community report
14:22
increasing demand for clipper craft, so every day, even more
14:26
millions of men are becoming acquainted with unrivaled clipper craft values.
14:30
These values are the result of the Clippercraft Plan, which
14:33
is just about the best possible example of the true
14:36
American way in production. The famous Clippercraft Plan concentrates the
14:40
buying power of ten hundred and thirty six of the
14:43
nation's finest stores from coast to coast. Perfectly Amazing economies result.
14:48
And here's the answer. You can secure truly fine clipper
14:52

14:55
dollars and superb top coats and fine coverts and worsted
14:59
Gabardine only forty and forty five dollars, sport jackets for
15:03
only twenty six fifty and tropicals at thirty three, seventy
15:07
five to forty dollars. See these remarkable values tomorrow. Yes,
15:11
selling expensive clothes at inexpensive low prices at the nation's
15:16
finest stores is the great, big idea behind the clipper
15:19
Craft plan. That's why men who know insist on Clippercraft clothes.

16:00
Speaker 2: Well, now that we've had our pause for refreshment. Suppose
16:03
we returned to our story fair enough, doctor, as I
16:06
was saying, pretty soon, the Pavan's little parlor maid announced dinner.
16:09
Holmes and I repaired to the dining room, where we
16:11
found Madame de Pavan and her step daughter, a rather
16:15
toothy female, already seated at either end of the table.
16:18
Monsieur Pavan stood in back of his chair at the
16:21
far side. Madame, who was ladling soup out of a
16:25
large turene, her napkin tucked well over her bodice, turned
16:29
and pointed imperiously to the two empty chairs at the
16:32
near side.
16:36
Speaker 7: You sit here, mister Holmes, next to me, Doctor Wartson,
16:38
you sat.
16:39
Speaker 3: There next to the race so delighted. I'm sure.
16:44
Speaker 6: I'm afraid this soup isn't a stick as it should be.
16:47
Speaker 7: Old Nanny isn't the best book in the world, but
16:49
at least I know that it won't give me a
16:51
stomach ache.
16:53
Speaker 4: You have had a delightful interview, maor soup of the evening,
16:56
beautiful soup.
16:57
Speaker 9: You know the songs from Alison owner Land, Mister Holmes,
17:00
I have been so charmingly said to music by Liza Lehman.
17:03
Speaker 10: Never mind Alice.
17:03
Speaker 7: In Wonderland pubs, and may pour off the carrot, my dear, No,
17:08
not from that bottle, the one that's not been opened,
17:12
with a cock still sealed.
17:13
Speaker 9: Perhaps doctor Watson will do the honors. He looks like
17:16
a person who could handle a bottle. I confess, quite peelly,
17:20
that I have never been able to master that little
17:22
object to call the cox who.
17:24
Speaker 2: Of course, sir, if you like here it is ah
17:27
a magnificent vintage Madame.
17:29
Speaker 7: My father laid down quite a respectable cellar before he died.
17:32
Speaker 4: Provoo.
17:34
Speaker 9: And now to ad further to the festivity of this occasion,
17:38
I have a special surprise for my.
17:40
Speaker 4: Dear little wife. Oh what's that butter?
17:44
Speaker 9: You may not know what, mister Holmes, but ordinarily I
17:46
do not approve of butter on the dinner table.
17:49
Speaker 4: Bread I believe should be eaten.
17:50
Speaker 9: In the continental fashion, which of the pinch of salt.
17:53
My wife, however, bless her dear little heart, has a
17:56
weakness for butter, even though it is forbidden by the doctor.
18:00
Over tonight, being my last meal at home, and to
18:03
honor to such distinguished guests I were, I myself went
18:07
out and bought a roll of butter, and here it
18:10
is in a beautiful silver butter dish.
18:15
Speaker 6: Oh that's pretty, but I really don't think.
18:19
Speaker 9: Come, come, my dear, there is no possible danger. It
18:21
is all in one piece. You can cut off your
18:23
portion for yourself and we will all follow suit.
18:26
Speaker 10: Does look so good, I assure you, my dear.
18:29
Speaker 4: It's the very best butter.
18:32
Speaker 9: That too is from Alice in Wonderland as the home.
18:34
Speaker 4: Oh yes, that the tea party. Another shall we say,
18:37
unusual meal? Delightful, delightful.
18:40
Speaker 9: Allow me, my dear, I'll cut you a piece of
18:42
butter from.
18:43
Speaker 7: Descend No, thank you, I'll do it myself from the
18:47
other end.
18:48
Speaker 4: As you please.
18:49
Speaker 9: And now for our guests one two pieces, and another
18:55
piece for little Terrey, who is almost as fan of
18:58
butter as her charming my mind.
19:00
Speaker 4: And last, but at least, I too shall in Dutch.
19:03
Speaker 9: There now, my dear, if you will pass the bread,
19:07
love me.
19:09
Speaker 4: My do what see? How could you You've spilled your
19:11
wine all of them?
19:11
Speaker 3: Mister d There wasn't anywhere near they got the best blue.
19:16
Speaker 6: That will do pubist raisors frock. Isn't that important? If
19:19
it's spoiled, I'll buy a new one.
19:21
Speaker 5: I apologize my friend, madam, there are times when he's
19:24
like a great big newphunt glam dog.
19:27
Speaker 4: I know you didn't mean to, As my wife says,
19:30
what is it?
19:31
Speaker 9: As there is what I happen anymore?
19:33
Speaker 3: I apologize if I have been hasty my nerves.
19:36
Speaker 9: You understand, before a contract always a little loney edges,
19:40
as you say. But come, let us enjoy the meal.
19:44
If I may trouble you for the bread.
19:46
Speaker 5: Mister, certainly well, as you say in French.
20:07
Speaker 10: Another cup of coffee, Pelvis.
20:09
Speaker 3: No, no, no, my dear, many things excelluente meal.
20:11
Speaker 9: I only hope I shall not regrets crossing the channel.
20:16
Speaker 4: Let us hope that you will not regret many things
20:18
crossing the channel. A very cryptic remark with her.
20:22
Speaker 9: But if by any chance anything should occur, you are
20:26
here to prove my conscience is clearness. Nothing like having
20:30
the greatest of all detectives as a witness to one's kins.
20:34
Speaker 7: You too may know what you're talking about, but I
20:36
show you it's gibberish to.
20:37
Speaker 10: The rest of us.
20:38
Speaker 8: Big pardon, madame, Yes, what is it?
20:40
Speaker 9: The master's carriage, the one you ordered to take him
20:42
to the station, is waiting outside you.
20:45
Speaker 4: Yes, I must not miss my train.
20:47
Speaker 9: Pardon my hasty departure, but you know, heart is, my dear,
20:50
did you pack my goggle?
20:51
Speaker 7: It's in your medicine case, pulis, with your tooth wash
20:54
and your hair tonic, and your business and your eye wash.
20:57
My husband, mister Holmes is a veritable traveling kennistop.
21:01
Speaker 4: I hope he carries the antidotes for all of his medicines.
21:05
Speaker 3: Antidotes.
21:06
Speaker 9: You speak in parables, mister Hope, And why should I
21:09
use an antidote? I have merely one of my wretched
21:13
sure throats coming ah.
21:14
Speaker 3: Well, of where doctor Watson, why mister Sherlock.
21:19
Speaker 4: Holmes, by monsieur.
21:37
Speaker 2: Morning homes morning, Well, let us say that was the
21:40
curious dinner party last night.
21:41
Speaker 3: It was for breakfast.
21:43
Speaker 4: Tippers, and don't monophilize them and tasty.
21:48
Speaker 3: Well, I got the Madame de Pavance survived the evening.
21:51
Speaker 2: I left word that she was to send for me
21:53
immediately if she felt the slightest qualms. If you ask me,
21:56
Monsieur Pavarma is quite correct in his diagnosis. Past you
22:00
old girl, sterk ags and suspicions were probably a mouth
22:03
for the female hysteria.
22:05
Speaker 5: I wasn't concerned in the least for Madame de Pavan's safety, Watson.
22:08
It was her husband. I rather wondered about, what do
22:10
you mean you haven't read the morning papers? I take
22:13
it here, take a look at this item.
22:16
Speaker 2: Famous violinist dies in channel crossing to mister succumbs to
22:22
Nausier and convulsionists.
22:23
Speaker 5: Good Lord, Yes, I rather thought he might, as I
22:26
suspected the butter was poisoned.
22:28
Speaker 4: Antimony poisoned? Careful, Watson, who spills your coffee?
22:31
Speaker 3: But I insid of that butter? You ate some of it,
22:33
so did everybody else.
22:34
Speaker 4: Arm yourself.
22:35
Speaker 5: The poison was all in the end portion where Monsieur
22:37
de Pavan so carefully put it, the piece that Madame
22:39
de Pavan cut off for herself. Yes, but he offered
22:42
her the other day, naturally, Watson, he knew she'd be contrary.
22:46
Monsieur Parvan was a very shrewd judge of his wife's character.
22:49
Speaker 3: Of the great Scott.
22:50
Speaker 2: Supposed she hadn't turned it around, one of the rest
22:52
of us might have had the poison slice.
22:54
Speaker 5: No, Watson, I rather imagine if that had happened, Monsieur
22:56
de Pavan would have continued serving from a harmless end
22:59
and left the poison bit instead of serving from the
23:01
other end. It was this, shall we say, change of
23:04
direction that made me suspect he was up to no good.
23:07
Speaker 2: Yes, but look here, Holmes, it still doesn't make sense.
23:10
It wasn't Madame de Pavan who died.
23:12
Speaker 4: It was her husband.
23:13
Speaker 5: Naturally. Why do you think I upset that glass of
23:15
chalid over the daughter's dress.
23:16
Speaker 3: I might have known it was you.
23:19
Speaker 5: I did it in order to create it a version,
23:20
so I could shift Monsieur and Madame's butter plates without
23:23
anyone being the wiser. Of course, even there was no
23:26
proof that the butter was poisoned, I did it just
23:29
in case.
23:30
Speaker 2: Sin You didn't actually know the butter was poison until
23:32
you read the morning's paper.
23:33
Speaker 4: Oh no, Watson.
23:34
Speaker 5: But antmony, as you doubtless remember, is rather a slow
23:37
acting poison. One of the first symptoms, however, as a
23:40
soreness of the throat. I suspected the little Frenchman had
23:43
taken a dose of his own poison when he inquired
23:45
about his gargle.
23:46
Speaker 4: That's why I advised him to use an antidote. Remember
23:49
you think he understood that warning quite then?
23:52
Speaker 3: Why didn't he take the antidote.
23:53
Speaker 4: He knew we were unto him, Watson.
23:56
Speaker 5: Rather than face the consequences of his crime, he decided
23:59
to let nature take its course.
24:01
Speaker 4: Yes, spare me another kipper, Watson, if you can spare it.
24:09
Speaker 8: M m hmm.
