- 0:21Speaker 1: Thanks doctor. Hi you already with the night's new Sherlock
- 0:24Speaker 1: Homs adventure, Yes.
- 0:25Speaker 3: Mister Botel, though I'm afraid after all these years, it's
- 0:27Speaker 3: going to be a little hard for me to recapture
- 0:29Speaker 3: for your the spirit of the story.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Last week you told us that a band of gypsies
- 0:35Speaker 1: played a prominent part in the adventure.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yes they did, indeed, and it was amid.
- 0:39Speaker 3: That colorful atmosphere that my story begins.
- 0:42Speaker 4: In the autumn of eighteen hundred and ninety, my old
- 0:45Speaker 4: friend Sherlock Holmes have persuaded me to leave the comforts
- 0:47Speaker 4: of my domestic farside for a few days and to
- 0:50Speaker 4: accompany him to the tiny village of Bragston on the Marsh.
- 0:53Speaker 3: In the heart of the Norfolk fen district.
- 0:55Speaker 4: What took Sherlock holmbs up there?
- 0:57Speaker 2: Doctor?
- 0:57Speaker 3: I'm afraid that at the time we left London, mister
- 0:59Speaker 3: bout he concealed his true purpose from me, saying only
- 1:03Speaker 3: that he wanted friendly companionship in a strong right arm
- 1:06Speaker 3: up until later did I learn that he was then
- 1:08Speaker 3: on the track of one of the last clues that
- 1:10Speaker 3: led to the confining of money out again. But to
- 1:13Speaker 3: get on with my story. He arrived at Bragston on
- 1:16Speaker 3: the Marsh and settled assos in the village inn, and
- 1:19Speaker 3: after an early dinner, we strolled across the fields with
- 1:22Speaker 3: the gypsy fair that was in Kemp nearby. It was
- 1:24Speaker 3: a colorful sight. Mister Bartell napped the flares lighted, a
- 1:28Speaker 3: group of tents and caravans dotted round the edge of
- 1:31Speaker 3: the marsh, and as gold earing gypsy girls told fortunes
- 1:34Speaker 3: and danced swot their gypsy men played on their violins
- 1:38Speaker 3: for haunting melodies of their ancestors. We watched the side
- 1:42Speaker 3: shows for a few moments, and then strolled towards the
- 1:44Speaker 3: center of the gypsy and captain it seems only like yesterday,
- 1:48Speaker 3: mister Bartell, as Holmes turned to me and.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Said, ar crived from big the street, isn't it, Watson.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Yes, indeed it's the same homes. I'm convinced that you're
- 1:59Speaker 3: not here purely for holiday. You're on the trail of
- 2:02Speaker 3: some criminal. No chair, I'm on the trailer of a crew.
- 2:05Speaker 4: The clue, if I find it, may lead to the
- 2:07Speaker 4: confounding of the Mariati gangs.
- 2:09Speaker 3: Coach, you'll be a little more explicit, after all, I
- 2:12Speaker 3: left my wife and my practice. I'd ask you any questions, surely,
- 2:15Speaker 3: and I we're up here even let me know what's
- 2:16Speaker 3: the foot Very well awful up.
- 2:18Speaker 4: I'm searching for a young gypsy by the name of
- 2:20Speaker 4: Primus Hearne. He disappeared recently from London and it's vital
- 2:23Speaker 4: that I find him. I know that he can give
- 2:25Speaker 4: me some essential information on our old enemy, Professor Mariati.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Can you're expecting the partner gypsy here.
- 2:30Speaker 4: I hope to get news of him. At least his father,
- 2:32Speaker 4: Jasper hern is heard of this particular encampment.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Why don't you ask if you can see here.
- 2:36Speaker 4: That's what I'm about to do. My diploge here comes in.
- 2:38Speaker 2: Just wow, ask him, all right?
- 2:40Speaker 4: Excuse me, you speak to me? God, John, can you
- 2:43Speaker 4: tell me where I might signed? Mister jasper Hearn, what
- 2:46Speaker 4: you want for chessper Her, I have a message for
- 2:48Speaker 4: his son Piramus.
- 2:49Speaker 3: That is different.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Jessper Hearn stands into boot Yonder. He is the Timber
- 2:53Speaker 1: Lanka Timber.
- 2:55Speaker 4: He's a gentleman engaged in an interesting exhibition of skill
- 2:58Speaker 4: involving three thimbles and a p what our American cousins
- 3:01Speaker 4: referred to I understand as the old show game. Let's
- 3:04Speaker 4: stroll over the show we ought. I would wish to
- 3:06Speaker 4: talk to Jasper.
- 3:06Speaker 1: WO would be better to wait until he is finished.
- 3:09Speaker 1: The timber anger needs all his wits about.
- 3:11Speaker 2: But y'all look at that stunning girl and the tent
- 3:13Speaker 2: over there?
- 3:13Speaker 3: Who who she hurt?
- 3:14Speaker 1: There is penning their eyes stuckering.
- 3:16Speaker 4: That is lydia, lydia pentelengro.
- 3:19Speaker 1: Excuse me, I shall tell Jasper to expect you late.
- 3:22Speaker 2: I can't understand the word they say home.
- 3:24Speaker 4: I'm felling them at last, my dear fellow, you can
- 3:28Speaker 4: appreciate how I have felt at times, But at least
- 3:31Speaker 4: their words are clear, even even if the senses not
- 3:35Speaker 4: to someone who is unfamiliar with the Romney language.
- 3:37Speaker 3: I don't know why you keep thinking that. I am
- 3:39Speaker 3: hard to understand. No one else ever complains of it.
- 3:42Speaker 3: In any case, what does penning the fami mean?
- 3:45Speaker 4: Well, if I remember rightly Penning Ducarin is telling fortunes,
- 3:49Speaker 4: and from the sound of things, Lydia Penelanngro is not
- 3:52Speaker 4: greatly pleased with the duck, and she pen no more.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Lydia can tell no more fortune.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Come on, Watson, let's see what the trouble is.
- 3:59Speaker 5: What do you mean you must finish it alive, my dear.
- 4:01Speaker 6: If the young lady doesn't want to tell my fault,
- 4:03Speaker 6: you're rubbish.
- 4:04Speaker 5: You cross her palm with silver.
- 4:05Speaker 6: She's taking money on the false pretensive.
- 4:07Speaker 7: Here I give your silver back.
- 4:09Speaker 8: Liddy has never taken money under false pretenses, nor has
- 4:12Speaker 8: she told the future, and she does not wish.
- 4:13Speaker 5: To goodbye to you.
- 4:14Speaker 6: The insolence of these gypsus is intolerable.
- 4:17Speaker 5: If I had my.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Way, they'd been run out.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Of the county.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Now, my dear, don't get so excited. The Bourgo's probably
- 4:23Speaker 4: major tread gold, isn't it her.
- 4:25Speaker 3: I don't think I have the pleasure of your Oh,
- 4:27Speaker 3: dear me, it's mister Sherlock Holmes.
- 4:29Speaker 4: Yes, sir, well, bless my soul.
- 4:31Speaker 6: Haven't seen you since that last meeting of the Geographical Society.
- 4:34Speaker 3: I'd like you to meet my wife.
- 4:35Speaker 4: How do you do, missus? Fredgold, how do you do?
- 4:37Speaker 4: And this is my friend, doctor Boson, And what brings
- 4:40Speaker 4: you up to.
- 4:40Speaker 3: This part of England?
- 4:42Speaker 2: Holmes?
- 4:42Speaker 3: Are you hot on the trail of some desperate criminal?
- 4:45Speaker 4: Yeah me no, Doctor Watson and I are taking into
- 4:47Speaker 4: holiday and you and your wife we live here in
- 4:50Speaker 4: the manor house.
- 4:51Speaker 2: You're very lucky. It's a beautiful part of the county.
- 4:53Speaker 4: I hate it.
- 4:54Speaker 5: I was born and brought up in London.
- 4:55Speaker 7: I'm never really happy outside the city.
- 4:57Speaker 6: Yes, Ali does not run for the peace of the countryside.
- 4:59Speaker 2: I'm afraid.
- 5:00Speaker 6: Well, well, perhaps we'll get back there. It's a little
- 5:03Speaker 6: difficult these days, you know. We've got the boy to
- 5:05Speaker 6: consider boy your son, my dead brother's son.
- 5:08Speaker 4: Doctor.
- 5:09Speaker 3: We have no children.
- 5:10Speaker 6: My little nephew's only four years old, you see, and
- 5:12Speaker 6: i'm his guardian as well as being executive. If his
- 5:15Speaker 6: estates are so, you can understand it would be difficult
- 5:17Speaker 6: for us to get back to London.
- 5:19Speaker 8: It's only difficult because you've got the child's happiness before mine.
- 5:21Speaker 6: I thought, oh no, no, if you know, I have
- 5:23Speaker 6: to watch his interest up here. After all, when he
- 5:26Speaker 6: comes of age, he'll be one of the richest chairmen
- 5:28Speaker 6: in Norfolk. Yes, and with money that should have come
- 5:30Speaker 6: to us.
- 5:31Speaker 8: In any case, Arthur, if we do have to live
- 5:33Speaker 8: up here, I'd find it more tolerable if you'd keep this.
- 5:35Speaker 6: Gypsies come up the estates you seem.
- 5:37Speaker 4: To have taken them a balance is like to the gypsies,
- 5:39Speaker 4: missus tripgold May I ask why they persecute us? They
- 5:43Speaker 4: steal our sheep, they break.
- 5:44Speaker 5: Our windows, and just the other day they once only.
- 5:46Speaker 6: Let our price pick into the backstone Quagmar and let
- 5:49Speaker 6: the beast perros.
- 5:50Speaker 3: Why should they single you out for persecution like this,
- 5:52Speaker 3: juse Burd.
- 5:53Speaker 2: I can't imagine.
- 5:54Speaker 6: I've always tried to be nice to them, too nice, Arthur,
- 5:56Speaker 6: that's your trouble.
- 5:57Speaker 4: I have a very good reason for humoring them, my dear.
- 6:00Speaker 6: You see, Holmes, I've always been afraid they may carry
- 6:02Speaker 6: this feud so far that they'll even hurt the baby Olive,
- 6:06Speaker 6: My dear, I wonder if you'd go ahead and wait
- 6:08Speaker 6: for me in the carriage.
- 6:08Speaker 4: It's getting rather chilly.
- 6:10Speaker 2: I'll join you in a moment.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Very well after, but don't keep me waiting long.
- 6:13Speaker 9: Good evening, Good evening.
- 6:17Speaker 6: Let's stroll away from the camp, shall we. I got
- 6:19Speaker 6: something very important to tell you, something I didn't.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Like to say in front of Olive.
- 6:25Speaker 6: The Gypsies have threatened to kidnap our boys.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Shocking.
- 6:29Speaker 4: What form did their threat take her?
- 6:32Speaker 3: This letter?
- 6:33Speaker 4: I found it pinned on the frame of my dressing
- 6:34Speaker 4: room mirror when I went up after dinner to night.
- 6:36Speaker 4: Let me see it, will you please?
- 6:38Speaker 3: What did you?
- 6:38Speaker 2: Says?
- 6:39Speaker 4: A romany Rye? A romeny Raye won't take your insults forever?
- 6:47Speaker 4: Major and missus high and mighty, watch out for the
- 6:50Speaker 4: tread gold air. The bragstone quagmire would make a nice
- 6:55Speaker 4: finishing school for him.
- 6:56Speaker 2: Romeny Rae.
- 6:57Speaker 4: What that means?
- 6:58Speaker 6: Well, it's their own term meaning, mister Holmes, what shall
- 7:02Speaker 6: I do?
- 7:02Speaker 4: Make you fed?
- 7:02Speaker 2: Gold?
- 7:04Speaker 3: Wait?
- 7:05Speaker 5: Heaven?
- 7:06Speaker 3: That shot just missed me. Where the bleass has come from?
- 7:08Speaker 3: I can't see a.
- 7:09Speaker 4: Thus they have come from behind any one of those
- 7:11Speaker 4: caravans ahead of us.
- 7:11Speaker 6: If you wanted to direct evidence, gentlemen, this is it.
- 7:14Speaker 6: That is the first open attempt on my life. Poles,
- 7:17Speaker 6: what extraordinary luck for me that you're in the neighborhood.
- 7:20Speaker 6: I'll pay you any fee you name to handle this.
- 7:23Speaker 4: It seems to me that this is a job for
- 7:24Speaker 4: the police.
- 7:25Speaker 2: I don't want to go to them. Oh why not?
- 7:27Speaker 9: So?
- 7:27Speaker 6: I'm afraid that these attacks may stem from some injustice
- 7:30Speaker 6: to the Gypsies committed.
- 7:31Speaker 3: By my late brother.
- 7:32Speaker 6: If that were so, I wouldn't wish to expose the fact.
- 7:35Speaker 6: I want this kept private. What do you say, mister Holmes?
- 7:39Speaker 4: Huh, I'll accept the case. It shall be kept private,
- 7:42Speaker 4: and I promised to do everything in my part protect
- 7:44Speaker 4: the safety of the fed Gold air that we are
- 7:46Speaker 4: staying at the Rose and Crown in the village. Please
- 7:48Speaker 4: get in touch with me if there should be further developments.
- 8:05Speaker 2: The first seems to be close down for the night.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Now homes they're turning.
- 8:09Speaker 4: Up and that's a fair Yes, let's stroll over to
- 8:11Speaker 4: Jasper Hern's calavan way. He should be free now.
- 8:13Speaker 3: If he's head of this tribe, you ought to be
- 8:15Speaker 3: able to tell you something about this tread gold business.
- 8:17Speaker 4: Yes, now, I still first ask him about his son Piramis,
- 8:20Speaker 4: and then I'm looking for I think the fact that
- 8:22Speaker 4: I know his son will inspire confidence. Here we are,
- 8:25Speaker 4: this is the caravan.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Girls, the dear Petrol Aingel are sitting outside, and one
- 8:28Speaker 3: that was telling fortun.
- 8:29Speaker 4: Yes, good evening, cool, are what you want? I wish
- 8:32Speaker 4: to speak to Jasper hearn.

- 14:59Speaker 1: Doctor Watson Wilton tinue his story in just a few seconds,

- 15:05Speaker 1: if I may, and tell you about Petrie California muscatell.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Just as Petrie California port has long been known as
- 15:12Speaker 1: the wine of gentlemen, Petrie muscatel has been known as
- 15:15Speaker 1: the favorite of the ladies. That's because Petrie muscatel is
- 15:19Speaker 1: a golden colored wine that looks like captured sunshine and
- 15:23Speaker 1: tastes well, did you ever taste big plump muscat grapes
- 15:28Speaker 1: picked when they're still misty? And dew covered. If you have,
- 15:32Speaker 1: you know what to expect when you taste petree muscatell.
- 15:35Speaker 1: The flavor of Petrie muscatel comes right from the very
- 15:38Speaker 1: heart of luscious, hand picked muscat grapes. You couldn't ask
- 15:42Speaker 1: for a more delicious wine than muscatel Petree muscatel. Well,
- 15:48Speaker 1: doctor Watson, and I I must say, this is a
- 15:50Speaker 1: strange story you're telling us. You mean to say that
- 15:53Speaker 1: the air to the tread gold estates had been kidnapped,
- 15:55Speaker 1: and yet Sherlock Holmes paid no attention.
- 15:57Speaker 3: It seemed like this about tell I couldn't understand him.
- 16:01Speaker 3: I've never known him to be so indifferent to it.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Case there he sat until the early hours of the morning.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Has he and that girl scraped away at their violins
- 16:09Speaker 3: and never said a word about the kidnapped baby. Finally,
- 16:12Speaker 3: as we walked home across the field a few hours
- 16:15Speaker 3: before dawn, his mind seemed to return to the mattered hand.
- 16:18Speaker 3: He spoke quietly, and yet there was a note of
- 16:21Speaker 3: suppressed excitement in his voice.
- 16:24Speaker 4: My dear, Hello, you're angry with me, aren't you.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Oh? No, homes, I must say, but I'm I'm confused.
- 16:29Speaker 3: That girl seems to bewitch her. Have you forgotten that
- 16:32Speaker 3: you accepted the jug of guarding the tread girl there?
- 16:34Speaker 3: And if the child was kidnapped tonight?
- 16:36Speaker 4: Oh, I'm fully aware of fact.
- 16:38Speaker 3: I haven't said stoppeding to in finally, matter of fact,
- 16:40Speaker 3: what's coming?
- 16:41Speaker 1: Oh?
- 16:41Speaker 4: Possibly it's the mood of this mild autumn night. It
- 16:44Speaker 4: is indeed there since Martin summer, so much so I've
- 16:49Speaker 4: I've left my coat and garstot a cat behind me
- 16:50Speaker 4: at the encampment. Let's go back shop in And incidentally,
- 16:53Speaker 4: when we get there, I can set your mind at
- 16:55Speaker 4: rest by showing you the kidnapped child.
- 16:58Speaker 3: I mean you know where it is.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Certainly it's in the camp.
- 17:02Speaker 2: Then the gypsies did steal it.
- 17:04Speaker 3: No, my dear fellow, I did what This is one
- 17:07Speaker 3: of those occasions when you absolutely furiate me homes you
- 17:10Speaker 3: must keep me up half a night while you have
- 17:12Speaker 3: a fitting comfort with a gypsy girl. At least of
- 17:14Speaker 3: all you can do is tell me what's going on?
- 17:16Speaker 3: You still child yourself?
- 17:17Speaker 2: Heaven's name?
- 17:18Speaker 4: Why because the threatening note to Major tread Gold was
- 17:21Speaker 4: so obviously afore why do you say that you will
- 17:23Speaker 4: remember that the letter began a romany rye will not
- 17:26Speaker 4: take your insults forever. Now, a romedy rye, despite what
- 17:29Speaker 4: Meda when fred Gold said, does not mean a gypsy.
- 17:33Speaker 4: That a man who knows about gypsy law. It is
- 17:36Speaker 4: a term no true gypsy would apply to himself. He
- 17:38Speaker 4: would use the expression for romedy child. And it was
- 17:41Speaker 4: obvious from the beginning that no gypsy threatened the child.
- 17:44Speaker 4: Now who else had a motive for harming it?
- 17:47Speaker 3: Well made a tread Gold because he stood to inherit
- 17:50Speaker 3: the estate, Yes, or his wife.
- 17:53Speaker 4: It's quite obvious she has no liking for her present
- 17:56Speaker 4: life and the child. There is an obstacles when you
- 17:58Speaker 4: won with the child, kidnapped them later and made away
- 18:01Speaker 4: with Obviously they both stood to gain a great many
- 18:03Speaker 4: of the things they wanted.
- 18:05Speaker 2: You're you're right.
- 18:07Speaker 3: Whoever the coup it is, took the precaution of pilling
- 18:09Speaker 3: the blame in advance on the unfortunate gypsies by writing
- 18:12Speaker 3: the false kidnapping note.
- 18:14Speaker 4: Wait a minute, but how about the shot that was
- 18:17Speaker 4: fired at us tonight as we walked with major treadg
- 18:19Speaker 4: probably found by a cup as to the plot, in
- 18:21Speaker 4: order to give authenticity to the supposed danger and the
- 18:24Speaker 4: child is now in the gypsy encampment. I promised that
- 18:27Speaker 4: I would protect the tread gold air, and so I
- 18:30Speaker 4: arranged with Jasper hand to have the boy kidnapped for
- 18:32Speaker 4: his own safety.
- 18:33Speaker 3: But if anyone should find the child, they'll say the
- 18:35Speaker 3: Gypsies deliberately stole him.
- 18:37Speaker 4: I'm quite certain that before that occasion arises old Chaff,
- 18:40Speaker 4: the criminal would have shown his or her hands. Come
- 18:42Speaker 4: on off, up, but your best foot forward. It's a
- 18:44Speaker 4: long way back to the camp yet, and it's nearly dawn.
- 19:00Speaker 4: Have come back but home you wish to spend the
- 19:02Speaker 4: remainder of the night, and didn't happen. No, thank you, Jasper.
- 19:04Speaker 4: I just came back my cap and coat. It was
- 19:07Speaker 4: so warm to night, and I forgot about them and
- 19:09Speaker 4: I started to walk home without them. I will find
- 19:10Speaker 4: them for you. Oh. We found this message for you
- 19:14Speaker 4: soon after you had left. It was pinned to the
- 19:16Speaker 4: door of the car. M I do not know how
- 19:18Speaker 4: it got there. I will search for your coat.
- 19:21Speaker 3: And have another message. Wants it say home?
- 19:25Speaker 4: Never trust the romany rye uh huh, the same mistake again, Watson.
- 19:31Speaker 4: Your plans have been betrayed. For proof, meet me at
- 19:34Speaker 4: the bragstone quagmire at dawn. If the trap home, obviously
- 19:38Speaker 4: we must spring it with caution. I cannot find your
- 19:41Speaker 4: coat or your cap rutter. It has vanished. Spanish. May

- 19:51Speaker 4: read this note? Yes she did, She could not help
- 19:53Speaker 4: reading it. Then she too realized it was a trap.
