  Speaker 1: Well, doctor Watson, Now what about the Copper beaches. It
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: was a cold, gloomy morning in early spring.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: We've were sitting on either side of a cherry fire
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: in our rooms in Baker Street. Homes had been silent
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: and moody all morning, smoking his long cherrywood pipe, which
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: usually displaced his favorite clay when he was in a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: disputatious mood.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Altogether, he was in no sweet temper.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Matches, matches were the matches got that confounded fog? What
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: happens to all the matches in this house?
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I'd like to know, Oh, my dear Holmes, why not
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: use the tongs and a live coal if you want
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to relat your pipe?
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Now I've burnt myself.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Out, for Heaven's sake. Homes, stop spluttering. I see sendings
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: annoying you. Why don't you get it off your chest?
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: It's that latest book of yours. Sensationalism, Watson, Rank, sensationalism.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: You're always placing the emphasis on the crime. Crime logic
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: is rare. You should stress the logic. You've degraded what
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: should been a course of lectures into was cities of.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Tale now really home? It's not ugical. You always complaining
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: that crime is falling off. Say, there are no first
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: class criminals left.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Quite and therefore if you depend on the crime to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: hold your readers, you'll soon be a back number criminals.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: They've lost all their enterprise and originality.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Might be to be degenerating into an agency for recovering
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: lost lead pencils and giving good advice to young ladies
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: from boarding.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: School, advice to the love lauree.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Well look at this. This note came in the morning post,
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: the last straw. That's what it is. Yeah, I read it, dear,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Let me see it.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Dear mister Helmes, I am very anxious to consult you
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: as to whether I should or should not accept a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: situation which has been offered me as governess. I shall
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: call at half past ten tomorrow if I do not
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: inconvenience you, yours faithfully violent hunter.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But it's almost eleven now, exactly.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: She's late, just like a woman. Nice.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I suppose this must be the young lady now walking briskly.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Up the street.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Let me see, brisk, purposeful manner, nice, bright, intelligent face.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, she's stopping at our door.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: There may be something in this case, after all, my
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: dear Watson. Yes, she's not the hysterical sort that makes
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a fuss over nothing. Here she is, come in?
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: How do you do? This is mister Sherlock. Home quite man.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: This is my colleague, doctor Watson. How do you do?
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Won't you sit down?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you? I trust you'll excuse my troubling you, mister Holmes.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But I've had a very strange experience, and as I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: have no relations of any sort to advise me, I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: thought i'd best come to you.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I shall be happy to do anything I can.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I've been a governess for five years in the family
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of Colonel Spence Monroe. He's been transferred to Nova Scotia,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: so that for the last few months I've been without
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a situation. With the money I had saved began to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: run out. I I was at my wits end. Go
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: on yesterday. I called it a well known employment agency
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: run by a Miss Stoper. When I arrived, the outer
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: office was filled with young ladies looking for situations. I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: was told to wait. I did so. After about half
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: an hour, my name was called out well the daughter,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Miss Stoupa's private office was a jar. Seated beside her
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was a prodigiously stout man with a stround, smiling face
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and a heavy chin. His eyes were like two little slips.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Come in, my dear, Come in, mister, this is miss
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, what is your name, my dear miss Hunter?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Violet Hunter. Oh yes, Violet Hunter.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Captit to get it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I couldn't ask for anything better. I'm sure you will do,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Miss Hunter.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I hope. So, mister Rucastle, you're.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Looking for a situation as governess. Yes, sir, what salary
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: do you ask?
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Well? I had four pounds a month in my last.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Place, four bones, sweating, rape, sweating.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: How anyone could have the audacity to offer that to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a lady with such attraction, such accomplishment.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: My accomplishments may not be all you expec beg mister Roecastle,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a little French, a little German music and drawing.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: My dear miss Hunter. Or that's beside the question. The
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: point is are you or are you not?
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: A lady?
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Well, the answer is yes, lady fitted for the rearing
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: of a child who may someday play a considerable part
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: in the history of his country. Your salary with me, madam,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: would commence at one hundred pounds a year.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: A hundred, oh, mister Roecastle.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: The more it's my custom to advance my young lady's
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: half their salary beforehand?
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: May I ask where you leave, mister Roecastle.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Hampshire charming rural spot. The Copper Beaches is the name
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: of the place, five miles north of Winchester, the dearest
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: old house.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And what would be my duties?
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: One child, a dear little romper age six.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: If you could see him killing cockroaches with a slipper
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Slesmax Bactree, God, before you could wink.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: My sole duty then is to take care of this
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: this child.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure your good sense would suggest that you
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: will be any little.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Commands which my wife might give.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I should be happy to make myself useful.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: Dress for example, Well, thaddy people, faddy but kind hearted.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: If you were asked to wear a particular dress, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: we might give you you you wouldn't object to our
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: little women?
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Why no more to sit here or there? That wouldn't
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: be offensive to you?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Why why no?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Or to cut your hair short before you came to
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: us My hair, Yes, it's quite essential. It's a little
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: fancy of my wife's, you see. And ladies fancies my
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: dear miss Hunter. They must be consultant.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Put my hair.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Oh no, I couldn't no, what a pity. In that case,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: mister Prah, i'd best inspect a few more of your
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: young ladies.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Good day than miss Hunter. I'm afraid you must consider
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: yourself struck from our list.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: You can hardly expect us to exert ourselves to find
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: another such opening for you.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: But miss Stoper, good day, Miss Hunter.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Wait just a minute, miss stopah, Let's not be too
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: hard on the young lady. After all, My request a
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: bit sudden. Perhaps, Miss Hunter, you'd like twenty four hours
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: in which to consider the matter. And in view of
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: the fact that you have particularly beautiful hair, I might
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: be willing to raise the salary to one hundred and
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: twenty pounds a year to recompense you for our little eccentricities.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Unusual, might very unusual, my dear miss Hunter. What you
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: make of it? Watson?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Perhaps the gentleman's wife is a lunatic and he wishes
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to humor and her fancist in order to prevent an outbreak.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Possibly want some.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Possibly with the money, mister Holmes, the money and I
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: need it so well.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, the pay is good, too good.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Why should they give you one hundred and twenty pounds
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: when they could have their pick for forty There must
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: be some strong reason.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: But I I have no choice, and you've made up
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: your mind to accept I must.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I thought if I told you the circumstances, you would
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: understand afterwards. If well, if I wanted your help, I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: should feel so much strong if I knew you were
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: behind me.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Yes, you may carry that feeling away with you. And
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: if at any time you should find yourself.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: In danger, danger, what danger could there be, my.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Dear miss Hunter. It would cease to be a danger
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: if we could define it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: But remember, at any time, day or night, just telegraph
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and I'll come to your help.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, mister Holmes, thank you.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Do you realize Watson? It's been almost a week since
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Miss Hunter called and we haven't heard a word from her.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I don't like him, O nonsense Holmes.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: She seemed to be a young lady who is quite
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: capable of taking care of herself.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: That's the same.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: I should never have permitted an unprotected female to accept
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: the situation like that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Data if I only had some data. Can't make bricks
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: without straw.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, at any rate, nothing very dreadful conhattan out in
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the open country like that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: That is way You're wrong Watson.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: It's my experience that the vilest alleys in London do
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: not present a more dreadful record of sin than does
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the smiling and beautiful countryside.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You give me the creeps.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: The pressure of public opinion is greatest in the towns.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: There's no lane so vile that the scream of a
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: tortured child or the flood of a drunken's blow does
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: not beget sympathy and assistance from the neighbors. But the countryside,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: my dear Watson, filled with its lonely houses. Think of
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness. Had our young friend
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: gone to live in Winchester, I should not have this
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: fear for her safety. It's the five miles of country
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: which make the danger.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: See what that is, Watson?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you missus Subson. It's a telegram for you, Hose,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: give it to me.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: It's from miss Hunter.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: What does she say?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Come at once?
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: We'll meet you at the black Swan Hotel, Winchester three
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: this afternoon, And that, my wits end don't fail me.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: What do you suppose has happened, Haddy Watson, We have
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: no time to lose. Is a train from Waterloo.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: Station in half an hour, if only we get to
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: her entire.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: There's the black Swan opposite the station, and if I'm
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: not mistaken, that is miss Hunter waiting for us on
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the steps.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So, mister Holmes, it's so kind you'd come, and you too,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Doctor Watson. I can't tell you how anxious I've been there.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: There, Miss Hunter. I am Watson. You'd better handle this situation.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: You're better with this stelling a woman than I am.
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: Homers. You are a cold bloody fish. He's not hysterior.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: It's relief.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: It's all right, miss Hunter. We are here. You know
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I'm ready, not as foolish as I. It's just that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the strain of the last two weeks. But I'll tell
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you about that as we go along. There's a short
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: cut to the Copper Beach is through the woods.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Come along again, now, miss Hunter, if you'll tell us
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: what's been happening since you arrived at the Roecastle household.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Well, Copper Beaches is a large, sinister looking house, almost
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: completely surrounded by woods. It depressed me from the moment
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of my arrival. I was met at the door by
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: mister Roecastle and his wife. And is she no mister Holmes,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: She is not mad.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I see.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: She's a small, pale faced woman, much younger than mister Rucastle.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: In fact, I gather that she says second wife. There
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: was a daughter by the first marriage, a girl now
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: over twenty, but she's not living at the house. Mister
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Rucastle said that she could not get along with her stepmother,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: so he sent her to America, to Philadelphia, America.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Extraordinary And does missus Rucastle strike you as a difficult
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: woman to get along with?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Oh no, mister Holmes, she's shy and rather quiet. More
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: than once I've surprised her in tears. At first I
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: thought it might be worried over the disposition of her child.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: What's the matter with his disposition?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And he's badly spoiled. He's an ungovernable temper and seems
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to take a great delight in torturing birds and small animals.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Pleasant little beast and the rest of the household. There's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: only one servant, Toller is his name, A rough, uncouth
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: man with a perpetual smell of drink about him. Why
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: they keep him I don't know, except perhaps because he's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the only one who can manage Carlo. Carlo Carlo is
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: a huge underfed mastif that's kept chain in the stables
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: during the day, but at night they let him out.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: He's a terrible beast. Even mister Rucastle is afraid of him.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But I'm sure he'd tear there any trespass he to bits.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I wonder why mister Rucastle desires such ferocious protection.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't know, unless unless there is something
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: on the top floor of the west wing that he
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: wants to hide. The West wing, eh, Yes, the door
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that leads into it is opposite my room. It's kept
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: securely locked. I have noticed mister Roecastle going in and
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: out a couple of times. The windows of that wing
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: are all shuttered too, and locked from the inside. Looks
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: nasty to me. Holmes Watson doliterrupted for the second day
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: after my arrival. Immediately after breakfast, mister Rucastle asked me
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to put on a dress which had been laid out
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: on the bed for me. What was it like? It
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't a new dress, mister Holmes, but the material was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: excellent and of a particularly brilliant shade, an electric blue,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: charming color. I put it on and went down to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the living room. Mister Roecastle had placed a chair for
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: me by the front window.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Sit here, with your leg to the window. You may
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: read this book Beloved, a French novel. I think we'll find.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: It most amusing. After an hour or so, you may
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: go back upstairs and changed your own clothes.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: But mister Roecastle, I don't understand who asked you to understand?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Just do as I say. Strange, very strange, Miss Hut.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I've had to sit there in the window for an
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: hour every morning since then. As time past, I became
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: more and more curious. Why were they so careful to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: keep my face turned away from the window. Naturally, I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: was consumed with the czar to see what was going
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: on behind my back. But today I'd devised a means.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I noticed a breakfast that mister Rucastle had had quite
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: a few drinks. A happy thought seized me. My hand
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: mirr had been broken. I concealed a piece of it
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: my handkerchief, and later in my book, feeling sure that
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: mister Rucastle was too drunk to notice. By holding the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: book up, I was able to see everything behind me.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: And what did you see?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: At first? There was nothing. At the second glance, however,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I saw a young man in a gray suit, leaning
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: against a rain which boarded our field. He was looking
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: earnestly in my direction. Mister Rucastle must have noticed my
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: surprise reburst out angrily.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Really, miss Hunter, your attention must be wondering. That's the
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: second time you read that passion for them? As an
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: impertinent fellow up the road who keeps staring at you
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: a friend of yours?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Oh no, Mistercastle, I don't know anyone around here.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Kindly turn around and motioned him to go away.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: But wouldn't it be better not to notice as who?
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: As I'd tell you, I really don't encourage you to
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: have any followers.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Very well, Misterecastle, there, impertinent fellow.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: That'll be all for this morning, Miss Hunter.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Me good, mister Rucastle. I hope you don't think go
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: to your room.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: I say, yes, sir, And after this you needn't bother
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: to wear that blue.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Dress it to But on the way up, says I
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: noticed that that the west wing had the key still
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: in the locker. Lucastle must have been drunk to get
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: there to home, quite Watson, I'll admit my curiosity is
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: greater than my sense of caution. I opened and mounted
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: the stairs to the attic in the hall. At the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: top of the house. I found three doors, the middle
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: one barred with the end of an old iron bedstead.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Good lord, it was terribly.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Spooky up there.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Once something brushed against my face upset. There must have
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: been a bet. Oh dear, is there any one in there?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Who's there?
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Can I help you?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: So it was you?
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Then I thought it must be when I saw the
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: door open, mister Lucassa frightened my dear young lady. What
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: frightened you?
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: But I was foolish enough to come into this vacant wing.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: But it's so lonely an area, and a bat swooped
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: down at my face?
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Is that all?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: What else could there be?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Why do you suppose I keep that door locked?
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't know to keep people out who
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: have no business there, you see, I'm sure if i'd known.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Well, you know now, my dear young lady, And if
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: you ever put your foot over that threshold again, I'll
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: throw you to the mastiff room.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: What a dreadful experience, mister Holmes. I feel sure there's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: someone locked in that room, someone who's unhappy, perhaps tortured.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Oh good heavens, it's almost five, I promise to be bad.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: By six, mister and missus Routhcastle are going out, mister
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Roecastle to discover it had been.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: You've acted like a brave and sensible girl, Miss Hunter.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed you have.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Dr Watson and I will hang around the Roe Castles
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: have left.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Well, that should be around seven.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Good. I don't imagine the mastiff will be let loose
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: en til their return.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Oh no, mister Holmes will be too dangerous for them
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to get back to the house.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Excellent, we'll hope the Toller's still drunk at inner rate.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: You must get us into the house. We must explore
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the west wing.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I'll do my best, mister Holmes, and now I must harry. Goodbye, gentlemen,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: there is Hunter. Well, my dear Holmes, what do you
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: make of it? All the blue dress and the man
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: in front of the house.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Obviously they've had her impersonating someone, someone young whose hair
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: had been cut off during an illness.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: That someone is probably the person imprisoned in the West Wing.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Her, sinister, that is.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Not the most sinister part of this Hunter's story, Watson. No,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: what is then the unpleasant disposition of the child. But
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: what has that got to do with it, my dear Watson.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: As a medical man, you're always gaining lightness to the
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: tendencies of a child by a study of the parents.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Heredity is a science that can.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Be worked backwards as well.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: You can get a good insight into the character of
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: the parents by studying the children. This child is cruel,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: abnormally cruel. He probably inherits it from one of his parents.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: I only hope nothing serious happens before seven o'clock.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Gracious, what tonight the first thunder storm of the season.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: See listen to that dog.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: He has an ugly temper.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Look at the copper beeches swaying in the wind. Yes,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: there's miss Hunter standing in the front doorway.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: She's waving to us. The ghost must be clear. Come in,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Come in, good is you might be search of a swing.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: What's that pounding?
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: It's Tala. He was just going out to release the dog.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I sent him to the wine cellar and locked him in.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Splendid.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I managed to get Toller's keys this afternoon, too. He
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: was quite drunk. Their duplicates of mister Ruecastle's better and better.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: But come along upstairs. We have no time to waste.
