- 0:01Speaker 1: And now let's look in on our old friend, doctor Watson. Doctor,
- 0:05Speaker 1: I'm out here on the patio, Come out and join me.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Quiet with it, Quiet on it.
- 0:12Speaker 1: I see the welcoming committees here.
- 0:14Speaker 3: Yeah, this little scoundrels, they begin to think they own
- 0:17Speaker 3: this patio. Coop them off for shure, mister Bartel and
- 0:20Speaker 3: the Sutlers go down.
- 0:21Speaker 1: All right, I'll get all to go, Go on, hot
- 0:24Speaker 1: to go.
- 0:24Speaker 2: That's it, my boy.
- 0:26Speaker 3: The matter of fact, it's rather appropriate that the puppies
- 0:28Speaker 3: should be here tonight, as in the story that I'm
- 0:31Speaker 3: going to tell you a dog that played the most
- 0:33Speaker 3: prominent part.
- 0:34Speaker 2: A dog.
- 0:35Speaker 1: What kind of a dog?
- 0:36Speaker 4: Do I?
- 0:37Speaker 3: My boy, don't get me anticipating my story for once.
- 0:40Speaker 2: I'm going to start at the beginning.
- 0:42Speaker 3: Which was on a summer morning in eighteen hundred and ninety,
- 0:46Speaker 3: not long after my marriage.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I've gone back to my.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Private practice, you know, and Sherlock Holmes was living alone
- 0:51Speaker 3: in our old Baker Street rooms.
- 0:53Speaker 1: For you still saw him, I suppose, indeed I did.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Mister Bartel. In fact occasion, I even persuaded him to
- 0:58Speaker 3: forego his bohemian habits so far as to visit my
- 1:01Speaker 3: wife and me that. To get back to my story,
- 1:04Speaker 3: I've been exceptionally busy that summer, and consquence was feeling
- 1:07Speaker 3: rather shall we say, nervy and run down, so much
- 1:11Speaker 3: so that Mary, oh missus Watson persuaded me to take.
- 1:14Speaker 2: A fortnite's holiday.
- 1:15Speaker 3: We went down to the charming little village of Taplow
- 1:18Speaker 3: on the lower reaches of the River Thames. That so
- 1:21Speaker 3: often happens, the best laid schemes of mice and men gang.
- 1:25Speaker 2: A to glad.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I guess the holiday backfired on your doctor and you
- 1:29Speaker 1: found yourself involved in a mystery, maybe a mystery calling
- 1:32Speaker 1: for the aid of your old friend Sherlock hol Right, correct,
- 1:34Speaker 1: mister Boto.
- 1:35Speaker 3: We'd only be down there a couple of days when
- 1:37Speaker 3: the trouble began. In fact, the whole thing became so
- 1:39Speaker 3: involved that I thought the best thing to do was
- 1:42Speaker 3: to put the whole strange story.
- 1:44Speaker 2: In a letter to Sherlock Holmes.
- 1:47Speaker 3: This I did, and I can imagine how he chuckled.
- 1:51Speaker 5: When dear old Watson ms to feel little out of
- 1:56Speaker 5: his depth. My dear Homes, I need your help, or
- 2:00Speaker 5: at least your advice. Two days down here and I've
- 2:03Speaker 5: become involved in the most unusual problem again this morning,
- 2:06Speaker 5: when Mary and I were out an out to breakfast stroll,
- 2:08Speaker 5: the summer shining, the birds were singing, and there seemed
- 2:11Speaker 5: every indication of it being a happy.
- 2:18Speaker 3: You know, Mary, I've always thought up to now that
- 2:20Speaker 3: barn it was rather.
- 2:21Speaker 2: A silly word.
- 2:23Speaker 6: I still do, John, Dear.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Nevertheless, it's the only possible word to describe the day
- 2:27Speaker 3: like this.
- 2:29Speaker 6: Very well, Dear, it's fame personally. I'm so happy to
- 2:31Speaker 6: see you relaxing that I don't care what the weather's like.
- 2:34Speaker 6: You've been working much too hard. A busy year, yes,
- 2:38Speaker 6: and last year I shared it home. Its monopolized most
- 2:40Speaker 6: of your time. At least I've got you to myself.
- 2:42Speaker 6: For one.
- 2:45Speaker 3: Always been half as jealous of my association with Home.
- 2:49Speaker 6: Not jealous, dear, But I must confess his influence on
- 2:52Speaker 6: He wasn't entirely for the good. He had a habit
- 2:54Speaker 6: of peeping you out all night.
- 2:56Speaker 3: You should be used to that, dear, after all, it
- 2:58Speaker 3: happens often enough, been my practice to John.
- 3:00Speaker 6: But on those occasions I know where you are and
- 3:02Speaker 6: don't worry about you. And again, you've copied so many
- 3:05Speaker 6: of mister Holmes eccentricities, keeping your tobacco in a Persian slipper,
- 3:09Speaker 6: for instance. And oh, John, look down? Do you see
- 3:13Speaker 6: that woman walking across the field towards her? You know,
- 3:17Speaker 6: I'm not sure, but I think it's Ellen Warburton. I
- 3:20Speaker 6: believe she does live somewhere near here.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Who is Ellen Warburton?
- 3:23Speaker 6: An old friend of mine? She's fright, really clever in advanced.
- 3:27Speaker 6: She's interested in women's suffrage and all sorts of things.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Sounds dreadful.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Imagine giving women the right to vote her places in
- 3:33Speaker 3: the home.
- 3:34Speaker 6: It is Ellen, Ellen Eara Anna Warburton. Oh, how are you?
- 3:43Speaker 4: Very nice to see you again.
- 3:44Speaker 6: I'm Mary Watson. Now this is my husband.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Are you doing miss Warburton?
- 3:48Speaker 4: How do you do?
- 3:50Speaker 2: Mary?
- 3:50Speaker 4: I'd heard that you'd married. Aren't you a medical detective
- 3:54Speaker 4: or something?
- 3:54Speaker 6: Mister Watson not quite dear to.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Hold a degree of Doctor of Medicine from the University
- 3:59Speaker 3: of London, Madam.
- 4:01Speaker 6: But he's helped the great Sherlock homes on many of
- 4:03Speaker 6: his capes.
- 4:04Speaker 4: That's how I've heard of him.
- 4:05Speaker 1: There.
- 4:06Speaker 4: Do you mind if I walk with you a little way?
- 4:08Speaker 2: Of course?
- 4:09Speaker 7: Not Ellen, come along?
- 4:10Speaker 2: Heard you live near her? Miss Wooden?
- 4:12Speaker 4: About four miles away, Doctor Chevy Grange, I'm a glorified
- 4:16Speaker 4: housekeeper for my.
- 4:16Speaker 3: Uncle, Colonel Walberton.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Oh dear, that sounds rather dull for you. As a
- 4:20Speaker 4: matter of fact, the state of my uncle's health at
- 4:22Speaker 4: the present moment makes it anything but dull for me.
- 4:25Speaker 4: That's why I asked if I might walk with you
- 4:27Speaker 4: for a way.
- 4:28Speaker 6: Well, what's the matter with him, Ellan?
- 4:30Speaker 4: He's going mad before my eyes and I can do
- 4:33Speaker 4: nothing to.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Help him mad. Come to miss Wolton.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Doctor.
- 4:38Speaker 4: I'm not an hysterical girl. In fact, I regard myself
- 4:41Speaker 4: as something of a scientist. I studied physics for a
- 4:43Speaker 4: number of years at Bristol University, and I tell you
- 4:46Speaker 4: that my uncle is going insane on the symptoms. Most
- 4:50Speaker 4: of the time he's perfectly normal. But when he's a
- 4:52Speaker 4: tax aeronim, he gets in the most frightful rages and
- 4:55Speaker 4: says the strangest things. He's even complained of hearing a
- 4:59Speaker 4: shrill been whistled that comes out of nowhere. I can't
- 5:02Speaker 4: hear it, not can anyone else. But Uncle gets into
- 5:05Speaker 4: the most dreadful state. I wonder would you have a
- 5:09Speaker 4: look at him for me? Doctor Watson, John will do
- 5:12Speaker 4: everything he can. Thank you so much. Then, supposing you've
- 5:16Speaker 4: both come over.
- 5:20Speaker 5: This evening, we found ourselves approaching Chevy Gray. There's rather
- 5:24Speaker 5: a forbidding looking place, covering with.
- 5:25Speaker 7: More than an acre, I should say.
- 5:28Speaker 5: As we stood waiting for admittance, I must confess that
- 5:30Speaker 5: I was not an Italian.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Roomy looking place, isn't it me?
- 5:37Speaker 4: It's a little forbidding John, Dear, Oh, dear?
- 5:41Speaker 8: What's the.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Sounds like a tom tom?
- 5:45Speaker 3: Someone singing a weird chun seems to be coming from
- 5:49Speaker 3: the direction of that barn over there.
- 5:51Speaker 6: It doesn't seem quite appropriate, Dear, does it?
- 5:53Speaker 8: I mean?
- 5:54Speaker 6: Not in the heart of fucking of chair?
- 5:56Speaker 4: Why not n coming door again?
- 5:58Speaker 3: John?
- 5:59Speaker 6: Perhaps they didn't he did.
- 6:06Speaker 2: Who is it?
- 6:08Speaker 9: Oh, it's yiss, it's.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Doctor and missus Watson, my good man.
- 6:12Speaker 7: He has the name, sir.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Come in please.
- 6:18Speaker 2: The colonel's expecting you, sir. He's in the study this way, sir,
- 6:24Speaker 2: by the way, Hacker.
- 6:25Speaker 3: As we were waiting outside the front door, we heard
- 6:27Speaker 3: a strange chance and it sounded as if someone was
- 6:29Speaker 3: beating a tom tom.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Oh, that's that was missus Nader hearing more of a.
- 6:40Speaker 5: From the beginning let's see what happened next. There's a
- 6:44Speaker 5: very unpleasant fellow hacker showed us into the study where
- 6:47Speaker 5: we met Colonel Roberton Thursty.
- 6:49Speaker 7: Was hard to believe that he was a sick man.
- 6:51Speaker 5: He looked well enough and his conversation was sprightly. Spent
- 6:54Speaker 5: most of his army life in Africa as military governor
- 6:57Speaker 5: in a Zulu district, and the Afghans fears and other
- 7:00Speaker 5: trophies that lined to study walls born mute evidence to
- 7:03Speaker 5: his past life. He encouraged me to tell him some
- 7:06Speaker 5: of my own army experiences.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Yeah, very wrong.
- 7:14Speaker 3: I was Warburton on the holder of this wretched elephant
- 7:18Speaker 3: river was a raging torrent and I couldn't get the
- 7:20Speaker 3: confounded animal to budge.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Well.
- 7:22Speaker 3: I'm a pretty strong swimmer, you know, on several cups
- 7:25Speaker 3: of swimming. As a matter of fact, of course, I
- 7:26Speaker 3: was much younger.
- 7:27Speaker 6: Man there, Dear you interrupted, Colonel Warburton's.
- 7:31Speaker 3: Story for instant would be interesting.
- 7:34Speaker 6: I do go on, Colonel, You're sorry you were telling
- 7:38Speaker 6: us that you were intercepted by an African drum code metic.
- 7:41Speaker 8: Oh yes, yes, but I don't want to sound conceited.
- 7:44Speaker 8: But I doubt if there was another Englishman in the
- 7:46Speaker 8: world who could have told you what those particular drum
- 7:48Speaker 8: beats made.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I don't doubt that, Colonel woverden Felt.
- 7:51Speaker 8: I spent a good number of years studying the native customs.
- 7:54Speaker 8: I spotted the code right away. It meant that an
- 7:56Speaker 8: uprising was planned to start broughout the whole province at
- 7:59Speaker 8: noon the next day.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Of course, I there it is again, a devilish whistle.
- 8:04Speaker 8: Can you hear, doctor Watson, Missus Watson, I can hear nothing?
- 8:09Speaker 2: Huh no can I? Of course not? No one could
- 8:11Speaker 2: hear it but me.
- 8:12Speaker 3: No, no, no, Now, Colonel Warbton, don't get so excited.
- 8:15Speaker 2: It's black magic, That's what it is.
- 8:16Speaker 8: Realize that the powers of jungle witchcraft are completely unknown
- 8:20Speaker 8: in this country, doctor Watson. But I know of them,
- 8:22Speaker 8: and I can think of many people who might wish
- 8:24Speaker 8: to employ them against me.
- 8:26Speaker 6: Come in, Come in.
- 8:29Speaker 8: Oh it's you, Nada.
- 8:32Speaker 3: Great Scott, she's she's very beautiful, Nada.
- 8:36Speaker 8: I want you to meet some friends of Evans, doctor
- 8:39Speaker 8: and missus Watson.
- 8:40Speaker 9: I am very pleased to meet both of you.
- 8:42Speaker 2: How do you do?
- 8:43Speaker 3: How do you do?
- 8:44Speaker 8: Miss Nada's father was a Chagga Jeweler, one of the
- 8:47Speaker 8: greatest Zulu chieftains I ever had the privilege of knowing
- 8:50Speaker 8: he did need the rare honor to swear blood brotherhood.
- 8:53Speaker 8: So when the missionary is sent not at in England
- 8:55Speaker 8: to complete her education, I insisted that she spend her
- 8:58Speaker 8: first few months here under my way there.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Listen, what is it, Colonel?
- 9:02Speaker 5: That whistle a game?
- 9:04Speaker 2: Haven's sake? Say that you've heard it this time? Please
- 9:05Speaker 2: say that you did. I didn't hear things? Well I did,
- 9:09Speaker 2: and I know where that's how it came from.
- 9:10Speaker 3: And I put down that spare once with your colonel.
- 9:13Speaker 8: Kill me.
- 9:13Speaker 2: I'll kill them first. I don't try it.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Someone something at.
- 9:17Speaker 6: All, Uncle's great Scott the spare, mister barlynch whistle.
- 9:26Speaker 8: I heard it again, Ellen, Now I'm going to find
- 9:28Speaker 8: where it came from.
- 9:30Speaker 2: Poor uncle.
- 9:31Speaker 4: Of course you heard no sound, nothing, Ellen. What can
- 9:35Speaker 4: we do to help him?
- 9:36Speaker 3: Doctor Watson, well, it's hard the same as Warden. I'm
- 9:38Speaker 3: sure that medical helps what she needs.
- 9:41Speaker 8: Uh.
- 9:41Speaker 3: He seems perfectly saying and lucid except for these strange outbursts.
- 9:45Speaker 4: But we must do something.
- 9:48Speaker 2: I proposed to Madam as soon.
- 9:49Speaker 3: As I get back to the inn I think I'll
- 9:51Speaker 3: write to my old friend Sherlock.
- 9:53Speaker 5: Holmes and ask you, I can't feel that the man
- 9:59Speaker 5: should be committed an asylum and get obviously when these
- 10:01Speaker 5: attacks are enemies. As a matter that had well fascinating
- 10:06Speaker 5: problem and one of the course for speedy action, I
- 10:08Speaker 5: think a telegram to my friend Watson might help to
- 10:10Speaker 5: tellify some aspects of the case. You see, i've John H.
- 10:16Speaker 5: Watson red line in Taplow Bucks.
- 10:20Speaker 7: I suggest.
- 10:25Speaker 3: One important fact. Does the Warburton household.
- 10:29Speaker 2: Have a dog? Reply?
- 10:32Speaker 3: Homes on that's a cryptic answer to my letter.
- 10:38Speaker 6: Yes, here it is. I'm gonna paid Ellen, I'll be disappointed.
- 10:41Speaker 6: He's coming over to join us for lunch to see
- 10:42Speaker 6: if you have any.
- 10:43Speaker 2: New Well earth can dogs have to do with the case?
- 10:46Speaker 6: I can't possibly. Here's Helen now. Good morning, Ellen, good morning.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning.
- 10:52Speaker 4: I suppose it's too early to have received any reply
- 10:54Speaker 4: from mister Holmes.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Well.
- 10:55Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I just got this telegram
- 10:59Speaker 3: from him, if Red you like, I can't see that
- 11:01Speaker 3: it makes much sense Bett, but that's extraordinary.
- 11:05Speaker 4: I did have a little dog. He was killed a
- 11:08Speaker 4: week ago, but it didn't occur to me to tell
- 11:10Speaker 4: you about it yesterday?
- 11:11Speaker 6: Was that amazing? How could mister Holmes have known about her?
- 11:15Speaker 3: Little that Holmes doesn't know? My dear, how has your
- 11:18Speaker 3: dog killed this Morden?
- 11:20Speaker 4: I found him in the ground with his head smashed
- 11:22Speaker 4: in by a stone?
- 11:23Speaker 2: Or how dreadful?
- 11:24Speaker 7: What do you think?
- 11:25Speaker 4: It might have been a poacher? And then again it
- 11:27Speaker 4: might have been your uncle. It's possible when he's in
- 11:31Speaker 4: those rages. I don't think he knows what he's doing.
- 11:34Speaker 2: That's very important.
- 11:35Speaker 3: I think I shall go and send Homes a telegram
- 11:37Speaker 3: at once.
- 11:38Speaker 2: Don't wake lunch for me.
- 11:57Speaker 6: Why did they have to walk over to the station, john, dear?
- 12:00Speaker 3: See if there was an answer at the station telegraph
- 12:02Speaker 3: office for the while that I sent Homes.
- 12:04Speaker 6: Oh, it's only pour thirty, dear, it's hardly possible. Point
- 12:06Speaker 6: abounded as quickly as that. In any case, they delivered
- 12:09Speaker 6: the telegram to the hotel you Now.
- 12:11Speaker 3: It was a nice walk manner. Hello, there's a train
- 12:13Speaker 3: in the station. Now, I wonder where it's from.
- 12:16Speaker 6: Why don't you ask pep porter?
- 12:17Speaker 5: Yet?
- 12:19Speaker 2: A porter? What trains it? Oh? It's the London train, sir,
- 12:23Speaker 2: Right on time? Next top ready? Not many people getting
- 12:28Speaker 2: over her other.
- 12:29Speaker 3: Great Scott, Look who's here here?
- 12:32Speaker 6: It's mister Holmes and he's got a dog on a leasha.
- 12:35Speaker 2: What hello, how are you? This is what?
- 12:38Speaker 9: And how nice to see you again?
- 12:39Speaker 3: Thank you, I have.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Relighted your hair, old fellow.
- 12:41Speaker 3: We walked to the station to see if you'd answered
- 12:44Speaker 3: my telegram, and here you are in person.
- 12:47Speaker 5: That occurred to me that i'd be down here in
- 12:49Speaker 5: the same time that it would take a telegram to
- 12:50Speaker 5: reach you, and I decided that a day or two
- 12:52Speaker 5: in the country.
- 12:52Speaker 7: Would make a person change.
- 12:54Speaker 5: Apart from the fact that Colonel Roberton's problem interests me enormously.
- 12:57Speaker 2: We wanna you bring a dog?
- 12:59Speaker 5: I thought that this was the case in which a
- 13:00Speaker 5: dog would be of invaluables. Be careful, John, yes, look out,
- 13:04Speaker 5: old Jeff.
- 13:04Speaker 7: I think it would be said, I not Paddy.
- 13:07Speaker 5: I pick him up in the Milian Road for a
- 13:09Speaker 5: couple of florine and I hear he's a dog which
- 13:11Speaker 5: should have.
- 13:11Speaker 7: Remained in London.
- 13:12Speaker 5: A singularly unattractive nature seems to have been entirely ruined
- 13:16Speaker 5: by an ass train ride person.
- 13:19Speaker 3: Broke, isn't it by the way home? What do you
- 13:22Speaker 3: make of the case from my little.
- 13:23Speaker 5: Well, I should prefer to reserve my judgment till I've
- 13:26Speaker 5: met the colonel.
- 13:27Speaker 7: However, I will about say one opinion.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Oh what's that?
- 13:31Speaker 5: The paraphrase a proverb. Don't disbelieve all you don't hear?
- 13:47Speaker 3: Well? I can't think why someone doesn't answer. They can't
- 13:50Speaker 3: all be out.
- 13:52Speaker 2: The dog up to his feet.
- 13:53Speaker 7: But I don't want arrive too much commotion.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Quiet.
- 13:57Speaker 6: Don't you think perhaps we could.
- 13:59Speaker 8: Try the door?
- 13:59Speaker 2: Jun Yeah, certainly is a good idea. Hello, hellos, I'm locked.
- 14:03Speaker 7: Let's go in, old fellow, Let's go in.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Colonel Warburton.
- 14:10Speaker 3: Colonel Warburton, Ellen, what was the name of that butler?
- 14:15Speaker 2: Was a hacker? Hacker?
- 14:18Speaker 7: Hacker to be in an empty house?
- 14:21Speaker 2: The doc food that I am.
- 14:23Speaker 7: I shouldn't have let him. You come on, Ah, we're
- 14:32Speaker 7: too late.
- 14:33Speaker 6: The poor dog he's been killed, yes.
- 14:35Speaker 3: For brute, stabbed to death by one of the colonel spears.
- 14:39Speaker 3: That proves it, Holmes, The man is mad.
- 14:43Speaker 7: I think not watching it.
- 14:44Speaker 5: I think it proves that Colonel Warburton is a great
- 14:46Speaker 5: deal more saying than some of the members of his household.
- 15:00Speaker 1: You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just
- 15:02Speaker 1: a few seconds. Time for me to remind you that
- 15:04Speaker 1: there's one secret every smart woman knows. Simply, good wine
- 15:09Speaker 1: makes good food taste better. And buy good wine naturally,
- 15:13Speaker 1: I mean Petrie Wine. Try a Petrie wine with your dinner.
- 15:17Speaker 1: If you want a wonderful red wine, try Petrie California Burgundy.
- 15:22Speaker 1: If you want a perfect white wine, try Petrie California
- 15:25Speaker 1: saw turn. If I try them both, you'll agree. I'm
- 15:29Speaker 1: sure that next to your good cooking, nothing can do
- 15:32Speaker 1: more for a meal than a glass of good wine,
- 15:34Speaker 1: a glass of Petree wine. And now back to tonight's
- 15:45Speaker 1: new Sherlock Holmes Adventure, the story of Colonel Warburton's Madden.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Homes. Why are we hitting for this farm? Seems to
- 15:57Speaker 2: maybe we should be back in the house.
- 15:59Speaker 7: Who chat?
- 16:00Speaker 5: Found the house empty? Besides, I thought I heard.
- 16:06Speaker 2: What is it? Listen it's the same sound that Mary
- 16:11Speaker 2: and I heard yesterday.
- 16:13Speaker 7: Once more, it's coming from the barn.
- 16:15Speaker 9: Come on, watch me quietly. We can see through this
- 16:26Speaker 9: window here.
- 16:28Speaker 2: It's that Zulu girl Ladder. She's beating a drum and chanting.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Was the man with her the colonel woman?

- 16:46Speaker 3: This is the colonel said, Let's go in and catch
- 16:47Speaker 3: him red.
- 16:48Speaker 7: Hello, stay quiet, Let's talk to him soon enough.
- 16:53Speaker 5: The moment, I feel it's a much more urgent if
- 16:55Speaker 5: we find Colonel Warburton.
- 16:57Speaker 10: Come on, there's the colonel facing up and down in
- 17:13Speaker 10: front of the house with Mary and his niece.
- 17:16Speaker 2: Miss Warburton.
- 17:17Speaker 3: We shouldn't have left the women alone with him, and
- 17:18Speaker 3: now the man's dangerous.
- 17:19Speaker 7: I don't think the women have been in any danger.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Watson.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Well Holmes and I decided we do take a little walk.
- 17:26Speaker 3: It proved very interesting, Miss Warburton. This is mister Sherlock Holmes.
- 17:30Speaker 4: How do you do, mister Holmes. I'm so glad you're.
- 17:33Speaker 5: Here, Miss Warbton.
- 17:34Speaker 2: And this is Colonel Warburton.
- 17:35Speaker 8: Mister Holmes, Eh, I suppose you think I killed your
- 17:38Speaker 8: wretched dog.
- 17:40Speaker 7: Well, I might have done it.
- 17:41Speaker 8: And I hear that whistle, something seems to snap in
- 17:43Speaker 8: my brain.
- 17:44Speaker 7: I might have killed it.
- 17:45Speaker 8: Why doesn't your doctor friends certify me as insane? Send
- 17:48Speaker 8: me where I belonged before.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I do what he wants em.

- 17:54Speaker 8: Do for him?
- 17:54Speaker 7: Mister Holmes, I certainly will try to, Miss Warbon. What's
- 17:57Speaker 7: no fellow? I wonder if you follow the colonel and
- 17:59Speaker 7: give him a sedative. I'm afraid he has quite not
- 18:01Speaker 7: deal with boy this Roberton. Where were you when my
- 18:07Speaker 7: dog was killed.
- 18:08Speaker 4: Down in the greenhouse. As soon as I heard the
- 18:10Speaker 4: poor animal helping, I ran up to the house.
- 18:12Speaker 6: I see, mister Holmes, you are going to be able
- 18:14Speaker 6: to help the colonel, aren't you.
- 18:16Speaker 5: I'm convinced of it, missus Watson. That is why I
- 18:18Speaker 5: brought a dog withiness in London. But now that he's dead,
- 18:20Speaker 5: I must obtain another one before I can proceed further
- 18:23Speaker 5: the case.

- 20:11Speaker 5: None, missus Watson? Otherwise I shouldn't have borrowed her. I'm
- 20:14Speaker 5: convinced that Bulgem will give us a clue to what
- 20:16Speaker 5: appears to be Colonel Warburton's madness.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Now let me see you.
- 20:30Speaker 5: We're all here, Miss Warbarton, the Colonel, Miss Nada, Hacker,
- 20:32Speaker 5: and the dog Bullgem. Yes, now, ladies and gentlemen, I
- 20:35Speaker 5: propose to conduct an experiment. Before I conducted, I should
- 20:38Speaker 5: like to point out the chronology of events in this case. First,
- 20:41Speaker 5: miss not arrived here.
- 20:43Speaker 4: Mister Holmes, you're not suggested a pleased?
- 20:45Speaker 7: Let me finish, Miss Dada.
- 20:46Speaker 5: First, Miss not arrived here.
- 20:47Speaker 7: Second, the Colonel.
- 20:48Speaker 5: First heard the mysterious whistle. Third, your dog was killed,
- 20:51Speaker 5: Miss Warbarton. Both the whistling set in in dead earnest Uh,
- 20:56Speaker 5: the Colonel Woberton and miss Warbitton doesn't that and suggest
- 21:00Speaker 5: anything to you?
- 21:01Speaker 4: No, I can't say that it does.
- 21:03Speaker 8: Mister Holms, you don't see what you're driving in.
- 21:06Speaker 2: We should be more well then I will.
- 21:08Speaker 5: I shall now conduct my experiment. I once more to
- 21:11Speaker 5: watch Colonel Woberton and the dog. Boojem, excuse me while
- 21:15Speaker 5: I turn my back, ah.
- 21:20Speaker 2: Dirtous again? That whistle the dog? What does it mean?
- 21:29Speaker 7: It being the fi wooden whistle in my hand?
- 21:31Speaker 5: Is the answer to the mystery that aren't made by
- 21:32Speaker 5: this cunningly designed instrument? Is about the normal range of pitch?
- 21:35Speaker 5: You see, the colonel has hypersensitive ears. If the dog
- 21:38Speaker 5: heard it, perhaps I should have said the normal human
- 21:40Speaker 5: range of pitch.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Didn't You?
- 21:41Speaker 6: Suppose someone has deliberately been trying to drive the.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Colonel man coss man. That's why the dugs were murdered.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Whoever it was you that a.
- 21:48Speaker 4: Dog would give the game away, And it's not hard
- 21:49Speaker 4: to guess who that someone is.
- 21:51Speaker 8: Nada.
- 21:52Speaker 4: This started when you came here. Is this your gratitude
- 21:55Speaker 4: for the Colonel's kindness to you, endangering his sanity with
- 21:58Speaker 4: your evil black magic?
- 22:00Speaker 2: That is not true.
- 22:01Speaker 8: One.
- 22:01Speaker 7: I'm a Christmas Wrobdon is not her?
- 22:03Speaker 5: Yes, Dr Watson, and I watched you in the band
- 22:06Speaker 5: Something to Courts an while ago with Hacker. Were you
- 22:08Speaker 5: engaged in practicing any form of black magic?
- 22:11Speaker 4: Ooh, I was praying to my old guards to save.
- 22:15Speaker 1: The current of sanity.
- 22:16Speaker 3: What were you doing there, Hacker? Don't tell me you
- 22:18Speaker 3: were praying to all gods too. I used to be
- 22:20Speaker 3: a chapel going man, so I don't know no harm
- 22:23Speaker 3: in trying something new, I always say.
- 22:25Speaker 5: In the case, why should Misnada wish to persecute the colonel?
- 22:28Speaker 4: It might be for some tribal revealed.
- 22:29Speaker 8: That's ridiculous element her father, and I wish one blood
- 22:32Speaker 8: brother exactly her.
- 22:33Speaker 5: No, it should be obvious who had a motive for
- 22:36Speaker 5: making the colonel a Pierre mad his.
- 22:38Speaker 7: Niece and heiress.
- 22:39Speaker 5: What do you mean he has studied physics, you will remember,
- 22:41Speaker 5: and so could know about super sonic research. Possibly ship
- 22:45Speaker 5: was afraid the Colonel might leave his a state it
- 22:47Speaker 5: was not, and so wished him to appear insane and
- 22:50Speaker 5: thereby invalidate And you will in any case, I found
- 22:53Speaker 5: this whistle in a drawer in your room miss robardon
- 22:56Speaker 5: er Erin, Oh, could you I did.
- 22:59Speaker 4: It for your sake, to save you from Nada. She's
- 23:01Speaker 4: just an adventuress, only you won't see it.
- 23:04Speaker 5: On what action you wish me to take regarding your niece,
- 23:06Speaker 5: Miss Walberton, my niece, I have no niece, Mister Holmes,
- 23:11Speaker 5: I'm not a my dear.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Oh, an amazing case home, man. It wasn't trouble. The
- 23:29Speaker 3: way home solved it.
- 23:30Speaker 6: It was very interesting, dear. I was quite enthralled.
- 23:33Speaker 5: Now I think I will return to London and let
- 23:35Speaker 5: you too finish your holiday in peace.
- 23:36Speaker 6: Before you do that, mister Holmes, there's one thing we
- 23:39Speaker 6: should do. Go jump we promised you.
- 23:43Speaker 5: Now, yes, yes, of course, of course. I think the
- 23:45Speaker 5: three of us might walk her home. But before we
- 23:47Speaker 5: do that, I suggest we rummage still the kitchen. The
- 23:50Speaker 5: kitchen nor for owns, dear exactly, and burns with plenty
- 23:55Speaker 5: of meat on them
