  Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson. What's this adventure of the Uddington
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Witch all about?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Well, mister Harris, it took place in ninety nine. As
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I recall, Holmes and I were taking our ease at
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Baker Street one evening when we received an urgent and
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: certainly a bizarre telegram. It came from Uddington, a town
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: in the shore of Lanark in the Lowlands of Scotland,
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: and it was from a Lord Dunbar, master of Heathercliff Manor.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It begged Holmes to come to the manor with all
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: possible speed.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Stating that a witch had spirited away his.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Mother in the dark of night. A witch exactly, mister Hills,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: A witch that really. Holmes's curiosity was immediately aroused and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: we resolved to take the noon train.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: The following day. But little did we know.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: As we read the telegram that tragic events were already
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: in the meeting at Uddington on that very same evening.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It began with Lord Dunbar in his study.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Who's there? Who's there? Bruce Hes, Why ladies don't you answer?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And I locked my door? Someone has to disturbed me. Well,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: what do you do you? Hi? Wait too morning? Hi?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Can't you bring me the dad. I'm the Weekend r
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Bru's nephew. Did you hear that scream?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Yes, I was in bed when it came positively ghastly
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: too seem to come from a Glanders study.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, Bruce, please honey, something wrong, terribly wrong.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Let's have a look. Here's the study, a Glandro a
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: Glandro Bru. There's no answer, then we better look in good.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Doors open right, good lord, the witch's revenge.
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Andrew few homes.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I was wondering when you were coming back to the compartment.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Our trainers du and Dnington very shortly.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, my dear Watson, they're too late to help Lord Dunbar.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Too late. What do you mean. I've just seen a
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: copy of a Newcastle newspaper for the board of the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Land Station. Lord Dunbar was murdered early this morning. What
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: foully murdered? Watson found dead in his study with a
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: steel spike driven through his heart to spike, good law.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Does this method of murder suggest anything to you? Wantson
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: why why? No homes. I can't say it does, and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: you're not up on your Lord of demons and witches.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: My dear fellows, it so happens at the witches as
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: recently as two hundred years ago, are believed to have
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: tortured and stabbed their victims with pins, needles, and sometimes
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: small by good health. It may also interest you to know, Watson,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that the history of Lord Dunbar's antecedents gives this macabre
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: affair a rather grim and yet fascinating twist. What do
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you mean? An ancestor of Lord Dunbar's in the last
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: seventeenth century was one of Wisdom's most mortal enemies. As
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: chief Justice of the highest Court here in the Scottish Lowlands,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: he hanged many a which at Gallo Lee, or tied
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: them to a stake on his hands until the tide
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: came up to end their misery homes. You're not suggesting
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: that this is some kind of witches re There I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: need suggesting nothing, Watson, until I have a look at
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Heltot Manner and its remaining inhabitants, Say driver, by sir,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: when shall we arrive at Heathoquot Manner.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: If you look shut yonder you'll see the lights of
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: their crusted house just beyond that wood.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: You think it has some sort of cursing?
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: Hey, sure, his my name is Angus Tavish. It's surely
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: haunted by the black ones. Do you see that wood
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: now days?
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: What about it? Tammish?
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: Was there the Chief Justice pot William than Barr burned
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: the famous witch Isabella Whitburn to say she's follow twite a.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Chest of his and hid it somewhere in the wood.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: She was just cooked to sea and dealt in the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: black magic.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: It was there among those threes the witches meet for
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: the Sabbath on Rumor's Day. Hi, but you'll never catch
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: Angus Tavis. Take in the wood road for the black
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: Witch of Harnington Rooms. I'm driving you the long way
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: to run the moor.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Can't say I'm blame him. Homes. It's juice and dark,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and among those trees, I must say, good.
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: Lord, what's the costage? Watch Fish is cleaning and carrying
• 4:56
  Speaker 8: on again, Tamish, quick driver through the wood road, and
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: none of us got a piper in. I wouldn't take
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: that road, even if you give me the treasures, just
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: the black witch fallen by?
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Come on, watching, let's get out of the carriage. Homes,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: What on earth are you going to do? Follow me?
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Run man, run and luck with us. Perhaps you can
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: beard this witch in her d? Who's that? Who's there?
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Hold cly out what you fool? Oh it's you, hope? Yes?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Did you almost wing me with that propaperance? Tell you know? Oh?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Dah it all? I'm sorry. The truth is I'm in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a terrible sweat.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I've been running through this foul wood, expecting every every
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: shadow and every trees leave an attack.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Heard any more about screaming and tackling? What's that? Comes?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Funded witch must have retired with the night homes. It's crazy,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: very strange. We covered every foot of this wood, it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: only a few hundred feet in every direction. It's no
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: sign of our cackling friends, I might say, Holmes, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: be just as happy I never see it. Even the
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Black Witch of Huddington, with all her magical powers, couldn't
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: banish into thin air so fast. And that mania, cauled
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: cackling seemed to come from this grove of oak trees here,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I'd say it came from hades homes. That jus, it
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: sounds as though you were being tortured and burned. Some statement.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The terrifying effect watsmon and well calculated to keep the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: curious away. Come onton, But where do. Now, suppose we
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: go to the house and meet its occupants. I take
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: it to you are Bruce Lennox's nephew to the deceased.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's Holmes, I am, and you have no idea
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: where to relieve it is to have you and doctor
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Watson here.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I knew my uncle had written you, and might I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: might add, we arrived in the most unorthodox manner, with
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the small wood in the rear of the hun has heard.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: The most terrified I'm calculing and screaming. There mister Glennick
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: couldn't find the trace of the dihed witch.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I know, thankly, gentlemen, I admire you for your courage.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I can't myself as brave as any man and not
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: addicted to superstition, but either one never had the nerve
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: to answer that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Would at night. Well, I can't say I blame you
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: much now that mister Glennick a question or two.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's home.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Had the official police been there, Yes.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: This morning, but the local concipace found nothing, conducted only
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a hurried investigation. I am afraid he is as much
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: frightened by the legend as anyone else.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Perhaps, but at the moment I'm not interested in legends,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: but in facts. This chain of tragedy, I understand, began
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: with the disappearance of your great aunt, Yes, God.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Done By's mother. She disappeared from her room a few
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: nights ago, and she said nothing of a stint.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: You think then that she was taken by this, this
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: black witch of Huddington.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know, mister Home. She might have just wandered
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: off my great Emily. Well she will, shall we say
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: somewhat waves to Blennith. Oh she kept muthering to herself
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: living in the past. Definitely unbalanced, doctor Watson.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: But as far as I know, completely harm I see
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: now then are there any servants here of the manner?
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Only two? The rest have been frightened off. Guabi too,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Cook and the gardener and Lady Dunbar where she as
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: like to talk to her?
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorrying to him, but I did not advise it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Now Lady Dunbar is in her room and it's burg
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: the shock understand.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Quite And now, mister Glennick, we should like to examine
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the body of your late uncle, Lord Dunbar.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Good Lord Holmes, what a ghastly say, No wonder, Young
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Glennick excused himself to Normandy showed us to the study
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: hair A sharp spike driven directly into Lord Dunbar's heart.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Yes, and with considerable sprink by my dad Watson. What's this?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: What's there? Seems to be some fresh soil on the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: lower part of this fickle spike, fresh soil, pike, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: observe what's in the peculiar shape of this spike, long
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: and narrow, and the remlant of a bit of a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: spring attached to the spike head. Well, I can't say
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I consider all this significant, Hose, you know what? Oh,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: come in, Mary Whitson the cook.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: Yes, mister Blennie roused me from my bed to prepare
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: a hot copper for you.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: You'll find it in the dining room when you have
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: a nine two week hick.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Mary will be along presently as you wish, sir,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: h Rather peculiar coincidence, don't you think? What's do you mean? Home?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I mean this cook, Mary Whitburn. There's the same family
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: name as the Isabella Isabella Whitburn, the black Witch of Addington.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: By jove, Hose, you're right a remarkably ugly woman too.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Is that mole on her cheeky? That mole on her
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: cheek another peculiar coincidence. What do you mean In the
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: days when Witchcraft put it it's heyday, Watson, every witch
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: bore what was called a witch's mark, and usually it
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was a mole. Homes you mean this cooked man hYP
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: them might be the bet. Too earn it to draw
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: any conclusion as yet, my dear Watson. But come to
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: have a look at the garden. The garden, what for
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I should like to examine the flower bed Ah, look here, Watson, Holmes,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: one of yustus, I surmise. Note these spikes connected by strings.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: The gardener uses them to take off these flower beds.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: By jove, the spike used to kill Lord Dunbar's very
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: similar to this, and it had fresh.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Soil on its Spicely, my dear Watson, the murdered spike
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: was undoubted it taken from the garden. Perhaps we should
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: have a talk with the gardener here at our earliest opportunity.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Saton came from the house this time and hers it
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: sounded like a feature and torment.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: Hoose the second flaw of the house.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: The night's just gone out in the corner room there
• 11:04

  Speaker 2: Well, mister Harris. We raced back to the house, ran
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: upstairs toward the corner bedroom. Whence that agonizing stream had cut.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: It was there we found Lady Dunbar lying across the

• 13:57
  Speaker 2: She's banished again.
• 13:59

• 14:02
  Speaker 1: juice are you staring at that large oak tree, Watson,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a magnificent specimen. I did not note the huge trunk
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: split toward its base. Obviously a dead tree stuck by
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: lightning many years ago. Okay, at Homes, I'm not interested

  Speaker 1: and the witch's name, the packed and left in the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: uplot table rather strange, isn't it her on the country? Watson?
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It's quite logical by jove homes the witchy game? Yes,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and this time what's from the chase draws near to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: a close? This time before goes well, I hope to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: meet this hideous witch face to face. Come Watson, back
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: into that grove of tree hose, that infernal cackling stopped
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: has indeed, but the moon has emerged and we shall
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: be able to see humph, here we are. Here's that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: giant oak tree again? What's the one killed by lightning?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: What about it? The lightning splitted at the trunk? Nope,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: this aperture here.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I still don't see why you're so interested in this
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: confounded oak tree patience.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: What's impatience? I'm willing to wager this tree trunk is hollow,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: if you'll put your hand through the aperture and tell
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: me very well hose. I'll do that, you know, but
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: all this is rather silly. Oh what is it? What
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I felt? Something? Well? Pick up man, what it's something cold?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: So it's like a human body? Yes, one side button.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Let me look into that trunk. Uh huhm. There is
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the body stuck into this tree front, Watson, good Law,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the body of a woman, an old woman, and undoubtedly
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the lady elder Lady Dunbar, Lord Dunbar's mother and first
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: victim of the black which you're budding to no hoses.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: This is diabolical, It's devilish, yes, Watson, We're dealing with
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a highly distorted and curlly twisted mentality here. I wats
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: this hose. Note the way the roots of this tree
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: are curled upwards in the earth. A turn. Yes, I'm
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: willing to wager that when the lightning struck this oak,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: it created a natural cavity under the base of the tree.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Homes what are you driving at the final answer to
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: this weird adventure. Come, Watson, we'll go back to the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: gardener's cottage and get an axe, and in a very
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: short time this great oak should reveal its secret.
• 19:42
  Speaker 11: Ah, hold on, Watson, you'll stop here where we can
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: observe that oak tree.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: There's a hose. You said we were going after an ax. Huge,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: my dear, wats into the sea. We'll wait until that
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: tree reveals the secret of the man who's been posing
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: as the Black Witch of havingdon the man. Hose you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: mean the Black Witch is a He precisely wants him
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to be even more explicit. I am able to name
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the hideous murderer.
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: Hose?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Who is it?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: What?
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Watson? Look at the aperture in that tree, by choose,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that's a hend. So someone's crawling out from within the tree.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: You're above already, what says as I do? Then he
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: comes out of that tree, Hose.
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: It's Bruce Clinic, poor clinic, stumping out tracks. Come on, Watson, hose.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: He's still running hard the way, Watson.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: To kill the prayer a shop wake him the leg?
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: How is he? What's unconscious of the moment, Holmes, is
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the pain?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: You know, there's nothing serious, just a flesh would he'll
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: come around in a minute, Hols, How did you know
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: that the witch was a man?
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Elementary, My dear Watson. It needed a man's strength to
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: drive those fiendish murder spikes so deep, and indeeded the
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: agility of a young man to hurdle a four foot
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: ten with kirton as we saw the witch do is.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: But how did you know it was young Glenneck? Here
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: to be no one else than Glennick. You remember he
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: told us that he never entered this wood, that he
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: was in bed at the time of Lady Dunbar's murder. Yes,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: obviously he lied the fact that the creest was missing
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: in his trousers from the knee to his books. The
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: proof of that the only way he could have lost
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: that creast was running through high brush soaked with night view.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: And the only high brush in the area is among.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: These tree By jove, Holmes, You're right, he couldn't have
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: lost the trees up to his knees by merely running
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: across a lawn. But how you knew the witch, young
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Glennacre was using that hollow oak tree as a hideaway.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Again an elementary observation, Watson. We pursued the witch and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: lost him twice in the small area of trees. He
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't have simply vanished among the trees. Therefore, he must
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: have been inside one of them. The bit of mask
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: found in Lady Dunbar's room was oh, I see, and
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: after that it was merely a case of looking for
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a hollow oak tree large enough to directly Watson. This
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: tree is unique in that respect. Furthermore, brute Snick tried
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to divert suspicion to McCready the gardener by using the
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: gardens quite as murder weapon. Yes, but that bloodstain on
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Macreey's slee quite legitimate. Watson, the same as old and dry,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: and it's dark red color indicated that it had been
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: on his tree for some days. You know, Dok did
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: kill a wheel, as he said. And the cook, Mary
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Whitman merely a terrified servant for the name fairly common
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: to the vicinity and an unfortunate mold. I can't say
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I blame her for leading to taste. Our friend Vennick
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: is coming around, Yes, so is Holmes.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Why should young Glennick murder the members of his family
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: one by one?
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I think we may find the answers to that. My
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: dear Watson, when we execute our original errand and chop
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: down that a cursed oak tree almost fit mcldin hei,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: mister Holmes, there.
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: She goes, Watson. Have a look down that deep hole
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: of the base, good lord Homes. It's a great natural
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: cavity there, the hiding place of Bruce Glennick. There's the
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: witch's costume that he used exactly.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Kennick had merely to enter the hollow tree trunk and
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: slide down to the natural cavern formed by the upturned
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: roofs below. Pose.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Look, there's an old chest down there with a cover raised,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: and it's still with money.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Duel. Here's what's in the chest of the original black
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Witch is a bellow Whitburn, sold from her master, the
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Chief Justice, Lord William Dunbar, and then she hid it
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: here this tree back in the seventeenth century. Precisely she
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: died with her secret, and Bruce Lennix discovered it. And
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: there you had the motive for his steamish Seve Watson.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: He intended to murder his family one by one so
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: that he would find it remains the whole heir of
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Helocote manner, and then he could claim the treasure for
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: himself exactly. But at the grim and appropriate end of
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: this witch's tale, Watson, Ruth Fennick is exposed, but he'll
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: still suffer a witch's fate on the end of a
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: good Scottish ropel, Doctor Watson, that was an exciting adventure.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Seems to me, I'll be hearing screams and cackering in
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: my sleep for the rest of my day.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, mister heris e but now I occasionally see that
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: shadowy figure racing across the lawn toward.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: That dark wood. I must say.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: However, as the case left no after effects on Holmes,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: he had the ready faculty of forgetting one adventure and
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: plunging immediately into another.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And what is next week's story, Doctor Watson. It's called
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the Logic of Murder, and it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Concerns that expert anthonivasions of the laws and a rolltest
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: news they developed by a gentleman who had performed six
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: thousand autom
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: So doctor Watson, we'll be waiting eagerly to hear your
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: adventure with mister Holmes about the Logic of murder.
