  Speaker 1: And now I'm sure our good friend doctor Watson is
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: ready for us.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Let's go in and join.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: Come in, Ah, there you are, mister Bartell.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Good evening doctor. Are you already with the night's new
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: sheerlock Ons adventure?
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I am ready? If you are the boy? How would
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: you like to hear a story that took place in Italy?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: In Italy, say you?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And the Great cherlock Holm certainly did get around?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: What took you there? Doctor?
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: We've gone to Rome to investigate the sudden death of
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Cardinal Tosca, an inquiry which I may tell you, mister Bartell,
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: was carried out by Holmes at the express desire of
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: his Holiness, the.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Pope, Say, doctor, that sounds like a well known o
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: mister Bartell. That's the story that I'm afraid I can
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: never tell you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: However, tonight's adventure took place a few days after Holmes
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: had brought his case to a satisfactory, though somewhat terrifying conclusion.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I suggested to the great Man that a short holiday
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: would be good for us before returning to England, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: so we spent some happy days browsing among the architectural
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: treasures of old Rome.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: The Colosseum, the.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Baths of Caracalla, the Forum, the wonderful ruins on the
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: Palatine Hill. I couldn't drag homes away from the mister Bartel,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: and at nighttime he was able to indulce to his
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: heart's content, his great love of music. Finally, it was
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: two nights before we were to sail for England. I
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: remember we went to the opera house to hear the
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: famous Italian soprano Gina Valcazy singing bared his immortal l traviata.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: I can hear that exquisite voice now, mister Bartel, as
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Holmes and I seated in a box, listened spelled down
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: to the great Valcazy singing her last day.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: What a voice, Watson, what a magrificent boy, Yes it is, Holmes.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: A pity though, that most opera stars who seeing at
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Nightingale seemed to have the figures of.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: An usually well fed powder pigeons. Poor woman, she must
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: weigh at least twenty stone. Nevertheless, you mustn't refer to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: her as poor, my dear chap. Despite her somewhat unfortunate proportions,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Signora Gildavalkse remains one of the greatest and wealthiest of
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: contemporary supanos. Listen to real clause, I say, I'm not
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: admitial second uncore, you might as well go back to
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: addressing room. Now the opera's almost over.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: Why are we going back to the addressing because during
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: the last intervision I received a note from her requesting
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: my attendance.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Oh what did the notes say? Well, it seems that
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the lady is not too popular with certain numbers of
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the opera company. Well, I had no wish to become
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: entangled in any opera clashed temperaments, I confess I find
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: myself not a little interested in meeting the lady. She's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: interesting an uncore, Are.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: You really going back to her dressing a summons from
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: you know these years no more to be disobeyed than
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: our royal command.

  Speaker 5: happy to meet you both at headquarters. I hear wonderful

  Speaker 5: reports of your work and the guidenal Tosca.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I shoul prefer not to mention that unfortunate matter, Inspector,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: except on the conditions of extreme privacy.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Are quite so, and behind the scenes that the opera
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: is not the most secluded place.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Please to forgive me. You are waiting to see laval Cases.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: She is still on the stage. She has requested your presence.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: You say in your hand, yes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I trust the meeting is to be a social and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: not a professional one.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Where sailing for England in a couple of days, and
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: you came to hear the great Arcsa singer before you left.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Most understand a magnificent voice. Inspector, Yes, a doctor and
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: still well. I am a devote opera over myself. Yet
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I cannot help but feel it's a futuralizer.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: With those who can add the youth and youth into
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a great voyage. That's true truth in your But where
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: can you find such a combination? I have found it
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: here in the opera. There is a girl. She is
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: my protegee. Someday I hope she will be my wife.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: The moment she is only understudying labar Casey. If she
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: should ever get to the opportunity of seeing her her place,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: then a new star will be born.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Really, what's her name? Lisa Bordoni.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: She has but recently come to Rome from Milano, where
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: she studied with the great Alfaerra. Confidentially, I think that
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: lab Casey is so jealous of all that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Here is Lisa now, and that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Is her brother with her, Lisa Karma pleaser to join us,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: by George, What a beautiful girl?

  Speaker 3: many times I've read your stories, Doctor Watson.
• 5:50

  Speaker 5: voice Liza, our future hope and the opera.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Your they will comely, Sam Mia, Your they will come soon.

• 6:08
  Speaker 6: understandy Gina Valcazy, I don't see when I'll get my chance.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: She's disgustingly healthy. If you're brought my saying so, young lady,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: your name is BORDONI you and your brother don't sound
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: at the least Italian.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: We're not, mister Holmes, We're American. But to succeed in
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Italian opera, my sister has found that an Italian name
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: is essential, so the Bordon family became the Bordonis.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: In any case, my real name is Lizzie Borden.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I'm here you, mister Holmes, is a famous detective. We'll

  Speaker 5: I do not understand the you Anglo saxons to me,
• 6:54

  Speaker 2: Visit to the opera, and again about cases, saying 'l
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Dan Rigoletto up on my soul, Homes.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: It seems to me that you're astonishingly caresual after the
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: way that woman insulted you last night, slamming the door
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: in your faces.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: If you were a tradesman, shocking, what would you have
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: me do, my dear chap, force my way into a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: into a room, demand an apology, or have my friend
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: challenge her to a duel in order to avenge my honor. Oh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: don't try to be funny, Homes. You know perfectly well
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: what I mean. The lady asks you to come and
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: see her, and when you do, she pretends she's never
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: heard of you.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: And here it is nearly twenty four hours later, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: you've done absolutely nothing about it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Dear old Watson nearly quite upset over the affair, aren't
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: you well? If it will make you any happier, let
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: me tell you what I have done something about it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: I'm delighted to hear it. What This morning I was
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: able to obtain a specimen about our cases handwriting from
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: an autographed picture in the possession of Inspector Biline. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: compared the writing with that on the note and I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: that I received in the box last night it was
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that it was the same, proving that the message I
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: received was authentical. In that case, why did she snub
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you like that? Well? Something was to fight her, I
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: suppose something or someone who was standing at the dressing
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: room door with us. Well, who was the respecta Bellini,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Lisa Bordoni and her brother. Therefore, we may assume that
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: love Alcaze had no wish to recognize me, and they
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: are presents. But if you think that, hold, why haven't
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you been in touch with her today? She may be
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: in some dreadful Nay, if she is, she can find
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: me easily enough. I meanwhile, I'm perfectly happy to pet alone.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: The last few weeks have been sufficiently strenuous without becoming
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: involved in some fresh case. My so homes, you must
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: be tired. I've never known you to be so indifferent
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: to a case. Great Scott, while it's Watson. Look walking
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: towards Signora vel CAZy herself and judging from the latest expression,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: she seems to be in some distress. Could you mean, Sigela,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I'm not to speak. This is my colleague, doctor Watson.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: How do you do? First?
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: I must apologize for not yeah, the last night it
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: would have been a dangerous If that casey, I'd acknowledged
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: that she had to communicate with you.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: That's just what my friend assumed. Adams speak quite felly
• 10:08

• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Please, I gotta say someone even thing now.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: It must be your imagination. I am sorry to make
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: such a scene, but I cannot appear to be near
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a cat. I cannot tell you what it DoD to me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: May it sound no, No, not at all, Senora. Such
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: a condition is quite common. In fact, I believe medical
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: science has given it a name. It's known as Alora Povia.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is it called. It make me ill. I
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: must go to my room. I cannot stand much more,

  Speaker 2: my poor I imagine with your sister death door, Signora,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: you will not sing tonight, sing your arms.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: I love her very much, but even as sister is
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: only a sister, my art is my life. In an hour, singer,
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: I sing Hilda in a rigoletto. You will attend the performance,
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: and afterwards you will tell a love at Casey, how she.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: May trap this devil who seek to destroyer?
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Oh Holmes, it's after nine point thirty. We've missed quite
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of the opera. How they was going to above?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Now just been time to hear at our case he
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: sing the incomparable kronomy let's slip in the quite as
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: we can. Seems to me we should have been in
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: our box from the beginning of a performance. She asked
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: you to keep an eye on chan. But it occurred
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to me that an attack on her during the performance
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: was unlikely, and that our time might be more profitably
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: spent thinking inquiries of the writing academy. She drew a blank.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: We fell no trace of that mysterious writer. No, but
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: at least we tried. Here we are, let's stand at
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: the back of the theater forty minutes, Great Scott, that
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: isn't our cases singing. It's the understudy. But helese protaghe
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: the American girl. He's a Bodoni. What a beautiful life one,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: but with a beautiful, wonderful range. But yeah, we have
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: no time to listen to her. Now we must go
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: to the dark cases dressing them at once. We know
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: she left the theater tonight with the intention of singing,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I'm very much afraid there's the devil's work of what Watson?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Why on earth doesn't she answer? Listen? Cats inside her
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: dressing room. Come on, Watson, lock pt your shoulder to it.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Come on, help me, Come on? What's more? Come on?
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: What's there? Fights? Cout? She's unconscious, Watson, See what you
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: can do for her. She must have think of the fights. Yes,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: some fiend knowing her deadly fear of cats as lucks
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: her in here with half a dozen nothings shore shore
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: on shore. Her eyes are opening homes. She's coming to
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: sor Varse. Her lips are moving. She's trying to speak,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: sor tell me who did this to you? Hu, greats heavens.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Her voice is gone. I've known many vicious crimes in
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: my lifetime, Watson, but to murder her voice, a boy
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: that was one of the treasures of the world, is
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: as by a killing as I've ever encountered.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Doctor Watson will tell you the rest of his story
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in just a few seconds. And right now would be
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: a wonderful time to try a glass of Petrie California
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: port in the evening after dinner, well, anytime you're taking
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: things easy, is the perfect time for petre Port. Petre
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Port is a rich red wine, the kind of wine
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you like to sip slowly so you won't miss a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: drop of its truly fine flavor. I'm not kidding when
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: I say you owe it to yourself and your family
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: to try petri Port. In fact, you should try pet
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Report and Petrie Muscatel. So don't buy one, buy two,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: buy both Port and Muscatel. Just be sure you get Petrie,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: because Petree wine is always good wine.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Well, Dr Watson saw the great.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Opera They gonna lost her voice when someone locked in
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a room full of cats?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Huh, what did you?
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: And Sharlock Holmes dough We took Senior Valcazy back to
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: her hotel at once and saw that she was properly
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: taken care of.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: How did the understudy, Lisa Bordoni make out? Doctor?
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: The tragedy that overtook Clark Valcazy gave her her great chance.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: She received a tremendous ovasion at the close of the performance,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: and it seemed certain that another star had been born.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: But let me tell you the story just as it happened,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: mister Bartel. A little later that night, Holmes and I
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: were once again standing on the balcony of our hotel,
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: watching a crowd of people that had assembled in the colture.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: You see that crowd, Watson, Yes, I suppose they've come
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: here to proclaim the news stuff.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Oh no, my dear fellow, that crowd isn't planning a celebration.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Look at them and listen to their angry murmuring her afraith,
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: there's going to be trouble. R. I don't like to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: look at it. Oh. Here comes Lisa Bord and his
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: brother Wally. What trumk, sir, mister Holmes, mister Holt, You've
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: got to do something. What's happened? Well?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Somehow the story about the cats and lave val Casey's
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: dressing room is spread the crowd outside her, saying that
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: my sister Lisa planned the whole thing so that she
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: could sing all Casey's part in.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: The opportunity of her sister.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Now in a room at the hotel here, I managed
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: to get her away from the crowd and I locked
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: her in.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: But the mob, I'm frightened. Ah. Here comes the official
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: representative of law and daughter and inspected bilin Waale. Where
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: is Lisa? I was just telling mister Holmes that I'd
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: locked her in a room and that crowd's in a
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: dangerous mood. Belina, what precautions you're taking?
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: I ever thrown a card on of police around the hotel.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: The mob is getting out of her hand, and Lisa
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: must be protected. As a matter of fact, the situation
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: is even worse than.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: The crowd knows.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: I have just been thought that Lava Case's twin sister,
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Bella died.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: In the hospital to night, that I had some murder charge.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: If the crowd knew about that, I tremble to think
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: what might happen? Did you see that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: Casey's sister was a twin inspector in your homes? She
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: was a horror exactly double in everything but voice.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Indeed, how very illuminating. If you don't mind, I s
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: I have a few words in private with my friend
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: doctor Watson excuses for a moment. What do you make
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: of at homes? Why are you a check? Well?
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: The American girl seemed very charming and all that, but
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: she might have done it. It had to be either her,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: her brother, or the inspector himself. They all had a
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: motive for wanting lav bel CAZy to lose her voice.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: But I must say I can't understand the motive behind
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the murder of her to insist.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: I think I can give you the answer to that
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: question in a very few minutes. But meanwhile, the mob
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: gets uglier and uglier. The only way to avert violence, Watson,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: is to give them quick proof and a certainty of conviction,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: and just go back to Bilini and the young American,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: and I want to keep an eye on them. Meanwhile,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I want you to slip out and get me a cat.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Cat fo You'll find out soon enough. What kind of
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: a cat?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Any kind? But hurry, Come on, kittie, kitty, Come on, kitty.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: There's a good kitty.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, here, what you're doing a hotel kas Seor
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: you want to play with my cat?
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Oh? Is he your cat? Charming little fellow. I'd like
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: to borrow him for a little while. Why you want
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: to borrow my cat? Why? I thought i'd take him
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: up to my hotel room and have a little game
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: with him. I'm not some old socks he can play with.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: Deal the English at a crazy race. My cat does
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: not like to play with the old socks.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Look here, he has fifty lire for you.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: Oh no, no, no, I tell you my cat does
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: not like to play with the old socks. My cat
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: would stay here and you can keep it your money.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I give you a halfred a leer so that you
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: may stuff my cat full of old socks. No, no,
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: give me back my cat. Oh that crazy is with you.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: You'll get it back there. Stuff him, stub him, the
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: crazy englishman. He's stealing my cart.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Well, I've got a cat for your homes but I
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: wish you tell me what we're doing outside val CAS's
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: door with it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I'm going to try an experiment. You open her bedroom
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: doors softly, so slip the cat in so and close
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the door. Homes Man, what the places you think you're doing?
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: You don't drive her mad.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: I think not.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Listen and watch through the keyhole if you can Holmes voice,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: it's come back. Yes, I thought it might.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: I can see her through the keyhole. She's picking the
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: cat up by the scruff of its neck. She's walking
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: toward the.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Balconyes, and towards the crowds down below. An excellent opportunity
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: for a public confession. Come on, come up, what do
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: you want? I charge you with the murder of your sister,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: the great singer about Kissy.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: If there was a magnificence inior homes a magnifson. The
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: way you force her to confess on the balcony in
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: a full side of the.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Mark, and so you saved Lisa.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: I can't thank you enough, mister Holmes, No can I,
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: though I still don't see how you guessed.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: She looked so much like a sister that she fool
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: even me her understand Yes, it was an extremely cunning plot,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: mister Donay. The real Valcase sent me that note last night.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: When I met her at the dressing room door, she
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: denied having sent for me because the three of you
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: were there, I suppose as she suspected one of us. Oh, yes, obviously,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: and Lida no doubt. She told her twin sister, Bella
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: and about having sent me the message, and also announced
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: her intention of coming to see me. Bella saw her
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: opportunity murdered. Lavalcase assumed her identity, and to give added
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: realism to her role, followed through with her sister's plans
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: by coming to see me today.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: But I still don't understand this business, mister Holmes. Why
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: did the twin sister lock herself in her dressing room
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: and fill it with cats.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: What did it accomplish? It gave me the chance to sing,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: That's true, which is why Watson felt certain the criminal
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: must be you, your brother, or senor Belline. But you see,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the episode of the cats accomplished one other thing. It
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: made it plausible that the great Falcase should never sing again.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: To whose advantage would that be an impostor, of course,
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: a person or a twin sister who could not sing,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: and who must surely end her sister's great things. Exactly,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: my dear fellow. As soon as I knew they were
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: twin sisters and everything, but voyce it became more than
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: a possibility. It became probability. But it had to be tested.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: That's why I sent for the cat, Watson. When the sister,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: thinking herself unobserved, exhibited no terror for cats, well it
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: became a certain day on my soul. This is as
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: fantastic a plot as ever. We've met a diabolical plan, Watson,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: and I'm only thankful, Miss Boudonney that we were able
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to expose it before the crowd reached you tonight. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: don't know what I can ever do to repay you,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: mister Holmes. Oh that would be hard, my dear. A
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: box of cuff and garden for your London debut would
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: be well an ample repayment. And from what I hear
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: of your reception in Brigolletto tonight, I shan't have to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: wait very long for that rewards.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: Excuse me, please, All over the hotel I look up
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: for my cat, I say to myself, jeez, he's stealing
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: my cat. He's picked up alder. You arrassed him. He
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: tried to bribe him, and he run away from my
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: cat and feeling full of old English salt.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Oh Goshi, we are.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Doctor id you like to have a picture of you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: running away with that fellow's cat?
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: On dear, you a cat stealer? You know a bit funny,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: mister Bartle. Believe me, it was most.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Embarrassing, I know, but it was all for a good cause,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and I think you were splendid about the whole thing.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Incidentally, how do you having to look for a cat
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: in the hotel kitchen? There's usually one round the back
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: door of a kitchen. Haven't you ever wandered well the
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: backstage in the hotel?
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Fascinating?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Of course I have, but I've never been in a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: hotel kitchen, then where were you and the wine sell it?
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: I should have known, I guess, doctor.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I like to look at bottles of Petrie wine because
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: when I see a Petrie wine, I know I'm looking
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: at a good wine. And Petrie wine is good because
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: of the Petrie family. The Petrie family first started making
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: fine wine before the beginning of this century generations ago.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Since then, wine making has been their heritage, hand it
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: on down from father to son. So you can take
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: it for granted that the Petrie family really knows how
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to turn luscious, sun ripened grapes into clear, fragrant, delicious wine.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: And you can take it for granted too, that the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: name Petrie on a bottle of wine is more than
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a trademark.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: It's the personal assurance of.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: The Petrie family that every drop of wine in that
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: bottle is good wine. You just can't go wrong with
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Patrick wine because Patrie took time to bring you good wine. Well,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: doctor Watson, what story are you planning to tell us
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: next week?
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Next week, mister Bartel, and I'm going to tell you
