Speaker 1: And now I'm sure our old friend doctor Watson's expecting us.
0:04
Speaker 1: Let's tap on his study door.
0:08
Speaker 2: Good evening, Doctor, Good evening, mister Bartell.
0:11
Speaker 3: Come over here, by the far, I was just having
0:13
Speaker 3: a cup of coffee. Would you care to join me?
0:15
Speaker 2: Thanks, that'd be nice.
0:17
Speaker 3: It will prevent you falling asleep during my story tonight.
0:20
Speaker 2: There's no chance of that, doctor.
0:22
Speaker 1: From the hints you gave us last week, it sounded
0:24
Speaker 1: like quite a story. It began in a circus in Paris,
0:27
Speaker 1: you told us.
0:28
Speaker 3: Hees my boy, the circus, a colorful world of sawdust
0:32
Speaker 3: and spangles. The world, mister Bartel, that I may tell
0:35
Speaker 3: you confidentially, always held an irresistible fascination for me when I.
0:40
Speaker 2: Was a youngster, me too, doctor.
0:41
Speaker 3: In fact, when I was eight years old, I fell
0:44
Speaker 3: desperately in love with a lady bareback Rider, a stunning
0:48
Speaker 3: creature who wore pink silk tights with gold sequins on him. Unfortunately,
0:53
Speaker 3: my mother caught me writing her proposal marriage. And I'm
0:56
Speaker 3: afraid that it's another story, and one that you probably
1:00
Speaker 3: wouldn't find very interesting.
1:01
Speaker 1: I'm sure I would, doctor, but I think it'd be
1:04
Speaker 1: safer to stick to your show like Honstership.
1:06
Speaker 4: Probably right, my boy.
1:07
Speaker 3: Well, it was a winter in the eighteen nineties and
1:11
Speaker 3: Holmes and I were in Paris, last second day there.
1:14
Speaker 3: Holmes suggested we attend that night's performance of the Sir
1:17
Speaker 3: Royal Leaders to remark. I was delighted, mister Bartell, And
1:21
Speaker 3: shortly after nine o'clock that night I found myself seated
1:24
Speaker 3: by besides Holmes in a box near the ringside.
1:28
Speaker 4: It was an incredibly vivid scene, even.
1:30
Speaker 3: For that city of color and light. The gay costumes
1:33
Speaker 3: of the women and the gaudy trappings of the ring
1:35
Speaker 3: masters and towns looked like a giant teidoscope under the
1:39
Speaker 3: blazing glare of the art lamps. As we sat there,
1:42
Speaker 3: a brass band nearby blared forth some popular music of
1:46
Speaker 3: the day, And yet he didn't appear to be enjoying himself,
1:50
Speaker 3: And so I leaned across and touched it up.
1:58
Speaker 4: What is it, Watson? Been a quiet homes? Aren't you
2:01
Speaker 4: having a good time? Good time? Hoist?
2:03
Speaker 5: First world Chapan is just wondering where mister Edwards is.
2:06
Speaker 5: Mister Edwards, who's the extremely distinguished plant?
2:09
Speaker 4: Mister meet us in this box at nine o'clock.
2:10
Speaker 3: Class So this little excursion was on business after all
2:14
Speaker 3: years I might have known it.
2:15
Speaker 4: No money or fellow.
2:16
Speaker 5: In your case, I think you'll be able to combine
2:17
Speaker 5: quite a little pleasure with the business.
2:19
Speaker 3: Can't you be a little more explicit?
2:21
Speaker 4: Homes it comes the ring master, say.
2:30
Speaker 3: Loss far not all the bedet to see her, Mademoiselle
2:36

2:49
Speaker 3: back ridder, don't you have?
2:51
Speaker 5: And fans her hellow. She also has quite a reputation
2:53
Speaker 5: as a fen fittal. Three duels have been fought over her.
2:57
Speaker 5: A young English articer on and the Grenadier guards committed suicide
2:59
Speaker 5: last year because of that, and a famous French banker
3:02
Speaker 5: is a present languishing in prison because had extravagances drove
3:05
Speaker 5: into appropriate funds that did not belong to him. Yes, Watson,
3:09
Speaker 5: she's an extremely colorful personality.
3:10
Speaker 4: You Her home is the funny thing.
3:12
Speaker 3: When I was eight years old, I fell violent in
3:14
Speaker 3: love with a lady bareback rider. She woked pixel tights
3:17
Speaker 3: with golden sequence on him.
3:19
Speaker 4: But unfortunate.
3:38
Speaker 3: Homes, she's as looking the way she's jumping from the
3:41
Speaker 3: back of one horse to the other shere purtry of motion.
3:45
Speaker 3: Lady appeals to Watson by George is indigen In fact, Holmes,
3:48
Speaker 3: I don't mind telling you if I weren't a married man.
3:51
Speaker 4: And yeah, you're like to court the lady.
3:54
Speaker 5: Yes, excellent, that's the very reason for our attendance.
3:58
Speaker 4: Of Heaven's name.
3:58
Speaker 3: You're talking about homes, how they are?
4:01
Speaker 2: Good evening, mister Edwards, How is my dear fellow?

Speaker 5: Excuse me, sir, I am mister Microft, and this is
4:12
Speaker 5: my friend, Sir William nightjel William Knight.
4:15
Speaker 6: Of course, of course, and I am mister Edwards. We
4:18

4:22
Speaker 3: Well, I am extremely honored to meet you.
4:25
Speaker 4: You're mister Edwards.
4:26
Speaker 6: How do you like Chazelle? Isn't she a stunning creature?
4:30
Speaker 2: Indeed, the follow us.
4:31
Speaker 5: To have suppered together after the performance to Night, I
4:33
Speaker 5: understand the stream.
4:34
Speaker 6: Well, Unfortunately I can't be there, Micraft. There's some chopid
4:37
Speaker 6: affair at the embassy which I have to attend. We
4:39
Speaker 6: must postpone the dinner until tomorrow.
4:41
Speaker 5: Very well, sir, come over to my hotel.
4:43
Speaker 6: A little early and we can discuss the whole business personally.
4:45
Speaker 6: I think a lot of fuss is being made about nothing. Now,
4:56
Speaker 6: if you all excuse me, gentlemen, I'm just go back
4:58
Speaker 6: and see Chazzelle for a moment and tell her that
5:00
Speaker 6: I can't keep our appointment for tonight. I'll see you tomorrow.
5:02
Speaker 2: Micraft, good night, sir? Will you good night?
5:04
Speaker 4: Good night? Not at all?
5:08
Speaker 2: If Sally lejeans and asks you, now.
5:13
Speaker 3: Holmes, what's all this mystery? That was mister Edwards? It
5:15
Speaker 3: was the Princess Watson be indiscretionable fellow.
5:18
Speaker 5: Mister Edwards, as you know, is extremely democratic, too much
5:21
Speaker 5: so possibly if when one considers his position and responsibilities,
5:24
Speaker 5: he's become quite seriously involved with Mademoiselle.
5:27
Speaker 2: Giuselle and their back rider who has just left the ring.
5:30
Speaker 4: Ah, so that's it.
5:31
Speaker 2: The far enough is quite naturally. I suppose he is
5:32
Speaker 2: deeply concerned over the matter, and.
5:34
Speaker 5: I've been entrusted with the delicate mission of protecting mister Edwards.
5:37
Speaker 3: Who does youse gerroon. They know that his true identitatious birth.
5:41
Speaker 2: That's the first thing that we have to find out.
5:43
Speaker 5: It's possible that she is simply captivated by having a
5:46
Speaker 5: rich Englishman at her feet. If, one other hand, she
5:49
Speaker 5: knows who mister Edwards is, then we may be in
5:52
Speaker 5: for a grated of trouble.
5:53
Speaker 4: How are you going to find that out.
5:55
Speaker 5: By tempting her with a richer Englishman and one with
5:58
Speaker 5: a title idea? Bellow, where is why you are sir

6:15

6:17
Speaker 5: an introduction.
6:33
Speaker 3: I must say, Homes the backstage life of the circus
6:36
Speaker 3: is even more colorful than in the ring.
6:38
Speaker 4: What makes you say that?
6:38
Speaker 3: Over the well, I just saw a pinhead having tea
6:41
Speaker 3: with a bearded lady while a thought swallower was standing
6:44
Speaker 3: behind him practicing his act.

12:16
Speaker 4: More Champagne got on.
12:23
Speaker 3: We need you ask that you hit somebody more Champagne.
12:35
Speaker 5: So you do thingleaving ername as mademoiselle suron day, come
12:53
Speaker 5: into the evening performance.
12:54
Speaker 7: Yet here's me germs. I escorted her to a dressing
12:57
Speaker 7: woman half an hour ago and mission edward. She's in
13:00
Speaker 7: there with her now. At last, it seems she has
13:04
Speaker 7: used for a poor policeman. Last night she found a
13:07
Speaker 7: threatening letter on her makeup table. Since then she has
13:10
Speaker 7: been most grateful for my company.
13:12
Speaker 2: A threatening letter. Any idea who might have sent it?
13:15
Speaker 7: Pooh, yes, of course, I'm afraid I have misurs. I
13:18
Speaker 7: told her to pay no attention. By the perfume of
13:21
Speaker 7: the notepaper, I recognize the center a jealous tightrope walker
13:25
Speaker 7: called Yvette Mara. Oh, poor Evet, she would make a
13:29
Speaker 7: very inferior criminal. I'm afraid still. Giselle asked me to
13:33
Speaker 7: stay outside the addressing room till the performance that you
13:36
Speaker 7: wish to see her.
13:37
Speaker 5: Yes, Oh good evening, miss breadber evening, mycraft evening specta
13:40
Speaker 5: common seas.
13:42
Speaker 6: Look here, my craft. I think this little game has
13:44
Speaker 6: gone far enough. Roselle just refilled another invitation of mine.
13:47
Speaker 6: Now I know who Sir William Nigeli is. Now I
13:49
Speaker 6: swear I'll tell her.
13:50
Speaker 2: Don't you think so?
13:51
Speaker 4: That the lady is hardly worth bothering about?
13:53
Speaker 5: Surely this whole incident with Sir William proves that she's
13:56
Speaker 5: a scheming little adventuress. A fictitious title and apparently bottomless
14:00
Speaker 5: purse have shown her up and her two colors.
14:02
Speaker 7: I could have told you the same thing without such
14:04
Speaker 7: an experiment, my friends, Well, last person.
14:06
Speaker 6: Write Micraft, I've been a fool an idiot. Well that's
14:09
Speaker 6: a pretty ankle. Turned his head a conceited.
14:11
Speaker 7: Don't head letters just say, monsieur, that you have been
14:15
Speaker 7: a man.
14:16
Speaker 4: Who do you think so?
14:17
Speaker 5: To believe it?
14:18
Speaker 3: Just going back to see yourself for a moment. I
14:20
Speaker 3: promise these flowers for her.
14:22
Speaker 2: I'll be back in a job for just a minute.
14:23
Speaker 4: Watson. I I hate to dampen your other old chap,
14:28
Speaker 4: but the.
14:28
Speaker 2: Masquerade is ended.
14:29
Speaker 6: And then what do you mean it is no longer
14:31
Speaker 6: necessary for you to impersonate Sir William Nigel or to
14:35
Speaker 6: pay court to yourself.
14:36
Speaker 3: Oh really, really well, absolutely great relief, so great belief.
14:41
Speaker 3: I hate the whole visits.
14:42
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, I'm sure you have.
14:44
Speaker 4: We appreciate the sacrifices that you've made, can't be sure?
14:47
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, indeed, well I must go back and see
14:50
Speaker 3: her once more. Though we had a ronivou for tonight,
14:52
Speaker 3: and I must canceled a jump any thing to do?
14:54
Speaker 4: You know, I would be eminem.

Speaker 4: man may strike a fiery do.
15:18
Speaker 7: Not cause any more trouble. Fary, on what I've been told,

15:23
Speaker 4: What happened to you?
15:24
Speaker 1: Here? He come?
15:24
Speaker 7: Now?

Speaker 4: She's dead.
15:35
Speaker 3: She's lying down in a dressing room, strangle.
15:37
Speaker 7: Strangled, and only half an hour ago I spoke with
15:41
Speaker 7: her myself. Since then, I've been standing in this corridor

Speaker 7: guarding your door at your own request. Only two men
15:49
Speaker 7: have vented Detail's dressing room since then, you, miss you Edwards,
15:54
Speaker 7: and you, Sir William Nigel.
15:55
Speaker 4: What are you suggesting by?
15:57
Speaker 7: I am suggesting nothing. I am stating that these two
16:00
Speaker 7: gentlemen aren't arrest for suspicion of murder.
16:12
Speaker 1: Doctor Watson's unusual story will continue in just a few
16:15
Speaker 1: seconds time. I'd like to take to remind you that
16:18
Speaker 1: one wine that seems to be the outstanding favorite among
16:21
Speaker 1: the ladies is Petrie California muscatell. That's probably because, like
16:26
Speaker 1: a beautiful woman, Petrie Muscatel is subtle and intriguing. Petrie
16:31
Speaker 1: muscatel is the color of burnished gold, and it's flavor, well,
16:36
Speaker 1: it's the flavor of big, plump muscat grapes picked by hand,
16:40
Speaker 1: carefully and tenderly, and they're just full of wonderful, delicious juice.
16:45
Speaker 4: If you want to show that you really know the.
16:47
Speaker 1: Wine that women prefer serve, Petrie muscatell serve it out
16:51
Speaker 1: to dinner or later in the evening. It's wonderful, and
16:54
Speaker 1: why shouldn't it be. It's a petri wine. Well, doctor Watson.
16:59
Speaker 4: So you and the.
17:00
Speaker 1: Mysterious mister Edwards got yourselves arrested on suspicion of murder.
17:04
Speaker 3: Yes, it's about her, Holmes did everything is part of
17:06
Speaker 3: a straight Inspector Verney to release this, but it was useless.
17:09
Speaker 3: And so while mister Edwards and myself were languishing in
17:12
Speaker 3: detention cells, the local surtey Holmes and the French inspector
17:17
Speaker 3: were examining the dressing room of the dead woman.
17:21
Speaker 5: I'm sure, Inspector Aimee, that being as keen a detective
17:24
Speaker 5: as you are, you must suspect the two identity mister
17:26
Speaker 5: Edwards and of.
17:27
Speaker 7: Course martial arms. But that is the danger of incognitos.
17:32
Speaker 7: If he chooses to assume the identity of blame Michie Edwards,
17:35
Speaker 7: then he must on the lisks of blame.
17:37
Speaker 5: And you are convinced that either he or my friends
17:38
Speaker 5: strangled Mademoiselle's seronde of you, and I'll have to prove
17:41
Speaker 5: to you that they didn't let me examine the body again.
17:44
Speaker 5: You know, if she had been strangled by either of
17:48
Speaker 5: my friends, why would her body be lying here under
17:50
Speaker 5: the window.
17:51
Speaker 2: It's just fun away from the door.
17:52
Speaker 5: By which they left this room as possible.
17:54
Speaker 3: That was nothing.
17:55
Speaker 7: No, but it's odd, he said, was a strong girl. Well,
17:59
Speaker 7: they might easily have been a struggle. Perhaps she tried
18:02
Speaker 7: to get away through the window.
18:03
Speaker 5: And yet there are no marks of violence on her throat.
18:06
Speaker 5: Just this piece of very fine cord that did its
18:08
Speaker 5: deadly work. So Cleenney cut for the night.
18:12
Speaker 2: Please do not.
18:12
Speaker 7: Remove the cordners your rooms. The body has not yet
18:15
Speaker 7: me photography.
18:16
Speaker 4: You're very hard for me, aren't you. You notice, of
18:18
Speaker 4: course that the window is open.
18:20
Speaker 7: Yes, but we have examined the snow outside. There were
18:23
Speaker 7: no footprints within three years of the window. The murderer
18:27
Speaker 7: must have entered by the door that I was watching.
18:29
Speaker 5: Yes, it would be hard him, a professional acrobat to
18:33
Speaker 5: jump in a acrobat there me, your young friend Mademoiselle
18:37
Speaker 5: ybit my eyes a tight brope walker vet.
18:40
Speaker 4: But yes, she's certainly out about it.
18:42
Speaker 5: She even sent a threatening letter. I heard her express
18:44
Speaker 5: hatred and jealousy for this dead woman.
18:46
Speaker 2: It's conceivable that.
18:47
Speaker 5: She could enter a room by a window without leaving footprints,
18:51
Speaker 5: and the snow were washed at the time.
18:53
Speaker 4: Of the murder, I do not know.
18:55
Speaker 7: I was waiting for her in the corridor, and.
18:56
Speaker 5: I suggested we investigate her alibi at once, and after that,
18:59
Speaker 5: Inspector I must pay a visit to the Sulte. I
19:01
Speaker 5: don't want my friends to think that I've deserted them.
19:16
Speaker 5: Excuse me, sir, Yes, Holmes, and I paid.
19:18
Speaker 2: It looks rather black, as I was telling you, if
19:21
Speaker 2: that Mara.
19:21
Speaker 5: The tightrope walker was able to establish completely satisfactory alibi,
19:25
Speaker 5: then may still suspect you or dr Watch?
19:28
Speaker 7: Well, that's ridiculous.
19:30
Speaker 2: May I ask you a very straightforward question, sir?
19:32
Speaker 5: Of course, I can well understand that if you had
19:34
Speaker 5: gone into the dressing room and found the woman already murdered,
19:36
Speaker 5: you might easily be tempted to conceal the fact to
19:39
Speaker 5: avoid a scandal involving your person. Will you swear to me, sir,
19:42
Speaker 5: on your true identity, that she is always alive when
19:45
Speaker 5: you left her she was, Holmes, I swear it, Thank you, sir.
19:48
Speaker 4: That's all I wanted to know.
20:00
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm glad to see you. You know, I've been
20:02
Speaker 3: thinking all this depends on Vernet's evidence. But supposing he
20:06
Speaker 3: was a murderer, he told us that Gisell had turned
20:09
Speaker 3: him down.
20:10
Speaker 5: You know, I thought of that, But mister Edwards swears
20:12
Speaker 5: that Gazelle was alive when he left the room.
20:15
Speaker 2: And yet that means that mister Edward, Oh no, no, no, no,
20:19
Speaker 2: it's unthinkable.
20:21
Speaker 3: You're not suggest Holmes. If I thought that that were possible,
20:24
Speaker 3: I confessed to the murder myself. My life wouldn't matter
20:26
Speaker 3: if it did save it's cattle like that great Scott
20:29
Speaker 3: it it had shatter the empire.
20:30
Speaker 5: Dear old Watson, yours will not sacrifice yourself. You're as
20:35
Speaker 5: valuable a British institution as the line himself. No, my
20:37
Speaker 5: dear fellow, which will never sacrifice you, not while my
20:40
Speaker 5: mind is still capable of my mind.
20:43
Speaker 4: That's it. Thank you Watson. You've given me the answer, Holmes,
20:47
Speaker 4: what are you verbalation offello?
20:48
Speaker 5: In half an hour you'll be out of this cell
20:50
Speaker 5: and the real murderer will be in it.
21:01
Speaker 4: Questions questions?
21:03
Speaker 5: Why Mustyle Fiery answer so many questions because you will
21:06
Speaker 5: not tell the truth.
21:07
Speaker 4: You murdered Gesels your on day? How many times I
21:10
Speaker 4: have to tell you I did not kill her.
21:11
Speaker 5: Why should I want to armor because you were jealous,
21:14
Speaker 5: because she humiliated and tormented you.
21:16
Speaker 4: But I was not in a lasting room.
21:18
Speaker 2: I have already proved that fact.
21:19
Speaker 4: How am I amagiction that I can kill somebody without
21:21
Speaker 4: entering a room?
21:21
Speaker 5: And Gerry, I know how you killed Gieselson day without
21:25
Speaker 5: its necessitating your entering this room.
21:26
Speaker 4: And you're a smart man. Please do tell me.
21:29
Speaker 5: I don't need to tell you. With the aid of Verne,
21:31
Speaker 5: I'll show you open the window, Alfieri, what game is this?
21:34
Speaker 5: And well then I'll open the window myself. Put your
21:37
Speaker 5: head out.
21:38
Speaker 4: Come on. So who do you see?
21:41
Speaker 5: The inspect of ernestanding three yards away where you stood,
21:43
Speaker 5: and he's got your long training web.
21:46
Speaker 4: Don't know stand there?
21:47
Speaker 5: The inspector hasn't your skill with a whip, but he
21:50
Speaker 5: wants to try a little experiment.
21:53
Speaker 4: Holding empire.
22:11
Speaker 3: Well, mister, I am in well, sir, this is a
22:14
Speaker 3: present change from a prison zone, and it certainly is.
22:18
Speaker 6: Holmes, I can't tell you how greatful I am. I
22:20
Speaker 6: still don't quite understand how you did it.
22:22
Speaker 5: Watson in rather a round about waivers responsible for giving
22:26
Speaker 5: me the clue?
22:27
Speaker 4: Well on more than one occasional chap.
22:29
Speaker 5: I've had cause to deploy a rather florid style of
22:32
Speaker 5: writing tonight.
22:34
Speaker 2: I was very thankful for it.
22:36
Speaker 5: When I began to speak of the capabilities of my mind,
22:39
Speaker 5: suddenly I remember the phrase of yours which you referred to.
22:42
Speaker 5: It's whipped like rapidity and accuracy. That of course made
22:46
Speaker 5: me think about Pierry the animal trainer. Exactly how did
22:49
Speaker 5: he kill the poor Welza. He stood outside the window,
22:53
Speaker 5: far enough away to leave no incriminating footprints, called touchisel
22:57
Speaker 5: probably persuaded Adelina, then snapped the whip around her neck,
23:00
Speaker 5: pulling it tight and strangling out.
23:02
Speaker 3: And then I suppose he cut the cord and let
23:03
Speaker 3: the body fall back into the room.
23:05
Speaker 4: This nicely old fellow.
23:06
Speaker 5: We found a whip stock among his tackle and whipstock
23:09
Speaker 5: from which the lash had been cut. The stubber flash
23:13
Speaker 5: left matched the cord around the dead girl's throat.
23:15
Speaker 2: Amazing business.
23:17
Speaker 6: And I don't mind telling you, fellas, I'm very thankful
23:20
Speaker 6: to be through with it, so much.
23:21
Speaker 3: So, in fact, I wouldn't be all surprised of this
23:23
Speaker 3: whole instant cures me of my love of circuses.
23:26
Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't know you had a predilection in that direction.
23:28
Speaker 2: Oh yes, sir, yes, you don't mind my sayo.
23:31
Speaker 5: When he was eight years old, he fell in love
23:33
Speaker 5: with a lady bare back rider.
23:35
Speaker 4: Didn't you want to speak?
23:36
Speaker 3: Indeed, what happened Wilsa? I don't remember her name, but
23:40
Speaker 3: she wore pixel tights with golden sequins on them, and
23:44
Speaker 3: I wrote her a rather hot headed lequer. I watched
23:48
Speaker 3: it
