• 0:01
  Speaker 1: And now doctor Watson back to the lady who was
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: so interested in buttery.

  Speaker 2: Yes, it occurred while I was sharing lodgings with homes
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: at two twenty.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: One b Baker Street understension? Was ever really such an
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: address as two twenty one B Baker's Try?
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, this modern generation nothing but doubting Thomas's you know,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: would you believe it? There are people who go so
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: far as to suspect that Charlotte Holmes is nothing but
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: a figment.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Of my imagination.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: By sacrilege, doctor, It's worse than that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: So to silence all skeptics once and for all, I'd
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: like to read a small item from that guide book
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: to end all guide books, the well known Bedakers right
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: here on the first show somewhere Yes, Paris roam.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Here we are Bedecker's London and the.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Environs on Toby Baker Street is actually mentioned in bedicare
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Oh it is indeed?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, I have the page mark.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, just Melbourne Road, Queen Charlotte's Maternity Hospital. And I asked,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: not it Baker Street station? Yes, here we are Baker Street,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: chief thoroughfare between Oxford Street and Merlburne Road. Missus students
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: lived from eighteen seventeen till her death in eighteen thirty
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: one at number twenty seven Upper Baker Street House demolished tablet.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Lord Lytton, the novelist, was born at number sixty eight
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: in eighteen hundred and three tablet, and William Pitt lived
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: in eighteen hundred and two h four at number one
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty Tablet.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Sherlock Holmes also had rooms there.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Don't tell me there's no tablet at two twenty one
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: b doctor.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Although not yet give us time. After all, Holmes is
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: still mortal. Tablets are for the immortals, mister.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Harris Well, that certainly should settle any doubts about mister
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Sherlock holmes reality once and for all.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I certainly hope so well as I was saying it
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was in the good old Baker Street days, it was
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: rather lateship a gloomy afternoon. I remained indoors all day,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: for the weather had taken a sudden turn to rain,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and my practice wasn't too thriving at the moment. With
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: my body in one easy chair, my legs upon another,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I listened with growing irritation to Holmes as he practiced
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: interminable scales, rough lards, cassandos and what have you on
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: his violin. At last, the particularly screeching dissonance was more
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: than my frazzle nerves could bear, Holmes, must you do that?
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Calm yourself, Maria Watson, I was not responsible for that
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: last bit of cacophony is caused by the scraping of
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: a carriage wheel against our curb. Yes, we are about
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: to receive a client, a rather portly lady of means.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Unless I'm very much mistaken.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Or how can you possibly tell you haven't even bothered
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to look out of the window.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: The outraged creak of the carriage springs as its passenger
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: descended to the pavement indicates a person of substance. The
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: tap of French heels on the pavement indicates the person's
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: a lady, And the fact that the vehicle remained at
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: the curb indicates that it's either a private carriage or
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: a public conveyance that's been told to wait. Either eventuality
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: indicates a person of means.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: I swear I heard nothing except the first scrape against
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the curb.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: I must say, Homes, you have ears like a hawk,
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: Your metaphors a trifle mixed Maria Watson, But I accept
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: your tribute.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: Come in, mister Holmes, Mister Holmes, mister.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: S naturally this is my friend and colleague, doctor Watson.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Or how do you do?
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: Thank Heavens you're at home. You was dying with me tonight,
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: both of you. I may need a doctor as well
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: as a detective.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Interesting, I mean, what brings you to that rather startling conclusion?
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: I am in grave danger and you are the only
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: person who can save me.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: How madam, my husband wishes to be rid of me.
• 3:21
  Speaker 7: I am being poisoned systematically, cold bloodedly poisoned. That is,
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: I was until I had an old nurse of mine
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: to do the cooking and refuse to eat anything that
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: wasn't served to everybody in the house on a common
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: plate path or.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Turine, so that it poisoned me at preasant, all members
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: of your household would be in equal danger.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: Exactly, I'm no fool.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: How many members of your household are the missus?
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: I am, Madame de Pavan. My husband is Pubist A Pavan,
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: the famous violinist.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Oh yes, I've heard him in concept remarkable technique. They
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: tell me his chills compare favorably with Paganini.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: Oh, yes, Pubis is a great violinist.
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: If you've heard him play, you have doubtless also seen
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: my daughter, who plays accompaniments.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: My husband, my daughter to raise, and myself. There are
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: only three of us in the household. We are, I
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: may say, the eternal triangle. Pewis is infatuated with ter raise.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Well, really, your daughter, I gather, Madame de Pavanne is
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: the child of a previous marriage.
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: Yes, and no, as a matter of fact, is my
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: stepdaughter the child of my first husband by his first marriage?
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Rather a complicated me, Naje Watson cried, I.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Was a fool to marry a man so much younger
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: than myself.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: But Pubis was well Ardn't you know what these latins are?
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Mister Holmes Hm swept me right off my fete.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: Would you believe it?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: He refused to eat or sleep.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Until I named the day.
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: It all happened in the south of France, that land
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: of langborn Romance.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, I see it all.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: The courtship, the honeymoon returned home, the meeting with the
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: daughter of their household, the inevitable call of youth.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: To youth, Pewwis, isn't that, young, doctor Watson? I'm not
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: a cradle snatcher.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: And besides, he'd known to raise long before I I
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: met him. She accompanied him on a concert tour. Much
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: against my better judgment, I will say, I sometimes think
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: their romance may have blossomed even then.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, But in that case, why did Monsieur de Pavan
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: marry you or not your stepdaughter?
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: Because doctor Watson, I happen to be the one who
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: has the money.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: These realistic frenchmen.
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: Hey, Watson, tell me, Madame to Bacte Paffan, When did
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: you first suspect you were being poisoned?
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: About a month ago, I began to have a marked
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: distress after every meal.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: You don't think it could have been a flatulence brought
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: on perhaps by overeating?
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: Certainly not.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: I have an extraordinarily good digestion, plus an excellent appetite.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Obviously, I will say.
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: People described to persuade me to eat less of the
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: faddening foods.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: But I tell him that here in England men appreciate
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: fine figura wool.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: No, mister Holmes, I know.
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: The difference between flatulus and the definite and even painful
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: burning sensation in the pit of my stomach, and.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: I can guess what causes it. When I see that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: The weed killer I keep for the garden is disappearing
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: in the middle of the winter.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Weed killer. But that's full of arsenic.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: I know that, no fool.
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: That's why I sent Pananni three weeks ago to do
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: the cooking.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: What a pity you didn't come to me instead. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: should have enjoyed making the ranch test on the contents
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: of your stomach. Now, of course, after three weeks it
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: would be very difficult to prove the presence of arsenic
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: in your system short of an autopsy.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm not giving anyone a chance for that, not
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: if I can help it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: I ticket you've had no further distress since your nurse
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: was brought in to.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Do the cooking.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: No, no, that I haven't.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: Then why do you come to me at this late date?
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: Because I think Pubis is getting set for another try.
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: He leaves to night for a concert tour of the continent.
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: I have forbidden to raise to accompany him. But just
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: half an hour ago I heard them plotting together. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 7: was counting the silver in the butler's templey when I
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: heard them come into the dining room.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: I didn't know that I was listening.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I don't care what she says.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I can. I won't go without.
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: Your But you'll have two pubs. You have a week
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: before your first concent you'll be able to find another
• 7:05
  Speaker 8: accompanist in Paris.
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: I don't want another accompanist, Terrace. I want you. You
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: know I can't do anything. If you want with me, you've.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: Got to come with me.
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: Sneak out of the house when she's not looking.
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: But I can't do that. Pubis dear. She'll disown me.
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: I'll be disinherited. We both start.
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: I can't count a woman if she only went so
• 7:22
  Speaker 9: big headed and so rich.
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: I tried to persuade her puvers, but she won't listen.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: She won't listen to words, perps, other ways of persuading people. Terrace,
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: promise me that if anything should happen, you will come
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: to me by the next.
• 7:36
  Speaker 8: Book, of course, But what could happen?
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: I have a plan and need little time, and it
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: shouldn't take too long to work out.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Hmm, rather ambiguous conversation, If you'll permit me to say so,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Madame de Paban, what makes you so sure your husband
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: will try to poison you at dinner tonight?
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: First, because it's his last meal, at home.
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: The boat train leaves a nine thirty and second because
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: I found this bottle in the waste paper basket in
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: his study.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: Hmm, a pharmacist bottle with a label partly torn off.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: The letters P O I S still visible p.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: O I S. Holmes, if you add O N, that
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: spells poison.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: Brilliant by dear Watson, positively scintillating. There seems to be
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: a small bit of white crystalline powder still left at
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: the bottom of the bottle. But you make up it, Watson.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Well, from the look of the smell, it might be
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of some salts, Holmes, what are.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: You doing tasting it? What just the slightest suspicion of
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: a taste, Watson, Yes, it's slightly acrid and metallic. That
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: too might be eb some salts want to try it?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Watson, No, no, no thanks.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not interested in tasting anything that comes in a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: bottle of poison.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Perhaps you're right, Yes, I think perhaps we should try
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: some more extensive tests before we make up our minds
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: about the contents of this bottle.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: Madam, I don't care what you do, but don't belate
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: to dinner. We die on at seven thirty. The dress
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: is caught in Iroe Rathbone place. You enter from Oxford Street.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: It's close to Tottenham Corp Road.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: We shall be there, Madam on the dot.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Well, here we are Homes Rathbomb placed. The name sounds
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: vaguely familiar. Yes, you may have heard me mention it.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Watson. The street is named after a distant connection of mine.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Has just what did you find in the bottom of
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: that bottle?
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Homes antimony?
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Antimony, But that's deadly poison.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Quite It's also a constituent of many crack pills. Monsieur
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Paffan may be dursing himself or anything from blood pressure
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: to hangnails.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Just the same, it doesn't improve my appetite. You know,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: we're dining at a house where there's poison about what
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: if you guess in the wrong person's.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Soup, Perhaps we should have brought your stomach pump.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Don't be in delicate homes. Personally, I should follow that
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and the Pavan's example, and it ordering nothing that doesn't
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: come from a community dish.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: Very sensible, Watson, very sensible. Indeed, yes here we are
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: number forty nine. You can beella pull Watson is a
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: good champ.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Right, h I must say there's nothing particularly sinister looking
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: about the house, hey, Holmes, nice cheerful, little ruffel curtains.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: Yes, the poisoners have been known to live in the
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: most innoxious surroundings, as.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I do wish you to frame from indulging your supultral
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: sense of humor.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I am, that is if Madame de Pavan
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: lives here.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I believe we unt expected.
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: Ah, but this is a great honor.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Come in, gentlemen, Come in.
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: Who will believe me when I say I have the
• 10:38
  Speaker 9: honor of entertaining the world's master detective and his amid
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: the good doctor.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Then you you recognize us naturally? Who does not know
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: the great Sherlock Court.
• 10:47
  Speaker 9: Besides, my wife has taken great trouble to impress upon
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: me just who it is she has invited to dinner.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: That's certainly forth right off her, he Holmes.
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: Madame is at right person. She says what she thinks,
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: even when she changes her mind. But will you not
• 11:00
  Speaker 9: step into the parlor. We shall have a glass of sherry.
• 11:03
  Speaker 9: Madame and her charming daughter will be down.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: We thank you. But you know, I don't know to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: think that that is not before dinner.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: I mean it might take away my appetize, can doctor Watson?
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: It is such excellent sherry.
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: Here I pour from the decanter for you, well, the
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: great mister Sherlock Holmes, and for myself.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Oh well, well in that case someday, monsieur.
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: Your continued good health.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: But what do you wait for?
• 11:35
  Speaker 10: Her?
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: Buttons up as they say, I see you wished to
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: see if I drink first?
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: Very well, so you see it is quite timeless.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: That's relief. May I say?
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: It is no secret to me why you are here.
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: My poor wife thinks she's being poisoned and she suspects me.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Well, that's best, frank of you.
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: I must say, why not be frank, monsieur doctor, I
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: have nothing to do. Hey, you are a medical man. You
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: must realize that many women, particularly if they are well
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: bred and shall we say a bit I stomp, when
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: they come to a certain age, they develop curious ideas.
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: You do not know how quickly Madame Pava recovers from
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: her little ecthentricities.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: You know how these things are, doctor Watson? No, yes, yes,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: I must say. If the lady is suffering from a well,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: need to fix your very worse, to go away and
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: give it a chance. To blow over.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: You are planning to go alone with Sueur Pavan, But
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: of course, or about an accompanist, Oh you mean there is?
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: I think at this time it is best she stay
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: with him. After all, I do not want to leave
• 12:37
  Speaker 9: her entirely alone. She might develop am ancolia.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: Very understanding of you, Monsieur pav But I am a
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: man of the world.
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: I have traveled you see, I know many women. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: understand them better perhaps than you were Englishmen.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Perhaps.
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: And now, if you an excuse a moment, I must say,
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: if Madame needs my assistance, her maid is not very strong,
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: and since Madame has put on a few palms, she.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Needs a man to what you call hooper up the back.
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: At least do pull yourself more sharing my head now
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: that you know it to say how far is he?
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Will Watson, what do you make of our friend the violinist?
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: You know, Holmes a Hu may be perfectly right. Madame
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: de Pravan may be suffering from a slight form of
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: female hysteria.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Then in that case, why has he booked two passages
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: to front? See here the ticket sticking out from beneath
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: this platter. One is for tonight, the other is for
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: a week from now, So Sherlock Holmes didn't think. But
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Sir Purvar was as innocent as he pretended to be.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Doctor Now, mister Harris, don't ask me what Holmes thought.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: No one ever knew that, not even I until afterwards. Well,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: pretty soon the maiden.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: The sherry flips you order Dr Watson for you, and mister.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Eddo ooh, yes, thank you kidding right on't you?

• 16:03
  Speaker 2: we returned to our story fair enough, doctor, as I
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: was saying, pretty soon, the Pavan's little parlor maid announced dinner.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Holmes and I repaired to the dining room, where we
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: found Madame de Pavan and her step daughter, a rather
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: toothy female, already seated at either end of the table.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Monsieur Pavan stood in back of his chair at the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: far side. Madame, who was ladling soup out of a
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: large turene, her napkin tucked well over her bodice, turned
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: and pointed imperiously to the two empty chairs at the
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: near side.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: You sit here, mister Holmes, next to me, Doctor Wartson,
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: you sat.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: There next to the race so delighted. I'm sure.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: I'm afraid this soup isn't a stick as it should be.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: Old Nanny isn't the best book in the world, but
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: at least I know that it won't give me a
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: stomach ache.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: You have had a delightful interview, maor soup of the evening,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: beautiful soup.
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: You know the songs from Alison owner Land, Mister Holmes,
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: I have been so charmingly said to music by Liza Lehman.
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: Never mind Alice.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: In Wonderland pubs, and may pour off the carrot, my dear, No,
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: not from that bottle, the one that's not been opened,
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: with a cock still sealed.
• 17:13
  Speaker 9: Perhaps doctor Watson will do the honors. He looks like
• 17:16
  Speaker 9: a person who could handle a bottle. I confess, quite peelly,
• 17:20
  Speaker 9: that I have never been able to master that little
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: object to call the cox who.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Of course, sir, if you like here it is ah
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a magnificent vintage Madame.

  Speaker 7: My father laid down quite a respectable cellar before he died.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Provoo.
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: And now to ad further to the festivity of this occasion,
• 17:38
  Speaker 9: I have a special surprise for my.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Dear little wife. Oh what's that butter?
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: You may not know what, mister Holmes, but ordinarily I
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: do not approve of butter on the dinner table.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Bread I believe should be eaten.
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: In the continental fashion, which of the pinch of salt.
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: My wife, however, bless her dear little heart, has a
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: weakness for butter, even though it is forbidden by the doctor.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: Over tonight, being my last meal at home, and to
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: honor to such distinguished guests I were, I myself went
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: out and bought a roll of butter, and here it
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: is in a beautiful silver butter dish.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Oh that's pretty, but I really don't think.
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: Come, come, my dear, there is no possible danger. It
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: is all in one piece. You can cut off your
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: portion for yourself and we will all follow suit.
• 18:26
  Speaker 10: Does look so good, I assure you, my dear.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: It's the very best butter.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: That too is from Alice in Wonderland as the home.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, that the tea party. Another shall we say,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: unusual meal? Delightful, delightful.
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: Allow me, my dear, I'll cut you a piece of
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: butter from.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: Descend No, thank you, I'll do it myself from the
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: other end.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: As you please.
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: And now for our guests one two pieces, and another
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: piece for little Terrey, who is almost as fan of
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: butter as her charming my mind.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: And last, but at least, I too shall in Dutch.
• 19:03

  Speaker 9: I only hope I shall not regrets crossing the channel.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Let us hope that you will not regret many things
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: crossing the channel. A very cryptic remark with her.
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: But if by any chance anything should occur, you are
• 20:26
  Speaker 9: here to prove my conscience is clearness. Nothing like having
• 20:30
  Speaker 9: the greatest of all detectives as a witness to one's kins.
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: You too may know what you're talking about, but I
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: show you it's gibberish to.
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: The rest of us.
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: Big pardon, madame, Yes, what is it?
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: The master's carriage, the one you ordered to take him
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: to the station, is waiting outside you.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, I must not miss my train.
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: Pardon my hasty departure, but you know, heart is, my dear,
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: did you pack my goggle?
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: It's in your medicine case, pulis, with your tooth wash
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: and your hair tonic, and your business and your eye wash.
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: My husband, mister Holmes is a veritable traveling kennistop.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: I hope he carries the antidotes for all of his medicines.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: Antidotes.
• 21:06
  Speaker 9: You speak in parables, mister Hope, And why should I
• 21:09
  Speaker 9: use an antidote? I have merely one of my wretched
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: sure throats coming ah.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Well, of where doctor Watson, why mister Sherlock.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Holmes, by monsieur.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Morning homes morning, Well, let us say that was the
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: curious dinner party last night.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: It was for breakfast.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Tippers, and don't monophilize them and tasty.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Well, I got the Madame de Pavance survived the evening.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I left word that she was to send for me
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: immediately if she felt the slightest qualms. If you ask me,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Monsieur Pavarma is quite correct in his diagnosis. Past you
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: old girl, sterk ags and suspicions were probably a mouth
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: for the female hysteria.
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: I wasn't concerned in the least for Madame de Pavan's safety, Watson.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: It was her husband. I rather wondered about, what do
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: you mean you haven't read the morning papers? I take
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: it here, take a look at this item.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Famous violinist dies in channel crossing to mister succumbs to
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Nausier and convulsionists.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Good Lord, Yes, I rather thought he might, as I
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: suspected the butter was poisoned.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Antimony poisoned? Careful, Watson, who spills your coffee?
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But I insid of that butter? You ate some of it,
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: so did everybody else.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Arm yourself.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: The poison was all in the end portion where Monsieur
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: de Pavan so carefully put it, the piece that Madame
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: de Pavan cut off for herself. Yes, but he offered
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: her the other day, naturally, Watson, he knew she'd be contrary.
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: Monsieur Parvan was a very shrewd judge of his wife's character.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Of the great Scott.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Supposed she hadn't turned it around, one of the rest
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: of us might have had the poison slice.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: No, Watson, I rather imagine if that had happened, Monsieur
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: de Pavan would have continued serving from a harmless end
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: and left the poison bit instead of serving from the
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: other end. It was this, shall we say, change of
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: direction that made me suspect he was up to no good.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, but look here, Holmes, it still doesn't make sense.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Madame de Pavan who died.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: It was her husband.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: Naturally. Why do you think I upset that glass of
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: chalid over the daughter's dress.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: I might have known it was you.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: I did it in order to create it a version,
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: so I could shift Monsieur and Madame's butter plates without
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: anyone being the wiser. Of course, even there was no
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: proof that the butter was poisoned, I did it just
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: in case.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Sin You didn't actually know the butter was poison until
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: you read the morning's paper.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Oh no, Watson.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: But antmony, as you doubtless remember, is rather a slow
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: acting poison. One of the first symptoms, however, as a
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: soreness of the throat. I suspected the little Frenchman had
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: taken a dose of his own poison when he inquired
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: about his gargle.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: That's why I advised him to use an antidote. Remember
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: you think he understood that warning quite then?
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Why didn't he take the antidote.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: He knew we were unto him, Watson.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: Rather than face the consequences of his crime, he decided
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: to let nature take its course.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Yes, spare me another kipper, Watson, if you can spare it.
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: M m hmm.
