- 0:01Speaker 1: And now I'm sure our old friend doctor Watson's expecting us.
- 0:04Let's tap on his study door.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Good evening, Doctor, Good evening, mister Bartell.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Come over here, by the far, I was just having
- 0:13a cup of coffee. Would you care to join me?
- 0:15Speaker 2: Thanks, that'd be nice.
- 0:17Speaker 3: It will prevent you falling asleep during my story tonight.
- 0:20Speaker 2: There's no chance of that, doctor.
- 0:22Speaker 1: From the hints you gave us last week, it sounded
- 0:24like quite a story. It began in a circus in Paris,
- 0:27you told us.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Hees my boy, the circus, a colorful world of sawdust
- 0:32and spangles. The world, mister Bartel, that I may tell
- 0:35you confidentially, always held an irresistible fascination for me when I.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Was a youngster, me too, doctor.
- 0:41Speaker 3: In fact, when I was eight years old, I fell
- 0:44desperately in love with a lady bareback Rider, a stunning
- 0:48creature who wore pink silk tights with gold sequins on him. Unfortunately,
- 0:53my mother caught me writing her proposal marriage. And I'm
- 0:56afraid that it's another story, and one that you probably
- 1:00wouldn't find very interesting.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I'm sure I would, doctor, but I think it'd be
- 1:04safer to stick to your show like Honstership.
- 1:06Speaker 4: Probably right, my boy.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Well, it was a winter in the eighteen nineties and
- 1:11Holmes and I were in Paris, last second day there.
- 1:14Holmes suggested we attend that night's performance of the Sir
- 1:17Royal Leaders to remark. I was delighted, mister Bartell, And
- 1:21shortly after nine o'clock that night I found myself seated
- 1:24by besides Holmes in a box near the ringside.
- 1:28Speaker 4: It was an incredibly vivid scene, even.
- 1:30Speaker 3: For that city of color and light. The gay costumes
- 1:33of the women and the gaudy trappings of the ring
- 1:35masters and towns looked like a giant teidoscope under the
- 1:39blazing glare of the art lamps. As we sat there,
- 1:42a brass band nearby blared forth some popular music of
- 1:46the day, And yet he didn't appear to be enjoying himself,
- 1:50And so I leaned across and touched it up.
- 1:58Speaker 4: What is it, Watson? Been a quiet homes? Aren't you
- 2:01having a good time? Good time? Hoist?
- 2:03Speaker 5: First world Chapan is just wondering where mister Edwards is.
- 2:06Mister Edwards, who's the extremely distinguished plant?
- 2:09Speaker 4: Mister meet us in this box at nine o'clock.
- 2:10Speaker 3: Class So this little excursion was on business after all
- 2:14years I might have known it.
- 2:15Speaker 4: No money or fellow.
- 2:16Speaker 5: In your case, I think you'll be able to combine
- 2:17quite a little pleasure with the business.
- 2:19Speaker 3: Can't you be a little more explicit?
- 2:21Speaker 4: Homes it comes the ring master, say.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Loss far not all the bedet to see her, Mademoiselle
- 2:36de Seilles.
- 2:36Speaker 5: You all day akstrian and comparah.
- 2:47Speaker 3: Good only Yes, I've heard of her. She's a fair
- 2:49back ridder, don't you have?
- 2:51Speaker 5: And fans her hellow. She also has quite a reputation
- 2:53as a fen fittal. Three duels have been fought over her.
- 2:57A young English articer on and the Grenadier guards committed suicide
- 2:59last year because of that, and a famous French banker
- 3:02is a present languishing in prison because had extravagances drove
- 3:05into appropriate funds that did not belong to him. Yes, Watson,
- 3:09she's an extremely colorful personality.
- 3:10Speaker 4: You Her home is the funny thing.
- 3:12Speaker 3: When I was eight years old, I fell violent in
- 3:14love with a lady bareback rider. She woked pixel tights
- 3:17with golden sequence on him.
- 3:19Speaker 4: But unfortunate.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Homes, she's as looking the way she's jumping from the
- 3:41back of one horse to the other shere purtry of motion.
- 3:45Lady appeals to Watson by George is indigen In fact, Holmes,
- 3:48I don't mind telling you if I weren't a married man.
- 3:51Speaker 4: And yeah, you're like to court the lady.
- 3:54Speaker 5: Yes, excellent, that's the very reason for our attendance.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Of Heaven's name.
- 3:58Speaker 3: You're talking about homes, how they are?
- 4:01Speaker 2: Good evening, mister Edwards, How is my dear fellow?
- 4:03Speaker 3: How are you?
- 4:05Speaker 6: I haven't seen you since since that little affair at
- 4:08Windsor Castle when mother.
- 4:10Speaker 5: Excuse me, sir, I am mister Microft, and this is
- 4:12my friend, Sir William nightjel William Knight.
- 4:15Speaker 6: Of course, of course, and I am mister Edwards. We
- 4:18must respect each other's incognitos.
- 4:20Speaker 2: How do you do so, William?
- 4:22Speaker 3: Well, I am extremely honored to meet you.
- 4:25Speaker 4: You're mister Edwards.
- 4:26Speaker 6: How do you like Chazelle? Isn't she a stunning creature?
- 4:30Speaker 2: Indeed, the follow us.
- 4:31Speaker 5: To have suppered together after the performance to Night, I
- 4:33understand the stream.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Well, Unfortunately I can't be there, Micraft. There's some chopid
- 4:37affair at the embassy which I have to attend. We
- 4:39must postpone the dinner until tomorrow.
- 4:41Speaker 5: Very well, sir, come over to my hotel.
- 4:43Speaker 6: A little early and we can discuss the whole business personally.
- 4:45I think a lot of fuss is being made about nothing. Now,
- 4:56if you all excuse me, gentlemen, I'm just go back
- 4:58and see Chazzelle for a moment and tell her that
- 5:00I can't keep our appointment for tonight. I'll see you tomorrow.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Micraft, good night, sir? Will you good night?
- 5:04Speaker 4: Good night? Not at all?
- 5:08Speaker 2: If Sally lejeans and asks you, now.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Holmes, what's all this mystery? That was mister Edwards? It
- 5:15was the Princess Watson be indiscretionable fellow.
- 5:18Speaker 5: Mister Edwards, as you know, is extremely democratic, too much
- 5:21so possibly if when one considers his position and responsibilities,
- 5:24he's become quite seriously involved with Mademoiselle.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Giuselle and their back rider who has just left the ring.
- 5:30Speaker 4: Ah, so that's it.
- 5:31Speaker 2: The far enough is quite naturally. I suppose he is
- 5:32deeply concerned over the matter, and.
- 5:34Speaker 5: I've been entrusted with the delicate mission of protecting mister Edwards.
- 5:37Speaker 3: Who does youse gerroon. They know that his true identitatious birth.
- 5:41Speaker 2: That's the first thing that we have to find out.
- 5:43Speaker 5: It's possible that she is simply captivated by having a
- 5:46rich Englishman at her feet. If, one other hand, she
- 5:49knows who mister Edwards is, then we may be in
- 5:52for a grated of trouble.
- 5:53Speaker 4: How are you going to find that out.
- 5:55Speaker 5: By tempting her with a richer Englishman and one with
- 5:58a title idea? Bellow, where is why you are sir
- 6:02William Nitel? You mean that your job OVERO is to
- 6:05do your utmost to steal as She's hells you're on

- 6:15As will take you to her dressing room and arrange
- 6:17an introduction.

- 6:36is even more colorful than in the ring.

- 6:41with a bearded lady while a thought swallower was standing

- 12:53into the evening performance.
- 12:54Speaker 7: Yet here's me germs. I escorted her to a dressing
- 12:57woman half an hour ago and mission edward. She's in
- 13:00there with her now. At last, it seems she has
- 13:04used for a poor policeman. Last night she found a
- 13:07threatening letter on her makeup table. Since then she has
- 13:10been most grateful for my company.
- 13:12Speaker 2: A threatening letter. Any idea who might have sent it?
- 13:15Speaker 7: Pooh, yes, of course, I'm afraid I have misurs. I
- 13:18told her to pay no attention. By the perfume of
- 13:21the notepaper, I recognize the center a jealous tightrope walker
- 13:25called Yvette Mara. Oh, poor Evet, she would make a
- 13:29very inferior criminal. I'm afraid still. Giselle asked me to
- 13:33stay outside the addressing room till the performance that you
- 13:36wish to see her.
- 13:37Speaker 5: Yes, Oh good evening, miss breadber evening, mycraft evening specta
- 13:40common seas.

- 13:44gone far enough. Roselle just refilled another invitation of mine.
- 13:47Now I know who Sir William Nigeli is. Now I
- 13:49swear I'll tell her.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Don't you think so?
- 13:51Speaker 4: That the lady is hardly worth bothering about?
- 13:53Speaker 5: Surely this whole incident with Sir William proves that she's
- 13:56a scheming little adventuress. A fictitious title and apparently bottomless
- 14:00purse have shown her up and her two colors.
- 14:02Speaker 7: I could have told you the same thing without such
- 14:04an experiment, my friends, Well, last person.
- 14:06Speaker 6: Write Micraft, I've been a fool an idiot. Well that's
- 14:09a pretty ankle. Turned his head a conceited.
- 14:11Speaker 7: Don't head letters just say, monsieur, that you have been
- 14:15a man.
- 14:16Speaker 4: Who do you think so?
- 14:17Speaker 5: To believe it?
- 14:18Speaker 3: Just going back to see yourself for a moment. I
- 14:20promise these flowers for her.
- 14:22Speaker 2: I'll be back in a job for just a minute.
- 14:23Speaker 4: Watson. I I hate to dampen your other old chap,
- 14:28but the.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Masquerade is ended.
- 14:29Speaker 6: And then what do you mean it is no longer
- 14:31necessary for you to impersonate Sir William Nigel or to
- 14:35pay court to yourself.
- 14:36Speaker 3: Oh really, really well, absolutely great relief, so great belief.
- 14:41I hate the whole visits.
- 14:42Speaker 2: Oh yes, yes, I'm sure you have.
- 14:44Speaker 4: We appreciate the sacrifices that you've made, can't be sure?
- 14:47Speaker 3: Yes, yes, indeed, well I must go back and see
- 14:50her once more. Though we had a ronivou for tonight,
- 14:52and I must canceled a jump any thing to do?
- 14:54Speaker 4: You know, I would be eminem.
- 14:58Speaker 7: Never have I seen a man more done cast obviously
- 15:01with him by the arms business was a pleasure, I Fary,
- 15:05why are you going?
- 15:06Speaker 4: Not the Englishman? I just saw him go into she
- 15:09SAIDs the.
- 15:09Speaker 5: Room whom you referring at the man that called himself
- 15:11Sir William and Nigel two days ago?
- 15:14Speaker 4: He strikes me. I have to settle with him. No
- 15:16man may strike a fiery do.
- 15:18Speaker 7: Not cause any more trouble. Fary, on what I've been told,
- 15:22you thoroughly deserved.
- 15:23Speaker 4: What happened to you?
- 15:24Speaker 1: Here? He come?
- 15:24Speaker 7: Now?
- 15:25Speaker 4: You English? You, I'll fear he changed you to homes.
- 15:29Speaker 6: How is it there as spice as a ghost, it's
- 15:32it's you hell, what's song?
- 15:34Speaker 4: She's dead.
- 15:35Speaker 3: She's lying down in a dressing room, strangle.
- 15:37Speaker 7: Strangled, and only half an hour ago I spoke with
- 15:41her myself. Since then, I've been standing in this corridor
- 15:45guarding your door at your own request. Only two men
- 15:49have vented Detail's dressing room since then, you, miss you Edwards,
- 15:54and you, Sir William Nigel.
- 15:55Speaker 4: What are you suggesting by?
- 15:57Speaker 7: I am suggesting nothing. I am stating that these two
- 16:00gentlemen aren't arrest for suspicion of murder.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Doctor Watson's unusual story will continue in just a few
- 16:15seconds time. I'd like to take to remind you that
- 16:18one wine that seems to be the outstanding favorite among
- 16:21the ladies is Petrie California muscatell. That's probably because, like
- 16:26a beautiful woman, Petrie Muscatel is subtle and intriguing. Petrie
- 16:31muscatel is the color of burnished gold, and it's flavor, well,
- 16:36it's the flavor of big, plump muscat grapes picked by hand,
- 16:40carefully and tenderly, and they're just full of wonderful, delicious juice.
- 16:45Speaker 4: If you want to show that you really know the.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Wine that women prefer serve, Petrie muscatell serve it out
- 16:51to dinner or later in the evening. It's wonderful, and
- 16:54why shouldn't it be. It's a petri wine. Well, doctor Watson.
- 16:59Speaker 4: So you and the.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Mysterious mister Edwards got yourselves arrested on suspicion of murder.
- 17:04Speaker 3: Yes, it's about her, Holmes did everything is part of
- 17:06a straight Inspector Verney to release this, but it was useless.
- 17:09And so while mister Edwards and myself were languishing in
- 17:12detention cells, the local surtey Holmes and the French inspector
- 17:17were examining the dressing room of the dead woman.
- 17:21Speaker 5: I'm sure, Inspector Aimee, that being as keen a detective
- 17:24as you are, you must suspect the two identity mister
- 17:26Edwards and of.
- 17:27Speaker 7: Course martial arms. But that is the danger of incognitos.
- 17:32If he chooses to assume the identity of blame Michie Edwards,
- 17:35then he must on the lisks of blame.
- 17:37Speaker 5: And you are convinced that either he or my friends
- 17:38strangled Mademoiselle's seronde of you, and I'll have to prove
- 17:41to you that they didn't let me examine the body again.
- 17:44You know, if she had been strangled by either of
- 17:48my friends, why would her body be lying here under
- 17:50the window.
- 17:51Speaker 2: It's just fun away from the door.
- 17:52Speaker 5: By which they left this room as possible.
- 17:54Speaker 3: That was nothing.
- 17:55Speaker 7: No, but it's odd, he said, was a strong girl. Well,
- 17:59they might easily have been a struggle. Perhaps she tried
- 18:02to get away through the window.
- 18:03Speaker 5: And yet there are no marks of violence on her throat.
- 18:06Just this piece of very fine cord that did its
- 18:08deadly work. So Cleenney cut for the night.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Please do not.
- 18:12Speaker 7: Remove the cordners your rooms. The body has not yet
- 18:15me photography.
- 18:16Speaker 4: You're very hard for me, aren't you. You notice, of
- 18:18course that the window is open.
- 18:20Speaker 7: Yes, but we have examined the snow outside. There were
- 18:23no footprints within three years of the window. The murderer
- 18:27must have entered by the door that I was watching.
- 18:29Speaker 5: Yes, it would be hard him, a professional acrobat to
- 18:33jump in a acrobat there me, your young friend Mademoiselle
- 18:37ybit my eyes a tight brope walker vet.
- 18:40Speaker 4: But yes, she's certainly out about it.
- 18:42Speaker 5: She even sent a threatening letter. I heard her express
- 18:44hatred and jealousy for this dead woman.
- 18:46Speaker 2: It's conceivable that.
- 18:47Speaker 5: She could enter a room by a window without leaving footprints,
- 18:51and the snow were washed at the time.
- 18:53Speaker 4: Of the murder, I do not know.
- 18:55Speaker 7: I was waiting for her in the corridor, and.
- 18:56Speaker 5: I suggested we investigate her alibi at once, and after that,
- 18:59Inspector I must pay a visit to the Sulte. I
- 19:01don't want my friends to think that I've deserted them.
- 19:16Excuse me, sir, Yes, Holmes, and I paid.
- 19:18Speaker 2: It looks rather black, as I was telling you, if
- 19:21that Mara.
- 19:21Speaker 5: The tightrope walker was able to establish completely satisfactory alibi,
- 19:25then may still suspect you or dr Watch?
- 19:28Speaker 7: Well, that's ridiculous.
- 19:30Speaker 2: May I ask you a very straightforward question, sir?
- 19:32Speaker 5: Of course, I can well understand that if you had
- 19:34gone into the dressing room and found the woman already murdered,
- 19:36you might easily be tempted to conceal the fact to
- 19:39avoid a scandal involving your person. Will you swear to me, sir,
- 19:42on your true identity, that she is always alive when
- 19:45you left her she was, Holmes, I swear it, Thank you, sir.
- 19:48Speaker 4: That's all I wanted to know.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Oh, I'm glad to see you. You know, I've been
- 20:02thinking all this depends on Vernet's evidence. But supposing he
- 20:06was a murderer, he told us that Gisell had turned
- 20:09him down.
- 20:10Speaker 5: You know, I thought of that, But mister Edwards swears
- 20:12that Gazelle was alive when he left the room.
- 20:15Speaker 2: And yet that means that mister Edward, Oh no, no, no, no,
- 20:19it's unthinkable.
- 20:21Speaker 3: You're not suggest Holmes. If I thought that that were possible,
- 20:24I confessed to the murder myself. My life wouldn't matter
- 20:26if it did save it's cattle like that great Scott
- 20:29it it had shatter the empire.
- 20:30Speaker 5: Dear old Watson, yours will not sacrifice yourself. You're as
- 20:35valuable a British institution as the line himself. No, my
- 20:37dear fellow, which will never sacrifice you, not while my
- 20:40mind is still capable of my mind.
- 20:43Speaker 4: That's it. Thank you Watson. You've given me the answer, Holmes,
- 20:47what are you verbalation offello?
- 20:48Speaker 5: In half an hour you'll be out of this cell
- 20:50and the real murderer will be in it.
- 21:01Speaker 4: Questions questions?
- 21:03Speaker 5: Why Mustyle Fiery answer so many questions because you will
- 21:06not tell the truth.
- 21:07Speaker 4: You murdered Gesels your on day? How many times I
- 21:10have to tell you I did not kill her.
- 21:11Speaker 5: Why should I want to armor because you were jealous,
- 21:14because she humiliated and tormented you.
- 21:16Speaker 4: But I was not in a lasting room.
- 21:18Speaker 2: I have already proved that fact.
- 21:19Speaker 4: How am I amagiction that I can kill somebody without
- 21:21entering a room?
- 21:21Speaker 5: And Gerry, I know how you killed Gieselson day without
- 21:25its necessitating your entering this room.
- 21:26Speaker 4: And you're a smart man. Please do tell me.
- 21:29Speaker 5: I don't need to tell you. With the aid of Verne,
- 21:31I'll show you open the window, Alfieri, what game is this?
- 21:34And well then I'll open the window myself. Put your
- 21:37head out.
- 21:38Speaker 4: Come on. So who do you see?
- 21:41Speaker 5: The inspect of ernestanding three yards away where you stood,
- 21:43and he's got your long training web.
- 21:46Speaker 4: Don't know stand there?
- 21:47Speaker 5: The inspector hasn't your skill with a whip, but he
- 21:50wants to try a little experiment.
- 21:53Speaker 4: Holding empire.
- 22:11Speaker 3: Well, mister, I am in well, sir, this is a
- 22:14present change from a prison zone, and it certainly is.
- 22:18Speaker 6: Holmes, I can't tell you how greatful I am. I
- 22:20still don't quite understand how you did it.
- 22:22Speaker 5: Watson in rather a round about waivers responsible for giving
- 22:26me the clue?
- 22:27Speaker 4: Well on more than one occasional chap.
- 22:29Speaker 5: I've had cause to deploy a rather florid style of
- 22:32writing tonight.
- 22:34Speaker 2: I was very thankful for it.
- 22:36Speaker 5: When I began to speak of the capabilities of my mind,
- 22:39suddenly I remember the phrase of yours which you referred to.
- 22:42It's whipped like rapidity and accuracy. That of course made
- 22:46me think about Pierry the animal trainer. Exactly how did
- 22:49he kill the poor Welza. He stood outside the window,
- 22:53far enough away to leave no incriminating footprints, called touchisel
- 22:57probably persuaded Adelina, then snapped the whip around her neck,
- 23:00pulling it tight and strangling out.
- 23:02Speaker 3: And then I suppose he cut the cord and let
- 23:03the body fall back into the room.
- 23:05Speaker 4: This nicely old fellow.
- 23:06Speaker 5: We found a whip stock among his tackle and whipstock
- 23:09from which the lash had been cut. The stubber flash
- 23:13left matched the cord around the dead girl's throat.
- 23:15Speaker 2: Amazing business.
- 23:17Speaker 6: And I don't mind telling you, fellas, I'm very thankful
- 23:20to be through with it, so much.
- 23:21Speaker 3: So, in fact, I wouldn't be all surprised of this
- 23:23whole instant cures me of my love of circuses.
- 23:26Speaker 6: Oh, I didn't know you had a predilection in that direction.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Oh yes, sir, yes, you don't mind my sayo.
- 23:31Speaker 5: When he was eight years old, he fell in love
- 23:33with a lady bare back rider.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Didn't you want to speak?
- 23:36Speaker 3: Indeed, what happened Wilsa? I don't remember her name, but
- 23:40she wore pixel tights with golden sequins on them, and
- 23:44I wrote her a rather hot headed lequer. I watched
- 23:48it
