  Speaker 1: And mister Harris, to our story the Keys to the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Missing Heiress. Put your boots on the fender and.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Make yourself comfortable.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: A perfect combination of crackling fire to warm one's feet
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and the hair raising adventure to chill one's spine. It
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: sounds rather like like one of those confounded hot and
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: cold shabats that are the curse of this modern age.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Now in the good old data see days, and one
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: made one's daily abditions in a chin tub that was
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: still from a pair of steaming jugs. One got in
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and out as fast as possible to prevent freezing to death.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Day doctor, was only in the winter time, mister Harri,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It's only in the winter. I remember one bright July
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: afternoon in the little Sea. Well, in other mind, it
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: was before you were out of your cradle. I was
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: pressing about in my morning tub.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I thought you said it was afternoon.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: When one shared lodgings and adventures with the great Sherlock Holmes,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: one frequently took one's mourning tub in the afternoon or evening. Well, well,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: who I was splashing around in your morning tub in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: mid afternoons? Oh, yes, yes, as a mental accuracy, I
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was judging in the so from the back of the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: ears and giving a not inspired rendition of the current
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: comic opera hits when Holmes.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Burst in rather uncrem earlier.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Wandering in sur a shreds and packs fig hots and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: stopped that cattle warning and sow on a dressing gown.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: We're about to have a collar and I'm sure it
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: means another case, and why I should get into that, Feba.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You're quite capable of handing the pastages of a case
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: by your cell phone, not when it concerns a lady
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: in hysterics in a court train. You're much better than
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I ad managing female education. Holmes, what are you roading about?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: An elegant carriage has just galloped up to our curdstone,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and without waiting for the footman to alight from the
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: box and assist her, a middle aged creature in full
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: court rugalia compete to the fellers in her hair, burst
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: out into the street and is even now pulling our
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: front doorbell out by the roof. So lord Ah, missus
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Hudson's better in she's coming up the stairs. Now you've
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: come out and protect me certainly enough, very well, then
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I should be obliged to usher her in here griecot
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: me then coming and coming, good lad, look at me,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm way to greet a lady.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Don't worry. That's I'm greatly mistaken. She's to affect the notice. Yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: tie the cord around your middle. Oh yeah, and you
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: put your stippers on the wrong.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Feet and found it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: In mister home.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Thank hesn't I find you at home? Lady Loon Watson
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: delighted to see you? Could you give me a lack
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: of sheriff?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: This is terrible. I'm ruin and the poor John the hone.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: You must find her, You must.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Of course, lady Maynooth.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: But first, perhaps you'd better tell us the name of
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: this damsel in distress and inform us just what difficulty
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: she seems to be in justice.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I haven't the remotest idea. I don't mean I don't
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: know her name. It's Elizabeth, Elizabeth.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Missus Lizabeth can learned, the child of health fire. That's
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: from the Canadian copper.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: That's right, doctor Watson.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, quite the better the season I gather.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, Elizabeth has certainly been popular, not what it's made
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: the slightest impression on her?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yes, perhaps that explains her popularity, that and her father's millions.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But why are you so concerned about miss Elizabeth Bascom,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Lady Maywood.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: It's been nice responsibility to sam for the young lady
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: through her first London season, to see that she makes
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: the proper social connections, and while her father is bound
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: and determined that she shall marry into a nobility.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I had no idea that George Bascombe, more often referred
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to as hell Fire, was one of your acquaintances, Lady maynoeld.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: To be quite frank, mister Holmes, I've never set eyes
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: on elizabeth father, but a well a mutual friend, knowing
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: that he was anxious to have her received in the
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: best circles, and also knowing that my own financial position
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: has not been too secure lately. While I was shall
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: we say, persuaded to take a lita that under my wing.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I hope he made a profitable arrangement.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I did, mister Holmes. But I've earned it every penny
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: you you mean, the.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Young lady is and COO's in spite of her good looks.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Oh no, doctor Watson.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: The truth forces me to admit that Elizabeth is really
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: quite presentable, and even not at all when not cross.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: But when she is cross, she takes after her father
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: exactly she ins.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: So, going for solitary walks completely unchaperoned, she strikes up
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: an acquaintance with the.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Most unlikely peace at homes. It might be considered democratic
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: in an ordinary female, but where a young woman of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: miss Bascombe's wealth is concerned, it's rather dangerous.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: How true we've been receiving will not exactly threats, but
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: certainly crank letters ever since it became known that Elizabeth
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: had come to stay with me.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: But she absolutely refuses to pay heed to her own danger.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: That she's been handling situations with that thought all her life,
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: and she refuses to come perturbed about it at this
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: late date.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And now it happened.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: What else where I found a little afraid of her
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: to take an interest in young nor weave a book
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: a very stutical match in every way. That her father
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: is arriving on the next boat in order to announce
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the engagement.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Well, surely that's nothing to be upset now, yes, but
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: what is.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: He going to do when he finds his daughter has
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: been abducted?
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Abducted? Forcibly?
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: This note was turned to the carriage seat when I
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: returned and found Elizabeth gone.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I gather from your costume, Lady may Loose, that you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: were on your way to Buckingham Palace.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, mister Holmes.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: After considerable maneuvering, I had arranged to have Miss Bascombe
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: received at court. A bit of doing, and I'll admit
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I accepted trouble with Elizabeth. However, she fell in with
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: the plan with quite a sure alacrity, even standing patiently
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: for endless sticking of her train and taking lessons in
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: how to make a course down.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: I've often wondered how one managed it, Rock Watson, a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: grand lady may news today.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I take it was to day, yes, and.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: More perfect weather one couldn't have wished for. And I
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: won't say Elizabeth seemed to be in high schoolit.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: We were well prepared with the usual hamper of wine
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: and sandwiches and cakes. You know that interminable waitings and
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: changes park.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I've thought often that the set of the ladies in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: there full regalia on the way to a course punction
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: is one.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Of the great sides of London.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Elizabeth seemed to share your opinion, Dr Watson. At anyway,
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: she seemed an unusually high speed as the other carriages
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: crowded around us.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: What fun, lady may news is.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Even more exciting that I regard all the street additions
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and the clouds Patty on the stod, I walk as
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: if it were a parade.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: All waving and steering and calling to work. Give up
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: this idea, run way. That's a little sorry. Now have
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: your flowers and a macking idea. But so is because
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a rather look, let me it's done hot. Your mother
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: smiled at you.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Don't encourage them, the boy shouldn't I smile. I'm so happy,
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: show yourself and have a moment gap and we'll be
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: inside the gates by the crowd car follower.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Oh so we're nearly there. He No, he changes even
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: if you're in the cord job. Yeah, he goes. Now,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: let's see what's not duncan hanter. I didn't mave. I'm
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: hot starle No, no, let's wait, I'm still sore, exlayed.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Oh baby, look who's that handsome man walking among the
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: carriages and sticking his head into some of them?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: See it? I wish he wouldn't. His mother would be
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: still put out if she knew he were out here.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: He will do it all the boys, I say, it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: much more fun than he gets in aside, you may
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: knew he's coming this way. Oh he's going to stop.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Well, so this is the carriage that has been causing
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: all the commotions. No wonder, hello there, hellow yourself. Well
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that's refreshing. So this is the beautiful Lizzie who has
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: set the town on its ears. Oh, lady Minute, I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: didn't notice you at first. You wouldn't buy any chance
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: to have some smelling salts.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: The dowager Duchess of Kiel seemed rather wonky as I
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: passed the baruche.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: I wonder if you'd come and take a look at him.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Certainly, let's see where I don't put the smelling saw
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: in your reaticue, Lady Maymoe, I'll do out that. Oh
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: and Elizabeth, yeah, lady minnue. If that gentleman should return,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you addressed him as your highness, And that's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: mister Holmes.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Was the last I saw Elizabeth. She was abducted.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Abducted in broad daylight, right there in the court lad
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: of Suckingham Palace.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: You don't think it was done by a princes of
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: blood or oils. They've been known to pull some rather
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: spectacular plants.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: No member of the House of Hanover, Dr Watson will
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: write this note. It was thin to the cushions of
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: the seat directly behind the box.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: May I see, Lady Maynwost, mister Holmes.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, the whole affair was un doubted, it planned in advance,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: or what makes us they're at homes. The words are
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: printed in ink, large bold lettering, and the paper has
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: been folded. Furthermore, there's a rather carefully executed dusky palm
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: print in the law left hand corner the what is
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the message?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: What does the note say? The words of communication of
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this sord are always the least.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Enlightening part of your pistol, Watson, But do just to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: satisfy your curiosity.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I'll read them to you. Y's right.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: We have kidnapped Lizzie. If you know what good for her,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: don't tell the cops signed the back hand. Then the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: American cutloads the words kidnapped and the cops or dead giveaway.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I've heard of these black hand gangs, Paul Lizzy. Men
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: like that are desperate characters. We can only help the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: popular arrive in time to Peney, who are ransom denound.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: We may be dealing with a band of cutthroats and desperadoes.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: But let's not jump to any conclusions, watsman, who we've
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: examined the scene of the crime. What do you mean
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: you expect to find clues in all that turmoil in
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: the courtyard of Buckingham Palace. No, Watson, the scene of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the crime is much closer than that. It is, in
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: fact drawn up to our curb. I lude, of course too,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Lady Mayne's carriage. Oh, I see what you mean. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hadn't thought of that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, come along, what are we waiting for for you
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to go and finish stressing? Watson? Oh jard easy, handsome
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: horses you have lady, Thank you.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: And this is Horrace, mister Holmes. Horace has been our
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: footman for over fifty years, man and.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Boy, and that's the truth recorded the crowd of Horrace
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in these couple of times.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: He did it to death, mister Holmes eighty day.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I said, you have a fine record, Horace, Hey, I have.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It if you know, please Horror And mister Holmes has
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: a detected he's like to inspect the carriage.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I know who mister Holmes is. Mum.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody knows mister Sherlock Holmes, Horace, when did you first
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: become aware that miss Bascombe was not in the carriage?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: When a ladyship comes back and found your note? You
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: didn't see or hear anything unusual before that, did not, Nyery,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: He's our coachman, you know, had gone after help Lord
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Frensy's man who was having trouble with his arses and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I had the answer holding oars, but I handled them.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Third for Horris and Horace.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Divide which I'm a bit deaf. Nothing she could notice,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: but it keeps me from earing things.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid Hollis has but a broken reed in this affair.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I said, thank you, Horace.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Well, let's have a look inside the carriage. Keep me
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: my magnifying glass. Watson, Yes, interesting, very interesting what you found?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Hose blood stains.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: On the contrary, there's not the slightest indication of a struggle.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Either Miss Bascombe left the carriage of her own free
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: will or she was lured out of it by someone
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: she considered a friend. Very significant, very significant, Hose, but
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: were hardly helpful.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, here is her parasol neatly filled.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Surely have she been attacked, she'd have attempted to use
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: it as a weapon, and the luncheon hamper, neatly placed
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in the corner, opened up the lid.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Watson, very well, Hello, what's up?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: This is inventry, not using a crumb list.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: The gods.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: They not only abducted my work, they stole my lunch
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: What Theron's cake hadn't even been coming to the scoundrels?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Oh no, a famale roads on a blank No clues,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: no clues at all.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Not so fast, Watson.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Here is a long thread of Heavy's silk lady manhood
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: as miss Bizzy by any chance of garment, with a
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: blue fringe in her wardrobe, yes.
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Of course, and the tellerine that goes over a few
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: stalking suits.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: But what has that to do with the chase?
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: She was wearing full court for Daniel when she was abducted.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: That's what mass her preposters.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Really, you know, you couldn't possibly kidnap a lady in
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: a cord costume.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Hello, here's something in the side pocket of the hamper.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Why that's Elizabeth jandicut her guide book. She was always
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: speaking off by herself with that under her arm. From
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: the number of times it happened, she must have visited
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: all the sights of London.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Not all, Lady Manuth.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I fancy miss Elizabeth rather specialized in the British Museum.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: How do you arrive at that conclusion?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: The rest of the volume is rather stiff, showing very
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: few of the pages have been read. But notice how
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: readily the book opens at the portion describing Theritish Museum,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and here the paragraphs describing the famous Elgin Marbles.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: That page has decided to dog here.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Then I had no idea Elizabeth was a connoisseur of art.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I fancy Miss Elizabeth as a connoisseur of many things
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: at which you had no idea.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Laveen, you know what do we do now? I supposed
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: that it consult properly.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Yard, I rather fancy.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: But a certain mister Percy Smithers will prove more helpful
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: in this matter. I suggested Batson and ipaim and.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Visit Percy Smithers, who will vandle is.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: He the famous archeologist and authority on Greek and Roman relics.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: He is also curator of the Elgin Marbles. Hewey are
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Watson the British Museum, imposing it's somewhat mafet noo mosse
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: or you need and pointed out to me as if
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I've never laid eyes on it before. I had an
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: uncle whose idea of entertaining his various visiting nephews is
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to kill them.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: To the British Museum.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And you, of course, have never been guilty of escorting
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: your juvenile relatives through its echoing hall. Well, that is
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: one must keep up the traditions, you know.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Never mind open the door, I can't it, it's.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Stun well, never mind where comes in attendant?
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Ah, thank god?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The inside seems to me are a big bulkley. We
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: can't get it open. Don't know war would be locked
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: up for the night, clothes and Tom was twenty minutes ago.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I guess we won't get to see the marbles today
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: at homes. I'm not particularly interested in the marbles, Watson, God,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: can you tell me if mister Smithers, Sureka, Percy Smithers
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: is still on the premises.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Oh now he's gone home. You saw him leave. He
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: always leaves five minutes before closing time. I don't suppose
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: you can give us his home address. I do better
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: than that. They over there first house across the quadrangle,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the one with the bay window. That's right, thank you,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Come along, Watson.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Do you know this fellow Smithers homes only sprightly, Watson.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I've met him at the Diogenes Club from time to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: time when I've gone there to see my brother Micraft.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Like all the rest of the members, he's what you might.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Call taciturn the drug will professor, I got the saurial
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and grumpy, I grant you, But he's certainly not old.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: In fact, mister Percy Smithers looks not unlike the Greek statues.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: He's such an authority on only with more clothing.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Of course, as I can remember that there were many
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: elderly ladies who got a petition demanding draperies to put
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: on the marbles when they first spent on exhibition.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I of course consider them perfect as they are. Then
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: you'll see the Elgin marbles.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And many times you recall the statue of Persius perfectly.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Could you describe his attitude?
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: I can do better than that. I can duplicate it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: He's uh, he's standing like.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: This, not bad except the positions that the left and
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: right arm should be reversed.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: As your frame took a fit.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: I was just I was just explaining something and stopped
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: following us.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I wasn't following, said, was just going on and may
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: suffer fucin.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You recall the face, Watson, of the precious statue, I mean,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: or naturally, how would you describe the nose?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that is a grucial And of course.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Run again, Watson, that particular statue has no nose at all.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: It's probably been missing for centuries. But but here we
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: are to mister Smithers's door. Bring the bill, Watson. That's
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: good fella, who was giving orders?
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Now? I soon don't understand what information you expect to
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: gather from the curator of the British Museum about a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: missing Canadian heiress.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: You never know, Watson, you never know.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, what do you want?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: We've come to see mister Smithers, mister Percys.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Smithers where you can't see him. I'm sorry to disturb
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: him if he's having his supper. But this matter is
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Robert Agent.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: You can't see indicarse he's not come home. And as
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: for his supper, it then burnt or Crest there waiting
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: for him, and I find trout it was too that
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: he ordered special.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: What a pity.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you could tell me if a young lady in
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: a blue and puse walking suit has called on mister Smithers.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Lately, certainly not.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Mister Smithers is a respectable man and a nominator.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Besides, once again we draw a blank this case. Hems
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: to ned nowhere, But Darren blind alleys on the contrary, Watson,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the fact that mister Smithers did not come home for
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: his supper is decidedly revealing. You don't think he's been
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: forcibly kidnapped too, by the same outipit of that in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: this baskeom No, I don't think there are any indications
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: of the kidnapping, at least I doubt that any force
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: was used.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Of course, how stupid.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: As ben missus Smiller's in his bascom have a note, Watson,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the incurable romanticist whoa no ardson a woman hater myself accepted,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: of course, might conceivably change his mind. But no ardent
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: lover would order klout a single clout for supper on
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the day on which he expected.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: To run off with his innamorata.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Whether of all that give us whatever detained. Percival Smithers
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: was unexpected, entirely unexpected. Come let's go home, before our
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: supper has been burned to a crystal Holmes, how can
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: you think of food when you haven't rescued? Missus Bascroom
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: from Heaven knows only what danger.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Whatever dangerous visit is in. I rather imagine she enjoys. Yes,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: there's nothing further we can do until tomorrow at eight thirty.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Why age thirty? That is the time they unbar the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: entrance to the museum. Yes, we shall be waiting at
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: eight twenty two. When you note the low prices of
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: clipper Craft clothes, you have to be puzzled.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: How do they do it?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: You'll say, Well, the solution's no mystery at all once
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you know the facts. What makes them great values is
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the clipper Craft plan, concentrating the buying power of nine
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four leading stores across the nation. Yes,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: remember that you buy these famous clothes at your local, favorite,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: local store, where you're treated as a person, not just
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: as another number on a sales check. These days, practically
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: everything you buy costs more, but not so with Clippercraft.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: You can select your fall clipper Craft suit at only
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: thirty five and forty dollars, with a few special numbers
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: at forty three seventy five clipper Craft top coats and overcoats.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Two are only thirty to forty dollars sport jackets, but
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: twenty four dollars. Selling expensive clothes that inexpensive prices at
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the nation's finest independence stores is the great, big idea
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: behind the clipper Craft plan. That's why men who know
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: insist on clipper Craft clothes. So I'll be sure to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: visit the clipper Craft store in your city. And remember
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: that's one of the nine hundred twenty four leading retail
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: stores across the nation where courtesy and friendly service are
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: always yours, the store that is proud to add its
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: fine name to that of clipper Craft Clothes in the
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: label of your suit, top coat, sport jacket and overcoat.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And remember also, not every pattern is always available in
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: your size, but keep on trying. It will pay you
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to wait for clipper Craft clothes. Oh it's age twenty five.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Home another fiveness and little nerve.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Your guess is right. I never gets Watson, I say,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: isn't that leaving.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: In his carriage coming down the street at the pool gallop? Yes,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: missus Hudson Mastota, she'd find us here, Yes, here she
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: comes like a s up under full sale.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Let's say, who's your red faced little man with her?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I rather imagine Papa Bascom has a right the dead,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: blessed dead burn uhle.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: So so your shower holes, fine blazers, haven't you found
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: my daughter?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I was right, Watson, it is hell fire Bascombe. How
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: do you do? So? Good morning lady men.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: The most horrible news, the most horrible horrible news.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I haven't found a body. No.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: But first of all, when I returned home last evening,
• 20:29

  Speaker 3: How did she stutters to leave?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yes, I rather suspected that hamper held something more interesting
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: than food when I found that blue thread.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: In the west this.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Morning, before I even had time to have my morning tea.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Lord Brunton's man returned and is caught.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: They've been found in his carriage.
• 20:55

• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Bless to reputation, ma'am. Shall catch her difficult.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Calm yourself, mister Bascom.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I think I may be able to return your daughter
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: with both her health and her reputation moderately in text.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Yes, they're opening the doors now, if you will follow.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Me in the British Museum.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Calm yourself.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: A little culture is quite harmless, I assure you, Ah,
• 21:41

• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the hall of the Elgin Marbles.

  Speaker 2: Mind if we watch now, not if it will give
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: you any amusement.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I've been unlocking the eight years now and it's never
• 21:50

  Speaker 2: Where's ever were you last night? Since we heard the shouting?

  Speaker 4: scientist and your futures son in law.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just scientist. I wouldn't let you marry a scientist

  Speaker 1: the fact.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, father, don't be silly. I was the one that's
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: not Percy. I planned it all.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: I picked yesterday because all the crowds.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Would be at Buckingham Palace and the museum would be empty.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: So you threw the food into the packed your walking

• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, the hard part was fascinating, Percy, so I wouldn't
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: notice it was closing time. As a matter of fact,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: it wasn't as hard as I expected. You see, I
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: suspected Percy well like me, but I couldn't get into.
• 23:16

• 23:34
  Speaker 1: within by inconciling.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: That was all she wanted to know.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: And did Leslie lived within her husband's income, Doctor Watson,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and all all that lucive Papaul gave her business from
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: time to time.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: Percy never knew about it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: How did Elizabeth and her archaeologist get along?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Oh splendidly, you see your health.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Fire Baskin bets several expeditions for the bradish News here,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and curiously enough, Percival Smillers generally hitted them.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Did some splendid work too.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: So when he was finally knighted and visibly cave the
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: radio Isabeth, everyone says, you.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Need more than earned the title.
• 24:17

  Speaker 2: Week's hair raiser?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Next week is a hair raiser, mister Harris in more
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: raise than one. It concerned a gentleman who had an
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: unusually florid I might say, a crimison head of hair,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and how he was hired for the decidedly curious job
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: on that account, of course, it's the famous adventure of
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the redheaded leaf.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: How did you give, mister Harris? How did you have
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: a give
