  Speaker 3: a butt of malmsey wine.

  Speaker 2: can't but.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you see she almost ran into that beet eater.

• 2:14
  Speaker 3: What's the matter with the girl? Can't you see where
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: she's going? Probably not Watson. She's trying desperately to keep

  Speaker 3: from crying.

  Speaker 2: Great Scottish lady Cynthia, sister of that ass Bobbys Simon
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: and daughter of the Duke of Balmarle.

• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Berk's peerage.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, and this I'm very much mistaken.

• 2:40
  Speaker 3: been trucked in the guardhouse and threatened the court martial
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and dismissal from the tower guards, good Lord whatever.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: For stealing.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Watson is accused of purloining a precious golden platter.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, another thought.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: We might run into the lady Cynthia if we visited
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the tower this afternoon. Holmes, you fraud, and I thought
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you came here to feed the ravens.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: If she is my dear lady Cynthia, is anything I
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: can do? No, No, you I'm quite all right.

  Speaker 4: That's similar in my eye. There's nothing. Wait a minute,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: you're mister Sherlock Holmes. I don't know what to say.
• 3:14

  Speaker 2: to clean his boots.

  Speaker 4: Why did he have to be put in charge of
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: the tower. I'm making a perfect space of myself. What
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: will everyone thinks?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: That's the heat of the sun. Very very fine.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Suppose we could slip into the little chapel of some
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Peter's up ahead there where.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: It's quat and dark and cool.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: We'll pick out a.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Nice comfortable pew and you can tell shellock food all
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: There we are, my dear. Suppose we take the third puple.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Thank you Watson. You might offer the lady who worked
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: with smelling salts with handkerchiefs.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: And I'll be all right in a minute.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Quite as you know what's from.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: The premises known as the Tower of London are completely
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: surrounded by the City of London. It's a self ruled
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: and regulated community. Its gates are locked at night, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: its ancient moti. Although it's drained to make a parade ground,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: is still capable of being flooded.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Sounds fairly medieval, and.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: The absolute ruler of the entire place, The individual whose
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: word is law is the mayor and governor in this
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: case Old Blood and Bullets alias Stafford Lodger.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Correct. He resides on the premises as do his officers
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and men.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: That's right, mister Holmes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: Well, last night the stafford Lodge invited five of the
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: younger officers to his quarters for dinner, the ones who
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: are petitioned to marry this June, you know, good.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Lord, do they have to get permission from him to
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: do that too?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: No, not to get married exactly. But he does say
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: whether or not he considers the young ladies suitable, you know.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: And if he decides there not, Oh, then the prospective
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: bridegroom is advised to give up the whole idea or
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: resigned from the gods.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: How perfectly, Bob Barrick.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Quite so, you can imagine how divily the poor chaffs
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: were when he got round.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: They've been summoned to hear the do you know us
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: to be at eight?
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: And promptly at three minutes past they sat down at
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: the Stafford's.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Oak table in his sitting room in the Byword Tower.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Byword Tower.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: But I thought the governor's quarters were always in Kings House,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: and so they are.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: But that would be too cozy and cheerful for the
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: old stulture. No, he's moved into Byword Tower because his
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: grimmar I that bound.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I wonder it's not a rather strategic advantages, you.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Know, byword tower, his curious appellation, Holmes.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: When I got the name Iywott was formerly a synonym
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: for password Watson. Byword tower is always been the main
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: entrance to the power of London.
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: Of course, that's why he's moved there, so he could
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: spy on his men as they went in them out.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: There could just possibly be another reason, you know, however,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I suppose you finished telling me about the dinner party.
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, it is a very elegant dinner party, properly chilled
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: white wine with the turbot an excellent burgundy with a roast.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Not that anyone but old blood and Bullets had much appetite.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: He eats like an anaconda. Well, finally they came to
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: the suite.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: It was served on an enormous golden.
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: Platter, which Sir Stafford and had specially brought into the occasion.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Bring me that part, and had finished off that last
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: bit of pudding.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Yes, and want these young hoples have a good look
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: at the design underneath?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are there.
• 7:27

  Speaker 3: Right, you are by quarter presented by Philip of Spain
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: to Elizabeth when he was courting the lady. Hence the

  Speaker 3: the little keepings. Yes, it is under appropriate to this
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: occasion and what That's why I had it brought over.

  Speaker 3: During my tenure hair in charge of the Tower, I
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: shall make one further ruling about young ladies who marry
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: into the court, Sir, As you know, the officers in
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: his outfit are a handpicked block. We've always both the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: best blood in the empire, even if we are only
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: younger son.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: My point exactly.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Youngest sons are so often not too well supplied with
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: worthy goods.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: That's one of the reasons which shows.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: The army, Sir.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Don't interrupt, Sorry, sir.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: The pay of an officer and the tower guard is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: enough to keep him in proper style.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: If he is a bachelor, Now what's he getting out
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: high from it?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: It has, however, come to my attention that men and
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: families sometimes helped to scrape the big Don't tell me
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: the old boy is going to get us a raisin pay,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: not old blood and bullets. The tower guards called upon
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: an appear on many occasions of state. During the last
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Royal Review, I was hurri paid to notice that the
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: dress uniforms have two captains, both of them married men,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: showed signs of wear.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: One of them had a small down on the lip sleeve.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Horrors the empire of his crumbling.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Consequently, I feel it incumbent upon me to make a
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: new ruling.
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: Dy and me wishing to marry anop so the.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Tower God must bring with her a dowry of five
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: thousand pounds minimum.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Right, sir, it's impossible.
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: The girls we want to marry there from good families,
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: but they're not rid.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Then I suggest you look around a bit further until

  Speaker 1: A note that should get her spice and Peter himself.

• 23:54
  Speaker 1: You will you will give me away, mister Holmes, I've been.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: A laughing start of the entire British Army. Think of

  Speaker 3: my patients, Think of the battles I've went, Think of
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: the men you browbeaten the bullet think of the young ladies.
• 24:04
