- 0:49Speaker 2: eighteen hundred and eighty seven. I was marriaged at the
- 0:52Speaker 2: time and living away from Baker Street. On this night
- 0:55Speaker 2: in question, my wife had already gone to bed, and
- 0:58Speaker 2: I was nodding in front of the par over one
- 1:00Speaker 2: of Clark Russell's fine sea stories. I had a very
- 1:04Speaker 2: tarling day. I remember it was about the hour that
- 1:07Speaker 2: a man gives his first yawn and glances to the clock.
- 1:11Speaker 2: And suddenly my front door bell jangle discordantly. A servant
- 1:17Speaker 2: Edna had gone up to bed. So I crossed to
- 1:20Speaker 2: the window and opened it. It was the littly dark,
- 1:26Speaker 2: and I could just see the outcline of a figure
- 1:28Speaker 2: scanning on my doorstep. It looked like a woman. Suddenly,
- 1:32Speaker 2: a cultivated voice called up to me. Uh, yes, madam,
- 1:39Speaker 2: I'm the doctor.
- 1:42Speaker 4: And death I have a carryin.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Oh right, all right, I'll be down immediately. I closed
- 1:49Speaker 2: the window, scribbled an oue to my wife, wrapped my
- 1:52Speaker 2: coat and hat and my bag, and a few minutes
- 1:54Speaker 2: later I stepped out of the front door and closed
- 1:57Speaker 2: it behind me. Carriage was standing at the curb, but
- 2:01Speaker 2: I couldn't see any trace of the lady you called Bert.
- 2:04Speaker 2: The only person in sight was an old and impossive
- 2:07Speaker 2: look at bigger woman dressed in rags and tatters. After
- 2:11Speaker 2: a moment of bewilderment, I spoke, uh, woman, did you
- 2:17Speaker 2: see a lady leave here?
- 2:18Speaker 4: A moment ago no, doctor, she didn't leave. She's still
- 2:20Speaker 4: waiting for you.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Oh forgive me, madam, But who's the order? I thought
- 2:28Speaker 2: you're a beggar woman.
- 2:29Speaker 4: There is any time to discuss that.
- 2:30Speaker 5: Now, please get in this carriage.
- 2:33Speaker 6: Where's the driver I'm going to drive? Please get in.
- 2:39Speaker 2: Business. Are you sure that you can handle those horses? Madam?

- 4:39Speaker 5: look like a thieves kitchen?
- 4:41Speaker 2: Great Scott, I don't blame my eyes. Like curiously furnished room.
- 4:45Speaker 2: What a strange collection of people. Some look like beggars,
- 4:49Speaker 2: others in full evening dress.
- 4:51Speaker 8: Amazing number seven always this man the doctor I went
- 4:56Speaker 8: to kitchen. I thought, I said there were to be
- 4:58Speaker 8: no strangers.

- 5:02Speaker 2: beginning to wear a little thin. Either let me see

- 5:37Speaker 2: It's the worst thing in the world you could have done.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Never never move a person with an injured skull.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Is it going to be all right?
- 5:44Speaker 2: Doctor, Madam? He isn't his next broken. He's dead. Sure
- 5:53Speaker 2: of that, doctor, because I'm sure of it, My good man.
- 5:54Speaker 2: I'm afraid you need an undertaker, not a doctor.
- 5:59Speaker 8: Must tell the others.
- 6:04Speaker 2: I wired everybody.
- 6:08Speaker 8: Julian is dead.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Julia dead.

- 6:17Speaker 8: We don't want any strangers nosing about it. That's right, though,
- 6:19Speaker 8: should not bother me anyway.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Gentlemen, I assure you, ladies and gentlemen, I haven't the
- 6:24Speaker 2: slightest desire to stay here one moment longer. If you
- 6:27Speaker 2: direct me to the door again, Madam, I'll try to
- 6:29Speaker 2: find a cab myself and this doctor's taking just took
- 6:32Speaker 2: and go home.

- 6:49Speaker 2: Number seven?
- 6:50Speaker 4: No, but this gentleman is will you see if you

- 6:52Speaker 2: A cab for him to whom shall I send in
- 6:55Speaker 2: my bill?
- 6:55Speaker 5: Madam, here's a five pound note that should copy your
- 6:58Speaker 5: time in trouble, shouldn't.
- 6:59Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's far too much, madam.
- 7:01Speaker 5: No, doctor, it's late at night and it hasn't been
- 7:03Speaker 5: a very pleasant case for you.
- 7:04Speaker 6: Please take it.
- 7:06Speaker 2: Kind of very jealous indeed. But by the way, how
- 7:09Speaker 2: did you happen to come to me in the first place?
- 7:12Speaker 5: I was driving about looking for a doctor and a
- 7:14Speaker 5: policeman directed me to your house.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Found a cab. Thank you man, Thank you.
- 7:20Speaker 4: Doctor. May I come round in the morning for a
- 7:23Speaker 4: death certificate?
- 7:24Speaker 2: Of course, because you remember my address?
- 7:26Speaker 4: Yes, but I don't know your name?
- 7:27Speaker 2: Watson, Doctor, Watson.
- 7:30Speaker 5: Doctor, what's not not a doctor Watson who's associated with
- 7:34Speaker 5: Shellack Holmes?
- 7:38Speaker 2: That is that you know of me?
- 7:39Speaker 5: Good night, doctor, and please forget about everything you've seen.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Mh on my soul. An amazing business homes will be
- 8:08Speaker 2: interested to hear about this. And that's the way it was, Holmes,
- 8:22Speaker 2: one of the most curious adventures I ever held.
- 8:25Speaker 9: Without you interesting Watson, you say the sun gown cellar
- 8:27Speaker 9: was luxuriously furnished.
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yes, and the people there were an amazing mixture. Some
- 8:31Speaker 2: were in rags and some in evening dress like the
- 8:34Speaker 2: Nisser rime. Eh, some in rags and some in tags,
- 8:37Speaker 2: and some in velvet gown. Exactly give me the feeling
- 8:40Speaker 2: that I was taking part in the story out of
- 8:42Speaker 2: the Oragan nights. I must say, though I was pretty
- 8:45Speaker 2: angry at the time. However, after a good night's versta,
- 8:48Speaker 2: I feel quite differently this morning. But I thought i'd
- 8:51Speaker 2: just drop around and tell you all about it.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Dad.
- 8:52Speaker 3: You did, my deaf fellow.
- 8:53Speaker 9: It would be interesting to see if any repercussions.
- 8:56Speaker 3: If you are a strange adventure Richards, Oh.
- 8:58Speaker 2: I doubt it. The woman seemed frightened the death when
- 9:00Speaker 2: I mentioned your name.
- 9:01Speaker 9: We shall see. Meanwhile, I'm expecting a planned They're not
- 9:04Speaker 9: too busy.
- 9:05Speaker 3: Perhaps you can stay.
- 9:05Speaker 2: No like very much. Who is it in diagram?
- 9:08Speaker 9: Will tell you much more than I can arrive analgo
- 9:12Speaker 9: tell me look.
- 9:14Speaker 2: See at your lodgings this morning to discuss our problem.
- 9:20Speaker 2: Signed amst. The high handed message be at your lodgings,
- 9:26Speaker 2: so please. I suppose am S stands for.
- 9:30Speaker 3: I'm just tying with that problem when you arrived.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Could it be the American Medical.
- 9:35Speaker 3: School no, no, there's no such body.
- 9:37Speaker 9: It's the American Medical Association RGARO. A tone of the
- 9:42Speaker 9: message inclines me to believe that the age stands for
- 9:44Speaker 9: Amateur very.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Possibly Amateur mascul.
- 9:48Speaker 9: Society or the Amateur Murderers. Would be a nice spot,
- 9:54Speaker 9: wouldn't it. And as there representative, now no doubt to
- 9:59Speaker 9: save us the guess work homes.
- 10:01Speaker 2: It looks like the same carriage as I drove in
- 10:03Speaker 2: last night. The girl standing on your door just hight
- 10:06Speaker 2: of fashion.
- 10:08Speaker 3: Hudson's splendid.
- 10:10Speaker 9: It seems that we have not heard the end of
- 10:11Speaker 9: your adventure. Go and meet the lady at the top
- 10:14Speaker 9: of the stairs. Well you happen save missus Hudson's wakes, Thank.
- 10:20Speaker 2: You, Thank you all right, come me in, madam.
- 10:30Speaker 3: To your service, madam?
- 10:31Speaker 5: When down im Lady Dorothy Brownly, it's your voice.
- 10:36Speaker 2: You're the lady who fetched me last night. Just up
- 10:39Speaker 2: as a bigger woman.
- 10:40Speaker 5: Yes I am, doctor Watson. Forgive me for being so
- 10:42Speaker 5: mysterious at the time.
- 10:44Speaker 9: Doubtless you have come to consult me regarding last night's
- 10:47Speaker 9: unfortunate accident at the Amateur Mendicant Society.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Did you know what the initials stood for mister Home.
- 10:53Speaker 9: After hearing Doctor Watson's story of last night's happening, the
- 10:56Speaker 9: connotation seemed obbyous.
- 10:58Speaker 4: Am I right perfectly?
- 11:00Speaker 5: Last night when Doctor Watton told us Julian was dead,
- 11:03Speaker 5: we thought it was an accident.
- 11:04Speaker 3: And now you think it is a murder.
- 11:07Speaker 9: Eh, Lady Brahmeette, if you expect my help, there must
- 11:10Speaker 9: be no more mystery. Just what is this amateur Mendican society?
- 11:15Speaker 4: I'm as stray.
- 11:16Speaker 5: It will be a little hard for you to understand
- 11:17Speaker 5: our motives with a group of people, rather wealthy people.
- 11:21Speaker 5: I suppose we find pleasure in deliberately leading a seamy
- 11:25Speaker 5: life disguised as beggars. We use the basement the Jurion
- 11:28Speaker 5: last night, doctor is our headquarters. We keep our beggars
- 11:31Speaker 5: closed there and change out of them before we go home.
- 11:33Speaker 9: Fantastic I a futile, worthless way of spending your leisure time,
- 11:37Speaker 9: Lady Brahnette.
- 11:38Speaker 5: I suppose it must seem so may to Holmes. But
- 11:42Speaker 5: we are curious to learn how the other half lives.
- 11:44Speaker 5: And of course there's a certain thrill in rubbing shoulders
- 11:47Speaker 5: with the police.
- 11:48Speaker 3: At least we.
- 11:49Speaker 4: Do some good.
- 11:50Speaker 3: Indeed, I should be interested to.
- 11:52Speaker 5: Learn how all the money we make as beggars we
- 11:54Speaker 5: give to charity.
- 11:55Speaker 9: Oh do you really and you feel that this gesture
- 11:59Speaker 9: on your part of all from any responsibility to the
- 12:01Speaker 9: real beggars whose livelihood you are impairing.
- 12:05Speaker 4: I hadn't thought of it just like that. No, then
- 12:10Speaker 4: I suppose you won't want to help us.
- 12:11Speaker 3: Oh that's quite another matter, madam.
- 12:12Speaker 9: And as a professional detective, I cannot afford to be
- 12:15Speaker 9: a modelist.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Yes, I will investigate this case for you, though.
- 12:18Speaker 9: I warn you my fee will be an extremely high one.
- 12:20Speaker 5: Money isn't important, mister Holmes, as long as we can
- 12:23Speaker 5: solve Julian's death without bringing the police into the king.
- 12:27Speaker 3: Who is the dead man? The man you referred to
- 12:29Speaker 3: as Julian.
- 12:31Speaker 4: Julian treppor the poet. He was the one who started
- 12:34Speaker 4: out design.
- 12:35Speaker 3: I've read some of his work.
- 12:38Speaker 2: What makes you think that he was murdered?
- 12:40Speaker 5: Liny bran La you left last night, Doctor Watson. There
- 12:43Speaker 5: was a terrible scene you in never cydny hold.
- 12:46Speaker 2: He's a big fellow who is sawn pleasanter.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Yes, that's the one.
- 12:51Speaker 5: He said that he saw Lord Cecil deliberately tripped Julian
- 12:54Speaker 5: as he came to.
- 12:54Speaker 9: The head of the staircase, Lord Cecil being.
- 12:57Speaker 5: Lord set appearing son of the Earl of Lusham. There
- 13:01Speaker 5: was a bitter argument, says to the huge Sydney doing
- 13:03Speaker 5: the same thing. Then they had a dreadful fight. It
- 13:06Speaker 5: ended up with Sepper thretting to go to the police.
- 13:08Speaker 5: But that's when we decided to send a telegram to you.
- 13:13Speaker 9: So the proof of murder depends on such climsy evidence
- 13:16Speaker 9: as to whether the dead man fell or well, we say,
- 13:20Speaker 9: push what it seems.
- 13:22Speaker 5: Like, mister Holmes, even though you don't approve, Please help.
- 13:25Speaker 8: Us, won't you?
- 13:26Speaker 3: Yes, Lady Browney, I will.
- 13:27Speaker 4: Will you come back with me? Now? Do I headquarter him?
- 13:29Speaker 3: I will join you within the hour. In the meantime,
- 13:32Speaker 3: my old friend doctor Watson can go with you.
- 13:34Speaker 2: What could I do without you?
- 13:36Speaker 3: You know my method?
- 13:36Speaker 8: Don't chat back tocording there very well, but you promise
- 13:40Speaker 8: you'll be there.
- 13:40Speaker 3: I promise you that I will be there, madam.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Thank you so much, mister Holmes. We'll be expecting you.
- 13:45Speaker 7: Well.
- 13:45Speaker 2: I'll just get my hat and coat home.
- 13:49Speaker 3: What do you want to go with her?
- 13:51Speaker 9: And ask no more questions as I will join you
- 13:53Speaker 9: within the hour.
- 13:55Speaker 2: In your eye. I don't think you believe.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Her story, of course I don't watch.
- 13:59Speaker 8: Well and work and go with it, old fellow, and
- 14:01Speaker 8: keep your.
- 14:01Speaker 3: Wits about you. The game's a foot.
- 14:12Speaker 1: The story of the Amateur Mendican Society will continue in
- 14:15Speaker 1: just a few seconds time. I'd like to use to
- 14:17Speaker 1: remind you that you're really missing something until you try
- 14:20Speaker 1: having wine with your dinner, and I meet a Petree wine.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Let's say a Petrie California Burgundy or a Petrie California
- 14:26Speaker 1: Soul turned. Both wines are just made to make good
- 14:29Speaker 1: food taste better. If you like a red wine, try
- 14:32Speaker 1: Petri Burgundy, try it with hamburger, with stew, with any
- 14:36Speaker 1: meat or meat dish. And if you like a delicious
- 14:38Speaker 1: white wine, a wine that'll make chicken taste better than ever,
- 14:42Speaker 1: try a well chilled Petrie so turned with food. Nothing
- 14:46Speaker 1: can take the place of a good pet Tree wine.
- 14:58Speaker 1: And now back to tonight's her Lockholm's adventure. The Amateur
- 15:01Speaker 1: Mendicant Society, a group of wealthy eccentrics who posed as beggars,
- 15:05Speaker 1: have come to Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson with a problem.
- 15:08Speaker 1: One of their members has apparently been murdered, and the
- 15:10Speaker 1: famous Pair have been asked to investigate the killings. As
- 15:13Speaker 1: we rejoin our story, doctor Watson, still awaiting the arrival
- 15:16Speaker 1: of the Great Detective, is cross questioning three of the
- 15:19Speaker 1: members at the headquarters of this unusual But I.
- 15:23Speaker 2: Don't find your story very convincing, don't you. Now?
- 15:27Speaker 8: Let's suppose you stop asking questions until Sherlock Holmes gets here.
- 15:30Speaker 8: He's the man we've engaged to settle his business, not you.
- 15:33Speaker 8: We're paying for his services, not those of his assistant.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Mister Holmes asked me to conduct this preliminary investigation. My
- 15:40Speaker 2: good man, I'm perfect familiar with his methods, So keep
- 15:43Speaker 2: a civil toanue in your head if you want us
- 15:45Speaker 2: to continue with his case.
- 15:46Speaker 8: I'm not answering any more questions till he gets Here's potablefuler, Lord.
- 15:51Speaker 2: Cecil, you say that you saw Holt delibered to tip
- 15:53Speaker 2: the dead man as he came down the stairs last night, Yes,

- 16:12Speaker 10: do not remember to have seen him here before. He
- 16:15Speaker 10: speaks very rough. Did he get the correct signal? Yes,
- 16:19Speaker 10: I'm the passport.

- 17:18Speaker 8: and break the news to him.
- 17:20Speaker 2: We'll follow me.
- 17:24Speaker 7: This is terrible.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Please tell me what happened.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Doctor yourself for the shocks.
- 17:30Speaker 7: Your friend is dead head, his neck was sproken.
- 17:42Speaker 2: Last night and some brawl.
- 17:43Speaker 3: Except that, I do believe this is an accident.
- 17:46Speaker 8: Homes, but not quietly enough, mister Sherlock Holmes, come on,
- 17:52Speaker 8: come back to the others and let all take a
- 17:54Speaker 8: look at you. Come on, get moving, both of you.
- 17:56Speaker 8: This isn't a pop gun in my hands.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Sorry, Homes are holding away.
- 18:00Speaker 8: Oh, Cassil Dorothy, come here. I wanted to take a
- 18:04Speaker 8: look at the great Sherlock Holmes walked into our trap,
- 18:07Speaker 8: just like any stupid policeman. Now I had a dress
- 18:10Speaker 8: up to do.
- 18:11Speaker 2: It that, mister Olmes.
- 18:12Speaker 3: We were waiting for you here anyway. You know I'm
- 18:13Speaker 3: well aware of admister Holt. You see I knew I
- 18:16Speaker 3: was walking into.
- 18:17Speaker 4: A trap, did you know that, mister hol.
- 18:18Speaker 9: Lady Brownie, the story you brought was today was so
- 18:21Speaker 9: obviously a false one, just as there is no amateur
- 18:24Speaker 9: mendicant society.
- 18:26Speaker 8: Holmes, who heard miss Lms tell him, I see how
- 18:29Speaker 8: much you really do? Now, why star to tell you
- 18:32Speaker 8: what you already know on talk? If you know what's
- 18:35Speaker 8: good for you?
- 18:36Speaker 9: You're so persuasive, Aunt, mister Holt very well. Undoubtedly Julian
- 18:40Speaker 9: Trevor's dead last night was an accident. You fetched the doctor,
- 18:43Speaker 9: Lady Browney a very actual move, and later discovered that
- 18:46Speaker 9: the doctor in question was the old friend of Dolock Holmes.
- 18:50Speaker 3: We're all afraid that I.
- 18:51Speaker 9: Would become interested in your unusual society until you invented
- 18:54Speaker 9: that very thin story about the accident being a murder.
- 18:57Speaker 9: You wanted to lure me here so that I could
- 18:59Speaker 9: be this pose doll, and you could all continue your
- 19:02Speaker 9: nefarious works without hindurance.
- 19:05Speaker 8: Now aren't we clever? What is on a farious work?
- 19:08Speaker 8: May I ask?
- 19:09Speaker 2: No?
- 19:09Speaker 3: Password?
- 19:10Speaker 9: Gave me a two for the lanterns by the French revolutionists,
- 19:15Speaker 9: They strung the aristocrats up on the lamp posts. Then again,
- 19:18Speaker 9: the combination of curious costumes and a luxurious establishment in
- 19:22Speaker 9: a low class area posed another question. What political belief
- 19:26Speaker 9: provides a common meeting ground for misguided aristocrats and dangerous commoners,
- 19:31Speaker 9: and how did you.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Answer that question?
- 19:32Speaker 9: Or it is imple, my DearS, one word nihilism, its
- 19:36Speaker 9: doctrine of assassination and overthrow of government. To find every
- 19:38Speaker 9: chance of being put into practice by all of you
- 19:41Speaker 9: at the forthcoming Jubileus celebrations to be held here in London,
- 19:44Speaker 9: and also with a count for your beggars clothes. A
- 19:48Speaker 9: beggar would have greater.
- 19:49Speaker 3: Freedom of movement in a cloud than an ordinary person.
- 19:51Speaker 3: You're a clever man, mister Holmes. Too bad, you'll have
- 19:54Speaker 3: to die.
- 19:55Speaker 2: I'll get the roll.
- 19:56Speaker 4: What are you going to do with him?
- 19:57Speaker 8: Do give him my first hand to to nihilism. Of course,
- 20:02Speaker 8: I can't live.
- 20:03Speaker 2: I know too much. You can't possibly do this. You
- 20:05Speaker 2: know the police will track us her.
- 20:06Speaker 8: By the time the police get here, you and your
- 20:07Speaker 8: friend Homes will be blown.
- 20:08Speaker 3: The kingdom come.
- 20:11Speaker 8: And to gather. Mister Holmes, Oh my risk of mind?
- 20:17Speaker 3: We know it isn't that a shame?
- 20:19Speaker 2: Now?
- 20:20Speaker 8: There's any better fool. Tie up the doctor cecil while
- 20:22Speaker 8: I bind Homes as legs.
- 20:24Speaker 4: I can't go through with this.
- 20:25Speaker 8: Remain daughter, you can't go through it.
- 20:27Speaker 4: I just cants ten by and stay too innocent.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Then murder.
- 20:30Speaker 4: Don't be a fool on they We can't let them live.
- 20:32Speaker 2: They know too much, don't you.
- 20:34Speaker 4: If you go on with this, I'm going out for
- 20:35Speaker 4: the police.
- 20:36Speaker 8: You tie up as well, cecil, let me alone besides.
- 20:41Speaker 2: And go on.
- 20:43Speaker 4: You're the devil.
- 20:44Speaker 8: Shut up now, mister Holmes. I'm going to fetch a
- 20:48Speaker 8: little invention, a little invention.
- 20:50Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll be interested.
- 20:52Speaker 8: Mister Holmes, it's a pity you and your friend didn't
- 20:55Speaker 8: learn to mind your own business.
- 20:57Speaker 9: I'm afraid it's too late to teach an old dog.
- 21:00Speaker 3: You tricks.
- 21:01Speaker 8: Too late now at any rate, quite comfortable, doctor watch, don't.
- 21:04Speaker 2: You speak to me. You're a filtered traitor to your
- 21:06Speaker 2: comfort of rubbish.
- 21:07Speaker 8: Here we are example of Mikhail Petrov's mechanical genius. This
- 21:13Speaker 8: bomb will blow the entire building sky high. The three
- 21:16Speaker 8: of you are with it, nah, I wind the time
- 21:19Speaker 8: clock so and set the fuse to go off in
- 21:25Speaker 8: in five minutes. Will give us plenty of time to
- 21:27Speaker 8: get away.
- 21:28Speaker 2: So come on, siting, let's get out.
- 21:35Speaker 8: Of your ride. Charming. Picture three of your bound hand
- 21:39Speaker 8: and foot sitting beside each other on the sofa.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Tada, doorth it?
- 21:44Speaker 8: Think of our cause during the five minutes ask for you,
- 21:47Speaker 8: mister Olmes and your friend.
- 21:48Speaker 2: But reading the bad rubbish, this looks like myself. I
- 22:01Speaker 2: haven't been so infernally noising and I recognized you, we
- 22:04Speaker 2: wouldn't be in this mess.
- 22:07Speaker 3: I think they suspected me anyway.
- 22:09Speaker 2: I must say it seemed to me that you told
- 22:11Speaker 2: them a great deal more than was necessary about your suspicions.
- 22:14Speaker 2: Surely you could have pretended ignorant.
- 22:16Speaker 3: I could have done.
- 22:17Speaker 6: God, I'm not ready to.
- 22:19Speaker 9: Go, by the way, was I right in assuming with
- 22:23Speaker 9: your associates on nihilists?
- 22:25Speaker 4: It's what they are. They're planning to assassinate the Prime Minister?
- 22:30Speaker 4: Do you believe telebraate my Minster?
- 22:32Speaker 2: Great heapens homes.
- 22:32Speaker 9: We've got to get free, assuming some ridical happened and
- 22:35Speaker 9: we did get free, and your former associates but are
- 22:38Speaker 9: ranged in court.
- 22:38Speaker 3: Would you testify against them? Of course I would?
- 22:41Speaker 4: But what chance is there they.
- 22:47Speaker 5: Bother?
- 22:48Speaker 3: I'll stop it for you Holmes.
- 22:51Speaker 9: Your hands are free, But then its wrist I mentioned
- 22:55Speaker 9: just now, I've concealed a.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Razor edged blade. I cut through the ropes almost before
- 22:58Speaker 3: our friends had left the room.
- 23:00Speaker 4: Then why did you keep us in the suspense.
- 23:02Speaker 9: Mister Home, I wanted to quite sure that you testify
- 23:04Speaker 9: on the forthcoming trial.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Madam. We are that renders the bomb harveys.
- 23:10Speaker 8: Ah, and that means that the police have.
- 23:13Speaker 9: Sprung the fact that I set your associates.
- 23:15Speaker 3: Lady Brownlee.
- 23:16Speaker 9: It's lucky for you that you had a change of
- 23:18Speaker 9: heart and prevented you from leaving us.
- 23:20Speaker 4: Oh, mister Holmes, heart, did I ever thank you?
- 23:23Speaker 2: Home? You have the place surrounded with police when you
- 23:26Speaker 2: came in here.
- 23:26Speaker 3: As I did, my dear fellow.
- 23:27Speaker 9: Yeah, no wonder he was so calm.
- 23:31Speaker 2: No wonder. You told them so much. You wanted them
- 23:34Speaker 2: to show their hair.
- 23:35Speaker 9: A sience, old fellow, and they obliged me most satisfactorily.
- 23:39Speaker 3: They attempted triple murder.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Ye are self confessed anarchists, and with the evidence of
- 23:44Speaker 1: lady Brownlee, I'm sure that we can put them of
- 23:46Speaker 1: They all belong. Considering it's barely noon, I think you'll
- 23:50Speaker 1: agree Watson, that is a very comprehensive morning's work.
