- 0:00Speaker 1: Now that to watching. You have my complete attention for
- 0:03Speaker 1: the adventure of the submerged nobleman. Glory is yours, whoa.
- 0:07Speaker 2: That strange affair took place many years ago.
- 0:11Speaker 3: Holmes and I have been spending several days at the
- 0:13Speaker 3: seaside resort of Brighten late.
- 0:15Speaker 4: In July, but not for pleasure, as you might think.
- 0:19Speaker 2: We have been concerning ourselves for the.
- 0:21Speaker 1: Most peculiar crime.
- 0:23Speaker 2: And only that morning has successfully concluded the affair the politicians,
- 0:27Speaker 2: the lighthouse and the train Cormorande. In a few hours
- 0:31Speaker 2: to waste before returning to vacancy, I persuaded Holmes to
- 0:35Speaker 2: join mimics against his will, for a stroll along the
- 0:38Speaker 2: front by the sea.
- 0:43Speaker 3: You must have met Holmes at the first steed breeches.
- 0:46Speaker 3: The most delightful as the way that we've been scooped.
- 0:48Speaker 4: Up these see glass few days. I find them are
- 0:51Speaker 4: the watchers.
- 0:52Speaker 1: They were not quite so heavily laden with the odor
- 0:54Speaker 1: of the chief peperments and the founder of even cheaper You, oh, come,
- 0:57Speaker 1: come and here.
- 0:58Speaker 5: For our England's playground.
- 0:59Speaker 1: You know, and all very well, Watson, But I do
- 1:02Speaker 1: wish the members of the younger generation wouldn't select my
- 1:04Speaker 1: feet to play on.
- 1:05Speaker 2: So look over their homes down on that pier selling
- 1:10Speaker 2: fa oh we several hours. I'll wager that I haven't
- 1:13Speaker 2: forgotten my boyhood.
- 1:14Speaker 5: Skilled with a small boat.
- 1:15Speaker 1: What about it? Well, at least the sea has the
- 1:18Speaker 1: advantage of being comparatively uncrowded. Lead on, Watson. I must
- 1:34Speaker 1: congratulate you, Watson, and you're a skillful handling about class.
- 1:37Speaker 1: You reveal a challenge I didn't know you present.
- 1:39Speaker 6: I haven't done it for years.
- 1:41Speaker 3: I don't seem to have lost an act.
- 1:42Speaker 5: So do I.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I'll right away from shore about two miles.
- 1:46Speaker 3: I supped since rising to you.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I think we'd better que about.
- 1:49Speaker 4: But now watch your head hams okay, Watson.
- 1:58Speaker 1: That boat up there a few hundred yards off, isn't
- 2:00Speaker 1: it behaving rather hardly?
- 2:02Speaker 2: That is probably some weekend ciples.
- 2:04Speaker 3: Another fellow about before the silipoon turns.
- 2:07Speaker 1: Lookut us see that woman waiting to look frantic. She's
- 2:11Speaker 1: pointing a stir I'll had home.
- 2:13Speaker 2: We run up to them of this text, but I'm
- 2:15Speaker 2: afraid it'll be wet.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Guys.
- 2:19Speaker 1: There are two women, Watson. One of them is standing
- 2:21Speaker 1: up Sili spool.
- 2:22Speaker 5: She's able to have the book over season cattle.
- 2:24Speaker 2: He's showing something.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Can you make it out?
- 2:28Speaker 4: I caught the word browning, okay, Watson for the.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Left something or someone in the water.
- 2:36Speaker 4: And I see him, I see him. I come out
- 2:38Speaker 4: into the wind.
- 2:38Speaker 3: As we reach him, they get many homes.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Little more this way there, I thought it give me
- 2:47Speaker 1: her hand here one right here up begging me. He
- 2:55Speaker 1: we better take him in coll homes. I'm afraid that's
- 2:57Speaker 1: nothing we can do for this poor fellow. Watson. That's
- 2:59Speaker 1: not even thinks of kind of approach.
- 3:01Speaker 7: Don't.
- 3:01Speaker 5: We'll be with you in a minute.
- 3:03Speaker 1: We're going to take the two ladies aboard with us.
- 3:06Speaker 1: That's hold.
- 3:06Speaker 4: If we come along, time.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Your hands. That's right, I'm afraid of hopeful by the
- 3:15Speaker 1: time we'll reach.

- 3:21Speaker 1: You must.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Go jo.
- 3:34Speaker 7: Nothing yourself with my dear.
- 3:38Speaker 4: Where is the guest?
- 3:38Speaker 7: Gentlemen, would still for that ship of sand beyond the
- 3:41Speaker 7: headman there where you see the large white house just
- 3:44Speaker 7: abs that lord colors his house.
- 3:47Speaker 4: All right, you asked.
- 3:48Speaker 3: We'll be down a few minutes for the following.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Will thank you.
- 3:51Speaker 4: Uh.
- 3:52Speaker 7: The gentlemen whom you attempted to rest you was Lord
- 3:55Speaker 7: hut this is his vice lay Lady Diana, and i'm
- 3:58Speaker 7: her companions.
- 3:59Speaker 4: Miscut must thank you for coming, Charles, not at all.
- 4:05Speaker 1: I knowly sorry we were not in time to save.
- 4:06Speaker 6: Lord Hollis's life.
- 4:08Speaker 1: But this is doctor Watson and my name is Chlae.
- 4:10Speaker 4: Come for after no one.
- 4:29Speaker 3: You'll be all right now, Miss Catt and I stayed
- 4:31Speaker 3: with the poor girl untill the sleeping love to effect.
- 4:34Speaker 7: Thank you so much, doctor Watson, may after you some key.
- 4:38Speaker 7: I see there is nothing so integrating as a good
- 4:40Speaker 7: cup of no no, thank you.
- 4:42Speaker 1: While you were upstairs, Watson, I sent a certain to
- 4:45Speaker 1: fetch doctor Miller, lord Hollis's position. Fortunately he's also the
- 4:49Speaker 1: coroner for this district.
- 4:50Speaker 7: I'm sorry that you gentlemen are leaving for London this afternoon.
- 4:54Speaker 7: I know that Lady Diana would want to extend her
- 4:56Speaker 7: deepest thanks to you as soon as she's recovered from
- 4:59Speaker 7: this first shocked.
- 5:00Speaker 1: And Miss Cartwright has been giving me the details which
- 5:03Speaker 1: led up to the gradet They wasn't She is fully
- 5:05Speaker 1: familiar with all the circumstances since she was Lady Diana's
- 5:08Speaker 1: governess as a little girl, and has remained with her
- 5:10Speaker 1: as a companion ever since her marriage to the late
- 5:12Speaker 1: Lord Hollis.
- 5:13Speaker 7: As I have often heard of mister Shallock holmbs doctor Watson,
- 5:16Speaker 7: but perhaps I had consided in him more freely than
- 5:19Speaker 7: I should have. But I knew that what I tell
- 5:22Speaker 7: you both will go No, Sir Lord Hollis, I regret
- 5:26Speaker 7: to say, drank to access. He wasn't you know, doubt notice,
- 5:31Speaker 7: a very fleshy and corpulent man, and Doctor Miller had
- 5:34Speaker 7: us round him against his indulgence in fool and study.
- 5:38Speaker 7: This morning he drank almost a full battle of rangy,
- 5:41Speaker 7: after which she insisted on going saving Both Lady Diana
- 5:45Speaker 7: and I did out at most to dissuade him that
- 5:48Speaker 7: when his mind was made up, it was impassible to
- 5:50Speaker 7: argue with him. He was utterly incapable of handling a
- 5:54Speaker 7: vote in his conditions, so Lady Diana managed to prevail
- 5:57Speaker 7: upon him to let us accompany him, whom the alcohol
- 6:01Speaker 7: made him fool, hardy and wreck it. She had asked
- 6:04Speaker 7: him to turn back several times before we got into
- 6:06Speaker 7: such a gross water, but the more she pleaded, the
- 6:09Speaker 7: more sudden he came. Just before we sighted you, he
- 6:13Speaker 7: stood up to make some adjustment in the sale the.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Boat pitched, and he said overboard.
- 6:19Speaker 7: You know what happens next.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Time the treasuders covered the Holmes.
- 6:24Speaker 4: There's nothing more we can do.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Here on Our boat's still down on the beach below.
- 6:28Speaker 6: We better be getting back to it and to Brighten
- 6:30Speaker 6: if we're to catch the afternoon train London.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Yes, we should be getting along. Goodbye, note card, right.
- 6:35Speaker 7: I'll walk down the pass and due to your boom, oh.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Please don't trouble yourself, we will have no difficulty in
- 6:39Speaker 1: finding our ways. Good sight in and thank you for
- 6:44Speaker 1: all you goodbye's cover, Goodbye.
- 6:50Speaker 6: Terrible thing homes young woman like that, who's all life blighted.
- 6:54Speaker 1: By such a tragic No doubt that she should have
- 6:57Speaker 1: painted just when she did.
- 7:00Speaker 3: To me, most natural the woman should paint upon discovering
- 7:03Speaker 3: the husband she loves the.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Ground And allow me to correct you, watson'on, Lady Diana
- 7:07Speaker 1: did not paint of the news that her husband was dead.
- 7:10Speaker 1: She fainted when she heard my name, or Willeholme's egotisms
- 7:13Speaker 1: are very well.
- 7:14Speaker 2: But not when it leads you to suspect everyone of
- 7:16Speaker 2: being a criminal.
- 7:17Speaker 1: And perhaps your stictures are justified. Godson, Well, here we
- 7:20Speaker 1: are the beach, which may offer proof or disproof of my.
- 7:23Speaker 4: Suspicion were you will notice that when.
- 7:26Speaker 1: The corrobors came up with you and I carrying the body,
- 7:29Speaker 1: I chose a route across the sand which would leave
- 7:31Speaker 1: undisturbed the footprints which Lord and Lady Hollis and the
- 7:33Speaker 1: scarf title made when embarking this morning becsul not of
- 7:36Speaker 1: Tretia Watson, but exactly stink in the wet stand. With
- 7:40Speaker 1: close attentions.
- 7:42Speaker 4: See the ordinary.
- 7:44Speaker 1: There are three sets of them, precisely, the small one,
- 7:47Speaker 1: the Lady Diana's, and those larger principal women's feet of
- 7:50Speaker 1: Miss Cartry. How do you know which is rich? Because
- 7:52Speaker 1: I took the trouble to look at the shoes both
- 7:54Speaker 1: of the ladies were wearing.
- 7:55Speaker 4: And those large imprints from a rather soul where I'm.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Gladly made by Lord Holland I noticed.
- 8:01Speaker 4: That they waver a trifle which bears out.
- 8:03Speaker 1: The reporter of his condition. Capital Watson. Your observation is
- 8:07Speaker 1: indeed to be commended.
- 8:08Speaker 6: Thank you, emerge.
- 8:09Speaker 1: But the most important point about these foot Prince, seems
- 8:11Speaker 1: to have entirely escaped your eye. Here we go again.
- 8:14Speaker 1: I don't understand you can think it. Although while we're
- 8:16Speaker 1: on our way back to Brighten me yes, to Brightening
- 8:20Speaker 1: our ruth to call on Colonel Sheridan.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Sheridan, why he's the chief constabably CONTI.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Isn'tly precisely, Watson, Come on, let's be going. I must admit,
- 8:40Speaker 1: mister Holmes, I'm deeply shocked by the suggestion you just made.
- 8:44Speaker 1: I can easily understand that, Colonel Sheridan. Nevertheless, I feel
- 8:47Speaker 1: it my duty to lay the evidence before you. Climsy evidence,
- 8:50Speaker 1: you must admit, mister Holmes. Climsy perhaps, but it offers
- 8:54Speaker 1: food for thought. Lord how his foot prints in the
- 8:57Speaker 1: sands were not nearly as deep as those led by
- 8:59Speaker 1: his wife and Miss This despite the fact that he
- 9:02Speaker 1: was an unusually heavy man.
- 9:03Speaker 4: You are, Holmes at fair.
- 9:04Speaker 1: I'm sure you did, Watson, and your conclusion from those
- 9:08Speaker 1: foot Prince, Mister Holmes, the extreme depth of Lady Diana's
- 9:11Speaker 1: and Miss kirkwrite. The Prince admits that only one conclusion, Colonel,
- 9:15Speaker 1: what you mean? Their feet sank into the sand because
- 9:18Speaker 1: they were carrying something heavy, not something Colonel someone.
- 9:22Speaker 3: Good Heaven hold Lord Hollis's body quite but dash it all, man,
- 9:27Speaker 3: We saw the man drown.
- 9:29Speaker 1: I fear miss correct you Watson. We saw the man's
- 9:31Speaker 1: body floating in the water. We did not see him drown.
- 9:35Speaker 1: I fear we would need far more convincing evidence than
- 9:38Speaker 1: those footprinted. The tide is probably washed away by now,
- 9:41Speaker 1: even to consider the necessity for action by the police,
- 9:44Speaker 1: mister Holme, I understand your position, Colonel. May I request, however,
- 9:48Speaker 1: that doctor Miller, the coroner, conducted a most thoroughpost mortem,
- 9:51Speaker 1: was caause with special attention to any possible bruises on
- 9:54Speaker 1: the body, any evidence indicating that Lord Hollis might have
- 9:57Speaker 1: been struck a blow that rented him unconscious before he
- 10:00Speaker 1: was pushed overboard. I shall instruct doctor Miller accordingly, mister Holmes.
- 10:03Speaker 1: But I still can't believes anything wrong Nold with Hollison's
- 10:09Speaker 1: use a boy. It was a fine chat, generalous, excellent
- 10:11Speaker 1: writer at her house, or although bit over fond of
- 10:14Speaker 1: the bottle. Yes, Miss Carter told us, Oh, miss Cartwright,
- 10:17Speaker 1: who that woman gives me the cold shivers. She's got
- 10:20Speaker 1: an eye like a basilisk. What about Lady Diana, Colonel
- 10:24Speaker 1: why pat say that I know much about her call
- 10:27Speaker 1: when they were first married, But my wife and her
- 10:30Speaker 1: friends didn't seem to feel that she was quite you understand,
- 10:35Speaker 1: pretty little thing? I thought, oh, very very don't know
- 10:37Speaker 1: where she came from before she married, Hollis I have
- 10:40Speaker 1: an idea of what my wife one said. She had
- 10:42Speaker 1: a rather checkered past. I know she didn't have a
- 10:44Speaker 1: penny to her name before she married. Well, Colonel, we
- 10:47Speaker 1: must be on our way. I would appreciate it if
- 10:49Speaker 1: you'd name me a copy of the Colonel's findings to
- 10:52Speaker 1: two twenty one b. Baker Stream there to mister Holmes.
- 10:54Speaker 1: But I think I hope you will be disappointed.
- 11:00Speaker 5: As the homes.
- 11:13Speaker 2: You might stop flying in that chair, staying vaguely at
- 11:16Speaker 2: the space.
- 11:17Speaker 4: Then they have our pecking.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I couldn't leave you half now, Okay, all right, I
- 11:24Speaker 1: can't wondering, though.
- 11:25Speaker 6: Oh, wondering what.
- 11:29Speaker 5: Homes you get?
- 11:30Speaker 4: Morbid?
- 11:30Speaker 1: I remember ladies IPOs over the head?
- 11:33Speaker 4: Would the mask? I could swear there was no.
- 11:36Speaker 5: Such mark on the body.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Possibly, But and if he was poisoned the card of
- 11:40Speaker 1: the portal shirt. But if he were neither hit over
- 11:43Speaker 1: the head nor poisoned, But how else could have.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Prail little woman like lady down and overcome a robust
- 11:49Speaker 3: man like our husband, just wasting your time, homes if
- 11:52Speaker 3: you ask me, if I didn't.
- 11:55Speaker 6: Didn't word ask you, well.
- 12:02Speaker 3: That finishes my tacky.
- 12:03Speaker 1: I only wish I had time for tub for the train.
- 12:05Speaker 1: What do you say?
- 12:06Speaker 3: I said, I only wish I had time for tub
- 12:08Speaker 3: bass for the train.
- 12:09Speaker 1: A bit on the sort of side, since I sail
- 12:11Speaker 1: this morning, by jove, Watson, thank you? What are you
- 12:16Speaker 1: talking about? Yes, it's a possibility, a distinct possibility. Come on,
- 12:20Speaker 1: forget that train. You and I are going to pay
- 12:22Speaker 1: a visit to doctor Miller, the coroner. But it's fantastic,
- 12:38Speaker 1: mister Holmes, I've never heard of such a thing. That
- 12:40Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's impossible. Doctor Miller, you are certain
- 12:43Speaker 1: that you found no bruises on the body.
- 12:44Speaker 6: Absolutely, I'll take my professional reputation. And then who closes
- 12:48Speaker 6: a poison?
- 12:49Speaker 1: None? Who occurred to me is supposing that Lord Hollis's
- 12:53Speaker 1: heart had given out her Unfortunately, if your.
- 12:55Speaker 6: Hypothesis, doctor Watson, lord Hollis's heart was an extremely sound shake. No,
- 13:00Speaker 6: the evidence shows conclusively that it was death by drowning.
- 13:04Speaker 1: And I am so stating in my deport you see, Holmes,
- 13:06Speaker 1: I told you Nevertheless, I would still like to see
- 13:09Speaker 1: the body, Doctum Miller.
- 13:10Speaker 6: Very well, very well, it's in here. You see that
- 13:15Speaker 6: I've already got along fairly well with the post mortine.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Now, gentlemen, it won't take long to discover the idea
- 13:21Speaker 1: that Doctor Watson so brilliantly suggested to me is a
- 13:23Speaker 1: valued one.
- 13:24Speaker 6: Your idea, doctor was, don't ask me, do you go?
- 13:27Speaker 4: I have the faintest idea what Holmes is driving at?
- 13:29Speaker 1: What is lungs are filled with water, not unnatural.
- 13:32Speaker 6: And the man who's been.
- 13:33Speaker 1: Drowned, at least it proves that he was alive when
- 13:36Speaker 1: he went into the water. I knew it. This was
- 13:39Speaker 1: no accident, gentlemen.
- 13:40Speaker 6: It was murder. Murder. How do you know, Holmes?
- 13:44Speaker 1: Lord Horace was supposed to have drowned in the sea
- 13:46Speaker 1: before the very eyes of Dr Watson and myself. There's
- 13:49Speaker 1: no mark on his body, and his lungs are full
- 13:51Speaker 1: of water. But that water, gentleman, is not salt water,
- 13:55Speaker 1: as it should be. It is fresh water. In just
- 14:09Speaker 1: a moment, we returned to Sherlock Holmes as the endeavors
- 14:12Speaker 1: to solve the mystery of the strange death of Lord Hollis. Men,
- 14:16Speaker 1: It's never too late to help improve the appearance of
- 14:19Speaker 1: your hair. And when you buy a hair tonic, why
- 14:22Speaker 1: not buy one that does lots more than just keep
- 14:24Speaker 1: hair looking handsome. Why not get your money's worth and
- 14:28Speaker 1: buy Kreml hair toning. No other hair tonic keeps the
- 14:31Speaker 1: hair more neatly groomed than attractive looking. Kremmel gives hair
- 14:35Speaker 1: that handsome, clean cut appearance, as if your barber had
- 14:38Speaker 1: just combed it. In addition, Kremmel is simply great to
- 14:41Speaker 1: lubricate a dry scalp. At the same time, it removes itchy,
- 14:44Speaker 1: loose dandrufs and leaves the scalps feeling so clean, refreshed,
- 14:48Speaker 1: and alive. No wonder Kremmel is preferred among America's most
- 14:52Speaker 1: prosperous men. Buy a bottle of Cremel at any drug
- 14:55Speaker 1: contest for an application at your barber shop. Use this
- 14:59Speaker 1: highly special rised hair tonic daily for better groomed hair,
- 15:03Speaker 1: a more hygienic scout j R. E.
- 15:06Speaker 6: M L.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Kremmell hair Tonic. Now, Doctor Watson, what happened at the
- 15:12Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes's startling discovery that the late Warde Hollis had
- 15:15Speaker 1: been drowned in fresh water.
- 15:17Speaker 3: We returned to our hotel of all thoughts, going back
- 15:19Speaker 3: to London and the beds.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Holmes paced up and down, deep in thought.
- 15:24Speaker 3: His pipe was tense in his jaws, and the room
- 15:27Speaker 3: was blue with the fumes, with.
- 15:29Speaker 1: The backers fiendishly creper, thought Watson, and one which came
- 15:34Speaker 1: within the tiniest march in a succeeding. I can't argue
- 15:36Speaker 1: with the evidence.
- 15:37Speaker 6: Homes, but I still fail to see her, a little
- 15:39Speaker 6: slip of a girl, missus.
- 15:40Speaker 2: Lady Hollis could first be overpower and drown a strong
- 15:43Speaker 2: active man, unless you're suggesting that her husband.
- 15:46Speaker 1: Was so drunks to be in his stupor.
- 15:48Speaker 4: When he was killed.
- 15:49Speaker 1: Not at all. There is one set of circumstances on
- 15:52Speaker 1: to which even a small person would have no difficulty
- 15:55Speaker 1: in drowning a much large one. Come here, Watson, and
- 15:58Speaker 1: I'll give you a demonstration. Now, if you seat yourself
- 16:05Speaker 1: in the bath and imagine for a moment that you're
- 16:07Speaker 1: Lord Hollis.
- 16:10Speaker 4: He's rather sillow.
- 16:12Speaker 1: Excellent. Now lean back in the time, relaxing, enjoying your
- 16:17Speaker 1: nationary bath in the part of Lady Diana.
- 16:22Speaker 4: I enter walk over to you with some casual remark.
- 16:26Speaker 1: And suddenly do this se pulling a person's feet. Suddenly
- 16:31Speaker 1: I put round, he's in the PANTBM, there's yours outright right?
- 16:34Speaker 5: All right?
- 16:36Speaker 1: It will you let your night feet that had been
- 16:38Speaker 1: full of water, My dear fellow, your head would now
- 16:41Speaker 1: be submerged. Despite your most violent struggles. And in that position,
- 16:44Speaker 1: as you can see, it is utterly impossible to get
- 16:46Speaker 1: a grip on the sides of.
- 16:47Speaker 3: The Tub's most convincing, I shall keep my bathroom door
- 16:52Speaker 3: up in the future.
- 16:52Speaker 4: When I'm having a bath.
- 16:54Speaker 1: The difficulty, Watson, rests not in convincing you, but a jury.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Our evidence is slender and the extreme. Whether defense lawyer
- 17:01Speaker 1: would have no difficulty in tearing so tenuous a thread apart?
- 17:04Speaker 1: If I know anything about juris, tell me, Holmes that.
- 17:07Speaker 3: The perpetrator of so fiendish and cold birded a crime
- 17:11Speaker 3: is to be allowed to go free.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Let me call your attention, Watson, to the fact that
- 17:15Speaker 1: both Lady Diana and Miss Cartwright, beneath their frail and
- 17:18Speaker 1: helpless exteriors, must be women of the utmost resolution and determination.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Perhaps the two of them had planned out the whole
- 17:25Speaker 1: drizzly business fire in advance. At any rate, after Lady
- 17:28Speaker 1: Diana drowned him, they must have taken the dead man
- 17:31Speaker 1: from the tub, dressed him, and together one at his
- 17:34Speaker 1: feet and one at his head, carried him down to
- 17:36Speaker 1: their boat. That of course accounts for the deep indentations
- 17:39Speaker 1: of their footprints. But Lord Hollis's prince very simple. Once
- 17:42Speaker 1: the body was in the boat, with Miss Cartwright guarding it,
- 17:45Speaker 1: lated Diana walked down the shore below high tide mark
- 17:48Speaker 1: and up to the house by another roof. See then
- 17:51Speaker 1: she she put on a pair of Lord Hollis's shoes,
- 17:55Speaker 1: walked out of the boat, thus creating the principle supposed
- 17:58Speaker 1: to be his. Quite so, then they sailed out, waited
- 18:02Speaker 1: until some boat was near enough for their signals of
- 18:04Speaker 1: this treat to be visible, slid the body overboard, and
- 18:06Speaker 1: began to act out their little drama or hang together.
- 18:09Speaker 1: As an explanation, yes, as evidence knows, and as I
- 18:14Speaker 1: told you at the beginning, Watson, those two women are
- 18:16Speaker 1: not the type whom a simple accusation will break down.
- 18:19Speaker 1: You can wager that the Royal Miss Cartwright will guard
- 18:21Speaker 1: her mistress's secret with her life. And as for Lady Diana,
- 18:25Speaker 1: a woman capable of killing her husband in so diabolically
- 18:28Speaker 1: clever a manner, will not break under accusations. Seed, we
- 18:32Speaker 1: more likely tosue for slant one.
- 18:33Speaker 6: Nurser, you going to do harm.
- 18:35Speaker 1: You've sometimes told me that I have queer friends in London, Watson,
- 18:40Speaker 1: I have a plan which depends upon one of them.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I shall go to London to night. Meanwhile, I want
- 18:45Speaker 1: you to make discreet inquiries from Lord Hollis's bankers and
- 18:48Speaker 1: his lawyer and see what evidence you can obtain as
- 18:51Speaker 1: to his financial affairs. I feel that we may find
- 18:54Speaker 1: a large part of the motive there.
- 18:55Speaker 7: You are harmed.
- 18:56Speaker 2: When will you return?
- 18:57Speaker 1: If all goes well, I'll be back to morrow night.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I want you to call on Lady Diana and engage
- 19:02Speaker 1: her in miss cartwriting conversation at precisely nine o'clock tomorrow evening.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Don't say me, Watson't it is vital that you carry
- 19:09Speaker 1: all your part.
- 19:20Speaker 7: I appreciate your kindness in visiting me, doctor Watson. I've
- 19:25Speaker 7: been under the impression that you and mister Holmes left
- 19:28Speaker 7: yesterday for long.
- 19:29Speaker 3: Well no, no, we decided to remain in Brighten for
- 19:31Speaker 3: a few more days.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Some tea. No, thank you?
- 19:36Speaker 7: And where is mister Holmes.
- 19:39Speaker 5: I hope to have the opportunity of thanking him in person.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Oh no't quite know where he is at the moment.
- 19:47Speaker 1: It's difficult for to keep.
- 19:49Speaker 4: Cack of you know.
- 19:50Speaker 7: Wasn't the front door bell Carter? Yes, I go. The
- 19:54Speaker 7: servants are retired.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Can I offer you some other researchment after watter?
- 20:00Speaker 2: That should like some brandy?
- 20:02Speaker 1: Oh?
- 20:02Speaker 4: No, no, thank you.
- 20:03Speaker 1: I never touches Lady Diana. Ah, what's the good evening?
- 20:07Speaker 7: Mister Holmes is just telling doctor Watson that I hope
- 20:10Speaker 7: you give me the opportunity.
- 20:11Speaker 1: I'm afraid you're under a misapprehension, Lady Diana. I am
- 20:15Speaker 1: not calling upon you in a social capacity.
- 20:18Speaker 2: I'm afraid that I don't understand.
- 20:20Speaker 7: Really, mister Holmes, your behavior is rather odd, to say
- 20:23Speaker 7: the least.
- 20:23Speaker 1: I found your note at the hotel Watson, where you've
- 20:25Speaker 1: bless them for me. They complete the picture very publy.
- 20:29Speaker 7: Unless you can give some other explanation of your conduct,
- 20:32Speaker 7: mister Holmes, I must.
- 20:34Speaker 4: Ask you to leave it once.
- 20:35Speaker 1: I am about to offer you an explanation, Lady Diana,
- 20:38Speaker 1: although it is one you will not like. I am
- 20:41Speaker 1: accusing you with Miss Cartwright's successory of the murder of
- 20:44Speaker 1: your late husband.
- 20:46Speaker 7: How Daniels, I can only suppose that your trade of
- 20:49Speaker 7: chasing criminals has turned your brain.
- 20:52Speaker 1: I could kill you for slander, but I won't.
- 20:54Speaker 4: Won't signify your insane accusation by doing.
- 20:56Speaker 6: Do you see, Watson?
- 20:57Speaker 1: Just as I expected, Lady I, Doctor Watson's investigations have
- 21:02Speaker 1: revealed some interesting sects. Your late husband was an extremely
- 21:05Speaker 1: welcome man, and you are his soul legate. You yourself
- 21:09Speaker 1: were penniless when you married Lord Hollis, a man twenty
- 21:12Speaker 1: five years older than you. Yesterday morning he had a
- 21:16Speaker 1: bath while drunk, and you entered his bathroom and drowned him.
- 21:19Speaker 1: You will, miss Cartwright, put the body on the boat.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Do procated your husband's footprints and stage the accident which
- 21:24Speaker 1: Watson and I witnessed.
- 21:25Speaker 7: Change my mind as tones, I shall you your suslander
- 21:28Speaker 7: for every tense that I can have pay, said my dear,
- 21:31Speaker 7: this man should be made to pay for his viol actualsation.
- 21:34Speaker 2: Now you better assume me.
- 21:35Speaker 3: At the same time, Lady Diana, I associate myself with
- 21:38Speaker 3: everything at Holmes and said.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Thank you Watson. But before you start, suit said Diana.
- 21:43Speaker 1: I want you to show me the late Lord Hollis's bathroom.
- 21:46Speaker 7: Come to it, Lady Diana, I will awaken the fathers
- 21:49Speaker 7: and have these men pull up. I shall do it,
- 21:51Speaker 7: carthif only to prove to this fool how baseless the
- 21:54Speaker 7: suspicions are. Come with me this way death, No, let
- 22:06Speaker 7: me go ahead the lamp.
- 22:11Speaker 4: There is the door of my husband's van. Hopefully look
- 22:14Speaker 4: for yourself.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Oh the watch.
- 22:18Speaker 4: That told you we come back, Well, you told me
- 22:28Speaker 4: nothing could happened. I said it was so sis comes back,
- 22:31Speaker 4: just comes back. Let's everything outside.
- 22:45Speaker 1: Baker Streets will look extremely inviting. Watson after the person.
- 22:49Speaker 3: From alarm at the last night, certainly a world, but
- 22:52Speaker 3: the only excitement after the woman dropped the lamp from
- 22:54Speaker 3: the fleet inspector taking down Leona Diana's confession.
- 22:57Speaker 4: I still haven't found out. How are you manage the
- 23:01Speaker 4: return of the late Lord Hollis?
- 23:03Speaker 1: You mean it was really quite simple. One of my
- 23:07Speaker 1: many friends in London is one of the artists who
- 23:09Speaker 1: makes all those clever waxwort figures for Madame Two Souls
- 23:12Speaker 1: muse here. He made me a most lifelike and convincing
- 23:16Speaker 1: report of the late Lord Hollis, working from a photograph
- 23:19Speaker 1: furnished by the local portraits Udo Right Scotton.
- 23:21Speaker 3: While I held those two women in conversation in the
- 23:24Speaker 3: drawing room, you entered the house.
- 23:26Speaker 4: And smuggle the figure into the blassroom.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Precisely, my dear Paron, as I told you, only a
- 23:31Speaker 1: very sudden and intense shock would ever scare the confession
- 23:35Speaker 1: out of that extremelysshealth posessed murders Lady Diana and her
- 23:38Speaker 1: evil genius, Miss contrast Stark.
- 23:41Speaker 3: I don't mind telling your homes is if I've been
- 23:44Speaker 3: carrying that.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Lampard had dropped myself when I saw that figure
- 23:48Speaker 3: Ten years off my life
