This episode from the Life of Sherlock Holmes will be
transmitted to our men and women overseas by shortwave
through the worldwide facility to the Armed Forces Radio Service.
Petri Watton brings you
to
Basil Wattbone and Nigel Bruce in the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
The Petri family, the family that took time to bring you good wine,
invites you to listen to Dr. Watton tell us another exciting adventure he shared
with his good friend, that master detective Sherlock Holmes.
And if you ask me the best way to listen to that story,
is to do it with a glass of port wine right handy.
Petri California port.
No kidding, that Petri port is just swell for any time good friends get together to talk things over.
You couldn't ask for a more delicious wine,
why just looking at the deep, rich red color of that Petri port tells you that
here's a wine with a flavor that comes right from the heart of sun-ripen grapes.
If you haven't ever tried Petri Port,
why not get a bottle and have a glass after dinner tomorrow night?
It's a perfect after dinner wine, you know?
And share that port with your family and your friends.
Don't forget, when you serve Petri Port, you can serve it probably.
Because after all, the nothing Petri is the proudest name and the history of American wines.
And now let's keep our weekly appointment.
Good evening Dr. Watton.
Good evening Mr. Watton.
Good evening Dr. Watton.
Thank you.
That's it.
By the way, do you know what date it is?
November 5th, isn't it?
That's right.
In England it's known as Guy Foxstay.
Do you ever hear it?
There's something to do with a gunpowder plate, isn't it?
Yes, Mr. Bartel, it is.
And as Sherlock Holmes and I had a very unusual venture on the 5th of November many years ago,
it seems appropriate that I should tell you about it tonight.
Before I begin, I think it might help you to appreciate the true flavor of the story.
If I tell you a little about the origin and the customs of Guy Foxstay.
It's a swell idea, Dr. Watton.
Well, my boy.
On November 5th, 1605, exactly 340 years ago today,
King James I was about to attend the opening of a parliament.
When a plot was discovered,
they blew up the House of Lords during the ceremony.
And the chief conspirator was Guy Fox, I suppose?
Yes, he was.
He was captured in a vault and immediately below the House of Lords,
a vault full of barrels of gunpowder.
Of course, he and his fellow conspirators were executed.
And ever since then,
November 5th has been known as Guy Foxstay.
Well, how's it celebrated, darling?
Well, it's a great time for the youngsters, Mr. Bartel.
They black their faces,
throwing the streets,
digging for pennies,
and built bonfires in which to burn effigies of Guy Fox.
These effigies,
a life-sized dummies,
stuffed with straw and dressed in old clothes.
The children parade them in the streets,
chanting rhymes.
Well, let me see.
Please, to remember the 5th of November,
Guy Fox Guy, hit him in the eye.
The kids must have quite a time.
Sort of like Halloween, huh?
Yes, not unlike it, my boy.
Well, now that I've told you something about the customs of Guy Foxstay,
I'll get on with my story.
If again, just before lunch, I'll remember on November 5th, 1899.
The day was foggy and cold, and homes and I
seated each side of a blazing fire in our Baker Street rooms.
From outside, we could hear the sound of voices,
laughing and singing.
Suddenly, homes rose and crossed to the window,
opened it and looked out.
Then he turned to me and spoke.
Sort of having a great time, wasn't it?
Yes, of course, we're sitting worth of pennies to walk here this morning.
Has it occurred to you that the gunpowder plus of a very promising material
is a speculative mind in what way homes?
I say it's completely chilly in here.
Don't you think you might shut that window?
Sorry, old chap.
As I was saying, the gunpowder plus of a very promising material to the speculative mind,
I made something of a study of the historical records of the case.
There's more than a little evidence to suggest that King James was never in any real danger.
Never in any danger of what makes you say that.
Knowledge of the proposed afterlife scheme came to light early.
The James Stuart King of England, the possessor of a shrewd and diabolical mind,
used the spectacular discovery of the plot to plan,
bolster, his weight popularity in,
as well as to justify increased religious persecution.
First word of it all.
My dear sailor, Philip, it's true, just the same.
I'm afraid James Stuart King of England was an unscrupulous tyrant.
Come in.
Oh, yes, Mrs. Hudson?
There was a gentleman to see you, Mr. Holmes.
He said it was very important.
He asked me to give you his car.
Oh, thank you, Mrs. Hudson.
Ask him to come up, please, William.
Hi, sir.
Who is it, home?
A gentleman with a remarkably fine sense of timing.
We discard yourself.
Oh, look.
Mr. James Stuart.
Great scottet.
It's an extraordinary coincidence that he should arrive.
Just as we're talking about James Stuart King of England.
Come in.
Mr. James Stuart.
How do you do, Mr. Stuart?
My name is Sherlock Holmes, and this is my colleague, Dr. Watt.
How do you do, sir?
How do you do?
Mr. Holmes, you've got to help me.
I'm working a button, what will feel of my life?
You've got to help me, Mr. Stuart.
I suggest that you sit down.
I'll do anything in my part to help you,
but you must compose yourself first and tell me
quite what it is that's frightening you.
How can I compose myself when I may be dead?
Well, then, if you are.
No, no, no, no, Mr. Stuart.
I'm a doctor.
I really think if I were to give you a sedative,
that you'd find...
How can you talk of sedatives when I...
What?
Doctor...
All right, all right.
Now, here, let me help you.
This is so fun.
Hey, why not?
I did it back with him all the time.
Yes, Holmes.
I'll give him some digitalists.
The fellow with a bad heart like this shouldn't allow himself
to get so excited.
Hey, Holmes, do you want me to drink this?
No.
That's it.
And now, this, Mr. Stuart.
What is it?
Did you tell us?
Very well.
Yeah, no.
You'll better sign?
Yes, Mr. Holmes.
Yes, I do.
Hey, you're right.
I shouldn't get so excited.
My heart can't stand it, you know.
Watson, is he well enough to talk to you?
Yes, he doesn't excite himself again.
I'll be careful, Doctor.
I'll take it quietly.
Mr. Holmes,
when you saw my card, just know that strike any response of court...
Naturally, sir, who could fail to be intrigued
when a James Stuart calls to see one on Guy Fox Day?
It isn't just coincidence that my name is James Stuart's.
I've got royal blood in my veins.
People know of it.
And that's another reason they're out to kill me.
They're jealous of my heritage.
Every instinct I have is a royal one.
No, you gentlemen know that falconry is a key sport.
And the greatest hobby is the breathing
and the cleaning of files to us, please, Mr. Stuart.
Going to the state of your health, I suggest that you
be as economical as possible in your explanation.
In fact, I think it might be better if I bid to question you.
Very well, Mr. Holmes.
Now, you say that your life is in danger.
What evidence do you have to substantiate that claim?
My cousin, Guy, of falconry has threatened it.
Now, you see, Mr. Holmes,
he and I are the only ads to a wealthy uncle.
His fortune will go to the surviving air.
If I were dead, Guy wouldn't have had everything.
Since Mr. Stuart said you should have applied to Scotland,
he asked for protection.
I did, Dr. Watson.
Only a few days ago, I saw a certain inspector strad,
I think his name was, and he laughed at my fear.
Oh, Scotty.
And he laughed, did he?
Well, then in that case, there may be something in your story, sir.
You say that your cousin has threatened to kill you.
Has he indicated the method he intends to employ?
He has.
And it's a devilish plot.
Guy has a bit of twisted sense of humor, gentlemen,
even when he is planning his destiny, a thing as a murder.
I am James Stuart.
He is Guy Falkenby, which is near enough to Guy Falks.
Today is the 5th of November, and he's planning to blow me up.
Come, come, come, come, sir.
You can't expect this to be there, but it's true.
He warned me in the celebration that going on in the streets of London today
would make a rare club for his activity.
I must confess, Mr. Stuart, that I find your story most convincing.
All your evidence appears to tend on conversations held between you and this cousin of yours.
You have no facts, sir.
Do substantiate your claims.
But I have.
Then please let us hear them.
I'll live at 23 Cavandy Square.
A week ago, the host next door to me was led to a new tenant.
Almost immediately, what one became very active there.
They were digging in the cellars, Mr. Holmes.
I could hear the sounds of picks and shovels through the walls.
Digging in the cellars.
That does sound significant, doesn't it, Holmes?
Excuse me.
Did you observe any other activities of the workman, Mr. Stuart?
I, Mr. Holmes,
vans have been delivering large packing cases to the basement during the last two days.
I know what's in them, too.
It's gunpowder.
I tell you they're planning to blow me up today.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr.
you must n' excite us over again.
What shall I do, Mr. Holmes?
I think, sir, I put the bed of you to rest here for a while and then go to a nearby hotel.
I'd suggest the, uh, the shop-spring.
And wait there until you hear from us.
And where are you, gentlemen, going?
What's in an eye after Donning's shootin' this guy's is?
Well, visit the house to join yours in Cavandy Square.
I think an examination of a cell up there might prove much illuminating.
Oh, this must be the house, all right, Holmes?
The empty packing cases are still by the foot of the basement steps.
Oh, my son, let's go down and explore.
Oh, my son, I feel a little self-conscious of these clothes.
No need to, my dear chap.
We look at most authentic inspector of plumbing.
If anyone challenges us, you'd better let me do the talking, though.
I think my accent might be a little more convincing.
Listen.
I can't hear anything.
Exactly.
Then we may reasonably assume to either the workman
or observing the guy forks holiday or that their work is done.
Come on, let's find this door.
Son, what?
Yes.
This is too easy, Watson.
We must be prepared for a fact.
Come on.
I've got none of all the handy if there's any trouble.
Don't use it until I tell you to.
Remember, we're supposed to be plumbing inspectors.
It's black in here.
I can't see a thing.
It's like a match.
See if you can find a gas jet.
It's like a match from the cellar maybe for the dumb puddle.
Don't take the risco, chap.
Here's a gas jet, I like it.
That's better.
Now we can see a little.
I think the workman have completed their job.
See that new wood forming a crude door in the corner over there?
Where does it lead to, Dispersion?
That's my doubt.
Also unlocked.
Here's a miner's ventan waiting conveniently for us on this ledge.
Oh, this is ridiculously easy.
Now I'm sure it's a trap.
I like the ventan.
Chris, it's a tunnel.
Yes, it's a tunnel leading into Mr. Stewart's house next door.
Let's explore it.
Look how much.
Look at the barrels.
I left a full gunpowder.
Undoubtedly.
We'll observe the fuses as well.
Yes, the complete equipment for another gunpowder plot.
I can't believe my eyes were a fantastic plan.
How could the murderer be certain that Stewart would be killed in the explosion?
I think that's usually answered well too.
Remember Mr. Stewart's bad heart?
In his present state of apprehension, an exploding firecracker would be an ought to kill him.
Oh, Mr. Stewart.
Hello?
Hello, what's this, lying on the floor?
Curious?
The funnest strip of silk is a little ring on the end.
Let me say it, Watson.
Uh-huh.
This seems to be familiar.
White chauve.
I believe it to Jess.
Jess?
Well, no, sir.
The last piece of evidence necessary to confirm the conclusion.
I'm out of that.
I think the hands are on the head.
I've got a revolver.
White chauve, Governor.
The only day in no arm.
I remember, Watson.
I'll do the talking.
Come on.
I'll come.
Well, you're a comical looking pair.
What are you doing in there?
At me and my mate got a message to come over here.
I'm seated at the plumbing, Mr. Plummer's there.
Do you have any identification?
Yes, sir.
Here's me, bed.
We're inspectors for the London County Council.
Oh, that's all right, my man.
I saw the basement door open, and I thought burgers might be here.
You're the owner of this house, sir.
Yes?
But my agent, let it be.
St. Vittas and Texans have been behaving rather clearly until.
So I came around here to see what was happening.
If you're the owner, sir, perhaps you can give me some facts for me records.
Not for me records, you know.
What do you want to know?
Well, you're nine, please, sir.
Paul can be.
Guy, Paul can be.
Look here.
Alfie, Alfie, Alfie, Alfie, Alfie, Alfie, Alfie knows.
What did he say?
Nothing, sir. Nothing.
He's got bad hiccups, that fur.
Well, bad him for months.
Now, I can't stop him.
Alfie, here, give me a pencil, will you?
Thank you, Alfie.
Now, sir, your name is Guy Falkenby.
What's the name of the tenant?
This ex is lit, too.
Well, three of them.
Now, you know the name, sir.
Got to have them for me records, you see.
Yes, the name's a winter.
Rookwood and King.
That's all right.
Oh, yes, back.
Winter.
Rookwood and Cains.
That's right, sir.
Ha, ha, ha.
Cains is if they might be a firm of solicitors,
doubt they say.
Well, perhaps they are.
I haven't met them.
I guess I'm all questions here.
And then I need to bother you no more.
Well, what is it, my religion?
My grandmother's maiden name?
Ha, no, sir.
No, nothing like that.
I just wonder, do we live in the ass next door in that side?
We've had a complaint from there.
Two of their pipes is bunged up.
My cousin lives there.
His name is James Stewart.
He's dead James Stewart, eh?
I might have blinded, sir.
Me and my mate OV are going next door.
Come on, Alfie.
I'm not surprised.
These pipes are bunged up, as you said,
graphically put it.
He's a great one for practical jokes about the houses.
Matter of fact, he's planning one of them tonight.
Oh, well, that's no concern of yours.
By the way, my man, what's your name?
Nivita.
Tom Nivita.
Come on, Alfie.
We got work to do.
Oh, no.
Holmes, I wish you tell me what's going on.
Why have we taken this cap back to Baker Street?
Get out of these pores and insert their purpose.
Now there's more serious work to put.
Well, I'm still confused about our interview
with Gaupalchembe.
Why did you say your name was Tom Nivita?
What such a vanity of the Lord.
Vanity?
How do you mean?
Well, consider the names in this case so far, Watson.
James Stewart says that he's been threatened by Guy Falkenbein.
And the name is Mr. Stewart points out, not unlike Guy Falks.
You recall the names of the three tenants
that Mr. Falkenbeid gave us a few minutes ago?
Yeah.
Winter, Rookwood, and Cain.
Look, what's that gonna do with it?
A great deal, my dear fellow.
Thomas Winter, Ambo's Rookwood and Robert Cain's
with a Freeman executed by Guy Falks
in the original Gunpowder Club in 1625.
Where does Tom Nivitt, the name of your self,
put into the fixture?
Thomas Nivitt was the Western's
to register who arrested the conspirators,
since there would be murderers such an academic knowledge
of the original thought I'd thought I'd let him know
that he was up against an opponent worthy of his skill.
We'll hear the rest of Dr. Watson's story
in just a few seconds.
Just about time for me to remind you
that if you want a wine that's sure to please the ladies,
you can't mix with Petri, California, Muscatel.
That's because Petri Muscatel is a golden wine
with one of the most luscious flavors you ever tasted.
Did you ever taste a big plump muscat grape
that's ripened in the sun?
If you have, then you know what to expect
when you taste Petri Muscatel.
It's a wonderful wine.
Perfect after dinner and swell when company comes.
Just remember that, won't you?
Petri Muscatel.

Well, Doctor, you and Mr. Holmes were certainly
having yourselves quite a guy for Thursday.
What happened when you got back to Baker Street?
We picked a change out of our disguises
and back into our own little clothes.
I was still pretty much in the dark, as usual.
And I kept questioning Holmes as to our next move,
even in the state of suppressed excitement.
And it was obvious that he spoke to me
and he was anxious to be off.
What's more, Doctor?
There's so much work ahead of us.
I'm going to go.
I'm not dawdling.
I'm just here first.
I can.
What's our next move?
Going to split our forces.
Just get a hold of my band of speech
engines, the Baker Street Arigulars.
I'm going to surround Mr. Stewart's house
in Cavendish Square.
And they'll be invaluable for their purpose.
So what do you want me to do?
Go to the Pouchfield Hotel and collect Mr. Stewart.
Then return with him to his house and wake me there.
I shall join you as soon as I've rounded up the Arigulars,
but I must warn you.
Don't leave Mr. Stewart for a moment.
Don't tell him I'll be a sight until you see me again.
Of course I won't harm him, but to...
I must say, I dare all that gunpowder on the cell.
That doesn't make me feel anything too happy.
Me, all chat has paid in me.
And I wouldn't expose you to any danger
if I could avoid it.
And I assure you that I shall join you
in a Mr. Stewart that is shortly.
You have your revolver?
Yes, of course.
Good.
And...
Give Mr. Stewart this revolver, will you?
Tell him that I insist that he carries it.
I fear that his own has probably been tempered with.
Right, you are, Holmes.
I'll see you here, then.
This is a strange business, I must say.
That guy, for goodness' him,
such a decent sort of fellow.
Yes, he appeared to be a most amiable fellow, didn't he?
This is indeed an unusual case, Watson.
We're off against one of the most sinister
and twisted antagonists, but we love a myth.
Well, what's up? I'm leaving now.
I'll join the film and don't forget.
Stay close to Mr. Stewart.
Stay very close to him.
Dr. Watson, I wish your friend were here.
No, no, don't get so excited, Mr. Stewart.
You'll be here any moment now.
You've still got the revolver that I gave you?
Yes, it's in my pocket.
But what's the good of a revolver if there should be an explosion?
Answer me, darling, if you can.
No, no, you must have faith in Mr. Holmes, sir.
He's arranging now to have this house of yours surrounded.
I've banned the street urchins.
They'll see that no one gets to the cell in the car.
I'm not going to let you go.
I'm not going to let you go.
I'm not going to let you go.
I'm not going to let you go.
I'm not going to let you go.
You've seen the street urchins.
They'll see that no one gets the cell in the car to light the fuse.
These are Bunch-Soft Children.
How can they do anything?
You don't know the biggest street irregular is Mr. Stewart.
And it's a perfect day for them to operate.
Does black-faced boy begging forkaise?
They'd pass unnoticed anywhere.
I hope you're right, but I have a 3moniton, dr.
There's going to be a tragedy.
I know, and I'll take it easy, sir.
Secondly, we are hot.
We are inhointed hands when Sherlock Holmes is on the case.
Here he is now. Holmes, I say. I'm glad to see you.
You received your visit yet? Visitor.
We've seen no one.
And beyond the alert.
I've just been questioning the boys running this house.
Few moments ago, some children pulled a small cart up to the back door.
A cart containing a life-sized dummy.
My irregular's thought that it was an effigy on its way to a bonfire.
Well, I shouldn't have been home.
Now, reasonably, but it's someone visiting you in disguise, Mr. Stewart.
A visitor who is mounting the backstairs at this very moment.
You've got the ten by me, Holmes. You've got to take me.
I'm glad I saw it.
Come in.
Look at that apparition.
Cut the guy forks gun.
A doctor in his hand and it's walking.
And also talking, I trust.
Keep away from me.
I got a revolver.
It's a place for victorious faith.
If you want me one, I'll take two.
Not better for me and the worst for you.
It's guy forks and they keep away from me to here.
Better for me and the worst for you.
All right, then. I'm going to fire.
The other Mr. Stewart, the revolver I've provided for you, seems to be unmoted.
How very odd.
What in fun is all this about?
I've just witnessed and attempted murder.
What's in murder?
What are you talking about? This is a game.
James and I had to arrange the hell for you.
You may have thought it was a game, Mr. Polk and me, but I ask for you
that you are comfortable.
Grab Mr. Stewart, Watson, he's here.
Leave me alone. Take your friends off me.
My heart.
Help me put him on the server.
Er, it's him.
I'll get him some digitalist.
Look, I don't want to appear that I'm necessarily stupid.
But will someone tell me what this is all about?
If pleasure, Mr. Polk and me, you're a cousin
that planned one of the most fantastic murder plots that I've ever encountered.
He came for us with a story that you would trek to his life.
But that's ridiculous. I'm very fond of him.
Of course, it's ridiculous. The whole plot is ridiculous.
He leads the house next door.
Have a tunnel dug, and gunpowder and fuses planted there.
He can enter the name of the tunnel and says,
Winter, Rockwood and Cames, to get the apparent plot of further authenticity.
You mean my cousin who was the real tenant?
Certainly he was.
However, he was plenty enough to drop that piece of silk
with the wire ring on the end that you found in the cellar Watson.
I think you called it Jess.
And what's it Jess?
It's a strap that goes round a falcon's leg to which it's leash is passing.
You will remember that Mr. Stewart informed us that falcon ray is his hobby.
And it therefore indicated that he had been in the cellar
and consequently must have known about the whole plot.
And all he was trying to do was to build up in our minds
and believe that his cousin was trying to kill him.
Exactly, my dear fellow.
Had we believed him, of course, he could have dropped you just now.
Mr. Falkenby, in appearance, self-defense.
God, Lord, what a fantastic plot.
I still can't find him.
But he...
Why are you dressed as a guy forks dummy?
Well, it was James's idea.
He said that he was going to dress up too,
and that we were to go round the bonfire tonight and frighten people
by appearing as live dummies.
But the last message he sent told me to come up here
that we'd play a practical joke on a couple of friends of his.
And did he provide you with the costume that you're wearing?
Yes, as a matter of fact, he did.
Have you searched the pockets for any weapons?
No, but I will.
All right, while you're doing that, I'll examine this dark lantern.
How's your patient, Watson?
Well, I've given him some detail.
And now I'll get him some friends.
I can't find anything in the pockets.
Here's the answer, my friends.
Look here.
Inside the lantern is a jagger.
Your cousin planted it there to substantiate the claim
that you were trying to kill him.
Had his plans worked?
You would have been dead, Mr. Paul Kinbeid,
before you could have told us the truth.
Here, come back here, Mrs. Kilm.
James!
He's sick, how are you?
How are you?
He's taking the hogsack.
Come on, what's not true?
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Holmes, where are you?
Out of the way, please.
Tell me, tell me.
It comes to know me.
It comes to know me.
It comes to know me.
It comes to know me.
Excuse me, please.
I'm trying to find a friend of mine.
Mr. Paul, Holmes, where are you?
Get out of my car.
I hear you.
Come on.
Get out of my car.
Out of the way, please.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
You've got away from me in the car.
You've got away from us.
We'll never find him in this month.
That's what I'm saying.
There's no name what he may do.
Whether you're regulars.
Ah, there's Wiggins.
Wiggins.
Hello, Mr. Hill.
Jack Lockers.
Did you see a man run out of that house of humanists go?
No, Governor.
Grab Charlie's in.
Hey, Charlie, come over here, man.
It's Mr. Hill.
All right.
I said Charlie didn't see anything, though.
It's Jack's own selfie girl with you.
Hello, Mr. Holmes and Dr. Walker.
Hello, Charlie.
Did you see a man run through this car of humanists go?
Torish man with the brain of stars.
Yes, I did.
A man came running out of the house over there.
Steps the house.
Let's go.
He ran down toward where the shop saw.
He's sure I've done.
He did.
The one we are going to burn in the barnfire.
I tried to stop, but he got away.
Holmes, look up in the roof.
There's a figure.
Mr. Hill, I'm going to escape.
Shoot.
That's the man.
He's the one that stole our dummy.
He's standing up at the roof.
He's going to jump.
If he does, he's going to land in the barnfire.
There he goes.
He is jumping.
Ah!
Right into the middle of the car.
It's horrible.
It'll be terrible, Jack.
Don't worry, Wiggins.
That was not a man who fell into the barnfire.
What do you mean?
From the generations that the figure performed,
does it tell my dear Watson?
I'm convinced that Mr. Hill threw the stolen dummy.
He's trying to put us off the track.
Mr. Hill, still up there.
He is watching.
Come on, old boy.
It's up on the rooftops, Russ.
Up on the rooftops.
You're watching.
Let me help you, Hunter.
Can you reach my hand?
Yeah.
And I got it.
All right, then.
Up you come.
Come on.
That's it.
Shoot.
Seems to be the farest games must be designed for chance.
Keep your eyes skinned, old fellow.
It's to a dangerous man.
My behinding behind those genius decks.
Come on.
Put my soul.
This is a strange place to be on Guy Fox tonight.
Yes, a comprehensive case, Watson.
Starts in a cellar and ends on a rooftop.
Look, Holmes.
By the path of it there.
A crumpled body of Mr. Stewart.
Looks to me as if it...
Yes.
He's dead, Holmes.
Well, it's not surprising.
The effort of carrying dummy up here and throwing it
combined with his own state of excitement for too much for him.
Well, frankly, I can't say that I'm sorry.
No, he planned the murder.
It hadn't been for you, he would have succeeded.
An extraordinary case, Holmes.
Yes, old Chapman, one that should long make us remember the fifth of November.
But you, yes.
Please, to remember the fifth of November.
Gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason why Gunpowder treason should ever be forgotten.
Well, Doctor, as you boys would say,
that story was a bit of exciting, what?
Yes, and even now I sort of lose my breath
when I remember climbing that forest gate.
You know, Doctor, those two fellows certainly went out of their way
to celebrate Guy Fawkes' day.
Now, take me when I got a little celebrating to do on.
I like to do it quietly, son.
Friends, a glass of port.
Patrick Ford occurs.
What else?
Believe it to you.
No matter what your case is,
you can somehow make it the perfect occasion
to pet your wife.
How'd you do it, Holmes?
To ask me how I'd do it.
You mean how does the Petri family do it?
How can they make that swell wine?
Early answer is experience.
The Petri family has been making fine wine for generations.
And ever since they first established the Petri business way back in the 1800s,
they've handed on down from father to son, from father to son,
the fine art of turning luscious, sun-ripened California grapes
into fragrant, delicious wine.
That's why when you want a wine for any occasion,
before dinner with your meals are after dinner,
you can't go wrong with a Petri wine
because Petri took time to bring you good wine.
And now, Dr. Wassen, what's your like, Holmes Adventure?
You're going to tell us next week.
I know, Mr. Bartell,
the story that concerns strange music
that was heard in a lonely house in the English countryside.
And of the living deaf that stopped there,
I call it the adventure of the speckle bear.
Tonight, Sherlock Holmes Adventure is written by Dennis Greene and Atney Boucher,
and was suggested by an incident in this arctic Conan Doyle's story,
the adventure of the devil's foot.
Music was by Dean Fossler.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need.
