Pet Tree Wine brings you.

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The Petrie family, the family that took time to bring you good wine, invites you to listen to doctor Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, that master Detective Sherlock Holmes.

And I want to ask you something you know.

Every now and then, I've told you about the good old American custom of serving a glass of sherry before dinner, particularly Petrie California sherry.

And I wonder if you've tried that Petrie sherry.

Really, a glass of Petrie sherry is the best beginning a good meal ever had.

Petrie sherry is clear, fragrant, and truly delicious.

It's a wonderful wine whose flavor is the essence of luscious sun ripened grapes.

And Petrie makes two kinds of sherry wine, a regular sherry and Petree pale dry.

If you don't know which you prefer, try them both.

Don't buy one, buy two, but remember always buy Petrie because Petree wine is always good wine.

Well, I'm sure doctor Watson is ready for us.

Let's go in and join him, shall.

We evening, mister.

Qui dogs saying very pleased with themselves tonight did they have a good day's the three of us did?

My boy the patio, I took.

A seven iron and some old golf poles on the beach this afternoon and proved my game.

I'm thinking the dogs had a great time chasing the golf poles.

On the way home, the little rascals had a furious battle with an elderly Pelican, so the day was complete.

I'll have to join you on one of your afternoons, Trollers, Doctor and the dog seem to have so much fun for we got your comfort, mister Bartell.

Well drap your usual churn.

I'll get on with tonight Sherlock.

Holmes Adventure from the Hens who gave us last week.

I guess the Frenchman played a prominent part in the story.

Yes, indeed he did, mister Bartell.

His name was France fir Leavilla.

He was a detective of some notes in his own country the time my story begins, it was in eighteen hundred and eighty.

Nine, to meet zech Navilla come.

Over to London to discuss with Holmes the difficulties of translating some of his monographs into the French language.

At this particular time, I was in the early days of my marriage, mister Bartell.

Of this fact, combined with the busy factice, meant that I saw very little of my old friend.

He must have missed you, Daker, you do well.

Of course he'd admit the fact.

But Herbert didn't get home with my story.

One troubtless June afternoon, I found myself in the neighborhood of Baker Street, and I couldn't persist paying a visit to Holmes.

Missus Hudson was out, but having retained my old letchke, I let myself in and mounted the familiar stairs.

It gave me a strange feeling as I raised my hand to knock on what once had been my own living room door.

An aaren, Hello, Oh, I beg your pardon.

I know you.

How very nice.

It's great to see you at homes.

I'm sorry I interrupted you.

I didn't know that you had.

Company now at all.

My dear fellow were delighted.

Aunt.

This is a how you do chantchier.

I wouldn't wish to meet the so charming doctor Watson.

Holmes has told me a great deal about you.

That suit she Watson expended old gained a little weight, haven't.

You, Oh, there's a few pounds away.

Don't you You sure that I'm not interrupting you in some important discussion?

No, no, no, shut up.

There we were having a good natured argument on the relative abilities of the French criminal compared to the English your support.

Parts, Levi, I is convinced that the English criminal is a very dull dog.

Indeed, well, we've met far from dull ones that time.

I assure you, Monsieur Levia, Ah, the exceptions rather than the whole life here moshell lit and aunt Olivia.

I believe me, dear friend, that I will yield to no one in my admiration of your knowledge and skill.

That is why I wish I could persuade you to practice in Paris.

Ah, there you would find opponents really worthy of your Still, what can happen to interest you in this land of grave frogs, boiled potatoes and pots of tea?

You're you're not the flat number of insula I offense, my friend?

Will you say the English criminal is dull?

Perhaps if you were to read a published story of man called a Study in scarlet, you think differently.

It tells a very exciting adventure.

That Holmes and I head.

I have read it, my friend.

An extremely gripping story.

But surely you will admit that the was essentially of a Melton.

Ah, he's right, but he's perfect, a right, Jomy.

What can I do to vindicate the dishonor of the London criminal?

Let me see?

Oh, yes, yes, of course, a copy of Today's Times.

That's fine.

I shall introduce you to a section known as the agony column.

Now, oh, yes, here we are.

This should convince you of the color and variety of English life.

The agony column Mechan's most painful.

What is it for.

A personal columns?

Lable to contain anything from a lover's frantic appeal to his lady.

Love to a ransom note.

In my profession, I've frequently found it an invaluable medium for contacting the underworld.

Yes, now here we are, Yes, nothing, Jemmy, Oh dear, No, today's column seems rather uninspired.

I'm afraid may I examine it?

Of course, if the lady who helped my little boy across the road at the corner of Threadwell Street and Hyauburn last Wednesday at four, or we'll get in touch with Box eight four five.

She will learn of something to her advantage that we can be more colorful than that.

Emparies my friendness.

I think we can do better than that too.

Yeah, printer must have been half asleep, but he set up the type for this adverllisement.

Will any gentlemen interested in discussing cryptography and cipher writing please communicate with box x ql six nine six.

The time Why I failed to find this message anymore stelling than before?

She didn't want to notice the execrable printing.

Dunchem did I do?

It is all mixed up the first world will It starts with the capital W and the capital I the second world, and he starts with a small A and then has a capital N and y.

It is a shocking example of typogun.

And when it a.

Curtain of paper noted for its excellence in typesetting, man realizes that this is no mistake.

This is underbeed their code message.

Hawk Now, my friend, I defy even you to make a mystery out of the printer's negative Accept.

Your challenge, my deal of beyond if you recall the Baconian bilateral cipher depends upon the use of two sizes of type.

If we group the letters in units of five, the arrangements of small and capital letters within the groups should give us the message.

Now, let's see two capitals followed by three small gives us the letter H, and then two capitals one small, two more that gives us EH.

I still think you're trying to make an adventure out of a mere printing aims.

No mere printing accident could sell readily fall into one of the great traditional ciphers.

Now let's see this message read E help help Q two small QUI culta help, cultera l L two small and large elms help culta elms thirty is yes, pent help cultera elms pence help quiltera elms pend.

What does that mean?

Presumably a man named Quilta who lives at a house called the Elms in the village of Penge.

Needs help ah.

I see it now, a helpless victim help prisoner is more deserved this message as a as a harmless person, and restriction instructions that it be printed on this out form.

He knows that the amateurs of cryptography to whom it is addressed will decipher this cultural help hewell.

Monsieur Villa, you seem ready to grant the adventure can exist in London.

After all, the advantage, my dear Watson, of a more mercurial temperament than the Englishman possessed well and beyond what about it?

So we set off for Pens and rescue the junior ingenious mister Quilter from what about dire fate awaits him in the elms.

I am all in patience, s spend it, Watson.

I suppose you are too busy to join us.

Too busy well, I mean your practice.

I'm sure that you have patience will.

Matter of fact, I have two further visits to make today, one to a pepri old miser who has gout, another to a wealthy society woman who has a due to attack of hat Hope Condria they call it, but the places from.

The home both from I'm coming with your holmes if you want me, Barbro.

Wasn't then grab your hat and coat.

The game's a foot here you are, gents, the helms Pin.

Nice afternoon for a drive, wasn't it?

Fraid it'll cost you fifteen bod though there's a humbring for you.

You can keep the change me.

Thanks again now.

Top of the evening to your gents.

So this is the Elms.

Eh quite a bit of land for such a.

Modest neighborhood to call it the Elms seem remarkably new group.

I cannot see an edm tree inside.

So you see, Livia the English have for imagination.

And you credit card?

Are you just going to walk up to the front door and knock?

Why not?

The direct approach is often the most satisfactory.

Oh, you disappoint me.

I had hoped that perhaps you would adopt one of the disguises in which you have so adapt I am told, well, since it's unlikely with these people know me by sight, that's hardly necessary.

Is however, I trust that this little problem may reward you with some colorful highlights before with row.

No, it's got volver shots.

They came from the house.

Have you have too late?

Mister?

Couldn't guys be murdered?

Oh?

I think not.

You will observe that the next door neighbor to the Elms was mowing his front lawn as we drove up.

He is still engaged in the same occupation.

Obviously, revolver shots attract little attention this way since.

The mon dieu.

You mean that violence in sudden death are not common, that they do not attractive at passing interns.

No Ah, even the British are not as phlegmatic as that.

Then what is the answer to those shots?

Some member of this household is addicted to pistol practice.

The fact that a shooting target is nailed to the back of that fence over there would further suppor the theory.

That's rather ominous in my opinion.

Well, hit me out the front door.

Let's keep our wits about us anyway.

Are you killing it one of the Doctor Watson know this stethoscope.

I'm afraid I was prepared for sickness when I left the house today and not for crime.

I tour my nams.

How about you miss only a magnifying glass, I'm afraid, hardly a very lethal weapon.

Yeah, my friends and I were calling on this quitter.

Oh who are you?

My name is Sheelack Holmes, and these are my friends, doctor Watson and Monsieur Levier.

Expect I don't know.

We have read his advertisement in the Agony column of the Times today and came down here at once.

Are you a relation of his.

I'm his niece.

My name is Donas Stavisham, coming, don't.

You, miss Faversham?

I suppose to, yes, doctor, Miss stavish Oh, we had three revolver shots as we were walking up the driveway.

They he paved us quite a start, mademoiselle.

We were afraid that we might have arrived at the time of tragedy.

Indeed tragedy.

My hobby is with bother shooting.

I was doing some target practice in the back garden.

You arrive shooting.

Very interesting.

I have found of myself that I'm something of a marksman myself.

Oh really, perhaps we can have a match, won't.

You sit down your challenge and treats me in establishing?

But before I accepted, I should like to see mister Quitter well.

Uncle George is paralyzed, you know, spend you any time in a quil chair.

I'm not at all sure he'll see you.

Well.

At least you can ask him, can't you, Fabio.

It is customer at this time of the day to take a little nap.

Perhaps tomorrow he's still awake.

Some men have come to see you, Uncle, salom me, gentlemen.

Uncle, this is mister Shella Combs, doctor Watson and monsieur miss.

Leia, Missy Sherlock Holmes.

Day took you long enough to decipher my message and get here, didn't it?

Your brothers are much faster workers.

Me.

What makes you say that, mister Cutter received this telegram prior at eleven o'clock this morning?

Really for yourself?

Well, suggest you can sult my brother Sherlock and it's it's signed Microft Homes.

Yes, mister Croton, my brother is a much faster worker.

Or shall we say that he suffers from the unfortunate habit of early rising.

He undoubtedly read the Agony column three hours before I did today.

I don't know about that, but I've been expecting you all day.

I imagine you know why I inserted that advertisement.

Well, I had the.

Impression that you were under some form of restraint, that if you were in need of a rescue party, As it.

Were, rubbish, My advertisement was a piece of subtle bait.

The only person that could decided the message would obviously be someone who knew the Baconian cipher.

That a logical deductions to Pulta.

You see, I'm convinced that any sensible man should be that the so called Shakespearean plays were written by Sir Francis Bacon, but I felt that he needed a clever man to prove the fact.

I'm sure that anyone who was able to decipher my message was the man I needed.

And what did you take, mister Holmes to do the job?

I'm a rich man.

Name your feet.

You need to say that you inveigled mister Holmes down here just to do some research on the origin of Shakespeare's work.

You needn't look so shocked, Docter Botton.

My uncle is gofered to being a handsome thing.

Well, what do your name?

Is an interesting subject for research.

I can side that ignacious Donnelly and others have proved almost gone out that William Shakespeare are strata and Aidan did not write the place.

But I greatly doubt that Lord Bacon did.

I made a vote my leisure in later years to some investigation on the subject.

But in the Meanwhilenessir, and I'm afraid I'm much too busy to want to take such an assignment.

Clease it up, show the gentlemen out.

Darlis right.

Too bad you had this long guy down here for nothing, Jeral.

I quite agree on him.

It would seemed to me that your uncle has a distinct talent for political joking, mademoiselle.

Uncle uncle never made a joke in his life.

Mister Holmes, now that you're here, perhaps you like to induls a little shooting map.

Thank you, Miss Faversham.

But done as I told your unclimb a busy man.

Good evening to you, goodbye, gentlemen, Bye.

Homes old follow you're you're losing your touch.

You'd never made a blunder like this if I've still been with you.

It is comforting for an aspiring detective like myself to know that the glatial occurrence is fallible.

Then am I to assume that I must continue the case alone?

Oh?

You mean continue the case there is?

There isn't one, so there's in no danger.

He's in desperate danger.

I'm only afraid I may be too late to say that what we have just spoken to the man?

Oh no, did neither of you notice the traces of fresh alone on the boots of that supposedly paralyzed man.

Gentlemen, I fear the agony column has led us to murder.

You'll hear the rest of doctor Watson's story in just a second time enough for me to mention that any meal is a better meal when it's served with a Petrie dinner wine.

If you're having chicken or fish, use Petri California So Turned.

Petri So Turn is a subtle, delicately flavored white wine that looks and tastes like captured sunshine.

If you're having a roast or chops, or any kind of meat or meat dish, then, by all means, sir, Petrie California Burgundy.

Petri Burgundy is a hearty, full flavored red wine, one of the most delicious red wines.

You ever poured from a bottle.

When I get a bottle of each Petri Burgundy and Petri So Turned, then no matter what you have for dinner, you'll surely have the right wine, a Petri Wine.

Well, doctor, why did you have to break off your story there?

Well, I had to break it off some worms to Bartolo.

That seemed to be the most exciting spot.

It certainly was.

I was convinced that the Great Show I Coms had been fooled for once.

What happened next, well, but I need this to remark.

We did not get into a cab and go back to London.

But me pick up the story at the same place that I broke it off.

As Holmes said, gentlemen, I felt the agony column has led us to murder.

Murder.

There was fresh earth on the soldier of his boots, you say, distinct traces proving that the man in the wheelchair was not paralyzed.

That man, whoever he is, was impersonating Quilt to put us off the track, and their ill quilt only have been killed.

I'm afraid, so let's stop here.

Fra Amoma wait while we make our plans.

Miss Edge will hide us from the house in case they're watching from the windows.

Now, this isn't a hard picture to reconstruct.

It undoubtedly is or was a paralyzed Baconian scholar named Qultter.

He managed to smuggle out that ingenious tea for help, but Microft's unfortunate telegram gave the game away.

Mm hmmm, I see it now, And the people in there holding prisoner forced him to reveal what he has done.

What they may have done to him.

Heaven alone knows.

One of the criminals, guessing from the telegram that I might appear on the case posed as the crippled culta.

What's our next move?

But that's singularly unattracted young ladies killed Above.

We misseearch the grounds as unobtrusively as we can.

That's the girls.

For what I can answer this question?

Shout up.

We searched for signs of the freshly s termed earth of a grave.

Well we didn't find any traces in the poor devil's corpse, Thank Heaven.

No a great disappointment.

Cheering you are very blood burst into the beyond.

Hello, May we all thoughtout trimming the hedge over there?

The gardener to a chapter may be able to give us some information.

Good eating to you, eaving you gentlemen.

You we fomis quicker that I do, her that I do.

If I worked, I've seldom seen a better kept up.

Thank you, sir.

I do pride myself in my word.

Where if you can help me, you can't do if I can.

So.

Did you see a telegraph by deliver a message here this morning?

That day?

Did sir?

The boy came here about ten o'clock this morning?

I always keep in the front edge of the time, and you've been working here ever since.

Yes, sir, brought my lunch with me today and ate it in the garden.

Has anyone entered or left the house since that telegram was delivered?

Nos her, no one except yourself.

I see, I see.

I suppose you occasionally run errands, mister guitter, not much these days, sir.

The poor old gentleman keeps his chair in the house pretty much all the times.

Here.

I did run a message for him yesterday.

Oh where to well, sir?

I was prooling the rose bushes under his study windows when the window opens and his hand comes out with a message.

He told me to take it to the village office of the Times, and to tell him to print it just the way it was.

He looked kind of worried when he gave me the message, and he he whispered to me, just as if he was afraid in his own house.

I'm much obliged to you.

He has five shillings for your trouble.

Oh thank you, sir, much.

Advice to you.

I'm sure good evening, Good evening to you, gentlemen.

So that's how the.

Message was smuggled out, And no one has come to the house or left it since that telegram was.

A little close.

Of all, his body must still be inside that house.

We are going to search the house yes we are, but we're not armed.

Do they sit there?

They probably won't even let.

Us in, as they will.

We have an infallible key to entry a woman's vanity.

Come on, oh so you came there.

I thought you wouldn't be able to resist my challenge to a crystold establish him.

We had difficulty in finding a cab and decided to take a train back to London.

Nows Wait, so I well, I thought i'd accept your challenge.

Come in, we'll go into the back garden.

Thank you, don't talk loudly.

I think uncle's asleep in the next room.

Here, all right, uncle this way, gentlemen.

If your uncle wants to sleep, he was a punished Oh.

Well he's used to that doctor.

Here we are.

This is the fifty yard range.

Mister Holmes, three shots, bet advocate scr wins.

I'm stillard a bit.

You name the stake, name takes Miss Favershaman.

Certainly you take the first three shots.

Well, and it's just checked that it's loaded.

Yes, six bullets.

All right, here I go, brother, Miss Fabisham and twiners.

I can do better.

You'll turn the tones.

Jarres, Oh these man, friend of mine, I'll introduce you a minute, Jeffrey, but a bit of a letch at the moment you're turning to him.

Hey, Barba, please here you are.

Thank you you you're sure you know how to handle it with Albo quite sure?

Thanks?

And why are you pointing it at me?

Because I want you to raise your hands above your head?

You too, whatever your name is, Doris, who are these men?

Put up your hands.

I shan't hesitate to shoot.

I assure you come on, I said, what in heaven names you think you're up to?

Finding out what became of the real mister Quilt?

Search the man?

What's here?

Go to the house?

Were you in searching?

Yes, but of course an eldest man had a bulb.

On his hip keeping covered with it.

Now that who are you?

From your resemblance to the men in the wheelchair that we saw earlier, I should say that you're a number of the same family.

We're both relatives and mister Quilts.

That's right.

My name is Davis On from the Australian branch of the realities.

Yes, and Dougtless who stood to inherit his estate in the event of Culta's death.

You moved in on this defenseless old man terrorized him and lived off him and finally found it necessary to destroy him.

You're talking absolutely, he's.

Showing the truth and you know it.

I can tell by your.

Expressions or bagging of the house further.

You'll come on and keep your hands raised, all right, that's it.

Come on either way into the study and then posing as mister Cutter is still there.

We heard him call out as we came him.

Yes, we might as well confront the three of them together.

He's still seated in the chair.

He seems to be asleep.

Here.

Did you find anything another trace of the missing men?

Miss arms there is?

What did you do with mister Quilter?

I didn't do anything with him.

He's a good line to ask.

We know that that man's an impostor.

This is a fantastic situation.

Nobody has left this house since the telegram arrived, and nobody has come to it and get mister Quilter is Spanish?

Lord?

How when you sleep through all this talk you think you've been drugged?

Yeah, we are idiots.

You were unquestionably the most promising detective in France, and some people have been kinder not to grunt me a similar status in England's.

And yet my old friend Watson has just solved the case.

Oh nothing, too happy to well solved it.

How listen to the breathing of that man in a chair.

He's been drugged.

There sets the real mister Quilt.

It persecuted victim who sent her cipher message for help.

The man we spoke too earlier was you, mister Davies, impersonating Quilt and you'd receive this.

You took up your disguise, adopted an Australian accent and then hid your drug victim by placing him in his own wheelchair, knowing that would be the last place we look for him, and they would have kept him here until we had gone, and then murdered him.

What a devilish plot.

Well, what have you got to say to yourselves?

A Jetty's idea love mine.

I didn't have anything to do with it.

What's a joy?

Lie?

You were in this as much as I.

Oh this is splendid.

So this is splendid.

Please continue the argument.

It'll make interest evidence in court.

You can't take I said you court.

Of course you can't.

Watch the charge quote is still alive with me.

When mister Cutter revives under doctor Watson's administrations.

You will be charged, I have no doubt with attempted murder, abductions, igstration, juriss, and probably several other accounts.

Mister Bean, if you will find us at cab, you'll take these miscreants to Scrutsland's yard.

Our work is done well, doctor.

That was a fine story.

Eric, what are you fidgeting for?

We I'm expecting your guest.

I thought I heard him yourself that there's a front door.

I guess you're being as mysterious as mister Holmes.

You see I ah, come in talk to Watson.

How are you all rested?

Gregod, it's great to see you again, mister meet my friend.

Mister Gregory hood.

Not the Gregory hood, mister Bartell.

I like the way you say that.

Yes, mister Butell, this is the Gregory hood.

Mister Bartell.

If you listen to doctor Watson, he'll lead you to believe I'm much more important than I am.

I'm quite a simple person.

Really.

I'm kind to dogs, just love little children, and always help old ladies cross the street.

I also know how to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together.

It is unlike my old friend Holmes.

You pretend to over a little about criminals and crime, and yet you're one of America's outstanding criminologists.

So I've heard a hobby, mister Bartell, A hobby.

My real business is importing headquarters San Francisco.

I need any old masters.

Perhaps I can sell you a nice piece of jade, or which you'd rather have a bit of old Balinese culty.

Come a wait a minute, this is all a little too fast for you.

Will learn that Gregory is a little too fast for everybody.

But mister Bartell, I'm sure you'll get to know mister Hood a good eel better.

You See, as I've told you, I've always wanted to take a trip back to England, and now I have a chance to do so.

But Doctor, when I see you again, what about story?

Oh?

I shall be back in the fall.

But meanwhile, I've asked mister Gregory Hood to get together with you at this time every week and tell you.

Some of his experience, which of course makes me feel very important.

Mister Hood, as you know, has been involved in many famous cases dealing in crime.

His important business.

And his hearty criminology at a strange combination.

I learned that he keeps a diary of these cases, and it's a fascinating book, a casebook of gregory Hood.

The Case Book of Gregory Hood sounds intriguing, intriguing it certainly is.

Thank you well, then I can tell all our friends be sure to listen next week at the same time, and every Monday night through the summer to the Case Book of Gregory Hood.
