Good evening, Doctor, good evening, mister Foreman, come in and thank you.

You're looking particularly comfortable tonight, Doctor, feed up on the sofa, and puppy's asleep on your lap.

Yes not, for the three of us went for long walk on the piece this afternoon.

Monty and Winnie had a running battle with the seagulls.

The con fass sleep ever since become.

Oh, I hope you're not too tired.

Doctor.

I'm counting on.

A new Sherlock owned story, you know.

No, no, no, I'm already for him as to form.

And in fact I was going through my notes on the case justfore you arrive.

Well, last week you told us it concerned a strange society who held their meetings in an underground ball of the furniture warehouse.

I mean, that's right, my boy.

Now I win it.

Oh no, no, no.

The story we live again when storm in November nineteen, eighteen hundred and eighty seven, I was married at the time and living away from Baker Street.

On this night in question, my wife had already gone to bed, and I was nodding in.

Front of the par over one of Clark Russell's.

Fine sea stories.

I'd had a very tiring day.

I remember it was about the hour that a man gives his first yawn and glance at the clock.

Suddenly I pronked door bell jangle discordantly.

A servant Edna had gone up to bed, so I crossed to the window and opened it.

Then it dark and I could just see the outline of a figure standing on my doorstep.

It looked like a woman.

Suddenly, a cultivated voice called up to me.

Uh h, yes, madam, I'm the doctor and dick, oh all right, I'll be down immediately.

I closed the window, scribbled enough to my wife, grabbed my coat and hat and my bag, and a few minutes later I stepped out on the front door and closed it behind me.

Carriage was standing at the curb, but.

I couldn't see any trace of the lady who called men.

The only person in sight was an old and impossible figure woman dressed in rags and tatters.

After a moment of bewilderment, I spoke, Uh, did you see a lady leave here.

A moment ago?

No, Doctor, she didn't leave.

She's still waiting for you.

Oh give me, madam, but close the order.

You a beggar woman.

The discuss that.

Now.

Please get in this carriage.

Where's the driver I'm going to drive?

Please get in.

On the business.

Are you sure that you can handle those horses?

Madam?

Of course I can.

I should tell me the way you're driving.

Man, O beg heavens, we've finally reached our destination to give them halfway across London.

Hello.

Hello, it must be somewhere down near the river.

No drinking places here, nothing.

But enormous wall.

Uh why we stopped here, madam?

Please?

I wish you'd tell me where you're taking.

Man, we have a club here in the basement.

To see for yourself, a solid looking door.

How do you proposed to get fasted?

I'll show you.

Lord, must be a secret club of.

Yours, madam.

Oh knocks number.

If the password to.

The lentence, follow me, doctor, Yeah.

Not of mind?

Who wish you tell me where you're taking?

Man?

This looks like the entrance to an opium there, Laura thieves kitchen.

Don't worry, doctor, You're in no danger.

There?

Does that look like a thieves kitchen?

Pat God, I don't blame my eyes, and I'm sure as they furnished room.

What a strange collection of people.

Some look like beggars, others in full evening dress.

Peasy number seven?

Who is this?

Man?

Is a doctor?

I went to kitchen?

I thought, I said, there would have been no strangers.

Now look here, my good man.

I've been extremely patient, my tempers beginning to wear a little thin.

Either let me see your patient once or show me out.

That time valuable.

I don't propose to wastro I'm sorry, doctor.

Where is Judens in the back room?

If you know what's good for you, Doctor, whatever you call yourself, you'll forget everything you're seeing here threatening.

You're not the least interested in your blasted club.

Just take me to the patient.

This is the man we wanted to examine.

Doctor.

What happened?

He fell down the stairs leading into the club.

Room.

Well, why'd you move him?

We wanted him to be comfortable.

It's the worst thing in the world you could have done.

Never never move a person with an injured skull.

Is he going to go right?

Doctor?

He isn't his next broken?

He's dead?

Huh sure that doctor, man, I'm afraid you need an undertaker, not a doctor.

I must tell the others.

I fired everybody.

Julian is dead.

Julia dead.

Oh, this is terrible.

Who's this Man's a doctor?

I better get him out of here at once.

We don't want to be strangers.

Knows you about?

That's right.

Shouldn't have bought him anyway.

I just I assure you that isn't gentlemen, I have this.

I just DETI to stay here one moment longer.

If you direct me to the.

Door again, madam, I'll try to find a cab myself.

And this god was taken, just took, and go home.

Show him out and give him his money follow me.

I'm do mind if I don't drive you home, doctor, no, I.

Should prefer it.

My nerves aren't in the best of shape.

You mustn't be angry with me, doctor, please leaving again?

Number seven?

No, but this gentleman, is will you see if you can find a.

Cab for him to whom shall I send in my bill.

Adam, here's a five pound note that should cover your time in trouble.

Shouldn't.

Oh no, no, no, it's it's far too much.

Plead at night.

And it has been a very pleasant case for you.

Please take it kind of jeers and deeds.

But by the way, how'd you happen to come to me in the first place?

I was driving about looking for a doctor and a police been directed with your house.

Cabin.

Well, thank you, my man, thank you.

Doctor.

May I come round in the morning for the death certificate, of course.

Because you will remember my address yet.

But I don't know his name Watson, doctor Watson, doctor, not not for doctor Watson who's associated with Shella Cones.

That is what you know of me, doctor, And please forget about everything you see.

H m hm.

But my soul an amazing business.

Holmes will be interested to hear about this, And that's the way it was, Holmes, one of the most curious advinces I ever had.

And without you, interesting Watson, you say the sun the down cellar was luxuriously furnished.

Yes, and the people.

There were an amazing mixture.

Some are in rags and some in evening.

Dress like the lesser rhy eh, some in rags and some in tags, and some in don't gown.

Exactly in the feeling that I was taking part in the story out of the Arabian Nights, I must say though I was pretty angry at the time.

However, after a good.

Night's rosta, it feels quite different this morning.

But I thought i'd just drop around and tell you all about it.

Like that you did.

My left alone.

It would be interesting to see if any repercussions.

If you're a strange adventure Richards, Oh, I doubt it.

The woman seemed frightened to death when I mentioned your name.

We will see you meanwhile, I'm expecting a fan.

I'm not too busy, but you can stay no like very much.

Who is it?

You know?

Disagram will tell you much more than I can.

Right Denial Ago, tell a look see at your lodgings this morning to discuss our problem.

Signed ams pretty high handed message at your lodging.

So please, I suppose m S stand for.

I'm just tying with that problem when you arrived.

Did it be the American Medical school.

No, no, there's no such body.

It's the American Medical Association Imperial.

A tone of the message inclines me to believe that the age stands for Amateur very.

Possibly Amateur Masculine.

Society, the amateur Murderers.

That would be a nice pot, wouldn't it, because they're representative now, no doubt to stay a further guesswork homes.

It looks like the same character as I drove in last night.

The girl standing on your dog that the Hyperfeeston.

This is splendid.

It seems that we have not heard the end of your adventure.

Go and meets the lady at the top of the stairs.

Well she happened, save missus Hudson's way.

Thank you.

All right, let's come in, madam, Come in, jefe.

Your service, madam when it's done.

And lady, don't be brownly, it's your voice.

You're the lady who fetched me last night.

Dress as a bigger woman.

Yes I am, doctor Watson.

Forgive me for being so mysterious at the time.

Doubtless you have come to consult me regarding last night's unfortunate accident at the Amateur Mendicant Society.

Did you know what the initials stood for mister Home.

After hearing doctor Watson's story of last night's happening, the connotations seemed obbious.

Am I right perfectly?

Last night when doctor Watson told us Dream was dead, we thought.

It was an accident, and now you think it is murder Me, Lady Brahmitt, if you expect my help there there's been no more mystery.

Just what is this amateur Mendican society?

I must say it will be a little hard for you to understand our motives for a group of people, rather wealthy people.

I suppose to find pleasure in deliberately leading his steamy life to the skies as beggars.

We use the paston that youuri.

Passhi doctors our headquarters to keep our beggars there and change out of them before we go home.

Fantastic, A futile worthless of spending your leisure of time.

I suppose it must seem so m to home.

But we're curious to learn how the other hearth lives.

The course, there is a certain thrill and rubbing shoulders with the police.

At least we do some good.

Indeed, I should be interested to learn.

How the money we make it beggars.

We give to charity, really, and you feel that this gesture on your part absolves you from any responsibility to the real beggars whose reglihood you are impairing.

I hadn't thought of it just like this.

Then I suppose you won't want to help them.

Oh that's quite another matter, madam.

And as a professional detective, I cannot appord to be a modelist.

Yes, I will investigate this case for you, though I warn you my.

Fee will be an extremely high one.

Money isn't important, mister Holmes, as long as we can solve Julian's debt without bringing the police into the case.

Lady Banner, who is the dead man?

The man you referred to as Julian?

Julian Trepor, the poet.

He was the one who started out the sign.

Read some of his work distinctly.

What makes you think that he was murdered?

Lenny Bran laughter you left last night, Doctor Watson.

It was a terrible scene.

Yount and the city host.

He's a big fellow who is sawn pleasanter.

Yes, that's the one.

He said that he saw Lord Cecil delipally tripped Julian as he came.

To the head of the staircase, Lord Cecil being Lord Cecter.

Divin for son of the Earl of Lushen.

There was a bit of argument, Cecil, I huse Sydney doing the same thing.

Then they had a dreadful sight.

It ended up with set of threatening to go to the police.

So that's when we decided to send a telegram to.

So the proof of murder depends on such climsy evidence as to whether the dead man fell.

Or was pushed.

It seems like sister Holmes, even though you don't approve, please.

Help, won't you.

Yes, Lady Brodney, I'll go.

Will you come back with me?

Now?

Do I headquarter him?

I will join you in the hour.

In the meantime, my old friend doctor Watson, go with you.

Come?

What could I do without you?

Metodoe?

Jab back?

According there.

Could you?

You'll be there.

I promise you that I will be there.

Madam, thank you so much.

Please set you well.

I'll just get my hat and coat home.

What are you up to?

Go with her?

And ask no more questions than I will join you within the hour.

Your eye.

I don't think you believe.

Of course I have what's woolen work?

And go with her old fellow, and keep your wits about you.

The games are foot.

The story of the Amateur a Mendican Society will continue in just a few seconds time.

I'd like to use to remind you that you're really missing something.

And then you try having wine with your dinner, and I need a Petrie wine.

Let's say a Petrick California Burgundy or a Petrick California's Soul turned.

Both wines are just made to make good food taste better.

If you like a red wine, try Pettree Burgundy.

Try it with hamburger, with stew, with any meat or meat dish.

And if you like a delicious white wine, a wine that'll make chicken taste better than ever, try a well chilled pet Tree cell turned with food.

Nothing can take the place of a good pet Tree wine.

And now back to tonight's ugh Sherlock Holmes Adventure.

The Amateur Mendican Society, a group of wealthy eccentrics who pose his beggers, have come to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson with a problem.

One of their members has apparently been murdered, and the famous pair have been asked to investigate the killing.

As we rejoin our story.

Doctor Watson, still awaiting the arrival of the great detective, is cross questioning three of the members at the headquarters of this unusual I.

Don't find your stuff is very convincing.

Now, let's suppose you stop asking questions until Sherlock Holmes gets here.

He's the master engaged to settle his business, not you.

We're paying for his services, not those of his assistant.

Mister Holmes asked me to conduct this preliminary investigation.

My good man, I'm perfect familiar with his methods, So keep a civil coming in your head if you want.

Us to continue with his case.

I'm not answering any more questions till he gets here.

Stopballer.

Uh, Lord cecil, you say that you saw Holt deliberate the tip the dead man as he came down the stairs last side, Yes, I did, well, where were you standing her at the head of the staircase.

Hope was beside me.

And as Junien came by, he deliberately.

Please excuse me, number eleven, Excuse me?

What is it?

Where is this strange man just coming in?

He is dressed as you when you work, But I do not remember you've seen him here before.

He speaks very rough.

Did he get the correct signal?

Yes, I'm the passport.

He must be a new member, and I suppose I better see him, bring him in a bad time for the come here, come, please wait, please saw me?

Yeah, well right, don't you do yourself?

Prayer?

Don't you?

Who are you?

And Hollis get in here.

I'll give you a sickle in the past.

Work just like Julian tell me too.

You're a friend of Julian whose I am here?

I'm going to meet me here to die?

Who are you reeling?

We're all friends here.

Yes, you can talk feeling and permit people into produced by said I I'm John Louis Jose at job service.

Why do you want to joint?

When Julian tell me about it?

Well, it's sickle mind, how you say?

Are not funny going?

It is a so charming idea to see those of mendicancy.

I suppose he's all right, bost time, All right now, parents, Julian peace, you will.

Vouch for me.

He's in the other room.

They had an accident and I.

Couldn't not the bad run out, a very bad one.

I can work and you better take him in there and break the news to him.

We'll follow me.

H, this is terrible.

Please tell me what happened?

Doctor the shocks for.

Your friend is dead.

His neck was sproken last night.

And except that, I do believe it was an accidents homes.

But not quietly enough, mister Sherlock Holmes, come on, come back to the others and let all take a look at you.

Come on, get moving, both of you.

This is not a pop gun in my hands.

Holding away, Oh dessil.

Oy, come here.

I wanted to take a look at the great Sherlock Holmes walked into our traps like any stupid policeman.

Now I had a dress up to do it, mister Holmes, we were waiting for you here anyway.

You know I was going to wear a Batmister Holt You see I knew I was walking into a trap.

Did you know that was Apparently the story you brought was today was obviously a false one, just as there is no amateur mendicant society.

Why Holmes, mister tell him, I see how much you really do?

Now?

Why stall tell you what you already know?

On talk?

If you know what's going for you, you're so persuaded on very well undoubtedly, Julian Trevor's dead last night was an accident.

You fetched the doctor, Lady Browne a very actual move, and later discovered that the doctor in question was the old.

Friend of Throck Poones.

We're all afraid that.

I would become interested in your unusual society until you invented that very thin story about the accident being a murder.

You want to lure me here so that I could be disposed of and you could all continue your necarious works without influence.

How aren't we clever?

What is on the various work?

My eye ask password gave me a clue for the lanterns fire the French revolutionists.

They are strongly aristocrats up on the lamp posts.

Then again, the.

Combination of curious costumes and a luxurious establishment in a low class area posed another question of political belief.

Provides a common meeting ground for misgagged aristocrats and dangerous commoners.

And how did you answer that?

Christ?

All that is implement one word nihilism.

It's doctrin an assassination and overlo of government to find every chance of being put into practice by all of you at the forthcoming Jubileus celebrations to be helped her in.

London, and also with a count for your beggars.

Those beggar would have greater freedom of movement in account than an ordinary person.

You're a clever man, mister Holmes.

Too bad you'll have to die.

I'll get the wrong.

What you going to do with him?

Do?

Give him my first hand taste of nihilism?

Of course, it's can't love.

I know too much.

You can't possibly do this.

You know the police will track us her.

By the time the police get here, you and your friend homes will be blown the kingdom come right hast gather as the homes.

That's it, Oh, my risk of mine?

We know it's confounded before.

Isn't that a shame?

Now?

There's any better tie up?

The doctor settle while I find homes as fake?

Can I go through with this daughter?

You can't go through it.

I just can't stand by and see too innocent then murder.

Don't be a fooled off they we complacently have They know too.

Much, don't you You give one with the time going out with the police.

You high up as well.

Let me alone.

And go on.

You're the devil.

Shudder now, mister Holmes, I'm going to fetch a little invention, a little invention.

I'm sure you'll be interested in.

Mister Holmes, it's a pity you and your friend didn't learn to mind your own business.

I'm afraid it's too late to teach an old dog new tricks.

Too late now at any rate, quite comfortable.

Watch, don't you speak of easer.

You're a filter traitor to your comfort rubbish.

Here we are sample of Mikhail Petraw's mechanical genius.

And set the fuse to go off in in five minutes.

You're bound hand and foot, sitting beside each other on the.

Sofa, Tella Dorothy, think about course during the five minutes, ask for you at their owns and your friend.

But ready the bad.

This looks like I blame myself.

I hadn't been so infernally annoysy and I recognized.

You you will be in this mess.

I think they suspected me anyway, I must say.

It seemed to me that you told them a deal more than was necessary about your suspicions.

Surely you can pretended I have done.

By the way, was I right in assuming with your associates on nigh.

Lists they are planning to assasinate the Prime Minister during that you believe celebraates.

Homes, We've got to get free.

Assuming some medical happened, we did get free, and your former associates were ranged in court, which is testify against the hole couse?

I would, And what chance is that.

I'll stop it for you?

Homes.

Your hands are free.

And it's wrist I mentioned just now, I concealed a razor edge blade.

I cut through the ropes almost before our friends had left the room.

Why did you keep us in the suspense?

Home?

I wanted to quite shore that you testify in the forthcoming fire, Madam, we are that renders them.

Ah, and that deems with.

The hung the fact that I set your associates later Bra, It's like if he that you had a change of hearts and prevented you from leaving us.

Oh, mister Holmes, how could I ever thank you?

Home?

You had the place surrounded with police when you came in here.

No, wonder, you told them so much.

You wanted them to.

Show their hair the health alone, and they obliged me most satisfactory.

They attempted doctor for murder.

Considering it's very noon, I think you'll agree Watson, that is a very for himse at morning's work.

Doctor, tell the truth.

Were you scared wait for that time bomb to go off?

Care?

My boy?

I was so scared that to this day I can't stand being in the same room with a loud picking cock.

Heems to speak to me, seems to say.

Ticktock, this is the end, ticktock, this is the end.

Petrie took time to bring you good wine?

Petrie took time to bring you good wine.

Us you listen to your clock and our listen to mine.

Nush, Doctor, Can I help it if I like to hear about Petree wine?

After all, that Petree family really knows how to make good wine.

And it's no wonder they've been making wine ever since they started the Petree business generations ago waacked in the eighteen hundred.

Because the making of Petrie wine is a family affair, well, they've been able to hand on down from father to son, from father to son, the skill and experience of each preceding generation.

So naturally, when it comes to turning luscious sun ripe and grapes and the fragrant, delicious wine, well you just can't beat the Petrie family because Petree took time to bring you good wine.
