Of course he is doctor and how do we settle that how about tonight's story well a very beautiful girl

2:08Figured prominently in this adventure Mr. Foreman her name was Jasmine La Flue Huh you say that again doctor I know my boy but that was a stage I think she was a magician assistant unfortunately I never had the opportunity of seeing Jasmine La Flue in the theatre But I'm told that she was a fascinating figure in tights and in spangles But Holmes and I first met her however she was the best a little more convention there And the name them Diana Vennering lady Vennering Lady Vennering say those tights and spangles really paid off didn't they? Well how did you and Sherlock Holmes come to meet up with her doctor? Another spectacular scar Mr. Foreman Miss La Flue became something of a femme fatile in the early 1900s First of all she met it senior Rosone a magician for whom she was working On the wedding night he was mysterious this stabbed to death A few months later met him Rosone very fetching in her widows weaved I'm sure that's the will fit Vennering

3:13And after a whirlwind courtship she met it him And he got murdered too He did Mr. Foreman also on the night of the wedding This time the police found a suspect It was a certain major beck worth cousin of a dead man and an ardent shooter of the fair Diana The trial at the old Bailey was one of the most sensational they ever remember Sherlock Holmes and I were caught on the closing day of the journey but still considering that by Holmes the joy has been out over eight hours I bet you they can't agree on a verdict there be a new trial I think not all chap look now they come now You know there's a strong or a probability of guilt that I'm sure they'll agree that there's insufficient evidence to convict Oh that's your right just look at Lady Vennering down there to Hilvers What a what a stunning woman Yes and a woman of great points and courage Here it comes Gentlemen of the jury Have you arrived at a verdict? Rehears me Lord I will say you

4:15You find the defendant guilty or not guilty Not guilty Exactly come on Watson Let's get a breath of fresh air No I was telling you to have some we shouldn't go over and congratulate you in Vennering Of what? The fact that our husband's murder has not been found Oh I suppose you're right You're going to read the book of curvy to watch me curvy? I don't think so when is it published? Well to the whole hour time or chap No testament story Whatever made you think of it It's a moment Well it's so remarkably Apposite for the case Lady Vennering He deals with behind it purely in the city's murder Seven of them in a minute Correct it? It was a murder A jealous demon by the name of Asma Dears He's trying to have husbands on their wedding nights You know judging by the verdict just now Make your vehicle as just as the Asma Dears Who would have you call him in this case? The murder of the man He's a murderer Lady Vennering Such a murder of the man Who's a murder of the man Thank you You're not behind here

5:15Thank you Thank you Well huh? What does it say? Oh All right Here we are Listen to this The Vennering winner of the murder of the man says that she will marry the suspect Lady Vennering told newspaper reporters this afternoon that if Major Effectlet is acquitted She will marry him before he gets out From her soul home to the positive sparkle in your eyes You read it by her I must admit the lady fascinates me all chap I hope before she becomes involved in any further prejudice That we may have the opportunity of meeting her And something tells me that we will Some newspapers are certainly having a field there over the Vennering case home You can read them No, I didn't want them There's a complete life history of Lady Vennering and one of them was photographs It's... Well, they're interesting Really? What are you doing over there home?

6:16Looking out the window Ah, yeah, it's here Are you expecting anybody home? No, come over here, old fellow Well, it's a clergyman Yes, a very educated one It's the way he's pacing up and down And looking up at our window too Right, Joe What eye? Yes, there's a fanatical look about him Which suggests either the matter at the stake or the inquisitor lighting the faggots Mrs. Hudson's letting him in now Well, I'll be interested to know what he's come to us about And here footsteps on the stairs Oh, I'll do it, have a look I'll do it, sir Come along in with you That's all right, thank you, Mrs. Hudson You'll need to show that home I am, sir, and this is my colleague Dr. Watts My name is Whalen, the Reverend Arthur Whalen How'd you do it, sir? Sit down Could you and tell me what I can do for you? Thank you Mr. Holmes, this... This is a very difficult subject to boat In fact, it's only after intense personal conflict that I've been able to force myself to come to

7:19May I ask you, are you familiar with a book of turrets? You're talking about that yesterday, huh? I see that you've come to consult me about the venerary case But that's amazing How did you know? Has Lady Venner been in touch with you? No, sir, but... I have to meet her with a book of turrets Lady Vennering's case first that resembles that of the woman's setter and the Old Testament story More closely than you realize, Mr. Holmes Did you tell her that before each one of Lady Vennering's husbands was killed, they received a threatening note? Yes, I recall that from the client Signed in some sort of gibberish, wasn't it? No, doctor Yesterday, I was permitted for the first time to examine one of these books The pattern gibberish was in reality ancient Hebrew writing Indeed Were you ever to translate it? Yes, Mr. Holmes In effect, it's certain If you go through with this marriage, your hours are numbered And it was signed as more days The name of the jealous demon who strangled husbands in the book of tidbit Exactly Have you come to me, sir?

8:19I want you to talk to Diana to Lady Vennering To tell her she must not go through with this new marriage No, she's stalking her, Mr. Holmes I have argued with her, prayed with her, implored her to realize her danger But she is adamant I'm afraid I feel extremely presentuous in giving her my advice No, Mr. Holmes, I have prepared the way for you You could ensure her realize her danger And she is willing to see you say? Willing and anxious Very well But I'd like to ask you a few questions, but... Anything, Mr. Holmes? What is your interest in her? She's a member of my truck She needs a guidance Having further? No, Mr. Holmes? I believe that you performed a great ceremony at both of her previous weddings Yes Are you proposing to officiate the ceremony if she met his major equipped? Well, I... I don't know I'm hoping that marriage will never take place And so I want you to help, Mr. Holmes Where does the lady live? 47, back this spare

9:19Hey, well, a doctor Watson and I will call on us this afternoon No, delighted to I've doubted if I can do that myself In fact, Diana might speak more flu, if I'm not But here's my card You've no way to get in touch with me if you want to And it was her? Good day to you gentlemen And I am pray to you in your debt Good day, good day Mr. Holmes, I... I can't believe that Mr. Wayland's motives are entirely impersonal How can I, old chap? Well, I love you, man I was thinking of a book I've told it once You too In that the role of protector, the role I've just been asked to take, was played by the Archangel Raphael I can't help feeling what's in that I'm making distinct sprites in my profession This is Sherlock Holmes, I'm so glad to meet you

10:20How'd you do, Lady Van Reng? May I introduce my old friend Dr. Watson? How are you, Dr. Watson? I'm well prepared to meet you, Lady Van Reng Let's sit down, chap, we're here just in time for tea Thank you And you know why we're here, of course Naturally Mr. Wayland came round here as soon as he'd left you You were to persuade me to look after my muffler fairs While he takes care of my immortal ones Isn't that it? He takes care of my charming foot, Lady Van Reng Jumping May I say, Mr. Holmes, that I'm flattered that a man of your eminence should be sufficiently interested to bother about You wonder as to make you learn it properly, Van Reng Though I may mention that if your problem had been as simple as Mr. Wayland made it out to be, I might have been otherwise engaged For being very frank and a little mysterious Are you suggesting that Mr. Wayland didn't tell you everything? I am And I hope you will be more candid with me Sherlock Holmes, I like you You're most refreshing Uh, Milken showdown you tea

11:21Ah, just okay, no Here you are How about you, Dr. Watson? Oh, Mrs. M. Wayland, eh? Thank you better And now, Mr. Holmes, perhaps you'll tell me why you think that you haven't been told everything? But when I answered that, the Lady Van Reng, I wonder if I might ask you some questions But of course, anything When your first husband, uh, Seeros Sonny, was killed, did the police find any suspects? Ah, yes, one Friend and goat, yeah, a young man who had been an assistant in armotions act Uh, stupid, croaking boy who thought he was mad with me But of course, Inspector Lestrade had to release him There was no evidence Mr. Charles, well, you can bet that he arrested him The boy was innocent Well, you know, the founder of your husband's effects, wasn't it? Yes And it was signed in Hebrew with the name Asmodeus Uh, that perhaps you're not familiar with the Book of Two Oh, yes, yes, I am I'm familiar with it, Lady Van Reng Uh, how did you know them, the Pehebrew let her signify that name?

12:22Mr. Wayland translated them for me Oh, I see And also read me the Book of Two a bit He's always been particularly fond of that book Perhaps because it illustrates his own ideas on the dangers of madness Don't tell us that he hasn't seen one of the warning notes Yes, today For some, Lady Van Reng I read in the papers that you intend to marry Major Bequist And the man who has just been tried your late husband's murder Yes, Mr. Holmes Funny you better marry a mayor But it praises me? Doesn't it occur to you that, uh, a great deal of comfort Will it cause? Also that Major Bequist's life is in obvious danger? Of course it occurs to be my dear man That's because of two tragic marriages Am I to spend the rest of my life alone? As Mr. Wayland would have me do? I'm young, alive Peter, what are you doing here? I just arrived back in England today, Diana What's the side of it about you marrying Dequist? Peter, I have a guest Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson This is for my comers One of our most promising young painters

13:22I am a true true When I left England, you left me And I you I come back and what do I find? You're planning to marry Bequist Well, I won't stand for it If you think you can throw me over like some silly boy You're very much mistaken I can tell things, you know I can tell lots of things Get out of here, Peter Get out Say hi, Emma And don't come back until you've learned manners And discretion But Diana Get out I'm sorry, gentlemen But are there any more questions you wanted to ask me, Mr. Holmes? One lady, Bennering Where is your fiance, Mr. Bequist? He's upstairs I'm letting him stay here until the scandal of the trial has died down I must see him at once And once, right home, he's in no danger until the marriage takes place The marriage has taken place, Watson And we'll find very much mistaken It makes you think so, Mr. Holmes You're much too discreet of intelligent lady, Bennering

14:22To let him stay here in your house unless you were already married We were married this morning But we planned to keep the factor secret for a few months until the scandal had died down Now, Doctor, please I'll ring for the butler and ask him to come down May I ask Madam, who married you? The Reverend Arthur Queen Oh, and all the time he talked to us today and you perfect the world This marriage has taken place You must have just come from it I don't trust that, man, home Oh, there you are, Watson Oh, there you are, Watson, I just rang for you Uh, well, you asked me to beg for you Excuse me, you ma'am I was just on my way to telephone the police The police? What do you mean? It's made to beg for the lady He's been stabbed to death in his bath Oh, this is backwards murder, too Hudson, I'll telephone the police And now I'm rather well acquainted with Inspector Lestrod Excuse me, Stephanie A grateful visit, huh?

15:22A third husband married on his wedding day But what a woman, Watson, she's superfaculant Not enough to me, huh? What courage? What uncomfortable spirit in the face of a fresh tragedy? Watson, she fascinates me I haven't seen such a splendid female Since we solved that case for the Chibohinha Doctor Watson's story will continue in just a few seconds Time enough to remind you that the easiest way to make good food taste better is to serve that good food with a swell petri wine And there are two petri wines in particular just made to go with food Petri, California, so turn, a delicate white wine with a subtle flavor that's perfect with chicken and fish And petri, California, burgundy A hearty, rich red wine It's out of this world with any meat or meat dish So if you want to know just how good a cook you are Serve your good food with petri wine made to go with it

16:23A petri burgundy or a petri so turn Two swell petri meal-time wines And now back to tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure The famous detective and his old friend, Dr. Watson, have become involved in the affairs of Price-Married Diana One-time magician's assistant Each of her husbands has been mysteriously murdered on his wedding day The latest murder occurring at the same day that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson have brought into the case As we rejoin our story, it's a month later And for some obscure reason, Sherlock Holmes seems to have lost interest in the case Though not in the beautiful day Mr. Holmes Yes, the start hits over a month now since Major Beckless was murdered And we haven't found a single clue to it Do you expect me to supply the deficiencies of stuff and yard? Well, it's unlikely not to help us, Mr. Holmes And after all, you and Dr. Watson were in the house when it happened If you ask me, the murderers, either macomus, that Irish painter, or the clergyman, wait them

17:24What do you think? As far as I'm concerned, the case has closed the start And I wish you'd stop bothering me I don't think I am, nothing but a tickting machine Mr. Holmes, whatever has come over you Holmes, you're not going out again this evening, are you? I'm afraid so, Sherlock Holmes Well, this will be the fourth night in a row It's hoping that we might have a nice, quality evening One of the four Oh, I'm sorry Watson, but I promise to take Guy Anna to the washroom at Olympia I am simply honed by midnight Mr. Holmes, yes, Mr. Wellen You are seeing all together too much of Diana She seems to be completely under your spell But you introduced it to her in the first place With a request that I keep an eye on her I made a great mistake As her spiritual protector, I'm afraid I must ask you to stop seeking her And I'm afraid I must ask you, sir And mind your own business Mr. Holmes, have you seen the paper That that violinist is always playing at the Albert Hall tonight?

18:24I know I haven't looked at the paper today Oh, it's looked absolutely much too long I'm afraid I can't hold you up No, I'm taking Diana to the French made of Delius together And here it's a charming musical comedy Look here, Holmes, we've been friends for many years now Very cool, hello And I think I'm entitled to speak to you straight from the show there Of course, you are Watson Very well then, this Diana Beckwood Oh, yes, your own business, I suppose But I can't bear to see how making such a fool of you Even in acting your work at Palace, did you better? You get about as old as a young fellow 20 What's coming over here, Holmes? Stop, stop tasting a bottle, Jack, will you answer down? In fact, it might be a good idea Or if you thought I'd yourself for the never-branding From the pantalors there And what I'm about to tell you Maybe something of the fuck And Watson... Diana and I are getting married tomorrow What did you say, Holmes? And I'm getting married tomorrow

19:25But you're insane Oh, that's not very flattering What's in any way I don't see why you should be so surprised? You will have served madly and let me speak once Didn't you? If you Holmes have confirmed woman No, no, no, no, no, no, my dear, what's wrong? Indeed, no You will remember, in our adventure, that you titled A Scandal in Bohemia I am met a lady that I have often referred to as a... Oh, the woman You mean I really had one, but you were a criminal Exactly, and yet Diana has the same magnificent characteristics Forchie intelligence, courage, and uncomfortable states The Holmes three of her habitants murdered on their wedding nights They are proposing to be a fall Oh, rubbish, my dear fellow, because tragedy has attended her previous marriages, she should have gone through life alone. Holmes, you, you really mean it, don't you? Of course I do. I think I will have a nipper, Brenner. Oh, go on, take it. So bad, your fellow will continue to see a lot of each other. Diana's very fond of you, you know. Oh, man. Yeah. Who's going to perform the Selmer? Not the, the Reverend, Mr. Wailer.

20:27Oh, no, no, no, no, we decided in view of Diana's previous marriages, that he might prove to be a thicoller, well, unlucky. A churchman named Belney will officiate, Wailer, and of course, insists on being present up the same. What time is the wedding tomorrow? Two o'clock, oh, well, I shouldn't have mentioned this before. I hope you're cutaway coat and top hat are in a good state preservation. You will be a pretty prominent figure of the Selmer, you know. You mean that, well, I'm in detective Sherlock Holmes gets married. Who else could be his best man, but he's old friend Dr. Watson. He's elementary, my dear fellow, elementary. I now pronounce who man and wife, and those whom God had joined together, let no man put a sander. Hello, I'm going to claim the privilege of the best man and give you kids.

21:33Of course, you shall, doctor. It's you, Holmes, you, you, you, you, it's lucky for us. Of course I am, oh, sir. Sherlock, I'm going upstairs to change my dress now. Very well, Diana. I'll be up shortly. I'll see you later, doctor Watson. Very well, Mrs. Holmes. And that was all I looked for, what's known for the wedding? Very today, oh, yeah, what's the matter? Well, just for the ceremony, I received one of those warning notes signed by Asmodeiros. Oh, you'd better be careful, Holmes. I think I'll slip out and have a pipe or two on the matter. Yes. Look out to my guests for me, we'll do it. If your eyes open, you've got ears. I will indeed. Oh, these worms too, Ellen. Would you care for glass of champagne, or punch your tummy, or other? Thank you, no doctor. I'm in no mood for celebration. I'm certain that Diana has made a shocking mistake. I only came here in the last minute of 10th to dissuade her. Now that I've failed, I shall leave. Good day, sir.

22:33Doctor Watson. Oh, hello, McCormick. Where's Mr. Holmes? He's back in a few minutes. Would you care for a glass of champagne, sir? Well, thank you. I should like to drink a toast to the pair. I've been in love with Diana for years, you know, but... Well, she wouldn't marry me, and... I suppose I might as well make the best of it. I must say, your friend Sherlock Holmes seems like a splendid fellow. He is indeed MacGermus. In fact, I may say... What's up, excuse me, sir? Alright, Holmes, I'm coming. I'm here. What else am I to happen? Follow me, knock the door behind you. Allow me to introduce you to the demon Asmodea Swats. Unfortunately, at the moment, he isn't a faint. Good lord. It's Diana. Exactly. Always an infectious woman. She made the mistake of trying to stab me with that knife. So I bent her to strap up a suitcase. She didn't allow for the well-knitter, in which I was watching her. You mean you... Or I did, Othello. The problem was to find a poof.

23:34I first suspected her when I knew that she had been a magician's assistant. The key to the profession of magic is misdirection. And these murders have been a perfect example of misdirection motive. How do you mean, Holmes? Well, by creating Asmodea's. Thanks to the well-meaning stories of Van. The Reverend Mr. Wellen, who's theological libraries. She must have covered the Hebrew signature. She focused the murders on jealousy, concealing the fact that the one person with a perfect motive was herself. The widow, who was to inherit it. Oh, I think she'd been caught before. I should have said. I'd double this forever. She left no clues, except an indirect one that I once studied. But the lightiest person to be able to approach. A bright, gromance suspected and stabbed in is his bride. Now I wish you'd see if you can revive Othello. When the police get here, I should like Mrs. Holmes to be in full possession of all her faculties.

24:34Well, Holmes, I must say I never expected to be driving back with you to Baker Street on your wedding day. I can't tell you. I'll figure out what you really thought that I deserved it, didn't you? That's, I wish you'd tell me the truth. No, I can't tell anyone. Not even you. If the faintest shadow of suspicion had ended her mind, I'd never afford it. Well, it seems to be you paid a pay high price, Holmes. You told me you made a will in her favour, supposing something happened to you before her trial. She'd get the money, you know? Overwill or not. That was worth this. I took Diana. There was a holographic will and perfect about it. Well, what do you mean there's a holographic will? A will drawn up to one's own handwriting on a piece of dirty, plain paper. Such a document is quite legal, but I do mine up on a paper with a little paper. That made it invalid. Well, I see the defector means that you are married, Holmes. I really thought you completely didn't die, Watson. Didn't the name of the clergyman who married us suggest anything to you? Reverend Verly? No, and why not, should it? Well, Verly was a French painter of some note. It also happens to have been a great uncle of mine and, um, microbes.

25:36You mean that, if your brother, microbes was a clergyman? I mean that microbes was dismayed as a clergyman. And the very convincing Javi did too. A more satisfactory clergyman than the Reverend Mr. Wailer note, but whose possible complicity may compel him to answer some very awkward question. Hey, you're not married. But myself, Holmes, I don't know what to say. Then I suggested you say nothing, my dear child. Let's just sit back quietly as two good friends can and rule out the multiplicity of human affairs. Well, Dr. Tonight's adventure was really a little extraordinary to say the least. Holmes, you're had a narrow escape. A doubler now, Mr. Foreman, doubler now. He not only skipped the jaws of death, but he also escaped the clutches of Matribeler. Actually, the story had a happy ending for everybody, but later venering.

26:36Uh-oh, Jasmine La Flore. What about that artist, fellow McCormus? How did he take it? Well, very well, very well indeed. In fact, in gratitude, he even painted Holmes' portrait. Okay, exactly. Good like this. They're one of those modern artists who paint his impressions of a person rather than a portrait. What do you mean? Well, now, let me see if he were to paint his impression of you. Oh, you'd probably end up by looking like a bottle of Petri Wain in his portrait jacket. Oh, I had, Dr. He continues me all you want, but I'll still rave about Petri Wain. And why not? The facts bear me out that Petri Wain most certainly is good wine. After all, the Petri family knows all there is to know about the art of turning plump, sun ripen grapes, and the fragrant delicious wine. That's because they've been making wine for generations. Ever since they started the Petri business way back in the 1800s. And because the making of Petri Wain is a family affair, the family has been able to hand down from father to son, from father to son, all their skill and knowledge and experience. And believe me, that adds up to plenty.

27:37So, no matter what type of wine you prefer, one to serve with meals or a wine for any special occasion, choose one of the fine Petri wines. You can't miss because Petri took time to bring you good wine. And now, Dr. Watten, what story do you have lined up for us next week? Well, now, let me see, Mr. Fallman. I'm going to tell you about a strange adventure that began by taking a wild cab ride through the moonlit streets of London. And ended homes in me, being tapped in a luxuriously furnished cellar, the lower furniture warehouse, down by the waterfront. Tonight, Sherlock Holmes' adventure is written by Dennis Green, an Anthony Balcher, and is based on an incident in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's story, the adventure of Shoscombe Old Place. Mr. Rathbone appears to the courtesy of Metro Golden Mayor and Mr. Bruce, to the courtesy of Universal Pictures, where they are now starring in the Sherlock Holmes series.

28:41The Petri wine company of San Francisco, California, invites you to tune in again next week, same time, same station. All the Petri family took the time to bring you such good wine. So when you eat and when you cook, remember Petri wine. To make good food, better remember. Pet, pet, petri wine. This is Bill Foreman, saying good night for the Petri family. Sherlock Holmes comes to you from our Hollywood studios. This is the mutual broadcasting system.
