Sherlock Holmes - Shoscombe Old Place

0:00The capital idea was let us return to our humble abode two to one the biggest big the from London we present Choskham old place by Sir Arthur Turnham Doyle with cotton harbs as shella combs and norman shelly as dr. Watson you know something of racing don't you want to know I want to wipe paper about half the wound then I'll make you my handy guide to the third does the name of Sir Robert Norbert and we call entity actually there's a he does a Choskham old place my summer quarters were down there wonder but you know over the nil how is that it was when he horse

1:00mips and bro the person sweet money lendron you mug he you're kidding he sounds interesting does he often indulge in that where he has the name of being a dangerous man one of them still has overshot that two generation he should have been a regency back great eye for the ladies boxer athlete and about the most dead they were right in the country came second in the national of New Year's back they said what he lost on the turf has got himself on the square street he may never find his way back again kept it all about some unadmirable thumbnail sketch now can you give me some idea of Choskham old place well only this is the middle of Choskham park in parks show the Choskham started training quarters of the head and the head trainer is John Mason he didn't look so surprised my dear wasn't he was due here some minutes and then he said more about Choskham I think to a instructor rich made well the Choskham stand-holes you hear of him whenever he dogs

2:00show they're the special pride of the lady of Choskham old place so rather than know it is worth no no no he's never met him just as well I think considering his prospect he lived with his wit of sister lady Bertrand Sporra matter of fact the place belonged to her late husband no matter there was no claim on his tour when she dies she reverts to her husband's brother so she only has a life interesting that's right she draws the rents and nobody spends them still I heard she's a very certain but what's a miss at Choskham? oh that's just what I wanted and here I expected the men have been killed John Mason's death oh that's a Mason this is my friend and colleague got to watch already doodzer how do you know you had my note in his rooms yes but it explained nothing there was two delicate things to put the details on paper too complicated well here we are at your disposal oh do you see that

3:00sir yes well first of all Mr. Holmes I think my employers are Robert Norbert and Don Madd this is paper street is to miss not all street but why do you say that? those are well a man does one odd thing or two odd things there may be a mean in to it but when everything does is odd and he begins to wonder why reckon the Choskham prints on the Darby of Tony's brain between them Choskham prints as a coat the Robert is injured or as a best in England in order to know if anyone does but I'll be playing with you gentlemen there because I know this won't go beyond the room so Robert has got to win this Darby he's up to his neck he's his last chance everything he can raise or borrow is on that horse and it's fine odds too that's because the horse is good is that? well the public don't know how good he is Dr. Watson so Robert's too clever for the attacks he has the prints he's out all right for spins he can't tell him apart but there are two lengths

4:00and a furlong between him when he comes to a golf no sir he's overloyfe it on the prints if he fails him he's done it seems not that a disc that gamble but where does the man miss? no first of all he's only got a look at him he's always a a while he's got the stables two hours and as the way he behaves to Lady Beatrice who? he's not fair but he's always been the best of friends he loves the horses and much of the egos he shows him prints when he heard her coming he showed out to the carriage for his lumber sugar every time but that's all over now well? he seems to have lost all interest for a week now she's just driven past the stables well so much is a good morning you think there's been a problem? oh, he a bit a boy else would he give away our pet span you? first then? oh, she's lovely to see if it were a child but he gave it away a few days ago to all barns where he keeps the green dragon down a candle of course but there are a week heart and drop

5:00see she wouldn't get about with the Robert but he used to spend a couple of hours with her in a room every evening that's all over too he never goes near she takes it to Arthur he told Chains Mr. Holmes everything's changed and something going on mark more words there's something more than? all right, that's the reserve no it often no it the master sneaks off down to the crypt of the old church all right, it's an old ruined chapel in the park I see dark down places too bad enough by day there's not many in our parts but think of going there by night honking no die are you more smile Mr. Holmes could you have a bad name amongst us for generations? anyway? there he goes every night wet or fine too interested more on this to Mason but how do you know well it was my head-led steams no one's sneaking out first of all and told me not of our business perhaps you'll say that we went after him we waited behind a bush

6:00the storm going side to crypt Arthur's jumpy work all right Fred your bad jump first of east buses there's no respect for persons when he gets started still I mean see this out well because he worked from there he could go inside and take a look on your life he dears for sure much much we've been doing then step forward home again you never know you might be carrying something to give us some idea he's coming out now he'll keep down your compass he's pushing well he's angst where I'm to where is that get us we don't know we could take a look inside now he's gone he's inside oh I don't know if you're

7:00on the wrong mind come on the master can go in there or reckon we can't well no not very easy to get the bottom of this wait out here for me if you like no oh come well no one here no one another and that's it we can be getting bit what's that over there well here well that's funny it's it's bones bones that's a skull oh he's too you've been down here before Fred once or twice you're dead like no I was here some time back when master sent against the sea those gifted one camping out in the place these weren't there then you're sure certain shun maybe it's you don't reckon no no they're all bones these

8:00well beyond the years old where they come from why should anyone drag them out and drag them out what is this beach made for it beach me and beat both of us it did miss our homes you left the bones but they both I'm lying in a corner with a bit old board over them and now miss rooms take a look at this hmm a piece of the bones no sir not them this was a day or two later there's a teaching furnace under lady bitches his room there's been off for some time but the robot started up again and about the cold so it started up again and the other morning when one of the boys was raking out the cinders he found this bone you can see it's been burnt what do you make of this what's it? hmm well it's human alright the upper condolver human female exactly and Mr. Mason could anyone who wanted to visit the furnace? oh sir there's a door from outside and there's another door to stand from a passage where lady bitches had rubies

9:00it was so robot at home on the night before no sir he wasn't he got off the London then whoever was bending bones it was not he that's true sir well these are deep waters indeed deep and rather dirty if you're in the multitellant no sir or he thinks that's about or a few questions then when did the robot give away his sister's dog? just a week ago to date her it was Harry outside the old well-earsen so Robert was in one of his tantrums that day he caught it up I thought you'd have killed it but he gave it to one of the jokies instead to take it to all bars of the green dragon he said he never wanted to see it again thank you now who keeps lady deptest for the company less than time? well as her maid, Carrie she's been with her about two or five years and he's new to October to our mistress well she's devoted enough but I'd rather not say you two well I can't tell she's a lapisorcer I'd gladly understand

10:00from Dr. Watson's description as the robot I can realize that no woman is safe from it don't you think the quarrel between brother and sister may lie there? well the scandal has been pretty clear for a long time yeah but she may not have seen it before however this case there can't be a charred bones of these mysterious visits to the crypt did they go fishing in their thought about her? fishing's her fishing is to me well they were trapped in a mill stream and like in the old lake that's good of them Watson and I are famous fishermen are we not Watson? well in fact in fact you may address us in the future at the green dragon I think you said it was cold just amazing we should reach it tonight I need hardly say that we better not to seem with you down there but the notes will reach us if you want this yes thank you Mr. Barnes my friend and I are very comfortable indeed very comfortable indeed very comfortable the penny, what you think about the whole lake

11:02and the chance of a fight my friend oh oh no oh that wouldn't be a daughter why does that? oh you might chance to find yourself in the lake before you were done? yes I'll be a follow-up well it's a rubber no but a seris terrible genus it does chants for it big party server if you two strangers where as near is Trident Waters is that he'd be after you sure is right he ain't taken no chances to rob a night I think I did hear that he has a false intent for the dog and I'm good cold he isn't all he's carrying all our money and the rubber too oh with the white gentleman they can be pardoned that is I suppose you ain't on the turf yourselves oh no indeed just two very Londoners who've added in some good box of air well you're in the right place for that what David's lying about? but more than what I said about that's Troy Schwartz and the Speaks' Apper

12:02maybe Senator Jones was the boss well thank you gentlemen oh Mr. Barnes I wanted to ask you what breed is that beautiful stand you'll I saw in the passage just now? oyster that's the real shotgun breed that are in a better England than that really I'm quite a dog fancy on myself if it's a fair question what price for the dog like that cost? oh more than oyster bacer it was the rubber himself who gave me this one that's all that's why you saw he was toyed up indeed they all packed it all in a jiffy if I give him his head well now where you'll excuse me gentlemen well Watson make it in some cards in my hands and we may see our way in a day or two well no but only day from London soon possibly I think we might do well to enter the sacred domain tomorrow night in fact it'll reduce the risk of bodily assault with him still the way in the lower two points I should likely assure you everyone here say a real only this

13:02something happened a week or two ago which has kept deep into the life of the shotgun house out what was it? we can only get it from its effects and they seem to be a curiously mixed character but that should surely help us it's only the colourless and the eventful case which is hoped true now as well let us consider our data the brother no longer visits the beloved in village sister he gives away her favorite dog her dog Watson does that suggest nothing to you? nothing with the brother's spite? well it might be so or well there is an alternative but to continue our review of the situation from the time the quarrel began the lady keeps her room all to her habits is not seen safe when she drives life with her maid and refuses to stop at the stable even to read her favorite horse that covers the case does it not? flavour the business in the crypt yes yes the crypt

14:02but let us suppose it's nearly as gambler supposition a hypothesis put forward for argument say but let us suppose that the Robert Norberton has done away with his sister but there are homes it's out of the question that it possibly was and that it possibly he's a man of honorable stock but you do occasionally find a chameleon crow among the eagles let us argue upon this supposition for a moment he's utterly in debt and we had any moment be sold up in his racing stable fees by his creditors that he's a daring and desperate man he derives his income from his sister his sister's maid is his willing tool so far we seem to be entirely safe but he could not fly the country until he had realised his fortune and that fortune could only be realised by bringing off his wind with shustled prints therefore he had disposed of his sister he would still have to stand his wound he would have to get rid of her body in some way with the maid as his confidant that would not be impossible

15:02the body might be conveyed to the crypt which is so seldom visited and it might later be secretly destroyed at night in the furnace, leaving behind such evidence as we have seen what say you do that, Prasad? for sure it's easy to hold possible if you've grown the original supposition but that's monstrous I think there's a small experiment between my triumaller it may thirst some light on the matter in the meantime if we intend to keep up our characters I suggest we call for a glass of wine and pull some high converse upon eagles and dace that's the thing good morning gentlemen good morning good morning Mr. Barnes oh you should have thought you would have been a way to your efficient longer for this well as much fact as Mr. Barnes my friend here for how the fool is they forgot to pack our spoon baits for Jack and as he gather there's nothing to head here about we'll just have to forget about fish if he's only an excuse to get away from London really

16:04we'll be soft mischievous well Prasad you'll think of taking a walk instead some very nice walk in the these parts there's as a matter of fact that's just what we're off to do now I was wondering to my friend whether you might be persuaded to let us take that dog of yours along with us well I don't see why not a dog gentlemen if you could be bothered with him I'd recommend you'll be glad of the exercise sir he's a or you don't seem to get ten minutes to call me on these days it'll be a pleasure I think we need the exercise as much as the dog does this is the face I imagine those are the great firms the entrance to Shostomo place I learned that the only ladies carriage comes through here almost precisely every midday as she starts out to have drive it's not a midday now you having fruit glimpse of her? more than that the carriage has to slow down

17:04while the gates are being opened for you now when it comes through and before I gather speed again I want you to stop the coachman with some question who's who knew? I saw a stand behind this hollow bush and see what I can see and I think I should also accidentally lose my hold of this good dog's lead but quickly what's it I can see the carriage and the driveway now now you know what to do? I'll see you later oh you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you

18:07you you you're too valuable for lose well what's it that's done it so there goes another side one well what did you see they just seem to be two of them in now they're made perhaps in the only they're not yes spot well the dog exactly he recognized his mistress his carriage but found a stranger inside it dogs don't make mistakes but did you notice anything else? well I did think that voice the one that called into drive-off sounded remarkably like a man and be there to one more car to our head but it needs careful playing all the same I think we'll arrange for another one day with the evening while I play Mr. John Mason and what better place than the crypt I can't say very long Mr. Rolnt Robert is expecting back in a minute

19:07very well Mr. Mason but before you go could you show us the bones you spoke of? I hear in this corner you were showing your lunch and not the wasn't was he out of his way? or is it? where is he? they call as I expected I don't understand sir I think the ashes of them might even now be found in that furnace you tell us about boy in the world would anyone want to burn the bones of a man as being dead maybe over here that's what I hear to find out it may mean a long search and we need not detain you I then see if we shall get us a solution before modelling that very good sir and I'll be off if you don't mind I don't want master to foy me Mr. Mason thank you Mr. Mason you will be here for me soon enough now what's the matter? let us have a closer look at some of these two what do you hope to find? I said what do you hope to find? ah what every year a coffin only ten they'll live for a little bit

20:07there's a less time very much mistaken recently tempered we'll just let me get my lens to it ah yes as I thought my son's father was and succeeded I should say I think we shall have to do the same with the assistance of my trusty chemist old to bad homes no just a poor bottle if you please chemist now this this is no ancient corpse homes this is listen someone's coming and who's the devil may you be? what are you doing on my property? I also have a question to ask you sir other than who are you I say? I'll find a Sherlock Holmes possibly it is familiar to you but in any case my business is that of every other good citizen

21:11to uphold the law it seems to me that you have much to unsuppose a Robert for instance whose body is this? and what is it doing here? very well my son everything can be explained I show you everything's alright I'm pleased to hear that appearance is on against me I'll admit but I could act no other wise I should like to think sir come up to the house please and you can judge for yourself how things thank you have gone pretty deeply into my affairs and to homes Dr. Watson well I should not have found you where I did so you know in all probability that I'm running a dark horse for the dummy but everything depends on my success if I win all is easier if I lose well I do not think of that I understand the position I am dependent upon my sister lady Beatrice for everything but if I'm not mistaken her interest in the estate is for her life only

22:13you know that too then well it is so for my own part I deeply in the hands of the money that does I've always known that if my sister would have died my creditors will be on to my estate like a flock of butcher's everything will be seized my tables my horse is everything well Mr. Holmes my sister did die we could go a new girl no one no Dr. Watson at all no one how could I if one word they got out absolute ruin with the descendant of the company within a matter of hours I know these money lenders are their methods only too well if I could only stay things off until the dummy all would be well if your horse wins well if he doesn't she'll indicate surely your bets on the race or expectations from it would go good even if your creditors did see you're a state also be part of my estate and my chief creditor happens to be the same rascal if fellow sangroir my once was compelled to horse whip on new market he does suppose he would try to save me oh Dr. Watson if he got possession of the horse he'd simply

23:17withdrawing from the race my bets will be void and my ruin will be complete Sir Robert what did your sister die? has a doctor certified the betty no surely it is for a colonist to decide not you I catch your meaning Mr. Holmes but I show you many doctor would certified as I've been in no doubt for months now but if it had just too soon for you well what did you do? you want sir? come in sir Mr. Holmes this is my late sister's made carry Mrs. Norris how did you do? and this is her husband Norris these are the two people of the earth who can substantiate what I say they are well as I told you it occurred to me that if I could only stay things off until after the dummy all would be well but obviously the body couldn't remain in the house even though there was no need for anyone to enter her room but the maid so on the first night Norris and I

24:19carried it out to the old well-house I just claim all responsibility as I might expect however responsibility is not yours at all that means you can feel the body in the well-housed yes then there was a complication of when I sister's panel used to follow her everywhere turned up at the well-housed door stood there yapping continuously wouldn't go away so you got rid of it to the end over to the england yes even so I felt that some more secure place was needed for her body Norris and I carried it by night to the crypt there was no indignity or irreverence Mr. Holmes I do not feel I've wronged the dead well I can picture your thoughts perhaps you would have felt differently in my position one cannot see all ones hopes and plans shattered at the last moment and make no effort to save them it seemed to me that if the D-no unworthy resting place if we put up a sometime in one of the coffins of her late husband's ancestors they lie in what is still consecrated round Norris and I

25:21I just claim all right we opened the coffin remove the contents and placed my sister inside as you have seen her as to the old relics they were burnt in the central furthest of night seemed better to leave the blind there for intruders to after that it was but a case of arranging for someone to ride daily in your late sister's carriage wearing her toes and keeping up the appearance that she was still alive and well just so let me see who could that be Mr. Lollet I imagine you just say more responsibility in this as well I'd like to know what you think that will do knowledge your quite right Mr. Holmes he impersonated my sister and wrote each day besides his wife here receiving everyone except the unhappy dog who wondered where his mistress had got to and you it seems it is my dismiss not to be deceived it was my duty to bring the pets to life and there I just leave it as to the morality or decency of your own conduct it is not for me to

26:25express any opinion there you are but I thought I had you grow out a few minutes ago I did burn you seven but our papers were delivered before long and they and I wanted one the ball really what can you be not only excited all afternoon is the now you're looking as smugglers of well-filled cat really be it you see you know what today Christmas Easter since for the I see nothing remarkable about it it's Derby day the Derby was runs after no really is no I should hesitate a boy who was a particular the Derby was won by a horse named Shoscom Prince of which would doctors he carried within the dressing of my month's wound pension that is all

27:27the name is familiar my dear Watson do come and give me the benefit of your opinion upon this specimen really if it were not for the microscope I do not believe we should achieve half the results we managed to that was Shoscom old place a Sherlock home story adapted from South Africa and oil by Michael Hardwick with Carlton Hobbes as Holmes Norman Shelley as Dr Watson Frederick Cree as John Mason and got Rick Emson as Sir Robert Norbert production by Frederick Bradnam for the BDC
