[Music]

the case for the crown members of the

jury is that the prisoner Harriet Bain

murdered her former lover Philip boy

with

aric he undoubtedly did take arsic the

few are satisfied that he died of it and

she administered it with that

intent then it is your duty to find her

guilty of

back paper

paper we s thing to face retro they fix

for new

[Music]

hearing oh don't talk whil I work I'm

afraid imagin can only sit for me me in

the evening she's a civil servant you

see a civil servant by day and cesi By

Night CES the

[Music]

enchantress Peter wants to know about

Harriet Vain and and Philip boy why does

he Iman who you headit up because he's

trying to

help Harriet is a very sweet and

vulnerable

creature and what she saw in that

self-centered individual none of us

could understand um after his death did

you see much of her well by then she'd

moved out and gone to Dy Street of

course but she used to pop back and see

us how was she after he died well she

was upset of course in my opinion she

was thankful to be rid of him no wonder

selfish brute he made use of her nagged

her to death for a year and finally

insulted her dearest she was glad s

what's the use of denying it yes perhaps

it was a relief to know it was all

finished with but she hadd no idea that

he'd been murdered if it was murder

which I don't believe sugar uh no thanks

I thought all men like to make their

coffee into syrup but I'm rather unusual

haven't you

noticed I've not had time to observe you

but I'll take the coffee as a point in

your

favor Philip boy was always determined

to be a victim it was very irritating of

him to succeed in the end poison himself

out of vanity people do do that sort of

thing of course but J are much more

inclined to believe in something more

tangible and praic like money not that I

can find any in this case they never was

much money except what harri made his

books never sold you know some people

thought him rather good only the odious

Ryland vau you is awfully severe about

men you know Vaughn's going around

saying Harriet killed Philip boys

because she was jealous of his genius

and could only write trip herself you're

here syvia you're all together too nice

about everybody the truth is Philip boy

presented her success he reckon she

ought to be ministering to his work not

making money for them both with their

own independent trash but that's men all

over you don't have much opinion of us

do

you have a biscuit no thanks not really

a sweet tooth the thing is the retrial

comes up in just less than 30 days oh

the poor thing and one can't depend on

the jury disagreeing for a second time

well what's to be

done well I'm trying to find out as much

as I can about harri recent life I um I

do have one line of inquiry that might

prove fruitful but it doesn't count to

anything I I'm afraid I'm rather up

against it Blackman my

for yes he's here I'll tell

him it's for you Lord Peter it's your

manservant you wanted at Scotland Yard

thank you so much I must

fly come in

Charles what have you found uh look

Peter I don't want you to become too

optimistic damn it man you get bed to

track me halfway across London you must

have found something Philip boys the

missing 10 minutes ah we found the pub

and it seems that there was a man there

who fits a description a man who answers

the description of boys what's more

feeling ill and producing a packet of

white powder the Arsenic could have been

arsenic wonderful excellent news I knew

you'd react like this why not my own

because I am convinced that this

suicide Theory you have about boys is

rubbish rubbish your vision's clouded

because of her Harriet

vain Peter can you tell me in all

honesty that you're not allowing your

your judgment to be affected by your

emotions yes I

can

Peter good evening sir Lord Peter Whimsy

please my card I'm afraid his lordship

is out at the moment but uh if you would

get wait I would his lordship will not

Bel

long may I offer you a glass of Sherry

sir all

[Music]

right we had investigated this Pub of

course but as luck would have it the

barid who served him was away on her

honeymoon when we made the inquiry so uh

the connection with the boys was never

made was she the only one there and the

Publican what about him he was also away

on the

honeymoon oh no sir this is on me not

another word it's my pleasure now where

was I oh yes I remember the gentleman

comes in almost Falls in you could say

and calls out give me a double Brandy

quick I didn't like to serve him all at

once I mean he looks so white and queer

I thought we'd had one or two over the

eight and the boss my hubby now is most

particular about serving drugs still he

spoke all right you know quite clear not

repeating himself nor nothing and his

eyes well although they did look a bit

funny they weren fixed if you

understand pe's to you too gentlemen

I could see that he weren't drunk so I

mixed him a DB of Brandy with a splash

of soda just like yourself sir down it

goes and that's better he says and then

Mrs and then well he he slumps down in

that seat over there sir look I'll show

you just

here like this

oh then after a while he asked me for a

glass of water

water water oh sorry if I frightened you

he said but I've just had a bad shock

and any shock or worry always affects my

stomach however he says perhaps this

will stop him and he takes out a white

paper packet with some

powdering drops it into the water stirs

it up with his fountain pen then he

drinks it did it Fizz or anything no

just plain powder took a while to mix up

though before he drank it

then after we drank it he said that

settles it that settles it but those his

exact

work well that sells it or that'll

settle it something of that sort can't

be absolutely

exact well then he raises his hat oh

quite the gentleman and off he goes did

you see exactly how much shap was put

into the glass oh a good

dollop he didn't measure it but well

most of the packet I'd say about about a

dessert Spoonful and we do know what you

did with the packet Mrs bage well

inspector I swear I tued it behind the

spirits here but you know it was 6

months

ago well it ain't there

now there's Mr vaugh waiting to see you

Lord thank you

B ah I'm sorry to have kept you Mr vaugh

how can I help you I think it's I who

can help you sir really I bear obliged

to

AA Philip boy I was his only real

friend all the rest only cared to pick

his

brains parrots all a bloody lot of

them I've read his books I found them um

interesting interesting

eh let me tell you he was a good deal

more than interesting he had real talent

his damn thieves of Publishers took

every blasted coin they could lay their

hands on forgive me but I don't quite

see how this is supposed to help

me Harriet vain don't waste your time it

was that [ __ ] of a woman that poisoned

him

Mr Bourne is

leaving thank you for your

help thank you

[Music]

sir damn everything

care for more coffee my

Lord the emotions bunter terrible thing

I believe they are my Lord you're being

flippant banter and I'm not in a

flippant

mood just over two weeks to go Miss vain

my Lord Miss vain exactly

so your lordship has been involved in

more hopeless cases and triumphed

you're absolutely

right I've been wallowing and the only C

is action much better thinking my

Lord Philip boy's cousin Ard the account

of that

meal such

detail

fter I want you to play the danpan done

Juan my Lord yes indeed you cut an

impressive figure if I may say sir you

have a bold and Roven eye off

duty a ready

wit and I'm persuaded that you have a

way with you what more could any cook or

parlade want ah the ladies in Mr E

service I want you to deliver this to Mr

uret of wban square and in the short

space of time at your disposal to

insinuate yourself into the

bosom of Mr herk's household

and pump the ladies about the said

UT I shall Endeavor to insinuate myself

to your lordship's

satisfaction I seen poor Mr boys and

they sent for me to bring up the hot

bottles three they had one to his feet

one to his back the big rubber one to

his stomach horrible white he was greeny

look to me

cook well let's say green is yellow I

thought it was a jice are coming on more

like them attacks you had in the spring

and you never saw such cramps regular

feature of these arsenical cases very

distressing

symptoms had he uh ever had anything of

the sort before I know what you call

cramps when he was Ill in the spring he

complained of fidgets in his hands and

feet something like pins and needles he

said Dreadful Wicked Woman this Harriet

vain must

be now do have Crump it Mr banter but's

melted nicely through we have a little

drop more gates The Damp I'm

sure after you ladies

oh now a Bashan on the head or the ace

use of a carving knife when roused I can

understand but the horrors of slow

poisoning it's it's the work of a

fiend fiend is the only word Mrs pettan

when Mr urut told us about them digging

up of Mr Boy and finding him full of

nasty arnic gave me such a turn on a

house but of course you had no

difficulty in proving that the noxious

substance had not been given to him in

this house no Mr put me through it so

carefully about the questions I'd be

asked yes the very next morning after Mr

boy was took ill the master came down to

us and he says sitting in that chair was

a friendly just as you would be yourself

Mr banter I'm a afraid Mr boy is very

early says so I want you and cook to run

through everything we had for dinner

last night to see if we can think what

he could have been I don't see that Mr

boy could have had anything un awesome

ear asses cuz cook of me had just the

same and all the sweets could be except

for The Omelette of course oh except for

The Omelette they finished set off

between him and I remember asking cook

if they were the last four eggs in the

house cuz one was

cracked pretty far seeing a Mr urut to

take such

precautions when there was no thought at

the time but that the poor man had died

natural many is the case's lordship seen

when an innocent man was brought near to

The Gallows for lack of such precautions

and when I think of how near Mr UT was

to being away from home at the time oh

yes cook well it fair gave me

palpitations i' called away he was to

that tarome old woman saw is a dying

Never Dies or is there now Mrs Rayburn

up in Windle

[Music]

rich as sneezes she is by all accounts

but so they

say and a wicked old woman she was too

in her day other relations wouldn't have

nothing to do with her only Mr

urut and I don't suppose he wouldn't

neither but he's a solicitor and it's

his duty so to do Duty does not always

lie in Pleasant places as you and I well

know Mrs pyan I pass no comments but you

and me Mr banter know how the world

goes I suppose Mr uret stands to gain

something when the old woman does Peg

out that's as maybe stands to reason

didn't he I mean he wouldn't be always

giving up his time and tearing off to

West Morland for nothing and the

deceased Mr boys did he know all about

the old girl oh yes it's All in the

Family you see no doubt Mr would have

told him more than he'd say to

us so that's Crona garden now the very

ancient Mrs Rayburn sick Transit Gloria

Mundy where on Earth did you to get up

oh there's a small establishment off St

Martin's Lane my Lord dealing with

ephemera and that sort of thing they've

got boxes and boxes of maty Idols

theatrical luminaries Lily lry the

Divine Sarah

lello I must say I was rather fortunate

to find Cron

Garden you really are a Marvel bter I

was curious about the Lady M Lord

because of her connection with Mr kkut

and the deceased Mr

boy according to Mrs pettan she's a very

wealthy lady indeed and as you've so

often said my Lord where there's money

there's a motive for crime

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

you obviously insinuated yourself rather

well into the Ed household apparently

Queen Victoria would never allow Crona

Garden to perform before the royal

family as she knew too much about her as

Mrs pan phrased it goings on ah yes my

Lord there are families that hold their

heads high that wouldn't have existed

but for some king or rather dignitary

taking his Amusement on the wrong side

of the blanket I say bter you casting

doubt on my

lineage would I presume my Lord but uh

all jesting apart I think your visit to

Mr recet might prove

profitable I hope you're

right my dear Lord Peter I'm only too

delighted to help you in any way I can

naturally I was rather taken aback by

the result of the autopsy naturally but

I must admit rather relieved to find

that no suspicions were likely to be

thrown on me but you seem to have taken

the most admirable precautions at the

time well you know I suppose we lawyers

get into a habit of taking precautions

not that I had any idea of poison

naturally well doesn't jump to the idea

that people have been murdered all the

time though I dare say it happens more

often than we're apt to suppose yes it

probably does and I suppose if I ever

handled criminal cases the suspicion

might have occurred but but my work is

almost intirely conveyancing and probate

and divorce and so forth oh do forgive

me this is a silly little weakness of

mine Turkish delight would you would you

care for not really a sweet tooth

talking of prate did Philip boys have

any um Financial expectations none that

I know of and certainly not from his

father father who was by no means well

off I have an idea there was a rich a

somewhere oh no oh well unless you're

talking of ulam War Garden her her great

aunt of his on his mother's side but she

hadn't had anything to do with him in a

great many years isn't that Mrs Rayburn

of windling my yes I was up there

yesterday as a matter of fact oh she's

over 904 so it's quite amazing the

amount of Vitality in some of these

ancient ladies now I suppose you're her

only living Rel

yes I'm also her man of business too so

it's just as well that I should be on

the spot if anything should happen

naturally and being her man of business

you'll know how she's left her money but

I don't see what that has to do with the

present problem no well uh Philip boy

might have got himself into some sort of

financial mess up and uh taken the easy

way out no you're making out a case for

suicide but of course we could forget

that idea if he'd had Financial

expectations from an elderly relative

whom you follow m indeed I do no no she

left nothing to Philip and as far as I

know he hadn't the smallest reason to

believe that she had in fact he asked me

if there was any possibility he asked

yes indeed he did and I felt obliged to

tell him uh how long ago would this

be 18 months

ago and uh now that Mrs Raburn is uh

shall we say uh childish childish

certainly he obviously wouldn't expect

that she would ever change her will uh

look Lord Peter I know that this is

unethical but as we've gone so far I

think it well it it would simplify

things enormously if I would ass show

you the old lady's will it was made 10

years ago but I do keep a copy on fire

if you would excuse

me ah Miss meron would you please get me

the deed box labeled rurn Mr Pond will

show it to

you this is most obliging I know I'm

being the most yes but it is most

irregular of course but I always feel

that too much discretion can be as bad

as too little and I would like you to

see why I was forced to take up an

uncompromising attitude towards my

cousin Miss

mer thank you miss

m oh I'm sorry no I it's in my safe at

home I took it out for reference a few

weeks ago and I completely forgot got to

bring it back I no matter perhaps if I

were to call at your house tomorrow I

could see it then well by all means in

fact join me for breakfast I would be so

glad of the

company oh it's Lord Peter whsy the

master said to expect him for

[Music]

breakfast can I get you anything sir no

thanks I've had my morning NSE

bag uh there's a copy of the will Lord

Peter do cast an eye over it when I

finish my breakfast

very good of you oh only too pleased to

help you all I can in this most

unpleasant business I note that you are

the soul beneficiary yes and you will

see why when you read

on and I make this disposition of my

property in token of gratitude for the

consideration shown to me by my said

great nephew Norman uret and his father

the late Charles Z throughout their

lives and to ensure that no part of the

property shall come into the hands of my

great nephew Philip boy or his

descendants that's pretty forthright I'm

afraid it is the old lady just refused

to listen to

reason and to this end and to mark my

sense of the inhuman treatment Meed out

to me by the family of the said Philip

boys I enjoin upon the said Norman Ur as

my dying wish that he neither gives

lends nor conveys to the said Philip boy

any part of the income derived from the

said property enjoyed by him the said

Norman Ur during his lifetime nor

employs the same to assist the said

Philip Boys in anim man what

whatsoever that's uh pretty clear and

pretty vindictive I can remember that

you looked at it pretty sharply to see

that I got the wording Fierce enough

before she put her name to it must have

depressed Philip boy's no end I

understood you to say that you'd

indicated the contents no I did and he

was most

despondent thank you I'm glad I've seen

that it makes the suicide Theory more

probable but if I can assist you in any

way further Lord Peter you only have to

ask I most FL

ey thank

[Music]

you 2 weeks 14

[Music]

days you have a

[Music]

visitor can't help being the gentleman

can you great not drilled into one when

too young to

resist how are you the governor's

allowed me the use of a typewriter so

I'm going ahead with that story we

talked about that's good

isn't it keeps the mind all of things

hardly if you remember the

plot but yes it does help

concentrating I want you to know that I

haven't been Idol and that certain

interesting things are coming to light

that point to

Suicide I've been to see boy's cousin

urut he's quite a smooth character you

know um he's been Cooperative Peter

let's not talk about

it no no

are you still going to marry me of

course why what's so fascinating about

me

Peter Well is a a dark side to you

something about a murderous that draws

you excites you it can't be that can it

because I know you're not a

murderers well what is it

then you are bearing in mind aren't you

that I've had a lover oh yes so have I

several in fact it's uh the sort of

thing that could happen to

anyone I can uh produce quite good

testimonials I'm told I make love rather

nicely though I am at a bit of a

disadvantage at the moment one can't be

too convinced in the other end of a

table with the bloke looking through the

window I'll take your word for it of

course I won't always be at this

disadvantage but I might be at an even

greater

one don't be so damn discouraging

anybody would think who had no

confidence in me Peter people have been

wrongly condemned before now only

because I was wasn't that oh I never

thought of

that have you dealt with the Mortimer

letter yet M

merchon almost finished Mr

Pond must see that he catches the last

post most important yes Mr

Pond I'm off now Mr Pond one moment

excuse me Mr Ur M meres do you have that

letter for Mr Ur to sign oh yes of

course

oh yes good uh remind me to deal with

the carpenter file first thing in the

morning I have made a note of it Mr good

good night Mr good

night good night Mr

UT Mr UT seems Pleasant enough a point

of Interest may be to investigate his

financial

activities find out if Mr Ard had had

any dealings with the mearian trust

before their big crash get Mr arath on

the phone for me very good M as you know

I've done a good bit in stock Brokers

offices one way and another and there

was a particular call for him which I

wasn't meant to hear it wouldn't have

told the ordinary person much but it did

me because I knew something about the

man at the other end Miss Meson you are

a

brick morning Mr Freddy Lord Peter for

you

you

thanks

Freddy are we seeing you down at Duke

stver the

weekend good look could you get your

city charms to do a bit of financial

sleuthing for me share dealings in the

megatherium trust by Norman

Ur yes see you

[Music]

Saturday that's very

interesting very interesting

[Music]

indeed a good idea what did you throw

that man to the pond well that's they

think we've been playing C under

water you really are annoyed iose come

on I've had my I've lost my slippers

glass well you'll just have to drink

Adam M's last slipper 15 CW Adam Mandy's

slipper oh klipper your

slipper

tony'll never again with

Tony never

ask Tango your Fango I'll dance your

Tango Wango

[Music]

Tess got to

right yes I've really been sloting like

stink on the tracks of your

man anything transpired as the

journalist say h AF 's been very careful

though well bound to be respectable

family lawyer and all that but ah I saw

a man yesterday who knows a fellow had

it from a chap here that said KET have

been jumping a bit recklessly off the

deep

end are you sure of this Freddy well not

absolutely sure but this man you see

owes me one so to

speak they having warned him off the

megatherium before the band began to

play and he thinks if he can get hold of

this chappie he knows well not the

fellow that told him you understand but

the other one that he might be able to

get something out of it especially if I

could put this other cha in the way of

something or other

what slight Miss

q and no doubt Freddy you have secrets

to sell D say I could make it worth this

other chap is while because I have an

idea through this other fellow that my

bloke knows that the uh chap is rather

up against it I'd um no idea you spoke

why so well old

trap lucky one old Bean

[Music]

that

was you really do play with great feel

sounds better on the Hops oford

actually but I haven't quite got room

for one

here uh by the way did you make the

inquiry about the typewriter yes it was

bought new 3 years ago only three

years Ah that's good by the way you were

probably quite right about 's connection

with the mearan trust you are highly

commended Miss Merson thank you now uh

here's the letter you sent me now you

noticed of course the capital A is

slightly out of alignment and the P

chipped yes well Ur showed me what he

claimed was the carbon copy of a will

made 10 years ago by Mrs Raven typed on

the Jolly same machine but that's

impossible now I didn't ask to see it um

he volunteered it I go to see him on

Tuesday he pretends to look for the copy

of Mrs Raven's will remembers he's got

it at home I go and see him the next day

and he shows it to me but especially

overnight to deceive you very very

possibly conclusion if there is a will

it's obviously not along the lines of

the one he showed me yes it does rather

look like that so what do I want of you

miss

merchon actually I'm going to ask you to

do something

unlawful what am I to

do steal the deed box what a truly

Splendid creature you are Miss

merchon I want you to open the box look

for the original will and commit

anything important in it to memory I

particularly want to know if anything

was left to Philip boy but all the deed

boxes are kept locked and only Mr ORD

has the keys yes I thought of

that I don't suppose you have the

faintest idea how to pick a lock Miss

Mages I'm afraid not no idea whatsoever

I sometimes wonder what we went to

school for

s of the

Jerusalem the blood of the

Lamb sweeping through the gates of the

destruction

part Peter I really am most

grateful or was it your

service I just wish what do you just

wish

I wish I weren't so jealous of Philip

boys I oughtn't to be but I am and you

always will be oh no if you mad at me I

shouldn't be jealous because then I

should know that you really liked me you

think you wouldn't be but you would

should I or surely

not it's just the same as if I married a

widow at all second husbands jealous I

don't know but it isn't quite the same

thing is it you would never really trust

me we should be

wretched perhaps it would help if you

were jealous of me I wish you would be

then it would prove that you took an

interest in me perhaps I should tell you

about Barbara who's Barbara oh a g I

know rather a lot really you see when

she had married the other fellow I took

up sluth in as a cure she really bu me

over I even took a special course in

Logic for her sake good Lord yes to have

the pleasure of repeating Barbara

that was expressive of passion men is

the Moonlight night I have murmured it

to The Nightingales that haunt The

Garden of St John's though I'm a BAL man

anybody does marry you Peter it'll be

now you say there is a will but it isn't

in the Box how do you know there is one

then there were several documents not I

think of much interest to you Lord Peter

but a letter did seem interesting and I

made a note of it it was from Mrs

rabburn to Mr arut and dated May the

15th

1920 in it she refers to her will which

she has just made the letter doesn't

indicate what's in the will no l Peter

but and this seems significant it

mentions a deed of trust she proposed to

make in Mr UT's favor that is

significant do you have its turns yes

Mrs ran said in her

letter so I have determined to put my

property in trust with you for my

lifetime so that you may have full power

to handle everything according to your

own discretion without having to consult

me every

time so although she can leave her

estate to somebody else after her death

uret has the control of it during her

life you have done famously Miss meres

have another glass of Sherry oh thank

you Lord Peter but I must deliver this

to Hansen's tonight are you quite sure

oh positively so you have been most

resourceful Miss Meson and I am in your

debt oh um I'll answer that good night

and thank you thank you Lord

Peter

Whimsy important news Peter though I

don't think you'll find it altogether

good the public at the nine rings has

found the packet it slipped down behind

some

pipes yes we've analyzed it traces of by

carbonate of

soda yes puts paid to the suicide Theory

I'm afraid and that's no help to Harriet

vain

now no help at all
