turn for the worse and he wants

desperately to see his brother before it

the effect of the nutmeg to not make

when he was at Harrow he lived on Little

Else where your gloves are gloves I do

know I have for some time been compiling

exhaustive notes on the peculiarities of

spices and herbs in common use and I

have discovered that it can be

authoritatively proved that the

excessive Indulgence in nutmegs leads to

hallucination and general debilitation

but pepper on the other hand in any form

of variety passes through the human body

without any effect on the organs it is

absolutely no value nutritive or

otherwise but in the case of cinnamon or

your company would be payment enough sir

oh well thank

you

hey well I wonder if you realize how

many times the word whip occurs in the

Old Testament 174 times oh I see you're

impressed but but that figure is

infinitism when you consider that the

Bible contains

77417 words Al together and it is a

remarkable

fact duon will be here all night at this

rate but a pend KN is not the Ideal tool

Is It Anyway I don't think we ought to

be doing this I don't want to go to

prison don't stop up sniveling in that

revolting way if you can't dig a hoe for

him cover him in leaves or something

cover him why do I always have to do the

dirty work because you are remarkably

stupid yes I forgot that sorry any case

I have to look after my hands petal soft

done with this uh let's get a an

Undertaker he won't be too expensive and

he'll do professional job we are not

burying him we're not we are merely

hiding him we're merely hiding him now

what we need is a venal doctor but Uncle

Joseph's dead it's too late not for him

for us now you remember that chambermaid

you got into um thing thing who was the

Doctor Who did the um thing uh Pratt Dr

Pratt was he venal I I didn't like to

ask well did he do the thing yes good

but what's he got to do with it is part

of the plan now you and I are the only

two people in the world who know that

Uncle Joseph is um thing dead and we

won't tell anyone but people are bound

to find out sooner or later not quite

yet now uncle masterman at best has only

two or 3 Days to Live when he goes I'll

announce that Uncle Joseph has died of a

heart attack on hearing the tragic news

of his brother's death I then go along

to your accommodating doct um Pratt

thing he provides me with a blank death

certificate for Uncle Joseph I fill in

the date and the tontine is mine ours

we'll go into that

later there come moments in life cousin

when every man must find moral courage

your moment is about to come it is it is

I'll go to London tell everybody that

you and Uncle Joseph have been delayed

you go back to Bourn and remain there

till I send for you I see but um

what about him I'm coming to that you

must find a suitable box or container

crate him up and send him back to London

we shall after all need him at the

funeral create him in a box what sort of

box something of suitable size and

robustness for a man in that

condition if you love me

sir I will take charge of the rest of

the

packaging all right peacock

but uh don't lean too far in the

barrel I say wece the telegraph it must

be from Uncle oh

Dr No it's from Lady Pitman she's

sending back that statue we sent her

says it's a

fraud I am having it created and sent

back to you at

once was it a fraud

peacock life is a fraud Master maker yes

peacock well this is all right isn't it

this should fetch a good price at sou

past will it if it arrives in one

p well there's nothing else to sell

except the

piano but it's all right peacock I'll

answer

Michael Finsbury do I presume yes I'm

your cousin Morris Finsbury oh do come

alas no my dear Uncle like your beloved

grandfather is of advancing years and

declining Health grandfather will be

disappointed may I take your coat uh no

thank you no thank you Uncle Joseph is

naturally deeply concerned with his

brother's death I mean illness or is he

already oh no no no not yet what a

relief to us all I know you are a

medical student cousin so I need hardly

remind you that blood is thicker than

water yes five times as I believe Uncle

Joseph is valiantly gathering what

remains of his strength in order to come

to London in the next day or two to be

with his dear brother at the end well I

do hope he will be in time uncle

masterman is that

low yes oh I am filled with an immense

grief that that proud and lovely man

should oh my

God

sir sir it's me Morris oh look at that

Noble face ravaged by time those eyes

filled with pain oh I should never have

forgiven myself if I hadn't seen you

before cousin but you shouldn't be out

of bed cousin this is our Butler no need

to call him I can assist my own FL

blood who's the

butler I have that honor sir how dare

you embrace me grandfather is upstairs

sleeping all right peacock you may

go thank you master

Michael thank you too

Colonel um I too must be on my way

business you will let us know the moment

Uncle Joseph arrives as soon as I've got

the date that is immediately a great

pity dear cousin that grief is the agent

responsible for bringing us together

after all these

[Music]

years

cousin Morris had no trousers on peacock

if you say so

[Music]

sir For Heaven's Sake Julia oh it's you

moris I thought it was the Bournemouth

Strangler it says in the papers he might

be in London do I look like the

Bournemouth Strangler well yes you could

be

Morris why are you wearing that strange

coat because it suits me to wear it I

think you should have it

shortened isn't Uncle Joseph with you uh

no um the news contained in the

telegraph came as a great shock to him

he is remaining in Bournemouth with

cousin John and now I must bid you good

night good night cousin you won't always

wear that coat will you it's very

frightening it could easily have been

the bornwood Strangler instead of you I

might have been stalked by him and in

fleeing being trampled by a runaway

horse perhaps a a large tole in my head

my brain spilling out all over shaft spr

Avenue oh wouldn't that have been a

homecoming for you going to the Mory to

identify my poor crushed

body

body what body no body moris I I was

just thinking aloud you mustn't use that

word it isn't becoming oh I meant a dead

body

moris not what is under a person's

clothing

Julia now

why did I say

[Music]

that see that it gets on the first

available

train

I I with your pan it's rather

heavy there have of course been many

many editions of the Bible some famous

some Infamous for instance there is the

wicked Bible so-called because the word

not is omitted from the seventh

commandment making it read Thou shalt

commit adultery a small error which

could encourage certain sections of the

populace to a frenzy of immorality

unknown since first century Rome

speaking of which have you heard that

the emperor Helio gabas I'm afraid sir

this is as far as I go what oh Splendid

excellent excellent many many thanks 13

hours seemed but so many minutes well

fellow traveler was none other than

Joseph Finsbury scholar extra ordinary

lecturer and one of the two Englishmen

living who can speak pure

Swahili
