Dr. Watson

This is ABC, the American Broadcasting Company.

Cremel Hair Tonic and Cremel Shampoo present the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

Starring Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson and Tom Conway as Sherlock Holmes.

Well, once again, it's time to keep that weekly appointment with our good friend and host, Dr. Watson.

Good evening, Mr. Bell.

Draw up your chair and settle down.

Thank you.

That's it.

All ready with tonight's new Sherlock Holmes adventure, Dr. Watson?

Yes, Bill.

And as I was going over my notes on the case, I came across this.

I think it might interest you.

What is it?

It looks like an ordinary piece of clay.

It is clay, but I assure you it's very far from ordinary.

This piece of dried earth enabled Sherlock Holmes to solve one of the most diabolical murders that we ever encountered.

I call the case the singular affair of the babbling butler.

I can hardly wait to hear the story.

I'm sure that you'll wait long enough to have a word with our listeners now, won't you, Mr. Bell?

Yes, Dr. Watson, but it won't take me a moment.
