Chapter 2: What new Game of Thrones series is mentioned?
Petri Wine brings you Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The Petri family, the family that took time to bring you good wine, invites you to listen to Dr. Watson tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, that master detective, Schlock Holmes. And as for me, well, I'd like to tell you about a wine that's just wonderful before dinner.
And that wine is Petri California Sherry. You know about Sherry, of course, but do you know about Petri Sherry? That Petri Sherry is the kind of wine you can really talk about. It has the look of quality, a rich, dark amber color. And it has the aroma, the bouquet as the experts call it, of wonderful sun-ripened grapes. And flavor?
Well, if you want your wine to taste good, Petri Sherry is the one you want. It's really delicious. Oh, and incidentally, if you like your sherry on the dry side, you know, not sweet, Petri makes a pale dry sherry that's out of this world. Take home a bottle of Petri Sherry. Serve it by itself or with hors d'oeuvres or cocktail sandwiches.
but serve it proudly because the name Petri is the proudest name in the history of American wines. And now for our weekly visit with the good Dr. Watson. I'm sure he's expecting us.
Come in, come in, come in. Ah, there you are, Mr. Bartell.
Good evening, Doctor. Oh, no, no, don't get up. You look much too comfortable.
Take off your overcoat and come and join me.
Well, I enjoyed your story of a scandal in Bohemia last week, Doctor, and tonight you promised us a sequel.
Yes, that's right, Mr. Bartell. A sequel that took place over 20 years afterwards. In 1909, to be exact. Sherlock Holmes was living on his Sussex bee farm. It was only in June, I remember, that I received a telegram from the great man asking me to come and spend a long weekend with him.

Chapter 3: Who are the main characters in this Sherlock Holmes episode?
None, Mr. Bartell, none at all. I hadn't seen Holmes for some time, and this fact, combined with my rather indifferent health, found me on the Eastbourne train a few hours after receiving the telegram. A dog cart was at the station to meet me, and after a brisk drive across the Downs, I found myself once more with my good friend.
He looked somewhat older than when I'd last seen him, but as he spoke to me, I realized from the keenness of his voice and the sparkle in his eye that Sherlock Holmes would never really be old. After a while, our conversation lapsed into the comfortable silence that he kept on me exists only between friends.
And then, as the sun was setting, Holmes picked up his beloved violin and began to play some haunting melody. As he lay back, eyes half closed, his long, thin fingers caressing the instrument, a wave of nostalgia swept over me. I thought of the many years that we'd spent together and the exciting adventures that we had shared during the old days in Baker Street. Beautiful. Quite beautiful.
Thank you, Watson. You look uncommonly wistful, dear chap. You thinking of the old days? Yes, Holmes. I was. So was I. Uh-huh. Oh, well. Those were exciting times, but it's comforting to think that now we will not be disturbed by a dangling doorbell followed shortly by some poor devil in trouble.
Nowadays, my greatest excitements are connected with the segregation of the Queen Bee and the nighttime proclivities of Charles Augustus, my tomcat. I still find it hard to think of you in retirement, Holmes. Do you ever consider returning to active practice? Oh, I consider it occasionally and then reject the idea. You should work only up to the peak of his ability. I'm past mine.
Nonsense, Holmes. You're just as alert as ever you were. Mentally, perhaps, but not physically. Would you consider handling a small problem in England? With a personal problem that affects you, my dear chap, you know I'll do anything I can. Well, it's not exactly my problem, Holmes, but there was a charming... Young girl on the train. We got into conversation. You don't age at any rate, old chap.
You're just as susceptible as ever. No, no, no, no, Holmes. Let me finish. She said that you knew her mother quite well. Her mother? Come in. Oh, yes, deepest, what is it? I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Holmes. Your man said I might come in. My master, Mr. Little Stanley, instructed me to deliver this note. Oh, thank you. He also instructed me to wait for a reply. What confounded impudence.
You take, Master, that there's no answer to this letter. But he told me I must get a reply. You may tell Mr. Lytton Stanley that I will instruct my solicitors to reply to his message in due course. But, sir... That's all, Devers. You may go. Very good, sir. What did the note say, Holmes? Read it for yourself. Keep your filthy bees where they belong. One of my guests was stung yesterday.
If this happens again, I'll have the police run you out of this place. Good Lord, what an offensive letter. The man himself is even more offensive. He's a retired manufacturer who thinks that his immense wealth entitles him to domineer over the local residents. Oh, but let's not spoil a nice sunny afternoon by discussing him.

Chapter 4: What nostalgic memories does Dr. Watson share with Holmes?
She herself was much more clever than I. In fact, yes. Did she ever tell you about the circumstances under which we met?
No, Mr. Holmes, though she did tell me that you were a witness when she and my father were married.
Very true, my dear, very true. Though the occasion was a little, well, shall we say unusual? Look here. This golden sovereign I wear on my watch chain is a memento of that day. I also have a charming photograph of your mother.
You must have known her quite well.
How about telling Mr. Holmes about your troubles, my lord? Reminiscences are charming, but they can wait until we've dealt with your problems.
Mr. Holmes, I'm being blackmailed.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear it. By whom?
By a neighbor of yours, Mr. Lytton Stanley. Do you know him?
Oh, yes. Yes, indeed I do. As a matter of fact, Mr. Holmes received a most offensive note from the gentleman less than an hour ago. What hold does Mr. Stanley have over you, my dear?

Chapter 5: What problem does Miss Norton present to Holmes?
I'm in serious trouble. Oh, indeed, sir. Why don't you sit down? This is my friend, Dr. Watson. How do you do? And now, sir, what is your trouble? I've been robbed, Holmes. Robbed? What for stolen? Well, my greatest treasure. The Kipmanjar emerald was removed from his case and then mysteriously returned loose in my desk afterwards. But there's a priceless Cellini missing.
Have you, uh... Have you any idea who the Burghers might be? Mort was a gang, I'm sure of that. A couple disguised as a clergyman and a doctor came into the house on the pretext of raising money for some hospital. And they overpowered me with chloroform. Oh, dear me, dear me. How very unpleasant for you. Yes, well, when I came to, I found my butler lying beside me in a pool of blood.
The brave fellow had wrestled with the thieves, but they got away. And he's in the hospital now. Holmes, you've got to help me. The Kittman jar emerald was returned, you say, but a cellini is missing. Yes. It's an exquisite filigree box in which I kept the emerald. A filigree box? Yes, it's a genuine Cellini. It's worth several thousand pounds. Holmes, you must help me solve this business.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lytton Stanley, but I'm afraid I can't help you. I've retired. Yes, and I intend to remain in retirement. Good night, sir. Oh, but I will pay you any fee within reason. My decision is final, sir. Good night. Oh, I might have known I wouldn't get any help from you. Holmes, she fooled you again. Yes, the little devil. She knew that box was a Cellini all the time.
You don't seem very angry with her, Holmes.
I should be, but I'm not. What splendid audacity. What a superb nerve the child has. But you must get the box back from her. I shall, Watson. I shall. Or rather, I should persuade Devers to do it for me. There's the price of our silence. But how can he get it back? Remember that he walks out with Miss Norton's maid.
I'm certain that when he explains his predicament, he can prevail upon her to steal the box from her mistress so that it may be returned to its rightful owner. That's a good idea. Hey, George Holmes, Miss Norton's a chip off the old block, all right? Yes, Watson, she is, and it makes me wonder. What about? I wonder, my dear chap, how long I can remain in retirement.
Such a worthy antagonist at large, it's a challenge. It's an irresistible challenge.
You know, Dr. Watson, I just can't get over the way you and Mr. Holmes let that girl, Irene, was that her name, pull the wool over your eyes. Boy, she really twisted you around her little finger.
