00:00I want to make a difference for you. I'm warden of this place. It'll count.
00:10I love you.
00:15Come to me after Christmas.
00:30Come back.
00:32Come back.
00:34Come back.
00:37Come back.
00:39There you go.
00:46Goodbye.
00:56The post, Miss Cushing.
01:00Shall I put the parcels under the tree?
01:02Yes, please.
01:11Nothing from Mrs. Browner yet?
01:13Nothing as yet, no.
01:16Did Sugden's include the Madeira in their delivery today?
01:19Yes, Miss Cushing. Everything's ready for this evening.
01:29Thank you very much, and the very same to you.
01:36Miss Cushing. I say Miss Cushing.
01:42Mr. Bradbrook.
01:43I dare say your sister Sarah will be joining us.
01:57I'm afraid not, Mr. Bradbrook.
02:00She's warden of the Mission Hostel now.
02:03Her duties to her residence will keep her there.
02:06I shall see her only on Sundays now, I fear.
02:09I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Bradbrook.
02:14Oh, no, no, no, you haven't. Not at all.
02:17Come now, Mr. Bradbrook.
02:19It's Christmas Eve.
02:21To make up, we shall open our presents from under the tree.
02:24Straight after supper instead of at midnight.
02:26What do you say?
02:28Very well, yes.
02:29Yes, fine. Splendid.
02:30Let's do that.
02:31Gladstone will be pleased at least.
02:33there's a treat somewhere for him.
02:53Welcome, gentlemen.
02:54Very good of you to come.
02:56Gal, has he been arrested?
02:57No, Mr. Holmes.
02:58He's come to complain.
02:59Has indeed.
03:00Yeah, he's spotted our surveillance of him.
03:02He doesn't like it.
03:03He won't get up.
03:04Oh, dear me, no.
03:07Join the party.
03:32Come on.
03:33Yes!
03:34Come in!
03:35Oh, my dear fella.
03:36You're wearing it.
03:37Well, I had to try it.
03:39What's so good about it?
03:40It stretches forward over the handlebars if you need it.
03:42Where did you find it?
03:44Where did you find it?
03:45Gamages, people's emporium.
03:47Hi.
03:48Magnificent.
03:49Hi, magnificent.
03:50Parkinson, do come in, dear fella.
03:52Please, sit down.
03:53What are the news of the grave robberies?
03:55my dear fella. you're wearing it. well I had to try it. what's so good about it? it stretches
04:01forward over the handlebars if you if you need it. where did you find it?
04:05Gamma cheese! people's emporium. thank you. hi. magnificent. Parkinson do come in dear fella.
04:13please sit down. what is the news of the grave robberies? the Camberwell force
04:20have been on to me. an incident down there. they were wondering if it had any
04:24connection. I don't think it does myself but I'd value your opinion Mr. Holmes. we
04:30need to get this nasty little joke solved and out of the way. joke? respectable lady
04:36in company opening up parcels Christmas Eve. one of them's a bit odd. it's full of
04:41salt. she empties out the salt. what's in it? two freshly severed human ears. we think it
04:49was a medical student. she had a medical student as a lodger. post-mortem anatomy
04:53can make certain individuals thoroughly callous. she threw him out just before
04:57Christmas. bit of a row apparently. anyway knowing your methods Mr. Holmes I've had
05:01the ears left quite untouched at the ladies house. which is here it is Trafalgar
05:07Villa Camberwell and Miss Susan Cushing.
05:11oh Mr. Holmes have you come to help me find Mary after all? I'm afraid not Miss Cushing. the inspector has asked me here to look into that other unfortunate business.
05:24oh that. well I won't have those things in the house Mr. Hawkins. if you wish to see them you must go to the conservatory. have you arrested that wretched young man yet?
05:36just a matter of time Miss Cushing.
05:40postmark Harwich. now this student fellow Jacketay was going home for Christmas to
05:46Ostend via Harwich. yes I agree. Harwich is persuasive. the writing is poor, uneducated. I know the
05:57medical profession is notorious for this illegibility but this. red with a broad
06:04nib pan. very inferior ink. tar twine. stockholm tar. knots intact.
06:27rustled. and embedded in it? these very singular enclosures. what do you think
06:37of it Watson? well a ring has been torn from this ear. they're not a pair. I suppose it
06:47was rather easier for Jacketay to have abstracted ears from a dissecting room which
06:51were not actually a pair. to what purpose? I know some kind of disgusting practical joke.
06:57gentlemen this is no practical joke. what first strikes you when you enter a
07:05dissecting room? formaldehyde. dammit it should smell of formaldehyde. and it does not. this is no
07:13practical joke. this is a serious crime.
07:19your sister Miss Cushing. Mary. at last. Mary Mary quite contrary. I thought it was Mary. I've come to take some more of my things.
07:42I bought you a present before we argued. you may as well have it. I don't want it. I don't want it.
07:50I don't want it. what's the matter with you? is it another disgusting prank? what? he was your friend after all.
07:58who was? I don't want your horrid parcel. take it. let's preserve the proprieties at least sister.
08:04the proprieties. you dare to talk about the proprieties. you've flouted the rules of society all your life.
08:14and you had the effrontery to accuse me of interfering with Mary's marrying that man.
08:20didn't you? what did you do? what did I do? I did nothing. you know what you did.
08:28you introduced Mary to other men. corrupting her. Mary has told me in her innocence.
08:35she accused me. Mary accuses no one. you know that. but I see your hand in her unhappiness.
08:42nonsense. why did Jim Browner start drinking again? he signed the pledge for Mary.
08:51that's what brought them together. she pinned the blue ribbon to his chest and he was a new man.
08:57so why did he break his pledge? why ask me? why did you quarrel with him?
09:04I never approved of Jim Browner. that's true. but he deserved better than being driven back to drink by your meddling.
09:11I never approved of him. I am. this is it. you know-
09:12I never approved of him. I am. this is it. you know-
09:13you know-
09:15that's true. I am. I have to call it. you can see.
09:16I have to call it. I'll be here. I am. this is it.
09:18your name. this is for you. this is for the master's self-teacher.
09:20why are you? This has to call your son a friend.
09:21I have to call it. Mr.
09:28Mr.
09:29Mr.
09:30Mr.
09:31Mr.
09:32Mr.
09:33Mr.
09:34Mr.
09:34The
09:36Mr.
09:37Mr.
09:39Mr.
09:40I'm back. Jim. Hello Sarah. Mary wasn't expecting you till much later. I managed to
09:50catch the tail end of the flood. Saved the whole tank. She not here then? No.
09:55Old Mrs. Cooper's not well again. Mary's with her. I said I'd help her with the
10:04laundry. She'll be back soon. You help her a lot, don't you? That's nice.
10:19You know why I help her, I suppose? What? Why I'm always around here. Well, you're
10:39her sister. Won't you be happy for five minutes without her, Jim? Here. Make
10:55yourself useful.
11:09Drop the side then. What? Well, you drop this and bring it up the other side. What do
11:18you mean? Mary doesn't do that. There are plenty of things Mary doesn't do, I dare say.
11:27Look, I'll show you how to do it, shall I?
11:30Look. No. No, come on. You take this corner. Right. Now, you drop this and you bring it up the other side.
11:50You do it yourself. That's not for me. I'm no part of that.
12:02Push at women's work at me. You keep that to yourself.
12:20Push at women's work at men. I don't show you how to do it.
