Grayson?
If you want me to old man.
What do you want me to do?
You're having a drink at the bar.
Oh drink, not a bad idea.
Drink at the bar.
Bring me a whiskey and soda will you Stewart?
Stewart?
Sorry Doctor Watson but the bar's closed.
He says the bar's closed.
According to Grogan's
reconstruction of the scene,
let me see,
yes,
Grayson pauses at the bar
while Senator Babcock moves across
and sits down here.
Do you mind being Senator Babcock
for the moment Watson?
Going up in the world.
Sit down please.
Now Miss Pringle is seated there.
Over here Watson.
Huh?
Now I'm Miss Pringle?
That's right, the mouse woman.
Oh the mouse woman.
Watson over here please.
No not there, not there,
that's Senator Babcock.
Oh pardon me Senator.
Sit down please.
Now you're Mrs. Jellison.
Oh excuse me Mr. Holmes,
he ain't Mrs. Jellison.
He's the young lady.
What?
Sir Henry Marchmont was sitting right here
and Mrs. Jellison was right here.
She is sort of a big, fat lady.
What did Grayson do with her
that attracted your attention
so particularly to Mrs. Jellison?
The little man he retrieved her book.
And the young lady sitting here?
Didn't she converse with the little man?
No sir.
That young lady didn't have no converse with no one.
When the little man lit her cigarette
she sat back and said,
"Thank you very much."
But you have matches here for your customers.
Oh yes, she called me and I saw her cigarette
and I knew she wanted a match.
And Grayson used one of his own matches?
Well uh...
oh yes, he took a folder from his coat pocket.
Did he put the match folder back in his pocket
or did he give it to the young lady?
Why I don't remember, I was fairly busy.
Try to remember!
Oh if I should try till doomsday
I couldn't remember
just what happened to that match folder.
Oh yes, I remember just one important thing.
What?
When the little man lit her cigarette
he said something very peculiar.
What was it?
He said, "Permit me."
Oh.
Well...
well gentlemen
I'm extremely grateful to all of you.
It's all we can do for the present I think.
Since the place was torn to bits,
after the murder of Grayson,
the attacks on Senator Babcock, Mrs. Jellison,
Miss Pringle,
I'm convinced that the document left the club car
long before these events
but how?
By whom?
And who was the mysterious young lady
whose cigarette Grayson lighted?
Did anyone meet the young lady?
He sure did.
He, who's he?
Tall, handsome and in uniform.
I see.
I suppose you wouldn't remember
what kind of uniform?
I certainly would.
Lieutenant, Navy flyer.
My boy's in the Army,
he's going to be a flyer too.
Splendid.
Did you happen to hear them say anything.
Oh I didn't happen I just couldn't help hearing it.
Well what did they say?
Oh yes, they said they had three day leave,
they had to move fast
before the big party her Aunt was given them.
And then too he put a ring on her finger
and they both looked mighty happy.
Just the way you're looking right now.
And the way I'm looking myself.
Come on Watson.
That's the girl.
I could swear to it.
Is the address there?
All there, right in our laps.
Also right into the lap of Sherlock Holmes.
That's the least of our worries.
The head could handle ten like Holmes.
I hope so.
But don't underrate that Englishman.
I have several friends who did.
They now grace
some of the best prisons in England.
Yes sir?
I talked to the catering company
it's quite all right.
They could hardly refuse me.
It's the Acton Company.
The Acton Catering Company.
Yes sir,
I know what to do.
Pop over there.
You're going to work for the catering company?
Right.
When you get in the house find out all you can.
Cady?
Yes.
You're to go as a guest.
Will it be safe?
It will have to be.
I'll try and get in the girl's room.
Unless you hear from me carry on as we planned.
Oh.
Flash Gordon.
Seems a very capable fellow.
Sports pages.
These Brooklyn fellows
seem to be arguing with the Umpire.
Sorted thing.
What are you eating Watson?
Gum.
Oh put it away.
Never seen you take an interest
in the society columns before.
It's a concern I'll drop at once
I assure you Watson.
Huh?
You find what you're looking for?
Well how'd you know this is the girl?
It would be an extraordinary coincidence wouldn't it
if more than one Naval lieutenant in Washington
were to become engaged in the last few days
to a girl from New York
who's aunt was giving them the reception?
By Jove, you must be right.
She's a pretty girl.
Yes.
She's walking around with dynamite in her handbag.
635 Waldorf Place.
Who is it?
It's me Pete.
You can't come up here.
I did though.
One gets you two.
Awe that party's going to be
awfully dull after this.
Let's not go.
Let's go away and get married.
You've only got one more day.
That's an idea.
Nah, we can't do that to Anne.
I'll tell you,
let's sneak a look at the new apartment.
It was awful sweet of Anne to give us
the whole floor of this house for our apartment.
The least we can do
is let her have the fun of showing it to us.
Okay.
Let's face the party.
I'll get my bag.
Thank you.
Oh no you don't.
That's the way I got them.
