0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to another episode of Nostologic Mystery Radio.
0:21.5	I'm your host Stevie K.
0:23.2	And it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.
0:26.5	For this episode, I bring you Father Brown, episode titled The Dagger with Wings,
0:32.1	where a wealthy landowner in the West Country confesses to Father Brown that his adopted son has coerced him

I'm hanged if I can make out whether it's a case for a doctor, or a policeman, or a priest. Well, as I suppose you are both a policeman and a doctor, I seem to be in rather a minority.
2:07.4	An instructed minority, let us say.
2:11.3	I mean, I know you've had to do a little in our line as well as your own.
2:16.3	That's true. I have stepped rather outside my priestly duties on occasion. And very successfully, if I may be allowed to say so.
