Kept it private. I didnt want people laughing at him. It was only me he trusted. He thought i. He sort of thought. Jeremiah horrocks all over again. Kind of. The reincarnation of a 17thcentury astronomer. Dead crazy i know. He was losing his mind. No. Yes. So sad. So sad. I didnt want to believe it at first but theres no other way to explain it. Come on, jez. Lewis cromptons wires were crossed, like ted temples thats why he was seeing dr. Ransome in secret, not because they were lovers but because he realized he was losing his mind. Get onto dr. Ransomes health center, see what they knew. Jez do you ever think youre in disneyland here . Like its not real . Lewis on a good day. You always been into planets and stars and that . Since i was a kid. Dad said, look at the man in the moon, and i said, thats not a man, its mountains. He must be proud. He hopped it when i was six. Ironic, mam says. Her the steady sister marries a chancer, and wild child babs ends up with boring old rog. I thought rog was mad when he said not to let on i was family but after a week or so i was better off keeping me mouth shut. Its still a bit snobby, oxford, but its getting better. No, thats okay, its just rog is a prat and i dont need the association, know what i mean . Babs is different. What about kate . The creature from planet posh . You had a bustup yesterday . The big one. Why . sighs oh, god. Why, jez . Eh . Because shes a killer. His delusion about jez and the transit of venus. Not just a harmless eccentricity . He had a brain tumor. It was that. The test results came in on the monday and we think dr. Ransome told him the following day. Perhaps thats what she wanted to see me about when she was shot. Did she say she was coming for something in particular . No, just to see me, but. But thinking back, she did ask me if there was going to be anyone else around as if she wanted to tell me something. It explains the church, too. This priest, whats his name . Father francis. Whats he like . I only met him once. I hope hes kind. Here are the details of dr. Magnani. Hes more than happy for you to go and speak with him. Did he say what would have happened to andrew if he hadnt been killed . The tumor was aggressive and advanced. Inoperable. In a very strange way, thats a comfort. cell phone rings im sorry. Sorry, mrs. Crompton. Embarrassing for you, sir. Oh, very embarrassing. Thats like saying mozart was rather promising. To be. Cuckolded three months into ones marriage by ones protege and only finding out about it 30 years later when i am sent the gruesome details by a failed blackmailer. Still. I. Ive made my peace with gwen. Mr. Finniston says youve blocked his new post. Ill let him think so for a while, but i cant really without the other members of the board asking awkward questions. But im here because of the shooting yesterday. When i filled in the witness questionnaire, i was so upset that i neglected to Say Something which may be of importance. Whats that . Just before dr. Ransome was killed, i saw her arguing with someone in the orchestra. Who . The bassoon. The name . Um, kate cameron. Shes an undergraduate. Lewis we know miss cameron. Lewis she was already angry before she left the rehearsal, according to dr. Hobson. Think jez is serious about her being a killer . He wasnt joking. Here we are. Kate cameron. Left rehearsal and went straight to my room. I did not see dr. Ransome or anyone else. I was pleased that your husband had decided to return to the church. Dont take this the wrong way, father, but. He wasnt in his right mind. He had a brain tumor. You knew. What else did he tell you that he didnt tell me . Im afraid im not at liberty to reveal what the penitent may confess. The penitent . crying he was my husband. Im sorry. Look, there she is. Hathaway kate . Sorry. What . You filled in a witness questionnaire after dr. Ransome was shot. Yes. In which you said you went straight back to your room after rehearsal and didnt speak to anybody. So . You were seen arguing with dr. Ransome. Who saw me . Why did you lie . I was upset. About splitting up with jez . Yeah. And whats that got to do with dr. Ransome . Can we go somewhere . knock at door father francis for you, maam. Just before term started. I had an abortion. Jez wouldnt have liked that. Is that why he finished with you . He said id killed his unborn child. Wonderful, isnt it, how people pick and mix morality to suit themselves . I mean, sex outside marriage whoopee. But when it comes to dealing with the consequences. Lewis yeah. Here, kate. sniffles did dr. Ransome arrange this termination . Yeah. She said i should tell jez that it was the right thing to do, but i didnt want to. I knew how hed be. So how did he find out . He wouldnt say. I thought dr. Ransome had gone ahead and told him without asking me and. Thats why i was angry but. But she denied it. I was so horrible to her. And then she was killed. And then i realized i was wrong and she didnt tell jez. How do you know . There was a letter from her with the appointment and i. Id tucked it in a book and forgotten it but today i noticed it somewhere else. Jez must have found it. Who cleans your room, kate . What . Whos your scout . Is it mrs. Temple . Yeah. knock at door woman kate, time to go. Im coming. Yeah, go on. Ill, uh, have that back, though. You think mrs. Temple found the letter and told jez . I reckon. Why not jez himself . And why wouldnt he say . If he was angry and finishing their relationship anyway, hed hardly be worried about admitting that hed been snooping. Point is, was he angry enough . To shoot an abortionist . This is oxford, england, not oxford, mississippi. cell phone rings mm. Yes, maam . Okay, well meet you by the porters lodge. Young man here will we sit, and let the sounds of music creep in our ears; soft stillness and the night become the touches of sweet harmony. orchestra begins holsts the planets this is inspector lewis. Have you decided to cooperate at last, sir . Well done. Inspector thank you for coming, father. Are you going to tell me what Andrew Crompton said or not . No, but what i can tell you is that jez haydock came to see me. For advice. Jez . He overheard an argument that night in the observatory. I told him to follow his conscience. the planets continues lewis jez must be here somewhere. You disgusting waste of space get off me music continues as men struggle hes the one who. Im warning you, mr. Finniston. Make yourself scarce. Hes there. Jez tell them what you told me about the master and your aunt. orchestra continues playing yeah, see what i mean . It would have been the next best thing to invisible. Stand the rifle up in there, maybe chuck a cloth over it. It wouldnt get a second glance. Lewis neither would she. Mrs. Temple . Just a sec if its all the same. Gun club. Hathaway luckily, with no guns. Ah. Maam . Forensics had done, so i authorized their return. Ill get backup. Oh, no, no. No, mrs. Temple, not that. Ive had enough. Jez can explain. He cant tell us everything. I can try and work it out, but i dont want to get it wrong. That wouldnt be fair to mrs. Crompton. Thanks. No, okay, okay. Did you find a spare key to the gun store . Yeah. You and the master. Years. Since right back when ted temple was the head porter . Mm, yeah. I never knew old ted knew. He must have seen andy and me together. Andy thought i was lovely. And exciting. You knew about his tumor . Babs mm. When he touched me it was getting harder to feel me, thats how he put it. And then these odd ideas he kept having, he knew they were daft. Tuesday afternoon, dr. Ransome told him that there was nothing more that the hospital could do for him. Out, please no. He can stay. Father francis told andy that he should clear the slate, so. He said that we was going to tell his wife everything and just be with her and not with me. I couldnt take it. So what happened . I hung on to him and he tried to get me off him and then he was just falling down the stairs and. Did you tell them that you came to the observatory to get a book and you heard us arguing . Yeah. I shouldve let you own up like you wanted, but. But i said dont, because. Well, she didnt mean to kill him, so its not murder, right . Did she tell you she killed dr. Ransome . What . Jez why . Well, rog said that it was his duty to tell the police about her and andrew. You knew wed question her shed deny it, and she might put two and two together . Mm. Especially after what ted told her about andy and me. So i phoned her up to see what she knew and. And out it all came. And she said that she was going to have to tell you and. And mrs. Crompton. So you stopped her. Andy thought you were ever such a clever boy with all your stars and planets. Come on. Time to go, eh . Yeah. Ive had enough. Tell your mum sorry.

You know, ive been so inspired by all the precious items people have brought to mpt. Theyve put so much passion into researching their history and preserving their past. It is truly a privilege to share these stories with them. Lets take a look. Appraiser well, good morning, girls, and thank you for coming out to chesapeake collectibles today. And i understand you all got an interesting Christmas Present this past year. Is that correct . Guest yeah. Appraiser what did you get . Guest we got a metal detector. Appraiser a metal detector . Guest yes, and we went out and just found all this stuff. Appraiser and you went out and put it to good use. Guest yes. Appraiser okay. And you were doing this on property that your family has here in maryland, correct . Guest mmhuh. Appraiser lets talk a little about what you brought in today. This was a piece of ironwork and youve also been i understand doing some History Research that says maybe that there was an iron forge in or around the property that you all live on, is that correct . Guests yes. Appraiser the family name was i think. Guest dorsey. Appraiser the dorsey forge, perhaps . We tried to identify that in some of the maryland records. But there are interesting forges and mills across all sorts of communities from the colonial times. What we have here is an example of ironwork that probably would have been used either for decoration in gate work, fencing, perhaps some sort of industrial application. We also have here a number of framed pieces that have been found of different buttons, coins. There are a couple of indian head pennies in the frame. The most interesting of which is the one that you all found, which is this artillery badge. It probably is dating somewhere between the war of 1812 and the civil war, and is a fascinating piece. And all of this stuff is buried in the ground. I mean, you all dug it up. The metal detector went off and you all stopped and dug it up. Guest yeah. Appraiser and so theres always going to be a deteriorated quality where being buried in the ground has taken a toll on it. But the artillery badge is in remarkably good condition. And, anna, i think you were telling me you were the one who found. Guest no, my grandpa was digging for power lines and he felt a big rock so he pulled it out. Appraiser and you all took this out i think to fort. Guest yeah, fort mchenry. Appraiser fort mchenry. And they were able to tell you that this was a war of 1812 cannonball. Yup. Yeah. Appraiser and then also you found an example of the virginia half penny. Guest yup. Appraiser which was a really nice piece of early colonial coinage. Now, do you have any idea what the value of all these things are . Guests no, not at all. Appraiser okay. Well, its not unusual to find ironwork remains such as this, or even cannonballs. Down the lower part of the Chesapeake Bay i dont know a clammer or crabber who doesnt have a cannonball on board their boat. The virginia half penny is a very nice find, as is the artillery badge. But really what we have here is a really nice collection of things. Now, are you all still adding to the collection are you still going. Guests um, yeah. Appraiser who likes to go out the most . Or are you both equal . Guests we both go out. Guest yeah, we sometimes go out with our parents and. Appraiser and you never thought that this metal detector was gonna end you up on television did you . Guest laughter no. Appraiser well, the collection as a whole because of some of the conditions of the pieces is probably in the 1,000 to 1,500 range. Guest whoa gasps appraiser and if you continue doing it i mean, there have been some remarkable finds that have been unearthed. I will always caution, dont go on a national or state park and do it cause youre not supposed to do that. But when youre on private property, always ask permission. And i want to congratulate you on being what i think are the youngest collectors weve had on chesapeake collectbles. Guest woo appraiser thank you all for coming out today. Guest thank you. Appraiser this drawing approached the table. He had it upside down and the people next to me were looking at it and it is a quintessential example of this artists work. And even upside down i knew what it was. So that tells you how good it is. Tell me about how you acquired it . Guest well, in 1955 i was at the university and on a break from university. I was asked to help raise money for this hospital. This building here, the back is green gate Rubber Company and this is a school yard attached to green gate near ricketts hospital. These children were there during the week for five days and then they would go home to the parents. Ricketts was a disease that affected the arms and legs, the limbs. And the idea for the fundraiser was to raise enough money to keep the place going because it was a Charity Hospital. I was asked to go through files and take out pictures of children. Anything i could find. And then in a file i found this drawing. And i knew about lowry because hes a lancaster artist and i was born in lancaster. This area was kind of where i grew up. And so they raised the money. And then two years later the government stepped in and closed down all these Charity Hospitals and absorbed them into the Health System in the u. K. Because it was a Charity Hospital all of the money had to go to the government and everything had to be sold. Appraiser wow guest i just got married and we bought a lot of things that were on sale for the fraction of the price. And i actually bought this for half a crown which was then probably about fifty cents. Appraiser fantastic. Well, Laurence Steven lowry is known primarily for painting the Industrial Areas of northern england, and what they term is a naive style, which has been changed. A lot of the galleries and museums dont put kindly on that term. But it does have a folky charm to it that transcends that period where most things were a lot darker and a lot more abstract. Appraiser it dates from 1930, and im going to imagine that at the time when he did this his matchstick men which is what he was known for get elongated. So this is maybe six or eight years before. I think he started pushing the figures a little bit later. And by the
