Be the First to Review this Show!
Characters:
Whit, Eugene Meltsner, Lawrence Chalmers, Margaret (Hoffmeyer) Chalmers

Notes:
PARENTAL WARNING: This is a mystery in which Whit solves a murder on a train.   Although told tongue-in-cheek, it may be too intense for younger listeners under 10 years old.

GOOF ALERT: Toward the end of this episode, Whit tells Inspector McGreavy, "You showed me your manuscript about the History of Reading Jael..." This references a line earlier in the episode in which the Inspector says, "What say...you look over the roughs of my book." However, before the two of them could look at the book manuscripts, they saw the "murder" on the back of the train. Whit never looked at the manuscript, and it's highly unlikely he would stop investigating a murder to read a book.

Notes:
GOOF ALERT: Proclus says that the temple is nothing compared to the Colosseum in Rome. The story is taking place sometime between 4BC and 2BC or there about, during the reign of Caesar Augustus (whose reign was from 27BC to 14AD). But the Colosseum was not even ordered built until the reign of Vespasian, whose reign was from 69 to 79 AD. (Contributed by Paul Baser)
