Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Man with the Twisted Lip
Capítulo 6, Página 8
"Some
years
ago,
in
May
1884,
Neville
St.
Clair
came
to
Lee.
He
had
money.
He
bought
a
big
house
and
lived
well.
He
made
friends
and
married
a
local
brewer's
daughter
in
1887.
They
have
two
kids.
He
had
no
job
but
liked
business.
He
went
to
town
in
the
morning
and
came
back
in
the
evening.
He
is
thirty-seven,
a
good
man,
a
husband,
and
a
father.
He
owes
£88
10s
but
has
£220
in
the
bank.
Money
is
not
a
problem."
"Last
Monday,
Mr.
St.
Clair
went
to
town
early.
He
had
two
things
to
do
and
promised
to
bring
a
toy
for
his
son.
His
wife
got
a
telegram
after
he
left.
It
said
a
package
was
ready
at
the
Aberdeen
Shipping
Company.
The
office
is
near
where
you
found
me
tonight.
She
had
lunch,
shopped,
got
the
package,
and
walked
home
at
4:00
through
Swandam
Lane.
Do
you
understand?"
"It
is
very
clear."
"Remember,
Monday
was
very
hot.
Mrs.
St.
Clair
walked
slowly.
She
looked
for
a
cab.
She
did
not
like
the
area.
She
walked
down
Swandam
Lane.
Suddenly,
she
heard
a
cry.
She
saw
her
husband
at
a
window.
He
looked
very
scared.
He
waved
his
hands.
Then
he
disappeared
fast.
She
thought
someone
pulled
him
back.
He
wore
a
dark
coat,
but
no
collar
or
tie."
"She
was
scared
for
him.
She
ran
to
the
house.
It
was
an
opium
den.
She
tried
to
go
upstairs.
At
the
stairs,
a
man
stopped
her.
Another
man
helped
him
push
her
outside.
She
felt
very
worried.
She
ran
down
the
lane.
In
Fresno
Street,
she
saw
some
police.
An
inspector
and
two
men
went
with
her.
They
went
back
to
the
room.
Mr.
St.
Clair
was
not
there.
Only
a
strange
man
was
there.
He
said
no
one
else
was
in
the
room.
The
inspector
almost
believed
him.
Then
Mrs.
St.
Clair
saw
a
box.
She
opened
it.
Children's
bricks
fell
out.
It
was
the
toy
her
husband
promised
to
bring."
"The
inspector
saw
the
man's
confusion.
He
knew
this
was
serious.
They
looked
at
the
rooms.
They
found
signs
of
a
crime.
The
front
room
was
simple.
It
led
to
a
small
bedroom.
The
bedroom
window
looked
out
to
the
wharf.
At
low
tide,
there
is
dry
land.
At
high
tide,
there
is
water.
The
window
was
open.
They
saw
blood
on
the
windowsill.
There
were
drops
on
the
floor.
Behind
a
curtain,
they
found
Mr.
St.
Clair's
clothes.
His
coat
was
missing.
They
found
his
boots,
socks,
hat,
and
watch.
There
was
no
other
way
out.
The
blood
made
them
think
he
could
not
swim
away."
"Now
about
the
men
involved.
The
first
man
was
a
Lascar.
He
was
known
to
be
bad.
But
he
was
at
the
stairs
when
Mrs.
St.
Clair
saw
her
husband.
He
could
not
do
the
crime
alone.
He
said
he
knew
nothing.
He
did
not
know
about
Hugh
Boone,
his
lodger.
He
did
not
know
about
the
clothes."
"Now
about
the
cripple.
He
lived
on
the
second
floor.
He
was
the
last
person
to
see
Mr.
St.
Clair.
His
name
is
Hugh
Boone.
He
is
a
beggar.
He
pretends
to
sell
matches.
On
Threadneedle
Street,
he
sits
with
matches
on
his
lap.
People
give
him
money.
He
has
orange
hair,
a
pale
face,
and
a
scar.
His
eyes
are
dark.
He
is
easy
to
see
in
a
crowd.
He
is
smart
and
talks
back
to
people.
He
lived
in
the
opium
den.
He
saw
Mr.
St.
Clair
last."
