The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
Capítulo 9, Página 6
"Your
story
is
not
common,
Mr.
Hatherley,"
said
Holmes.
"Please
lie
down
and
feel
at
home.
Tell
us
your
story.
Stop
if
you
are
tired.
Drink
a
little
to
feel
stronger."
"Thank
you,"
said
Mr.
Hatherley.
"I
feel
better
after
the
doctor
helped
me.
Your
breakfast
was
good.
I
will
not
take
much
of
your
time.
I
will
start
my
story
now."
Holmes
sat
in
his
big
chair.
He
looked
tired
but
listened
carefully.
I
sat
across
from
him.
We
listened
to
Mr.
Hatherley's
story.
"I
am
an
orphan
and
a
bachelor,"
he
said.
"I
live
alone
in
London.
I
am
a
hydraulic
engineer.
I
worked
for
Venner
&
Matheson
for
seven
years.
Two
years
ago,
I
started
my
own
business.
I
got
some
money
when
my
father
died.
I
took
an
office
in
Victoria
Street."
"Starting
a
business
is
hard.
For
me,
it
was
very
hard.
In
two
years,
I
had
only
three
meetings
and
one
small
job.
I
made
£27
and
10
shillings.
Every
day,
I
waited
in
my
office
from
nine
to
four.
I
felt
sad.
I
thought
I
would
never
have
work."
"Yesterday,
I
wanted
to
leave
the
office.
My
clerk
came
in.
He
said
a
man
wanted
to
see
me.
The
man's
name
was
Colonel
Lysander
Stark.
The
colonel
came
in.
He
was
very
thin.
I
never
saw
a
man
so
thin.
His
face
was
sharp.
His
eyes
were
bright.
He
looked
about
forty
years
old."
"'Mr.
Hatherley?'
he
said
with
a
German
accent.
'You
are
good
at
your
work.
You
can
keep
secrets.'"
I
felt
happy.
"Who
told
you
about
me?"
I
asked.
