The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Capítulo 10, Página 4
“Short
and
clear,”
said
Holmes,
stretching
his
legs
towards
the
fire.
“There
was
more
in
a
society
paper
that
week.
Here
it
is:
‘There
will
soon
be
a
call
for
protection
in
the
marriage
market.
Many
noble
houses
in
Britain
are
now
managed
by
American
women.
Lord
St.
Simon,
single
for
over
twenty
years,
will
marry
Miss
Hatty
Doran,
a
California
millionaire’s
daughter.
She
is
known
for
her
beauty.
Her
dowry
is
over
six
figures.
The
Duke
of
Balmoral
sold
his
pictures
recently,
and
Lord
St.
Simon
has
only
a
small
estate.
The
Californian
heiress
gains
a
lot
from
this
marriage.’”
“Anything
else?”
asked
Holmes,
yawning.
“Yes,
there
is
more.
Another
note
in
the
Morning
Post
says
the
wedding
will
be
quiet,
at
St.
George’s,
Hanover
Square.
Only
a
few
friends
will
attend.
The
couple
will
return
to
a
house
at
Lancaster
Gate,
taken
by
Mr.
Aloysius
Doran.
Two
days
later,
on
Wednesday,
it
says
the
wedding
happened,
and
the
honeymoon
will
be
at
Lord
Backwater’s
place
near
Petersfield.
That
is
all
before
the
bride
disappeared.”
“Before
what?”
asked
Holmes,
surprised.
“The
lady
vanished.”
"When
did
she
disappear,
then?"
"At
the
wedding
breakfast."
