Capítulo 2, Página 22
"Tonight,
you
will
play
for
bigger
stakes,"
said
Holmes.
"For
you,
Mr.
Merryweather,
it
is
about
£30,000.
For
you,
Jones,
it
is
the
criminal
you
want
to
catch."
"John
Clay,
the
murderer,
thief,
and
forger.
He
is
young,
Mr.
Merryweather,
but
he
is
very
skilled.
I
would
rather
catch
him
than
any
other
criminal
in
London.
He
is
clever,
and
we
often
see
signs
of
him
but
never
find
him.
One
week
he
is
in
Scotland,
and
the
next
he
is
in
Cornwall.
I
have
followed
him
for
years
but
never
seen
him."
"I
hope
to
introduce
you
to
him
tonight.
I
have
also
had
some
dealings
with
John
Clay,
and
I
agree
he
is
the
best.
It
is
past
ten,
so
we
should
start.
You
two
take
the
first
cab;
Watson
and
I
will
follow
in
the
second."
Sherlock
Holmes
was
quiet
during
the
long
ride.
He
hummed
tunes
from
the
afternoon.
We
drove
through
many
lit
streets
until
we
reached
Farrington
Street.
"We
are
close
now,"
my
friend
said.
"Merryweather
is
a
bank
director
and
cares
about
this.
I
thought
it
was
good
to
have
Jones
too.
Jones
is
brave
like
a
bulldog
and
holds
on
tight.
Here
we
are;
they
are
waiting
for
us."
We
reached
the
busy
street
we
visited
in
the
morning.
We
left
the
cabs
and
followed
Mr.
Merryweather
through
a
narrow
passage
and
a
side
door.
Inside
was
a
corridor
ending
at
a
big
iron
gate.
We
went
down
stone
steps
to
another
gate.
Mr.
Merryweather
lit
a
lantern
and
led
us
through
a
dark
passage
into
a
large
vault
full
of
crates
and
boxes.
"You
are
safe
from
above,"
Holmes
said,
holding
the
lantern
and
looking
around.
"And
from
below,"
said
Mr.
Merryweather,
tapping
the
floor
with
his
stick.
"It
sounds
hollow!"
he
said,
surprised.
