The Red-Headed League
Capítulo 2, Página 7
"'And
what
are
they
worth?'
I
asked."
"'Oh,
just
a
couple
of
hundred
a
year.
The
work
is
easy
and
doesn't
take
much
time.'"
"You
can
imagine
that
made
me
interested.
My
business
hasn't
been
good
for
years,
and
an
extra
couple
of
hundred
would
be
very
helpful."
"'Tell
me
all
about
it,'
I
said."
"'Well,'
he
said,
showing
me
the
ad,
'you
can
see
the
League
has
a
job,
and
there's
the
address
to
apply.
From
what
I
understand,
the
League
was
started
by
an
American
millionaire,
Ezekiah
Hopkins.
He
was
red-headed
and
liked
red-headed
men.
When
he
died,
he
left
his
money
to
give
jobs
to
men
with
red
hair.
It's
good
pay
and
not
much
work.'"
"'But,'
I
said,
'there
must
be
many
red-headed
men
who
would
apply.'"
"'Not
as
many
as
you
think,'
he
answered.
'It's
only
for
men
in
London.
This
American
started
from
London
when
he
was
young
and
wanted
to
help
the
city.
Also,
I
heard
you
can't
apply
if
your
hair
is
light
red,
dark
red,
or
anything
but
bright
red.
If
you
want
to
apply,
Mr.
Wilson,
you
could
do
it,
but
it
might
not
be
worth
the
trouble
for
a
few
hundred
pounds.'"
"Now,
as
you
can
see,
my
hair
is
a
very
bright
color.
So,
I
thought
I
had
a
good
chance.
Vincent
Spaulding
knew
a
lot
about
it,
so
I
asked
him
to
close
the
shop
for
the
day
and
come
with
me.
He
was
happy
to
have
a
day
off,
so
we
closed
the
shop
and
went
to
the
address
in
the
ad."
