Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 1
"My
dear
friend,"
said
Sherlock
Holmes
as
we
sat
by
the
fire
in
his
room
on
Baker
Street,
"life
is
much
stranger
than
anything
we
could
imagine.
We
would
not
dare
to
think
of
the
things
that
are
just
everyday
life.
If
we
could
fly
out
of
that
window
and
look
at
this
big
city,
we
would
see
strange
things.
The
odd
events
and
plans
would
surprise
us.
It
would
make
all
stories
seem
boring."
"I
am
not
sure
about
that,"
I
replied.
"The
stories
in
the
newspapers
are
often
simple
and
not
very
interesting.
The
police
reports
show
real
life,
but
they
are
not
exciting
or
artistic."
"You
need
to
choose
carefully
to
make
a
realistic
story,"
said
Holmes.
"Police
reports
focus
on
the
judge's
words
more
than
the
important
details.
These
details
are
what
make
the
story
interesting.
The
everyday
things
are
often
the
most
unusual."
I
smiled
and
shook
my
head.
"I
understand
why
you
think
that,"
I
said.
"You
help
people
all
over
the
world
with
strange
problems.
But
look
here,"
I
said,
picking
up
the
morning
paper.
"Let's
see
if
there's
something
interesting.
The
first
headline
says,
'A
husband's
cruelty
to
his
wife.'
I
know
without
reading
it
that
it's
the
same
old
story.
There's
always
another
woman,
drinking,
fighting,
and
a
helpful
sister
or
landlady.
Even
the
worst
writer
could
not
make
it
more
simple."
"Your
example
is
not
a
good
one
for
your
point,"
said
Holmes,
taking
the
paper
and
looking
at
it.
"This
is
the
Dundas
case.
I
helped
with
some
details.
The
husband
did
not
drink,
and
there
was
no
other
woman.
He
had
a
strange
habit
of
throwing
his
false
teeth
at
his
wife
after
meals.
You
must
agree,
this
is
not
something
a
storyteller
would
think
of.
Have
a
pinch
of
snuff,
Doctor,
and
admit
that
I
have
won
this
time."
He
offered
me
his
snuffbox,
which
was
made
of
gold
with
a
big
amethyst
on
the
lid.
It
was
so
fancy
that
I
had
to
comment
on
it.
"Ah,"
he
said,
"I
forgot
I
haven't
seen
you
for
weeks.
The
King
of
Bohemia
gave
it
to
me
for
helping
with
the
Irene
Adler
papers."
"And
the
ring?"
I
asked,
looking
at
the
bright
jewel
on
his
finger.
