The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Capítulo 4, Página 27
"When
I
got
there,
he
was
talking
with
his
son.
I
smoked
a
cigar
and
waited
behind
a
tree.
As
I
listened,
I
got
angrier.
He
was
telling
his
son
to
marry
my
daughter
without
caring
what
she
thought.
It
made
me
mad
to
think
I
was
in
the
power
of
such
a
man.
Could
I
break
free?
I
was
dying
and
desperate.
I
knew
my
end
was
near.
But
my
memory
and
my
girl!
I
could
save
them
if
I
silenced
him.
I
did
it,
Mr.
Holmes.
I
would
do
it
again.
I
have
sinned
deeply,
but
I
have
tried
to
make
up
for
it.
My
girl
should
not
be
trapped
like
me.
I
hit
him
like
he
was
a
dangerous
animal.
His
cry
brought
his
son
back,
but
I
hid
in
the
woods.
I
had
to
go
back
for
the
cloak
I
dropped.
That
is
the
true
story,
gentlemen."
"Well,
it
is
not
for
me
to
judge
you,"
said
Holmes
as
the
old
man
signed
his
statement.
"I
hope
we
never
face
such
a
temptation."
"I
hope
not,
sir.
What
will
you
do
now?"
"Because
of
your
health,
nothing.
You
know
you
will
soon
answer
for
this
at
a
higher
court
than
the
Assizes.
I
will
keep
your
confession.
If
McCarthy
is
condemned,
I
will
use
it.
If
not,
it
will
stay
secret,
whether
you
are
alive
or
dead."
"Farewell,
then,"
said
the
old
man
solemnly.
"Your
own
deathbeds
will
be
easier
knowing
you
gave
peace
to
mine."
Shaking,
he
slowly
left
the
room.
"God
help
us!"
said
Holmes
after
a
long
silence.
"Why
does
fate
play
such
tricks
on
us?
I
never
hear
of
such
cases
without
thinking
of
Baxter’s
words
and
saying,
'There,
but
for
the
grace
of
God,
goes
Sherlock
Holmes.'"
James
McCarthy
was
acquitted
at
the
Assizes
because
of
objections
Holmes
raised.
Old
Turner
lived
seven
months
after
our
talk,
but
he
is
now
dead.
There
is
hope
that
the
son
and
daughter
will
live
happily
together,
not
knowing
the
dark
past.
