Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Five Orange Pips
Capítulo 5, Página 1
When
I
look
at
my
notes
from
Sherlock
Holmes’s
cases
between
1882
and
1890,
I
see
many
strange
and
interesting
stories.
It
is
hard
to
choose
which
to
tell.
Some
stories
are
already
known
because
of
the
newspapers,
and
others
did
not
show
my
friend’s
special
skills.
Some
cases
confused
even
him,
and
some
are
only
partly
solved.
But
one
case
was
so
unusual
and
surprising
that
I
want
to
tell
it,
even
if
some
parts
are
still
not
clear.
In
the
year
1887,
we
had
many
interesting
cases.
I
have
records
of
the
Paradol
Chamber
adventure,
the
Amateur
Mendicant
Society,
the
British
barque
Sophy
Anderson,
the
Grice
Patersons
on
Uffa
island,
and
the
Camberwell
poisoning
case.
In
the
last
case,
Holmes
proved
the
time
of
death
by
winding
up
the
dead
man’s
watch,
which
was
very
important.
I
might
write
about
these
cases
later,
but
now
I
want
to
tell
you
about
a
very
strange
case.
It
was
late
September,
and
the
storm
was
very
strong.
The
wind
screamed,
and
the
rain
hit
the
windows
all
day.
Even
in
busy
London,
we
felt
the
power
of
nature.
As
evening
came,
the
storm
got
worse,
and
the
wind
cried
like
a
child.
Holmes
sat
by
the
fireplace,
looking
at
his
crime
records,
while
I
read
a
sea
story.
The
storm
outside
mixed
with
the
story
in
my
mind.
My
wife
was
visiting
her
mother,
so
I
stayed
at
Baker
Street
for
a
few
days.
“I
heard
the
bell,”
I
said,
looking
at
Holmes.
“Who
can
it
be?
Maybe
a
friend
of
yours?”
“I
have
no
friends
except
you,”
he
replied.
“I
do
not
like
visitors.”
“A
client,
then?”
“If
it
is,
the
case
is
serious.
Only
something
important
would
bring
someone
out
in
this
storm.
But
maybe
it
is
the
landlady’s
friend.”
Holmes
was
wrong.
We
heard
a
step
and
a
knock
at
the
door.
He
turned
the
lamp
towards
the
empty
chair
for
the
visitor.
