The Adventure of the Speckled Band
Capítulo 8, Página 15
"Imagine
him
thinking
I'm
like
the
official
detectives!
This
makes
our
case
more
interesting.
I
hope
our
friend
won't
get
in
trouble
for
letting
him
follow
her.
Now,
Watson,
let's
have
breakfast,
then
I'll
go
to
Doctors’
Commons
to
find
some
information."
It
was
almost
one
o'clock
when
Holmes
returned.
He
had
a
blue
paper
with
notes
and
numbers.
"I
saw
the
will
of
the
dead
wife,"
he
said.
"I
needed
to
check
the
current
value
of
the
investments.
The
total
income
was
nearly
£1,000,
but
now
it's
only
£750
because
of
lower
prices.
Each
daughter
gets
£250
if
she
marries.
If
both
marry,
the
doctor
gets
very
little
money.
Even
if
one
marries,
he
loses
a
lot.
My
work
shows
he
has
strong
reasons
to
stop
any
marriage.
Now,
Watson,
this
is
serious.
The
old
man
knows
we're
interested
in
his
affairs.
If
you're
ready,
let's
get
a
cab
to
Waterloo.
Bring
your
revolver.
It's
useful
with
men
who
bend
steel
pokers.
That
and
a
toothbrush
are
all
we
need."
At
Waterloo,
we
caught
a
train
to
Leatherhead.
We
hired
a
trap
and
drove
through
the
lovely
Surrey
lanes
for
four
or
five
miles.
The
day
was
perfect,
with
bright
sun
and
a
few
clouds.
The
trees
and
hedges
were
just
turning
green,
and
the
air
smelled
fresh.
The
beauty
of
spring
was
so
different
from
our
serious
task.
Holmes
sat
in
front,
deep
in
thought,
with
his
hat
low
over
his
eyes.
Suddenly,
he
tapped
me
and
pointed.
"Look
there!"
he
said.
A
park
with
many
trees
sloped
up
to
a
grove.
In
the
trees,
we
saw
the
old
mansion's
roof
and
gables.
"Stoke
Moran?"
he
asked.
"Yes,
sir,
that's
Dr.
Grimesby
Roylott's
house,"
said
the
driver.
