A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 17
"And
what
about
Irene
Adler?"
I
asked.
"Oh,
she's
turned
all
the
men's
heads
in
that
area.
They
say
she's
the
prettiest
woman
in
the
world.
That's
what
everyone
in
Serpentine-mews
says.
She
lives
quietly,
sings
at
concerts,
drives
out
at
five
every
day,
and
returns
at
seven
for
dinner.
She
rarely
goes
out
at
other
times,
except
when
she
sings.
She
has
only
one
male
visitor,
but
he
visits
often.
He's
dark,
handsome,
and
charming,
never
visits
less
than
once
a
day,
often
twice.
He's
Mr.
Godfrey
Norton,
of
the
Inner
Temple.
That's
the
advantage
of
having
a
cabman
as
a
confidant.
They've
driven
him
home
many
times
from
Serpentine-mews
and
know
all
about
him.
After
hearing
everything
they
had
to
say,
I
started
walking
up
and
down
near
Briony
Lodge
again,
thinking
about
my
next
move."
"This
Godfrey
Norton
seemed
important
in
this
situation.
He
was
a
lawyer,
which
sounded
serious.
What
was
their
relationship,
and
why
did
he
visit
her
so
often?
Was
she
his
client,
friend,
or
something
more?
If
she
was
his
client,
maybe
she
gave
him
the
photograph.
If
she
was
more,
it
seemed
unlikely.
Depending
on
this,
I
would
either
stay
at
Briony
Lodge
or
focus
on
his
office
in
the
Temple.
It
was
a
tricky
decision
that
expanded
my
investigation.
I
hope
I'm
not
boring
you
with
these
details,
but
you
need
to
understand
my
challenges."
"I'm
following
you
closely,"
I
replied.
"I
was
still
thinking
about
it
when
a
hansom
cab
arrived
at
Briony
Lodge,
and
a
man
jumped
out.
He
was
very
handsome,
dark,
with
sharp
features
and
a
moustache—clearly
the
man
I
had
heard
about.
He
seemed
in
a
hurry,
told
the
cab
to
wait,
and
walked
past
the
maid
at
the
door
like
he
belonged
there."
"He
stayed
in
the
house
for
about
thirty
minutes.
I
saw
him
through
the
sitting-room
windows,
pacing
and
talking
with
excitement,
waving
his
arms.
I
didn't
see
her.
When
he
left,
he
looked
even
more
rushed.
As
he
got
into
the
cab,
he
checked
his
gold
watch
and
shouted,
'Drive
fast,
first
to
Gross
&
Hankey’s
on
Regent
Street,
then
to
the
Church
of
St.
Monica
on
Edgeware
Road.
I'll
pay
extra
if
you
make
it
in
twenty
minutes!'"
"They
drove
off,
and
I
was
wondering
if
I
should
follow
when
a
neat
little
landau
came
up
the
lane.
The
coachman
looked
a
bit
untidy,
with
his
coat
half-buttoned
and
tie
askew.
Before
it
stopped,
she
rushed
out
of
the
house
and
into
it.
I
only
saw
her
briefly,
but
she
was
a
beautiful
woman,
with
a
face
a
man
might
die
for."
"'To
the
Church
of
St.
Monica,
John,'
she
called,
'and
I'll
pay
you
extra
if
you
get
there
in
twenty
minutes.'"
