A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 18
"This
was
too
interesting
to
miss,
Watson.
I
was
deciding
whether
to
run
after
them
or
jump
on
the
back
of
her
landau
when
a
cab
came
by.
The
driver
hesitated
at
my
shabby
appearance,
but
I
got
in
before
he
could
refuse.
'To
the
Church
of
St.
Monica,'
I
said,
'and
I'll
pay
extra
if
you
get
there
in
twenty
minutes.'
It
was
twenty-five
minutes
to
twelve,
and
it
was
clear
what
was
happening."
"My
cabbie
drove
fast,
faster
than
I'd
ever
experienced,
but
the
others
arrived
before
us.
The
cab
and
landau
with
steaming
horses
were
at
the
door
when
I
got
there.
I
paid
the
driver
and
hurried
into
the
church.
No
one
was
there
except
the
two
I
followed
and
a
clergyman
in
a
surplice,
who
seemed
to
be
discussing
something
with
them.
They
stood
together
in
front
of
the
altar.
I
walked
up
the
side
aisle
like
an
idle
visitor.
Suddenly,
to
my
surprise,
they
all
turned
to
me,
and
Godfrey
Norton
ran
towards
me."
"'Thank
God,'
he
shouted.
'You'll
do.
Come
quickly!'"
"'What
for?'
I
asked."
"'Hurry,
man,
only
three
minutes
left,
or
it
won't
be
legal.'"
"I
was
half-dragged
to
the
altar,
and
before
I
knew
it,
I
was
mumbling
responses
whispered
in
my
ear,
agreeing
to
things
I
knew
nothing
about,
and
helping
to
marry
Irene
Adler,
spinster,
to
Godfrey
Norton,
bachelor.
It
happened
so
fast,
and
there
they
were,
thanking
me
on
both
sides,
while
the
clergyman
smiled
in
front.
It
was
the
strangest
situation
I
had
ever
been
in,
and
thinking
of
it
made
me
laugh.
It
seems
there
was
an
issue
with
their
license,
and
the
clergyman
refused
to
marry
them
without
a
witness.
My
lucky
appearance
saved
the
groom
from
searching
the
streets
for
a
best
man.
The
bride
gave
me
a
sovereign,
and
I
plan
to
wear
it
on
my
watch
chain
to
remember
the
occasion."
"This
is
a
very
unexpected
turn
of
events,"
I
said,
"and
what
happened
next?"
"Well,
my
plans
were
at
risk.
It
seemed
they
might
leave
immediately,
which
would
need
quick
action
from
me.
But
at
the
church
door,
they
parted
ways,
he
went
back
to
the
Temple,
and
she
returned
home.
'I
will
drive
in
the
park
at
five
as
usual,'
she
said
as
she
left
him.
I
heard
nothing
more.
They
drove
away
separately,
and
I
went
to
make
my
own
plans."
