A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 31
"And
the
papers?"
asked
the
King
anxiously.
"Is
everything
lost?"
"We
shall
see."
Holmes
pushed
past
the
servant
and
ran
into
the
drawing-room,
with
the
King
and
me
following.
The
furniture
was
scattered
everywhere,
with
shelves
and
drawers
open,
as
if
the
lady
had
searched
them
quickly
before
leaving.
Holmes
went
to
the
bell-pull,
opened
a
small
sliding
panel,
and
took
out
a
photograph
and
a
letter.
The
photograph
was
of
Irene
Adler
in
evening
dress,
and
the
letter
was
addressed
to
"Sherlock
Holmes,
Esq.
To
be
left
till
called
for."
My
friend
opened
it,
and
we
all
read
it
together.
It
was
dated
at
midnight
the
night
before
and
said:
"MY
DEAR
MR.
SHERLOCK
HOLMES,—You
did
very
well.
You
fooled
me
completely.
Until
after
the
fire
alarm,
I
had
no
idea.
But
then,
when
I
realized
how
I
had
revealed
myself,
I
started
to
think.
I
was
warned
about
you
months
ago.
I
was
told
that
if
the
King
used
an
agent,
it
would
be
you.
I
even
had
your
address.
Yet,
you
made
me
show
what
you
wanted
to
know.
Even
after
I
became
suspicious,
it
was
hard
to
think
badly
of
such
a
kind
old
clergyman.
But,
you
know,
I
have
been
an
actress
myself.
Male
costume
is
not
new
to
me.
I
often
use
the
freedom
it
gives.
I
sent
John,
the
coachman,
to
watch
you,
ran
upstairs,
changed
clothes,
and
came
down
as
you
left.
I
followed
you
to
your
door,
to
be
sure
I
was
of
interest
to
the
famous
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes.
Then
I,
rather
foolishly,
wished
you
good
night
and
went
to
see
my
husband.
We
both
thought
the
best
solution
was
to
leave,
pursued
by
such
a
strong
opponent;
so
you
will
find
the
place
empty
when
you
visit
tomorrow.
As
for
the
photograph,
your
client
can
be
at
ease.
I
love
and
am
loved
by
a
better
man
than
he.
The
King
can
do
what
he
wants
without
trouble
from
someone
he
has
wronged.
I
keep
it
only
to
protect
myself
and
as
a
weapon
to
ensure
he
doesn't
act
against
me
in
the
future.
I
leave
a
photograph
he
might
want;
and
I
remain,
dear
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes,"
"Very
truly
yours,
IRENE
NORTON,
née
ADLER."
"What
a
woman—oh,
what
a
woman!"
cried
the
King
of
Bohemia,
after
we
all
read
the
letter.
"Didn't
I
tell
you
how
quick
and
determined
she
was?
Wouldn't
she
have
made
a
wonderful
queen?
Isn't
it
a
pity
she
wasn't
of
my
rank?"
"From
what
I've
seen
of
her,
she
seems
to
be
on
a
very
different
level
from
your
Majesty,"
said
Holmes
coldly.
"I'm
sorry
I
couldn't
bring
your
business
to
a
more
successful
end."
"On
the
contrary,
my
dear
sir,"
cried
the
King;
"nothing
could
be
more
successful.
I
know
her
word
is
trustworthy.
The
photograph
is
as
safe
as
if
it
were
burned."
"I'm
glad
to
hear
you
say
that,
Your
Majesty."
