A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 4
I
carefully
looked
at
the
writing
and
the
paper
it
was
on.
"The
writer
was
probably
well-off,"
I
said,
trying
to
copy
Holmes’s
methods.
"Such
paper
costs
at
least
half
a
crown
a
packet.
It’s
very
strong
and
stiff."
"Strange—that's
the
right
word,"
said
Holmes.
"This
isn't
English
paper
at
all.
Hold
it
up
to
the
light."
I
did,
and
I
saw
a
big
"E"
with
a
small
"g,"
a
"P,"
and
a
big
"G"
with
a
small
"t"
in
the
paper.
"What
do
you
think
of
that?"
asked
Holmes.
"It's
probably
the
maker's
name
or
his
initials."
"Not
at
all.
The
'G'
with
the
small
't'
means
'Gesellschaft,'
which
is
German
for
'Company.'
It's
like
our
'Co.'
'P'
stands
for
'Papier.'
Now
for
the
'Eg.'
Let's
check
our
Continental
Gazetteer."
He
took
a
heavy
brown
book
from
his
shelf.
"Eglow,
Eglonitz—here
it
is,
Egria.
It's
in
a
German-speaking
area—in
Bohemia,
near
Carlsbad.
'Known
for
the
death
of
Wallenstein,
and
for
its
many
glass
factories
and
paper
mills.'
Ha,
ha,
my
boy,
what
do
you
think
of
that?"
His
eyes
sparkled,
and
he
blew
a
big
blue
cloud
from
his
cigarette.
"The
paper
was
made
in
Bohemia,"
I
said.
