A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 8
"Why,
indeed?"
murmured
Holmes.
"Your
Majesty
hadn't
spoken
before
I
knew
I
was
addressing
Wilhelm
Gottsreich
Sigismond
von
Ormstein,
Grand
Duke
of
Cassel-Felstein,
and
hereditary
King
of
Bohemia."
"But
you
see,"
said
our
unusual
guest,
sitting
down
again
and
touching
his
high
white
forehead,
"I'm
not
used
to
handling
such
business
personally.
Yet
it
was
so
delicate
I
couldn't
trust
an
agent
without
risking
myself.
I've
come
in
secret
from
Prague
to
consult
you."
"Then,
please
consult,"
said
Holmes,
closing
his
eyes
again.
"The
facts
are
simple:
About
five
years
ago,
during
a
long
visit
to
Warsaw,
I
met
the
famous
adventuress,
Irene
Adler.
You
probably
know
the
name."
"Check
her
in
my
index,
Doctor,"
murmured
Holmes
without
opening
his
eyes.
For
years,
he
had
kept
a
system
of
filing
all
notes
about
people
and
things,
so
it
was
hard
to
name
a
subject
or
person
he
couldn't
find
information
on
quickly.
In
this
case,
I
found
her
biography
between
a
Hebrew
rabbi
and
a
staff-commander
who
wrote
about
deep-sea
fish.
"Let
me
see!"
said
Holmes.
"Hmm!
Born
in
New
Jersey
in
1858.
Contralto—hmm!
La
Scala,
hmm!
Prima
donna
Imperial
Opera
of
Warsaw—yes!
Retired
from
opera—ha!
Living
in
London—exactly!
Your
Majesty,
as
I
understand,
got
involved
with
this
young
woman,
wrote
her
some
compromising
letters,
and
now
wants
them
back."
"Exactly.
But
how—"
"Was
there
a
secret
marriage?"
