The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Capítulo 10, Página 10
"Now,
what
is
your
impression
of
the
young
lady's—your
wife's
character?"
The
nobleman
swung
his
glasses
faster
and
looked
into
the
fire.
"You
see,
Mr.
Holmes,"
he
said,
"my
wife
was
twenty
before
her
father
became
rich.
During
that
time,
she
lived
freely
in
a
mining
camp
and
wandered
through
woods
and
mountains,
so
her
education
came
from
nature
rather
than
school.
She's
what
we
call
in
England
a
tomboy,
with
a
strong,
wild,
and
free
nature,
not
tied
by
traditions.
She's
impulsive—almost
volcanic.
She's
quick
to
decide
and
fearless
in
carrying
out
her
plans.
On
the
other
hand,
I
wouldn't
have
given
her
my
name"—he
gave
a
little
formal
cough—"if
I
didn't
think
she
was
a
noble
woman
at
heart.
I
believe
she's
capable
of
heroic
self-sacrifice
and
that
anything
dishonorable
would
be
against
her
nature."
"Do
you
have
her
photograph?"
"I
brought
this
with
me."
He
opened
a
locket
and
showed
us
the
face
of
a
very
beautiful
woman.
It
wasn't
a
photograph
but
an
ivory
miniature.
The
artist
had
captured
her
shiny
black
hair,
big
dark
eyes,
and
lovely
mouth.
Holmes
looked
at
it
for
a
long
time.
Then
he
closed
the
locket
and
gave
it
back
to
Lord
St.
Simon.
"The
young
lady
came
to
London,
and
you
met
her
again?"
"Yes,
her
father
brought
her
for
the
last
London
season.
I
met
her
several
times,
got
engaged
to
her,
and
now
we
are
married."
"She
brought
a
considerable
dowry,
I
understand?"
"A
fair
dowry.
It's
not
more
than
usual
in
my
family."
