The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Capítulo 10, Página 18
"It's
very
kind
of
Lord
St.
Simon
to
put
my
head
on
the
same
level
as
his,"
said
Sherlock
Holmes,
laughing.
"I
think
I'll
have
a
whisky
and
soda
and
a
cigar
after
all
these
questions.
I
had
my
conclusions
about
the
case
before
our
client
came
into
the
room."
"My
dear
Holmes!"
"I
have
notes
of
several
similar
cases,
though
none
as
quick
as
this
one.
My
whole
examination
turned
my
guess
into
a
certainty.
Circumstantial
evidence
can
be
very
convincing,
like
finding
a
trout
in
the
milk,
to
use
Thoreau's
example."
"But
I've
heard
everything
you
have
heard."
"Without,
however,
the
knowledge
of
earlier
cases,
which
helps
me
a
lot.
There
was
a
similar
case
in
Aberdeen
some
years
ago,
and
something
very
similar
in
Munich
after
the
Franco-Prussian
War.
It's
one
of
those
cases—but,
hello,
here
is
Lestrade!
Good
afternoon,
Lestrade!
You'll
find
an
extra
glass
on
the
sideboard,
and
there
are
cigars
in
the
box."
The
detective
wore
a
pea-jacket
and
a
cravat,
making
him
look
quite
nautical.
He
held
a
black
canvas
bag
in
his
hand.
He
greeted
us
briefly,
sat
down,
and
lit
the
cigar
we
offered
him.
“What’s
going
on?”
asked
Holmes
with
a
twinkle
in
his
eye.
“You
seem
unhappy.”
“And
I
am
unhappy.
It’s
this
St.
Simon
marriage
case.
I
can’t
make
sense
of
it.”
