Capítulo 10, Página 3
“‘MY
DEAR
MR.
SHERLOCK
HOLMES,—Lord
Backwater
tells
me
I
can
trust
your
judgment
and
discretion.
So,
I
have
decided
to
come
to
you
for
advice
about
a
very
upsetting
event
related
to
my
wedding.
Mr.
Lestrade
from
Scotland
Yard
is
already
involved,
but
he
says
he
doesn’t
mind
you
helping,
and
he
even
thinks
you
might
be
useful.
I
will
come
at
four
o’clock
in
the
afternoon,
and
I
hope
you
can
see
me
then,
as
this
matter
is
very
important.
Yours
faithfully,’”
“‘ROBERT
ST.
SIMON.’”
“The
letter
is
from
Grosvenor
Mansions,
written
with
a
quill
pen.
The
noble
lord
accidentally
smeared
ink
on
his
right
little
finger,”
Holmes
said
as
he
folded
the
letter.
“He
says
four
o’clock.
It’s
three
now.
He’ll
be
here
in
an
hour.”
“Then
we
have
just
enough
time,
with
your
help,
to
understand
the
situation.
Look
through
those
papers
and
put
the
reports
in
order,
while
I
check
who
our
client
is.”
He
took
a
book
from
the
shelf.
“Here
he
is,”
he
said,
sitting
down.
“‘Lord
Robert
Walsingham
de
Vere
St.
Simon,
second
son
of
the
Duke
of
Balmoral.’
Hmm.
‘Arms:
Azure,
three
caltrops
in
chief
over
a
fess
sable.
Born
in
1846.’
He’s
forty-one,
quite
mature
for
marriage.
He
was
Under-Secretary
for
the
colonies
in
a
past
government.
His
father
was
once
Secretary
for
Foreign
Affairs.
They
have
royal
blood
from
both
Plantagenet
and
Tudor
lines.
Well,
nothing
very
useful
here.
I’ll
need
your
help,
Watson,
for
more
details.”
“I
found
what
I
need
easily,”
I
said,
“because
the
facts
are
recent,
and
the
case
is
unusual.
I
didn’t
mention
it
before
because
I
knew
you
were
busy
with
another
investigation
and
didn’t
like
distractions.”
“Oh,
you
mean
the
small
problem
with
the
furniture
van
in
Grosvenor
Square.
That’s
all
solved
now—it
was
obvious
from
the
start.
Please,
tell
me
what
you
found
in
the
newspapers.”
“Here
is
the
first
notice
I
found.
It’s
in
the
personal
column
of
the
Morning
Post
from
a
few
weeks
ago:
‘A
marriage
has
been
arranged,’
it
says,
‘and
will,
if
rumor
is
correct,
soon
happen
between
Lord
Robert
St.
Simon,
second
son
of
the
Duke
of
Balmoral,
and
Miss
Hatty
Doran,
the
only
daughter
of
Aloysius
Doran,
Esq.,
of
San
Francisco,
Cal.,
U.
S.
A.’
That’s
all.”
