Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 19
"It's
on
the
dressing-table."
Sherlock
Holmes
picked
it
up
and
opened
the
bureau.
"It's
a
silent
lock,"
he
said.
"No
wonder
it
didn't
wake
you.
This
case
must
have
the
coronet
inside.
Let's
take
a
look
at
it."
He
opened
the
case
and
took
out
the
diadem,
placing
it
on
the
table.
It
was
a
stunning
example
of
jewelry,
with
thirty-six
stones
that
were
the
best
I
had
ever
seen.
On
one
side,
the
coronet
had
a
broken
edge
where
three
gems
had
been
torn
away.
"Now,
Mr.
Holder,"
said
Holmes,
"here
is
the
corner
that
matches
the
one
that
was
lost.
Could
I
ask
you
to
break
it
off?"
The
banker
stepped
back
in
shock.
"I
would
never
dream
of
trying,"
he
said.
"Then
I
will."
Holmes
tried
to
break
it
with
all
his
strength,
but
nothing
happened.
"I
feel
it
giving
a
bit,"
he
said.
"But
even
with
my
strong
fingers,
it
would
take
a
long
time
to
break
it.
An
ordinary
person
couldn't
do
it.
Now,
what
do
you
think
would
happen
if
I
did
break
it,
Mr.
Holder?
It
would
sound
like
a
gunshot.
Are
you
telling
me
this
happened
near
your
bed,
and
you
heard
nothing?"
"I
don't
know
what
to
think.
Everything
is
confusing
to
me."
"But
maybe
things
will
become
clearer
as
we
go.
What
do
you
think,
Miss
Holder?"
