The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 3
"I
know
time
is
important,"
he
said,
"so
I
rushed
here
when
the
police
inspector
suggested
I
get
your
help.
I
came
to
Baker
Street
by
the
Underground
and
hurried
on
foot
because
cabs
are
slow
in
this
snow.
That's
why
I
was
out
of
breath;
I
don't
exercise
much.
I
feel
better
now,
and
I'll
tell
you
the
facts
as
clearly
as
I
can."
"You
know
that
in
a
successful
bank,
we
must
find
good
investments
for
our
money
as
well
as
increase
our
connections
and
depositors.
One
of
our
best
ways
to
use
money
is
through
loans,
where
the
security
is
strong.
We've
done
a
lot
of
this
recently,
and
we've
lent
large
sums
to
many
noble
families
using
their
valuables
as
security."
"Yesterday
morning,
I
was
in
my
office
at
the
bank
when
a
card
was
brought
to
me
by
a
clerk.
I
was
surprised
to
see
the
name,
as
it
belonged
to
someone
whose
name
is
known
worldwide—one
of
the
highest
and
most
noble
names
in
England.
I
was
honored
and
tried
to
say
so
when
he
entered,
but
he
quickly
started
talking
business,
like
a
man
wanting
to
finish
an
unpleasant
task."
"'Mr.
Holder,'
he
said,
'I've
heard
that
you
often
advance
money.'"
"'The
firm
does
when
the
security
is
good,'
I
replied."
"'I
urgently
need
£50,'
he
said.
'I
could
easily
borrow
such
a
small
amount
from
friends,
but
I
prefer
to
handle
it
as
business
myself.
You
can
understand
that
in
my
position,
it's
unwise
to
owe
favors.'"
"'How
long
do
you
need
this
money?'
I
asked."
"'Next
Monday,
I
will
receive
a
large
sum,
and
I
will
certainly
repay
you
with
interest.
But
it's
crucial
that
I
get
the
money
now.'"
