The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 4
"'I'd
be
happy
to
give
it
from
my
own
money,'
I
said,
'but
it
would
be
too
much
for
me.
If
I
do
it
for
the
firm,
I
must
insist
on
all
business
precautions,
even
in
your
case,
to
be
fair
to
my
partner.'"
"'I
prefer
it
that
way,'
he
said,
lifting
a
black
case
he
had
beside
him.
'You've
surely
heard
of
the
Beryl
Coronet?'"
"'One
of
the
empire's
most
valuable
public
treasures,'
I
said."
"'Exactly.'
He
opened
the
case,
and
there,
on
soft
velvet,
lay
the
magnificent
jewelry
he
mentioned.
'There
are
thirty-nine
large
beryls,'
he
said,
'and
the
gold
work
is
priceless.
Even
the
lowest
estimate
would
value
the
coronet
at
twice
what
I'm
asking.
I'm
ready
to
leave
it
with
you
as
security.'"
"I
took
the
precious
case
and
looked
from
it
to
my
important
client,
feeling
uncertain."
"'Do
you
doubt
its
value?'
he
asked."
"'Not
at
all.
I
only
doubt—'"
"You
can
relax
about
me
leaving
it
here.
I
wouldn't
do
it
unless
I
was
sure
I
could
get
it
back
in
four
days.
It's
just
a
formality.
Is
the
security
enough?"
