The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 5
"More
than
enough."
"Mr.
Holder,
I'm
showing
you
great
trust
based
on
what
I've
heard
about
you.
I
rely
on
you
to
be
discreet
and
not
talk
about
this
matter.
Most
importantly,
keep
this
coronet
safe
because
a
public
scandal
would
be
terrible
if
anything
happened
to
it.
Any
damage
would
be
as
bad
as
losing
it
since
there
are
no
other
beryls
like
these.
I
can't
replace
them.
I'm
confident
in
leaving
it
with
you,
and
I'll
come
to
pick
it
up
on
Monday
morning."
"Seeing
my
client
wanted
to
leave,
I
said
nothing
more.
I
called
my
cashier
and
told
him
to
give
fifty
£1000
notes.
Once
alone
with
the
valuable
case
on
the
table,
I
felt
the
heavy
responsibility
it
brought.
If
something
happened,
it
would
be
a
national
scandal.
I
regretted
agreeing
to
take
care
of
it.
But
it
was
too
late,
so
I
locked
it
in
my
private
safe
and
returned
to
work."
"In
the
evening,
I
realized
it
was
unwise
to
leave
such
a
valuable
thing
in
the
office.
Bank
safes
had
been
broken
into
before.
If
mine
was,
I
would
be
in
a
terrible
situation.
So,
I
decided
to
carry
the
case
with
me
for
the
next
few
days.
I
took
a
cab
to
my
house
in
Streatham,
carrying
the
jewel.
I
only
relaxed
after
locking
it
in
the
bureau
in
my
dressing
room."
"Now,
let
me
tell
you
about
my
household,
Mr.
Holmes,
so
you
understand
the
situation.
My
groom
and
page
sleep
outside
the
house,
so
we
can
ignore
them.
I
have
three
maid-servants
who
have
been
with
me
for
years
and
are
completely
trustworthy.
Another,
Lucy
Parr,
the
second
maid,
has
been
with
me
only
a
few
months.
She
came
with
good
references
and
has
always
done
well.
She's
very
pretty
and
has
admirers
who
sometimes
linger
around.
That's
the
only
problem
with
her,
but
we
believe
she's
a
good
girl."
"As
for
my
family,
it's
small
and
won't
take
long
to
describe.
I'm
a
widower
with
one
son,
Arthur.
He's
been
a
disappointment,
Mr.
Holmes—a
big
one.
I
know
it's
my
fault.
People
say
I've
spoiled
him,
and
I
probably
have.
When
my
wife
died,
he
was
all
I
had,
and
I
couldn't
stand
to
see
him
unhappy.
I
never
denied
him
anything.
Maybe
it
would
have
been
better
if
I
had
been
stricter,
but
I
meant
well."
"I
wanted
him
to
take
over
my
business,
but
he's
not
suited
for
it.
He's
wild
and
unreliable
with
money.
He
joined
an
elite
club
and
made
friends
with
wealthy
people.
He
started
gambling
and
spending
money
on
horses.
He
often
asked
me
for
more
money
to
pay
his
debts.
He
tried
to
leave
that
bad
company,
but
his
friend,
Sir
George
Burnwell,
always
pulled
him
back."
"I
understand
why
Sir
George
Burnwell
influenced
him.
He's
brought
him
to
my
house,
and
I
also
find
him
charming.
He's
older,
experienced,
a
great
talker,
and
very
handsome.
But
when
I
think
about
him
away
from
his
presence,
I
know
he's
not
to
be
trusted.
My
niece,
Mary,
also
feels
the
same.
She
has
a
woman's
instinct
for
character."
