The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 6
"Now,
let
me
tell
you
about
Mary.
She's
my
niece,
but
I
adopted
her
when
my
brother
died
five
years
ago.
She's
like
a
daughter
to
me.
She's
a
joy
in
our
home—kind,
loving,
beautiful,
and
a
great
housekeeper.
She's
essential
to
me.
Only
once
has
she
gone
against
my
wishes.
Arthur
proposed
to
her
twice,
but
she
refused
both
times.
I
believe
she
could
have
guided
him
well,
and
marriage
might
have
changed
him.
But
now
it's
too
late."
"Now
you
know
about
the
people
in
my
home,
Mr.
Holmes.
I'll
continue
with
my
sad
story."
"After
dinner
that
night,
as
we
had
coffee
in
the
drawing-room,
I
told
Arthur
and
Mary
about
the
valuable
item
we
had,
without
mentioning
my
client's
name.
Lucy
Parr,
who
served
the
coffee,
had
left
the
room,
but
I
can't
be
sure
the
door
was
closed.
Mary
and
Arthur
were
interested
and
wanted
to
see
the
coronet,
but
I
decided
not
to
disturb
it."
"Where
did
you
put
it?"
Arthur
asked.
"In
my
bureau,"
I
replied.
"I
hope
the
house
won't
be
burgled
tonight,"
he
said.
"It's
locked
up,"
I
assured
him.
"Any
old
key
can
open
that
bureau.
When
I
was
young,
I
opened
it
with
the
key
from
the
box-room
cupboard."
