Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Capítulo 12, Página 1
"To
someone
who
loves
art
for
its
own
sake,"
said
Sherlock
Holmes,
putting
aside
the
advertisement
page
of
The
Daily
Telegraph,
"the
greatest
pleasure
often
comes
from
the
simplest
things.
I
am
glad
to
see,
Watson,
that
you
understand
this
well.
In
your
records
of
our
cases,
you
have
focused
not
on
the
famous
trials
but
on
the
small
incidents.
These
may
seem
trivial,
but
they
show
the
skills
of
deduction
and
logical
thinking
that
I
have
developed."
"Still,"
I
said
with
a
smile,
"I
can't
completely
deny
the
charge
of
sensationalism
in
my
records."
"You
may
have
made
a
mistake,"
he
said,
picking
up
a
hot
cinder
with
the
tongs
and
lighting
his
long
cherry-wood
pipe.
"You
might
have
tried
too
hard
to
make
each
statement
colorful
and
lively,
instead
of
sticking
to
the
logical
reasoning
from
cause
to
effect,
which
is
the
most
important
part."
"I
believe
I
have
shown
your
work
fairly,"
I
replied
coldly,
feeling
a
bit
put
off
by
the
egotism
I
often
noticed
in
my
friend's
unique
character.
"It's
not
selfishness
or
vanity,"
he
said,
as
if
reading
my
thoughts.
"If
I
ask
for
fairness,
it's
because
my
art
is
something
beyond
myself.
Crime
is
common,
but
logic
is
rare.
So
you
should
focus
more
on
the
logic
than
on
the
crime.
You've
turned
what
could
have
been
a
series
of
lectures
into
a
set
of
stories."
It
was
a
cold
morning
in
early
spring,
and
we
sat
after
breakfast
by
a
warm
fire
in
our
old
room
at
Baker
Street.
A
thick
fog
covered
the
streets,
making
the
windows
across
the
way
look
like
dark,
blurry
shapes.
Our
gas
was
lit,
shining
on
the
white
tablecloth
and
the
dishes,
as
the
table
had
not
been
cleared
yet.
Sherlock
Holmes
had
been
quiet
all
morning,
reading
the
advertisement
sections
of
several
newspapers.
Finally,
he
gave
up
his
search
and
began
to
lecture
me
on
my
writing
faults.
"However,"
he
said
after
a
pause,
while
puffing
on
his
pipe
and
looking
into
the
fire,
"you
can't
be
accused
of
sensationalism.
Many
of
the
cases
you've
written
about
don't
involve
crime
in
the
legal
sense.
The
case
with
the
King
of
Bohemia,
Miss
Mary
Sutherland's
experience,
the
man
with
the
twisted
lip,
and
the
noble
bachelor
were
all
outside
the
law.
But
in
avoiding
sensationalism,
you
might
have
focused
too
much
on
the
trivial."
"That
may
be
true,"
I
replied,
"but
I
believe
the
methods
were
new
and
interesting."
