The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Capítulo 12, Página 13
"They
always
unsettle
me.
In
my
experience,
Watson,
the
worst
alleys
in
London
don't
have
a
worse
record
of
sin
than
the
beautiful
countryside."
"You
shock
me!"
"The
reason
is
clear.
Public
opinion
in
the
city
can
do
what
the
law
sometimes
can't.
No
alley
is
so
bad
that
the
scream
of
a
child
or
the
sound
of
a
drunk's
blow
doesn't
cause
outrage
among
neighbors.
The
justice
system
is
so
close
that
a
complaint
quickly
leads
to
action.
But
look
at
these
lonely
houses,
each
in
its
fields,
mostly
with
poor,
ignorant
people
who
know
little
of
the
law.
Think
of
the
cruelty
and
hidden
evil
that
could
go
on
for
years
without
anyone
knowing.
If
this
lady
had
moved
to
Winchester,
I
wouldn't
worry.
It's
the
five
miles
of
countryside
that
create
the
danger.
Still,
she
isn't
personally
threatened."
"No.
If
she
can
meet
us
in
Winchester,
she
can
leave."
"Exactly.
She
has
her
freedom."
"What
could
be
the
issue,
then?
Can
you
guess?"
"I
have
thought
of
seven
possible
explanations,
each
fitting
the
facts
we
know.
But
which
is
correct
will
only
be
clear
with
more
information,
which
we
will
surely
find
waiting
for
us.
Look,
there's
the
cathedral
tower,
and
soon
we'll
hear
what
Miss
Hunter
has
to
say."
The
Black
Swan
is
a
well-known
inn
on
the
High
Street,
not
far
from
the
station,
and
we
found
the
young
lady
waiting
for
us
there.
She
had
booked
a
sitting
room,
and
lunch
was
ready
on
the
table.
