Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Red-Headed League
Capítulo 2, Página 7
"'And
what
are
they
worth?'
I
asked."
"'Oh,
just
a
couple
of
hundred
a
year,
but
the
work
is
easy
and
doesn't
interfere
much
with
other
jobs.'"
"You
can
imagine
that
made
me
interested
since
my
business
hasn't
been
great
for
years,
and
an
extra
couple
of
hundred
would
be
very
useful."
"'Tell
me
all
about
it,'
I
said."
"'Well,'
he
said,
showing
me
the
advertisement,
'you
can
see
there's
a
vacancy,
and
there's
the
address
to
apply.
The
League
was
started
by
an
American
millionaire,
Ezekiah
Hopkins,
who
was
red-headed
himself.
He
left
his
fortune
to
help
red-headed
men
get
easy
jobs.
From
what
I
hear,
it's
great
pay
and
not
much
work.'"
"'But,'
I
said,
'there
must
be
millions
of
red-headed
men
applying.'"
"'Not
as
many
as
you
think,'
he
replied.
'It's
only
for
Londoners
and
grown
men.
This
American
started
from
London
and
wanted
to
give
back
to
the
city.
Also,
your
hair
must
be
a
bright,
fiery
red.
If
you
apply,
Mr.
Wilson,
you'd
have
a
good
chance,
but
it
might
not
be
worth
the
trouble
for
just
a
few
hundred
pounds.'"
"Well,
gentlemen,
as
you
can
see,
my
hair
is
quite
red,
so
I
thought
I
had
a
good
chance.
Vincent
Spaulding
seemed
to
know
a
lot
about
it,
so
I
told
him
to
close
the
shop
for
the
day
and
come
with
me.
He
was
happy
to
have
a
holiday,
so
we
shut
the
business
and
went
to
the
address
in
the
advertisement."
