Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 2
"It
was
from
the
royal
family
of
Holland.
The
matter
I
helped
them
with
was
so
sensitive
that
I
can't
even
tell
you,
though
you've
written
about
some
of
my
cases."
"Do
you
have
any
cases
now?"
I
asked
with
interest.
"About
ten
or
twelve,
but
none
are
very
interesting.
They
are
important,
but
not
exciting.
I've
found
that
less
important
cases
are
better
for
observing
and
analyzing
cause
and
effect,
which
makes
investigations
interesting.
Bigger
crimes
are
usually
simpler
because
the
motive
is
clearer.
Except
for
one
complicated
case
from
Marseilles,
there's
nothing
interesting.
But
I
might
have
something
soon,
as
one
of
my
clients
is
coming,
if
I'm
not
mistaken."
He
stood
up
and
looked
out
the
window
at
the
dull
London
street.
I
saw
a
large
woman
with
a
fur
boa
and
a
big
red
feather
in
her
hat.
She
looked
nervously
at
our
window
and
played
with
her
glove
buttons.
Suddenly,
she
hurried
across
the
street,
and
we
heard
the
doorbell
ring.
"I've
seen
those
signs
before,"
said
Holmes,
throwing
his
cigarette
into
the
fire.
"Hesitating
on
the
pavement
usually
means
a
love
affair.
She
wants
advice
but
isn't
sure
if
it's
too
sensitive
to
share.
When
a
woman
is
seriously
wronged,
she
doesn't
hesitate,
and
the
bell
wire
is
usually
broken.
This
is
a
love
matter,
but
she's
more
confused
or
sad
than
angry.
But
here
she
comes
to
clear
our
doubts."
As
he
spoke,
there
was
a
knock
at
the
door,
and
the
boy
announced
Miss
Mary
Sutherland.
She
followed
him
like
a
large
ship
behind
a
small
boat.
Sherlock
Holmes
welcomed
her
with
his
usual
polite
manner,
closed
the
door,
and
showed
her
to
a
chair,
studying
her
in
his
unique
way.
"Don't
you
find,"
he
said,
"that
with
your
short
sight,
it's
hard
to
do
so
much
typing?"
"I
did
at
first,"
she
answered,
"but
now
I
know
where
the
keys
are
without
looking."
Then,
realizing
what
he
meant,
she
looked
up
in
surprise.
"You've
heard
about
me,
Mr.
Holmes,"
she
cried,
"or
how
could
you
know
that?"
