Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Capítulo 4, Página 1
One
morning,
my
wife
and
I
were
having
breakfast
when
the
maid
brought
in
a
telegram.
It
was
from
Sherlock
Holmes
and
it
read:
“Do
you
have
a
couple
of
days
free?
I’ve
been
called
to
the
west
of
England
for
the
Boscombe
Valley
tragedy.
I’d
be
glad
if
you
could
come
with
me.
The
air
and
scenery
are
perfect.
Leave
Paddington
by
the
11:.”
“What
do
you
think,
dear?”
my
wife
asked,
looking
at
me.
“Will
you
go?”
“I’m
not
sure
what
to
say.
I
have
quite
a
long
list
of
things
to
do.”
“Oh,
Anstruther
can
do
your
work
for
you.
You’ve
been
looking
a
bit
pale
lately.
I
think
a
change
would
do
you
good,
and
you
always
enjoy
Mr.
Sherlock
Holmes’
cases.”
“I’d
be
ungrateful
if
I
didn’t,
considering
what
I
gained
from
one
of
them,”
I
replied.
“But
if
I’m
going,
I
must
pack
now
because
I
only
have
half
an
hour.”
My
time
in
Afghanistan
had
at
least
made
me
a
quick
and
ready
traveler.
I
didn’t
need
much,
so
in
less
time
than
I
thought,
I
was
in
a
cab
with
my
bag,
heading
to
Paddington
Station.
Sherlock
Holmes
was
walking
up
and
down
the
platform,
his
tall,
thin
figure
looking
even
taller
in
his
long
grey
traveling
cloak
and
close-fitting
cap.
“It’s
really
kind
of
you
to
come,
Watson,”
he
said.
“Having
someone
I
can
rely
on
makes
a
big
difference.
Local
help
is
always
either
useless
or
biased.
If
you
keep
the
two
corner
seats,
I’ll
get
the
tickets.”
