Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Capítulo 4, Página 15
"I
can't
admire
his
taste,"
I
said,
"if
he
really
doesn't
want
to
marry
such
a
charming
lady
as
Miss
Turner."
"There's
a
painful
story
there.
He's
madly
in
love
with
her,
but
two
years
ago,
before
he
knew
her
well,
he
got
involved
with
a
barmaid
in
Bristol
and
married
her
secretly.
No
one
knows,
but
you
can
imagine
how
it
feels
for
him
to
be
blamed
for
not
marrying
Miss
Turner
when
he
wishes
he
could.
His
father
didn't
know
about
the
barmaid
and
would
have
disowned
him
if
he
did.
He
spent
the
last
three
days
with
her
in
Bristol,
and
his
father
didn't
know
where
he
was.
That's
important.
But
good
has
come
from
this
mess.
The
barmaid,
seeing
he's
in
trouble
and
might
be
hanged,
has
left
him.
She
wrote
that
she's
already
married
to
someone
else,
so
there's
no
real
bond
between
them.
I
think
this
news
has
comforted
young
McCarthy."
"But
if
he's
innocent,
who
did
it?"
"Ah!
Who
indeed?
Pay
attention
to
two
points.
The
murdered
man
had
a
meeting
at
the
pool
with
someone,
and
it
couldn't
have
been
his
son,
as
his
son
was
away
and
didn't
know
when
he'd
return.
Second,
the
man
was
heard
to
shout
'Cooee!'
before
he
knew
his
son
was
back.
These
are
the
key
points
of
the
case.
Now
let's
talk
about
George
Meredith,
and
we'll
leave
the
rest
for
tomorrow."
As
Holmes
predicted,
it
didn't
rain,
and
the
morning
was
bright
and
clear.
At
nine,
Lestrade
picked
us
up
with
a
carriage,
and
we
headed
to
Hatherley
Farm
and
Boscombe
Pool.
"There's
serious
news
today,"
Lestrade
said.
"Mr.
Turner
of
the
Hall
is
so
ill
that
his
life
is
in
danger."
"An
older
man,
I
assume?"
said
Holmes.
"About
sixty,
but
his
health
has
been
poor
due
to
his
life
abroad.
This
situation
has
made
it
worse.
He
was
an
old
friend
of
McCarthy's
and
a
great
help
to
him.
He
even
gave
him
Hatherley
Farm
rent-free."
