Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Adventure of the Speckled Band
Capítulo 8, Página 15
"Imagine
him
confusing
me
with
the
official
detectives!
This
makes
our
investigation
more
exciting.
I
hope
our
friend
doesn’t
suffer
because
he
followed
her.
Now,
Watson,
let’s
have
breakfast,
then
I’ll
go
to
Doctors’
Commons
to
find
some
information."
It
was
almost
one
o’clock
when
Sherlock
Holmes
came
back.
He
held
a
blue
paper
full
of
notes
and
numbers.
"I’ve
seen
the
will
of
the
dead
wife,"
he
said.
"To
understand
it,
I
worked
out
the
current
investment
prices.
The
income,
which
was
nearly
£1,000
when
she
died,
is
now
only
£750
due
to
falling
agricultural
prices.
Each
daughter
can
claim
£250
if
they
marry.
If
both
married,
he’d
have
very
little,
and
even
one
marriage
would
hurt
him
financially.
This
morning’s
work
shows
he
has
strong
reasons
to
stop
any
marriage.
Now,
Watson,
this
is
serious.
The
old
man
knows
we’re
interested
in
his
affairs,
so
if
you’re
ready,
let’s
take
a
cab
to
Waterloo.
Please
bring
your
revolver.
An
Eley’s
No.
2
is
useful
against
men
who
bend
pokers.
That
and
a
toothbrush
are
all
we
need."
At
Waterloo,
we
caught
a
train
to
Leatherhead,
where
we
hired
a
carriage
and
drove
through
the
beautiful
Surrey
lanes.
The
day
was
perfect,
with
bright
sun
and
a
few
clouds.
Trees
and
hedges
were
just
turning
green,
and
the
air
smelled
fresh.
The
lovely
spring
day
seemed
strange
compared
to
our
dark
mission.
My
companion
sat
quietly,
deep
in
thought,
until
he
suddenly
tapped
my
shoulder
and
pointed.
"Look
there!"
he
said.
A
park
with
many
trees
rose
gently,
becoming
a
grove
at
the
top.
Among
the
branches,
we
saw
the
old
mansion’s
grey
gables
and
high
roof.
"Stoke
Moran?"
he
asked.
"Yes,
sir,
that’s
Dr.
Grimesby
Roylott’s
house,"
the
driver
said.
