Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 26
“I
don’t
mean
to
be
mysterious,”
he
said,
laughing.
“It
was
perfectly
simple.
You
noticed
everyone
in
the
street
was
part
of
the
plan.
They
were
all
hired
for
the
evening.”
“I
suspected
that.”
“Then,
when
the
fight
started,
I
had
some
wet
red
paint
in
my
hand.
I
rushed
forward,
fell
down,
pressed
my
hand
to
my
face,
and
became
a
pitiful
sight.
It’s
an
old
trick.”
“That
much
I
understood.”
“Then
they
carried
me
inside.
She
had
no
choice
but
to
let
me
in.
What
else
could
she
do?
And
into
her
sitting-room,
which
was
the
exact
room
I
suspected.
It
was
between
that
and
her
bedroom,
and
I
was
determined
to
see
which.
They
laid
me
on
a
couch,
I
signaled
for
air,
they
had
to
open
the
window,
and
you
had
your
opportunity.”
“How
did
that
help
you?”
"It
was
crucial.
When
a
woman
thinks
her
house
is
on
fire,
her
instinct
is
to
rush
to
what
she
values
most.
It's
an
overwhelming
impulse,
and
I've
used
it
more
than
once.
In
the
Darlington
Substitution
Scandal
and
the
Arnsworth
Castle
affair,
it
was
useful.
A
married
woman
grabs
her
baby;
an
unmarried
one
reaches
for
her
jewel-box.
It
was
clear
to
me
that
today’s
lady
had
nothing
more
precious
in
her
house
than
what
we
were
after.
She
would
rush
to
secure
it.
The
fire
alarm
was
excellently
done.
The
smoke
and
shouting
were
enough
to
shake
even
the
steeliest
nerves.
She
responded
perfectly.
The
photograph
is
in
a
recess
behind
a
sliding
panel
just
above
the
right
bell-pull.
She
was
there
instantly,
and
I
glimpsed
it
as
she
half-drew
it
out.
When
I
shouted
it
was
a
false
alarm,
she
put
it
back,
glanced
at
the
rocket,
rushed
out,
and
I
haven't
seen
her
since.
I
stood
up,
made
my
excuses,
and
left
the
house.
I
hesitated
about
trying
to
get
the
photograph
right
away,
but
the
coachman
was
watching
me
closely,
so
waiting
seemed
safer.
A
little
haste
could
ruin
everything."
"And
now?"
I
asked.
