Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 4
I
carefully
examined
the
writing
and
the
paper
it
was
written
on.
“The
man
who
wrote
it
was
presumably
well-to-do,”
I
remarked,
trying
to
imitate
my
companion’s
methods.
“Such
paper
couldn't
be
bought
for
less
than
half
a
crown
a
packet.
It's
particularly
strong
and
stiff.”
"Peculiar—that
is
the
right
word,"
said
Holmes.
"This
isn't
English
paper
at
all.
Hold
it
up
to
the
light."
I
did,
and
I
saw
a
large
"E"
with
a
small
"g,"
a
"P,"
and
a
large
"G"
with
a
small
"t"
woven
into
the
paper's
texture.
"What
do
you
make
of
that?"
Holmes
asked.
"It's
probably
the
maker's
name,
or
his
monogram."
"Not
at
all.
The
'G'
with
the
small
't'
stands
for
'Gesellschaft,'
which
is
German
for
'Company.'
It's
a
usual
abbreviation,
like
our
'Co.'
'P'
stands
for
'Papier.'
Now
for
the
'Eg.'
Let's
check
our
Continental
Gazetteer."
He
took
a
heavy
brown
book
from
his
shelf.
"Eglow,
Eglonitz—here
we
are,
Egria.
It's
in
a
German-speaking
area—in
Bohemia,
near
Carlsbad.
'Known
for
Wallenstein's
death
scene
and
its
many
glass
and
paper
factories.'
Ha,
ha,
my
boy,
what
do
you
make
of
that?"
His
eyes
sparkled,
and
he
blew
out
a
big
blue
cloud
from
his
cigarette.
"The
paper
was
made
in
Bohemia,"
I
said.
