A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 7
"And
I."
"Please
excuse
this
mask,"
continued
our
unusual
guest.
"The
important
person
who
employs
me
wants
his
agent
to
remain
unknown
to
you,
and
I
must
admit
that
the
title
I
just
used
isn't
exactly
mine."
"I
was
aware
of
that,"
said
Holmes
dryly.
"The
situation
is
very
delicate,
and
every
precaution
must
be
taken
to
prevent
what
could
become
a
huge
scandal
and
seriously
compromise
one
of
the
reigning
families
of
Europe.
To
be
direct,
the
matter
involves
the
great
House
of
Ormstein,
hereditary
kings
of
Bohemia."
"I
was
also
aware
of
that,"
murmured
Holmes,
settling
into
his
armchair
and
closing
his
eyes.
Our
visitor
looked
with
some
apparent
surprise
at
the
relaxed
figure
of
the
man
who
had
undoubtedly
been
described
to
him
as
the
sharpest
reasoner
and
most
active
agent
in
Europe.
Holmes
slowly
reopened
his
eyes
and
looked
impatiently
at
his
enormous
client.
"If
your
Majesty
would
kindly
state
your
case,"
he
remarked,
"I
would
be
better
able
to
advise
you."
The
man
jumped
from
his
chair
and
paced
up
and
down
the
room
in
uncontrollable
agitation.
Then,
with
a
desperate
gesture,
he
tore
the
mask
from
his
face
and
threw
it
on
the
ground.
"You
are
right,"
he
cried;
"I
am
the
King.
Why
should
I
try
to
hide
it?"
