Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 8
"Why,
indeed?"
murmured
Holmes.
"Your
Majesty
hadn't
spoken
before
I
knew
I
was
addressing
Wilhelm
Gottsreich
Sigismond
von
Ormstein,
Grand
Duke
of
Cassel-Felstein,
and
hereditary
King
of
Bohemia."
"But
you
can
understand,"
said
our
unusual
visitor,
sitting
down
again
and
passing
his
hand
over
his
high
white
forehead,
"you
can
understand
that
I'm
not
used
to
handling
such
matters
in
person.
Yet
the
issue
was
so
delicate
that
I
couldn't
trust
it
to
an
agent
without
putting
myself
in
his
power.
I've
come
incognito
from
Prague
to
consult
you."
"Then,
please
consult,"
said
Holmes,
closing
his
eyes
once
more.
"The
facts
are
simple:
About
five
years
ago,
during
a
long
visit
to
Warsaw,
I
met
the
well-known
adventuress,
Irene
Adler.
You
probably
know
the
name."
"Please
look
her
up
in
my
index,
Doctor,"
murmured
Holmes
without
opening
his
eyes.
For
many
years,
he
had
developed
a
system
of
cataloging
all
paragraphs
about
people
and
things,
so
it
was
hard
to
name
a
subject
or
person
on
which
he
couldn't
immediately
provide
information.
In
this
case,
I
found
her
biography
between
that
of
a
Hebrew
rabbi
and
a
staff-commander
who
had
written
a
monograph
on
deep-sea
fishes.
"Let
me
see!"
said
Holmes.
"Hmm!
Born
in
New
Jersey
in
1858.
Contralto—hmm!
La
Scala,
hmm!
Prima
donna
Imperial
Opera
of
Warsaw—yes!
Retired
from
the
opera
stage—ha!
Living
in
London—quite
so!
Your
Majesty,
as
I
understand,
got
involved
with
this
young
woman,
wrote
her
some
compromising
letters,
and
now
wants
those
letters
back."
"Exactly.
But
how—"
"Was
there
a
secret
marriage?"
