The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Capítulo 10, Página 1
The
marriage
of
Lord
St.
Simon
and
its
unusual
end
have
long
stopped
being
a
topic
of
interest
among
the
elite
circles
in
which
the
unlucky
groom
moves.
New
scandals
have
overshadowed
it,
and
their
more
exciting
details
have
drawn
gossip
away
from
this
four-year-old
drama.
However,
I
believe
the
full
facts
have
never
been
revealed
to
the
public,
and
since
my
friend
Sherlock
Holmes
played
a
significant
role
in
solving
the
matter,
I
feel
no
account
of
him
would
be
complete
without
some
description
of
this
remarkable
episode.
It
was
a
few
weeks
before
my
own
wedding,
during
the
time
I
was
still
sharing
rooms
with
Holmes
on
Baker
Street,
that
he
returned
from
an
afternoon
walk
to
find
a
letter
on
the
table
waiting
for
him.
I
had
stayed
indoors
all
day
because
the
weather
had
suddenly
turned
rainy
with
strong
autumn
winds,
and
the
jezail
bullet
I
had
brought
back
in
one
of
my
limbs
from
my
Afghan
campaign
throbbed
persistently.
With
my
body
in
one
easy-chair
and
my
legs
on
another,
I
had
surrounded
myself
with
a
pile
of
newspapers
until,
finally
overwhelmed
by
the
day's
news,
I
tossed
them
aside
and
lay
back,
watching
the
large
crest
and
monogram
on
the
envelope
on
the
table,
wondering
lazily
who
my
friend’s
noble
correspondent
could
be.
“Here
is
a
very
fashionable
letter,”
I
said
as
he
entered.
“Your
morning
letters,
if
I
recall
correctly,
were
from
a
fishmonger
and
a
tide-waiter.”
“Yes,
my
correspondence
certainly
has
the
charm
of
variety,”
he
replied,
smiling,
“and
the
more
humble
ones
are
usually
the
more
interesting.
This
looks
like
one
of
those
unwelcome
social
invitations
which
require
a
man
to
either
be
bored
or
to
lie.”
He
broke
the
seal
and
skimmed
the
contents.
“Oh,
come,
it
might
turn
out
to
be
something
interesting
after
all.”
“Not
a
social
matter,
then?”
“No,
clearly
professional.”
