Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Capítulo 10, Página 10
"Now,
what
is
your
impression
of
the
young
lady’s—your
wife’s
character?"
The
nobleman
swung
his
glasses
a
bit
faster
and
stared
into
the
fire.
"You
see,
Mr.
Holmes,"
he
said,
"my
wife
was
twenty
before
her
father
became
wealthy.
During
that
time,
she
was
free
in
a
mining
camp
and
roamed
through
woods
or
mountains,
so
her
education
came
more
from
nature
than
from
any
school.
She
is
what
we
call
in
England
a
tomboy,
with
a
strong,
wild
nature,
free
from
any
traditions.
She
is
impulsive—volcanic,
I
might
say.
She
makes
decisions
quickly
and
is
fearless
in
following
through.
On
the
other
hand,
I
wouldn't
have
given
her
my
family
name"—he
coughed
slightly—"if
I
didn't
believe
she
was
a
noble
woman
at
heart.
I
think
she
is
capable
of
great
self-sacrifice
and
that
anything
dishonorable
would
be
repugnant
to
her."
"Do
you
have
her
photograph?"
"I
brought
this
with
me,"
he
said
as
he
opened
a
locket
to
show
us
the
face
of
a
very
beautiful
woman.
It
wasn't
a
photograph
but
an
ivory
miniature,
and
the
artist
had
captured
her
lustrous
black
hair,
large
dark
eyes,
and
exquisite
mouth
perfectly.
Holmes
looked
at
it
intently
for
a
long
time
before
closing
the
locket
and
handing
it
back
to
Lord
St.
Simon.
"So,
the
young
lady
came
to
London,
and
you
renewed
your
acquaintance
with
her?"
"Yes,
her
father
brought
her
over
for
the
last
London
season.
I
met
her
several
times,
got
engaged
to
her,
and
now
we're
married."
"She
brought
a
considerable
dowry,
I
understand?"
"A
fair
dowry.
It's
about
what
is
usual
in
my
family."
