The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 2
"You've
come
to
tell
me
your
story,
haven't
you?"
he
said.
"You're
tired
from
your
haste.
Please
wait
until
you've
recovered,
and
then
I'll
be
happy
to
look
into
any
problem
you
have."
The
man
sat
for
a
minute
or
more,
his
chest
heaving,
fighting
his
emotions.
Then
he
wiped
his
brow
with
a
handkerchief,
set
his
lips
tight,
and
turned
his
face
towards
us.
"You
probably
think
I'm
mad?"
he
said.
"I
see
you've
had
some
great
trouble,"
Holmes
replied.
"God
knows
I
have!
A
trouble
enough
to
unseat
my
reason,
so
sudden
and
terrible
it
is.
I
might
have
faced
public
disgrace,
although
my
character
has
never
been
stained.
Private
misfortune
happens
to
everyone,
but
both
together,
in
such
a
dreadful
form,
have
shaken
my
very
soul.
Besides,
it's
not
just
me.
The
noblest
in
the
land
may
suffer
unless
we
find
a
way
out
of
this
horrible
affair."
"Please
calm
yourself,
sir,"
said
Holmes,
"and
give
me
a
clear
account
of
who
you
are
and
what
has
happened
to
you."
"My
name,"
our
visitor
replied,
"is
probably
familiar
to
you.
I
am
Alexander
Holder,
of
the
banking
firm
of
Holder
&
Stevenson,
on
Threadneedle
Street."
The
name
was
indeed
well
known
to
us
as
belonging
to
the
senior
partner
in
the
second-largest
private
banking
firm
in
the
City
of
London.
What
could
have
happened
to
bring
such
a
prominent
citizen
of
London
to
this
pitiable
state?
We
waited,
full
of
curiosity,
until
with
another
effort,
he
gathered
himself
to
tell
his
story.
