The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 24
"What
could
she
mean
by
that
note,
Mr.
Holmes?
Do
you
think
it
suggests
suicide?"
"No,
no,
nothing
like
that.
It's
perhaps
the
best
solution.
I
trust,
Mr.
Holder,
that
you're
nearing
the
end
of
your
troubles."
"Ha!
You
say
so!
You've
heard
something,
Mr.
Holmes;
you've
learned
something!
Where
are
the
gems?"
"Would
you
consider
£1000
each
a
reasonable
price
for
them?"
"I'd
pay
ten."
"That
won't
be
necessary.
Three
thousand
will
cover
it.
And
there's
a
small
reward,
I
believe.
Do
you
have
your
cheque-book?
Here's
a
pen.
Better
make
it
out
for
£4000."
With
a
stunned
expression,
the
banker
wrote
out
the
required
check.
Holmes
approached
his
desk,
took
out
a
small
triangular
gold
piece
with
three
gems,
and
tossed
it
onto
the
table.
With
a
cry
of
joy,
our
client
grabbed
it
eagerly.
