The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 26
"He
already
knows.
Once
I
solved
the
case,
I
spoke
with
him,
and
when
he
wouldn't
tell
me
the
story,
I
explained
it
to
him.
He
had
to
admit
I
was
right
and
added
the
few
details
I
hadn't
yet
figured
out.
Your
news
this
morning
might
encourage
him
to
speak."
"For
Heaven’s
sake,
tell
me,
then,
what
is
this
extraordinary
mystery!"
"I
will,
and
I'll
show
you
how
I
discovered
it.
First,
let
me
tell
you
something
difficult
for
me
to
say
and
for
you
to
hear:
there
was
an
understanding
between
Sir
George
Burnwell
and
your
niece
Mary.
They
have
fled
together."
"My
Mary?
Impossible!"
"Unfortunately,
it's
not
just
possible;
it's
certain.
Neither
you
nor
your
son
knew
the
true
nature
of
this
man
when
you
let
him
into
your
family.
He's
one
of
the
most
dangerous
men
in
England—a
ruined
gambler,
a
completely
desperate
villain,
without
heart
or
conscience.
Your
niece
knew
nothing
of
such
men.
When
he
made
his
vows
to
her,
as
he
had
to
many
before
her,
she
believed
she
alone
had
touched
his
heart.
The
devil
knows
best
what
he
promised,
but
she
became
his
pawn
and
saw
him
almost
every
night."
"I
can't,
and
I
won't,
believe
it!"
cried
the
banker,
his
face
pale.
"I'll
tell
you
what
happened
in
your
house
last
night.
Your
niece,
thinking
you
had
gone
to
your
room,
slipped
down
and
talked
to
her
lover
through
the
window
leading
to
the
stable
lane.
His
footprints
pressed
deep
into
the
snow,
showing
how
long
he
stood
there.
She
told
him
about
the
coronet.
His
greed
for
gold
was
ignited,
and
he
bent
her
to
his
will.
I
believe
she
loved
you,
but
some
women
let
their
love
for
a
lover
overshadow
all
else,
and
she
must
have
been
one.
She
had
barely
listened
to
his
instructions
when
she
saw
you
coming
downstairs.
She
quickly
closed
the
window
and
told
you
about
one
of
the
servants’
escapades
with
her
wooden-legged
lover,
which
was
entirely
true."
"Your
son,
Arthur,
went
to
bed
after
speaking
with
you
but
slept
poorly,
worried
about
his
club
debts.
In
the
middle
of
the
night,
he
heard
soft
steps
past
his
door,
so
he
got
up
and
was
shocked
to
see
his
cousin
moving
stealthily
along
the
passage
until
she
disappeared
into
your
dressing-room.
Astonished,
he
quickly
dressed
and
waited
in
the
dark
to
see
what
would
happen.
Soon
she
came
out
again,
and
in
the
light
of
the
passage-lamp,
he
saw
her
carrying
the
precious
coronet.
She
went
downstairs,
and
he,
filled
with
horror,
hid
behind
the
curtain
near
your
door
to
watch
what
happened
in
the
hall
below.
He
saw
her
open
the
window
quietly,
hand
the
coronet
to
someone
outside,
and
then
close
it
again
before
hurrying
back
to
her
room,
passing
close
to
where
he
stood
hidden."
