The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 3
"I
feel
time
is
important,"
he
said,
"which
is
why
I
hurried
here
when
the
police
inspector
suggested
I
seek
your
help.
I
came
to
Baker
Street
by
the
Underground
and
rushed
on
foot
from
there,
as
cabs
move
slowly
through
this
snow.
That's
why
I
was
out
of
breath,
for
I
don't
exercise
much.
I
feel
better
now,
and
I'll
present
the
facts
as
briefly
and
clearly
as
I
can."
"Of
course,
you
know
that
in
a
successful
banking
business,
as
much
depends
on
finding
profitable
investments
for
our
funds
as
on
increasing
our
connections
and
depositors.
One
of
our
most
lucrative
ways
to
invest
money
is
through
loans,
where
the
security
is
flawless.
We've
done
a
lot
in
this
area
in
recent
years,
and
many
noble
families
have
received
large
sums
from
us
against
their
art
collections,
libraries,
or
silverware."
"Yesterday
morning,
I
was
in
my
office
at
the
bank
when
a
clerk
brought
me
a
card.
I
was
startled
when
I
saw
the
name,
for
it
was
none
other
than—well,
perhaps
even
to
you,
I
should
say
no
more
than
that
it
was
a
name
known
worldwide—one
of
the
highest,
most
noble,
and
exalted
names
in
England.
I
was
overwhelmed
by
the
honor
and
tried
to
express
it
when
he
entered,
but
he
immediately
plunged
into
business
with
the
air
of
someone
eager
to
finish
an
unpleasant
task
quickly."
"'Mr.
Holder,'
he
said,
'I've
been
told
you
often
advance
money.'"
"'The
firm
does
so
when
the
security
is
good,'
I
replied."
"'I
absolutely
need
£50
at
once,'
he
said.
'I
could
easily
borrow
such
a
small
sum
ten
times
over
from
friends,
but
I
prefer
to
make
it
a
business
matter
and
handle
it
myself.
In
my
position,
you
understand
it's
unwise
to
be
indebted.'"
"'For
how
long
do
you
need
this
sum?'
I
asked."
"'Next
Monday,
I
have
a
large
sum
due,
and
I
will
certainly
repay
what
you
advance,
with
whatever
interest
you
think
fair.
But
it's
crucial
that
the
money
is
paid
right
away.'"
