The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 6
"And
now
there
is
only
she
to
describe.
She
is
my
niece,
but
when
my
brother
died
five
years
ago
and
left
her
alone
in
the
world,
I
adopted
her
and
have
considered
her
my
daughter
ever
since.
She
is
a
sunbeam
in
my
house—sweet,
loving,
beautiful,
a
wonderful
manager
and
housekeeper,
yet
as
tender,
quiet,
and
gentle
as
a
woman
could
be.
She
is
my
right
hand.
I
don't
know
what
I
would
do
without
her.
In
only
one
matter
has
she
ever
gone
against
my
wishes.
Twice
my
boy
has
asked
her
to
marry
him,
as
he
loves
her
deeply,
but
each
time
she
has
refused
him.
I
think
if
anyone
could
have
guided
him
onto
the
right
path,
it
would
have
been
her,
and
that
marriage
might
have
changed
his
whole
life;
but
now,
sadly,
it
is
too
late—forever
too
late!"
"Now,
Mr.
Holmes,
you
know
the
people
who
live
under
my
roof,
and
I
will
continue
with
my
unfortunate
story."
"When
we
were
having
coffee
in
the
drawing-room
that
night
after
dinner,
I
told
Arthur
and
Mary
about
my
experience
and
the
precious
treasure
we
had
in
our
house,
only
leaving
out
the
name
of
my
client.
Lucy
Parr,
who
had
brought
in
the
coffee,
had,
I'm
sure,
left
the
room;
but
I
can't
swear
that
the
door
was
closed.
Mary
and
Arthur
were
very
interested
and
wanted
to
see
the
famous
coronet,
but
I
thought
it
better
not
to
disturb
it."
"'Where
have
you
put
it?'
asked
Arthur."
"'In
my
own
bureau.'"
"'Well,
I
hope
the
house
won't
be
burgled
during
the
night,'
he
said."
"'It's
locked
up,'
I
replied."
"'Oh,
any
old
key
will
fit
that
bureau.
When
I
was
a
youngster,
I
opened
it
myself
with
the
key
of
the
box-room
cupboard.'"
