The Red-Headed League
Capítulo 2, Página 7
"'And
what
are
they
worth?'
I
asked."
"'Oh,
just
a
couple
of
hundred
a
year,
but
the
work
is
light
and
won't
interfere
much
with
other
duties.'"
"You
can
imagine
how
that
piqued
my
interest,
as
business
hasn't
been
great
for
some
years,
and
an
extra
couple
of
hundred
would
be
very
useful."
"'Tell
me
all
about
it,'
I
said."
"'Well,'
he
said,
showing
me
the
advertisement,
'you
can
see
for
yourself
that
the
League
has
a
vacancy,
and
there's
the
address
to
apply
for
details.
From
what
I
gather,
the
League
was
founded
by
an
American
millionaire,
Ezekiah
Hopkins,
who
was
quite
eccentric.
He
was
red-headed
himself
and
had
great
sympathy
for
other
red-headed
men.
So
when
he
died,
he
left
his
fortune
with
instructions
to
provide
easy
jobs
for
men
with
red
hair.
From
what
I
hear,
the
pay
is
great
and
there's
very
little
to
do.'"
"'But,'
I
said,
'there
must
be
millions
of
red-headed
men
who
would
apply.'"
"'Not
as
many
as
you
think,'
he
replied.
'It's
really
limited
to
Londoners
and
grown
men.
This
American
started
in
London
when
he
was
young
and
wanted
to
give
back
to
the
city.
Also,
I've
heard
it's
no
use
applying
if
your
hair
is
light
red,
dark
red,
or
anything
but
bright,
fiery
red.
Now,
if
you
wanted
to
apply,
Mr.
Wilson,
you'd
have
a
good
chance;
but
maybe
it's
not
worth
the
effort
for
just
a
few
hundred
pounds.'"
"It's
true,
gentlemen,
as
you
can
see,
my
hair
is
a
very
rich
color,
so
it
seemed
to
me
that
if
there
was
any
competition,
I
had
as
good
a
chance
as
anyone.
Vincent
Spaulding
seemed
to
know
a
lot
about
it,
so
I
told
him
to
close
the
shop
for
the
day
and
come
with
me.
He
was
happy
to
take
a
holiday,
so
we
shut
the
business
and
went
to
the
address
in
the
advertisement."
