The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Capítulo 4, Página 15
"I
can't
admire
his
taste,"
I
said,
"if
it's
true
he
was
against
marrying
such
a
charming
young
lady
as
Miss
Turner."
"Ah,
there's
a
rather
sad
story
there.
He's
madly
in
love
with
her,
but
two
years
ago,
before
he
really
knew
her,
he
got
involved
with
a
barmaid
in
Bristol
and
married
her
at
a
registry
office.
No
one
knows
about
it,
but
you
can
imagine
how
frustrating
it
must
be
for
him
to
be
scolded
for
not
proposing
to
Miss
Turner
when
he
desperately
wants
to
but
knows
it's
impossible.
It
was
this
frustration
that
made
him
throw
his
hands
up
when
his
father
pushed
him
to
propose
to
her.
On
the
other
hand,
he
had
no
way
to
support
himself,
and
his
father,
who
was
very
strict,
would
have
disowned
him
if
he
knew
the
truth.
He
spent
the
last
three
days
in
Bristol
with
his
barmaid
wife,
and
his
father
didn't
know
where
he
was.
Remember
that
point;
it's
important.
However,
some
good
has
come
from
the
bad,
as
the
barmaid,
seeing
from
the
papers
that
he's
in
serious
trouble,
has
abandoned
him
and
written
to
say
she
already
has
a
husband
in
Bermuda
Dockyard,
so
there
is
no
real
bond
between
them.
I
think
that
news
has
comforted
young
McCarthy
despite
all
he's
been
through."
"But
if
he's
innocent,
who
did
it?"
"Ah!
Who
indeed?
I'd
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
two
points.
One
is
that
the
murdered
man
had
a
meeting
at
the
pool,
and
it
couldn't
have
been
with
his
son,
as
his
son
was
away,
and
he
didn't
know
when
he'd
return.
The
second
is
that
the
murdered
man
called
'Cooee!'
before
he
knew
his
son
was
back.
These
are
the
crucial
points
of
the
case.
Now,
let's
discuss
George
Meredith,
and
leave
the
minor
details
for
tomorrow."
As
Holmes
predicted,
there
was
no
rain,
and
the
morning
was
bright
and
clear.
At
nine,
Lestrade
picked
us
up
with
the
carriage,
and
we
headed
to
Hatherley
Farm
and
Boscombe
Pool.
"There's
serious
news
today,"
Lestrade
said.
"They
say
Mr.
Turner,
from
the
Hall,
is
so
ill
that
his
life
is
in
danger."
"An
elderly
man,
I
presume?"
said
Holmes.
"About
sixty,
but
his
health
has
been
ruined
by
his
life
abroad,
and
he's
been
declining
for
some
time.
This
case
has
affected
him
badly.
He
was
a
close
friend
of
McCarthy's
and,
I
should
add,
a
great
benefactor,
as
he
gave
him
Hatherley
Farm
rent-free."
