The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
Capítulo 7, Página 12
"Oh,
certainly,
certainly,"
Mr.
Baker
replied
with
a
sigh
of
relief.
"Of
course,
we
still
have
the
feathers,
legs,
crop,
and
so
on
from
your
bird,
so
if
you
want—"
The
man
laughed
heartily.
"They
might
serve
as
mementos
of
my
adventure,"
he
said,
"but
beyond
that,
I
don't
see
how
the
remains
of
my
old
acquaintance
would
be
useful
to
me.
No,
sir,
I'll
focus
on
the
fine
bird
on
the
sideboard."
Sherlock
Holmes
glanced
at
me
sharply
with
a
slight
shrug.
"There's
your
hat,
and
there's
your
bird,"
he
said.
"By
the
way,
would
you
mind
telling
me
where
you
got
the
other
one?
I'm
somewhat
of
a
bird
enthusiast,
and
I've
rarely
seen
a
better
goose."
"Certainly,
sir,"
said
Baker,
who
had
stood
up
and
tucked
his
new
possession
under
his
arm.
"A
few
of
us
go
to
the
Alpha
Inn
near
the
Museum—we're
in
the
Museum
during
the
day.
This
year,
our
host,
Windigate,
started
a
goose
club.
For
a
few
pence
each
week,
we
each
got
a
bird
for
Christmas.
I
paid
my
pence,
and
you
know
the
rest.
I'm
very
grateful,
sir,
as
a
Scotch
bonnet
doesn't
suit
my
age
or
dignity."
With
a
comical
seriousness,
he
bowed
to
us
both
and
left.
"So
much
for
Mr.
Henry
Baker,"
said
Holmes
after
closing
the
door.
"It's
clear
he
knows
nothing
about
it.
Are
you
hungry,
Watson?"
"Not
particularly."
