Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 18
“This
was
quite
too
good
to
lose,
Watson.
I
was
just
balancing
whether
I
should
run
for
it,
or
whether
I
should
perch
behind
her
landau
when
a
cab
came
through
the
street.
The
driver
looked
twice
at
such
a
shabby
fare,
but
I
jumped
in
before
he
could
object.
‘The
Church
of
St.
Monica,’
said
I,
‘and
half
a
sovereign
if
you
reach
it
in
twenty
minutes.’
It
was
twenty-five
minutes
to
twelve,
and
of
course
it
was
clear
enough
what
was
in
the
wind.”
“My
cabby
drove
fast.
I
don’t
think
I
ever
drove
faster,
but
the
others
were
there
before
us.
The
cab
and
the
landau
with
their
steaming
horses
were
in
front
of
the
door
when
I
arrived.
I
paid
the
man
and
hurried
into
the
church.
There
was
not
a
soul
there
save
the
two
whom
I
had
followed
and
a
surpliced
clergyman,
who
seemed
to
be
expostulating
with
them.
They
were
all
three
standing
in
a
knot
in
front
of
the
altar.
I
lounged
up
the
side
aisle
like
any
other
idler
who
has
dropped
into
a
church.
Suddenly,
to
my
surprise,
the
three
at
the
altar
faced
round
to
me,
and
Godfrey
Norton
came
running
as
hard
as
he
could
towards
me.”
“‘Thank
God,’
he
cried.
‘You’ll
do.
Come!
Come!’”
“‘What
then?’
I
asked.”
“‘Come,
man,
come,
only
three
minutes,
or
it
won’t
be
legal.’”
“I
was
half-dragged
up
to
the
altar,
and
before
I
knew
where
I
was
I
found
myself
mumbling
responses
which
were
whispered
in
my
ear,
and
vouching
for
things
of
which
I
knew
nothing,
and
generally
assisting
in
the
secure
tying
up
of
Irene
Adler,
spinster,
to
Godfrey
Norton,
bachelor.
It
was
all
done
in
an
instant,
and
there
was
the
gentleman
thanking
me
on
the
one
side
and
the
lady
on
the
other,
while
the
clergyman
beamed
on
me
in
front.
It
was
the
most
preposterous
position
in
which
I
ever
found
myself
in
my
life,
and
it
was
the
thought
of
it
that
started
me
laughing
just
now.
It
seems
that
there
had
been
some
informality
about
their
license,
that
the
clergyman
absolutely
refused
to
marry
them
without
a
witness
of
some
sort,
and
that
my
lucky
appearance
saved
the
bridegroom
from
having
to
sally
out
into
the
streets
in
search
of
a
best
man.
The
bride
gave
me
a
sovereign,
and
I
mean
to
wear
it
on
my
watch
chain
in
memory
of
the
occasion.”
“This
is
a
very
unexpected
turn
of
affairs,”
said
I;
“and
what
then?”
“Well,
I
found
my
plans
very
seriously
menaced.
It
looked
as
if
the
pair
might
take
an
immediate
departure,
and
so
necessitate
very
prompt
and
energetic
measures
on
my
part.
At
the
church
door,
however,
they
separated,
he
driving
back
to
the
Temple,
and
she
to
her
own
house.
‘I
shall
drive
out
in
the
park
at
five
as
usual,’
she
said
as
she
left
him.
I
heard
no
more.
They
drove
away
in
different
directions,
and
I
went
off
to
make
my
own
arrangements.”
