A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 24
“She
will
not
be
able
to.
But
I
hear
the
rumble
of
wheels.
It
is
her
carriage.
Now
carry
out
my
orders
to
the
letter.”
As
he
spoke
the
gleam
of
the
sidelights
of
a
carriage
came
round
the
curve
of
the
avenue.
It
was
a
smart
little
landau
which
rattled
up
to
the
door
of
Briony
Lodge.
As
it
pulled
up,
one
of
the
loafing
men
at
the
corner
dashed
forward
to
open
the
door
in
the
hope
of
earning
a
copper,
but
was
elbowed
away
by
another
loafer,
who
had
rushed
up
with
the
same
intention.
A
fierce
quarrel
broke
out,
which
was
increased
by
the
two
guardsmen,
who
took
sides
with
one
of
the
loungers,
and
by
the
scissors-grinder,
who
was
equally
hot
upon
the
other
side.
A
blow
was
struck,
and
in
an
instant
the
lady,
who
had
stepped
from
her
carriage,
was
the
centre
of
a
little
knot
of
flushed
and
struggling
men,
who
struck
savagely
at
each
other
with
their
fists
and
sticks.
Holmes
dashed
into
the
crowd
to
protect
the
lady;
but,
just
as
he
reached
her,
he
gave
a
cry
and
dropped
to
the
ground,
with
the
blood
running
freely
down
his
face.
At
his
fall
the
guardsmen
took
to
their
heels
in
one
direction
and
the
loungers
in
the
other,
while
a
number
of
better
dressed
people,
who
had
watched
the
scuffle
without
taking
part
in
it,
crowded
in
to
help
the
lady
and
to
attend
to
the
injured
man.
Irene
Adler,
as
I
will
still
call
her,
had
hurried
up
the
steps;
but
she
stood
at
the
top
with
her
superb
figure
outlined
against
the
lights
of
the
hall,
looking
back
into
the
street.
“Is
the
poor
gentleman
much
hurt?”
she
asked.
“He
is
dead,”
cried
several
voices.
“No,
no,
there’s
life
in
him!”
shouted
another.
“But
he’ll
be
gone
before
you
can
get
him
to
hospital.”
“He’s
a
brave
fellow,”
said
a
woman.
“They
would
have
had
the
lady’s
purse
and
watch
if
it
hadn’t
been
for
him.
They
were
a
gang,
and
a
rough
one,
too.
Ah,
he’s
breathing
now.”
“He
can’t
lie
in
the
street.
May
we
bring
him
in,
marm?”
“Surely.
Bring
him
into
the
sitting-room.
There
is
a
comfortable
sofa.
This
way,
please!”
