Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 26
“I
do
not
wish
to
make
a
mystery,”
said
he,
laughing.
“The
matter
was
perfectly
simple.
You,
of
course,
saw
that
everyone
in
the
street
was
an
accomplice.
They
were
all
engaged
for
the
evening.”
“I
guessed
as
much.”
“Then,
when
the
row
broke
out,
I
had
a
little
moist
red
paint
in
the
palm
of
my
hand.
I
rushed
forward,
fell
down,
clapped
my
hand
to
my
face,
and
became
a
piteous
spectacle.
It
is
an
old
trick.”
“That
also
I
could
fathom.”
“Then
they
carried
me
in.
She
was
bound
to
have
me
in.
What
else
could
she
do?
And
into
her
sitting-room,
which
was
the
very
room
which
I
suspected.
It
lay
between
that
and
her
bedroom,
and
I
was
determined
to
see
which.
They
laid
me
on
a
couch,
I
motioned
for
air,
they
were
compelled
to
open
the
window,
and
you
had
your
chance.”
“How
did
that
help
you?”
“It
was
all-important.
When
a
woman
thinks
that
her
house
is
on
fire,
her
instinct
is
at
once
to
rush
to
the
thing
which
she
values
most.
It
is
a
perfectly
overpowering
impulse,
and
I
have
more
than
once
taken
advantage
of
it.
In
the
case
of
the
Darlington
Substitution
Scandal
it
was
of
use
to
me,
and
also
in
the
Arnsworth
Castle
business.
A
married
woman
grabs
at
her
baby;
an
unmarried
one
reaches
for
her
jewel-box.
Now
it
was
clear
to
me
that
our
lady
of
to-day
had
nothing
in
the
house
more
precious
to
her
than
what
we
are
in
quest
of.
She
would
rush
to
secure
it.
The
alarm
of
fire
was
admirably
done.
The
smoke
and
shouting
were
enough
to
shake
nerves
of
steel.
She
responded
beautifully.
The
photograph
is
in
a
recess
behind
a
sliding
panel
just
above
the
right
bell-pull.
She
was
there
in
an
instant,
and
I
caught
a
glimpse
of
it
as
she
half
drew
it
out.
When
I
cried
out
that
it
was
a
false
alarm,
she
replaced
it,
glanced
at
the
rocket,
rushed
from
the
room,
and
I
have
not
seen
her
since.
I
rose,
and,
making
my
excuses,
escaped
from
the
house.
I
hesitated
whether
to
attempt
to
secure
the
photograph
at
once;
but
the
coachman
had
come
in,
and
as
he
was
watching
me
narrowly,
it
seemed
safer
to
wait.
A
little
over-precipitance
may
ruin
all.”
“And
now?”
I
asked.
