Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 6
“Come
in!”
said
Holmes.
A
man
entered
who
could
hardly
have
been
less
than
six
feet
six
inches
in
height,
with
the
chest
and
limbs
of
a
Hercules.
His
dress
was
rich
with
a
richness
which
would,
in
England,
be
looked
upon
as
akin
to
bad
taste.
Heavy
bands
of
astrakhan
were
slashed
across
the
sleeves
and
fronts
of
his
double-breasted
coat,
while
the
deep
blue
cloak
which
was
thrown
over
his
shoulders
was
lined
with
flame-coloured
silk
and
secured
at
the
neck
with
a
brooch
which
consisted
of
a
single
flaming
beryl.
Boots
which
extended
halfway
up
his
calves,
and
which
were
trimmed
at
the
tops
with
rich
brown
fur,
completed
the
impression
of
barbaric
opulence
which
was
suggested
by
his
whole
appearance.
He
carried
a
broad-brimmed
hat
in
his
hand,
while
he
wore
across
the
upper
part
of
his
face,
extending
down
past
the
cheekbones,
a
black
vizard
mask,
which
he
had
apparently
adjusted
that
very
moment,
for
his
hand
was
still
raised
to
it
as
he
entered.
From
the
lower
part
of
the
face
he
appeared
to
be
a
man
of
strong
character,
with
a
thick,
hanging
lip,
and
a
long,
straight
chin
suggestive
of
resolution
pushed
to
the
length
of
obstinacy.
“You
had
my
note?”
he
asked
with
a
deep
harsh
voice
and
a
strongly
marked
German
accent.
“I
told
you
that
I
would
call.”
He
looked
from
one
to
the
other
of
us,
as
if
uncertain
which
to
address.
“Pray
take
a
seat,”
said
Holmes.
“This
is
my
friend
and
colleague,
Dr.
Watson,
who
is
occasionally
good
enough
to
help
me
in
my
cases.
Whom
have
I
the
honour
to
address?”
“You
may
address
me
as
the
Count
Von
Kramm,
a
Bohemian
nobleman.
I
understand
that
this
gentleman,
your
friend,
is
a
man
of
honour
and
discretion,
whom
I
may
trust
with
a
matter
of
the
most
extreme
importance.
If
not,
I
should
much
prefer
to
communicate
with
you
alone.”
I
rose
to
go,
but
Holmes
caught
me
by
the
wrist
and
pushed
me
back
into
my
chair.
“It
is
both,
or
none,”
said
he.
“You
may
say
before
this
gentleman
anything
which
you
may
say
to
me.”
The
Count
shrugged
his
broad
shoulders.
“Then
I
must
begin,”
said
he,
“by
binding
you
both
to
absolute
secrecy
for
two
years;
at
the
end
of
that
time
the
matter
will
be
of
no
importance.
At
present
it
is
not
too
much
to
say
that
it
is
of
such
weight
it
may
have
an
influence
upon
European
history.”
“I
promise,”
said
Holmes.
