A Scandal in Bohemia
Capítulo 1, Página 7
“And
I.”
“You
will
excuse
this
mask,”
continued
our
strange
visitor.
“The
august
person
who
employs
me
wishes
his
agent
to
be
unknown
to
you,
and
I
may
confess
at
once
that
the
title
by
which
I
have
just
called
myself
is
not
exactly
my
own.”
“I
was
aware
of
it,”
said
Holmes
dryly.
“The
circumstances
are
of
great
delicacy,
and
every
precaution
has
to
be
taken
to
quench
what
might
grow
to
be
an
immense
scandal
and
seriously
compromise
one
of
the
reigning
families
of
Europe.
To
speak
plainly,
the
matter
implicates
the
great
House
of
Ormstein,
hereditary
kings
of
Bohemia.”
“I
was
also
aware
of
that,”
murmured
Holmes,
settling
himself
down
in
his
armchair
and
closing
his
eyes.
Our
visitor
glanced
with
some
apparent
surprise
at
the
languid,
lounging
figure
of
the
man
who
had
been
no
doubt
depicted
to
him
as
the
most
incisive
reasoner
and
most
energetic
agent
in
Europe.
Holmes
slowly
reopened
his
eyes
and
looked
impatiently
at
his
gigantic
client.
“If
your
Majesty
would
condescend
to
state
your
case,”
he
remarked,
“I
should
be
better
able
to
advise
you.”
The
man
sprang
from
his
chair
and
paced
up
and
down
the
room
in
uncontrollable
agitation.
Then,
with
a
gesture
of
desperation,
he
tore
the
mask
from
his
face
and
hurled
it
upon
the
ground.
“You
are
right,”
he
cried;
“I
am
the
King.
Why
should
I
attempt
to
conceal
it?”
