The Adventure of the Noble Bachelor
Capítulo 10, Página 18
“It
is
very
good
of
Lord
St.
Simon
to
honour
my
head
by
putting
it
on
a
level
with
his
own,”
said
Sherlock
Holmes,
laughing.
“I
think
that
I
shall
have
a
whisky
and
soda
and
a
cigar
after
all
this
cross-questioning.
I
had
formed
my
conclusions
as
to
the
case
before
our
client
came
into
the
room.”
“My
dear
Holmes!”
“I
have
notes
of
several
similar
cases,
though
none,
as
I
remarked
before,
which
were
quite
as
prompt.
My
whole
examination
served
to
turn
my
conjecture
into
a
certainty.
Circumstantial
evidence
is
occasionally
very
convincing,
as
when
you
find
a
trout
in
the
milk,
to
quote
Thoreau’s
example.”
“But
I
have
heard
all
that
you
have
heard.”
“Without,
however,
the
knowledge
of
pre-existing
cases
which
serves
me
so
well.
There
was
a
parallel
instance
in
Aberdeen
some
years
back,
and
something
on
very
much
the
same
lines
at
Munich
the
year
after
the
Franco-Prussian
War.
It
is
one
of
these
cases—but,
hullo,
here
is
Lestrade!
Good-afternoon,
Lestrade!
You
will
find
an
extra
tumbler
upon
the
sideboard,
and
there
are
cigars
in
the
box.”
The
official
detective
was
attired
in
a
pea-jacket
and
cravat,
which
gave
him
a
decidedly
nautical
appearance,
and
he
carried
a
black
canvas
bag
in
his
hand.
With
a
short
greeting
he
seated
himself
and
lit
the
cigar
which
had
been
offered
to
him.
“What’s
up,
then?”
asked
Holmes
with
a
twinkle
in
his
eye.
“You
look
dissatisfied.”
“And
I
feel
dissatisfied.
It
is
this
infernal
St.
Simon
marriage
case.
I
can
make
neither
head
nor
tail
of
the
business.”
