The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 19
“That
is
it
on
the
dressing-table.”
Sherlock
Holmes
took
it
up
and
opened
the
bureau.
“It
is
a
noiseless
lock,”
said
he.
“It
is
no
wonder
that
it
did
not
wake
you.
This
case,
I
presume,
contains
the
coronet.
We
must
have
a
look
at
it.”
He
opened
the
case,
and
taking
out
the
diadem
he
laid
it
upon
the
table.
It
was
a
magnificent
specimen
of
the
jeweller’s
art,
and
the
thirty-six
stones
were
the
finest
that
I
have
ever
seen.
At
one
side
of
the
coronet
was
a
cracked
edge,
where
a
corner
holding
three
gems
had
been
torn
away.
“Now,
Mr.
Holder,”
said
Holmes,
“here
is
the
corner
which
corresponds
to
that
which
has
been
so
unfortunately
lost.
Might
I
beg
that
you
will
break
it
off.”
The
banker
recoiled
in
horror.
“I
should
not
dream
of
trying,”
said
he.
“Then
I
will.”
Holmes
suddenly
bent
his
strength
upon
it,
but
without
result.
“I
feel
it
give
a
little,”
said
he;
“but,
though
I
am
exceptionally
strong
in
the
fingers,
it
would
take
me
all
my
time
to
break
it.
An
ordinary
man
could
not
do
it.
Now,
what
do
you
think
would
happen
if
I
did
break
it,
Mr.
Holder?
There
would
be
a
noise
like
a
pistol
shot.
Do
you
tell
me
that
all
this
happened
within
a
few
yards
of
your
bed
and
that
you
heard
nothing
of
it?”
“I
do
not
know
what
to
think.
It
is
all
dark
to
me.”
“But
perhaps
it
may
grow
lighter
as
we
go.
What
do
you
think,
Miss
Holder?”
