The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
Capítulo 11, Página 6
“And
now
there
is
only
she
to
be
described.
She
is
my
niece;
but
when
my
brother
died
five
years
ago
and
left
her
alone
in
the
world
I
adopted
her,
and
have
looked
upon
her
ever
since
as
my
daughter.
She
is
a
sunbeam
in
my
house—sweet,
loving,
beautiful,
a
wonderful
manager
and
housekeeper,
yet
as
tender
and
quiet
and
gentle
as
a
woman
could
be.
She
is
my
right
hand.
I
do
not
know
what
I
could
do
without
her.
In
only
one
matter
has
she
ever
gone
against
my
wishes.
Twice
my
boy
has
asked
her
to
marry
him,
for
he
loves
her
devotedly,
but
each
time
she
has
refused
him.
I
think
that
if
anyone
could
have
drawn
him
into
the
right
path
it
would
have
been
she,
and
that
his
marriage
might
have
changed
his
whole
life;
but
now,
alas!
it
is
too
late—forever
too
late!”
“Now,
Mr.
Holmes,
you
know
the
people
who
live
under
my
roof,
and
I
shall
continue
with
my
miserable
story.”
“When
we
were
taking
coffee
in
the
drawing-room
that
night
after
dinner,
I
told
Arthur
and
Mary
my
experience,
and
of
the
precious
treasure
which
we
had
under
our
roof,
suppressing
only
the
name
of
my
client.
Lucy
Parr,
who
had
brought
in
the
coffee,
had,
I
am
sure,
left
the
room;
but
I
cannot
swear
that
the
door
was
closed.
Mary
and
Arthur
were
much
interested
and
wished
to
see
the
famous
coronet,
but
I
thought
it
better
not
to
disturb
it.”
“‘Where
have
you
put
it?’
asked
Arthur.”
“‘In
my
own
bureau.’”
“‘Well,
I
hope
to
goodness
the
house
won’t
be
burgled
during
the
night.’
said
he.”
“‘It
is
locked
up,’
I
answered.”
“‘Oh,
any
old
key
will
fit
that
bureau.
When
I
was
a
youngster
I
have
opened
it
myself
with
the
key
of
the
box-room
cupboard.’”
