Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
The Red-Headed League
Capítulo 2, Página 12
“Eight
weeks
passed
away
like
this,
and
I
had
written
about
Abbots
and
Archery
and
Armour
and
Architecture
and
Attica,
and
hoped
with
diligence
that
I
might
get
on
to
the
B’s
before
very
long.
It
cost
me
something
in
foolscap,
and
I
had
pretty
nearly
filled
a
shelf
with
my
writings.
And
then
suddenly
the
whole
business
came
to
an
end.”
“To
an
end?”
“Yes,
sir.
And
no
later
than
this
morning.
I
went
to
my
work
as
usual
at
ten
o’clock,
but
the
door
was
shut
and
locked,
with
a
little
square
of
cardboard
hammered
on
to
the
middle
of
the
panel
with
a
tack.
Here
it
is,
and
you
can
read
for
yourself.”
He
held
up
a
piece
of
white
cardboard
about
the
size
of
a
sheet
of
note-paper.
It
read
in
this
fashion:
“THE
RED-HEADED
LEAGUE
IS
DISSOLVED.
October
9,
1890.”
Sherlock
Holmes
and
I
surveyed
this
curt
announcement
and
the
rueful
face
behind
it,
until
the
comical
side
of
the
affair
so
completely
overtopped
every
other
consideration
that
we
both
burst
out
into
a
roar
of
laughter.
“I
cannot
see
that
there
is
anything
very
funny,”
cried
our
client,
flushing
up
to
the
roots
of
his
flaming
head.
“If
you
can
do
nothing
better
than
laugh
at
me,
I
can
go
elsewhere.”
“No,
no,”
cried
Holmes,
shoving
him
back
into
the
chair
from
which
he
had
half
risen.
“I
really
wouldn’t
miss
your
case
for
the
world.
It
is
most
refreshingly
unusual.
But
there
is,
if
you
will
excuse
my
saying
so,
something
just
a
little
funny
about
it.
Pray
what
steps
did
you
take
when
you
found
the
card
upon
the
door?”
