The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Capítulo 4, Página 20
“But
who
is
he?”
“Surely
it
would
not
be
difficult
to
find
out.
This
is
not
such
a
populous
neighbourhood.”
Lestrade
shrugged
his
shoulders.
“I
am
a
practical
man,”
he
said,
“and
I
really
cannot
undertake
to
go
about
the
country
looking
for
a
left-handed
gentleman
with
a
game
leg.
I
should
become
the
laughing-stock
of
Scotland
Yard.”
“All
right,”
said
Holmes
quietly.
“I
have
given
you
the
chance.
Here
are
your
lodgings.
Good-bye.
I
shall
drop
you
a
line
before
I
leave.”
Having
left
Lestrade
at
his
rooms,
we
drove
to
our
hotel,
where
we
found
lunch
upon
the
table.
Holmes
was
silent
and
buried
in
thought
with
a
pained
expression
upon
his
face,
as
one
who
finds
himself
in
a
perplexing
position.
“Look
here,
Watson,”
he
said
when
the
cloth
was
cleared
“just
sit
down
in
this
chair
and
let
me
preach
to
you
for
a
little.
I
don’t
know
quite
what
to
do,
and
I
should
value
your
advice.
Light
a
cigar
and
let
me
expound.”
“Pray
do
so.”
“Well,
now,
in
considering
this
case
there
are
two
points
about
young
McCarthy’s
narrative
which
struck
us
both
instantly,
although
they
impressed
me
in
his
favour
and
you
against
him.
One
was
the
fact
that
his
father
should,
according
to
his
account,
cry
‘Cooee!’
before
seeing
him.
The
other
was
his
singular
dying
reference
to
a
rat.
He
mumbled
several
words,
you
understand,
but
that
was
all
that
caught
the
son’s
ear.
Now
from
this
double
point
our
research
must
commence,
and
we
will
begin
it
by
presuming
that
what
the
lad
says
is
absolutely
true.”
