The Boscombe Valley Mystery
Capítulo 4, Página 25
The
old
man
sank
his
face
in
his
hands.
“God
help
me!”
he
cried.
“But
I
would
not
have
let
the
young
man
come
to
harm.
I
give
you
my
word
that
I
would
have
spoken
out
if
it
went
against
him
at
the
Assizes.”
“I
am
glad
to
hear
you
say
so,”
said
Holmes
gravely.
“I
would
have
spoken
now
had
it
not
been
for
my
dear
girl.
It
would
break
her
heart—it
will
break
her
heart
when
she
hears
that
I
am
arrested.”
“It
may
not
come
to
that,”
said
Holmes.
“What?”
“I
am
no
official
agent.
I
understand
that
it
was
your
daughter
who
required
my
presence
here,
and
I
am
acting
in
her
interests.
Young
McCarthy
must
be
got
off,
however.”
“I
am
a
dying
man,”
said
old
Turner.
“I
have
had
diabetes
for
years.
My
doctor
says
it
is
a
question
whether
I
shall
live
a
month.
Yet
I
would
rather
die
under
my
own
roof
than
in
a
gaol.”
Holmes
rose
and
sat
down
at
the
table
with
his
pen
in
his
hand
and
a
bundle
of
paper
before
him.
“Just
tell
us
the
truth,”
he
said.
“I
shall
jot
down
the
facts.
You
will
sign
it,
and
Watson
here
can
witness
it.
Then
I
could
produce
your
confession
at
the
last
extremity
to
save
young
McCarthy.
I
promise
you
that
I
shall
not
use
it
unless
it
is
absolutely
needed.”
