The Man with the Twisted Lip
Capítulo 6, Página 4
“So
I
am.
But
you’ve
got
mixed,
Watson,
for
I
have
only
been
here
a
few
hours,
three
pipes,
four
pipes—I
forget
how
many.
But
I’ll
go
home
with
you.
I
wouldn’t
frighten
Kate—poor
little
Kate.
Give
me
your
hand!
Have
you
a
cab?”
“Yes,
I
have
one
waiting.”
“Then
I
shall
go
in
it.
But
I
must
owe
something.
Find
what
I
owe,
Watson.
I
am
all
off
colour.
I
can
do
nothing
for
myself.”
I
walked
down
the
narrow
passage
between
the
double
row
of
sleepers,
holding
my
breath
to
keep
out
the
vile,
stupefying
fumes
of
the
drug,
and
looking
about
for
the
manager.
As
I
passed
the
tall
man
who
sat
by
the
brazier
I
felt
a
sudden
pluck
at
my
skirt,
and
a
low
voice
whispered,
“Walk
past
me,
and
then
look
back
at
me.”
The
words
fell
quite
distinctly
upon
my
ear.
I
glanced
down.
They
could
only
have
come
from
the
old
man
at
my
side,
and
yet
he
sat
now
as
absorbed
as
ever,
very
thin,
very
wrinkled,
bent
with
age,
an
opium
pipe
dangling
down
from
between
his
knees,
as
though
it
had
dropped
in
sheer
lassitude
from
his
fingers.
I
took
two
steps
forward
and
looked
back.
It
took
all
my
self-control
to
prevent
me
from
breaking
out
into
a
cry
of
astonishment.
He
had
turned
his
back
so
that
none
could
see
him
but
I.
His
form
had
filled
out,
his
wrinkles
were
gone,
the
dull
eyes
had
regained
their
fire,
and
there,
sitting
by
the
fire
and
grinning
at
my
surprise,
was
none
other
than
Sherlock
Holmes.
He
made
a
slight
motion
to
me
to
approach
him,
and
instantly,
as
he
turned
his
face
half
round
to
the
company
once
more,
subsided
into
a
doddering,
loose-lipped
senility.
“Holmes!”
I
whispered,
“what
on
earth
are
you
doing
in
this
den?”
“As
low
as
you
can,”
he
answered;
“I
have
excellent
ears.
If
you
would
have
the
great
kindness
to
get
rid
of
that
sottish
friend
of
yours
I
should
be
exceedingly
glad
to
have
a
little
talk
with
you.”
“I
have
a
cab
outside.”
“Then
pray
send
him
home
in
it.
You
may
safely
trust
him,
for
he
appears
to
be
too
limp
to
get
into
any
mischief.
I
should
recommend
you
also
to
send
a
note
by
the
cabman
to
your
wife
to
say
that
you
have
thrown
in
your
lot
with
me.
If
you
will
wait
outside,
I
shall
be
with
you
in
five
minutes.”
