The Man with the Twisted Lip
Capítulo 6, Página 7
“Near
Lee,
in
Kent.
We
have
a
seven-mile
drive
before
us.”
“But
I
am
all
in
the
dark.”
“Of
course
you
are.
You’ll
know
all
about
it
presently.
Jump
up
here.
All
right,
John;
we
shall
not
need
you.
Here’s
half
a
crown.
Look
out
for
me
to-morrow,
about
eleven.
Give
her
her
head.
So
long,
then!”
He
flicked
the
horse
with
his
whip,
and
we
dashed
away
through
the
endless
succession
of
sombre
and
deserted
streets,
which
widened
gradually,
until
we
were
flying
across
a
broad
balustraded
bridge,
with
the
murky
river
flowing
sluggishly
beneath
us.
Beyond
lay
another
dull
wilderness
of
bricks
and
mortar,
its
silence
broken
only
by
the
heavy,
regular
footfall
of
the
policeman,
or
the
songs
and
shouts
of
some
belated
party
of
revellers.
A
dull
wrack
was
drifting
slowly
across
the
sky,
and
a
star
or
two
twinkled
dimly
here
and
there
through
the
rifts
of
the
clouds.
Holmes
drove
in
silence,
with
his
head
sunk
upon
his
breast,
and
the
air
of
a
man
who
is
lost
in
thought,
while
I
sat
beside
him,
curious
to
learn
what
this
new
quest
might
be
which
seemed
to
tax
his
powers
so
sorely,
and
yet
afraid
to
break
in
upon
the
current
of
his
thoughts.
We
had
driven
several
miles,
and
were
beginning
to
get
to
the
fringe
of
the
belt
of
suburban
villas,
when
he
shook
himself,
shrugged
his
shoulders,
and
lit
up
his
pipe
with
the
air
of
a
man
who
has
satisfied
himself
that
he
is
acting
for
the
best.
“You
have
a
grand
gift
of
silence,
Watson,”
said
he.
“It
makes
you
quite
invaluable
as
a
companion.
’Pon
my
word,
it
is
a
great
thing
for
me
to
have
someone
to
talk
to,
for
my
own
thoughts
are
not
over-pleasant.
I
was
wondering
what
I
should
say
to
this
dear
little
woman
to-night
when
she
meets
me
at
the
door.”
“You
forget
that
I
know
nothing
about
it.”
“I
shall
just
have
time
to
tell
you
the
facts
of
the
case
before
we
get
to
Lee.
It
seems
absurdly
simple,
and
yet,
somehow
I
can
get
nothing
to
go
upon.
There’s
plenty
of
thread,
no
doubt,
but
I
can’t
get
the
end
of
it
into
my
hand.
Now,
I’ll
state
the
case
clearly
and
concisely
to
you,
Watson,
and
maybe
you
can
see
a
spark
where
all
is
dark
to
me.”
“Proceed,
then.”
