The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle
Capítulo 7, Página 9
“Very.
But
will
he
see
it?”
“Well,
he
is
sure
to
keep
an
eye
on
the
papers,
since,
to
a
poor
man,
the
loss
was
a
heavy
one.
He
was
clearly
so
scared
by
his
mischance
in
breaking
the
window
and
by
the
approach
of
Peterson
that
he
thought
of
nothing
but
flight,
but
since
then
he
must
have
bitterly
regretted
the
impulse
which
caused
him
to
drop
his
bird.
Then,
again,
the
introduction
of
his
name
will
cause
him
to
see
it,
for
everyone
who
knows
him
will
direct
his
attention
to
it.
Here
you
are,
Peterson,
run
down
to
the
advertising
agency
and
have
this
put
in
the
evening
papers.”
“In
which,
sir?”
“Oh,
in
the
Globe,
Star,
Pall
Mall,
St.
James’s
Gazette,
Evening
News,
Standard,
Echo,
and
any
others
that
occur
to
you.”
“Very
well,
sir.
And
this
stone?”
“Ah,
yes,
I
shall
keep
the
stone.
Thank
you.
And,
I
say,
Peterson,
just
buy
a
goose
on
your
way
back
and
leave
it
here
with
me,
for
we
must
have
one
to
give
to
this
gentleman
in
place
of
the
one
which
your
family
is
now
devouring.”
When
the
commissionaire
had
gone,
Holmes
took
up
the
stone
and
held
it
against
the
light.
“It’s
a
bonny
thing,”
said
he.
“Just
see
how
it
glints
and
sparkles.
Of
course
it
is
a
nucleus
and
focus
of
crime.
Every
good
stone
is.
They
are
the
devil’s
pet
baits.
In
the
larger
and
older
jewels
every
facet
may
stand
for
a
bloody
deed.
This
stone
is
not
yet
twenty
years
old.
It
was
found
in
the
banks
of
the
Amoy
River
in
southern
China
and
is
remarkable
in
having
every
characteristic
of
the
carbuncle,
save
that
it
is
blue
in
shade
instead
of
ruby
red.
In
spite
of
its
youth,
it
has
already
a
sinister
history.
There
have
been
two
murders,
a
vitriol-throwing,
a
suicide,
and
several
robberies
brought
about
for
the
sake
of
this
forty-grain
weight
of
crystallised
charcoal.
Who
would
think
that
so
pretty
a
toy
would
be
a
purveyor
to
the
gallows
and
the
prison?
I’ll
lock
it
up
in
my
strong
box
now
and
drop
a
line
to
the
Countess
to
say
that
we
have
it.”
“Do
you
think
that
this
man
Horner
is
innocent?”
