The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
Capítulo 9, Página 12
“One
horse?”
interjected
Holmes.
“Yes,
only
one.”
“Did
you
observe
the
colour?”
“Yes,
I
saw
it
by
the
side-lights
when
I
was
stepping
into
the
carriage.
It
was
a
chestnut.”
“Tired-looking
or
fresh?”
“Oh,
fresh
and
glossy.”
“Thank
you.
I
am
sorry
to
have
interrupted
you.
Pray
continue
your
most
interesting
statement.”
“Away
we
went
then,
and
we
drove
for
at
least
an
hour.
Colonel
Lysander
Stark
had
said
that
it
was
only
seven
miles,
but
I
should
think,
from
the
rate
that
we
seemed
to
go,
and
from
the
time
that
we
took,
that
it
must
have
been
nearer
twelve.
He
sat
at
my
side
in
silence
all
the
time,
and
I
was
aware,
more
than
once
when
I
glanced
in
his
direction,
that
he
was
looking
at
me
with
great
intensity.
The
country
roads
seem
to
be
not
very
good
in
that
part
of
the
world,
for
we
lurched
and
jolted
terribly.
I
tried
to
look
out
of
the
windows
to
see
something
of
where
we
were,
but
they
were
made
of
frosted
glass,
and
I
could
make
out
nothing
save
the
occasional
bright
blur
of
a
passing
light.
Now
and
then
I
hazarded
some
remark
to
break
the
monotony
of
the
journey,
but
the
colonel
answered
only
in
monosyllables,
and
the
conversation
soon
flagged.
At
last,
however,
the
bumping
of
the
road
was
exchanged
for
the
crisp
smoothness
of
a
gravel-drive,
and
the
carriage
came
to
a
stand.
Colonel
Lysander
Stark
sprang
out,
and,
as
I
followed
after
him,
pulled
me
swiftly
into
a
porch
which
gaped
in
front
of
us.
We
stepped,
as
it
were,
right
out
of
the
carriage
and
into
the
hall,
so
that
I
failed
to
catch
the
most
fleeting
glance
of
the
front
of
the
house.
The
instant
that
I
had
crossed
the
threshold
the
door
slammed
heavily
behind
us,
and
I
heard
faintly
the
rattle
of
the
wheels
as
the
carriage
drove
away.”
