| 'My Dear Mr. Sherlock Holmes — you were really wonderful.
I almost believed you. But after alarm of fire, when I found how I betrayed myself, 1 began to think. I had been warned against you long ago. And your address had been given to me. When I became suspicious I ran upstairs, put on my male clothes, and followed you to your house. So I was sure that 1 had been visited by a famous Sherlock Holmes. I wished you good night and went to my husband. We decided to run away, so you will find the nest empty. As to the photograph, your client may be sure that I will not use it. I leave a photograph which he might like to have. Very truly yours, Irene Adler.' "I am sorry that I have not been able to bring Your Majesty's case to a more successful end." "Oh, my dear sir," cried the King. "Don't worry. I know I can trust her word. The photograph is safe now." "I am glad to hear it." "Tell me how can I thank you. This ring..." 122 "Your Majesty has something which 1 should value more, said Holmes. "You just say." "This photograph!" The King was very surprised. "Irene's photograph!" he cried. "If you wish it." "Thank you very much. Then there is no more to be done in this case. I have the honour to wish you a very good morning." He bowed and we went out of the room. And that was how a scandal threatened to ruin the King of Bohemia, and how a famous Mr. Sherlock Holmes was beaten by a woman. He used to laugh at the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him to do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, it is always under the title of the woman. жүктеу/скачать 1,77 Mb.
