"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.
