米尔沃顿(8)
For Heaven's sake, Holmes, think what you are doing, I cried. My dear fellow, I have given it every consideration. I am never precipitate in my actions, nor would I adopt so energetic and indeed so dangerous a course if any other were possible. Let u

Well, well, my dear fellow, be it so. We have shared the same room for some years, and it would be amusing if we ended by sharing the same cell. You know, Watson, I don't mind confessing to you that I have always had an idea that I would have made a

It's a business that needs delicate treatment, said Holmes. These documents are contained in a safe in the fellow's study, and the study is the ante-room of his bed-chamber. On the other hand, like all these stout, little men who do themselves well,

It was a good fire, and the room was illuminated by it. Near the door I saw the gleam of an electric switch, but it was unnecessary, even if it had been safe, to turn it on. At one side of the fireplace was a heavy curtain, which covered the bay wind

It was only when I had joined him there that I heard what had alarmed his quicker senses. There was a noise somewhere within the house. A door slammed in the distance. Then a confused, dull murmur broke itself into the measured thud of heavy footstep

米尔沃顿(13)
I felt Holmes's hand steal into mine and give me a reassuring shake, as if to say that the situation was within his powers and that he was easy in his mind. I was not sure whether he had seen what was only too obvious from my position, that the door

米尔沃顿(14)
Well, said Milverton, you've made me lose a good night's rest, my dear. I hope you'll prove worth it. You couldn't come any other timeeh? The woman shook her head. Well, if you couldn't you couldn't. If the Countess is a hard mistress you have your c

You will ruin no more lives as you ruined mine. You will wring no more hearts as you wrung mine. I will free the world of a poisonous thing. Take that, you hound, and that!and that!and that! She had drawn a little, gleaming revolver, and emptied barr

米尔沃顿(16)
We had breakfasted and were smoking our morning pipe on the day after the remarkable experience which I have recorded when Mr. Lestrade, of Scotland Yard, very solemn and impressive, was ushered into our modest sitting-room. Good morning, Mr. Holmes,

米尔沃顿(17)
That's rather vague, said Sherlock Holmes. Why, it might be a description of Watson! It's true, said the inspector, with much amusement. It might be a description of Watson. Well, I am afraid I can't help you, Lestrade, said Holmes. The fact is that

六座拿破仑半身像(2)
Well, Mr. Holmes, there is no use denying that there is something on my mind. And yet it is such an absurd business that I hesitated to bother you about it. On the other hand, although it is trivial, it is undoubtedly queer, and I know that you have

Burglary! This is more interesting. Let me hear the details. Lestrade took out his official note-book and refreshed his memory from its pages. The first case reported was four days ago, said he. It was at the shop of Morse Hudson, who has a place for

六座拿破仑半身像(4)
The second case, however, was more serious and also more singular. It occurred only last night. In Kennington Road, and within a few hundred yards of Morse Hudson's shop, there lives a well-known medical practitioner, named Dr. Barnicot, who has one

This is certainly very novel, said he. I thought it would please you. But I have not got to the end yet. Dr. Barnicot was due at his surgery at twelve o'clock, and you can imagine his amazement when, on arriving there, he found that the window had be
