Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond
【原文】Chapter One --- An Old Hat 03
"At about four o'clock in the morning of Christmas Day, Peterson went home after work. When he got to Tottenham Court Road he saw, in the street in front of him, a tall man with a goose over his shoulder. Peterson walked behind him for some time."
"There were some young men in the street in front of them. Suddenly one of them hit the tall man's hat off his head and it fell into the road. Then the tall man tried to hit the young man with his walking stick, but by accident he broke the window of a shop behind him."
"At that moment Peterson ran to the man to help him, but the tall man ran away. Perhaps he felt bad about breaking the shop window. Perhaps he thought that Peterson - in his doorman's coat and hat - was a policeman."
