Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond
【原文】Chapter Three --- Mr Henry Baker 01
Holmes took the blue diamond in his hand and looked at it. "What a beautiful thing!" he said. "Look at the wonderful colours in it - dark blues and cold whites. All big jewels make people into thieves and killers in the end. This one comes from the south of China. It's only twenty years old, so it's a young thing, but already many terrible crimes are happening because of it.
"I'm going to put it in my safe now, and then let's write a letter to the Countess of Morcar and say we have her beautiful blue diamond here with us."
"But Holmes," I said, "I don't understand. Is that young man Horner innocent after all?"
"I don't know."
"And what about Henry Baker - the tall man with the hat and the goose? Is he the jewel thief perhaps?"
