Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond
【原文】Chapter Three --- Mr Henry Baker 03
"Mr Henry Baker, I believe!" said Holmes to the man when he came in. "Please sit down."
Holmes looked at me and smiled. "Ah, Watson, good. You are here when we need you." Then he looked back at his other visitor.
"Is that your hat, Mr Baker?"
Mr Baker looked at the hat on the chair. "Yes, sir. That's my hat. There's no question about it." He was a big man with a big head, an intelligent face and grey hair. I remembered Holmes's words about him. He wore a dirty old black coat with no shirt under it, but he spoke slowly, quietly and carefully. I looked at him and listened to him and I thought, "Yes, this is an intelligent man. He was rich once but now he has no money and things aren't easy for him."
"We found your hat and goose some days ago," said Holmes, "But we couldn't find you very easily, Mr Baker. We didn't know your address. Why didn't you put an adverisement in the newspaper with your address in it? We waited and waited for an advertisement from you, but saw nothing."
