Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond
【原文】Chapter One --- An Old Hat 01
My name's Dr. Watson, and I'm a good friend of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Two days after Christmas last year I went to his house - 221B Baker Street. I wanted to say "Happy Christmas" to him. When I arrived, I found him in the sitting room. He was by the window with some newspapers next to him. There was an old hat on a chair near him, and he had a magnifying glass in his hand.
"You're working on something," I said, "Shall I go?"
"No," said Holmes, "Sit down and look at that interesting old hat over there."
