介绍:
Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond
【原文】Chapter Six --- One or Two Questions 05
I left the goose with Maudsley, ran to my sister's house, and went into the back garden. There were no geese there.
"Where are they all, Maggie?" I said.
"In Mr Breckinridge's shop, in Covent Garden."
"Were there two birds with black tails?" I asked.
"Yes, there were, James," she said. "And to my eyes one was no different from the other."
I understood it all then. The diamond was inside the other goose with the black tail. And that goose was now in Mr Breckinridge's shop. I ran to Covent Garden at once and went to Breckinridge's. But the geese weren't in his shop, and when I asked about them he told me, 'I sold them all at once.'
'But you must tell me. Where are they now?' I asked again and again. But he never told me. You and Dr Watson heard him earlier tonight, Mr Holmes. He never answered my questions.
Now my sister thinks I'm a terrible brother. I'm a thief. I'm going to lose my good name and I never got any money from my crime at all. Oh, what's going to happen to me?
