介绍:
Chapter One - A Wild Excited Young Man
"Life in London is not what it was," said Sherlock Holmes to Dr Watson. They were sitting at the breakfast table in their Baker Street rooms one morning in the summer of 1894. Holmes was smoking a cigarette and Watson was reading the newspaper.
"True, Holmes," said the doctor. "For most people life is much better now."
"But for me, Watson, life is not so interesting," explained Holmes. "I loved to read the newspaper, hoping to find some news of an interesting crime for me to investigate or a dangerous criminal for me to catch. Where are all those clever criminals these days?" He smiled sadly.
"Sometimes I don't understand you, Holmes," said Watson. "I like living a quiet life myself."
Holmes did not reply, but opened his newspaper in a lazy way and started to read. Suddenly they heard a loud knock at the street door downstairs. They heard the knock again and again. Mrs Hudson, the housekeeper, ran to open the door and a wild, excited young man fell into the hall. He pushed the poor housekeeper out of his way and ran up the stairs.
