Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond
【原文】Chapter Four --- To Mr Breckinridge's 01
Holmes and I put on our coats and hats and went out into the cold winter street. The sky was dark over our heads. We walked east, and in a quarter of an hour we stood in front of The Alpha. Holmes opened the door and we went in.
In the pub the owner, Mr Windigate, gave us some beer.
"Is this beer good?" Holmes asked him. "I ask because I know your geese are very good. Mr Henry Baker told us all about your goose club."
"Ah, yes. But those geese weren't our geese. They came from a man with a little shop in Covent Garden. Breckinridge is his name."
"Thank you, my good man," said Holmes. We paid for our beer and drank it. Then we walked out of the warm pub and into the cold night again.
"Now for Covent Garden," said Holmes, and we walked down the street past the British Museum. "Remember, Watson, it all began with a goose, but it finishes with seven years in prison for young Mr Horner. Perhaps we can learn more about this interesting case in Breckinridge's shop."
