Sherlock Holmes: The Blue Diamond 【原文】Chapter Five --- A Weak Little Man 03 "Why don't we go to a warm room in my house for a talk then? I don't like standing here in the cold street." Holmes put out his arm and a cab stopped for us. "But before we go, can you please tell us your name?" The little man looked at Holmes and then at me before he answered. "John Robinson," he said. "No, no," said Holmes quietly. "We'd like to know your real name please." The stranger's face changed from white to red. "Very well. My real name is James Ryder," he said. "Well, well, well," said Holmes. "Assistant Manager of the Cosmopolitan Hotel. Now let's get into the cab and go home. Then I can tell you everything you want to know." So we got into the cab and went home. Ryder looked excited but said nothing. Holmes didn't speak at all in the cab.
