THE MAN WITH THE TWISTED LIP

抄録

We were seated at breakfast one morning, my wife and I, when themaid brought in a telegram. It was from Sherlock Holmes and ranin this way:
Have you a couple of days to spare? Have just been wired for fromthe west of England in connection with Boscombe Valley tragedy.Shall be glad if you will come with me. Air and scenery perfect.Leave Paddington by the 11:15.
"What do you say, dear?" said my wife, looking across at me."Will you go?"
"I really don't know what to say. I have a fairly long list atpresent."
"Oh, Anstruther would do your work for you. You have been lookinga little pale lately. I think that the change would do you good,and you are always so interested in Mr. Sherlock Holmes's cases."
"I should be ungrateful if I were not, seeing what I gainedthrough one of them," I answered. "But if I am to go, I must packat once, for I have only half an hour."
My experience of camp life in Afghanistan had at least had theeffect of making me a prompt and ready traveller. My wants werefew and simple, so that in less than the time stated I was in acab with my valise, rattling away to Paddington Station. SherlockHolmes was pacing up and down the platform, his tall, gauntfigure made even gaunter and taller by his long graytravelling-cloak and close-fitting cloth cap.
"It is really very good of you to come, Watson," said he. "Itmakes a considerable difference to me, having someone with me onwhom I can thoroughly rely. Local aid is always either worthlessor else biassed. If you will keep the two corner seats I shallget the tickets."
We had the carriage to ourselves save for an immense litter ofpapers which Holmes had brought with him. Among these he rummagedand read, with intervals of note-taking and of meditation, untilwe were past Reading. Then he suddenly rolled them all into agigantic ball and tossed them up onto the rack.
