Su padre, el señor Hungerton, era verdaderamente la persona menos dotada de tacto que pudiese hallarse en el mundo; una especie de cacatúa pomposa y desaliñada, de excelente carácter pero absolutamente encerrado en su propio y estúpido yo. Si algo podía haberme alejado de Gladys, era el imaginar un suegro como aquél. Estoy convencido de que creía, de todo corazón, que mis tres visitas semanales a Los Nogales se debían al placer que yo hallaba en su compañía y, muy especialmente, al deseo de escuchar sus opiniones sobre el bimetalismo, materia en la que iba camino de convertirse en una autoridad. Durante una hora o más tuve que oír aquella noche su monótono parloteo acerca de cómo la moneda sin respaldo disipa la seguridad del ahorro, sobre el valor simbólico de la plata, la devaluación de la rupia y los verdaderos patrones de cambio. ¿¿Supóngase ¿¿exclamaba con enfermiza exaltación¿¿ que se reclamasen en forma simultánea todas las deudas del mundo y se insistiese en su pago inmediato. ¿Qué ocurriría entonces, dadas las actuales circunstancias? Le contesté que eso me convertiría, evidentemente, en un hombre arruinado, ante lo cual saltó de su silla reprochando mi habitual ligereza, que le impedía discutir en mi presencia cualquier tema razonable. Tras decir esto, salió disparado de la habitación para vestirse, porque iba a una reunión de masones.

" Ce fut une chose curieuse, dit le précepteur ; un de ces incidents bizarres et saugrenus comme il ne s¿en produit pas deux fois dans une existence. J¿y perdis la meilleure situation que je doive, sans doute, jamais rencontrer. Ce qui ne veut pas dire que je ne me félicite d¿être allé à Thorpe Place ; car j¿y gagnai... Mais cela, c¿est ce que vous apprendra mon histoire. Je ne sais pas si vous connaissez bien cette partie des Midlands qüarrose l¿Avon. C¿est la région la plus anglaise de l¿Angleterre. Elle nous a donné Shakespeare, qui fut la fleur de notre race. Terre de longs pâturages, se plissant et se gonflant à l¿ouest pour former les hauteurs de Malvern. Pas de villes, mais des quantités de villages, chacun avec son clocher de pierre grise. Vous avez laissé derrière vous la brique des com- tés du Sud et de l¿Est ; ici, tout est de pierre, depuis les murs jusqüaux dalles des toits envahies par le lichen ; tout est farouche, solide et massif, comme il convient au c¿ur d¿un grand pays."

"A Study in Scarlet is an 1887 detective novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle. The story marks the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, who would become the most famous detective duo in popular fiction. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet is the literary debut of the world's most famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, introduced by Iain Sinclair with notes by Ed Glinert in Penguin Classics. On the wall, the word rache - German for 'revenge' - is written in blood, yet there are no wounds on the victim or signs of a struggle. Watson's head is in a whirl, but the formidable Holmes relishes this challenge to his deductive powers, and so begins their famous investigative partnership."

La gran campana del monasterio de Belmonte dejaba oír sus sonoros tañidos por todo el valle y aun más allá de la obscura línea formada por los bosques. Los leñadores y carboneros que trabajaban por la parte de Vernel y los pescadores del río Lande, suspendían momentáneamente sus tareas para dirigirse interrogadoras miradas; pues aunque el sonido de las campanas de la abadía era tan familiar y conocido por aquellos contornos como el canto de las alondras o la charla de las urracas en setos y bardales, los repiques tenían sus horas fijas, y aquella tarde la de nona había sonado ya y faltaba no poco para la oración. ¿Qué suceso extraordinario lanzaba a vuelo, tan a deshora, la campana mayor de la abadía? Por todas partes se veía llegar a los religiosos, cuyos blancos hábitos se destacaban vivamente sobre el césped que cubría las avenidas de nudosos robles. Procedían unos de los viñedos y lagares pertenecientes a la comunidad, otros de la vaquería, de las margueras y salinas, y algunos llegaban, apresurando el paso, de las lejanas fundiciones de Solent y la granja de San Bernardo. No les cogía de sorpresa el inusitado campaneo, porque ya la noche anterior había despachado el abad un mensajero especial a todas las dependencias exteriores del monasterio, con orden de anunciar en ellas la proyectada reunión general del día siguiente. En cambio el hermano lego Atanasio, que durante un cuarto de siglo había limpiado y bruñido el pesado aldabón de bronce de la abadía, declaraba con asombro que jamás había presenciado convocación tan extemporánea y urgente de todos los miembros de la comunidad.

Estoy viendo, Watson, que no tendré más remedio que ir ¿me dijo Holmes, cierta mañana, cuando estábamos desayunándonos juntos.¿¡Ir! ¿Adónde? ¿ADartmoor..., a King¿s Pyland.No me sorprendió. A decir verdad, lo único que me sorprendía era que no se encontrase mezclado ya en aquel suceso extraordinario, que constituía tema único de conversación de un extremo a otro de toda la superficie de Inglaterra Mi compañero se había pasado un día entero yendo y viniendo por la habitación, con la barbilla caída sobre el pecho y el ceño contraído, cargando una y otra vez su pipa del tabaco negro más fuerte, sordo por completo a todas mis preguntas y comentarios. Nuestro vendedor de periódicos nos iba enviando las ediciones de todos los periódicos a medida que salían, pero Holmes los tiraba a un rincón después de haberles echado una ojeada Sin embargo, a pesar de su silencio, yo sabía perfectamente cuál era el tema de sus cavilaciones. Sólo había un problema pendiente de la opinión pública que podía mantener en vilo su capacidad de análisis, y ese problema era el de la extraordinaria desaparición del caballo favorito de la Copa Wessex y del trágico asesinato de su entrenador.
