第 4 章
“Sherlock, what are you doing(夏洛克你在干什么?)”
“Watson, be quiet. I''m working on a case(华生,安静我在办案)”夏洛克趴着对华生说
“Is this your method of handling cases by making the interior of the house explode like an experiment? Can''t you use your smart brain?(把屋内弄得跟实验爆炸了一样,这就是你的办案的方法?难道你不能用你聪明的大脑吗?)”
“ my dear fellow(我亲爱的朋友)I think I confessed several years ago when we first met that I love doing chemistry experiments, all for the sake of solving cases(我想我在好几年前第一次见面的时候就坦白过我爱做化学实验,这都是为了办案)”
“Shylock(夏洛克)……!”
没等华生说完便有“委托人”按响了221B的门铃。
华生深吸一口气说“I''ll go open the door(我去开门)”
华生边下楼去开门边说“If you have a commission,please wait!(如果您有委托请稍等……哦!)Mycroft”
华生本想是委托人而站在他面前的是前阵子见过一面的Mr. Mycroft Holmes……还有一位未曾见过的女士。
不等华生再问迈克已经出口“This is Miss Margaret Drexel, and this is John Watson(这位是玛格丽特·德拉塞尔小姐,玛格丽特这位是约翰·华生)”
玛格丽特听闻瞥了一眼迈克遍向华生伸出手华生礼貌回握。
华生请迈克和玛格丽特进来后边上楼边对迈克说“I think Mycroft, you didn''t come at the right time(我想Mycroft你来得不是时候)”
迈克跟在后面说“I know, my younger brother is quite passionate about investigating cases(我知道,我这位弟弟比较“热爱”探案)”,后面这句话显然是对玛格丽特说的。
“Je sais(我知道)”玛格丽特便回。
迈克轻笑并未作出回应
“Watson, what does he want to entrust?(华生,他要委托什么?)”夏洛克头也不回边摆弄着一把枪边向华生问
不等华生作出回应,迈克便微笑的对夏洛克说“Good morning, my dear brother(早上好,我亲爱的弟弟)”
