Sherlock Holmes did a lot of work in eight years from 1880 to 1890. When I look at what I wrote about his work, I can see that he did many investigations. Some were very sad. Some were funny, and many were very strange. There were no ordinary investigations. Sherlock Holmes worked because he liked it, not for money. He most liked to do investigations which were very strange. A very strange investigation was about a Surrey family, the Roylotts of Stoke Warren. This happened when Sherlock and I lived in the same house in Baker Street. When it happened, I promised not to tell anyone about it. But now the person I promised is dead, and there are a lot of stories about the death of Dr Grimsby Roylott. Some of the stories are as bad as the truth. It was early in April, 1883. One morning I opened my eyes and saw Sherlock Holmes by the side of my bed. He usually got out of bed very late, but today the clock on the wall said that it was only a quarter past seven. I was surprised. I was also a little angry, because I don't like to begin the day at a quarter past seven. "I'm very sorry, Watson, " said Holmes "but everyone is out of bed early today. Mrs Hudson was first, she came to me, and I came to you." "Is it a fire?" "No, an investigation. A young lady is here. She is very upset, and she wants to see me. She is in the sitting room. Now, when young ladies come here early in the morning, and get sleepy people out of their beds, I think that they want to tell me something important. Perhaps it is an interesting investigation. Do you want to do the investigation with me? I decided to come to you and ask you." "My dear Holmes, I am very happy that you asked me." I quickly put my clothes on and went with my friend down to the sitting room. A lady who was wearing black clothes was sitting near the window. She stood up when we came into the room.
"Good morning, Madam," said Holmes "my name is Sherlock Holmes. This is my friend, Dr Watson, and he will not tell anyone what you say to me. Ah! I am happy to see that we have a fire in the room. Please come close to it and I will bring you a cup of hot coffee because you are very cold." "I am not cold," said the woman with a soft voice. She sat near the fire. "I am scared , Mr Holmes. I am very frightened." Her face and body showed that she was a 30 year old woman, but some of her hair was grey, and she was tired and frightened. Sherlock Holmes looked at her. "Do not be scared," he said. "I see that you came on the train this morning, " said Holmes. "You started early, but there was a long journey before you came to the train station." The lady was amazed, and looked in surprise at my friend. "There is nothing strange," said Holmes with a smile. "There is dirt on the left arm of your jacket. I can see that it came there this morning. I think it happened when you were going to the station. I can also see a part of a ticket in your glove, so I know that you went on the train." "You are exactly right," she said. "I left home before six, and came to Waterloo on the first train. Sir, I am very upset and unhappy; I will go mad if my problems do not stop. I have no one to ask for help - except one friend, but he, poor man, cannot help. I have heard about you Mr Holmes, so I came to you; do you think you can help me?" "I can't pay you now, but I will be married very soon, and then I will have money, and I will pay you." ""My dear lady, "said Sherlock Holmes" I work because I like to work; but you can pay me any money I must spend to help you, but you can pay me when you want to to. But now please tell us everything". "Oh dear!" said our visitor, "the terrible thing is that I to do not know why I am afraid, I worry about small things, and I do not think that other people will think they are very important. Even my special friend, who I want to ask for help and advice thinks that my problem is not important. He does not say that, I know that he thinks this. Mr Holmes you must tell me what to do." "I will do everything I can," said Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes a muncit foarte mult in 8 ani ,din 1880 pana in 1890.Cand ma uit la ce-am scris despre munca lui, pot sa vad ca a facut multe investigatii. Unele erau foarte triste. Unele erau amuzante si unele erau foarte ciudate. Nu erau investigatii normale. Sherlock Holmes a muncit pentru ca ii placea, nu pentru bani. Lui ii placea cel mai mult sa faca investigatii care erau foarte caudate. O investigatie ciudata a fost despre familia Surrey, the Roylotts of Stoke Warren. Asta s-a intamplat cand Sherlock si cu mine locuiam in aceiasi casa pe strada Baker. Cand s-a intamplat, eu am promis sa nu spun nimanui despre ea. Dar acum persoana caruia i-am promis este moarta, si sunt multe povesti despre moartea lui Dr Grimsby Roylott. Unele povesti sunt la fel de rele ca si adevarul. S-a intamplat la inceputul lui aprilie in 1883. Intr-o dimineata am deschis ochii si l-am vazut pe Sherlock Holmes de la marginea patului. El de obicei se scoala din pat foarte tarziu, dar azi ceasul de pe perete arata ca este nuimai sapte si un sfert. Am fost foarte surprins. Am fost si putin suparata, deoarece nu-mi place sa-mi incep ziua la ora sapte si un sfert. ,, Imi pare foarte rau, Watson a spus Holmes ,, dar toti se trezesc mai devreme astazi. Doamna Hudson a fost prima, a venit la mine, si eu am venit la tine. ,,Este un incendiu? ,,Nu, este o investigatie. O domnisoara este aici. Ea este foarte suparata, si vrea sa ma vada. Ea este in camera de zi. Acum, cand domnisoarele vin aici devreme de dimineata, si trezesc oamenii somnorosi, cred ca vor sa ne spuna ceva important. Poate este o investigatie interesanta. Vrei sa faci investigatia cu mine? M-am decis sa vin sa te intreb. ,,Dragul meu Holmes, unt foarte fericit ca m-ai intrebat. M-am imbracat repede si am mers cu prietenul meu jos in camera de zi. O doamna, care purta haine negre, statea aproape de fereastra. Ea s-a ridicat cand am venit noi in camera.
,,Buna dimineata, doamnaa spus Holmes ,,numele meu este Sherock Holmes. Acesta este prietenul meu, Watson, si el nu va spune nimanui ce imi veti spune mie. Ah! Ma bucur ca avem un foc in camera. Va rog veniti mai aproape de el si eu va voi aduce o cana de cafea fierbinte pentru ca sunteti foarte rece. ,,Nu sunt recea spus doamna cu o voce blanda. Ea s-a asezat aproape de foc. ,,Sunt speriata, domnule Holmes. Sunt foarte speriata Fata si corpul ei aratau ca si cum ea era o femeie de 30 de ani, dar putin din parul ei era gri, si ea era foarte obosita si speriata. Sherlock Holmes s-a uitat la ea. ,,Sa nu fiti speriataa spus el. ,,Am vazut ca ati venit cu trenu dimineata a spus Holmes. ,,Ati inceput devreme, dar a fost o calatorie lunga inainte sa ajungeti la gara. Femeia s-a uluit, si s-a uitat surprinsa la prietenul meu. ,,Nu este nimic ciudat, a spus Holmes cu un zambet. ,,Sunteti murdara pe maneca stanga a jachetei. Pot sa vad ca o aveti de dimineata. Cred ca s-a intamplat cand va duceati la gara. Pot sa vad deasemenea o parte din bilet in manusa, deci stiu ca ati mers cu trenu. ,,Ai perfecta dreptate a spus ea. ,,Am plecat de acasa inainte de sase si am venit la Waterloo cu primul tren.Domnule, sunt foarte suparata si nefericita; o sa inebunesc daca problermele mele nu se opresc. Nu am pe nimeni caruia sa-I cer ajutorul-cu exceptia unui prieten, dar el, bietul om, nu poate sa ma ajute.Am auzit despre tine domnule Holmes, asa ca am venit la tine; credeti ca ma puteti ajuta? ,,Nu pot sa va platesc acum, dar ma voi casatori curand, si atunci voi avea bani si va voi plati. ,,Draga mea doamna,a spus Sherlock Holmes ,,Eu lucrez pentru ca imi place; dar poti sa ma platesti pentru cat trebuie sa cheltuiesc ca sa va ajut, dar ma poti plati cand vreti. Dar acum trebuie sa imi spuneti tot ,,O vai~ a spus vizitatorul nostrum, ,,problema este ca nu stiu de ce imi este frica, imi fac griji pentru lucruri marunte, si nu cred ca alti oameni ar crede ca sunt important. Chiar si prietenul meu special, caruia ias cere ajutor si m-ar sfatui ca problemele mele nu sunt importante. El nu spune asta , stiu ca el crede asta. Domnule Holmes trebuie sa imi spuneti ce sa fac ,,O sa fac tot ce pot a spus Holmes
