Holmes is smoking his pipe. Wilson has the Morning Chronicle in his hands. HOLMES: Most interesting, Mr Wilson. Most interesting. The door opens and Watson comes in. WATSON: Holmes, I’m sorry! I didn’t know— HOLMES: Come in, my dear Watson! This is Mr Jabez Wilson. He is telling me a very strange story. (To Wilson) This is Doctor Watson. He’s a good friend. Give him the advertisement to read. Wilson gives the newspaper to Watson. HOLMES: He does a lot of writing, Watson. Do you see? WILSON: Oh! How did you know that, Mr Holmes? HOLMES: The right arm of your coat is different from the left. Your arm is on the table when you write. WILSON: (Laughing) Yes, that’s right! WATSON: (Finishes reading and looks at Holmes.) It’s very strange, Holmes. HOLMES: (Looking excited) It is strange, isn’t it? Do you see the day and month of the newspaper? WATSON: It’s the Morning Chronicle of 27th April, 1890. Two months ago. HOLMES: Now, Mr Wilson, tell us about your shop. WILSON: It’s in Saxe-Coburg Square, Mr Holmes. It’s a little shop, and it doesn’t make much money. HOLMES: Does somebody help you in the shop? WILSON: Yes, a young man. Well, he’s not very young, but he works for half wages. HOLMES: Does he! What’s his name? WILSON: Vincent Spaulding. He’s very good at his work. He likes to take photographs when he’s not working. And he makes the pictures in my dark cellar. But he works well when he’s in the shop. HOLMES: How did you first see the newspaper advertisement? Tell us that. WILSON: Spaulding saw it, eight weeks ago, and we went to Pope’s Court and saw Mr Duncan Ross. I told you about the visit a few minutes ago... HOLMES: Yes, yes. And I can tell Watson about it later. What happened next? WILSON: Well, I was very pleased, Mr Holmes. I went home feeling very happy. But that evening I began to think again. Copying from a book is strange work for a man to do, I thought. HOLMES: Very strange, yes. WILSON: But the next morning I went to Pope’s Court with my pen and some paper. Mr Ross was there, but he soon went away, and I began my work. HOLMES: Well? WILSON: I went in every morning at ten o’clock, and went home at two. And on Saturday, Ross was in the office again, and gave me my four pounds. HOLMES: How long did you work there? WILSON: Eight weeks. But today I went to the office at ten o’clock, and the door was locked. (He takes a paper from his coat and gives it to Holmes.) This was on the door. HOLMES: (Reading) ‘The Red-Headed League is finished. June 23rd, 1890.’ Then what did you do? WILSON: I went to the office in the next building, and I asked the man, ‘What happened to the Red-Headed League?’ ‘Who are they?’ he asked. ‘Who is the man at number 7?’ I asked. ‘The man with the red hair?’ he said. ‘His name is William Morris. He moved out yesterday. He has new offices at 17 King Edward Street.’ Well, I went to King Edward Street, Mr Holmes. HOLMES: You did not find a Mr William Morris or a Mr Duncan Ross. Am I right? WILSON: You are! HOLMES: What did you do then? WILSON: I went home to Saxe-Coburg Square. HOLMES: What does Spaulding say about all this? WILSON: He says. ‘Wait for a letter. You’re going to hear something.’ HOLMES: What do you think? WILSON: I need your help, I think. HOLMES: You are right. Mr Wilson. I am happy to help you. But first I want to ask you one or two questions. Mr Spaulding was the first to see the advertisement. Yes? WILSON: Yes. HOLMES: When did he begin to work for you? WILSON: About three months ago. HOLMES: How did he come? WILSON: He answered an advertisement in the newspaper. HOLMES: Was he the only man to answer it? WILSON: No. twelve people answered it. HOLMES: Why did you take him? WILSON: Because he was cheap. HOLMES: He is happy to work for half the usual wages. WILSON: Yes. HOLMES: Tell me about him, this Vincent Spaulding. WILSON: He’s small, and a good, quick worker. He’s about thirty years old, I think. HOLMES: Where is he now? WILSON: He’s at the shop. HOLMES: That is all, Mr Wilson. Today is Saturday. I am going to have an answer for you before Monday. WILSON: Thank you, Mr Holmes. Watson goes out with Wilson. Holmes walks up and down, thinking. A minute later, Watson comes back. HOLMES: We must work quickly, Watson. Put on your hat. We’re going to Saxe-Coburg Square. (Taken from Sherlock Holmes and the Red-headed League) 请根据Scene 3情节内容回答下列问题。 11.
