Priklyucheniya Sherloka Kholmsa i doktora Vatsona Sokrovishcha Agry 1 Cd 1983
I am the King.
Why should I attempt to conceal it?
Why, indeed?
Your Majesty had not
spoken before I was aware
that I was addressing Wilhelm
Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein,
Grand Duke of Cassel Felstein,
and hereditary King of Bohemia.
you can understand that I am not
accustomed to doing such business
in my own person.
Yet the matter was so delicate
that I could not confide it to an
agent
without putting myself in his power.
I have come incognito from Prague
for the purpose of consulting you.
Then, pray consult.
Some five years ago, during
a lengthy visit to Europe,
I made the acquaintance of
the well known adventuress, Irene
Adler.
The name is no doubt familiar to
you.
Kindly look her up in my index,
Doctor.
Please.
Your Majesty, as I understand,
became entangled with this young
person,
and is now desirous
of getting those letters back.
Precisely so.
- Was there a secret marriage?
- None.
No legal papers or certificates?
- None.
- Letter, maybe?
How is she
to prove their authenticity?
- There is the writing.
- Forgery.
- My private note-paper.
- Stolen.
