Гость в маске
Однажды вечером в марте 1888 года я шёл мимо своего старого дома на Бейкер-стрит, 221B. Теперь я был женат и жил в другом доме, но увидел в окне моего старого друга Шерлока Холмса и позвонил в дверь. Холмс был рад меня видеть. Он посмотрел на меня минуту и сказал: "Вы поправились на три с лишним килограмма, Ватсон, и вы попали под дождь". Конечно, он был прав.
"Как вы это узнали?" – спросил я. "Я это вижу", – ответил он. "На вашем левом ботинке есть маленькие порезы. Кто-то небрежно счистил с него грязь. Видите ли, вы смотрите, но не замечаете". Потом он дал мне письмо. В нём было написано, что сегодня без четверти восемь придёт гость и что он хочет поговорить об очень важном деле.
