道尔爵士是在一百多年以前塑造了这个人物的。但是，福尔摩斯的种种奇特

经历迄今依旧 是既生动有趣又扣人心弦。

为了更好地理解这个故事，我们有必要对达特沼地有一番了解：

01 The Case Begins

The September sun was shining brightly into the windows of 221B Baker

Street, and London was enjoying a beautiful late summer. I had finished

my breakfast and was reading the newspaper. As usual, Holmes had got

up late, and was still eating. We were expecting a visitor at half past ten,

and I wondered whether Holmes would finish his breakfast before our

visitor arrived.

Holmes was in no hurry. He was reading once again a letter he had

received three days ago. It was from Dr James Mortimer, who asked for

an appointment with Holmes.

'Well, Watson,' Holmes said to me, 'I'm afraid that a doctor from

Devonshire won't bring us anything of real interest. His letter doesn't tell

us anything about his business though he says it's very important. I hope

we can help him.'

At exactly half past ten there was a knock on our front door.

'Good,' said Holmes. 'Dr Mortimer is clearly a man who will not waste

our time.'

We stood up as our visitor was brought into the room.

'Good morning, gentlemen,' he said. 'I'm Dr James Mortimer, from

Grimpen in Devonshire, and I think you must be Mr Sherlock Holmes.' He

shook hands with Holmes, who said:

'How do you do, Dr Mortimer? May I introduce my good friend, Dr John

Watson, who helps me with my cases. I hope you will allow him to listen

to our conversation.'

'Of course,' said Mortimer, as he turned to me and shook hands. 'I need

your help very badly, Mr Holmes. If it will be useful for Dr Watson to

hear what I have to say, please let him stay and listen.'

Mortimer did not look like a country doctor. He was very tall and thin.

He had a long thin nose. His grey eyes were bright, and he wore gold

glasses. His coat and trousers were old and worn. His face was young,

but his shoulders were bent like an old man's and his head was pushed

forward. He took some papers from his pocket, and said:

'Mr Holmes, I need your help and advice. Something very strange and

frightening has been happening.'

'Sit down, Dr Mortimer,' said Holmes, 'and tell us your problem. I'll help

you if I can.'
