Prelude

Memories on Baker Street

June 1894

“As far as I can tell, Watson, from the copy of The Strand, which I noticed on the table over there, the case of Irene Adler, thanks to you, became public,” said Sherlock Holmes.

It was a warm summer evening outside the window, and we were just finishing a sumptuous supper prepared for us by the kind Mrs. Hudson. I took a sip of Burgundy to hide my satisfied smile. It always seemed strange to me that my friend, perhaps the most observant person in the world, paid absolutely no attention to the stack of monthly Strand magazines that I acquired whenever my story of our adventures was published there. These stories were published for three years with enviable regularity, and I started publishing them in 1891, after everyone thought that Holmes was no longer alive.

I sincerely hoped that now that my friend had risen from the dead, he would certainly familiarize himself with the results of my attempts to perpetuate the memory of him and his incredible deductive abilities. However, Holmes's modesty made itself felt in his attitude to my stories: the great detective rarely read my modest works about his own adventures.

“It looks like my stories are popular enough,” I said casually.

- Popularity? - Holmes reached for the pipe, which he loved to smoke after hearty dinners, and his face for a moment acquired an absent expression. - I have no doubt that the catchy headlines are largely the reason.

- What do you dislike about the title? "Scandal in Bohemia". In my opinion, the title quite reflects the essence of the matter, - I said, sincerely hoping that my answer did not sound too harsh. For us amateur writers, praise means a lot.

- Do you think so? Holmes said with restraint.

- Let me ask you, how would you call the story in my place? - I could not bear it.

- "The Best of Women."

Despite the thick puffs of blue-gray tobacco smoke, I saw Holmes' eyes sparkle.

“The King of Bohemia did not consider her as such,” I reminded her. “Otherwise he would have married her.

- If all people approached the matter in the same manner, giving priority to the pedigree, believe me, life would be much more boring. In addition, I dare say - Holmes smiled rather, plunging into memories, which happened to him extremely rarely, - His Majesty himself has repeatedly emphasized that Irene would have turned out to be a beautiful queen. The soundest thing I've ever heard from him. However, Watson, you misunderstood me. I am aware that a story needs to have a catchy title to grab attention. I do not agree with you on another point. You made a significant mistake in your story.

- A mistake?

- Exactly.

- It can not be. I wrote the story based on the entries in my diary. They are very detailed, and besides, by virtue of my profession, I am always very attentive to details. I do not argue that the events in question took place six years ago, but ...

“I'm not talking about the details of the case, Watson, but about what happened after.

“I’m afraid I don’t understand you,” I surrendered, pushing aside Mrs. Hudson’s delicious lemon pie.

- You write about Irene Adler as if she is not alive, calling her "now deceased." This is an unforgivable mistake.

- But have mercy, they wrote about her death in The Times! Monstrous train disaster in the Alps. Both her and her husband's names were on the list of the victims.

“You needlessly trust The Times so unconditionally. They do not always write the truth there, '' Holmes said in the tone in which he spoke to me when I argued with a friend out of principle, already realizing my own wrong, but not wanting to admit it. “Often we are too hasty to record people as dead. This, in particular, we observed in the case of me.

The hint was more than transparent. I sincerely believed that Holmes died in the Reichenbach Falls, and remained in this confidence until April, when my friend suddenly "rose from the dead." Forgetting my vanity as a writer, I tried to grasp the thread of Holmes' reasoning.

"Do you think Irene Adler is still alive, buddy?" I said in amazement.

Holmes's gaze slid to a framed photograph of the woman in question. This photograph occupied an honorable place in the collection of memorabilia of the famous detective.

“You see, Watson, only four people have led me in my entire life. Three men and one woman. She. If she can get me around her finger, she is quite capable of deceiving death itself.

I felt irritated, although I realized that Holmes did not realize how overwhelmingly vain his words sounded. His ambition was as incredible as his ability to fish out a lot of evidence from mere little things.

I felt irritated, although I realized that Holmes did not realize how overwhelmingly vain his words sounded. His ambition was as incredible as his ability to fish out a lot of evidence from mere little things.

“So you think she’s still alive?” I asked again.

“I think so,” he replied firmly after a long silence. - I did not specifically investigate to get an answer to this question. What you heard from me is just a guess, an assumption. However, you yourself know what my assumptions are usually based on.

It seemed absurd to me to question Holmes' phenomenal intelligence. In expressing this or that version, my friend was based on incredible intuition and inner logic.

I looked again at the photograph of the woman we were talking about. Despite the fact that before leaving London she married Godfrey Norton and signed a letter addressed to Holmes as "Irene Norton, née Adler", for me she was always Irene Adler, an opera diva and an outstanding adventurer.

Like many actresses, she was a very attractive woman. I saw her with my own eyes only once, and even then from a distance, but in the photograph she appeared before me in all its glory - with a truly regal posture and a shock of thick dark hair, styled into an intricate hairstyle. In the photo, she was officially dressed, but the dress had a deep neckline that accentuated her breasts - and, I must say, for all my impartiality, the breasts were luxurious. The hat and jewelry complemented the woman's grace and amazing beauty.
