"Ya sabe usted, Watson, que una de las maldiciones de una mente como la mía es que tengo que mirarlo todo desde el punto de vista de mi especialidad. Usted mira esas casas dispersas y se siente impresionado por su belleza. Yo las miro, y el único pensamiento que me viene a la cabeza es lo aisladas que están, y la impunidad con que puede cometerse un crimen en ellas. [...] Siempre me han producido un cierto horror. Tengo la convicción, Watson,...
