CHAPTER I. Down the Rabbit-Hole
|
||||
|
||||
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the
|
||||
bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the
|
||||
book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in
|
||||
it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or
|
||||
conversation?'
|
||||
|
||||
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the
|
||||
hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure
|
||||
of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and
|
||||
picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran
|
||||
close by her.

ADVENTURE I. A SCANDAL IN BOHEMIA
|
||||
|
||||
I.
|
||||
|
||||
To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard
|
||||
him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses
|
||||
and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt
|
||||
any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that
|
||||
one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise but
|
||||
admirably balanced mind. He was, I take it, the most perfect
|
||||
reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a
|
||||
lover he would have placed himself in a false position. He never
|
||||
spoke of the softer passions, save with a gibe and a sneer. They
|
||||
were admirable things for the observer--excellent for drawing the
|
||||
veil from men's motives and actions. But for the trained reasoner
|
||||
to admit such intrusions into his own delicate and finely
|
||||
adjusted temperament was to introduce a distracting factor which
|
||||
might throw a doubt upon all his mental results. Grit in a
|
||||
sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his own high-power
|
||||
lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a
|
||||
nature such as his. And yet there was but one woman to him, and
|
||||
that woman was the late Irene Adler, of dubious and questionable
|
||||
memory.
