Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: Sherlock Holmes - The Adventure of the Three Garridebs 29



"Only attempted murder, so far as I can see," said Holmes. "But that's not our job. They take that at the next stage. What we wanted at present was just your sweet self. Please give the Yard a call, Watson. It won't be entirely unexpected."
So those were the facts about Killer Evans and his remarkable invention of the three Garridebs. We heard later that our poor old friend never got over the shock of his dissipated dreams.
"Intento de asesinato, si lo veo bien", dijo Holmes. "Pero esto no es nuestro trabajo. Lo van a hacer en el futuro. Lo único que quisimos en este momento era su persona misma. Por favor, llame Yard Watson. No será completamente
inesperado." Esto eran los hechos en cuanto se refiere al asesino Evans y su notable invención de los tres Garridebs. Más tarde supimos que nuestro viejo amigo nunca se curó del choque de ver su sus sueños disipados.

When his castle in the air fell down, it buried him beneath the ruins. He was last heard of at a nursing-home in Brixton. It was a glad day at the Yard when the Prescott outfit was discovered, for, though they knew that it existed, they had never been able, after the death of the man, to find out where it was.
Al derrumbarse su castillo en el aire, se lo llevó con las ruinas. La última vez que se supo de él era de un sanatorio in Brixton. Era un felix día para Yard cuando la máquina de Prescott fue descubierto, porque, a pesar de que sabían que existe, nunca han sido capaces, después de la muerte de este hombre, averiguar donde está.

Evans had indeed done great service and caused several worthy C. I. D. men to sleep the sounder, for the counterfeiter stands in a class by himself as a public danger. They would willingly have subscribed to that soup-plate medal of which the criminal had spoken, but an unappreciative bench took a less favourable view, and the Killer returned to those shades from which he had just emerged.
Evan había efectivamente prestado un buen servicio y permitió a varios valiosos hombres de C.I.D. de dormir más sano, porque el falsificador presentó una clase extra de peligro público. Habían consentido a esta medalla sopera de la cual había hablado el criminal, pero un juez desaprobándolo todo lo vio de manera distinta y el asesino volvió a las sombras de las cuales había salido.
