    About this ebook

    «Человек с рассеченной губой» – один из самых захватывающих рассказов Артура Конан Дойла из цикла о Шерлоке Холмсе (1892 год). Как замечает сам Шерлок Холмс, в его практике не было случая, который на первый взгляд казался бы таким простым и был бы в действительности таким трудным.
    Текст незначительно сокращен и адаптирован, сопровождается комментариями, разными видами упражнений и кратким словарем.
    Предназначается для продолжающих изучать английский язык (уровень 2 – Pre-Intermediate).

      I

      Isa Whitney, brother of the late Elias Whitney, Principal of the Theological College of St. George’s, was addicted to opium. He developed a habit, as I understand, when he was at college. He found, as so many people before him, that it is easier to start than to stop smoking it, and for many years he continued to be a slave to the drug, and his friends and relatives felt horror and pity for him at the same time. I can see him now, with yellow, pale face, the wreck and ruin of a noble man.

      One night my door bell rang, about the hour when a man yawns and glances at the clock. I sat up in my chair, and my wife laid her needle-work[1] down and made a disappointed face.

      A patient! said she. You’ll have to go out.

      I sighed, because I’ve just come back from a hard day.

      We heard the front door open, a few hurried words, and then quick steps upon the linoleum. Our own door opened, and a lady, dressed in dark-coloured clothes, with a black veil, entered the room.

      Excuse me for coming so late, she began, and then, suddenly losing her self-control, she ran forward to my wife and sobbed upon her shoulder. Oh, I’m in such trouble! she cried; I need help so much!

      it is Kate Whitney, said my wife, pulling up her veil. How you frightened me, Kate! I had no idea who you were when you came in.

      I didn’t know what to do, so l came straight to you. It was always like that. People who were in trouble came to my wife like birds to a light-house.

      It was very sweet of you to come. Now, you must have some wine and water, and sit here comfortably and tell us all about it. Or would you like me to send James off to bed?

      Oh, no, no! I want the doctor’s advice and help, too. It’s about Isa. He has not been home for two days. I am so frightened about him!

      It was not the first time that she had spoken to us of her husband’s trouble, to me as a doctor, to my wife as an old school friend. We tried to find the words to comfort her. Did she know where her husband was? Was it possible that we could bring him back to her?

      It seems that it was. She had the surest information that lately he had used an opium den in the east of the City. So far his absence had always been limited with one day, and he had come back, twitching and exhausted, in the evening. But now the spell had been upon him eight-and-forty hours, and he lay there, doubtless among the dregs of the docks, breathing in the poison or sleeping off the effects. There he could be found, she was sure of it, at the Bar of Gold, in Upper Swandam Lane. But what was she to do? How could she, a young and modest woman, come to such a place and pluck her husband out from among the dregs who surrounded him?

      * * *

      There was the case, and of course there was only one way out of it.
