"Oh, then we have three days yet," said Holmes with a yawn. "That is very fortunate, as I have one or two matters of importance to look into just at present. Your Majesty will, of course, stay in London for the present?"

"Oh, então ainda temos três dias", disse Holmes com um bocejo. "É muito afortunado, pois tenho uma ou duas questões de importância a tratar justamente agora. Sua Majestade ficará, naturalmente, em Londres por enquanto?"

"Certainly. You will find me at the Langham under the name of the Count Von Kramm."

"Certamente. Encontrará-me no Langham sob o nome do Conde Von Kramm."

"Then I shall drop you a line to let you know how we progress."

"Então enviarei uma breve mensagem para informá-lo do nosso progresso."

"Pray do so. I shall be all anxiety."

"Por favor, faça-o. Estarei ansioso."

"Then, as to money?"

"E quanto ao dinheiro?"

"You have _carte blanche_."

"O senhor tem carta branca."

"Absolutely?"

"Absolutamente?"

"I tell you that I would give one of the provinces of my kingdom to have that photograph."

"Digo-lhe que daria uma das províncias do meu reino para ter essa fotografia."

"And for present expenses?"

"E para as despesas imediatas?"

The King took a heavy chamois leather bag from under his cloak and laid it on the table.

O Rei tirou de baixo do seu manto uma pesada bolsa de camurça e colocou-a sobre a mesa.

"There are three hundred pounds in gold and seven hundred in notes," he said.

"Há trezentas libras em ouro e setecentas em notas", disse ele.

Holmes scribbled a receipt upon a sheet of his note-book and handed it to him.

Holmes rabiscou um recibo numa folha do seu caderno e entregou-lho.

"And Mademoiselle's address?" he asked.

"E o endereço da Mademoiselle?" perguntou ele.

"Is Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood."

"É Briony Lodge, Serpentine Avenue, St. John's Wood."

Holmes took a note of it. "One other question," said he. "Was the photograph a cabinet?"

Holmes tomou nota. "Mais uma pergunta", disse ele. "A fotografia era de gabinete?"

"It was."

"Era."

"Then, good-night, your Majesty, and I trust that we shall soon have some good news for you. And good-night, Watson," he added, as the wheels of the royal brougham rolled down the street.

"Então, boa-noite, Vossa Majestade, e confio que em breve teremos boas notícias para si. E boa-noite, Watson", acrescentou ele, enquanto as rodas da carruagem real rolavam pela rua abaixo.
