"A presentation, I see," said Holmes.

"Yes, sir."

"From Charing Cross Hospital?"

"From one or two friends there on the occasion of my marriage."

"Dear, dear, that's bad!" said Holmes, shaking his head.
福尔摩斯摇了摇头，说："哎呀，哎呀，这可糟了！"
Dr. Mortimer blinked through his glasses in mild astonishment.

"Come, come, we are not so far wrong, after all," said Holmes.
