|
A slow and heavy step, which had been heard upon the stairs
|
[ ə sləu ənd 'hevi step wiʧ hæd bi:n heard ju:pɔn ðe steərz ]
|
and in the corridor, paused immediately outside the door.
|
|
|
A very tall man entered,
|
[ ə 'veri tɔ:l mæn 'enterd ]
|
with the chest and limbs of a Hercules.
|
|
|
His dress was rich with a richness
|
[ hiz dres wɒz riʧ wið ə 'riʧnis ]
|
which would in England, be considered bad taste.
|
|
|
He was wearing a double-breasted coat
|
[ hi: wɒz wɛəɪŋ ə dʌbl-brestɪd kəut ]
|
with fur-trimmed collar.
|
|
|
He had a thick moustache and a straight chin suggesting strong determination,
|
|
but a black mask hid the upper part of his face.
|
|
|
He was carrying a hat in one hand, while his other hand was raised,
|
|
as if he had just finished straightening his mask.
|
|
|
The strange visitor said that he was a Count
|
[ ðe streinʤ visitɔr sed ðæt hi: wɒz ə kaunt ]
|
and he wanted to speak to Sherlock Holmes.
|
|
|
Holmes remarked that he would be happy to advise the man
|
[ hɔlmez ri'mɑ:kt ðæt hi: wɔʌld bi: 'hæpi tu: əd'vais ðe mæn ]
|
who, as he had guessed, actually was a King.
|
|
|
The man sprang from his chair, paced nervously up and down the room,
|
|
then took off the mask and threw it on the floor.
|
|
|
"You are right!" he cried.
|
[ ju: ɑ: rait hi: kraid ]
|
"I am the King. Why should I try to hide it?"
|
|
|
"Why, indeed?" said Holmes.
|
[ wai in'di:d sed hɔlmez ]
|
"I knew, even before you spoke, that you were the King of Bohemia."
