PANE,
pova\u017euji za spr\u00e1vn\u00e9, abyste byl informov\u00e1n o jist\u00fdch skute\u010dnostech, kter\u00e9 jsem se dozv\u011bd\u011bl o n\u011bkter\u00fdch \u0161perc\u00edch sle\u010dny Wardenov\u00e9, tj. o diamantov\u00e9m n\u00e1hrdeln\u00edku, n\u00e1u\u0161nic\u00edch a bro\u017ei, kter\u00e9 V\u00e1m ji\u017e byly vr\u00e1ceny prost\u0159ednictv\u00edm pana Varleyho, a o staro\u017eitn\u00e9m rub\u00ednov\u00e9m prstenu, kter\u00fd sle\u010dna Wardenov\u00e1 \u00fadajn\u011b m\u011bla na sob\u011b v den, kdy opustila domov, ale kter\u00fd ve skute\u010dnosti nechala na toaletn\u00edm stolku spolu s diamanty, je\u017e m\u011bla na sob\u011b p\u0159edchoz\u00edho ve\u010dera na plese hrabstv\u00ed Leicestershire.

M\u00fdm inform\u00e1torem je jist\u00e1 sle\u010dna Marian Kempeov\u00e1, o n\u00ed\u017e jsem se, jak si mo\u017en\u00e1 vzpom\u00edn\u00e1te, ve sv\u00fdch zpr\u00e1v\u00e1ch pro V\u00e1s jednou nebo dvakr\u00e1t zm\u00ednil jako o p\u0159\u00edbuzn\u00e9 d\u00edvky Lucy Williamsov\u00e9, sv\u00e9ho \u010dasu slu\u017eebn\u00e9 sle\u010dny Wardenov\u00e9.
Tato d\u00edvka Williamsov\u00e1, pokud si vzpom\u00edn\u00e1te, m\u011bla, jak jsem uvedl, velmi ne\u010destn\u00e9ho bratra, kter\u00fd byl odsouzen za spol\u010den\u00ed s pytl\u00e1ky, kte\u0159\u00ed vykr\u00e1dali panstv\u00ed jeho p\u00e1na. Po propu\u0161t\u011bn\u00ed z v\u011bzen\u00ed se vr\u00e1til do sv\u00e9ho rodi\u0161t\u011b a op\u011bt upadl do sv\u00fdch star\u00fdch zh\u00fdral\u00fdch zvyk\u016f. Zd\u00e1 se, \u017ee p\u0159i n\u011bkolika p\u0159\u00edle\u017eitostech vedl rozhovory se svou sestrou ve va\u0161em dom\u011b a r\u016fzn\u00fdmi zp\u016fsoby j\u00ed vyhro\u017eoval, pokud nese\u017eene dostatek pen\u011bz, aby mu umo\u017enila dostat se do New Yorku nebo do jin\u00e9ho velk\u00e9ho m\u011bsta, kde doufal, \u017ee pomoc\u00ed fale\u0161n\u00fdch doklad\u016f najde n\u011bjak\u00e9 prost\u0159edky k ob\u017eiv\u011b.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pak do\u0161lo k z\u00e1hadn\u00e9mu zmizen\u00ed sle\u010dny Wardenov\u00e9 a \u0161perky voln\u011b le\u017e\u00edc\u00ed na stole se uk\u00e1zaly b\u00fdt p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 siln\u00fdm poku\u0161en\u00edm pro d\u00edvku, kter\u00e1 diamanty a prsten ihned ukryla, a kdy\u017e jste ji po\u017e\u00e1dal o \u0161aty, v nich\u017e m\u011bla sle\u010dnu Wardenovou popsat v inzer\u00e1tech, chyt\u0159e do popisu zahrnula i prsten. Ihned jej p\u0159edala sv\u00e9mu bratrovi, kter\u00fd se okam\u017eit\u011b vydal do Liverpoolu s \u00famyslem po\u010dkat tam na dal\u0161\u00ed \u0161perky, kter\u00e9 mu sestra sl\u00edbila, pokud to bude mo\u017en\u00e9, obstarat.
Diamanty si z\u0159ejm\u011b na n\u011bjakou dobu nechala pro p\u0159\u00edpad, \u017ee by ji o n\u011b n\u011bkdo po\u017e\u00e1dal, ale ve zmatku, do n\u011bho\u017e se V\u00e1\u0161 d\u016fm dostal, a pan\u00ed Wardenov\u00e1 byla p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 nemocn\u00e1, ne\u017e aby se o v\u011bc p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 zaj\u00edmala, je nepostr\u00e1dala; ve skute\u010dnosti se domn\u00edv\u00e1m, \u017ee \u0161perkovnice nebyla ani otev\u0159ena, kdy\u017e byla p\u0159ed\u00e1na do p\u00e9\u010de pan\u00ed Wardenov\u00e9.
D\u00edvka m\u011bla nejsp\u00ed\u0161 v \u00famyslu zbavit se diamant\u016f v Lond\u00fdn\u011b a pot\u00e9 ut\u00e9ct se sv\u00fdm bratrem do New Yorku, kdy\u017e, jak v\u00edte, onemocn\u011bla ne\u0161tovicemi a zem\u0159ela v dom\u011b sv\u00e9 p\u0159\u00edbuzn\u00e9, sle\u010dny Marian Kempeov\u00e9, o n\u00ed\u017e jsem se ji\u017e zm\u00ednil.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tato sle\u010dna Kempeov\u00e1 je nepochybn\u011b \u017eena dobr\u00e9ho charakteru, zast\u00e1v\u00e1 extr\u00e9mn\u00ed n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00e9 n\u00e1zory a je ochotna ob\u011btovat v\u0161e, aby splnila svou povinnost. Kdysi byla zasnoubena s Tomem Williamsem, a p\u0159esto\u017ee byl tento svazek zru\u0161en, je k n\u011bmu z\u0159ejm\u011b st\u00e1le velmi upnut\u00e1. Asi p\u0159ed t\u00fddnem ke mn\u011b p\u0159i\u0161la v cestovn\u00edm oble\u010den\u00ed a vypadala velmi unaven\u011b z dlouh\u00e9 cesty, kterou pr\u00fd pr\u00e1v\u011b absolvovala p\u0159es kan\u00e1l La Manche. Tak\u00e9 se zd\u00e1la b\u00fdt velmi rozru\u0161en\u00e1 a vzru\u0161en\u00fdm t\u00f3nem se m\u011b zeptala, zda jsem n\u011bkdy \u010detl evangelium a zda v\u00edm, koho p\u0159i\u0161el Kristus hledat a spasit?
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPod\u00edvejte se, sle\u010dno Kempeov\u00e1,\u201d odpov\u011bd\u011bl jsem, \u201cpokud nar\u00e1\u017e\u00edte na celn\u00edky a h\u0159\u00ed\u0161n\u00edky, usuzuji, \u017ee mi chcete n\u011bco \u0159\u00edci o tom dareb\u00e1kovi Tomu Williamsovi. Pokud ano, \u0159ekn\u011bte to, pros\u00edm, hned, proto\u017ee na k\u00e1z\u00e1n\u00ed nem\u00e1m \u010das, to v\u00e1s uji\u0161\u0165uji.\u201d

\u201cNen\u00ed to \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd dareb\u00e1k,\u201d \u0159ekla rozho\u0159\u010den\u011b, \u201c je to kaj\u00edc\u00ed se h\u0159\u00ed\u0161n\u00edk a je\u0161t\u011b bude, pros\u00edm Boha, za\u0159azen mezi vyvolen\u00e9. Pak mi za\u010dala vypr\u00e1v\u011bt velmi neobvykl\u00fd p\u0159\u00edb\u011bh. Jak onen Tom Williams p\u0159ijel do Liverpoolu s \u00famyslem po\u010dkat tam na Lucy; jak \u010dekal a \u010dekal a nakonec se n\u011bjak\u00fdm tajn\u00fdm kan\u00e1lem dozv\u011bd\u011bl zpr\u00e1vu o jej\u00ed smrti a o tom, \u017ee diamanty byly vr\u00e1ceny. Ve sp\u011bchu, aby unikl, nastoupil na prvn\u00ed parn\u00edk, na kter\u00fd narazil a kter\u00fd n\u00e1hodou sm\u011b\u0159oval do Boulogne. Je tak\u00e9 mo\u017en\u00e9, \u017ee si p\u0159edstavoval, \u017ee bude v bezpe\u010d\u00ed sp\u00ed\u0161e za kan\u00e1lem La Manche ne\u017e za Atlantikem. Po p\u0159ist\u00e1n\u00ed v Boulogne se z\u0159ejm\u011b v opilosti poh\u00e1dal s jedn\u00edm italsk\u00fdm n\u00e1mo\u0159n\u00edkem, kter\u00fd ho t\u011b\u017ece zranil velk\u00fdm no\u017eem do stehna. Toma nakonec odneslo n\u011bkolik kolemjdouc\u00edch do klidn\u00e9ho podn\u00e1jmu na n\u00e1b\u0159e\u017e\u00ed a pan\u00ed domu mu projevila velkou laskavou pozornost. Po t\u00e9to p\u0159\u00edhod\u011b se dostavila hore\u010dka a Tom byl na dn\u011b. Zcela bez p\u0159\u00e1tel, v ciz\u00ed zemi a na pokraji smrti se jeho my\u0161lenky obr\u00e1tily ke sle\u010dn\u011b Kempeov\u00e9 jako k osob\u011b, kter\u00e1 mu nejsp\u00ed\u0161 pom\u016f\u017ee z nesn\u00e1z\u00ed. Obr\u00e1til se na ni proto s prosbou, formulovanou velmi kaj\u00edcn\u00fdm jazykem, a prosil ji, aby mu d\u00edky sv\u00e9 d\u0159\u00edv\u011bj\u0161\u00ed n\u00e1klonnosti pomohla z jeho h\u0159\u00edchu a b\u00eddy.

Tento dopis poslal v utajen\u00ed n\u011bjak\u00e9mu sv\u00e9mu p\u0159\u00edteli v Lond\u00fdn\u011b, kter\u00fd ho poslal na adresu sle\u010dny Kempeov\u00e9. N\u00e1vnada se mu n\u00e1ramn\u011b povedla. \u017dena ihned zamkla sv\u016fj pokoj, zbavila se n\u011bkolika cennost\u00ed, kter\u00e9 m\u011bla, a vydala se na cestu do Boulogne.
Kdy\u017e si na n\u00e1dra\u017e\u00ed Charing Cross cht\u011bla vz\u00edt l\u00edstek na no\u010dn\u00ed vlak, zahl\u00e9dla na n\u00e1stupi\u0161ti Va\u0161e zavazadlo adresovan\u00e9 do Boulogne. Okam\u017eit\u011b usoudila, \u017ee pron\u00e1sledujete Toma, a rozhodla se po\u010dkat a sledovat Va\u0161e po\u010d\u00edn\u00e1n\u00ed. Druh\u00fd den r\u00e1no v\u0161ak p\u0159e\u0161la na druh\u00fd b\u0159eh, sp\u011bchala za Tomem, informovala ho o Va\u0161em p\u0159\u00edchodu a zeptala se ho, co by m\u011bl podle jej\u00edho n\u00e1zoru ud\u011blat.

\u201cTohle cht\u011bj\u00ed, Mariano,\u201d \u0159ekl a vyt\u00e1hl prsten zpod pol\u0161t\u00e1\u0159e, \u201cvezmi jim ho a vy\u017eebrej pro m\u011b svobodu.

Kdy\u017e k tomu kone\u010dn\u011b sebrala odvahu, zabloudila n\u00e1hodou do Va\u0161eho ob\u00fdvac\u00edho pokoje a kdy\u017e na\u0161la lorda Hardcastla sp\u00edc\u00edho u krbu, napadlo ji, \u017ee mu prsten nasad\u00ed na prst, zat\u00edmco bude sp\u00e1t, \u010d\u00edm\u017e se vyhne nep\u0159\u00edjemn\u00fdm ot\u00e1zk\u00e1m, a myslela si, uboh\u00e1 bl\u00e1hov\u00e1 \u017eena, \u017ee kdy\u017e V\u00e1m bude navr\u00e1cen V\u00e1\u0161 majetek, nebudete u\u017e cht\u00edt toho dareb\u00e1ka st\u00edhat. Kdy\u017e za mnou p\u0159i\u0161la, m\u011bla dvoj\u00ed c\u00edl. Za prv\u00e9 ujistit m\u011b o pravosti pok\u00e1n\u00ed toho mu\u017ee a za druh\u00e9 zjistit, pokud je to mo\u017en\u00e9, V\u00e1\u0161 z\u00e1m\u011br v t\u00e9to v\u011bci.
Samoz\u0159ejm\u011b by nebylo nic snaz\u0161\u00edho ne\u017e toho mu\u017ee postavit p\u0159ed soud. Nem\u00e1m nejmen\u0161\u00ed v\u00edru v jeho kaj\u00edcnost, a d\u00e1le si mysl\u00edm, \u017ee pokud se uzdrav\u00ed, p\u0159im\u011bje tu poblouzn\u011bnou \u017eenu, aby si ho vzala kv\u016fli jej\u00edm mal\u00fdm \u00faspor\u00e1m.
