Interpretação do texto:


(Sherlock Holmes, uma figura de ficção criada pelo escritor Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

Elementary, my dear Doyle!

The famous detective Sherlock Holmes never existed, except in the stories created by the British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930). But Holmes used to be a popular at the beginning of the century that many peoples sent letters, telegrams, and even presents to 221B Baker Street, London. That was Holmes’s fictitious address. Peoples from all over the world used to go there, and they would try to see Holmes or ask for his autograph. Sherlock Holmes was more than a story character; he was a myth. “Elementary, my dear Watson”, the phrase Holmes would say to his colleague Dr. Watson after he had solved another complicated case, is a common expression still in use today.
There is a (true) story about Holmes’s creator, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The writer used to go to France every year, to visit some friends there. He would always go to Nice first and from there he would take a train to Paris he took a taxi to his hotel. When he arrived at the hotel he got out of the taxi and paid the driver.
“Thank you very much, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,” said the taxi driver smiling, as he put down Doyle’s bags near the hotel door.
“How did you discovery my name?”, asked the writer in great surprise.
“Simple, sir. I read in the newspaper that you would be in Nice this morning. The train on which you arrived came from Nice. Your clothes, and especially your hat, told me that you are English. I put all this together and I knew immediately that you were Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.”
“That’s wonderful!”, said the writer. “with only those facts you were able to recognize me!”
“Naturally,” said the taxi driver. “Your name is on both of your bags. That also helped!”
