Having completed my studies there, I was duly attached the Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers as assistant surgeon. The regiment was stationed in India at the time, and before I could join it, the second Afghan war had broken out. On landing at Bombay, I learn that my corps had advanced through the passes was already deep in the enemy's country. I folk however, with many other officers who were in the same situation as myself, and succeeded in reaching Candahar in safety, where I found my regiment, and at once entered upon my new duties.The campaign brought honours and promotion to many, but for me it had nothing but misfortune disaster. 1 was removed from my brigade and attached to the Berkshires, with whom the fatal battle of Maiwand.
I had neither kith nor kin in England, and was therefore as free as air——-oras free as an income of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit a man to be. Under such circumstances I naturally gravitated to London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained. There I stayed for some time at a private hotel in the Strand, leadinga comfortless, meaningless existence, and spending such money as I had, considerably more freely than I ought. So alarming did the state of my finances become, that I soon realized that I must either leave the metropolis and rusticate somewhere in the country, or that I must make a completealte ration in my style of living. Choosing the latter alternative, I began by making up my mind to leave the hotel, and take up my quarters in some less pretentious and less expensive domicile. On the very day that I had come to this conclusion, I was standing at the Criterion Bar, when someone tapped me on the shoulder, and turning ground I recognized young Stamford, who had been a dresser under me at Bart's. The sight of a friendly face in the great wilderness of London is apleas ant thing indeed to a lonely man. In old days Stamford had never beena particular crony of mine, but now I hailed him with enthusiasm, and he, in his turn, appeared to be delighted to see me. In the exuberance of my joy, Lasked him to lunch with me at the Holborn, and we started off together in ahansom."Whatever have you been doing with yourself, Watson?" he asked in und is guised wonder, as we rattled through the crowded London streets. "You are as thin as a lath and as brown as a nut." I gave him a short sketch of my adventures, and had hardly concluded it by the time that we reached our destination. "Poor devil!" he said, commiserate in gly, after he had listened to my misfortunes. "What are you up to now?" ,Looking for lodgings," I answered. "Trying to solve the problem as tow hether it is possible to get comfortable rooms at a reasonable price." "That's a strange thing," remarked my companion; "you are the second man today that has used that expression to me."~ "And who was the first?" I asked.
作者:(英国)柯南·道尔(Conan Doyle.A.)Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (I859-I93O) was a Scottish author most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major: 'innovation in the field of crime fiction, and for the adventures of Professor Challenger. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction.Doyle himself was not a good example of rational personality: he believed in fairies and was interested in occultism. Sherlock Holmes stories have been translated into more than fifty languages, and made into plays, films, radio and television series, a musical comedy, a ballet, cartoons, comic books, and advertisement. By 1920 Doyle was one of the most highly paid writers in the world.
