I shall have to tell my tale to the police; but, between ourselves, if it were not for the convincing evidence of this wound of mine, I should be surprised if they believed my statement, for it is a very extraordinary one, and I have not much in the way of proof with which to back it up; and, even if they believe me, the clues which I can give them are so vague that it is a question whether justice will be done."
Tendré que contárselo todo a la policía; pero, entre nosotros, si no fuera por la convincente evidencia de esta herida mía, me sorprendería que creyeran mi declaración, pues se trata de una historia extraordinaria y no dispongo de gran cosa que sirva de prueba para respaldarla. E, incluso si me creyeran, las pistas que puedo darles son tan imprecisas que difícilmente podrá hacerse justicia.
