Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 4
I
thought
Sherlock
Holmes
would
be
bored,
but
he
listened
very
carefully.
"Your
money,"
he
asked,
"does
it
come
from
the
business?"
"Oh,
no,
sir.
It
is
different.
My
uncle
Ned
in
Auckland
left
it
to
me.
It
is
in
New
Zealand
stock.
It
pays
4½
per
cent.
It
was
two
thousand
five
hundred
pounds,
but
I
can
only
use
the
interest."
"You
interest
me
very
much,"
said
Holmes.
"You
get
a
hundred
a
year,
plus
what
you
earn.
I
think
a
single
lady
can
live
well
on
about
£60."
"I
can
live
on
less,
Mr.
Holmes.
But
I
live
at
home
and
don't
want
to
be
a
burden.
They
use
the
money
while
I
stay
with
them.
Mr.
Windibank
takes
my
interest
every
quarter
and
gives
it
to
mother.
I
earn
money
typing.
I
get
twopence
a
sheet
and
can
do
fifteen
to
twenty
sheets
a
day."
"You
explained
your
situation
well,"
said
Holmes.
"This
is
my
friend,
Dr.
Watson.
You
can
talk
to
him
like
you
talk
to
me.
Now,
tell
us
about
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
Miss
Sutherland
blushed
and
played
with
her
jacket.
"I
met
him
at
the
gasfitters'
ball,"
she
said.
"They
sent
father
tickets
when
he
was
alive
and
then
sent
them
to
mother.
Mr.
Windibank
did
not
want
us
to
go.
He
never
wanted
us
to
go
anywhere.
He
got
mad
if
I
wanted
to
go
to
a
Sunday-school
treat.
But
I
wanted
to
go
to
the
ball,
so
I
went.
He
said
the
people
were
not
good
for
us,
but
all
father’s
friends
were
there.
He
said
I
had
nothing
to
wear,
but
I
had
a
purple
dress.
He
went
to
France
for
business,
so
mother
and
I
went
with
Mr.
Hardy.
There,
I
met
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
"I
suppose,"
said
Holmes,
"when
Mr.
Windibank
came
back
from
France,
he
was
angry
you
went
to
the
ball."
