The Adventure of the Speckled Band
Capítulo 8, Página 4
"In
India,
Dr.
Roylott
married
my
mother,
Mrs.
Stoner.
She
was
Major-General
Stoner's
widow.
My
sister
Julia
and
I
were
twins.
We
were
two
years
old
when
she
married
again.
My
mother
had
money,
£1000
a
year.
She
left
it
to
Dr.
Roylott
while
we
lived
with
him.
If
we
married,
we
got
some
money
too.
We
came
back
to
England,
and
my
mother
died
in
a
train
accident.
Dr.
Roylott
stopped
trying
to
work
in
London.
We
lived
with
him
in
the
old
house
at
Stoke
Moran.
My
mother's
money
was
enough,
and
we
were
happy."
"But
then,
our
stepfather
changed.
He
did
not
make
friends.
He
stayed
in
the
house
and
fought
with
people.
The
family
always
had
a
bad
temper.
His
time
in
the
tropics
made
it
worse.
He
had
many
fights,
and
two
went
to
court.
People
were
scared
of
him.
He
was
very
strong
and
very
angry."
"Last
week,
he
threw
the
blacksmith
into
a
stream.
I
had
to
pay
money
to
keep
it
quiet.
He
had
no
friends
except
some
gipsies.
They
camped
on
our
land.
He
liked
Indian
animals.
He
had
a
cheetah
and
a
baboon.
They
walked
around
the
land,
and
people
were
scared
of
them."
"My
sister
Julia
and
I
were
not
happy.
No
servant
stayed
with
us.
We
did
all
the
work.
Julia
was
thirty
when
she
died.
Her
hair
was
turning
white,
like
mine."
"Your
sister
is
dead?"
"Yes,
she
died
two
years
ago.
I
want
to
tell
you
about
it.
We
did
not
meet
many
people.
But
we
had
an
aunt,
Miss
Honoria
Westphail.
She
lived
near
Harrow.
We
visited
her
sometimes.
Julia
went
there
two
years
ago
at
Christmas.
She
met
a
major
and
got
engaged.
My
stepfather
knew
and
did
not
object.
But
two
weeks
before
the
wedding,
something
terrible
happened."
Sherlock
Holmes
sat
in
his
chair
with
his
eyes
closed.
Then
he
opened
them
and
looked
at
his
visitor.
"Please
tell
me
the
details,"
he
said.
