The Adventure of the Engineer's Thumb
Capítulo 9, Página 15
"We
went
upstairs.
The
colonel
had
a
lamp.
Mr.
Ferguson
and
I
followed.
The
house
was
like
a
maze.
There
were
corridors
and
stairs.
The
walls
were
old
and
damp.
I
remembered
the
lady's
warning.
I
watched
the
two
men.
Mr.
Ferguson
was
quiet.
But
I
knew
he
was
from
my
country."
"Colonel
Stark
stopped
at
a
small
door.
He
unlocked
it.
The
room
was
small.
Only
two
could
fit.
Mr.
Ferguson
stayed
outside.
The
colonel
took
me
in."
"We
are
in
the
press,"
he
said.
"It
is
dangerous
if
it
starts.
The
ceiling
is
a
piston.
It
comes
down
hard.
Water
outside
gives
it
force.
The
machine
works,
but
it
is
stiff.
Can
you
check
it?"
"I
took
the
lamp.
I
looked
at
the
machine.
It
was
big
and
strong.
I
pressed
the
levers.
I
heard
a
sound.
Water
leaked
from
a
cylinder.
I
found
the
problem.
A
rubber
band
was
too
small.
I
told
the
men.
They
asked
questions.
I
explained.
Then,
I
looked
around
more.
The
story
about
fuller’s-earth
was
false.
The
machine
was
too
strong
for
that.
The
walls
were
wood.
The
floor
was
iron.
I
saw
metal
on
it.
I
bent
down
to
look
closer.
Then,
I
heard
the
colonel
behind
me."
"What
are
you
doing?"
he
asked.
I
was
angry.
"I
am
looking
at
your
fuller’s-earth,"
I
said.
"I
need
to
know
what
the
machine
is
for."
"I
was
sorry
I
spoke.
His
face
changed.
His
eyes
looked
angry."
"You
will
know,"
he
said.
He
stepped
back.
He
shut
the
door
and
locked
it.
I
ran
to
the
door.
I
pulled,
but
it
did
not
open.
"Hey!"
I
shouted.
"Colonel!
Let
me
out!"
