Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 12
"It
was
obvious.
I
was
surprised
and
interested
when
I
saw
her
boots.
They
were
odd,
one
with
a
decorated
toe-cap,
the
other
plain.
One
was
buttoned
at
the
bottom,
the
other
at
the
first,
third,
and
fifth.
When
a
neatly
dressed
young
lady
leaves
home
with
odd
boots,
half-buttoned,
she
left
in
a
hurry."
"What
else?"
I
asked,
always
interested
in
my
friend's
sharp
thinking.
"I
noticed
she
wrote
a
note
before
leaving
home.
Her
right
glove
was
torn
and
stained
with
violet
ink.
She
wrote
in
a
hurry
and
dipped
her
pen
too
deep.
It
was
recent,
or
the
mark
wouldn't
be
clear.
This
is
amusing
but
simple.
Now,
back
to
work,
Watson.
Can
you
read
me
the
description
of
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel?"
I
held
the
printed
slip
to
the
light.
"Missing
on
the
morning
of
the
fourteenth,
a
gentleman
named
Hosmer
Angel.
About
five
feet
seven,
strong
build,
sallow
complexion,
black
hair,
a
little
bald,
bushy
side-whiskers
and
mustache,
tinted
glasses,
slight
speech
problem.
Last
seen
in
a
black
coat,
black
waistcoat,
gold
chain,
grey
trousers,
and
brown
boots.
Worked
in
an
office
on
Leadenhall
Street.
Anyone
with
information,"
etc.,
etc.
"That
will
do,"
said
Holmes.
"These
letters
are
very
ordinary,"
he
continued,
looking
at
them.
"There
is
nothing
important
about
Mr.
Angel,
except
he
quotes
Balzac
once.
But
there
is
one
interesting
thing
you
will
notice."
"They
are
typewritten,"
I
said.
"Yes,
and
the
signature
is
typewritten
too.
Look
at
the
neat
'Hosmer
Angel'
at
the
bottom.
There
is
a
date,
but
no
address
except
Leadenhall
Street,
which
is
not
clear.
The
signature
is
very
telling.
We
might
even
say
it
is
final."
"Why?"
