Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 17
"Maybe
it
is
true,
or
maybe
not,
Mr.
Holmes,"
he
said.
"But
if
you
are
so
smart,
you
should
know
that
you
are
breaking
the
law
now,
not
me.
I
did
nothing
wrong,
but
as
long
as
you
keep
that
door
locked,
you
could
be
in
trouble
for
assault
and
illegal
restraint."
"The
law
cannot
touch
you,"
said
Holmes,
opening
the
door.
"But
no
man
deserves
punishment
more.
If
the
young
lady
has
a
brother
or
a
friend,
he
should
hit
you
with
a
whip.
By
Jove!"
he
said,
getting
angry
at
the
man's
sneer.
"It's
not
part
of
my
job,
but
here's
a
whip,
and
I
think
I
shall
use
it—"
He
took
two
quick
steps
to
the
whip,
but
before
he
could
grab
it,
there
was
a
loud
noise
on
the
stairs.
The
heavy
door
banged,
and
from
the
window,
we
saw
Mr.
James
Windibank
running
fast
down
the
road.
"What
a
cold-blooded
scoundrel!"
said
Holmes,
laughing,
as
he
sat
back
in
his
chair.
"That
man
will
keep
doing
bad
things
until
he
does
something
very
serious
and
ends
up
on
the
gallows.
This
case
has
been
interesting
in
some
ways."
"I
cannot
see
all
your
reasoning,"
I
said.
"Well,
it
was
clear
from
the
start
that
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel
had
a
strong
reason
for
his
strange
behavior.
It
was
also
clear
that
the
stepfather
was
the
only
one
who
gained
anything.
The
fact
that
the
two
men
were
never
together,
but
one
appeared
when
the
other
was
away,
was
suggestive.
The
glasses
and
the
strange
voice
hinted
at
a
disguise,
just
like
the
whiskers.
My
suspicions
were
confirmed
by
his
action
of
typing
his
signature,
which
meant
his
handwriting
was
familiar
to
her.
All
these
facts
pointed
in
the
same
direction."
"And
how
did
you
check
them?"
"Once
I
identified
him,
it
was
easy
to
confirm.
I
knew
the
company
he
worked
for.
I
took
the
description
and
removed
anything
that
could
be
a
disguise—the
whiskers,
glasses,
voice—and
sent
it
to
the
company.
I
asked
if
it
matched
any
of
their
employees.
I
noticed
the
typewriter's
peculiarities
and
wrote
to
him
at
his
work
address,
asking
him
to
come
here.
As
expected,
his
reply
was
typed
and
showed
the
same
small
defects.
The
same
post
brought
me
a
letter
from
Westhouse
&
Marbank,
saying
the
description
matched
James
Windibank.
Voilà
tout!"
"And
Miss
Sutherland?"
