Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 4
I
thought
Sherlock
Holmes
would
be
impatient
listening
to
this
long
story,
but
he
listened
very
carefully.
"Your
own
little
income,"
he
asked,
"does
it
come
from
the
business?"
"Oh
no,
sir.
It
is
separate
and
was
left
to
me
by
my
uncle
Ned
in
Auckland.
It
is
in
New
Zealand
stock,
paying
4½
percent.
Two
thousand
five
hundred
pounds
was
the
amount,
but
I
can
only
use
the
interest."
"You
interest
me
very
much,"
said
Holmes.
"Since
you
get
a
large
sum
like
a
hundred
a
year,
with
what
you
earn,
you
can
travel
and
enjoy
yourself.
I
think
a
single
lady
can
live
well
on
about
£60."
"I
could
live
on
much
less,
Mr.
Holmes,
but
I
live
at
home
and
don't
want
to
be
a
burden.
So
they
use
the
money
while
I
stay
with
them.
This
is
only
temporary.
Mr.
Windibank
takes
my
interest
every
quarter
and
gives
it
to
mother,
and
I
manage
well
with
what
I
earn
from
typewriting.
It
pays
me
twopence
a
sheet,
and
I
can
do
fifteen
to
twenty
sheets
a
day."
"You
have
explained
your
situation
clearly,"
said
Holmes.
"This
is
my
friend,
Dr.
Watson.
You
can
talk
to
him
like
you
talk
to
me.
Please
tell
us
about
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
Miss
Sutherland's
face
turned
red,
and
she
played
nervously
with
her
jacket.
"I
met
him
first
at
the
gasfitters'
ball,"
she
said.
"They
used
to
send
father
tickets
when
he
was
alive,
and
then
they
sent
them
to
mother.
Mr.
Windibank
didn't
want
us
to
go.
He
never
wanted
us
to
go
anywhere.
He
got
angry
if
I
wanted
to
join
a
Sunday-school
event.
But
this
time
I
wanted
to
go,
and
I
went.
What
right
did
he
have
to
stop
us?
He
said
the
people
were
not
good
enough
for
us,
though
father's
friends
were
there.
He
said
I
had
nothing
to
wear,
but
I
had
my
purple
plush
dress.
When
he
couldn't
stop
us,
he
went
to
France
for
work,
and
mother
and
I
went
with
Mr.
Hardy,
and
that's
where
I
met
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
"I
suppose,"
said
Holmes,
"that
when
Mr.
Windibank
returned
from
France,
he
was
upset
you
went
to
the
ball."
