Capítulo 5, Página 9
"Three
days
after
the
letter,
my
father
left
home.
He
went
to
see
his
old
friend,
Major
Freebody,
who
is
in
charge
of
a
fort
on
Portsdown
Hill.
I
was
glad
he
went
because
I
thought
he
was
safer
away
from
home.
But
I
was
wrong.
Two
days
later,
I
got
a
telegram
from
the
major,
asking
me
to
come
at
once.
My
father
had
fallen
into
a
deep
chalk
pit
and
was
hurt
badly.
I
rushed
to
him,
but
he
died
without
waking
up.
He
was
coming
back
from
Fareham
in
the
evening.
He
didn’t
know
the
area,
and
the
pit
had
no
fence.
The
jury
said
it
was
an
accident.
I
checked
everything
about
his
death
but
found
nothing
strange.
There
were
no
signs
of
violence,
no
footprints,
no
robbery,
and
no
strangers
were
seen.
Still,
I
was
not
at
ease.
I
felt
sure
someone
had
planned
something
bad
for
him."
"In
this
sad
way,
I
got
my
inheritance.
You
might
ask
why
I
didn’t
sell
it.
I
think
our
troubles
came
from
something
in
my
uncle’s
life,
and
the
danger
would
be
the
same
anywhere."
"My
father
died
in
January
1885.
Two
years
and
eight
months
have
passed
since
then.
I
lived
happily
in
Horsham
and
hoped
the
curse
was
gone.
I
thought
it
ended
with
the
last
generation.
But
I
was
wrong.
Yesterday
morning,
the
same
trouble
came
again,
just
like
it
did
for
my
father."
"The
young
man
took
a
crumpled
envelope
from
his
pocket.
He
shook
out
five
little
dried
orange
pips
onto
the
table."
"‘This
is
the
envelope,’
he
said.
‘The
postmark
is
from
London,
eastern
division.
Inside
are
the
same
words
as
my
father’s
last
message:
“K.
K.
K.”
and
“Put
the
papers
on
the
sundial.”’"
"‘What
have
you
done?’
asked
Holmes."
"‘Nothing.’"
"‘Nothing?’"
