"I
see.
Please
continue."
"I
could
not
sleep
that
night.
I
felt
something
bad
was
going
to
happen.
My
sister
and
I
were
twins,
and
we
were
very
close.
It
was
a
wild
night.
The
wind
was
loud,
and
the
rain
hit
the
windows.
Suddenly,
I
heard
a
woman
scream.
I
knew
it
was
my
sister.
I
jumped
from
my
bed,
put
on
a
shawl,
and
ran
into
the
hallway.
As
I
opened
my
door,
I
thought
I
heard
a
low
whistle
and
then
a
metal
sound.
I
ran
down
the
hall,
and
my
sister's
door
was
open.
I
was
scared,
not
knowing
what
would
happen.
By
the
light
in
the
hall,
I
saw
my
sister.
Her
face
was
white
with
fear.
She
looked
for
help,
swaying
like
a
drunk
person.
I
ran
to
her
and
held
her,
but
she
fell
to
the
ground.
She
was
in
pain,
and
her
body
shook.
At
first,
I
thought
she
did
not
know
me,
but
then
she
screamed,
'Oh,
my
God!
Helen!
It
was
the
band!
The
speckled
band!'
She
wanted
to
say
more
and
pointed
to
the
Doctor's
room,
but
she
shook
again
and
could
not
speak.
I
called
for
my
stepfather,
and
he
came
quickly.
My
sister
was
unconscious.
He
gave
her
brandy
and
called
a
doctor,
but
nothing
helped.
She
died
without
waking
up.
That
was
the
end
of
my
dear
sister."
"One
moment,"
said
Holmes,
"are
you
sure
about
the
whistle
and
metal
sound?
Could
you
swear
to
it?"
"The
county
coroner
asked
me
that
too.
I
am
sure
I
heard
it,
but
with
the
storm
and
the
old
house
noises,
I
might
have
been
wrong."
"Was
your
sister
dressed?"
"No,
she
wore
her
night-dress.
In
her
right
hand
was
a
burnt
match,
and
in
her
left,
a
matchbox."
"That
shows
she
lit
a
match
to
look
around
when
the
alarm
happened.
That
is
important.
What
did
the
coroner
decide?"
"He
looked
into
the
case
carefully.
Dr.
Roylott
was
known
for
his
bad
behavior,
but
they
found
no
cause
of
death.
My
evidence
showed
the
door
was
locked
from
the
inside,
and
the
windows
had
bars.
The
walls
and
floor
were
solid.
The
chimney
was
wide
but
had
bars.
So,
my
sister
was
alone
when
she
died.
There
were
no
marks
on
her."
