"Excellent!
We
will
then
look
into
the
matter
thoroughly.
There
is
only
one
reasonable
explanation.
You
have
been
brought
there
to
impersonate
someone,
and
the
real
person
is
locked
in
that
room.
It's
obvious.
I
believe
the
prisoner
is
the
daughter,
Miss
Alice
Rucastle,
who
was
said
to
have
gone
to
America.
You
were
chosen
because
you
look
like
her
in
height,
figure,
and
hair
color.
Her
hair
was
likely
cut
during
an
illness,
so
yours
had
to
be
cut
too.
By
chance,
you
found
her
hair.
The
man
on
the
road
was
probably
a
friend
of
hers—maybe
her
fiancé—and
he
thought
you
were
her
because
of
your
laughter
and
gestures.
The
dog
is
let
loose
at
night
to
stop
him
from
contacting
her.
That's
quite
clear.
The
most
serious
issue
is
the
child's
behavior."
"What
does
that
have
to
do
with
it?"
I
asked.
"My
dear
Watson,
as
a
doctor,
you
know
you
can
learn
about
a
child's
tendencies
by
studying
the
parents.
It's
also
true
the
other
way
around.
I've
often
learned
about
parents
by
studying
their
children.
This
child's
behavior
is
cruel
for
no
reason,
and
whether
he
gets
it
from
his
smiling
father,
as
I
suspect,
or
from
his
mother,
it
means
trouble
for
the
poor
girl
in
their
power."
"I
am
sure
you
are
right,
Mr.
Holmes,"
our
client
said.
"Many
things
come
to
mind
that
make
me
certain
you're
correct.
Let's
not
waste
a
moment
in
helping
this
poor
girl."
"We
must
be
careful,
as
we
are
dealing
with
a
very
cunning
man.
We
can't
do
anything
until
seven
o'clock.
At
that
time,
we
will
be
with
you,
and
it
won't
be
long
before
we
solve
the
mystery."
We
kept
our
word,
arriving
at
the
Copper
Beeches
at
seven,
having
left
our
carriage
at
a
nearby
inn.
The
trees,
with
their
dark
leaves
shining
in
the
setting
sun,
marked
the
house
even
if
Miss
Hunter
hadn't
been
smiling
at
the
door.
"Did
you
manage
it?"
asked
Holmes.
A
loud
thud
came
from
downstairs.
"That's
Mrs.
Toller
in
the
cellar,"
she
said.
"Her
husband
is
snoring
on
the
kitchen
rug.
Here
are
his
keys,
which
match
Mr.
Rucastle's."
