The Adventure of the Speckled Band
Capítulo 8, Página 9
Holmes
shook
his
head
like
a
man
who
isn't
satisfied.
"This
is
very
complex,"
he
said.
"Please
continue
with
your
story."
"Two
years
have
passed
since
then,
and
my
life
has
been
lonelier
than
ever
until
recently.
A
month
ago,
a
dear
friend
I've
known
for
many
years
asked
me
to
marry
him.
His
name
is
Percy
Armitage,
the
second
son
of
Mr.
Armitage
of
Crane
Water,
near
Reading.
My
stepfather
didn't
oppose
the
match,
and
we
plan
to
marry
in
the
spring.
Two
days
ago,
repairs
started
in
the
west
wing
of
the
house,
and
my
bedroom
wall
was
pierced,
so
I
had
to
move
into
the
room
where
my
sister
died
and
sleep
in
her
bed.
Imagine
my
fear
when
last
night,
as
I
lay
awake
thinking
about
her
terrible
fate,
I
suddenly
heard
the
low
whistle
that
had
been
the
sign
of
her
death.
I
jumped
up
and
lit
the
lamp,
but
there
was
nothing
in
the
room.
I
was
too
scared
to
go
back
to
bed,
so
I
dressed,
and
as
soon
as
it
was
light,
I
went
down,
got
a
dog-cart
at
the
Crown
Inn
across
the
street,
and
drove
to
Leatherhead.
From
there,
I
came
here
this
morning
to
see
you
and
ask
for
your
advice."
"You
did
the
right
thing,"
my
friend
said.
"But
have
you
told
me
everything?"
"Yes,
everything."
"Miss
Roylott,
you
haven't.
You're
protecting
your
stepfather."
"Why,
what
do
you
mean?"
Holmes
answered
by
pushing
back
the
black
lace
on
the
hand
resting
on
our
visitor's
knee.
Five
small
bruises,
the
marks
of
four
fingers
and
a
thumb,
showed
on
her
white
wrist.
