Capítulo 12, Página 22
"Excellent!
We'll
investigate
thoroughly.
There's
only
one
explanation.
You've
been
brought
there
to
impersonate
someone,
and
the
real
person
is
locked
in
that
room.
It's
obvious.
The
prisoner
is
likely
Miss
Alice
Rucastle,
who
supposedly
went
to
America.
You
were
chosen
because
you
resemble
her
in
height,
figure,
and
hair
color.
Her
hair
was
probably
cut
due
to
an
illness,
so
yours
had
to
be
cut
too.
By
chance,
you
found
her
hair.
The
man
on
the
road
is
likely
a
friend,
maybe
her
fiancé,
and
seeing
you
in
her
dress,
he
thought
she
was
happy
and
didn't
want
his
attention.
The
dog
is
let
loose
at
night
to
stop
him
from
contacting
her.
That's
quite
clear.
The
serious
issue
is
the
child's
behavior."
"What
does
that
have
to
do
with
it?"
I
exclaimed.
"Watson,
as
a
doctor,
you
understand
a
child's
tendencies
by
studying
the
parents.
The
reverse
is
also
true.
I've
often
learned
about
parents
by
observing
their
children.
This
child
is
cruel,
just
for
cruelty's
sake,
and
whether
he
gets
it
from
his
smiling
father,
as
I
suspect,
or
his
mother,
it
spells
trouble
for
the
girl
in
their
power."
"I
believe
you're
right,
Mr.
Holmes,"
our
client
said.
"So
many
things
come
back
to
me
that
prove
you've
got
it.
Let's
not
waste
a
moment
in
helping
her."
"We
must
be
careful,
as
we're
dealing
with
a
cunning
man.
We
can
do
nothing
until
seven.
At
that
time,
we'll
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?"
Holmes
asked.
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,
duplicates
of
Mr.
Rucastle's."
