Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 12
"But
it
was
obvious.
I
was
then
surprised
and
interested
to
notice
that,
although
her
boots
seemed
similar,
they
were
actually
mismatched;
one
had
a
slightly
decorated
toe-cap,
the
other
was
plain.
One
was
buttoned
at
only
the
two
lower
buttons
out
of
five,
and
the
other
at
the
first,
third,
and
fifth.
When
you
see
a
young
lady,
otherwise
neatly
dressed,
leave
home
with
mismatched,
half-buttoned
boots,
it's
not
hard
to
deduce
she
left
in
a
hurry."
"And
what
else?"
I
asked,
always
intrigued
by
my
friend's
sharp
reasoning.
"I
noticed
she
wrote
a
note
before
leaving
home
but
after
getting
dressed.
You
saw
her
right
glove
was
torn
at
the
forefinger,
but
you
didn't
see
that
both
glove
and
finger
were
stained
with
violet
ink.
She
wrote
in
a
hurry
and
dipped
her
pen
too
deep.
It
must
have
been
this
morning,
or
the
mark
wouldn't
be
so
clear.
All
this
is
amusing,
though
quite
simple,
but
I
must
return
to
business,
Watson.
Would
you
mind
reading
me
the
advertisement
about
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel?"
I
held
the
small
printed
slip
to
the
light.
"Missing,"
it
read,
"on
the
morning
of
the
fourteenth,
a
gentleman
named
Hosmer
Angel.
About
five
feet
seven
inches
tall,
strongly
built,
sallow
complexion,
black
hair,
slightly
bald
in
the
center,
bushy
black
side-whiskers
and
mustache,
wore
tinted
glasses,
slight
speech
impediment.
Last
seen
wearing
a
black
frock-coat
with
silk
facing,
black
waistcoat,
gold
Albert
chain,
and
gray
Harris
tweed
trousers
with
brown
gaiters
over
elastic-sided
boots.
Known
to
have
worked
in
an
office
on
Leadenhall
Street.
Anyone
bringing,"
etc.,
etc.
"That
will
do,"
said
Holmes.
"Regarding
the
letters,"
he
continued,
glancing
at
them,
"they
are
quite
ordinary.
There’s
no
clue
about
Mr.
Angel,
except
he
quotes
Balzac
once.
However,
there
is
one
striking
point
that
you’ll
surely
notice."
"They
are
typewritten,"
I
observed.
"Not
only
that,
but
the
signature
is
also
typewritten.
Look
at
the
neat
little
'Hosmer
Angel'
at
the
bottom.
There’s
a
date,
but
no
address
except
Leadenhall
Street,
which
is
rather
vague.
The
point
about
the
signature
is
very
suggestive—in
fact,
we
might
call
it
conclusive."
"Of
what?"
