Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 15
"On
the
contrary,"
said
Holmes
quietly,
"I
have
every
reason
to
believe
I
will
succeed
in
discovering
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
Mr.
Windibank
gave
a
start
and
dropped
his
gloves.
"I’m
delighted
to
hear
it,"
he
said.
"It’s
curious,"
remarked
Holmes,
"that
a
typewriter
has
as
much
individuality
as
a
person’s
handwriting.
Unless
they’re
new,
no
two
type
exactly
alike.
Some
letters
wear
more
than
others,
and
some
wear
only
on
one
side.
Now,
in
your
note,
Mr.
Windibank,
you’ll
notice
a
slight
slurring
of
the
'e'
and
a
defect
in
the
tail
of
the
'r.'
There
are
fourteen
other
traits,
but
those
are
the
most
obvious."
"We
do
all
our
office
correspondence
with
this
machine,
and
it’s
probably
a
bit
worn,"
our
visitor
replied,
glancing
keenly
at
Holmes
with
his
bright
little
eyes.
"And
now
I’ll
show
you
what’s
really
an
interesting
study,
Mr.
Windibank,"
Holmes
continued.
"I’m
thinking
of
writing
a
monograph
on
the
typewriter
and
its
relation
to
crime.
It’s
a
subject
I’ve
given
some
attention.
I
have
here
four
letters
claiming
to
be
from
the
missing
man.
They’re
all
typewritten.
In
each
case,
not
only
are
the
‘e’s’
slurred
and
the
‘r’s’
tailless,
but
if
you
use
my
magnifying
lens,
you’ll
see
the
fourteen
other
traits
I
mentioned
are
there
too."
Mr.
Windibank
jumped
out
of
his
chair
and
picked
up
his
hat.
"I
can’t
waste
time
on
this
kind
of
fantasy
talk,
Mr.
Holmes,"
he
said.
"If
you
can
catch
the
man,
catch
him,
and
let
me
know
when
you’ve
done
it."
"Certainly,"
said
Holmes,
stepping
over
and
locking
the
door.
"I
let
you
know,
then,
that
I
have
caught
him!"
"What!
Where?"
shouted
Mr.
Windibank,
turning
pale
and
looking
around
like
a
trapped
rat.
