Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 3
"Never
mind,"
said
Holmes,
laughing;
"it's
my
business
to
know
things.
Perhaps
I
have
trained
myself
to
see
what
others
overlook.
If
not,
why
would
you
come
to
consult
me?"
"I
came
to
you,
sir,
because
I
heard
of
you
from
Mrs.
Etherege,
whose
husband
you
found
so
easily
when
the
police
and
everyone
else
had
given
him
up
for
dead.
Oh,
Mr.
Holmes,
I
wish
you
would
do
as
much
for
me.
I'm
not
rich,
but
I
still
have
a
hundred
a
year
of
my
own,
besides
the
little
I
make
with
the
typewriter,
and
I
would
give
it
all
to
know
what
has
happened
to
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
"Why
did
you
come
to
consult
me
in
such
a
hurry?"
asked
Sherlock
Holmes,
with
his
fingers
together
and
his
eyes
on
the
ceiling.
Again
a
startled
look
came
over
the
somewhat
empty
face
of
Miss
Mary
Sutherland.
"Yes,
I
did
rush
out
of
the
house,"
she
said,
"because
it
made
me
angry
to
see
how
casually
Mr.
Windibank—that
is,
my
father—took
it
all.
He
wouldn't
go
to
the
police,
and
he
wouldn't
go
to
you,
so
finally,
when
he
did
nothing
and
kept
saying
that
no
harm
was
done,
it
drove
me
mad,
and
I
just
put
on
my
things
and
came
straight
to
you."
"Your
father,"
said
Holmes,
"your
stepfather,
surely,
since
the
name
is
different."
"Yes,
my
stepfather.
I
call
him
father,
though
it
sounds
strange,
too,
because
he
is
only
five
years
and
two
months
older
than
me."
"And
your
mother
is
alive?"
"Oh
yes,
mother
is
doing
well.
I
wasn't
too
happy,
Mr.
Holmes,
when
she
remarried
so
soon
after
father
died,
especially
to
a
man
almost
fifteen
years
younger.
Father
was
a
plumber
on
Tottenham
Court
Road
and
left
a
good
business,
which
mother
ran
with
Mr.
Hardy,
the
foreman.
But
when
Mr.
Windibank
came,
he
made
her
sell
it,
as
he
was
a
wine
traveler
and
felt
superior.
They
got
£4700
for
the
goodwill
and
interest,
which
wasn't
nearly
as
much
as
father
could
have
made
if
he
were
alive."
