Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 4
I
thought
Sherlock
Holmes
might
be
impatient
with
this
rambling
story,
but
instead,
he
listened
with
intense
focus.
"Your
own
little
income,"
he
asked,
"does
it
come
from
the
business?"
"Oh
no,
sir.
It’s
separate
and
was
left
to
me
by
my
uncle
Ned
in
Auckland.
It’s
in
New
Zealand
stock,
paying
4½
percent.
The
total
was
two
thousand
five
hundred
pounds,
but
I
can
only
use
the
interest."
"You
interest
me
greatly,"
said
Holmes.
"And
since
you
receive
a
hundred
a
year,
plus
what
you
earn,
you
must
travel
a
bit
and
enjoy
life.
I
think
a
single
lady
can
live
well
on
about
£60."
"I
could
manage
on
less,
Mr.
Holmes,
but
as
long
as
I
live
at
home,
I
don't
want
to
be
a
burden,
so
they
use
the
money
while
I
stay
with
them.
Mr.
Windibank
collects
my
interest
each
quarter
and
gives
it
to
mother,
and
I
manage
quite
well
with
what
I
make
from
typewriting.
I
get
twopence
a
sheet
and
can
often
do
fifteen
to
twenty
sheets
a
day."
"You've
made
your
situation
quite
clear,"
said
Holmes.
"This
is
my
friend,
Dr.
Watson,
and
you
can
speak
freely
in
front
of
him.
Please
tell
us
about
your
connection
with
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
Miss
Sutherland
blushed
and
nervously
picked
at
her
jacket
fringe.
"I
met
him
first
at
the
gasfitters'
ball,"
she
said.
"They
used
to
send
father
tickets
when
he
was
alive,
and
they
continued
sending
them
to
mother.
Mr.
Windibank
didn’t
want
us
to
go.
He
never
wanted
us
to
go
anywhere.
He
would
get
furious
if
I
wanted
to
join
a
Sunday-school
outing.
But
I
was
determined
to
go
this
time.
What
right
had
he
to
stop
me?
He
said
the
people
weren't
suitable
for
us,
even
though
all
father's
friends
would
be
there.
And
he
claimed
I
had
nothing
to
wear,
though
I
had
a
purple
plush
dress
I’d
never
used.
In
the
end,
he
left
for
France
on
business,
so
we
went,
mother
and
I,
with
Mr.
Hardy,
and
that's
where
I
met
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel."
"I
suppose,"
said
Holmes,
"that
Mr.
Windibank
was
upset
when
he
returned
from
France
and
found
out
you
had
gone
to
the
ball."
