The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Capítulo 12, Página 23
“You
have
done
well
indeed!”
cried
Holmes
with
enthusiasm.
“Now
lead
the
way,
and
we
shall
soon
see
the
end
of
this
black
business.”
We
passed
up
the
stair,
unlocked
the
door,
followed
on
down
a
passage,
and
found
ourselves
in
front
of
the
barricade
which
Miss
Hunter
had
described.
Holmes
cut
the
cord
and
removed
the
transverse
bar.
Then
he
tried
the
various
keys
in
the
lock,
but
without
success.
No
sound
came
from
within,
and
at
the
silence
Holmes’
face
clouded
over.
“I
trust
that
we
are
not
too
late,”
said
he.
“I
think,
Miss
Hunter,
that
we
had
better
go
in
without
you.
Now,
Watson,
put
your
shoulder
to
it,
and
we
shall
see
whether
we
cannot
make
our
way
in.”
It
was
an
old
rickety
door
and
gave
at
once
before
our
united
strength.
Together
we
rushed
into
the
room.
It
was
empty.
There
was
no
furniture
save
a
little
pallet
bed,
a
small
table,
and
a
basketful
of
linen.
The
skylight
above
was
open,
and
the
prisoner
gone.
“There
has
been
some
villainy
here,”
said
Holmes;
“this
beauty
has
guessed
Miss
Hunter’s
intentions
and
has
carried
his
victim
off.”
“But
how?”
“Through
the
skylight.
We
shall
soon
see
how
he
managed
it.”
He
swung
himself
up
onto
the
roof.
“Ah,
yes,”
he
cried,
“here’s
the
end
of
a
long
light
ladder
against
the
eaves.
That
is
how
he
did
it.”
“But
it
is
impossible,”
said
Miss
Hunter;
“the
ladder
was
not
there
when
the
Rucastles
went
away.”
