“She
was
never
happy
at
home,
Miss
Alice
wasn’t,
from
the
time
that
her
father
married
again.
She
was
slighted
like
and
had
no
say
in
anything,
but
it
never
really
became
bad
for
her
until
after
she
met
Mr.
Fowler
at
a
friend’s
house.
As
well
as
I
could
learn,
Miss
Alice
had
rights
of
her
own
by
will,
but
she
was
so
quiet
and
patient,
she
was,
that
she
never
said
a
word
about
them
but
just
left
everything
in
Mr.
Rucastle’s
hands.
He
knew
he
was
safe
with
her;
but
when
there
was
a
chance
of
a
husband
coming
forward,
who
would
ask
for
all
that
the
law
would
give
him,
then
her
father
thought
it
time
to
put
a
stop
on
it.
He
wanted
her
to
sign
a
paper,
so
that
whether
she
married
or
not,
he
could
use
her
money.
When
she
wouldn’t
do
it,
he
kept
on
worrying
her
until
she
got
brain-fever,
and
for
six
weeks
was
at
death’s
door.
Then
she
got
better
at
last,
all
worn
to
a
shadow,
and
with
her
beautiful
hair
cut
off;
but
that
didn’t
make
no
change
in
her
young
man,
and
he
stuck
to
her
as
true
as
man
could
be.”
“Ah,”
said
Holmes,
“I
think
that
what
you
have
been
good
enough
to
tell
us
makes
the
matter
fairly
clear,
and
that
I
can
deduce
all
that
remains.
Mr.
Rucastle
then,
I
presume,
took
to
this
system
of
imprisonment?”
“Yes,
sir.”
“And
brought
Miss
Hunter
down
from
London
in
order
to
get
rid
of
the
disagreeable
persistence
of
Mr.
Fowler.”
“That
was
it,
sir.”
“But
Mr.
Fowler
being
a
persevering
man,
as
a
good
seaman
should
be,
blockaded
the
house,
and
having
met
you
succeeded
by
certain
arguments,
metallic
or
otherwise,
in
convincing
you
that
your
interests
were
the
same
as
his.”
“Mr.
Fowler
was
a
very
kind-spoken,
free-handed
gentleman,”
said
Mrs.
Toller
serenely.
“And
in
this
way
he
managed
that
your
good
man
should
have
no
want
of
drink,
and
that
a
ladder
should
be
ready
at
the
moment
when
your
master
had
gone
out.”
