The Adventure of the Copper Beeches
Capítulo 12, Página 3
“It
may
turn
out
to
be
of
more
interest
than
you
think.
You
remember
that
the
affair
of
the
blue
carbuncle,
which
appeared
to
be
a
mere
whim
at
first,
developed
into
a
serious
investigation.
It
may
be
so
in
this
case,
also.”
“Well,
let
us
hope
so.
But
our
doubts
will
very
soon
be
solved,
for
here,
unless
I
am
much
mistaken,
is
the
person
in
question.”
As
he
spoke
the
door
opened
and
a
young
lady
entered
the
room.
She
was
plainly
but
neatly
dressed,
with
a
bright,
quick
face,
freckled
like
a
plover’s
egg,
and
with
the
brisk
manner
of
a
woman
who
has
had
her
own
way
to
make
in
the
world.
“You
will
excuse
my
troubling
you,
I
am
sure,”
said
she,
as
my
companion
rose
to
greet
her,
“but
I
have
had
a
very
strange
experience,
and
as
I
have
no
parents
or
relations
of
any
sort
from
whom
I
could
ask
advice,
I
thought
that
perhaps
you
would
be
kind
enough
to
tell
me
what
I
should
do.”
“Pray
take
a
seat,
Miss
Hunter.
I
shall
be
happy
to
do
anything
that
I
can
to
serve
you.”
I
could
see
that
Holmes
was
favourably
impressed
by
the
manner
and
speech
of
his
new
client.
He
looked
her
over
in
his
searching
fashion,
and
then
composed
himself,
with
his
lids
drooping
and
his
finger-tips
together,
to
listen
to
her
story.
“I
have
been
a
governess
for
five
years,”
said
she,
“in
the
family
of
Colonel
Spence
Munro,
but
two
months
ago
the
colonel
received
an
appointment
at
Halifax,
in
Nova
Scotia,
and
took
his
children
over
to
America
with
him,
so
that
I
found
myself
without
a
situation.
I
advertised,
and
I
answered
advertisements,
but
without
success.
At
last
the
little
money
which
I
had
saved
began
to
run
short,
and
I
was
at
my
wit’s
end
as
to
what
I
should
do.”
“There
is
a
well-known
agency
for
governesses
in
the
West
End
called
Westaway’s,
and
there
I
used
to
call
about
once
a
week
in
order
to
see
whether
anything
had
turned
up
which
might
suit
me.
Westaway
was
the
name
of
the
founder
of
the
business,
but
it
is
really
managed
by
Miss
Stoper.
She
sits
in
her
own
little
office,
and
the
ladies
who
are
seeking
employment
wait
in
an
anteroom,
and
are
then
shown
in
one
by
one,
when
she
consults
her
ledgers
and
sees
whether
she
has
anything
which
would
suit
them.”
