Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 12
“But,
surely,
it
was
obvious.
I
was
then
much
surprised
and
interested
on
glancing
down
to
observe
that,
though
the
boots
which
she
was
wearing
were
not
unlike
each
other,
they
were
really
odd
ones;
the
one
having
a
slightly
decorated
toe-cap,
and
the
other
a
plain
one.
One
was
buttoned
only
in
the
two
lower
buttons
out
of
five,
and
the
other
at
the
first,
third,
and
fifth.
Now,
when
you
see
that
a
young
lady,
otherwise
neatly
dressed,
has
come
away
from
home
with
odd
boots,
half-buttoned,
it
is
no
great
deduction
to
say
that
she
came
away
in
a
hurry.”
“And
what
else?”
I
asked,
keenly
interested,
as
I
always
was,
by
my
friend’s
incisive
reasoning.
“I
noted,
in
passing,
that
she
had
written
a
note
before
leaving
home
but
after
being
fully
dressed.
You
observed
that
her
right
glove
was
torn
at
the
forefinger,
but
you
did
not
apparently
see
that
both
glove
and
finger
were
stained
with
violet
ink.
She
had
written
in
a
hurry
and
dipped
her
pen
too
deep.
It
must
have
been
this
morning,
or
the
mark
would
not
remain
clear
upon
the
finger.
All
this
is
amusing,
though
rather
elementary,
but
I
must
go
back
to
business,
Watson.
Would
you
mind
reading
me
the
advertised
description
of
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel?”
I
held
the
little
printed
slip
to
the
light.
“Missing,”
it
said,
“on
the
morning
of
the
fourteenth,
a
gentleman
named
Hosmer
Angel.
About
five
ft.
seven
in.
in
height;
strongly
built,
sallow
complexion,
black
hair,
a
little
bald
in
the
centre,
bushy,
black
side-whiskers
and
moustache;
tinted
glasses,
slight
infirmity
of
speech.
Was
dressed,
when
last
seen,
in
black
frock-coat
faced
with
silk,
black
waistcoat,
gold
Albert
chain,
and
grey
Harris
tweed
trousers,
with
brown
gaiters
over
elastic-sided
boots.
Known
to
have
been
employed
in
an
office
in
Leadenhall
Street.
Anybody
bringing,”
&c,
&c.
“That
will
do,”
said
Holmes.
“As
to
the
letters,”
he
continued,
glancing
over
them,
“they
are
very
commonplace.
Absolutely
no
clue
in
them
to
Mr.
Angel,
save
that
he
quotes
Balzac
once.
There
is
one
remarkable
point,
however,
which
will
no
doubt
strike
you.”
“They
are
typewritten,”
I
remarked.
“Not
only
that,
but
the
signature
is
typewritten.
Look
at
the
neat
little
‘Hosmer
Angel’
at
the
bottom.
There
is
a
date,
you
see,
but
no
superscription
except
Leadenhall
Street,
which
is
rather
vague.
The
point
about
the
signature
is
very
suggestive—in
fact,
we
may
call
it
conclusive.”
“Of
what?”
