Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 14
“No,
no,
the
mystery!”
I
cried.
“Oh,
that!
I
thought
of
the
salt
that
I
have
been
working
upon.
There
was
never
any
mystery
in
the
matter,
though,
as
I
said
yesterday,
some
of
the
details
are
of
interest.
The
only
drawback
is
that
there
is
no
law,
I
fear,
that
can
touch
the
scoundrel.”
“Who
was
he,
then,
and
what
was
his
object
in
deserting
Miss
Sutherland?”
The
question
was
hardly
out
of
my
mouth,
and
Holmes
had
not
yet
opened
his
lips
to
reply,
when
we
heard
a
heavy
footfall
in
the
passage
and
a
tap
at
the
door.
“This
is
the
girl’s
stepfather,
Mr.
James
Windibank,”
said
Holmes.
“He
has
written
to
me
to
say
that
he
would
be
here
at
six.
Come
in!”
The
man
who
entered
was
a
sturdy,
middle-sized
fellow,
some
thirty
years
of
age,
clean-shaven,
and
sallow-skinned,
with
a
bland,
insinuating
manner,
and
a
pair
of
wonderfully
sharp
and
penetrating
grey
eyes.
He
shot
a
questioning
glance
at
each
of
us,
placed
his
shiny
top-hat
upon
the
sideboard,
and
with
a
slight
bow
sidled
down
into
the
nearest
chair.
“Good-evening,
Mr.
James
Windibank,”
said
Holmes.
“I
think
that
this
typewritten
letter
is
from
you,
in
which
you
made
an
appointment
with
me
for
six
o’clock?”
“Yes,
sir.
I
am
afraid
that
I
am
a
little
late,
but
I
am
not
quite
my
own
master,
you
know.
I
am
sorry
that
Miss
Sutherland
has
troubled
you
about
this
little
matter,
for
I
think
it
is
far
better
not
to
wash
linen
of
the
sort
in
public.
It
was
quite
against
my
wishes
that
she
came,
but
she
is
a
very
excitable,
impulsive
girl,
as
you
may
have
noticed,
and
she
is
not
easily
controlled
when
she
has
made
up
her
mind
on
a
point.
Of
course,
I
did
not
mind
you
so
much,
as
you
are
not
connected
with
the
official
police,
but
it
is
not
pleasant
to
have
a
family
misfortune
like
this
noised
abroad.
Besides,
it
is
a
useless
expense,
for
how
could
you
possibly
find
this
Hosmer
Angel?”
