Las aventuras de Sherlock Holmes
A Case of Identity
Capítulo 3, Página 15
“On
the
contrary,”
said
Holmes
quietly;
“I
have
every
reason
to
believe
that
I
will
succeed
in
discovering
Mr.
Hosmer
Angel.”
Mr.
Windibank
gave
a
violent
start
and
dropped
his
gloves.
“I
am
delighted
to
hear
it,”
he
said.
“It
is
a
curious
thing,”
remarked
Holmes,
“that
a
typewriter
has
really
quite
as
much
individuality
as
a
man’s
handwriting.
Unless
they
are
quite
new,
no
two
of
them
write
exactly
alike.
Some
letters
get
more
worn
than
others,
and
some
wear
only
on
one
side.
Now,
you
remark
in
this
note
of
yours,
Mr.
Windibank,
that
in
every
case
there
is
some
little
slurring
over
of
the
‘e,’
and
a
slight
defect
in
the
tail
of
the
‘r.’
There
are
fourteen
other
characteristics,
but
those
are
the
more
obvious.”
“We
do
all
our
correspondence
with
this
machine
at
the
office,
and
no
doubt
it
is
a
little
worn,”
our
visitor
answered,
glancing
keenly
at
Holmes
with
his
bright
little
eyes.
“And
now
I
will
show
you
what
is
really
a
very
interesting
study,
Mr.
Windibank,”
Holmes
continued.
“I
think
of
writing
another
little
monograph
some
of
these
days
on
the
typewriter
and
its
relation
to
crime.
It
is
a
subject
to
which
I
have
devoted
some
little
attention.
I
have
here
four
letters
which
purport
to
come
from
the
missing
man.
They
are
all
typewritten.
In
each
case,
not
only
are
the
‘e’s’
slurred
and
the
‘r’s’
tailless,
but
you
will
observe,
if
you
care
to
use
my
magnifying
lens,
that
the
fourteen
other
characteristics
to
which
I
have
alluded
are
there
as
well.”
Mr.
Windibank
sprang
out
of
his
chair
and
picked
up
his
hat.
“I
cannot
waste
time
over
this
sort
of
fantastic
talk,
Mr.
Holmes,”
he
said.
“If
you
can
catch
the
man,
catch
him,
and
let
me
know
when
you
have
done
it.”
“Certainly,”
said
Holmes,
stepping
over
and
turning
the
key
in
the
door.
“I
let
you
know,
then,
that
I
have
caught
him!”
“What!
where?”
shouted
Mr.
Windibank,
turning
white
to
his
lips
and
glancing
about
him
like
a
rat
in
a
trap.
